Abstract
An array antenna system producing beams with widths constant with scan angle. The antenna array is fed by a microwave lens. The beam ports of the lens are disposed along an arc displaced from the focal arc of the lens. The distance between the arc and the focal arm decreases from a maximum amount at the center of the lens to a minimum amount where the arc intersects the focal arc.
