It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, an ultra wide band-ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) and an antenna system are provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the ultra wide band-ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) and the antenna system at least include an ultra wide band-ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) and a radiation antenna, where a first channel is disposed in the ultra wide band-ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), a second channel is disposed in the radiation antenna, and a common port of the first channel is connected to a first antenna port of the second channel; and a plurality of ridges with square cross sections are arranged in the first channel, and the ridges arranged in the first channel extend from the public port to the inner wall of the first channel.
For an ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), it should be noted that:
the ultra-wideband ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) is a wideband orthogonal mode coupler, wherein a common port in the structure of the conventional orthogonal mode coupler is mostly a square waveguide port or a circular waveguide port, the working frequency range broadening of the conventional orthogonal mode coupler is only 1-2 octaves, and the processing difficulty is high; however, the broadband orthogonal mode coupler adopted by the application is provided with the ridge structure at the public port, and the ridge structure enables the broadband orthogonal mode coupler to achieve wider working bandwidth, higher port isolation and cross polarization isolation, and meanwhile, the broadband orthogonal mode coupler also achieves multi-octave (at least 2 octaves) and has good impedance matching.
In an alternative example, the common port of the first channel is a square port, and four ridges are respectively arranged on four side walls of the square port and positioned in the middle of the side walls to form a square port with four ridges as shown in fig. 2.
Wherein, the cross section size of the square opening of the four ridges satisfies the following formula:
Figure BDA0002458933510000071
in the formula, a1 is the length of the long side of the public port; a2 is ridge width; b1 is the length of the public port wide side; b2 is ridge spacing; u is relative magnetic permeability; ε is the relative dielectric constant; fc is the cut-off frequency; cf is the fringe capacitance; as shown in particular in fig. 8.
That is, the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) provided by the present application can calculate the cut-off frequencies of the four-ridged square-mouth with different sizes by the above formula.
In an optional example, a first channel of an ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal-mode coupler (OMT) is divided into a separation channel, a combining channel, and a matching channel, wherein one end of the separation channel is provided with a common port, and the other end of the separation channel is provided with two side ports and a straight port; one end of the combining channel is connected with two side ports of the separation channel, and the other end of the combining channel is a standard rectangular port; one end of the matching channel is connected with the straight port of the separation channel, and the other end of the matching channel is a standard rectangular port.
That is, a separation channel, a combining channel and a matching channel are arranged inside the ultra-wideband ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), wherein the separation channel is used for separating the wave transmitted by the common port into a TE01 mode and a TE10 mode, wherein a TE01 mode is transmitted from two side ports of the separation channel to the combining channel, and is combined into one path based on the channel structure of the combining channel and output from a standard rectangular port of the combining channel; the TE10 mode is transmitted from the straight port of the separation channel to the matching channel and out of the standard rectangular port of the matching channel.
In addition, the separation channel, the combination channel and the matching channel arranged in the ultra-wideband ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) can also carry out opposite electromagnetic wave transmission, namely, a TE10 mode is input from a standard rectangular port of the matching channel and enters the separation channel through a straight port; the TE01 module is input from a standard rectangular port of the combining channel and enters the separating channel through two side ports; at this point the TE01 mode and TE10 mode are combined in separate channels and output through a common port.
It should be noted that: in the present application, in order to clearly describe the channel structure inside the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), the first channel of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) is divided into a separation channel, a combining channel and a matching channel, but the present application does not specifically limit the specific dividing manner of the internal channel (first channel) of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT).
The ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) of the present application may be as shown in fig. 3, the separation channel may be as shown in fig. 4, the combining channel may be as shown in fig. 5, and the matching channel may be as shown in fig. 6. It should be noted that: fig. 3-6 are internal channel models of an ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), rather than an ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) solid model.
The public port can be a square four-ridge waveguide port with the side length of 5.9mm and can be connected with a radiation antenna; the standard rectangular port can be a BJ320 standard rectangular port and can be connected with the waveguide coaxial converter; the straight opening may be a 6.6mm by 2.1mm rectangular waveguide; the side port may be a single ridge waveguide port of 5.9mm by 1.56 mm.
