MICROWAVE SCANNING BEAM APPROACH AND LANDING SYSTEM PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA. VOLUME I

The use of phased arrays for the proposed landing system (MLS) is discussed. Studies relating to ground reflections, near field focusing, and phased-array errors are presented. Two experimental antennas which were fabricated and tested are described. Complete component specifications as well as test results are included. (Author Modified Abstract)
