Planar antenna for satellite TV reception (option of beam steering or scanning)
Periodical diffraction grating of holes in metal disc has low weight and is easy to manufacture. Corresponding antenna model is shown. Antenna operates on 12.5 GHz, has 3.3° x 3.3° main beam, and has an option of beam steering within ±30° sector. Initially this model was designed for high-resolution satellite radar system with synthesized aperture. With some modifications it can be used in scanning mode in helicopter landing radar system, marine mooring system and others