In an optional example, the four ridges are divided into a first group of ridges and a second group of ridges, wherein the first group of ridges are respectively located on a first side wall and a second side wall which are oppositely arranged on the separation channel and extend to the combining channel; the second set of ridges are respectively located on a third side wall and a fourth side wall of the separation channel which are oppositely arranged.
That is, as shown in fig. 4, the four ridges are a first ridge, a second ridge, a third ridge and a fourth ridge, wherein the first ridge and the second ridge form a first group of ridges, and the third ridge and the fourth ridge form a second group of ridges, at this time, the first ridge is disposed on the first side wall of the separation channel and extends to the merging channel based on the side port connected by the first side wall, the second ridge is disposed on the second side wall of the separation channel and extends to the merging channel based on the side port connected by the second side wall, and the first side wall and the second side wall are disposed opposite to each other in the separation channel; furthermore, the third and fourth ridges are provided on the third and fourth side walls, respectively, of the opposing re-separation channel and disappear before the separation channel connects the mating channel.
In an alternative example, as shown in fig. 5, the combining channel includes a combining sub-channel, a first converting channel and a second converting channel, a first end of the first converting channel and a first end of the second converting channel are respectively connected to the two side ports of the separating channel, and a second end of the first converting channel and a second end of the second converting channel are both connected to the combining sub-channel.
It should be noted that: in order to clearly describe the channel structure of the combining channel in the present application, the combining channel of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal-mode coupler (OMT) is divided into a combining sub-channel, a first converting channel and a second converting channel. That is, the present application does not specifically limit the specific dividing manner of the road channels.
At the moment, the ridge heights of the first group of ridges are gradually reduced in the first conversion channel and the second conversion channel, so that the first conversion channel is smoothly transited to the rectangular waveguide from the single ridge waveguide, and the second conversion channel is smoothly transited to the rectangular waveguide from the single ridge waveguide; after the first conversion channel is converted into the rectangular waveguide and the second conversion channel is converted into the rectangular waveguide, the combining sub-channel is connected with the two rectangular waveguides so that the two rectangular waveguides are combined into one rectangular waveguide, and the ultra-wideband ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) outputs electromagnetic waves through the rectangular waveguides.
In an alternative example, as shown in fig. 5, the first switching path is subjected to a widening process from a first preset position in a direction from a first end to a second end of the first switching path, wherein the widening process is to widen a width of a surface of the first switching path provided with ridges; and in the direction from the first end to the second end of the second conversion channel, widening the second conversion channel from a second preset position, wherein the widening is to widen the width of the surface of the second conversion channel provided with the ridge.
For example, the following steps are carried out: assuming that the surface of the first switching passage provided with the ridge is an a surface, the a surface is widened from a first preset position in a direction from the first end to the second end of the first switching passage at this time.
In an alternative example, as shown in fig. 5, when the cross section of the combining sub-channel is T-shaped, a V-shaped ridge is disposed at a T-shaped node of the combining sub-channel, and the V-shaped ridge is disposed along a depth direction to form a V-shaped gap of the combining sub-channel, wherein a ridge surface angle of the V-shaped ridge is 45 °.
In an alternative example, the second set of ridges gradually increases in ridge height from a third preset position in a direction extending from the common port toward the inside of the first channel until a ridge pitch of the second set of ridges becomes a first threshold value, wherein the first threshold value is a cross-sectional width of the through-port of the separation channel.
That is, as shown in fig. 4, the second set of ridges penetrates the third surface and the fourth surface of the separation channel, and starts to gradually increase the ridge height from the third preset position, so that after the separation channel subsequently separates two side openings, a straight opening with a length greater than the width is naturally formed. Wherein the third ridge and the fourth ridge gradually increase the ridge height starting from the third preset position, as shown in fig. 7, to structurally gradually compress the width dimension of the through opening.
