Abstract

The CW phased-array antenna for the EBWH/CD has been developed in QUEST. The measured fields were in excellent agreement with those evaluated by the Kirchhoff integral. The thermal load and stress were analyzed. The phase array has been fast scanned to control the incident polarization and angle.
