Definitions
- the invention relates to a rotationally symmetrical two-reflector microwave directional antenna with low sidelobe levels of the radiation pattern in predetermined spatial areas using a main reflector, a subreflector illuminating the main reflector, which adversely affects the sub-zipper field attenuation, and an opening arranged between the main reflector apex and the sub-primary reflector , wherein the aperture assignment is designed toroidally in such a way that it drops both towards the main reflector and the sub-reflector edge, starting from an intermediate maximum.
- Directional antennas have a wide range of applications in the field of radio technology, in particular directional radio technology and satellite radio. In most applications, such directional antennas require good attenuation of the side lobes. With directional antennas for satellite ground stations, for example, interference from terrestrial directional radio networks can be reduced. Terrestrial directional radio links can be meshed more closely when using antennas with low lobes. However, the increasingly dense occupation of the satellite synchronous orbit by communications satellites and the ever increasing networking of terrestrial microwave links lead to the fact that the microwave antennas used on the ground interfere with neighboring radio links more or are more disturbed by them themselves. Such antennas should therefore have improved sub-zip attenuation in future.
- EP-A1-136 817 it is known to provide a shielding ring which has an absorbing surface in the case of rotationally symmetrical two-mirror microwave directional antennas at the edge of the sub-reflector. This reduces sub-lobe levels by absorbing the spill-over energy from the primary horn and by reducing the scattered radiation at the sub-reflector edge.
- the shielding ring coated with absorber material is shaped as a continuous axial projection, which extends from the sub-reflector edge in the direction of the main reflector and runs essentially parallel to the horn axis.
- the object of the invention is to provide measures for a two-reflector microwave directional antenna of the type mentioned at the outset, so that the sidelobe-increasing effect of an insufficient lowering of the subreflector stray field in the central region near the axis can be effectively reduced.
- this object is achieved in that the sub-reflector is concavely curved in accordance with the Gregory principle, that the edge at the opening of the primary horn is covered by absorber material, and / or that the sub-reflector is covered all around by absorber material in an edge zone, which extends over about a third of the subreflector radius, starting from the edge, so that the subreflector stray field towards the edge of the primary horn emitter has a certain low radiation level of about - 8 dBi, in the direction of the projection of the subreflector edge into the main reflector a certain low radiation level of about - 6 dBi and in the direction of the main reflector edge does not exceed a certain low radiation level of about - 10 dBi, which leads to an amplitude profile of the aperture field which has a maximum approximately in the middle between the sub and main reflector edge and both in the direction of the main as a uch of the subreflector edge gradually drops to levels of - 15 dB
- the measures specified by the invention are particularly advantageous if they are applied to antennas whose main reflector has an aperture diameter of approximately 200 wavelengths or less. These are usually smaller antennas.
- the sub-reflector is expediently held by a plurality of supports which are attached to the outside of the sub-reflector and whose base points lie in the region of the main reflector edge. Illumination by the subreflector is then largely avoided.
- the supports can be straight or curved.
- the edge zone of the subreflector is advantageously milled out, the absorber material with the appropriate contour being inserted into the milled out.
- the absorber material for covering the edge of the primary horn as well as the subreflector edge zone suitably consists of a weatherproof material.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a rotationally symmetrical two-directional microwave directional antenna with a main reflector 1, a subreflector 2 that illuminates the main reflector 1 and is concavely curved according to the Gregory principle, and one with its opening between the apex of the main reflector 1 and the apex of the sub-reflector 2 arranged primary horn radiator 3.
- the primary horn radiator 3 is fed via a hollow line 4, which is led out through an apex opening of the main reflector 1 to the rear.
- the sub-reflector 2 is held by four X-shaped straight supports 5, the base points of which lie in the region of the edge of the main reflector 1.
- the sub-reflector 2 and the supports 5 are necessarily in the beam path of the main reflector 1 and thereby cause interference, which is reflected in a deterioration of the side lobe characteristics. If the primary horn 3 is still relatively close to the subreflector 2, additional disturbances are to be expected, which do not allow the secondary lobe specifications to be met, at least in the wide-angle range.
- a beam from the primary horn 3 to the edge 7 of the sub-reflector 2 with 10 a beam from the sub-reflector 2 to the edge 6 of the primary horn 3, with 11
- Beam from the subreflector 2 to the main reflector 1 and 12 denotes a beam from the subreflector 2 to the edge 8 of the main reflector 1.
- the beam 9 describes the radiation and diffraction effects at the subreflector 2.
- the beam 12 describes the radiation and the edge diffraction at the main reflector 1.
- the beam 11 describes the reflection from the main reflector 1 onto the subreflector edge 7.
- the dominant source of interference is the secondary scattered radiation from the subreflector 2 illuminated primary horn 3, which is caused by the beam 10.
- the main reflector 1 and the subreflector 2 are designed according to the invention so that the subreflector stray field indicated by the beam 10 towards the edge 6 of the primary horn emitter has a certain low radiation level of, for example, -8 dBi, the subreflector scatter field indicated by the beam 11 in the direction of the projection of the sub-reflector edge 7 in the main reflector 1 does not exceed a certain low radiation level of, for example, -6 dBi, and the sub-reflector stray field indicated by the beam 12 in the direction of the main reflector edge 8 does not exceed a certain low radiation level of, for example, -10 dBi.
- Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a grooved primary horn 3, which is covered at the front at its edge 6 at the opening with a ring made of absorber material 13.
- the absorber material 13 is graphitized polyurethane foam with a weatherproof impregnated textile fabric skin or a weatherproof, absorbent rubber mat.
- Fig. 4 shows a subreflector 2, which is covered all around in an edge zone by absorber material 15.
- the edge zone covered by the absorber material 15 extends over about a third of the sub-reflector radius R, starting from the edge.
- the edge zone of the sub-reflector 2 is milled out.
- the absorber material 15 with a suitable contour profile 16 is inserted into the cutout 14.
- a smooth surface profile is obtained, which has more favorable properties with regard to snow and ice build-up as well as contamination than an absorber that was subsequently glued on, e.g. a rubber mat.
