Abstract
1,163,310. Aerials. COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE THOMSON HOUSTON - HOTCHKISS BRANDT. 9 Dec., 1966 [23 Dec., 1965], No. 55341/66. Heading H4A. In an aerial system comprising a primary feed illuminating a double curvature reflector, that is, a reflector having two curved portions each governed by a separate law, the primary feed has means for controlling the radiation direction from the reflector while maintaining the or each phase centre of the feed substantially in a fixed position relative to the reflector. In one embodiment a horn-type primary radiator 1, Fig. 4a, is tiltable about a horizontal axis 15 passing through its phase centre, so that its direction of maximum radiation may be aimed either towards the lower parabolic portion of a reflector 2, or towards the upper convex portion thereof. The horn is fed from a fixed waveguide or coaxial line 13 via a flexible connection 14. In another embodiment a primary source is constituted by three fixed horn or dielectric rod radiators 10, 11, 12, Fig. 5, the radiators 11, 12 being symmetrically disposed about the radiator 10. The three radiators are fed in parallel, but equal and opposite phase shifts may be imposed upon the radiators 11, 12 by adjustable phase shifters 5, 6 so that the direction of maximum radiation towards a reflector 2 may be aimed as required. The shape of the radiation pattern of the aerial system of a radar installation may be adjusted by the means described, to reduce interference from jamming or ground reflections. Such adjustment may be effected during rotation of the aerial system, at appropriate angles, using servo-control of the means for tilting the direction of maximum radiation of the primary source thereof.
