Abstract (en)

A new receiving antenna for satellite video broadcasting is proposed according to the present invention, wherein the reflector and the receiving apparatus are not connected to each other and the reflector can lie in a vertical plane whose azimuth can be different from that of the satellite direction. These characteristics make the receiving antenna more integrable in the surrounding building structure, reducing in this way the environmental impact of the antenna. Furthermore, the separation of the reflector from the receiving apparatus simplifies the architectural integration with the external wall of the building. The reflector is an off-set section of a parabolic surface with a large focal distance and thus a low curvature, so that the reflector is almost flat. This is possible due to the separation between reflector and the receiving apparatus. Moreover, a vertical sundial can be printed on the reflector in order to render the receiving antenna not visible for the observer.
