Detailed description of the invention
The present invention is described in detail with detailed description of the invention below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3, the double-circle polarization waveguide array antenna of the present invention, including waveguide, waveguide includes radiating layer 1, circular polarisation conversion layer 2, horizontal polarization and the vertical polarization waveguide transport layer 4 being cascading.Radiating layer and circular polarisation conversion layer waveguide cross-section are square.Horizontal polarization and vertical polarization waveguide transport layer waveguide cross-section are rectangle.Radiating layer is used for receiving double-circle polarization electromagnetic signal for square loudspeaker.Circular polarisation conversion layer includes dieelctric sheet 3.Dieelctric sheet is parallel with waveguide axis, its dual-side is connected at this layer of inwall diagonal angle of waveguide, this layer of inner chamber of waveguide is separated into two spaces, with by dieelctric sheet by the double-circle polarization Signal separator horizontal polarization signals as constant amplitude and vertical polarization signal.Horizontal polarization and vertical polarization waveguide transport layer include upper and lower two-layer orthomode coupler (Orthogonal modular
Transducer, i.e. OMT).Every layer of orthomode coupler transmission structure of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization waveguide transport layer can use the structure of prior art.
Radiating layer is square loudspeaker, and the area that can make full use of rectangular flat antenna surface receives circularly polarized signal effect to improve, it is achieved homalographic reception maximizes.
The dielectric constant of dieelctric sheet is 5.5-6.5, preferably 5.8-6.2, more preferably 6.Dieelctric sheet plastic medium material is made, and so can alleviate weight, reduce cost, naturally it is also possible to use other dielectric materials to make.
The dieelctric sheet both sides length of side is preferably 12-16mm, exceed this scope will affect reception or increase volume, improve cost, be further preferably 13-15mm, more preferably 14mm.
Dieelctric sheet thickness is preferably 1.5-2mm, exceed this scope will affect reception or increase volume, improve cost, be further preferably 1.8-2mm, more preferably 2mm.
The synthetic resin material of antenna wave guide Coating conductive layer is made, it would however also be possible to employ other conventional antenna wave guide materials.
For conventional ku band signal, the length of side of square loudspeaker unit lattice is preferably 25-30mm, is further preferably 26-28mm, i.e. long less than 1.2 times of working electromagnet wave-waves.
As in figure 2 it is shown, the connected mode of dieelctric sheet is preferably: being provided with slot at waveguide circular polarisation conversion layer inwall diagonal angle, this slot is fixed in dieelctric sheet dual-side grafting.Can certainly connect with other conventional fixed forms are fixing.
As it is shown on figure 3, the two ends that are preferably shaped to of dieelctric sheet are that concave shaped, two ends closest approach distance are less than its both sides length of side.Most preferably dieelctric sheet two ends concave shaped hatching line is shaped as the waist of isosceles triangle.Certainly, concave shaped hatching line shape in dieelctric sheet two ends can also be other shapes such as arcs.The shape of dieelctric sheet two ends concave shaped, can improve the reception of antenna, alleviate weight, reduction cost.Dieelctric sheet two ends closest approaches distance preferably 3-6mm, exceed this scope will affect reception or increase volume, raising cost, be further preferably 4-5mm, more preferably 5mm.
As shown in Figure 4, the antenna of the present invention can make 6 × 16 array of cells forms.Other conventional array of cells forms can certainly be made.The quantity of cell can set according to the gain requirement landed the satellite of antenna territory of use needed for field intensity.
As shown in Figure 5, Figure 6, two layers of orthomode coupler transmission structure of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization waveguide transport layer are rectangular waveguide transmission structure, can use the common structure of prior art, the electromagnetic wave energy received by unit by 1:1 or 1:2 power combiner device and impedance matching converges to get up to eventually enter into tuner.The position of these two layers of orthomode couplers can exchange, respectively transmission horizontal polarization and vertical polarization signal.It is prior art with the connected mode of tuner.
As 96 unit double-circle polarization satellite antennas be in the television receiving antenna that done of nine satellites, it receives the KU band signal that frequency is 11.7G-12.3GHz, is about a wavelength according to Frequency Design cell size;Land its gain requirement of field strength analysis according to territory of use, be set to the 96 cell forms of 6 × 16.Antenna is made up of the synthetic resin material of Coating conductive layer, and volume size is 401mm × 151mm × 55.7mm.Radiating element is square horn mouth, and signal accepts incoming circular polarisation conversion layer down.Every layer of orthomode coupler transmission structure of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization waveguide transport layer is rectangular waveguide transmission structure, square-section is 15 × 3.2, and the electromagnetic wave energy received by unit by 1:1 or 1:2 power combiner device and impedance matching converges to get up to eventually enter into tuner.This antenna achieves common antenna and receives the purpose processing double-circle polarization electromagnetic signal simultaneously, and simple in construction, volume is little, lightweight, and dual polarized signals one side receiving efficiency can reach 95%, low cost.
The operation principle of the present invention is: ground floor radiating layer is square horn mouth array, for receiving double-circle polarization electromagnetic signal, receive the signal come and enter the second layer by coupling throughhole, i.e. circular polarisation conversion layer, this Rotating fields is that square diagonal places swallow-tail form dieelctric sheet after square horn, by changing the dielectric constant of dieelctric sheet and increasing dieelctric sheet thickness, dieelctric sheet length circularly polarized signal being converted into needed for linear polarization receives can be reduced, then can reduce the height of antenna, this for realize high-gain and outward appearance small and exquisite be helpful.Circularly polarized signal is through dieelctric sheet, it is separated into the signal that the signal being perpendicular to dieelctric sheet direction is equal with the amplitude being parallel to dieelctric sheet, but the signal phase being parallel to dieelctric sheet is leading or falls behind (being determined by left-right rotary) in the signal phase 90 degree being perpendicular to dieelctric sheet, after the dieelctric sheet of particular design, the signal phase making parallel dieelctric sheet slows down 90 degree, the signal of perpendicular media sheet is the most impacted, so the phase place of last parallel signal is identical with vertical signal phase place or contrary, again because they are separated by circularly polarized signal, it it is constant amplitude, so the signal being finally synthesizing and dieelctric sheet angle are 45 degree, for horizontal polarization or vertical polarization signal.The horizontal polarization being transformed and vertical polarization signal enter in third layer, transmit respectively, finally meet at tuner in upper and lower two-layer OMT structure.
