  • Patent number: 9847572
    Abstract: A high-frequency reflector antenna (1) is provided that includes at least one main reflector (2), at least one sub-reflector (3) and at least one horn (4). The stationary elements (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8) for influencing the direction-dependent reception characteristic are present in the beam path between the main reflector (2) and the horn (4). The stationary elements (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8) may protrude into the free aperture area (6) of the horn (4). The stationary elements (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8) are switchable dipole elements (5.1.1, 5.2.1, 5.3.1, 5.4.1, 5.5.1, 5.6.1, 5.7.1, 5.8.1) that are arranged with their dipole axis (15) in a manner to influence the reception characteristics of elliptically to circularly or linearly polarised high-frequency radiation.
