Disclosed are various embodiments of an electromagnetic hybrid phased array system. One such embodiment includes a guided surface waveguide probe, and a contrawound toroidal helix antenna collocated with the guided surface waveguide probe in which the contrawound toroidal helix comprises ring elements spaced from each other and wrapped around the guided surface waveguide probe. The system furtherincludes a signal source applied to at least the guided surface waveguide probe, such that the guided surface waveguide probe and the contrawound toroidal helix contribute individual vertical electricfields to form a radiation pattern based on the phase and amplitude characteristics of the individual vertical electric fields. 公开了电磁混合相控阵系统的各种实施例。个这样的实施例包括引导表面波导探头以及与引导表面波导探头并置的反绕环形螺旋天线，其中，反绕环形螺旋包括彼此间隔开并缠绕在引导表面波导探头周围的环形元件。该系统还包括施加到至少引导表面波导探头的信号源，使得引导表面波导探头和反绕环形螺旋贡献基于各个垂直电场的相位和幅度特性形成辐射图案的各个垂直电场。
