Abstract
This invention is a small, inexpensive lightweight, easy to assemble multibeam or phased array device which may be used as a feed for a reflector or lens antenna. The device employs an array of planar radiators coupled to stripline hybrids to form individual feed or antenna elements. The feed or antenna elements are then coupled into a filter in order to pass the desired band or frequencies and reject undesirable bands or frequencies.
