Abstract: A dielectric lens antenna includes a dielectric lens, a primary radiator and a dielectric member provided between the dielectric lens and the primary radiator. The dielectric member is formed into a substantially circular cone shape, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric member is reduced continuously in the radial direction of the dielectric lens from the center line passing through the center of the dielectric lens and the primary radiator.

Abstract: An antenna apparatus such that a dielectric strip and a dielectric resonator are provided to form a primary vertical radiator, another dielectric strip is provided which is coupled to the dielectric strip to form a directional coupler, and a radiation beam is tilted by changing the relative position of the primary radiator with respect to the dielectric lens by displacing the primary vertical radiator in the directional coupler.

Abstract: An antenna device has less change in gain during beam scanning, caused by the displacement of a primary radiator with respect to a dielectric lens, and scanning can be carried out over a large angular range at uniform gain. A primary radiator has a focal plane in a position deviating from the optical axis of a dielectric lens, and when the primary radiator intersects the optical axis, the primary radiator leaves the focal plane. As a consequence, by moving the primary radiator away from the optical axis to other positions, change in the gain caused by change in the open efficiency and aberration can be reduced.

By the above described structure and arrangement, it become possible to widen a half-value angle in the direction which the flat ends of the lens are disposed without reducing a gain significantly.

Abstract: A dielectric lens antenna having a lens comprising a dielectric material and a heating body disposed on a surface of the lens. The dielectric lens antenna has a snow-melting function, which prevents degradation in lens-efficiency.

Abstract: A voltage source type power converting apparatus having voltage source type power converter units and phase-shifting transformers. The transformers have either a common multiple-phase primary winding or a group of parallel connected multiple-phase primary windings, either of which being connected in parallel or series to a multiple-phase AC system. The transformer further include a group of multiple-phase secondary windings with phase differences with respect to each other and which are connected to voltage source type power converter units. The voltage source type power converter units are operated with the phase differences. Accordingly, the construction of the multiplexing phase-shifting transformer is simple, and fundamental electric variables can be controlled by a simple phase controlling operation. In addition, a higher harmonic defect of the AC system can be reduced, and the DC voltage can be easily raised.

Abstract: A power converting apparatus includes a power converter connected to a power line via a transformer 3, and current detectors 5A and 5B for detecting the currents of the windings of the transformer. The output signals of the current detectors 5A and 5B are mathematically processed to produce an exciting current component of a transformer 3. The exciting current component is mathematically processed to produce a flux density contained DC component. Further, the flux density contained DC component and a flux density contained DC component command value are mathematically processed to produce a voltage command correction value.
