Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Reflektor mit geformter Oberfläche für elektromagnetische Wellen, wobei eine lokale Formgebung des Reflektors (1) derart ausgelegt wird, daß der Reflektor (1) mehrere, räumlich getrennte Foki (10a, 10b, 110a, 110b) aufweist. Es können dadurch von räumlich getrennten Strahlern (4a, 4b, 40a, 40b) ausgehende elektromagnetische Strahlbündel (5a, 5b, 50a, 50b), insbesondere solche verschiedener Frequenz oder Frequenzbänder, die den Reflektor (1) ausleuchten, auf ein gemeinsames Ausleuchtgebiet (3, 3a, 3b) gerichtet werden.

The invention relates to a reflector with a shaped surface for electromagnetic waves, a local shape of the reflector (1) being designed such that the reflector (1) has a plurality of spatially separated foci (10a, 10b, 110a, 110b). As a result, electromagnetic beams (5a, 5b, 50a, 50b) emanating from spatially separated emitters (4a, 4b, 40a, 40b), in particular those of different frequencies or frequency bands, which illuminate the reflector (1), can be directed to a common illumination area (3 , 3a, 3b) are directed.
