ABSTRACT:
An antenna array for receiving dual polarized electromagnetic waves, comprised of a first thin-film printed circuit rectenna having a plurality of linear half-wavelength dipole antennae oriented in a first direction for receiving a first component of the dual polarized waves, and a second thin-film printed circuit rectenna parallel to the first rectenna, having a plurality of linear half-wavelength dipole antennae oriented in a second direction for receiving the second orthogonal component of the electromagnetic waves. A reflector screen is disposed parallel and behind the second rectenna, for reflecting incident electromagnetic waves transmitted through the first and second rectennae back to the first and second rectennae for reception thereby. The dipole antenna of the first rectenna are disposed in a predetermined pattern in relation to the second rectenna dipole antennae, the first and second rectennae are separated by one of either substantially zero distance or by a multiple half-wavelength distance, and the second rectenna and reflector screen are separated by a predetermined distance to effect substantial cancellation of transmission line shielding effects and mutual coupling, resulting in high efficiency signal reception.
