AERIALS (microwave radiators for near-field therapeutic treatment A 61 N 5/04; apparatus for testing aerials or for measuring aerial characteristics
G 01 R; waveguides H 01 P; radiators or aerials for microwave heating H 05 B 6/72)
Notes
(1)
This subclass covers:
-
in addition to the primary active radiating elements,
(i)
secondary devices for absorbing or for modifying the direction or polarisation of waves radiated from aerials, and
(ii)
combinations with auxiliary devices such as earthing switches, lead-in devices, and lightning protectors;
-
both transmitting and receiving aerials. [3]
(2)
This subclass does not cover devices of the waveguide type, such as resonators or lines, not designed as radiating elements, which are covered by subclass H 01 P.
(3)
In this subclass, the following expression is used with the meaning indicated:
-
"active radiating element" covers corresponding parts of a receiving aerial. [3]

Details of, or arrangements associated with, aerials (arrangements for varying orientation of directional pattern H 01 Q 3/00)
Notes
(1)
This group covers only:
-
structural details or features of aerials not dependent on electric operation;
-
structural details or features applicable to more than one type of aerial or aerial element.
(2)
Structural details or features described with reference to, or clearly applicable only to, aerials or aerial elements of a particular type are classified in the group appropriate to that type.
