DISMOUNTABLE AND AIR-TRANSPORTABLE ANTENNA FOR TWO-WAY TELECOMMUNICATIONS WITH A SATELLITE

摘要

The antenna is preferably of the offset type and comprises plural thin and separable parabolic elements jointed into a parabolic reflector, and several substantially rectangular separable panels assembled into a prismatic lattice frame for supporting the reflector. The panels are substantially perpendicular to the lower base of the lattice and have curved upper edges formed in a duplicate mould according to the reflector and separable from the reflector elements. The antenna also comprises a telescopic elevation angle lifting mast and a circular aximuth positioner, both jointed to the frame and dismountable. The dismounted antenna is transportable in the form of standardized packages in the hold of long-distance airliner.
