Tech/Engineering / radio antennas
German term or phrase: Reusenringe
In a document describing the installation of a radio antenna tower and antenna, in a section describing to the assembly of the antenna structure. Possibly that the name comes from the fact that they resembles the rings of a fishtrap. I assume they are the ring radiators elements sometimes seen in antenna arrays.

Specific context:

'Die Dipole sowie die Steigleitungen kommen abgelängt... zur Baustelle. Hier werden dann die Reusenringe eingabaut.'

No other context available.

(sqirrel-)cage rings?
Explanation:
At least you can find a reference of the German term under the address below, quote:
"Im Dezember 1966 begann über eine 144 m hohe Reusenantenne der Betrieb mit 300 kW. Die 140 Tonnen schwere Antenne deren Reusenring einen Durchmesser von 64 m Durchmesser hatte, stand auf einer Keramikkugel von 1 m Durchmesser."

As "Reusenantenne" or "Käfigantenne" is called "(squirrel-)cage antenna", perhaps the expression "(squirrel-)cage ring" exists - but I did not find this anywhere ...

Reusenantenna is apperently used to refer to two types of antenna construction, which are called 'prism antenna' and (sometimes" squirrelcage antenna' in English -- and from what I can understand from the referenced site, the antenna in question is the first type. However, in this case the antenna is a vertical stacked array, and my impression is that it consists of a combination of dipole and ring elements, so it is neither a prism nor a squirrelcage antenna.

In short, I have no idea what the Reusenringe are called in English (and quite possibly there is not any equivalent name).
