Abstract
An antenna array for combining in space microwave energy from a number of cillators, such as IMPATT diodes, which are controllable by injection locking. The array has elements individually driven by the oscillators, but an injection locking signal is provided in the usual manner only to the oscillator of a central element. The other oscillator are injection locked through mutual coupling between the central element and the other elements so that coherent radiation is output by the array. The radiation may be steered by phase shifters between the elements and their oscillators.
