ANTENNA DEVICE, RADIO RECEPTION DEVICE, AND RADIO TRANSMISSION DEVICE

摘要

There are provided an antenna deice, a signal reception device, and a signal transmission device utilizing an antenna element having a microstrip structure and coplanar structure and using a superconductive material. The antenna device, the signal reception device, and the signal transmission device realize improvement of a directivity gain, reduction of size, and reduction of power consumption. The antenna device includes: a planar antenna element; an adiabatic vessel having a radio window for transmitting electric waves, containing the planar antenna element, and insulating heat from outside; a waveguide arranged in the adiabatic vessel between the radio window and the antenna pattern formation plane of the planar antenna element; and cooling means for cooling the planar antenna element. The waveguide has a shape and dimensions which intensify the directivity of the planar antenna element and a superconductive film is used for the antenna pattern of the planar antenna element.
