CROSS-POLARIZED DUAL-FREQUENCY ANTENNA WITH THE SAME AREA COVERAGE FOR TELECOMMUNICATION SATELLITES

摘要

The antenna comprises a parabolic reflector (1) and a primary source (2). The reflector (1) comprises a first grating of conductor wires (7) and a second grating of conductor wires (8) which are orthogonal to the wires of the first grating, and with both gratings constituting elliptical reflective surfaces. The sizes of the major and minor axes of the ellipses are determined in such a manner that both operating frequencies of the antenna have identical coverge zones on the surface of the globe.
