Abstract

1,182,724. Aerials. HOLLANDSE SIGNAALAPPARATEN N.V. 15 March, 1968 [22 March, 1967], No. 12725/68. Heading H4A. An aerial system comprises a reflector 1, Fig. 1, of paraboloidal shape and having different dimensions of width and height. A first aerial is provided by means of a feed horn 2, arranged at the focus of the paraboloid, which is supported by rods 3, 4 extending from the reflector 1. A second aerial is provided by means of a plurality of radiating elements 7, which are supported by the reflector 1 and whose projections upon a plane perpendicular to the axis of the said reflector are equi-spaced. The elements 7 are connected by transmission lines on the rear side of the reflector 1 so that a plane wave front of uniform phase is obtained. An element 7 may be a sheet aluminium half-wave vertical unipole 8, Fig. 3, having a matching stub extending below a metal pin 9, by means of which it is supported by the reflector 1 and is connected to the central conductor of a tri-plate strip line 14. A tubular insulating piece 10 receives the pin 9, and fits in a distance piece 11 which is clamped to the reflector 1. The tri-plate strip line is formed on the surfaces of two insulating plates (17), (18), Figs. 4A, 4B (not shown) and is bolted to the back of the distance piece 11. An arrangement is described in which the radiating elements of the second aerial are connected together to form two groups, one to the right of the feed horn of the first aerial, and the other to the left thereof. The two groups are respectively connected to first and second input ports of a hybrid ring which provides from its sum output pert a single radiation lobe with a maximum along the axis of the reflector, and which provides from its difference output port two radiation lobes having a mutual minimum along the said axis (Figs. 5A, 5B, 6, not shown). With the arrangement of Fig. 1, radiation from the first aerial is horizontally polarized, and that from the second aerial is vertically polarised. Another kind of radiating element may be used in the second aerial, for example, slots or dielectric rods, and radiation therefrom may be circularly polarized. The two aerials may be operated at different frequencies.
