摘要:
Folded dipole antenna elements (2, 4) are disposed generally in parallel, being spaced by a distance smaller than a half of the wavelength employed. The antenna elements (2, 4) are connected to a combiner (16) via feeders (12, 14) having different lengths. The difference in length between the feeders (12, 14) is such that received signals resulting from a radio wave coming to the antenna elements (2, 4) from the front and received by the antenna elements (12, 14) are in phase with each other at the inputs (16a, 16b) of the combiner (16), whereas received signals resulting from a radio wave coming to the antenna elements (2, 4) from the back and received by the antenna elements (12, 14) are 180° out of phase with each other at the inputs (16a, 16b) of the combiner (16).

Antennas (8a-8d) are disposed within an antenna body (2) of an antenna system in such a manner as to receive UHF band radio waves coming to the main body (2) from a plurality of first, different directions around the main body (2). Combinations of the antennas (8a-8d) makes the antenna system possible to receive UHF band radio waves coming to the main body (2) from a plurality of second, different directions between adjacent ones of the first directions. Switches (26a-26d) disposed within the main body (2) select one of outputs provided by the individual antennas (8a-8d) and their combinations. An antenna controller (64a), a unit separate from the main body (2), supplies a selection control signal to the switches (26a-26d). The antenna controller (64a) provides such a selection control signal as to successively select the direction of the radio wave to be received in the clockwise direction about the main body (2) each time a first operating element (88a) on a remote control (64b) is operated, and provides such a selection control signal as to successively select the direction of the radio wave to be received in the counterclockwise direction each time a second operating element (88b) on the remote control (64b) is operated.
摘要:
A transmission line includes transmission lines parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to a flat portion of a reflector, and the parallel transmission line and the flat portion form a first strip line and the perpendicular transmission line and a conductive plate similarly form a second strip line. Radiators and the transmission line have a radiation impedance and a characteristic impedance, respectively, both set at 150Ω when the antenna's output terminal has a reference impedance of 75Ω. If the parallel transmission line has a midpoint serving as the output terminal of the antenna this portion's receiving current is divided in two so that an impedance of half that of the strip line can be provided and a coaxial cable can directly be connected to the transmission line. A matcher or a mixer is not included in the antenna, and matching and mixing losses can be prevented.

First, second, third and fourth dipole antennas (14, 16, 18, 20) are disposed in a casing (1). The first through fourth dipole antennas are arranged in the same plane, and are disposed in line symmetry with respect to first through fourth imaginary lines (A, B, C, D) passing through the center of the casing (1) at an angle of 45 degrees between adjacent imaginary lines.

A microstrip line antenna generally used for receiving an electric wave from an artificial satellite, which comprises a plane dielectric substrate and a plurality of crank-shaped microstrip lines arranged on the substrate. The improvement comprises a number of half wavelength waveguide elements arranged on a plane lying parallel to the substrate in front of the microstrip lines at a predetermined distance therefrom for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the antenna and reducing the number of antenna elements.
摘要:
A high frequency coaxial line coupling device which is insertable along the length of a coaxial line such as that which connects a rotary antenna carried on a moving body such as vehicle or vessel to receive a signal from a communication or broadcast satellite, with a receiver component such as tuner fixed to the moving body, for the purpose of allowing free relative rotation of the two segments of the coaxial line separated by the coupling device and preventing twist or entanglement of the coaxial line caused by rotation of the antenna with turning movement of the moving body. The device structure provides for a low transmission loss characteristic over a wide frequency range.

摘要:
A multiple frequency band antenna includes a dipole antenna (4a), which is formed of two dipole antenna elements (8a, 10a). Two extension elements (24a, 26a) extend outward from respective ones of opposed outer ends of the dipole antenna (4a). The length of the dipole antenna (4a) is determined to make the multiple frequency band antenna capable of receiving radio waves in the UHF band, and the sum of the lengths of the dipole antenna (4a) and the extension elements (24a, 26a) is determined to make the multiple frequency band antenna capable of receiving radio waves in the VHF band. PIN diodes (28a, 34a) are connected between the respective extension elements (24a, 26a) and the respective outer ends of the dipole antenna (4a). When a radio wave in the UHF band is to be received, a control unit (180) places the diodes (28a, 34a) selectively in a state in which both are opened, a state in which one of the diodes (28a) is closed while the other (34a) is opened, and a state in which the one diode (28a) is opened while the other (34a) is closed.
