[0037] With reference to the accompanying drawings, Figures 1-8 The Ku dual-frequency Cassegrain antenna provided by the present application comprises a reflection assembly 1, an antenna support assembly 4, a radiation assembly 3 and a swing assembly 2. The reflection assembly 1 comprises a main reflector 101 and a sub-reflector 102. The swing assembly 2 comprises a support arm 201, a swing arm 203 and a swing motor 202.

The swing motor 202 provides power for the swing of the swing arm 203, so as to drive the swing arm 203 to swing in a circular arc with the first end of the swing arm 203 as the center. The antenna support assembly 4 is fixedly installed on the ground. The antenna support assembly 4 is connected with the main reflector 101 and the swing arm 203, respectively.

[0058] In the embodiment, when the elevation angle of the reflecting assembly 1 needs to be increased, the hydraulic cylinder 601 works to provide hydraulic power, and the hydraulic arm 602 transmits the power of the hydraulic cylinder 601. At this time, the hydraulic arm 602 extends out to lift the reflecting assembly 1, and the angle between the reflecting assembly 1 and the ground is increased.

At this time, the sub-reflector 102 is moved up and down by driving the swing arm 203 through the swing motor 202. When the swing control unit controls the swing motor 202 to rotate forward, the swing arm 203 gradually rises under the action of the swing motor 202. When the focal axis of the sub-reflector 102 on the swing arm 203 coincides with the focal axis on the main reflector, the swing control unit controls the swing motor 202 to stop working. When the sub-reflector 102 needs to be detected, the swing control unit controls the swing motor 202 to rotate reversely. At this time, the swing arm 203 gradually descends under the action of the swing motor 202, and the sub-reflector 102 fixed on the swing arm 203 also gradually descends. When the swing motor 202 stops working when descending close to the ground, the ground support 404 is placed on the ground, and then the first support 401 is vertically fixed and installed on the ground support 404. The two ends of the auxiliary support 403 are fixed on the first support 401 and the ground support 404, respectively, so that the auxiliary support 403 is an equilateral triangle when viewed from the antenna support assembly 4. A cylindrical boss cooperating with the swing column 103 is arranged on the second end of the second support 402. When the second support 402 needs to be controlled to rotate, the rotation control unit works to control the rotation motor 5 to rotate forward or reversely. At this time, the second support 402 rotates forward or reversely under the action of the rotation motor 5. When the second support 402 rotates to the required direction, the rotation motor 5 stops working, and the second support 402 stops rotating. When the elevation angle of the reflecting assembly 1 needs to be increased, the hydraulic cylinder 601 works to provide hydraulic power, and the hydraulic arm 602 transmits the power of the hydraulic cylinder 601. At this time, the hydraulic arm 602 extends to lift the reflecting assembly 1. At this time, the angle between the reflecting assembly 1 and the ground is increased. When the elevation angle of the reflecting assembly 1 needs to be reduced, the hydraulic cylinder 601 removes the power. At this time, the hydraulic arm 602 gradually extends into the hydraulic cylinder 601. At this time, the reflecting assembly 1 gradually descends, and the angle between the reflecting assembly 1 and the ground is reduced.
