Abstract
A device for transmitting and/or receiving high-frequency signals in an open or closed, spatial system, wherein the device is embodied as an array antenna, which transmits and receives high-frequency signals with a specified form of wavefront. The array antenna comprises a support structure with transmitting and/or receiving antenna elements. The support structure comprises a dielectric material, wherein a transmitting/receiving unit is provided, at least one feeding network is provided for transferring the high-frequency signals between the transmitting/receiving unit and the transmitting and/or receiving, antenna elements, and wherein a control/evaluation unit is provided. The device provides an inexpensive, compact and resistant device for transmitting and receiving high-frequency signals, which is distinguished by an optimized radiation characteristic.
