Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for transmitting radio-frequency signals using a signal generation unit (2), a signal line (3), a radiating element (4) and a waveguide (5) which is terminated in an end region by a back wall (6), where the signal generation unit (2) generates the radio-frequency signals, where the signal line (3) routes the radio-frequency signals to the radiating element (4), and where the radiating element (4) projects into the waveguide (5). The object is achieved by virtue of the radiating element (4) being arranged at an angle to the back wall (6) of the waveguide (5) or to a plane of the waveguide (5) which is parallel to the back wall (6).
Claims18
An apparatus for transmitting radio-frequency signals, comprising:
- a signal generating unit;
- a radiating element;
- a signal line connecting said signal generation unit to said radiating element;
