Ultra-wideband non-metal horn antenna
The disclosure provides an ultra-wideband non-metal horn antenna, which includes three combinable non-metal elements such as an impedance matching member, a field adjustment member and an outer cover member. The impedance matching member and the field adjustment member are respectively disposed with a first and second groove structures. The field adjustment member is connected between the impedance matching member and the outer cover member. Therefore, the horn antenna of the disclosure can have a more symmetrical radiation pattern, a smaller antenna size, and ultra-wideband performance.

Conformal Frequency Selective Surfaces for Arbitrary Curvature
A method of conforming a periodic array to a surface is provided. The method comprises calculating, with a spatially-variant lattice algorithm, a pair of planar gratings across the surface, wherein the planar gratings are generated via reciprocal lattice vectors and summing the pair of planar gratings. Intersections produced by summing the gratings are scanned for maxima on the surface, and a periodic array of elements is located at the maxima on the surface. A normal vector is calculated at each maximum on the surface, and each element is rotated to match the direction of the respective normal vector at each maximum on the surface. The elements are then conformed to the surface via a shrink-wrap modifier operation.
Electronically aligned wideband tracking modulator system
An electronically aligned wideband tracking modulator system is described. The wide band tracking modulator system comprises a waveguide coupled to an antenna. The wide band tracking modulator system also comprises waveguide tuning circuitry configured to convert RF energy from a waveguide of the wideband tracking modulator system into an RF signal that can be processed by the waveguide tuning circuitry. The waveguide tuning circuitry is also configured to shift a phase of the RF signal. The waveguide tuning circuitry is further configured to convert the phase-shifted RF signal into phase-shifted RF energy and return the phase-shifted RF energy to the waveguide to electrically align the wideband tracking modulator system.
Dual-band parabolic reflector microwave antenna systems
Microwave antenna systems include a parabolic reflector antenna and a dual-band feed assembly. The dual-band feed assembly includes a coaxial waveguide structure and a sub-reflector. The coaxial waveguide structure includes a central waveguide and an outer waveguide that circumferentially surrounds the central waveguide. The sub-reflector is mounted proximate the distal end of the coaxial waveguide structure.
DUAL-BAND MULTIMODE ANTENNA FEED
Provided is a dual-band multimode antenna feed for a high-frequency band and a low-frequency band. The feed includes four high-frequency waveguide ports, where each high-frequency waveguide port is connected to a respective high-frequency input/output waveguide. Each high-frequency input/output waveguide includes a high-frequency waveguide aperture facing a first section for mixing electromagnetic modes in the E-plane. The first section is connected to a second section for mixing electromagnetic modes in the H-plane. The feed further includes a low-frequency waveguide port connected to a low-frequency input/output waveguide. A filter is arranged inside the first section to be transparent for plane wave modes exhibited at lower frequencies and reflecting for plane wave modes exhibited at higher frequencies.
Antenna system
An antenna system comprises at least one antenna, a feeding line and a cable guide for a line not feeding the at least one antenna. The at least one antenna has a feeding portion to which the feeding line is assigned. The cable guide has an opening that is provided in the feeding portion.
