Conventionally, in this type of antenna, when forming a radiation pattern, the amplitudes of the element antennas 1a to 1n are set by a power divider 2, and the phases are made equal. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of reflection from the ground, sea surface, etc., the element antenna 1a is designed to reduce the side lobe level of the array antenna.
Setting an amplitude of ~1n has the disadvantage that the efficiency of the antenna decreases (for example, the efficiency of a Taylor distribution with a sidelobe level of -30 dB is about 85%, and the efficiency of a Taylor distribution with a sidelobe level of -40 dB is about 70%). Ta.

This invention was made to improve these conventional problems, and in order to make the radiation pattern asymmetric and reduce the sidelobe level on one side, the amplitude distribution is fixed to a Taylor distribution, etc., and a polygonal line is created. By setting a phase distribution in the element antenna, an array antenna with good electrical characteristics is provided without reducing antenna efficiency.
