Abstract (en)

In order to provide a reflector antenna apparatus which can be installed within a small space, which has adequate practicality, and which can perform scanning by pivoting about two axes which are perpendicular to each other, in a reflector antenna apparatus having a Cassegrain reflector and a rotating mechanism which rotates the reflector about an azimuth axis and an elevation axis, a reflector with a substantially rectangular aperture has its elevation axis passing through substantially the central portion of the height dimension of the reflector, and reflector surface adjustment is carried out such that substantially all of the electromagnetic waves which are supplied are received and reflected, whereby the antenna height does not become large when the reflector rotates about the elevation axis. The reflector may be an array of a plurality of reflector elements. <IMAGE>
