Definitions
- the main object of the invention is a reflective phase control network, an antenna comprising such a network and a method for its manufacture.
- Such a network makes it possible to locally modify the phase of a wave, for example planar or cylindrical reflecting on it.
- Such an array makes it possible to focus and / or divert the electromagnetic energy beams from an antenna by electronic scanning.
- each module includes an elementary antenna and a phase shifter closed on a short circuit.
- a wave whose beam we want to direct is emitted by a microwave source towards the network.
- the wave is picked up by the elementary antennas, and undergoes a first phase shift when crossing the phase shifters is reflected on the short circuits again crosses the phase shifters and is radiated by the elementary antennas;
- control of the phase of the transmitted wave is available at any point in the network.
- Such networks are described by F. GAUTIER in "Reflective network” Revue TH-CSF March 1972, vol.4 N ° 1 pages 89 to 104 and by Olivier and Knittel in "Phased arrays antennas” Artech House, page 23.
- Such a set which corresponds to the preamble of the main claim, is for example exposed in an article by JA SALMON et al., Entitled “An X-Band Reflect-Array with Integrated PIN Diodes", 1974 International IEEE / AP-S Symposium Program 8 Digest, June 10-12, 1974, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia.
- Reactive impedances are dipoles with two branches connected by at least one diode. Depending on the passing or blocked state of the diodes the dipoles reflect a more or less large part of the incident waves.
- phase-shifting modules capable of working in the millimeter bands.
- the modules must be of small dimensions, less than the wavelength; the network must include a very large number.
- the present invention proposes to produce the known structure with the characteristics set out in its characterizing part of claim 1, thus making it possible to achieve an entirely monolithic embodiment of the phase shifter network.
- FIG. 1 is illustrated one of the principles in themselves known implemented in a device according to the invention.
- a variable reactive impedance 1 On the two supply wires 3 is placed at a distance d from a short circuit 2 a variable reactive impedance 1. If the value of reactive impedance 1 corresponds to a short circuit for an incident signal this signal will be reflected on said reactive impedance 1. On the other hand, if reactive impedance 1 is adapted to the signal it will let it pass. The signal will then be reflected on the short circuit 2. Thus, there is a phase shift between the signal reflected by reactive impedance 1 and the signal reflected by short-circuit 2. Depending on the setting value of reactive impedance 1 it reflects a more or less significant part of the incident signal. the signals reflected on reactive impedance 1 and on short circuit 2 combine. Thus, the device illustrated in FIG. 1 makes it possible to obtain the phase shift ⁇ between maximum, the intermediate values depending on the value of the impedance.
- each reactive impedance 1 is constituted for example by a dipole 4, the two branches of which are connected by a diode 6.
- the diode 6 is for example a diode with variable capacitance.
- a plurality of diodes with two states connected in series between the two branches of a dipole 4 are used.
- the diodes with two states are for example PIN diodes.
- Each of the diodes can be controlled individually. With two diodes of the same capacity, per dipole, three possible phase shift values are obtained. With two diodes of different capacitance, four possible phase shift values are obtained.
- the diodes with continuously variable capacity are for example varicaps or varactors.
- the reflector 2 is constituted by a metal plate placed at a distance close to dipoles 4.
- the electric lines 28 are connected by a capacitor 5.
- each of the reactive impedances 1 allows deflection in the site plane and in the bearing plane of the waves which illuminate the network according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment, according to the teachings of the invention, of the principle illustrated with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the supply line 7 connecting, for example, the lower branches of the dipoles 4 is connected to ground 8.
- the supply line 7 connecting, for example, the upper branches of the dipoles 4 is connected to a voltage source 9.
- the voltage source 9 is capable of delivering, for example, voltages varying between + 1V and -20V.
- a capacitor 52 connects the two supply lines 7 and thus makes it possible to decouple the dipoles 4 from the microwave field.
- it is ensured to have stable impedance conditions at the terminals of the microwave circuit.
- the value of the capacity of this decoupling capacitor is limited, for PIN diodes, by the switching time of the diodes.
- the reflector 2 is formed by the ground plane of the printed circuit.
- a network composed of a combination of the devices illustrated in FIG. 3 will only allow scanning and / or focusing of electromagnetic waves in a single plane.
- the coupling elements 4, the control diodes 6 and the cables 7 are produced on the same semiconductor substrate 11 by means of monolithic integration techniques.
- these identical reactive elements are arranged on a regular mesh, for example rectangular or triangular, with a pitch close to on a semiconductor substrate 11.
- the integration technology is used on a whole slice (Wafer Scale Integration or WSI in English terminology).
- WSI Wafer Scale Integration
- large slices for example four or five inches (10.16 cm or 12.7 cm)
- we arrive for example equal to 3.2 mm, to be produced in a single operation of the order of thousand of the reactive element.
- Such an antenna has the advantage of a reduced cost price.
- the dimensions of the diode carrier chip are of the order of 0.5 mm, which for a permeability substrate of the order of 12 corresponds to half the wavelength for a frequency of 100 GHz.
- the chip carrying the diode 6 is by itself a significant element of the circuit.
- the manufacturing dispersions of this chip and its wiring can make it impossible to produce an antenna by techniques other than monolithic integration techniques.
- the chips carrying the diode 6 are too large for a periodic circuit whose mesh is approximately 1.5 mm and which in certain cases comprises a plurality of diodes.
- Planar technology is used for the realization of the network according to the invention.
- the face of the substrate 11 opposite the coupling elements 4 and the supply metallizations comprises a ground plane 12.
- the ground plane 12 ensures the mechanical strength and the cooling of the network according to the invention. If the thickness e of the substrate 11 is too small, for example for frequencies below 35 GHz, a dielectric is interposed between the ground plane 12 and the substrate 11. This solution is illustrated in FIG. 5.
- the semiconductor substrate 11 is made integral with a dielectric 120, for example a low loss dielectric.
- the dielectric 120 is for example made of polyethylene tetrafluoride (PTFE) or a composite material adapted to the wavelength.
- the dielectric 120 is made integral with a metal plate 12 parallel to the metallizations of the substrate 11. The distance e between the metallizations of the semiconductor substrate 11 and the plate 12 is substantially equal to a quarter of the weighted wavelength on the two dielectrics.

- the two diodes 6 connecting the metallized strip 70 below the central metallized strip 70 are replaced in each mesh by a single diode 6, the capacity of which is equal, for example, to the sum of the capacities of the diodes 6 that it replaces.
- the total capacity, in each mesh, connecting the metallized strip 70 lower than the central metallized strip 70 is different from the capacity of the diode 6 connecting the metallized strip 70 higher than the central metallized strip 70 .
- the direction of polarization of the diodes can be reversed as long as the supply voltages are also reversed.
- the lower and upper metallized strips 70 are connected to ground, the central metallized strip 70 being connected to a voltage generator capable of delivering voltages between + 1 V and - 20V.

- the diodes connecting the ban metallized 70J to the metallized strip 70K and the diodes connecting the metallized strips 70L to the metallized strip 70K are on the same abscissa.
- the different coupling states must be spaced out over 360 as regularly as possible.
