Abstract
A reflector antenna is disclosed with a stator portion and a rotor portion which is supported for rotation relative to the stator portion about a rotation axis. A reflector that is connected by an electrical connection with the stator portion, is secured to the rotor portion. The electrical connection is formed as a flexible connecting cable, wherein one end of the cable is attached to the rotor portion and the other end is attached to the stator portion. A segment of the connecting cable rotates with half the rotation speed of the rotor portion and with the same rotation direction as the rotor portion.
