ANTENNA SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: antenna equipment, radio communication systems, reception of signals of satellite television. SUBSTANCE: antenna system includes dielectric radiators and feeder unit coming in the form of N elements of same type which have one or several waveguide arms, main and additional power distribution units. Dielectric radiators are so mounted on rectilinear sections of waveguide arms that their axes are placed perpendicularly to longitudinal axis of arm. In this case rectilinear sections of main and additional arms are located in parallel one another at distance multiple of λ/2, λ being length of wave in free space. Outputs of main and additional arms are connected via corresponding additional power distribution units to main power distribution unit whose output is connected to common feeder. Each dielectric radiator includes aid for connection to waveguide manufactured in the form of metal plate and current-conducting pins are installed on longitudinal axis of waveguide arms in accordance with number of radiators. EFFECT: increased efficiency and amplification factor of antenna system. 3 cl, 3 dwg
