MULTIPLATE ANTENNA FEED.
Abstract
The report describes the design of a multiplate antenna feed system which consists of tower- and ground-mounted equipment. The feed illuminates each of four elliptical multiplate apertures on the ground, producing a single beam on transmit, and a square cluster of twenty-five beams on receive. The feed system includes techniques for antenna frequency dispersion correction, sidelobe suppression, and polarization control. Various aspects of the feed design, including multiple-beam networks, dispersion correction filters, radiation patterns, phase-locked loops, signal amplification and processing, duplexing, and equipment packaging are described.
