  • Patent number: 9847572
    Abstract: A high-frequency reflector antenna (1) is provided that includes at least one main reflector (2), at least one sub-reflector (3) and at least one horn (4). The stationary elements (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8) for influencing the direction-dependent reception characteristic are present in the beam path between the main reflector (2) and the horn (4). The stationary elements (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8) may protrude into the free aperture area (6) of the horn (4). The stationary elements (5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8) are switchable dipole elements (5.1.1, 5.2.1, 5.3.1, 5.4.1, 5.5.1, 5.6.1, 5.7.1, 5.8.1) that are arranged with their dipole axis (15) in a manner to influence the reception characteristics of elliptically to circularly or linearly polarised high-frequency radiation.

  • Publication number: 20100085265
    Abstract: The invention relates to an array for influencing the radiation characteristics of a reflector antenna, particularly a centrally focused reflector antenna (1) consisting of a hollow conductor (3) with a horn (4) and a sub-reflector component (2), whereby the assembly consists of at least two immoveable triggerable radiator elements (5; 6; 7; 8), which influence the beam path between the reflector (9) and sub-reflector (10) in the operating state. The array has the advantage of providing a small-size technical solution which requires minimal mechanical and electrical efforts for reflector antennas and allows the antenna to track a satellite with high accuracy. Within certain limits, signal reception and the antenna diagram can be controlled such that reception and transmission can be simultaneous. The beam of diagram can be controlled in real time. Another advantage is that the hemisphere can be reproduced in full, i.e.
