Abstract

This structure for a dichroic antenna can be used in a reflector antenna capable of operating at the same time at two different frequencies or with two orthogonal polarizations, and presents mechanical characteristics allowing its use on board the satellites. The structure, suitable for a subreflector, comprises a plurality of layers with high mechanical stiffness in the external part, followed by layers with low dielectric constant and one or a plurality of metallic grids in the most internal part, separated by low-dielectric constant layers.
