A multibeam antenna comprises a direct radiating array (DRA) comprising a plurality of radiating elements, a reflector facing the DRA so as to reflect a field generated by the DRA, and a DRA controller configured to control the plurality of radiating elements of the DRA according to a plurality of coefficients, such that the field generated at the DRA produces a plurality of beams when reflected by the reflector. The DRA controller is configured to determine the plurality of coefficients by using a bifocal antenna model to determine a field that would be produced by a subreflector and feed horn arrangement in an equivalent bifocal antenna configured to produce the plurality of beams, and determining the plurality of coefficients required to produce a similar incident field at the surface of the reflector. A method of controlling the multibeam antenna, and corresponding computer program instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, are also disclosed.

A terminal device includes a metal frame having at least two slots disposed on a side of the metal frame. At least two antenna feedpoints are disposed on an inner side wall of the metal frame, and different antenna feedpoints in the at least two antenna feedpoints are disposed on side edges of different slots. A signal reflection wall is further provided inside the terminal device, and a gap exists between the signal reflection wall and the at least two slots. The signal reflection wall is formed by a metal wall of a battery chamber of the terminal device, and the battery chamber is a structure that accommodates a battery of the terminal device. The metal frame and the signal reflection wall are both electrically connected to a ground plate of the terminal device.

A multibeam antenna is provided comprising a direct radiating array, DRA, and a reflector arranged to reflect signals radiated from the DRA in a transmission mode and to reflect signals to the DRA in a reception mode. The antenna is a very high throughput satellite (VHTS) antenna providing global coverage with narrow, high gain beams.

A multi-core dielectric circular waveguide (MCDCW) is described. A hybrid mode excitation for multi-core dielectric filled circular waveguide fed parabolic antenna is also described. A multi-core dielectric circular waveguide with four cylinders of different relative permittivity (∈.sub.r) inside each other is used to generate the hybrid mode (HE.sub.11) directly without need for coupling TE.sub.11 and TM.sub.11 modes as in prior art corrugated waveguide feeders. This mode is preferable to be used as operating mode to feed the reflector. Four concentric cylinders of different relative permittivity ∈.sub.r are used as an example.

Technologies for calibrating radars and tracking space objects. Some of such technologies enable a technique for calibrating a radar based on using -A- an elemental antenna (308), which can be embedded on a housing hosting a set of antenna elements, or -B- an antenna (146) mounted to a reflector. Some of such technologies enable a radar site containing a first 1D phased array (112) and a second 1D phased array (112), where the first 1D phased array sends a set of signals and receives a set of reflections based on the set of signals, and the second 1D phased array receives the set of reflections.
