COMPACT RADIOFREQUENCY SOURCE, ANTENNA AND MULTIFACEAL ANTENNA SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH COMPACT SOURCES AND SATELLITE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE SUCH ANTENNA

摘要

The antenna has a network of compact radiofrequency sources (10) illuminating reflectors. The sources are associated in groups shifted relative to each other, where each source includes a polarizer (12) connected to a horn (11) and diplexers (15, 18) integrated in output channels (13, 14) of the polarizer. The diplexer has output ports (16, 17, 19, 20) for operating ports of the source in different colors defined by values of operating frequencies (F1, F2) and polarizations (P1, P2). The sources belonging to same group comprise the ports connected together to form beams.