In an alternative example, as shown in fig. 8, in a direction extending from the common port to the inside of the first channel, the second group of ridges gradually decreases in ridge width from a fourth preset position until the ridge widths of the second group of ridges all become a second threshold, where the second threshold is related to a frequency band corresponding to an ultra-wideband-ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), for example: the second threshold is larger for higher frequencies of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal-mode coupler (OMT).
It should be noted that: the ridge width and ridge height of the second set of ridges are simultaneously varied and the decrease increase process is initiated. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, 8 and 9, the third preset position and the fourth preset position may be the same position, and when the second group of ridges starts to gradually increase the ridge height, the group of ridges also starts to gradually decrease the ridge width at the same time.
It should be noted that: the ridge width and the ridge height of the second set of ridges simultaneously satisfy the preset conditions, and the decrease-increase process is stopped. As shown in fig. 7, 8 and 9 in particular, the second set of ridges gradually increases the ridge height and gradually decreases the ridge width from the same position; furthermore, the ridge height of the second group of ridges gradually meets the preset condition and is not increased, and meanwhile, the ridge width of the second group of ridges also gradually meets the preset condition and is not decreased; at this time, the ridge width and the ridge height of the second group of ridges are not changed when the preset conditions are satisfied at the same position.
In an alternative example, the separation channel starts to form two side ports after a ridge pitch between a first ridge and a second ridge included in the second group of ridges becomes a first threshold; and/or, after the ridge width of each ridge in the second group of ridges becomes a second threshold value, the separation channel starts to form two side openings.
That is, in this example of the present application, the separation channel may start to form two side ports after a ridge pitch between a third ridge and a fourth ridge included in the second group of ridges becomes a first threshold; or after the ridge width of each ridge in the second group of ridges becomes the second threshold value, the separation channel starts to form two side openings; alternatively, the separation channel may start to form two side openings after the ridge pitch between the third ridge and the fourth ridge included in the second group of ridges becomes the first threshold and the ridge width of each ridge in the second group of ridges becomes the second threshold.
Specifically, after the ridge distance of the second group of ridges becomes a first threshold, the ridge side walls of each ridge in the second group of ridges are gradually separated by a preset angle until the distance between the ridge side walls of each ridge becomes a third threshold; after the distance between the ridge side walls of each ridge becomes a third threshold value, the ridge side walls are correspondingly combined two by two and are changed into the side walls of two side openings of the separation channel; it should be noted that: the preset angle is preferably 45 °.
That is, as shown in fig. 4, the ridge sidewalls of the third ridge in the second set of ridges are gradually separated until they are transformed into partial sidewalls of the two side ports of the separation channel, and the ridge sidewalls of the fourth ridge in the second set of ridges are gradually separated until they are transformed into partial sidewalls of the two side ports of the separation channel. Assuming that the ridge side wall of the third ridge is a first ridge side wall and a second ridge side wall respectively, and the ridge side wall of the fourth ridge is a third ridge side wall and a fourth ridge side wall respectively, at this time, the first ridge side wall and the third ridge side wall are combined together from the side surface of the straight opening to form the side wall of one side opening, and the second ridge side wall and the fourth ridge side wall are combined together from the side surface of the straight opening to form the side wall of the other side opening.
In an optional example, after the ridge pitch of the second set of ridges becomes the first threshold value, the first side surface and the second side surface of the separation channel are right-angled to turn into the side walls of the two side ports of the separation channel, wherein the longitudinal sections of the first side surface and the second side surface are L-shaped.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, in the present application, after the distance between the third ridge and the fourth ridge becomes the first threshold, the first side surface and the second side surface of the separation channel start to turn at a right angle, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface of the separation channel may start to turn at a right angle after a preset length is passed, so that the width and the length of the cross section of the lateral port after turning satisfy a second preset condition, for example: the converted side cross-section had a width and length of 1.56mm and a length of 5.9 mm.
In an alternative example, the matching channel smoothes the straight opening of the separation channel into a standard rectangular opening based on a stepped structure, wherein the broadside dimension of each step in the stepped structure satisfies chebyshev anti-impedance transformation. In addition, the matching channel is right-angled at the first position, and a step structure is arranged outside the turning, wherein the step structure is arranged along the width direction of the turning, as shown in fig. 6.
