Abstract
A steerable, high-power microwave antenna includes: a forward-traveling, leaky-wave feed antenna; a trans-reflecting conical-sectional reflector disposed spaced-apart and above said leaky-wave feed antenna and having a conical surface facing said leaky-wave feed antenna and formed of a plurality of electrical conductors held in parallel order in a grill; and a twist-reflector pivotally mounted opposite and spaced-apart from said conical surface of said trans-reflecting conical-sectional reflector. The twist-reflector is adapted to receive microwave energy reflected to it from said conical surface of said trans-reflecting conical-sectional reflector and to rotate the polarization of said microwave energy and reflect said microwave energy back to said trans-reflecting conical-sectional reflector for passing through said trans-reflecting conical-sectional reflector and forming a narrow, pencil-like beam of high energy radiation in polarized form extending outward from said conical surface of said trans-reflecting conical-sectional reflector.
