The beam approach beacon system (BABS) used a single feed system to give improved reliability and accuracy in an azimuth approach system for aircraft. Two slots cut round adjacent corners of a rectangular cavity could be alternately short- and open-circuited so that only one slot radiated at a time. The cavity was fed from a central probe and the whole structure mounted in a corner reflector to five two overlapping, mirror-imaged beams. 3, record 2, English, - beam%20approach%20beacon%20system
