in the accompanying drawing there is shown an :antenna system comprising a paraboloid re- I .fiectorlflyan" antenna-member H, and-a reflectorv member f 2. The antenna member I' I; is ortne dipole"type-'including colinear elements [3 and f4. Thedi'poleis locatedat or-neartheiocus of the gparaboioid reflector and'the axis of thereflector i=0 passesthroughthe-dipole at-ornear themfdpoint thereof.

In the form of my invention described herein no such line balancing arrangement is employed so that the means for conducting the may be made of different lengths as shown in the drawing.
. .In-order to permit the determination of the elevation and azimuth of the object from which echoes are received, it is desirable to rotate t he displaced pattern about the axis of the paraboloid reflector. For this purpose there is provided a suitable motor 2| receiving electrical energy from a suitable source, not shown,'and carriedbythe base plate 36 attached to the paraboloid reflector in any suitable manner. The motor is operatively J connected to the outer conductor I9 through suitable gears 22 and 23 carried by the shaft of the motor and the outer conductor or tube I9 re spectively. The rotation producing meansand the transmission line H are mounted as shown at the center of the paraboloid reflector. Because of the mechanical couple resulting from the uh; balanced disposition of. the dipole, there results a tendency of the parts of the antenna assembly to whip during rotation. In order to minimize the efiects of centrifugal force, the transmission line section I! issupport'ed as close as practicable to the dipole. For this purpose there has been provided a conically shaped support 25 located at the center of the paraboloid reflector and at-. tached to the base 36 at the large end. Suitable bearing means 26 is provided 'at the small end'of the cone. If desired, "a bearing may also be providedfwhere transmissionline I1 passes through the supporting structure. At any rate,- the .itran's- In order to obtain intelligence which maybe employed to cause" the antenna system, including the paraboloid reflectorgto followthe target or', source of echo, there has been shown a two-phase alternator .28 suitably carried by the paraboloid 19,, of course, is electrically insulative.
1 able manner as by means of the threaded for securing the element I 3 to the outer conductor in such a manner as to lend support to the inner conductor and to maintain that conductor fixed with respect to the outer conductor during rotation of the apparatus thereby minimizing the effects of centrifugal force on the inner conductor and the reflecting member I2. The means connecting the elements I3 and the outer conductor In the form of my invention illustrated herein, this purposeis accomplished by providing a stud 30 having a threaded laterally extending portion 3| adapted to engage thethreads of a suitably tapped bore in the end of the arm I3. An insulating .member32 is retained at the opening in the outer member I9 between the stud 30 and the end of the arm ,l3. -,For example, the cage of the member 32 maybe suitably secured to a metal washer 32a and the outer edge of the member or washer 3211 may be engaged'bya'fla'nged member 33 having in: ternal threads engaging suitable threads in the outer surface of the washer 32a. The inner end of the stud 30 is securely fastened to the inner conductor I8"as by means of a suitably threaded fastening member 34 passing through a suitable opening in the conductor I8 into suitable threaded engagement with the bore in the stud30. The arm I3 is shown bent at the inner end thereof in, order to approach the inner. conductorat right angles thereto for convenience of assembly. With this arrangement, the stud may be fastened in p05 sition, the insulative washer applied over the lateral portion 3! of the stud 30 and the flanged member 33 fastened in place. The arm I3may thenbe screwed onto the lateral portion 3I of the stud. The reflector member I2 may be secured to the end of the inner conductor I8 in any suit ingmember 35. 1 I The above described means for supporting the antenna system and associated parts is not my in'- vention but is disclosed and claimed in 'a"co -t pending application of C. L. Rouault, application Serial No. 483,555,'filed April 19, 1943, now Patent 2,446,436, granted August 3, 1948, 'and'as-j signed to' the same assignee as the present inven tion. u '5. j A system embodying the above-principle has been constructed for operation at approximately, 40 Q megacycles. The dipole was tilted 13 with respect to a plane perpendicular to the ajxisQof the paraboloid reflector. The antenna members II and I2 were each approximately enemas-wave length long and spaced apart at their centersap-f proximately one-quarter wave length. The '-re flector element was one inch in diameter and seventeen inches long. The antenna elements-13 and I4 were also one inch in" diameter and-the longer arm I3 was seven and a half inches long neeting'the'elements I3a'nd I4 of the antenna member II tothe transmission line members I8 and I9. .The shorter member I4 may be con; nected directly to the'outer conductor I9 in any desired, fashion,v as by welding, for example; Means is provided for passingthe longer element I3 through an opening in the outer conductor I 9 intcr engagement with theinner' conductor I 8 and 2 than 2, benefit was obtained by tilting the dip leg The amount of tilt of the dipole has an impm found to be accountable for approximately 2 3, and the arrangement of the antenna membei II wasresponsible for the remaining 2. 'If the arms I3 and I4 were of equal length," 'slightly'l" s tant 'eifect on the "beam shift. Thus if -the difiol is at right angles with respect to the axis of the paraboloid reflector there is no shifting of the beam. As the tilt is increased the beam shift is increased, but inasmuch as the mechanical force tending to cause whipping of the rotating parts increases rapidly as the angle of tilt increases, there are mechanical limitations to the amount of tilting permissible.
The reflector may comprise any desired reflecting surface. However, in order to minimize wind pressures on the reflector, it is preferable to form the paraboloid reflector in the form of a mesh, as by means of wires or rods as, for example, a plurality of concentric rings connected to radially extending members as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In the above specific example the spacing between the members was approximately four inches.
While I have shown and described a particular embodiment of my invention, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from my invention in its broader aspects, and I therefore aim in the appended claims to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of my invention.
