  • Patent number: 6445351
    Abstract: The invention provides a combined optical sensor and communications antenna system (10). The system includes a primary reflector (12) for reflecting radiation. The primary reflector includes a centrally located core (14), which is adapted to transmit the radiation therethrough. An axis (18) centrally extending through the core forms an optical axis of the system. The system further includes a secondary reflector (16) positioned along the optical axis of the system for rereflecting and focusing the radiation reflected from the primary reflector toward the core of the primary reflector. The system still further includes a beam splitter (20) positioned adjacent the primary reflector on the opposite side from the secondary reflector, for separating and redirecting the radiation rereflected from the secondary reflector into an optical radiation component and a radiofrequency radiation component.
