  • Publication number: 20230208031
    Abstract: A directional antenna array, to a radio-frequency antenna that includes one or more directional arrays and that is directional in one or two dimensions, and to a method for pointing the radio-frequency antenna and the associated computer program product. The directional antenna array comprises: a rectangular waveguide extending along a longitudinal axis, and comprising: a fixed portion with two lateral faces and an upper face, and a bottom part; a plurality of radiating elements placed on the fixed portion of the waveguide. The bottom part of the rectangular waveguide is movable translationally in a direction of movement parallel to the lateral faces, the maximum distance between the bottom part and the upper face being smaller than the distance between the lateral faces.

  • Patent number: 11437727
    Abstract: An antenna horn includes a waveguide having an open end and an end allowing access to transmitted signals, the widest opposite walls constituting a first pair of walls, two first ridges inside the waveguide, in the middle and over the whole length of the walls of the first pair of walls, a flat central wall connecting the walls of the second pair of walls at their midpoints at the level of the accesses, stopping in the direction of the open end so as to polarize signals transmitted by the two accesses according to orthogonal circular polarizations, and forming two ridges in the middle of the walls of the second pair of walls from the side of the open end, and with an antenna, an item of radio communication equipment and a method using the horn.
