Abstract: A slotted leaky waveguide array antenna comprises a flat, thin bottom plate made of a metallic material; a flat, thin slotted plate made of a metallic material, and disposed parallel with the bottom plate at a predetermined distance from the bottom plate to form a space between the slotted plate and the bottom plate, the slotted plate being formed with a plurality of slots arranged in substantially parallel rows extending in a predetermined guide axial direction; a plurality of flat, thin side walls made of a metallic material and arranged in the space so as to partition the space between the bottom plate and the slotted plate into a plurality of waveguides communicating with each other and including radiation waveguides extending in parallel in the guide axial direction, a lower surface of each of the side walls being fixed to the bottom plate and an upper surface thereof being fixed to the slotted plate; and an electrically conductive adhesive agent layer between the upper surface of each of the side walls

Abstract: An antenna housing functions as a radome for a satellite antenna device for mounting on a moving body. The housing includes a lower portion on which the antenna device, having an antenna body and an automatic tracking mechanism, is fixedly mounted and an upper portion releasably connected to the lower portion in a watertight manner. The upper portion is made of a dielectric material and composed of a single layer of a resin having a relative dielectric constant of no more than 2. The upper portion is spaced from a surface of the antenna body by a distance except for values close to an integral multiple of a half-wave length.

Abstract: A slotted leaky waveguide array antenna of a one-axis tracking type wherein a feed section including a feed probe is kept in a stationary state to thereby keep a converter in a stationary state and a desired beam width is set in a tilt direction, includes a plurality of radiation waveguides arranged adjacent and parallel to each other, each of which has a plurality of slots arranged in a waveguide axial direction, and a feed waveguide for distributing to the respective radiation waveguides electromagnetic waves received through a feed section from a converter, and the antenna rotates in a substantially horizontal plane to track an azimuth direction, wherein the feed waveguide has a first section extended along one ends of the radiation waveguides and a second section extended from the feed section provided in the rotary center of the slotted leaky waveguide array antenna to the center of the first section, and wherein the radiation waveguides are formed with crossed slots having an identical offset, and the n

Abstract: This plane array antenna for receiving satellite broadcasts is an optimal combination of the plane array antenna main body having a tilt angle, a converter connected with the antenna main body through the power supply portion, and the rotation mechanism for rotating the antenna main body within almost a horizontal plane for tracking the azimuthal angle direction. The plane array antenna main body has the power supply portion formed at the center of the rotation and the converter includes a dielectric substrate having a microstrip channel formed on the substrate and a casing accommodating the substrate. The converter is fixed downwardly of the antenna main body and supports the antenna main body. The power supply portion includes the power supply probe with an insulation covering, and has its front end portion inserted into a space formed with the antenna body, a central portion extending through the casing of the converter, and the lowest end portion combined with the microstrip channel.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus applicable to a multi-media copying machine with which multiple different recording media are usable includes a scanner for reading a document image and converting it into an electrical image signal, a floppy disk drive, an MPU and other controllers, and a printer for printing out an image on paper. The apparatus has not only a document-to-paper copying function but also a document-to-disk copying function and a disk-to-paper copying function.
