Antenna apparatus
First Claim
1. An antenna apparatus, comprising:
- a base portion;
a disk-shaped first rotary member supported on the base portion and provided rotatably about an azimuth axis;
a first motor provided on the base portion and for rotating the first rotary member;
a disk-shaped second rotary member supported on the base portion and provided rotatably about a same axis as the first rotary member;
a second motor provided on the base portion and for rotating the second rotary member;
a relative rotary shaft provided on the first rotary member and rotating by relative rotation between the first rotary member and the second rotary member; and
a rotation transmission portion for rotating an antenna provided on the first rotary member about an elevation angle axis by the rotation of the relative rotary shaft.

Abstract
There is disclosed an antenna apparatus used for satellite communication or the like and including an antenna rotating in an azimuth angle direction and an elevation angle direction, which can be miniaturized without using a slip ring for ensuring electrical connection between a stationary portion and a movable portion. A rotary member 3 is rotated by rotation of a motor 5 to rotate an antenna 11 about an azimuth axis. On the other hand, a motor 9 is rotated to rotate a rotary member 7, and a relative rotary shaft 14 is rotated by relative rotation between the rotary member 3 and the rotary member 7. The rotation of the relative rotary shaft 14 rotates the antenna 11 about an elevation angle axis by rotation transmission through a bevel gear 18 and a bevel gear 19.
