Abstract

The present invention relates to telecommunication technology and broadcasting antenna technology. The power-feeding portion and the wave-guiding space, and the power-feeding wave-guiding space and the power-radiating wave-guiding space are matched for the effective radiation of the fed power. A conical matching body is disposed within the wave-guiding space with the apex thereof directed toward a power-feeding opening; the junction of the power-feeding wave-guiding space and the power-radiating wave-guiding space is formed in a sectional shape of a semicircle, a hemihedral polygon or a desired curvilinear shape; the power-feeding wave-guiding space the power-radiating wave-guiding space are matched in impedance; or a matching body is provided at the junction of the power-feeding wave-guiding space and the power-radiating wave-guiding space. A delaying means, such as a corrugated plate, is provided on the power-radiating surface or on a wall disposed opposite to the power-radiating surface, to radiate the power of the same phase uniformly with the reduced side lobe.
