TRAVELING-WAVE RECEIVING ANTENNA Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: radio engineering; antennas for stationary radio centers. SUBSTANCE: antenna has array of dipoles 1 connected to collecting lens 3 loaded into matched resistor. Dipoles are bent through angle 2α in horizontal, vertical, or inclined planes. Additional conductors 6 are arranged symmetrically relative to axis of collecting lens 3 in surface of cylinder with base radius r. Some ends of conductor 6 are connected through auxiliary resistor to center tap of matched resistor and other ones, to asymmetric input of decoupler 5. Collecting lens 3 is connected to symmetric input of decoupler 5 and feeders 8,9, to its outputs. Adequate choice of dimensions of antenna parts ensures equal parameters along orthogonal components of electromagnetic wave being received. EFFECT: provision for coupled reception with respect to polarization and reduced size of antenna parts. 4 cl, 4 dwg
