  • Patent number: 6049312
    Abstract: An antenna system having a front reflector and a rear reflector arranged in tandem, a front feed for illuminating the front reflector, and a rear feed for illuminating the rear reflector. Each of the reflectors has a generally dish-shaped configuration, and the feeds are located in positions offset from axes of the respective reflectors. The front reflector is reflective to a first radiation, while being substantially transparent to a second radiation except for a fraction of the power of the second radiation. The fractional part of the second radiation is reflected from the first reflector as an interfering beam, the interfering beam being scanned away from a coverage region of a beam of the first radiation by an offset between the feeds. The radiations may differ in polarization or in frequency.
