Abstract: An antenna for communicating with a remote communication system. The antenna comprises main and sub reflectors, a beam shaping element facing the sub reflector and having a plurality of feeding points, a plurality of ortho-mode transducers (OMTs), and a plurality of waveguides each having a proximal end connected to another of the plurality of OMTs and a distal end connected to one of the plurality of feeding points. The beam shaping element is sized and shaped to form an ellipsoidal beam creating a first elliptical spot on the sub reflector by combining a plurality of polarized intermediate transmission signals; each of the polarized intermediate transmission signals is originated from another of the plurality of OMTs.
Abstract: An antenna for communicating with a satellite from a moving vehicle. The antenna comprises a transmitter for generating a transmission signal, main and sub reflectors, and a waveguide associated with the transmitter for conducting the transmission signal toward the sub reflector. The sub reflector is configured for redirecting the transmission signal toward the main reflector; the main reflector is configured for projecting the redirected transmission signal as an antenna beam toward the satellite.
