Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005034288A1] The invention relates to a device (100) and a method for emitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation. The aim of the invention is to improve corresponding generic devices and methods so that the angle ( THETA ) of the ray beams of the device (100) in elevation (E) can be adjusted in a simple and economical manner. For this purpose, the phase shift ( DELTA <) between the electromagnetic radiation emitted and/or received by various antenna elements (32, 34, 36, 38) or the angle ( THETA ) of emission and/or receipt of the electromagnetic radiation in elevation (E) is adjusted by variation of the effective permittivity ( epsilon eff), especially the spreading coefficient, of the line (20) and/or by arranging at least one element (50, 52, 54) that consists at least partially of a conductive material, especially at least partially of a metal, at a variable distance to the line (20) and/or to the antenna elements (32, 34, 36, 38).
