    摘要: According to an aspect, a satellite antenna reflector includes a first surface area encompassing a first surface, where the first surface is formed to reflect a first radiated signal towards a first focal point. The reflector also includes a second surface area, encompassing a second surface, where the second surface area is formed to reflect a second radiated signal towards a second focal point. The first and second surfaces reflect the first and second radiated signals such that a first antenna gain and/or beamwidth of the reflected first radiated signal that would be received at the first focal point is the same as a second antenna gain and/or beamwidth of the reflected second radiated signal that would be received at the second focal point.

    摘要: Antennas and multiplexer structures are provided for establishing individual communication links with satellites that are located at geostationary positions in close angular proximity to one another. The antenna includes individual wave-guides where at least one of the wave-guides has a decreased dimension such that the wave-guides may be spaced in close proximity to each other to communicate with the satellites. For example, in one embodiment, the antenna includes at least one wave-guide that is a hollow metallic structure filled with a dielectric material. The dimensions of this wave-guide can be altered by changing the dielectric material used to fill the wave-guide. By using a dielectric material having an appropriate dielectric constant, the dimension of the wave-guide can be configured to allow the wave-guide to be spaced in close proximity to the other wave-guide.

    摘要: The present invention provides various wave-guides and support structures that are used in conjunction with feed structures to form compact antennas. Specifically, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a wave-guide design used for connecting the feed of an antenna to various electronics, such as a transmitter or receiver. The wave-guide of this embodiment includes a first end for connecting to the feed and a second end for connection to either a transmitter, receiver, or other electronic components. Importantly, the body of the wave-guide extends in a direction towards the reflector of the antenna so that the second end of the wave-guide is positioned closer to the reflector than the first end of the wave-guide. As such, the transmitter or receiver that is connected to the second end of the wave-guide is located in close relationship with the reflector, thereby creating a compact, aesthetically pleasing antenna structure.

    摘要: The present invention provides a feed horn for use in an antenna assembly having a non-circular reflector. The feed horn is capable of transmitting and receiving circularly polarized signals. The feed horn includes a circular waveguide section for connection to a transmitter and receiver of the antenna assembly. A conical waveguide section is connected to an opposed end of the circular waveguide section for creating a smooth transition from the circular waveguide section to a non-circular corrugated waveguide section. The corrugated waveguide section includes a plurality of corrugations that transition for a circular shape adjacent to the conical waveguide section to an increasing non-circular shape at an end proximal to the reflector of the antenna assembly. The corrugations have individuals depths defined in the inner wall of the corrugated waveguide section. These depths compensate circularly polarized signals propagating in the feed horn for distortions due to the non-circular reflector.

    摘要: The present invention provides antenna feed assemblies that allow the common waveguide portion of an antenna feed assembly to be rotated independent of a fixed communication waveguide. When rotated, the ports of the common waveguide are altered in terms of polarization with respect to signals propagating in the common waveguide, while the predetermined polarization between the ports remains the same. A rotatable coupling between the common waveguide and the fixed communication waveguide allows for communication of signals between the two waveguides, even though their ports are rotated with respect to each other. As such, the polarization of the waveguides associated with the antenna may be reconfigured, even though one of the waveguides remains at a fixed position.
