Abstract

See full text

An antenna device includes a main reflector (11), a sub-reflector (12) including sub-reflector panels and having a reflecting surface facing a reflecting surface of the main reflector, and a primary emitter (13) to receive a radio wave reflected by the sub-reflector (12). Each of sub-reflector panel drive mechanisms coupled to the sub-reflector panels is finely driven. A phase calculator (171) calculates a relative phase of an element electric-field vector corresponding to each of the sub-reflector panels based on a change in received electric-field strength of the radio wave received by the primary emitter (13) during driving of the sub-reflector panel drive mechanisms, and determines positions of the sub-reflector panels at which a phase distribution on an aperture surface of the main reflector (11) is minimized.
