  • Patent number: 4342035
    Abstract: A reflector antenna comprising a reflector system, and a feed system, for instance a log-periodic feed system, the phase center of which moves with frequency, for illuminating the reflector system to produce a substantially focussed antenna beam. To compensate for frequency variations in the position of the phase-center of the feed system, the reflector system includes a frequency dependent reflector the effective surface of reflection of which varies with frequency to cause the focus of the reflector system to move with the phase-center of the feed system. A number of different forms of suitable frequency dependent reflectors are described, employing composite arrangements frequency selective mesh or grid reflector elements, or arrays of reflecting horns or wedges.
