An antenna system simultaneously providing a radar function and a secondary communication function with beam agility is proposed. The system is composed of a slotted waveguide (for the communication function) feeding a horn antenna (for the radar function). Direct modulation in four different directions can be obtained for communication provided each radiating slot is equipped with a simple switch. © 2017 IEEE.
