Abstract: An antenna for the transmission and/or reception of microwave signals comprises a substrate plate, at least one feeder line located on a first face of the substrate plate and a conductive deposit located on a second face of the substrate plate. The conductive deposit defines a main surface forming a ground plane for the feeder line and at least one radiating finger. The radiating finger has a first end connected to the main surface and a free end extending at least partially along one side of the main surface to form a longitudinal space between the radiating finger and the main surface. The longitudinal space forms a coupling slot for the antenna.

Abstract: The antenna is preferably of the offset type and comprises plural thin and separable parabolic elements jointed into a parabolic reflector, and several substantially rectangular separable panels assembled into a prismatic lattice frame for supporting the reflector. The panels are substantially perpendicular to the lower base of the lattice and have curved upper edges formed in a duplicate mould according to the reflector and separable from the reflector elements. The antenna also comprises a telescopic elevation angle lifting mast and a circular aximuth positioner, both jointed to the frame and dismountable. The dismounted antenna is transportable in the form of standardized packages in the hold of long-distance airliner.
