69 results about "Reflective array antenna" patented technology

In telecommunications and radar, a reflective array antenna is a class of directive antennas in which multiple driven elements are mounted in front of a flat surface designed to reflect the radio waves in a desired direction. They are a type of array antenna. They are often used in the VHF and UHF frequency bands. VHF examples are generally large and resemble a highway billboard, so they are sometimes called billboard antennas, or in Britain hoarding antennas. Other names are bedspring array and bowtie array depending on the type of elements making up the antenna. The curtain array is a larger version used by shortwave radio broadcasting stations.

Low-profile dual-circularly polarized wave beam scanning folding reflection array antenna

The invention discloses a low-profile dual-circularly polarized wave beam scanning folding reflection array antenna. The low-profile dual-circularly polarized wave beam scanning folding reflective array antenna comprises a lower reflective array antenna and an upper circularly polarized selection metasurface. A circular polarization plane feed source is integrated in the middle of the reflective array antenna, and beam deflection is achieved. The circular polarization selection metasurface introduces opposite phase gradients to a left-hand circular polarization wave beam and a right-hand circular polarization wave beam through spin decoupling, and then introduces opposite wave beam deflection angles. Meanwhile, due to the polarization selection function of the circular polarization selection metasurface, the profile height of the antenna is half of the focal length of a traditional reflective array. By rotating the lower-layer reflective array antenna and the upper-layer circular polarization selection metasurface, the antenna can realize simultaneous + / -42-degree pitch angle scanning and 360-degree azimuth angle scanning of left-hand circular polarization and right-hand circular polarization dual beams, and the aperture efficiency, the axial ratio, the scanning loss and other performances are good. The low-profile dual-circularly-polarized wave beam scanning folding reflection array antenna provided by the invention can realize simultaneous scanning of two circularly-polarized wave beams, and is low in profile, compact in structure, low in cost and novel in function.
