Abstract

The receiving antenna comprises at least two sectors or sections of paraboloids focusing the radiation onto their axes at points F.sub.1 and F.sub.2 respectively offset by a whole number of wavelengths of the received radiation. Each sector or section is associated with a helicoidal source located in its focal zone and having the same axis as that of the corresponding sector.
