Definitions
- This invention relates to broadband antennas and, more specifically, to broadband antennas of compact size which are capable of receiving or transmitting multi-polarized electromagnetic radiation.
- Antennas are often required to receive or transmit electromagnetic radiation over several octaves of bandwidth while maintaining uniform radiation pattern and impedance characteristics within the operating band.
- Antennas of this type have been well known in the art for many years and include log periodic and spiral radiating structures. Often however, the polarization of the received electromagnetic signal is unknown and a conventional log periodic or spiral antenna may not respond to the sense of polarization being transmitted. The problem of responding to transmitted signals over a broad band for any sense of polarization (i.e. vertical, horizontal, left hand circular or right hand circular) is difficult and has not been completely solved in the prior art.
- a common failure mode of cavity backed antennas which are fed at the central feedpoint with a transmission line positioned on the antenna axis is that of mechanical separation between the antenna and transmission line.
- the failure usually occurs when the antenna is subjected to environmental stress such as thermal cycling or vibration.
- environmental stress such as thermal cycling or vibration.
- the thin circular antenna substrate which is permanently attached to the cavity at its perimeter, acts as a diaphragm and moves up and down at the center (feed point region) due to thermal cycling and vibration. When this movement occurs, the antenna pulls loose from the transmission line attached to the central feedpoint, resulting in complete electrical failure.
- the present invention eliminates this problem because the antenna transmission line is attached at the perimeter of the antenna (diaphragm) where there is no movement between the antenna and the feeding transmission line and, thus, there is far less stress at the antenna/feed connection interface.
- the present invention provides, the above noted desired properties of a broadband unidirectional antenna response, independent of polarization, with concomitant freedom from mechanical feedpoint failure.
- the interleaved log periodic elements are etched on a dielectric substrate and placed over an absorber loaded cavity backing to provide unidirectional broadband performance similar to that of a cavity backed planar spiral antenna.
- the log periodic elements are preferably, but not limited to, a copper etched circuit and the dielectric (electrically insulating) substrate is preferably, but not limited to Fiberglas or teflon glass (e.g. Duroid type 5880).
- the interleaved log periodic elements are in the form of circular arcs to efficiently utilize the available space in the circular aperture.
- tau R (n+1) /R n as shown in Figure 1.
- the degree of interleaving is controlled by an angle alpha wherein, as alpha increases, interleaving becomes greater.
- the sigma symbol in FIGURE 1 controls individual element width.
- the term w is the width of the transmission line transporting RF energy to and from each of the radiating elements of the antenna wherein change in w will change the impedance of the transmission line.
- the antenna in accordance with the present invention is connected to the feeding transmission line at the antenna perimeter rather than at the central antenna feedpoint as is common for other cavity backed broadband antennas, including that of the nearest known prior art described in DuHamels patent No. 4,658,262. This offers a distinct reliability advantage.
- baluns are an integral part of the etched antenna substrate and replace the need for two separate Marchand baluns as described in DuHamel's patent 4,658,262.
- baluns are connected to a coaxial line which transports the received signal to the printed circuit 90 degree hybrid located at the base region of the antenna. The outputs of the 90 degree hybrid provide left hand circular and right hand circular polarized ports.
- the outputs may be taken directly off of the balun ports without need for the 90 degree hybrid.
- the antenna has multiple polarized capability for a single radiating aperture.
- the switch in the described embodiment consists of a PIN diode type commonly available from a microwave component supplier such as M/A-COM Semiconductor Products of Burlington, Massachusetts 01803.
- antenna radiating aperture interleaved log periodic dipole elements
- polarization processor printed circuit infinite baluns, 90 degree hybrid with coaxial interface
- absorber loaded antenna cavity and polarization selection switch are housed in a single housing.
- the basic functional components of the antenna assembly are shown in Figure 5 and consist of: (1) the interleaved log periodic radiating aperture with integral printed circuit infinite baluns which are part of the polarization processor, (2) absorber loading consisting of: (a) the absorber loaded antenna cavity for broadband unidirectional pattern performance, and (b) the termination absorber around the antenna perimeter for enhanced low frequency performance, (3) the polarization processor consisting of: (a) the printed circuit infinite baluns (integral to the radiating structure) and (b) the 90 degree hybrid and (4) the antenna housing and radome cover.
- the polarization processor provides appropriate antenna feedpoint excitations, see Figures 3(a) and 3(b), at the four antenna feedpoints located at the center of the radiating aperture. These excitations require equal amplitude at all four antenna feedpoints and sequential phase progressions in increments of 90 degrees for both clockwise and counter clockwise rotations. This excitation provides both left hand and right hand circular polarized antenna outputs from the 90 degree hybrid.
- the antenna assembly is housed in a metallic cup shaped housing and covered with a dielectric (Fiberglas) radome for environmental protection.
- FIG. 1 there is shown the geometry which describes a printed circuit log periodic structure.
- Log periodic antennas are discussed in greater detail in the literature, e.g. Antenna Handbook by Y.T. Lo and S.W. Lee, Chapter 9, Frequency Independent Antennas, 1988 Van Nostrand Reinhold Co. Inc.
