Abstract
An antenna reflector provided with a plurality of segments, each of the segments provided with a plurality of end faces positioned along surfaces of the segments. The end faces of adjacent segments arranged in lateral and radial pairs, the lateral and radial pairs coupled together. At least one of the end faces of the radial pairs and of the lateral pairs extending proud of the respective surfaces, whereby when the radial pairs and the lateral pairs are connected, the adjacent segments contact one another only via the radial and lateral pairs.
Claims20
An antenna reflector, comprising:
- a central segment with a peripheral surface and a plurality of intermediate segments;
- each of the intermediate segments having an outer surface, an inner surface and two side surfaces;
- the peripheral surface provided with a plurality of bodies;
- a separate end face coupled to each body;
- the inner surfaces and the side surfaces each provided with at least one body;
- a separate end face coupled to each body;
- the end faces of the peripheral surface and the end faces of the inner surfaces aligned in radial pairs and the end faces of the adjacent side surfaces aligned in lateral pairs;
- the end faces of the radial pairs configured for releasable connection to each other and the end faces of the lateral pairs configured for releasable connection to each other;
- at least one of the end faces of the radial pairs and of the lateral pairs extending proud of the respective peripheral surface, inner surfaces or side surfaces,
- whereby when the radial pairs and the lateral pairs are connected, the peripheral surface does not touch the inner surfaces and the adjacent side surfaces do not touch each other.
