A radio telescope is a specialized antenna and radio receiver used to receive radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky. Radio telescopes are the main observing instrument used in radio astronomy, which studies the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by astronomical objects, just as optical telescopes are the main observing instrument used in traditional optical astronomy which studies the light wave portion of the spectrum coming from astronomical objects. Radio telescopes are typically large parabolic ("dish") antennas similar to those employed in tracking and communicating with satellites and space probes. They may be used singly or linked together electronically in an array. Unlike optical telescopes, radio telescopes can be used in the daytime as well as at night. Since astronomical radio sources such as planets, stars, nebulas and galaxies are very far away, the radio waves coming from them are extremely weak, so radio telescopes require very large antennas to collect enough radio energy to study them, and extremely sensitive receiving equipment. Radio observatories are preferentially located far from major centers of population to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) from radio, television, radar, motor vehicles, and other man-made electronic devices.

Solar receiver

A lightweight reflector with a load bearing structure based on a tensile spoke-wheel. The spoke structure is especially compatible with dish parabolic mirrors, but has utility as a carrier structure for any round functional surface, including flat or slightly-curved mirrors used in central tower solar systems, parabolic dishes for radio telescopes and antennas, and for non-concentrating thin film solar panels. There are no radial members loaded in compression. All the spokes pull the rim inwards, and the rim is compressed in the circumferential direction. The imbalance in spoke tension results from the application of load provides the rigidity of the rim in respect to the hub, both for in-plane and out-of-plane forces. Ribs stiffen the spokes to resist wind and gravity, but are not structurally supported by either the hub or the rim. Lightweight reflector tiles match the wheel structure and create the reflective surface.

The invention relates to a Q-waveband ridge transition ortho-mode transducer. The coupler is of a broadband double-ridge transition-branch synthetic structure, has a center frequency of 40GHz and relative bandwidth of 50% and is used for a radio telescope Q-waveband receiver system. The ortho-mode transducer is composed of a double-ridge transition-branch joint, a Y-shaped joint, a first E-shaped bend, a second E-shaped bend, a first sidewall branch port, a second sidewall branch port, double ridges, a double-ridge transition segment, a coupling screw, an inductive diaphragm, a first 90-degree bend, a second 90-degree bend and an impedance transformation segment, wherein the double-ridge transition-branch joint is mainly used for separating two orthogonally polarized signals, double-ridge transition in a straight channel employs three steps, and a sidewall branch channel introduces the coupling screw and the inductive diaphragm; the Y-shaped joint is used for combining two horizontally polarized signals output by the double-ridge transition-branch joint into one signal; and the E-shaped bends are used for connecting the double-ridge transition-branch joint with the Y-shaped joint. The actual measurement results of reflection loss and isolation of the coupler are basically consistent with simulation results, and thus the radio astronomical observation demand is satisfied.
