Abstract:
A dual frequency primary radiator for receiving, transmitting, or receiving and transmitting, two frequencies of radiowaves having two components of polarization, comprising:a coaxial waveguide, composed of a first-frequency waveguide and a second-frequency waveguide arranged inside and substantially coaxially with the first-frequency waveguide, and opening at one end thereof for forming the radiator means;a pair of first-frequency feeders for individual polarized waves of a first frequency, provided penetrating through the wall of the first-frequency waveguide to reach the interior of the first-frequency waveguide, and a pair of second-frequency feeders for individual polarized waves of a second frequency, provided penetrating through the walls of the first-frequency and second-frequency waveguides to reach the interior of the second-frequency waveguide, the feeders each being composed of an outer conductor, and a center conductor arranged inside and concentrically with the outer conductor; anda reflecting means provided inside the second-frequency waveguide, at a position approximately one quarter of the wavelength away from the second-frequency feeder in the direction opposite the radiator means, characterized in that the first-frequency feeders are located at positions approximately one quarter of the wavelength away from the second-frequency feeders toward the radiator means of the coaxial waveguide, and the outer conductors of the second-frequency feeders are utilized as the reflecting means for the first-frequency feeders.
