Abstract
A number of planar diplexers which intersect a beam radiated from a primary projector at respectively predetermined angles, which are separated from the projector and from each other, are provided with respectively predetermined conductor patterns. The diplexers are arranged successively in a frame together with the primary projector, whereby various radiation patterns can be formed by different combinations of a number of beams which are reflected respectively by the planar diplexers at respectively predetermined rates. As a result, a power distribution type antenna having a small and simple structure adapted for multipurpose and multifunction applications, particularly for installation on a communication satellite, based on the portability and the ease of assembling thereof, can be realized.
Claims13
A power distribution antenna comprising:
- a primary projector for radiating an electromagnetic wave in a predetermined propagation direction;
- and
- a plurality of spaced planar diplexers located in the path of said electromagnetic wave and spaced from said primary projector, a planar surface of each of said diplexers being positioned at a predetermined angle with respect to said propagation direction, each of said diplexers comprising a dielectric base and a lattice shaped metallic film deposited thereon in a predetermined pattern.
