Abstract (en)

[origin: US4260993A] A dual-band antenna for the transmission and reception of radiant energy has a Cassegrain-type reflector assembly, rotatable about an azimuth axis and pivotable about an elevational axis, to which two outgoing beams are directed in a transmitting mode by a periscopic supply system including a set of four mirrors, two of them flat and two of them concave. The lower-band beam originates at a first feed comprising a horizontally radiating horn and two confronting concave mirrors, one of these mirrors training the beam onto a slanting dichroic mirror reflecting same upward into the periscopic supply system. The higher-band beam originates at a second feed also comprising a horizontal horn which radiates onto a concave mirror reflecting the beam upward through the dichroic mirror into the periscopic supply system along a path coinciding with that of the other beam.

Abstract (fr)

Système d'alimentation périscopique permettant d'utiliser simultanément et séparemment deux gammes de fréquence sur une antenne. Le système comporte un périscope (60) à quatre miroirs, mobiles ajtour de l'axe azimut, un dispositif séparateur (30) des deux gammes de fréquence, et deux dispositifs d'excitation des gammes de fréquence basse et haute (40-50), qui conservent chacun une position fixe quels que soient les mouvements du périscope autour de l'axe azimut.
