Zusammenfassung: | A feed system for controlling the variable electrical tilt in the vertical plane of arrayed radiating elements of a multiband antenna, comprising a Butler matrix with N inputs and N outputs comprising hybrid couplers, each input receiving a radio signal and each output transmitting the signal to at least one radiating element. At least one output of the Butler matrix is connected to a module comprising (i) a first stage of diplexers that separates the signal into different frequency bands, (ii) a second stage of fixed delay lines that applies a given electrical delay to the signal in each frequency band, (iii) a third stage of variable phase shifters that introduce an adjusted phase shift of the signal into each frequency band, and (iv) a fourth stage of diplexers that combines the signals into the different frequency bands in order to transmit them to at least one radiating element. |
