Definitions

  • the purpose of the invention is to significantly reduce the above drawbacks.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 are respectively a side diagram and a top diagram of an antenna transducer, the internal elements of which are shown by transparency.
  • This antenna transducer is designed to allow the operation of an antenna in transmission and in reception with a single access, E, for the transmission, a single access, R, for the reception and a common access, A, intended for be coupled to the primary source of an antenna by a polarizer.
  • the first polarization duplexer, 1, has a body constituted by a cylindrical guide, 10, with an internal diameter of 54 mm, one end of which constitutes the common access A and the other end of which is connected to the transition element 2.
  • This guide has two lateral polarization openings, constituted by rectangular holes of 7 mm by 58 mm, drilled in its wall, at the same level but at 90 ° from each other.
  • Two rectangular guides, 11, 12, of 7 mm by 58 mm open into these openings; they comprise adjustment adjustment screws, such as 18 and 19 and, at their end where they terminate in the cylindrical guide 10, a pair (16a, 16b) of resonant dipoles; these dipoles consist of metallic "T" s with a 10 mm horizontal bar.
  • the guide 12 has its end opposite to the cylindrical guide which constitutes the reception access, R, of the antenna transducer.
  • a resistive load 17 of conventional type is placed in the guide 11, at the end opposite to the cylindrical guide 10, a resistive load 17 of conventional type is placed; in the case of the example described, this charge is made of a material sold under the brand DISARAL.
  • FIG. 3 shows in particular how the filter 13 is mounted: this filter consists of a crossed metal dipole, 13b, deposited on a support dielectric, 13a, made of beryllium oxide, integral with the wall of the cylindrical guide 10 and perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves in this guide 10.
  • the dipole 13b has an overall dimension of .26 mm.
  • the transition element 2 is a guide in a circular truncated cone, the maximum internal diameter of which is 54 mm and the minimum internal diameter of 34 mm.
  • the second polarization duplexer according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a body constituted by a cylindrical guide, 30, with an internal diameter of 34 mm.
  • Two rectangular openings of 35 mm by 16 mm are drilled at 90 ° from each other in the side wall of the cylindrical guide 30.
  • In these openings terminate two rectangular guides, 31, 32, the internal section of which is 35 mm by 16 mm; the walls of the guides 31, 32 are crossed by adjustment adjustment screws, such as 34, 35.
  • a resistive load, 33, of the same type as the resistive load 17 is placed in the guide 32, on the side of the end of this guide opposite to the cylindrical guide 30.
  • the end of the guide 31 opposite the opening of the cylindrical guide 30 constitutes the emission access, E, of the transducer.
  • the antenna transducer according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is designed to operate in transmission with a frequency band included in the 6 GHz band (that is to say the band going from 5.925 to 6.425 GHz) and in reception with a frequency band in the 4 GHz band (i.e. the band from 3.7 to 4.2 GHz).
  • This antenna transducer operates as shown below.
  • the quasi-optical filters 13, 14, 15 have been designed to behave like short circuits for "reception” waves (4 GHz) and to let “emission” waves (6 GHz) pass.
  • the first short-circuit plane being placed 19 mm from the opening where the guide 12 terminates, that is to say approximately ⁇ / 4 ( ⁇ : average wavelength in the reception band), the energy of the "reception” waves reflected by this short circuit is summed in phase, when it arrives in the guide 12, with the energy "reception” which arrives directly in this guide, the path difference being in fact twice JL / 4 or ⁇ / 2.
  • the “T” dipoles, placed in the lateral openings of the guide 10 are calculated to resonate at the average emission frequency, they therefore constitute short circuits for the "emission” waves. These dipoles thus make it possible to perfect the emission-reception decoupling of the quasi-optical filters by letting the "reception” waves pass and by rejecting the "emission” waves.
  • the load 17 it plays the role of a "mode absorber” for the cross polarization with respect to that received, due to parasitic reflections.
  • transition element "round guide-round guide", 2 allows a gradual passage from the section of the polarization duplexer 1 to the section of the polarization duplexer 3.
  • the resistive load 33 placed in the lateral guide 32 of the polarization duplexer 3 plays the role of a "mode absorber" for the polarization crossed with respect to that emitted.
  • This cross polarization arises by parasitic reflections at the level of the radiating part of the antenna: on the sub-reflector in the case, for example, of a Cassegrain antenna and at the level of the antenna horn.
  • the transmitted wave initially rectilinear in the polarization duplexer 3 becomes circular, for example right circular after passing through the polarization coupling to the antenna, then is transformed into left circular polarization after reflection. It then returns to the polarizer and returns to the polarization duplexer 1 with a reverse polarization from its original polarization.
  • This reverse polarization wave if it was not absorbed by the resistive load 17, would deteriorate the ellipticity rate because it would be reflected on the short circuit formed by the optical-quay filters and would be sent to the radiating part of the antenna with a certain phase shift on the original wave.
  • the transducer In combination with a polarizer and a horn with a low ellipticity rate, that is to say much less than 0.5 dB, the transducer which has just been described makes it possible to obtain a primary source with high purity of polarization. : less than 0.5 db.
  • This transducer was initially designed for antennas of earth stations of the Cassegrain type or with illumination by the hearth, these antennas being able to be moreover with symmetry of revolution or not.
  • FIG. 5 shows such an antenna.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows a Cassegrain antenna with symmetry of revolution, seen in section, with its horn 40, its hyperboloidal sub-reflector 41 and its main reflector 42 of paraboloidal shape; a polarizer 43, the role of which is to transform a field with rectilinear polarization into a field with circular polarization and vice versa, couples the radiating part of the antenna, 40, 41, 42, to an antenna transducer, 44, according to Figures 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment of an antenna transducer according to the invention is given in FIG. 4.
  • the antenna transducer shown in this figure is an antenna transducer with two transmission ports E ,, E z and two pairs reception access R, R '"R 2 R' 2 .
