SHARED SOURCE ANTENNA AND METHOD OF MAKING SHARED SOURCE ANTENNA FOR GENERATING MULTIPLE BEAMS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01Q1/28 H01Q19/17 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to antenna engineering. A shared source antenna for simultaneous generation of multiple of beams comprises multiple elementary sources spaced apart by a constant interval (P) and a parabolic reflector, wherein the elementary sources are combined into a number of identical subarrays, each subarray comprising a number of peripheral elementary sources and a central elementary source, wherein each subarray is designed for beam synthesis and has a single excitation source, wherein elementary sources of each subarray are connected to each other on phase through electromagnetic radiation of the central elementary source to peripheral elementary sources, and two series subarrays comprise at least one common elementary source and are offset by a distance which corresponds to a predefined number of intervals (P), which is greater than or equal to one.

EFFECT: enabling formation of a large number of narrow beams.
