  • Publication number: 20230155297
    Abstract: An antenna comprises a main reflector, a waveguide, wherein at least part of the waveguide protrudes towards a region external to the antenna, wherein the antenna is operative to transmit electromagnetic radiations between the waveguide and the main reflector, a mechanism which enables displacement of at least part of the waveguide with respect to the main reflector, and an actuator operative to displace the at least part of the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 10897084
    Abstract: A feed for a dual-band antenna, comprising: a first waveguide for low frequency electromagnetic radiations, a second dielectric waveguide for high frequency electromagnetic radiations, an end connected to a low band port configured to pass said low frequency electromagnetic radiations, and a high band port configured to pass said high frequency electromagnetic radiations, wherein the first waveguide comprises a first longitudinal section and a second longitudinal section, wherein a minimal distance between an internal surface of walls of the first section and an external surface of walls of the second dielectric waveguide is D11 along a lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and wherein a maximal distance between an internal surface of at least one first wall of the second section and an external surface of a wall of the second dielectric waveguide facing said first wall is D12 along said lateral direction, wherein D12<D11.

  • Patent number: 10205213
    Abstract: An antenna array configuration is provided with h-plane splitters between ends of a feeding network and radiating elements e.g. horns, thereby to reduce the distance between the centers of the horns to less than one wavelength which results in a better side lobe level. A method of manufacturing upper and lower plates together constituting an antenna is also provided, typically making each plate in a single operation, by dividing the feeding network's waveguides at the center where there are no cross currents so as not to disturb propagation in the feeding network. The radiating elements, h-plane splitters and upper half of the feeding network may be fabricated in one plate without undercuts hence simplifying manufacture of the plate which may for example be formed using a simple molding machine or a 3 axis-CNC machine.
