Abstract:
A reception antenna intended for picking up signals from a geostationary satellite (15), comprising a paraboloid-shaped reflector (10) able to reflect the signals received and to concentrate them at a focal point whereat is arranged a source (11) able to guide said signals towards a frequency converter (13), wherein the source (11) and the reflector (10) are arranged inside a polyhedral casing (1), which is permeable to electromagnetic waves and whose lower face (4) is intended to be placed horizontally when using the reception antenna, the relative positioning of said source (11) and of said reflector (10) with respect to said lower face (4) of the casing (1) incorporating the angle of elevation corresponding to the position of the geostationary satellite (15) wherein at least part of the upper face (6) of the casing (1) lies in a plane secant to the plane passing through the lower face (4) of said casing (1).
