Abstract

PURPOSE:To sufficiently suppress the lowering in the functions of both systems of a radio wave and a light wave, by forming the shape of the emitting surface side of an array antenna for a radio wave arranged in a plane form into a parabolic shape and providing a multi-layered induction layer reflecting only a light wave to the surface of the aforementioned parabolic surface. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of emitting elements 11 are arranged in a parabolic plane array in order to use the main reflective mirror of an optical system. In order to correct phase difference due to this arrangement, a phase is corrected by a current supply circuit 12 so that the phase of the radio wave emitted from an array antenna 1 comes to an equal phase on a plane vertical to the axis of the antenna. The light wave such as infrared rays emitted from a target is converted to an electric signal by a light wave detector 8 by using an optical system constituted of a multi-layered induction layer reflecting only a light wave provided to the front surface of the array antenna and an auxiliary reflective mirror. By this method, both systems of a radio wave and a light wave can be made compatible without lowering he functions thereof.

By the way, conventional transmitting/receiving devices have a configuration using a parabolic antenna or the like to perform a target detection function using radio waves, and an optical system that performs a target detection function using infrared rays is added to this. [Problems to be Solved] In the conventional transmitting/receiving device as described above, there is a problem of where to install the optical system.1 For example, the size and shape become large due to mechanical positional relationships, or conversely, the size and shape are large due to the mechanical positional relationship. Both systems have completely different frequency bands, such as the fact that the functionality of both systems is significantly reduced due to the restriction that they must be housed within the same system, and the light wave detector cannot be effectively shielded from the transmission power of radar etc. There was a problem in that there were many negative effects of having both.
