A wireless transceiver for a wireless communication network has an offset Gregorian antenna arrangement comprising a primary reflector dish, an electrically conductive reflector member comprising a secondary reflector and a conductive support wall, a planar array of antenna elements arranged as a feed for transmitting radio frequency signals to the secondary reflector and/or for receiving radio frequency signals from the secondary reflector and a conductive support block configured to support the planar array of antenna elements. The conductive support wall is connected directly to the conductive support block, and the conductive support wall is configured to be substantially perpendicular to the planar array of antenna elements.

An antenna assembly to be carried by a satellite includes an antenna feed configured to extend outwardly from the satellite, and a frame rotatably carried by the antenna feed and is rotatable about a first rotation axis. A main reflector is carried by the frame and is aligned with the antenna feed. A splash plate is carried by the frame in spaced apart relation from the main reflector and is rotatable about a second rotation axis.

A multi band antenna system for transmission and reception of electromagnetic signals in a low-profile dual reflector configuration with position-controlled main-reflector, and fixed sub-reflector and feed horn. An added linear slide of the main-reflector with respect to the sub-reflector synchronized with variable tilt angle of the main-reflector for compensation for the varied focal length in the main-reflector to the beam due the varied main-reflector tilt. The system achieves a beam elevation of 10 to 100 (full elevation), minimum gain variations over the full elevation travel, swept volume as per ARINC 791 (e.g. Boeing Radome or Airbus Radome), and can be used to meet wide-Tx/Rx bands requirements.

An antenna system for satellite applications is provide, the antenna system comprising an antenna array and a feed structure, and the antenna array is a passive antenna array configured to have a first state and a second state, the second state being a first deployed state. The feed structure is configured to provide a linearly polarized incident field for the antenna array in the first deployed state. The antenna array comprises a plurality of array elements, and the plurality of array elements forms a polarization conversion surface configured for converting the linearly polarized incident field to a reflected/transmitted circular polarized field. The antenna array is configured so that the radiation pattern of the reflected/transmitted circular polarized field corresponds to a predetermined radiation pattern and an array element geometry and an array element position of each of the plurality array elements are configured to provide the predetermined radiation pattern.

A reflector antenna device is configured to include a main reflector 1 that has a rectangular aperture shape 2, and a primary radiator 3 that radiates a beam having a rectangular shape similar to the aperture shape 2 of the main reflector 1 onto the main reflector 1. As the primary radiator 3, a multimode horn antenna, an active phased array antenna, or the like can be used. As a result, the degree of freedom of reflector shaping can be improved without causing reduction in efficiency.

A system including a plurality of circuits in a first radio frequency (RF) device which are configured to control a plurality of reflector devices based on a set of criteria. The controlled plurality of reflector devices transmit a plurality of RF signals in a specified direction and a specified location of a second RF device within transmission range of the controlled plurality of reflector devices. The plurality of RF signals are transmitted in the specified direction and the specified location of a second RF device based on a request for signal cancellation. The request for the signal cancellation is based on a noise from the second RF device and the plurality of RF signals are cancelled in the specified direction and the specified location of the second RF device.

Methods of antenna pointing and antenna assemblies implementing those methods are disclosed. An example method includes providing a user terminal antenna assembly including an antenna and an auto-peak device. The antenna includes a reflector, a subreflector, and a feed, the feed oriented relative to the reflector and the subreflector to produce a beam. The antenna further includes a tilt assembly to tilt the subreflector relative to the reflector and the feed. The method further includes providing a control signal to tilt the subreflector in a plurality of tilt positions to move the beam while measuring corresponding signal strength of a signal communicated via the antenna at each of the plurality of tilt positions. Additionally, the method includes selecting a tilt position from the plurality of tilt positions based on a measured signal strength, and providing the control signal to tilt the subreflector to the selected tilt position.
