Abstract

A Ka-band offset hybrid antenna having a shaped focuser is disclosed. The Ka-band offset hybrid antenna having a shaped focuser, including: a shaped focuser for reflecting a received plane wave to focus an energy of the received plane wave on an offset focal line and reflecting a transmitting signal; and an active feed array module for receiving the reflected received plane wave from the shaped focuser and radiating the transmitting signal to the shaped focuser antenna, wherein the active feed array module including a feed horn array antenna having a plurality of single horns and an active channel block (ACB) having multi-active channels for changing a direction angle of transceiving beam.

Claims (14)

1. A Ka-band offset hybrid antenna having a shaped focuser, comprising:

a shaped focuser for reflecting a received plane wave to focus an energy of the received plane wave on an offset focal line and reflecting a transmitting signal; and

an active feed array module for receiving the reflected received plane wave from the shaped focuser and radiating the transmitting signal to the shaped focuser antenna,

wherein the active feed array module including a feed horn array antenna having a plurality of single horns and an active channel block (ACB) having multi-active channels for changing a direction angle of transceiving beam.

2. The Ka-band offset hybrid antenna of claim 1 , further comprising:

a power supplying module for supplying direct current of electric power to the active feed array module; and

a beam controlling module for controlling a beam direction of the active feed array antenna.

3. The Ka-band offset hybrid antenna of claim 1 , wherein the active feed array module includes 8 single horn antennas and 8 active channels and the 8 single horn antennas and 8 active channels are connected respectively in one-to-one manner.

4. The ka-band offset hybrid antenna of claim 3 , wherein each of the 8 single horn antennas outputs a radio frequency (RF) signal having unique phase and intensity.

5. The ka-band offset hybrid antenna of claim 3 , wherein each of the single horn antennas includes a polarizing flatbed radiation element for feeding an electric power and inducing a polarized wave.

6. The ka-band offset hybrid antenna of claim 3 , wherein the single horn has a perfect square waveguide aperture having a size of 0.94λ×0.94λ.

7. The ka band offset hybrid antenna of claim 1 , wherein the shaped focuser has a curvilinear rim structure and lower aperture for optimizing to beam-scan a signal radiated from the active feed array module.

8. The ka band offset hybrid antenna of claim 1 , wherein the active feed array module is offset from the shaped focuser.

9. The ka band offset hybrid antenna of claim 8 , wherein the shaped focuser has a size of 600 mm×700 mm and the active feed array module is offset from one side of the shaped focuser in a distance of about 192.8 mm and from another side of the shaped focuser in a distance of about 666.1 mm.
