摘要： A local television antenna system for use with a satellite television system includes an omnidirectional antenna, a support structure for mounting the omnidirectional antenna to a satellite television dish support, and receiving circuitry mounted to the omnidirectional antenna. The omnidirectional antenna includes an antenna plate, having electrical circuit paths formed thereon, and first and second antennas having curled ends. The support structure includes a integrally-molded double clamp for providing a mechanically strong coupling to the satellite television dish support and first and second brackets for mounting to the omnidirectional antenna to provide a mechanically strong coupling. The receiving circuitry is shielded to limit interference and includes filter and amplification circuitry and one or more diplexers for combining a received local television signal with a received satellite television signal.

摘要： An improved dual gridded reflector antenna configuration which allows cross-polarization radiation to be scanned in any given direction. The dual-gridded reflector assembly includes a front parabolic reflector illuminated by a first source, and a second parabolic reflector illuminated by a second source. The second reflector is positioned adjacent to and behind the front reflector such that the center points of the reflectors align to define a center axis. Additionally, the first and second sources are positioned at different offsets with respect to the reflectors and have a respective rotated offset angle with respect to the center axis such that the sources define an antenna feed separation. By modifying the offsets and the rotated offset angles, the feed separation can be designed to have an inclination with respect to the north-south or east-west feed separation direction.

摘要： A micromachined reflector antenna system is integrated onto a substrate by firstly etching a reflector aperture surface defining a dish cavity in an oxide layer and secondly rotating a hinge over the reflector aperture surface with the hinge being used as the reflector central feed. The micromachined reflector antenna system can be made with an array of reflector antennas and integrated onto a single substrate with front end receiver circuits operating as a high frequency receiver on a chip with reduced size and cost and operating at hundreds of GHz.

摘要： A receiving antenna includes a parabolic reflector and a feed horn. The feed horn includes an electrically conductive wall with an edge forming an aperture. The feed horn further includes a plurality of electrical conductors that extend from the edge to the center of the feed horn in a substantially coplanar relationship with the aperture. Each of the electrical conductors differentially affect a first polarized electrical field perpendicular to the edge adjacent the electrical conductor and a second polarized electrical field parallel to the edge adjacent the electrical conductor. In this manner, the electrical conductors can be configured to reduce the effective aperture of the feed horn in a plane, so that a first polarized horn radiation pattern produced by the feed horn can be circularized. The electrical conductors with respect to a vertical plane preferably match the electrical conductors with respect to a horizontal plane, so that first and second polarized horn radiation patterns produced by the feed horn can be simultaneously circularized. Another receiving antenna includes a splash plate and a feed horn that respectively include opposing edges that form an annular aperture. The feed horn further includes a plurality of electrical conductors that extend from the feed horn edge towards the splash plate edge in a coplanar relationship with the aperture. Again, the electrical conductors can be configured to reduce the effective width of the annular aperture in a plane, so that a first polarized horn radiation pattern produced by the feed horn can be circularized, while at the same time a second polarized horn radiation pattern produced by the feed horn can be circularized.

摘要： An excitation system is indicated for an antenna with a parabolic reflector (1) and a dielectric radiator (3) which is attached to the end of a hollow conductor used to guide electromagnetic waves, and is located in the center of the reflector (1) and has a metallized end face designed as a subreflector. The reflector (1) is designed as a rectangular strip forming a sector antenna which has a parabolic curve in the direction of its long axis (A). The end face of the radiator (3) has four partial faces (8, 9, 10, 11) which form pairs and are arranged with respect to the central axis of the hollow waveguide (2) so that each pair of partial faces extends approximately at a right angle to the other pair of partial faces, the partial faces of each pair being of equal size. The two partial faces (8, 9) extending in the direction of the long axis of reflector (1) are large in relation to the two partial faces (10, 11) extending crosswise thereto.

摘要： An adapter for facilitating the portability of satellite antennas includes a first side adapted for attachment to a satellite base and a second side adapted to releasably engaging a base unit. A plurality of base units are typically attached to desired locations for the satellite antenna, such as a home, recreational vehicle, cabin or boat. By simply releasing the adapter from the base unit, the satellite antenna may be conveniently moved to another desired location. To further facilitate transport, the receiver arm of the satellite antenna can be modified to readily fold inwardly with the release of a pin.

摘要： A parabolic antenna provided with a reflector and an arm comprises a housing fixed to a free end of the arm, a case enclosing a low noise blockdown converter ("LNB"), a feed horn protruding from a front side of the LNB case and a driving and a driven gears for adjusting an elevation angle of the feed horn. The LNB case has a pair of hinge pins. The housing has a pair of supporting members which are spaced from each other and provided with a pair of apertures into which the hinge pins of the LNB case are snugly fitted, respectively. The driven gear is engaged on one of the hinge pins of the LNB case and the driving gear is engaged on an input shaft. The input shaft rotatably passes through one of the supporting members, the driving gear and the driven gear being meshed with each other and, in turn, rotated with the input shaft, thereby allowing the elevation angle of the feed horn can be adjusted by rotating the input shaft.

摘要： In a polarization angle adjusting mechanism for an antenna apparatus constructed of a supporting base and a transmitter/receiver apparatus equipped with a primary antenna at a right end portion thereof formed in an integral form, the primary antenna being located at a focal portion of an antenna, the supporting base has a cylindrical bearing for receiving a rotation shaft of the transmitter/receiver apparatus at a left end portion thereof, and also a plurality of subdivided projections are provided on this shaft receiving plane along a circumferential direction. On the other hand, projections and grooves fitted to a plurality of projections provided on the supporting base, which can be inserted among these plural grooves, are provided in the circumferential surface of the rotation shaft of the transmitter/receiver apparatus. The rotation shaft is inserted into the supporting base and the transmitter/receiver apparatus is rotated, so that the projections are fitted to the grooves so as to mount the transmitter/receiver apparatus to the supporting base. Similarly, another supporting base is mounted on the right end portion of the transmitter/receiver apparatus. In this manner, the transmitter/receiver apparatus is rotated to thereby adjust the polarization angle.
