Abstract
An antenna device provided with a single reflecting mirror having multiple focal points, and multiple primary radiators provided at respective positions of the multiple focal points.
Claims4
An antenna device comprising:
- a reflecting mirror having multiple focal points which are located on a single straight line in a perpendicular direction to a central axis of the reflecting mirror;
- and
- multiple primary radiators provided at respective positions of the multiple focal points,
- wherein the reflecting mirror comprises:
- a first parabolic mirror having a first focal point;
- a second parabolic mirror having a second focal point;
- and
- a metal member provided between the first parabolic mirror and the second parabolic mirror,
- wherein the respective positions of the first focal point and the second focal point are aligned with positions of the multiple primary radiators that are adjacent to each other in the perpendicular direction.

A method for designing an antenna device,
- wherein the antenna device includes a reflecting mirror having multiple focal points which are located on a single straight line in a perpendicular direction to a central axis of the reflecting mirror, and multiple primary radiators provided at respective positions of the multiple focal points,
- wherein the reflecting mirror includes:
- a first parabolic mirror having a first focal point;
- a second parabolic mirror having a second focal point;
- and
- a metal member provided between the first parabolic mirror and the second parabolic mirror,
- wherein the method comprises:
- installing, at prescribed positions that are adjacent to each other in the perpendicular direction, a first primary radiator and a second primary radiator of the multiple primary radiators that can radiate electromagnetic waves towards the reflecting mirror;
- and
- configuring a mirror surface of the reflecting mirror so as to have the first focal point and the second focal point, the first focal point being aligned with an installation position of the first primary radiator, and the second focal point being aligned with an installation position of the second primary radiator.
