An antenna assembly and a method of mounting such an assembly are disclosed. A first and a second assembly portion are joined together, wherein the assembly portions each comprise a elongated reflector body serving as a reflector for electromagnetic power radiated by the antenna assembly portion, and a set of antenna element receiving means located in a linear row along a longitudinal direction of the reflector body for respectively receiving an antenna element, and side portions along the long sides of the said reflector body. The assembly method comprises the step of fastening the first and second assembly portions to each other along a respective side portion of the said assembly portions so as to form a dual array antenna assembly.

Antenna assembly

Antenna devices, including a pair and larger arrays of radiators, wherein each pair is to be connected to a first transmission line having a first characteristic impedance Z1. Each pair includes at least first and second radiating elements (1, 2) and first and second impedance transformers (3, 4) for the first and second radiating elements. One side of each transformer is connected to the respective element. The other sides are inter-connected by a second transmission line (8) to which their impedances are matched. The second transmission line has a resistive first impedance R1 equal to twice the first characteristic impedance Z1. The first transmission line is to be connected to the second transmission line at a selected one of many possible contact points (9). The selected contact point then determines a signal phase difference between said first and second radiating elements.
