The invention concerns an antenna for re-transmitting to the ground images produced by an orbiting satellite imaging instruments, characterised in that it comprises a plurality of elementary radiating antennae (1) with a plurality of cords regularly distributed in helix about a common rotation generator and means for supplying the various cords with power of equal amplitude The invention is characterised in that these various elementary antennae are aligned and the plane wherein these various elementary antennae are distributed is designed, when the satellite is in orbit, to be perpendicular to the direction of the satellite speed vector and the antenna also comprises means (2) for shifting the phase of the power supply to these various elementary antennae which are capable of electronically defocusing the elongated beam generated by said elementary antennae.
Antenne pour la retransmission au sol d'images collectées par des instruments
de prise de vue d'un satellite à défilement, caractérisée en ce qu'elle
comporte une pluralité d'antennes élémentaires de rayonnement (1) du type
présentant une pluralité de brins répartis régulièrement en hélice autour
d'une même génératrice de révolution ainsi que des moyens d'alimentation équi-
amplitude des différents brins, en ce que ces différentes antennes
élémentaires sont alignées et en ce que le plan dans lequel ces différentes
antennes élémentaires sont réparties est destiné, lorsque le satellite est en
orbite, à être perpendiculaire à la direction du vecteur vitesse du satellite
et en ce qu'elle comporte également des moyens (2) de déphasage de
l'alimentation de ces différentes antennes élémentaires qui sont aptes à
réaliser un dépointage électronique du faisceau allongé généré par lesdites
antennes élémentaires.
