A beam-forming network (98) employs one or a plurality of first transmission delay lines (168, 170, 172, 174) for receiving transmit signals (T1-T4) applied thereto, and a plurality of second transmission lines (176), which serve as line summers. Each of the first transmission delay lines has first
A beam-forming network (98) employs one or a plurality of first transmission delay lines (168, 170, 172, 174) for receiving transmit signals (T1-T4) applied thereto, and a plurality of second transmission lines (176), which serve as line summers. Each of the first transmission delay lines has first and second portions (168a, 168b; 170a, 170b; 172a; 172b; 174a; 174b) spaced apart from one another so as to define first and second levels displaced from one another. The set of second transmission lines (176) are arranged in first and second subsets (176a, 176b) which are respectively disposed adjacent to the first and second levels and respectively associated with the first and second portions of the first lines, such that the first subset of second lines is coupled to the first portion of the first lines, and the second subset of the second lines is coupled to the second portion of the first lines. Further, selected ones of the first subset of second lines are disposed adjacent to selected ones of the second subset of second lines in order to facilitate simple and orderly routing of transmission lines (126, 128, 130) between the beam-forming network and a novel equal power amplifier system (100) described herein.

A beam-forming network for producing, from at least one transmit signal, a plurality of output signals having a predetermined relationship with respect to one another for providing a predetermined excitation pattern to an array of radiating elements in an antenna system, comprising: a first line for carrying the transmit signal; and, a set of second lines spaced from one another and operatively disposed at an angle to and crossing the first line so as to define cross-over points therewith, each of the second lines being coupled to the first line at the cross-over points such that a portion of the electromagnetic energy of the transmit signal carried by the first line is transferable to each of the second lines, each of the second lines having an output adapted to be placed in electromagnetic communication with the array, the first line having first and second portions spaced apart from one another and respectively defining first and second levels displaced from one another, and the set of second lines having first and second subsets of second line overlying each other and respectively arranged adjacent to said first and second level, the first and second subsets of second lines being respectively associated with the first and second portions of the first line, such that the first subset of second lines is coupled to the first portion of the first line, and the second subset of second lines is coupled to the second portion of the first line.
