Wow okay now it really makes sense.
Truly one of the most RF shapes of all time
I've set up a simulation of a Rotman lens to drive a phased array in Elmer. The matching of the ports is poor, causing lots of internal reflections, resulting in unwanted side lobes and poor channel separation. Nonetheless I think it still demonstrates the principle nicely 😊

Store separation is HARD, boundary conditions are kind of a pain and this is why modern rails have energetics squibs to kick the weapon clear via piston punch out of the boundary zone and into the laminar flow of air.
