Definitions

  • the invention relates to an illumination source radome for a telecommunications antenna.
  • the primary sources of illumination for telecommunication antenna used in particular in radio-relay systems and satellite links must be waterproof (protection against bad weather, dust, external agents, etc.); temperature variations between the different elements of a source cause, under certain pressure conditions, condensation on the walls of the source. The presence of water or foreign bodies as well as the corrosions consecutive to this phenomenon generate degradations of the radioelectric functioning.
  • the radiant horn an integral part of these sources, is protected on its opening by a film called radome; the entire source is pressurized and constitutes a closed enclosure.
  • the radome used must not disturb the operation of the horn (mismatch, influence on the radiation, polarization characteristics).
  • the present invention relates to a radome system designed to provide improved sealing of a radiating horn, while retaining the radioelectric properties of this horn.
  • radome ruptures are usually caused by aging of the radome in the sun, by significant variations in temperature, or by heavy hailstorms.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the invention proposes, for this purpose, an illumination source radome for telecommunication antenna comprising an external film and an internal film, the internal film being pierced with a small diameter hole, the two films being joined together at their periphery thanks to an external flange and a counter-flange disposed on either side of the first film, the counter-flange being disposed between the two films.
  • the films are joined to the flanges and counter flange by gluing so as to ensure a seal.
  • these different elements form a removable and interchangeable kit.
  • the films used are made of dielectrics combining good mechanical and climatic resistance which does not alter the radioelectric performance of the elements to be protected.
  • the flange 2 and the counter flange 3 are joined together, for example using screws 10.
  • a seal 8 for example an O-ring, to allow rapid change of the radome system.
  • a radome according to the invention was produced for the primary source of an antenna 16 meters in diameter, the horn of which, for example a corrugated horn, has a diameter of 507.5 millimeters.
  • the radome 6 thus formed is made integral with the source 7 using fixing means 11, for example screws.
  • the assembly as shown in FIG. 4 has been tested under the radioelectric aspect and under the climatic aspect with defrosting equipment based on a forced air circuit.
  • the hot air is conveyed on the surface of the outer film 1 by a toric nozzle 9 anti-icing that distributes it around the periphery of the horn opening 7.
  • the radome of the invention practically does not affect the copolarization and the counter-polarization proper to the horn.
