Abstract:
1. An antenna for radio wave communications, comprising: a first antenna section of unitary form and of planar array type to operate at a first frequency and a first polarization; a second antenna section of unitary form and of planar array type to operate at a second frequency and a second polarization, wherein at least one set consisting of said first frequency and said second frequency and said first polarization and said second polarization are substantially different; a table having a substantially planar surface and a central axis; said first antenna section and said second antenna section mounted in parallel on said planar surface and with respect to said central axis such that rotation of said table about said central axis mechanically scans the antenna with respect to said central axis; and said first antenna section and said second antenna section also mounted with a separation such that said first antenna section does not substantially overshadow said second antenna section when handling the radio wave communications.
