Abstract
The invention relates to an antenna for the reception of electromagnetic radiation, for example, microwaves emanating from a geo-stationary broadcast-satellite, the antenna comprising a receiving member and a focusing member forcusing the incident radiation thereto, the receiving member comprising at least one receiving element having an insulating substrate plate, a conductive plate applied to one surface thereof and a flat, conductive pattern applied to the other surface thereof, the conductive plate and the conductive pattern being coupled with connecting terminals, wherein an impedance matching circuit is connected between the receiving member and the connecting terminals for increasing the bandwidth of the antenna.
