Patent ID: 7804464

Claim:
A microwave phasing structure comprising: a support structure; a plurality of adjustable sub-panels coupled to the support structure and forming a reflective surface for reflecting microwaves within an operation frequency band; and a securing means for securing said plurality of adjustable sub-panels to said support structure and for individually adjusting a position of at least one of the plurality of adjustable sub-panels, said securing means comprising a plurality of differential bolts for securing and differentially adjusting the plurality of sub-panels such that a distance between the support structure and corners of at least one of the plurality of sub-panels can be individually adjusted with at least one degree of freedom, thereby enabling the at least one sub-panel to be tilted with respect to the support structure, the support structure to which the plurality of adjustable sub-panels are coupled comprising a flat planar surface extending continuously under each of the plurality of adjustable sub-panels.
