Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electronic scanning device for focusing and / or deflecting in a plane, a beam emitted by a microwave source. It is known, as described in French Patent 2,063,967, to change the phase shift of a beam emitted by a radiating microwave source by interposing on the wave path a dielectric panel in which are embedded arrays of conductive wires that the 'we give back. at will continuous or interrupted by means of switches and in particular of drodes placed on these wires, the networks being located in planes parallel to the electric field of the incident wave at each point of the panel, It is also known to add several panels one behind the other on the path of the microwave incidence wave.
- the electronic scanning device according to the invention allows scanning in a plane parallel to the electric field of the incident wave. It consists of a new application of the dielectric panels described in French patent 2,063,967, To constitute the electronic scanning device conforming to the object of the invention, as shown in FIG. 1, several dielectric panels (1 a, 1 b, 1 c, etc.) are associated in which planar networks of conductive wires (2) which can be made continuous or discontinuous at will by means of diodes (3) placed on these wires, fac .
- the wires of all the networks are parallel to the electric field vector (4) of the incident wave, emitted by a radiating-microwave source (6), that in each of the panels all the diodes are controlled simultaneously 'and identically by a sufficient voltage to make them at will conductive or not, applied to the terminals of the control wires (5) perpendicular to the electric field, therefore without effect on it, that all the panels [1 a, 1 b, 1 c ...) are superimposed in the same plane to constitute a set through which the incident wave propagates.
- the incident wave can be broken down into as many bands parallel ⁇ it has superimposed panels,
- the phase shift introduced is uniform on each strip, it can vary from one strip to another.
- This phase shift according to the bands and this by acting on the control voltage of the diodes in each panel; one can either focus or deflect the incident wave in the plane parallel to the wires carrying diodes.
- the choice of the size of the panels in the direction of the direction of the diode carrying wires results from the condition of suppression of the lobes of networks of the antenna diagram constituted by the association of the above panels illuminated by an incident plane wave.
- phase shifting elements in order to spot the beam of a microwave electromagnetic wave in a direction ⁇ it is known that to avoid the appearance of lobes of networks, it is advisable to respect a certain relationship between the pitch of the elements phase shifters, wavelength, sine of the angle l'angle of depointing and of number N of juxtaposed elements, which is written:
- the lateral dimension in the direction perpendicular to the diode-carrying wires depends on the width of the main lobe desired and is sufficient to intercept the diameter of the microwave beam emitted by the source placed in front of the panel.
- the pitch of the diodes, the pitch of the wires and the thickness of the dielectric material are chosen as a function of the desired phase shift, of the characteristics (in particular capacitance) of the diodes, of the dielectric constant of the material and of the wavelength of the incident electromagnetic energy.
- the optimal value of the step of the phase-shifting elements sought in all the antennas a. electronic scanning is close to the half-wavelength of the radiated microwave energy. It is known that for a pitch of phase-shifting elements less than or equal to the half-wavelength of the radiated microwave energy, there does not appear any grating lobe in the radiation diagram of the antenna thus formed, whatever or the desired scanning angle. Unlike electronic scanning antennas using phase shifters guide, the process following the invention easily allows this condition to be met. say that one can choose the height h of a panel measured 'in the direction of the wires carrying diodes less than or equal to half --- wavelength of the microwave energy radiated by the microwave source (see figure 1),
- the length of the wires carrying diodes incorporated in the dielectric material is equal to the height h of the panel therefore less than or equal to the half-wavelength of the radiated microwave energy, if it is desired that it does not appear no network lobes in the radiation pattern.
- the number of diodes carried by each diode carrying wire of a panel will be small, it may vary, depending on the capacity of the selected diodes and the desired phase shift, from 1 to 10 diodes.
- the difference in potential to be applied to the wire carrying diodes connected in the same direction on this wire, so that each diode is blocked and makes the wire electrically cut into sections, is equal to the product, by the number of diodes, of the voltage which 'You must apply the opposite to a single diode, i.e. around 20 volts, so that it is blocked. If, for example, four diodes are placed on the wire, the potential difference aiix terminals of the diode-carrying wire necessary to make it cut into sections will be 80 volts. A voltage of 5 volts applied according to the polarity opposite to the wire terminals will make this wire continuous.
- the inyerse voltage of the order of 80 volts is low enough not to require any special insulation in the panel or at. the outside of the panel; the single power supply device and the switch, responsible for supplying these voltages, applying them and then cutting them in very short times (10 microseconds) to a panel will therefore be extremely easy to achieve given the low voltage required with regard to voltages required in other scanning devices.
- the control voltage of the diodes of a panel is advantageously applied by means of two control wires connecting one, all the upper ends of the wires carrying diodes mounted in the same direction, the other all the ends.
- control wires one connecting all the midpoints of the wires diode torers mounted in this case in two equal groups of opposite directions, the other two connecting at an outside point to the panel the upper and lower ends of all the diode carrying wires of the panel; these control wires, perpendicular to the wires carrying diodes and therefore to the electric field vector of the radiated microwave wave have no effect thereon.
- the configuration, comprising three control wires, greatly simplifies the choice of diodes.

- the upper ends of the wires (14) are connected to a metal wire (16) located at the top of each of the sheets (11) and (13), perpendicular to the wires (14) and are thus connected to the terminal A of a voltage and / or current supply located outside the panel and specific to this panel.
- the lower ends of the wires (14) are connected by metallic wires to the same terminal A of this voltage and / or current supply.
- All the points located in the middle of the wires (14) of the sheets (11) and (13) are connected and connected together, by a metal wire (18) of 0.5 millimeter in diameter, perpendicular to the wires (14), to the 'other terminal 3 of the same voltage and / or current supply.
- the differential phase shift caused by this panel, on the incident microwave, between the two polarity states of terminals A and B of the power supply device controlling the 256 diodes of the panel simultaneously and identically, is 20 degrees.
- FIG. 5 shows one of the 31 panels of the fourth layer of the active lens; this panel, 1 meter long and 45.3 millimeters high, comprises four sheets of dielectric material (21) (22) (23) (24).
- the sheets (21) and (24) have a thickness of 3 millimeters and a dielectric constant of 5, the sheets (22) and (23) have a thickness of 0.5 millimeters and a dielectric constant of 4.1.
