Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / omnidirectional circularly polarized waveguide antenna
English term or phrase: to squint the beam
The aim of this invention is to realize an omnidirectional circularly polarized waveguide antenna which exhibits low-loss, high efficiency, and provide a means of beam control in elevation plane.

In one preffered embodiment, the flared section (22) is used to squint the beam in elevation plane (Figure 5). The flare can be used in one or both of the top plate (2) and bottom body (3) sections (Figure 8).

The omnidirectional circularly polarized wavuide antenna (1), which is the subject of this invention, is entirely constructed with waveguides and does not contain any coaxial lines. Therefore, the loss is smaller and the efficiency is higher than the state of the art antennas which have the same radiation properties. The circular polarization is not obtained by slot pairs. Therefore, the mechanical errors in manufacturing are much tolerable. In addition, the a means of beam control in elevation plane is provided.

C'est le contraire de converger 'squint'

agree  Tony M: Yes! 'squint' means that the beam does not point in quite the direction you'd expect: it is in some way misaligned with (say) the axis of the waveguide.
