Abstract
An offset flared radiator and probe assembly for radiating and receiving electromagnetic energy. The radiator includes a reflective resonator which is nonsymmetrical to the radiator axis, and is coupled to the flare slotline region by a bend and transverse slotline region. The transverse slotline region is of sufficient length to accommodate a probe also offset from, and parallel to the radiator axis. The probe has no bends to cause reflections. The junction between the probe and the transverse slot region provides a coupling region for the energy received at the flared radiator.
