Definitions
- the present invention relates to aerials comprising an excitation device in circular mode.
- the wave propagation mode is a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode.
- the wave propagation mode in a guide is a transverse electric (TE) or transverse magnetic (TM) mode.
- the preferred excitation mode of a circular waveguide is the circular mode (TE 11 or TM 11).
- the first solution consists first of all in carrying out an electrical coupling.
- This coupling makes it possible to pass from the TEM mode to the TE 10 mode in rectangular guide. It is then necessary to perform a coupling by transition to switch to TE 11 mode (rectilinear) in circular guide. It is then necessary to switch from TE 11 mode to a circular mode.
- This coupling is generally carried out by a polarization rotator of the iris or dielectric plate type.
- the second solution is to attack the circular guide by two probes arranged perpendicularly. They are supplied by waves of equal amplitude phase shifted transmitted by a microwave line.
- the phase shift can be carried out before the supply of the probes, in this case the probes are located in the same plane. It can be done in the guide by an offset of the probes of a length equal to where ⁇ g is the wavelength guided.
- the two known solutions are generally complex and the excitation devices obtained are bulky, in particular in the case of the first solution.
- the polarization rotator In both cases of the second solution, the polarization rotator must be supplied by two channels of the same power. It is therefore necessary to use a power divider capable of distributing the energy equally on each channel.
- phase shifter is generally used to phase the probes supplying the guide.
- a third drawback is added concerning the bandwidth of the device, since it is generally narrow and therefore unsuitable for many applications requiring a very wide band.
- a known solution makes it possible to widen the bandwidth. It consists in using a waveguide of the "double orthogonal ridge" type. Such a guide is machined so that it has longitudinal recesses which give a grooved shape to the section of the guide. The manufacture of such guides is of course more complex than that of ordinary guides and therefore more expensive.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and proposes an aerial comprising a circular polarization waveguide exciter device comprising a one-way circular polarization radiation antenna supplied directly by a microwave line, this antenna having dimensions suitable for that the radiation emitted excites the guide, and the pass band of the guide being very wide since it is no longer limited except by the cut-off frequency of the guide.
- the invention therefore relates to an aerial comprising a waveguide excitation device in circular polarization mainly characterized in that it comprises a microwave power supply line traversed by an electromagnetic transverse wave, a waveguide and a radiant element powered by the line and able to radiate a wave exciting the guide in circular polarization.
- the waveguide excitation device in circular mode shown in FIG. 1 makes it possible to pass directly from a transverse electromagnetic mode TEM which is the conventional propagation mode in microwave lines, to a guided mode in circular polarization.
- This device comprises a circular guide 1 with a longitudinal axis XX ′ and a diameter D determined as a function of the desired cutoff wavelength ⁇ C.
- One end 2 which will be termed an inlet is placed in front of a radiating element 3, the other end 4 which will be termed an outlet is open.
- the radiating element 3 is constituted by an antenna emitting unidirectional radiation in circular polarization when it is supplied by an electromagnetic transverse wave.
- the supply is carried out by means of a microwave line 5.
- Line 5 can be a coaxial line , or two-wire or microstrip.
- the excitation antenna 3 therefore emits a wave with circular polarization in the direction of the opening 4.
- a cavity 6 placed against the antenna 3 upstream thereof and in the extension of the guide constitutes a reflective plane making it possible to obtain unidirectional radiation from the antenna 3.
- FIG. 2 represents an exemplary embodiment of a radiating element 3 in circular polarization. It is a classic logarithmic double spiral antenna; an Archimedes spiral or a multi-spiral may also be suitable.
- the antenna is produced from an expansion center 0 and an expansion rate! given. The supply is carried out from points A and B, the two arms of the antenna are supplied in phase opposition to obtain a maximum field in the direction XX '.
- the antenna is placed in front of the reflective plane 6 shown in FIG. 1 to radiate unidirectionally. The length of an arm fixes the lowest frequency, while the width AB fixes the highest frequency. The bandwidth of this type of antenna is very wide.