To sum up, the common port in the ultra-wideband ridge-added orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) in the present application adopts a 4-ridge structure, and the design of all ridge waveguides is adopted at the mode separation position; further, the double-ridge waveguide is transited to the non-standard rectangular waveguide near the straight port, and the non-standard rectangular waveguide is transited to the standard rectangular waveguide through step impedance matching; the two branch side ports are transited from the single ridge waveguide to the non-standard rectangular waveguide. The four-ridge structure enables an ultra-wideband ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) to achieve wider working bandwidth and higher port isolation; the multi-octave is realized, the impedance matching is good, the isolation and the polarization purity are improved, and the processing difficulty is reduced.
In addition, the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) provided by the present application may be formed by splicing a plurality of components, that is, the plurality of components may be stacked and spliced to form the first channel.
It is worth noting that: each ridge in the ultra-wideband-ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) is completely arranged on at least one component, wherein the step of completely arranging each ridge on at least one component means that: it is assumed that an ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal-mode coupler (OMT) includes a first ridge, a second ridge, a third ridge, and a fourth ridge, where the first ridge is integrally disposed on one assembly, the second ridge is integrally disposed on one assembly, the third ridge is integrally disposed on one assembly, and the fourth ridge is integrally disposed on one assembly.
For example, the following steps are carried out: as shown in fig. 10 and 11, an ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) is provided with three sets of components, and the three sets of components are sequentially stacked to form a separation channel, a combining channel, and a matching channel, wherein a first ridge and a second ridge are completely disposed on the components of a target set, and the components of the target set are positioned in the middle after the three sets of components are sequentially stacked. And this mode of setting up has avoided the combination gap between the subassembly to set up on the ridge roof beam, and leads to the unable sealed condition emergence of merging of gap on the ridge roof beam effectively. As shown in fig. 12, if the combined gap between the components is formed in the ridge beam, based on the internal cavity structure of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), the ridge beam cannot be provided with a screw fastening component, so that the gap in the ridge beam cannot be effectively combined and sealed, and the reduction of the working stability of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) is further affected.
It should be noted that: the target set of components may be two, for example: the target set of components includes a first component and a second component arranged side-by-side, wherein the first ridge is disposed on the first component and the second ridge is disposed on the second component, as shown in particular in fig. 13. In addition, the width of the target group in the stacking direction may be the ridge height, the width of the first side/the second side, or any value larger than the ridge height, which is not particularly limited in the present application.
In addition, in the case where an ultra wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) is provided with three sets of components, the other sets of components than the target set are as shown in fig. 14 and 15.
In an optional example, in a case that the port shape of the common port does not match the port shape of the first antenna port, the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) further includes a port transition device, a third channel is disposed inside the port transition device, wherein a first transition port of the third channel is connected to the common port, and the port shape of the first transition port matches the port shape of the common port; a second transition port of the third channel is connected with a first antenna port of the radiation antenna, and the port shape of the second transition port is matched with the port shape of the first antenna port; and the third channel is used for smoothly transitioning the first transition port into the second transition port.
In another optional example, in a case that the port shape of the common port does not match the port shape of the first antenna port, the radiation antenna further includes a port transition device, which is provided with a third channel inside, wherein a first transition port of the third channel is connected to the common port of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), and the port shape of the first transition port matches the port shape of the common port; a second transition port of the third channel is connected with the first antenna port, and the port shape of the second transition port is matched with the port shape of the first antenna port; and the third channel is used for smoothly transitioning the first transition port into the second transition port.
That is, under the condition that the port shape of the common port is not matched with the port shape of the first antenna port, the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) may include a port transition device, so that the common port of the ultra-wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) may be smoothly transitioned into the port shape of the first antenna port of the radiation antenna, and then naturally connected with the first antenna port; the radiating antenna may also include a port transition device, so that the first antenna port of the radiating antenna may be smoothly transitioned into a port shape of a common port of an ultra wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT), and then naturally connected with the common port.
