  • Patent number: 4360815
    Abstract: The present invention provides a bifocal reflector antenna with no aberration and a configuration process thereof wherein the two-dimensional Ray Lattice Method is extended to the three-dimensional method. By setting the central section curve of a subreflector or main reflector as an initial condition, the surface curves of the sub- and main reflectors are determined so that a ray from the focus to the antenna aperture can satisfy the reflection law and path length condition. The aberration over the antenna aperture is perfectly eliminated by using the new method.

  • Patent number: 4062018
    Abstract: An aperture antenna comprising at least one reflector, a primary radiator, and a plurality of movable beam-wave-guide reflectors arranged between the reflector and the primary radiator for directing electric waves from the primary radiator towards the reflector, in which at least one of the movable beam-waveguide reflectors is controlled to displace a feeding point to the reflector, and in which wavefront defocusing distortion of a radiated electric wave resulting from the displacement of the feeding point is corrected by moving at least one of the remaining movable waveguide reflectors.

  • Patent number: 4044361
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus comprising a primary radiator having an axially symmetric field pattern, and a main reflector and a subreflector coupled to the primary radiator through a beam wave-guide path. The antenna rotating axis is aligned with the axis of the primary radiator but a little deviated from the polar axis or the earth. At least one movable beam waveguide reflector or electromagnetic lens is provided in a radio wave path between the primary radiator and the subreflector. The antenna rotating axis is adapted to be rotatable only within a small angular range. The beam wave-guide reflector or electromagnetic lens is moved to thereby deflect the antenna beam.
