TLDR
In this article, the concave surface of the antenna reflector body is provided with surface zones arranged in regular arrays or patterns, and the same antenna is capable of handling frequencies in a plurality of different band widths and different apertures.Abstract:
A reflector antenna is constructed for operation in at least two frequency ranges. For this purpose the concave surface of the antenna reflector body, which preferably has a paraboloid configuration, is provided with surface zones arranged in regular arrays or patterns. These surface zones provide antenna or reflector elements which are reflecting or transparent with regard to a particular frequency range or band width, while other surface zones of the antenna reflector surface are transparent or reflecting in another given frequency range or band widths. Thus, depending on the configurations and dimensions of these different surface zones one and the same antenna is capable of handling frequencies in a plurality of different band widths and different apertures.read more
