Abstract: An antenna system comprises a reflector subsystem, a rotatable support structure and a support member. The reflector subsystem receives an input beam and reflects the input beam to produce an output beam steered in elevation by an elevation reflector and in azimuth by an azimuth reflector, towards a target. The rotatable support structure is operably coupled to the azimuth reflector and to the elevation reflector and is configured to rotate them simultaneously. The support member comprises a lengthwise portion coupled to the rotatable support structure and an offset portion coupled to the elevation reflector, the offset portion configured to offset the elevation reflector from the lengthwise portion. The offset portion is configured to enable clearance of the elevation reflector during beam steering of the output beam to extreme ends of a range of motion of the elevation reflector.

Abstract: A reflector antenna system includes: a concave primary reflector, the concave primary reflector adapted to be illuminated by a sub-reflector and radiate accordingly an axisymmetric beam; a coherent-phase sub-reflector disposed one in front of the primary reflector; and a feed adapted to operate with the TE01 axisymmetric mode and illuminating the said sub-reflector by employment of such. the aperture of the feed disposed to crowd the sub-reflector.

Abstract: A twistarray reflector includes: a reflector having front reflecting surface comprising wires and a back reflecting surface, the front reflecting surface fabricated from the wires and composites where the wires are placed having an orientation at each point on the front surface to decompose an incident field into orthogonal components so that an electromagnetic reflected from the front surface when superposed with a phase-inverted electromagnetic field reflected from the back reflecting surface produces a net reflected electromagnetic field that is polarized in a specific vector direction with consistent phase.

Abstract: A power combiner for combining a plurality of radio frequency signals into a combined output signal includes: a circular waveguide having a cross-section and three or more waveguides, each waveguide morphing to align with a common axis at a cross-section of the circular waveguide wherein each one of the three or more rectangular input waveguides gradually transitions from a rectangular cross-section to a cross-section resembling a pie slice of a composite circular cross section.

Abstract: A duo-quad wideband wave guide combiner includes a circular waveguide having a center axis with a cross section with four quadrants; and two waveguides, each waveguide being bifurcated at an input to the wave guide combiner by a thin septum to split each of the two waveguide into two bifurcated waveguides, each of the bifurcated waveguides rotating to a respective one of the four quadrants about the center axis of the circular waveguide with converging walls terminating when a composite cross section becomes circular.