It should be noted that: the ultra wideband-ridged orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) comprises the same port transition means as the radiating antenna.
It should be noted that: in the present application, a common port of an ultra-wideband ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) is a square port, and therefore, if a port shape of a first antenna port of a radiation antenna is not matched with the square port, a port transition device needs to be configured in the ultra-wideband ridge orthogonal mode coupler (OMT) or the radiation antenna.
For example, the following steps are carried out: the port of the first antenna port of the radiation antenna is in a shape of a four-ridge round port, at the moment, the port of the first transition port of the port transition device is in a shape of a four-ridge square port, and the four-ridge square port is matched with the port of the public port in shape; and the port shape of the second transition port of the port transition device is a four-ridge round port, and the four-ridge round port is matched with the port shape of the first antenna port, wherein the four-ridge round port is a port shape in which four ridges with square cross sections are uniformly arranged on the inner wall of a circular port, as shown in fig. 16 and 17.
For example, the following steps are carried out: the port of the first antenna port of the radiation antenna is in a square port without a ridge, the port of the port transition device is in a square port with four ridges, and the square port with four ridges is matched with the port of the public port in shape; and the port shape of the second transition port is a first square port, and the first square port is matched with the port shape of the first antenna port, wherein the first square port is a square port whose inner wall is not provided with a ridge, as shown in fig. 18 and 19.
For example, the following steps are carried out: the port shape of a first antenna port of the radiation antenna is a circular port without a ridge, at the moment, the port shape of a first transition port of the port transition device is a square port with four ridges, and the square port with four ridges is matched with the port shape of the public port; and the port shape of the second transition port of the port transition device is a first round port, and the first round port is matched with the port shape of the first antenna port, wherein the first round port is a round port without a ridge on the inner wall.
It should be noted that: the above content in the present application is only exemplary, and does not limit the port transition manner, for example: in the case where the first transition port is a square port and the second transition port is a generally round port, the transition path may be as shown in fig. 20, that is: the first transition port may be a square port with a smaller side length, a square port with a larger side length, a common round port, or the like, which is not specifically limited by the applicant.

in an alternative example, as shown in fig. 27, the radiation antenna is divided into a transition portion and a bell-mouth surface portion along the transmission direction of electromagnetic waves, and the bell-mouth surface portion is provided with a plurality of grooves, wherein the grooves are concentric grooves provided on the top surface of the bell-mouth surface portion. Specifically, the plurality of concentric circular grooves are arranged on the periphery of the second antenna port at equal intervals.

Specifically, the plurality of annular grooves are sequentially arranged on the inner wall of the second channel side by side along the transmission direction of the electromagnetic waves.

Further, for the four-ridge corrugated horn shown in fig. 21 and 22, it should be further explained that:
in an alternative example, the channel diameter of the first antenna channel remains constant/increases gradually and/or the channel diameter of the second antenna channel remains constant/increases gradually in the direction from the first antenna port to the second antenna port.
That is, the channel diameter of the first antenna channel gradually increases and the channel diameter of the second antenna channel also gradually increases in the direction from the transition portion to the flare face portion; the channel diameter of the first antenna channel gradually increases in the direction from the transition portion to the flare face portion, while the channel diameter of the second antenna channel remains unchanged; the channel diameter of the first antenna channel remains constant while the channel diameter of the second antenna channel gradually increases in the direction from the transition portion to the flare face portion; the channel diameter of the first antenna channel remains constant in the direction of the transition portion to the flared face portion, and the channel diameter of the second antenna channel also remains constant.

For example, the following steps are carried out: as shown in fig. 30, 31, 32, at the position for mounting the ridge on the inner wall of the first channel, there is now provided a positioning groove. At this time, the ridge may be placed in the positioning groove so as to position-limit the ridge. It should be noted that: under the condition that the positioning groove is arranged on the inner wall of the transition part, the ridge height is still the height of the ridge side wall relative to the inner wall; that is, the ridge height does not include the height of the detent.
