Summary of Radiation Pattern Measurements Using the LES-7Lens and Variable Power Dividing (VPD) Feed Network at 7.68GHz.

摘要

A comparison between experimental and calculated radiation pattern data for a multiple-beam antenna is presented. The antenna consists of a waveguide lens aperture excited by a 19-element feed horn array and variable beam-forming network. The pattern data presented varies from a narrow high-gain beam, equivalent to that of a steerable paraboloid, to the earth-coverage pattern of a wide coverage communication satellite. Also discussed are the results of the earth-coverage measurements when either one or two feeds are turned off so as to produce nulls in the earth-coverage pattern.
