This paper presents a novel type of waveguide monopulse feeder, which has the concept of a space feed, suitable for liner phased array antenna. The design methods and measurement results of the 2‐to‐39 port feeder at X‐band are described. Measurement results show that this feeder has characteristics of the required optimum 1‐D monopulse power distribution, low insertion loss and good input match. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
