Abstract
A phased circular array of antennas each having an omnidirectional radiation pattern are disposed on an outside surface of a planar sheet conformed to the shape of a cylinder. A plurality of coplanar waveguides includes a ground line and a signal line feeding the antennas is disposed on the outside surface of the cylinder. A signal-carrying feed network electromagnetically coupled to the coplanar waveguides is disposed on an inside surface of the cylinder which does not interfere with radiation from the antennas. An electrical ground is disposed on the outside surface of the cylinder which is connected to the ground feed of each of the coplanar waveguides and serves as a ground plane for the signal-carrying feed network. The array is configured to provide 360° beam steering around the vertical axis of the cylinder. A method of fabrication is disclosed.
