A kind of dual-band dual-circular polarization feed for paraboloidal-reflector antenna
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of feed. Be specifically a kind of simple type, the reflection of double frequency, double-circle polarization parabolicSurface antenna feed.
Background technology
Feed is the heart of reflector antenna, and the quality of feed directly determines the performance of paraboloidal-reflector antenna.For double frequency paraboloidal-reflector antenna, need undoubtedly the feed of two frequency ranges all to have in identical phase placeThe heart, having approximate consistent directional diagram just can be in two frequency range, and paraboloidal-reflector antenna could obtain goodGood performance. As features such as high efficiency, high-gain, low secondary lobes. Although some double-frequency micro-strip antenna or broadbandAntenna has double frequency or broadband (can cover double frequency) feature, can treat as parabolic reflector sky through improvingThe feed of line, but the feed of a lot of double-frequency micro-strip antenna or broad-band antenna composition does not have unified phase center,Can be around axially or along Axial changes with change of frequency phase center. Directional diagram is with change of frequency comparison simultaneouslyObviously, be difficult in two frequency bands, obtain approximate consistent directional diagram simultaneously, thereby cause antenna efficiency low.Some two-band feeds that adopt two feed nesting methods to realize are general in the situation that frequency ratio is smallerBe difficult to obtain approximate consistent directional diagram. These adopt the two-band feed of nesting method realization to two frequency rangesFrequency ratio have certain requirement. Work out a kind of in two-band, have approximate consistent directional diagram, toolThe feed for paraboloidal-reflector antenna that has unified phase center is one that in paraboloidal-reflector antenna field, facesTechnical barrier.
Summary of the invention
Problem to be solved by this invention, is to overcome the defect that prior art exists, and has proposed a kind of simple and easyType dual-band dual-circular polarization feed for paraboloidal-reflector antenna, this feed can be worked simultaneously in two frequency ranges, canLow, simple in structure, with low cost with double-circle polarization work and section, in two frequency ranges, have approximate oneThe directional diagram causing, can make paraboloidal-reflector antenna in two frequency ranges, have high antenna efficiency, low sideLobe level, also can make two frequency ranges have the advantages such as good frequency range and polarization isolation simultaneously.
A kind of simple type dual-band dual-circular polarization feed for paraboloidal-reflector antenna of the present invention (being called for short this feed), bagDraw together: the circular radiation patch of eight L-type probe feeds. It is characterized in that: the form of described radiator is circularMetal patch, adopts eight L-type probes to arrange around circumference equal angles, and the feed probes of frequency 1 and 2 is handed overWrong distribution, gives respectively four probe feeds by printing-type circular polarisation network. Wherein four probe vertical componentsCenter line change with frequency from the distance of radiation disc centre, when frequency is high, center line is closeThe center of radiation disk, this also means when frequency is high, the area of radiation areas is corresponding to diminish. Frequency is lowCenter line is away from the center of radiation disk. The area phase strain of radiation areas is large. Thereby ensure two frequency rangesInside there is approximate consistent directional diagram. While is due to two public radiation patch of frequency range, and radiation patchPhase center be positioned at the surface of radiation patch, ensure that like this two frequency ranges have approximate consistent phase center.Be L-type probe feed due to what adopt simultaneously, can in two frequency bands, all can there is wider work frequentlyBe with, ensured the reliability of system.
The present invention has approximate consistent directional diagram and unified phase center, each frequency range in two frequency bandsCan select different circular polarisation modes to work. With respect to public one Double frequency feed source inputing or outputing mouthful andSpeech, this feed can have good polarization isolation or frequency range isolation. Owing to adopting L-type probe coupling feed,Can in two frequency ranges, all there is wide frequency band. The height of feed only has 0.117 wavelength of low-limit frequency,There is low cross-section structure. The diameter of this feed only has 0.86 wavelength of low-limit frequency simultaneously, has screeningThe little feature of gear effect. These advantages all can improve the performance of paraboloidal-reflector antenna.

Detailed description of the invention
Below by accompanying drawing 1, the present invention and advantage thereof are described further.
Contrast Fig. 1, the frequency ratio of the two-band feed of design is 1.13, circular radiation patch is from reflecting plateThe diameter that is highly 0.118 lowest operating frequency wavelength, circular radiation patch is 0.5 lowest operating frequencyWavelength, L shaped probe are the L shaped probe of 0.0745 lowest operating frequency, low-frequency range from the height of reflecting plateThe center line of vertical component and radiation disk border are tangent, the center line of the L shaped probe vertical component of high bandBe 0.0378 lowest operating frequency wavelength, L shaped probe horizontal component from the air line distance of radiation disk borderLength is 0.1677 wavelength of corresponding frequency band. The diameter of reflecting plate is 0.86 wavelength of low-limit frequency. OnState the validity that test result has illustrated array antenna design. By each frequency range printing-type circular polarisation separatelyFeeding network is given respectively 4 feed probes feeds of each frequency range, if according to the each probe of clockwise directionDriving voltage amplitude equate, phase place differ successively 90 or-90 degree, can realize respectively dextrorotation orLeft-hand circular polarization. Can find out this feedback in two frequency ranges from Fig. 2 (a), 2 (b), 3 (a), 3 (b)Source almost has approximate consistent directional diagram, simultaneously at axial and near zone, has good axial ratio characteristic.The diameter of feed is smaller simultaneously, and the occlusion effect that paraboloidal-reflector antenna is caused also will be smaller. ThisA little characteristics all can improve the antenna performance of parabolic reflector.