- FIG. 3 represents another exemplary embodiment of a radiating element 3. It is a helical antenna whose dimensions are chosen so that it radiates axially in circular polarization. The conditions to be respected for the choice of the length, the diameter and the pitch of each turn in order to obtain a unidirectional radiation are known.
- a reflector is not essential to obtain the unidirectional effect, but it is necessary for the adaptation of the supply line 5.
- the antenna 3 can for example be supplied by a coaxial line 5 whose sheath is joined to reflector 6.
- the dimensions of the antennas are compatible with those of the guide that they excite so that all of the radiation takes place inside the guide without attenuation.
- the wavelengths must therefore be less than the cut-off wavelength ⁇ C , which leads to a pass band f C - f M , fM depending only on the excitation antenna 3.
- ⁇ C cut-off wavelength
- a helix pitch S is chosen such that it is less than ( ⁇ o corresponding to f o , central frequency of the band), as well as a diameter D H such that the length of the circumference C H is between 0.7 ⁇ o and 1.7 ⁇ o, D H being consequently between 0.22 ⁇ o and 0.45 ⁇ o. It follows from this choice that the phase shift between radiating points located identically on adjacent turns achieves the condition of longitudinal radiation, which makes it possible to obtain a maximum of radiation in the axis XX '. We see as in the previous case that D H is always less than D.
- FIG. 4 shows the aerial and its waveguide excitation device.
- the aerial as shown in this figure is seen in section.
- the radiating element 3 is constituted by a logarithmic double spiral antenna printed on a substrate for example.
- the support of this radiating element 3 can also serve as a support for micro-electronic components for particular applications. Indeed, it is easy to place a detector diode between points A and B of the double spiral and thus to perform the detection function on reception. PIN diodes can be placed between the two arms, slightly separated from the center to modulate the signal received by the antenna. It is also possible to place capacitors in series on each arm between the center and the PIN diodes allowing decoupling between the modulation current and the detected voltage.
- connection device 7 is placed at the rear of the cavity 6. It makes it possible to connect a coaxial line 5 to the excitation antenna 3.
- the connection device 7 comprises a coaxial socket 8 and an adapter 9 making it possible to pass progressively from a coaxial line to a microstrip then two-wire line.
- the two-wire line directly feeds the exciting antenna at points A and B.
- the antenna 3 is loaded at its ends 10 by an absorbent 11 plated on the support circuit of the antenna to absorb the non-radiated energy.
- the outlet 4 of the guide thus constitutes a radiating opening.
- a metal disc 12 has been interposed at the entrance of the guide and at its center at a distance d close to of the exciting antenna, ⁇ o corresponding to the wavelength of the central frequency f of the working bandwidth of the aerial.
- FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment according to Figure 4.
- the aerial seen in section is identical to that of Figure 4 with the difference that the guide is filled with a dielectric material 13 whose dielectric constant is greater than 1
- the medium in which the waves propagate is modified and makes it possible to reduce the dimensions of the guide.
- the shape of the dielectric at the right of the mouth is chosen so as to respond to the radiation pattern that has been imposed. This shape is also chosen so as to obtain an aerodynamics compatible with the installation of the aerial.
- This figure shows a dielectric antenna in the form of a cone which is perfectly compatible with installation on an aircraft for example.
- the aerial shown in Figure 5 has the advantage of having the same characteristics as that shown in Figure 4 while having a reduced footprint because the dimensions of the guide are reduced.
- This variant also has the advantage of obtaining protection against external stresses on the guide and thus ensuring the same functions as those of a radome.
- the aerial according to the invention comprises a device excitation of waveguide in circular polarization space-saving which allows the direct passage from a transverse electromagnetic polarization mode to a circular polarization mode and which allows waves in circular and broadband polarization.
- a radiating element 3 is used in circular polarization which excites the waveguide in circular mode and which is supplied by a microwave line 5 in which the propagation mode is transverse electromagnetic. Therefore, the bandwidth of the device is determined by the bandwidth of the exciting antenna 3 on the one hand and the cutoff frequency of the guide on the other hand.
- the opening of the guide serves as a radiating element and the guide serves as a high-pass filter. In the case where the radiating element 3 is a double spiral antenna, this antenna can be used as a support for micro-electronic components.