- the log periodic geometry is used to lay out an antenna by first defining an antenna element within a single cell, (e.g., between R1 and r1 and between alpha equal to zero and alpha).
- the same configuration of conductor, properly scaled by the constant scale factor tau is then reproduced in the other cells. If this process is repeated infinitely many times for smaller cells, the resulting geometry will converge to a point. Likewise, infinite repetition of the larger cells will cause the structure to become infinitely large.
- Figure 2 shows a top view of the unique interleaved log periodic dipole geometry employed in this invention.
- log periodic dipole sets 1 and 2 are fed with equal amplitude and phase of 0 degrees and 180 degrees respectively at the center feedpoint by microstrip baluns 5 and 7.
- log periodic dipole sets 3 and 4 are fed with equal amplitude and a phase of 90 degrees and 270 degrees respectively at the center feedpoint by microstrip baluns 6 and 8.
- Figure 3 shows the required antenna feedpoint excitations at the center of the antenna to obtain right hand circular LHCP and left hand circular RHCP polarizations.
- Figure 4 shows the conventional manner in which the appropriate excitation is obtained for dual sense circular polarization. This consists of two separate 180 degree hybrids or baluns plus a separate 90 degree hybrid. The described embodiment herein eliminates the two separate 180 degree hybrids or baluns by incorporating them as an integral part of the antenna etched circuit for improved reliability, producibility and lower cost.
- FIG. 5 is shown an exploded view of the antenna assembly of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
- log periodic antenna elements 31 and 33 are etched on opposite sides of antenna substrate 32.
- the etched log periodic antenna circuit accommodates orthogonal printed circuit microstrip baluns which lie radially along the center of each set of log periodic elements. These printed circuit baluns are an integral part of the etched log periodic geometry.
- Coaxial lines 36 and 37 transport RF energy received by the antenna downward to the 90 degree hybrid consisting of layers 11, 12 and 13.
- Mode suppressing collars 34, 35, 38 and 39 are used to suppress unwanted higher order modes and launch the received RF signal from the printed circuit antenna balun onto the coaxial line and from the coaxial line onto the stripline 90 degree hybrid.
- the 90 degree hybrid consists of a dielectric substrate (0.010 inch thick Duroid 5880) 12 and RF coupler circuits 11 and 13 etched on opposite sides of the substrate 12.
- the 90 degree coupler stripline circuit is completed by the dielectric layers 10 and 14 which are (0.031 inch thick layers of Duroid 5880) metallized on the outside surfaces to form a 90 degree hybrid stripline circuit.
- the metallized surface of the upper dielectric layer 10 serves as the metallic base for the absorber loaded cavity 17.
- Design of the 90 degree coupler follows standard methods commonly used by those skilled in the art.
- the load ring 24 acts as a termination at the outer perimeter of the antenna structure to reduce reflections at the lower operating frequencies. This load ring is made of a carbon loaded epoxy resin and is painted on to the antenna substrate.
- the structure 15 is the baseplate for the internal antenna/processor/switch subassembly.
- the subassembly is attached to this base plate 15 to assist in holding it together prior to dropping into the cavity 17.
- the subassembly is dropped into cavity 17 to make the final assembly.
- the device 22 is the RF output connector.
- the antenna herein described operates over a bandwidth limited at the high frequencies by physical detail at the central feed region and at the low frequencies by the physical size of the structure.
- the antenna by itself is a bidirectional radiating element. Because unidirectional radiation is preferred, the antenna is backed by an absorber loaded cavity.
- the absorber used is graded to allow a gradual transition from a relatively low dielectric constant and low electrical loss material 19, to a medium dielectric constant and medium loss material 20, to a higher dielectric constant and high loss material 21. This allows the back radiation of the antenna to be absorbed with a minimum of reflection from the absorber surface, resulting in uniform pattern and gain performance over the operating band.
- Typical of the absorbers which can be used for materials 19, 20 and 21 are Emerson and Cumming Co.
- a carbon loaded honeycomb absorber also available from Emerson and Cumming, will work and provide a structural support for the antenna.
- the antenna performance can be improved by having a 0.125 inch air space between the antenna and the absorber layer 19. In practice, this space can be a structural foam spacer, such as styrafoam, which electrically is similar to air, but yet provides structural support for the antenna.
- the antenna is dropped into an aluminum cup shaped housing 17 and covered with a dielectric radome 23 for environmental protection.
- Figure 6 shows a top view of the 90 degree hybrid coupler assembly 11, 12, and 13 plus the polarization selection switch 16 and the polarization switch which provides either RHCP or LHCP to a single output port at the base of the antenna.
- One method is to have the log periodic elements all on one side of the antenna substrate and fed with a printed circuit microstrip or stripline balun as illustrated in Figure 7a.
- the microstrip balun conductor on the underside of the substrate must bridge the center feed point gap and connect to the log periodic elements on the left side of the structure by means of a shorting pin or a plated through hole.
- the shorting pin or plated through hole can be eliminated by placing the log periodic elements on the left side of the structure under the substrate as is illustrated in Figure 7b by dashed lines.
- the microstrip balun conductor which is on the under side of the substrate, bridges the feed point gap and connects directly to the log periodic elements on the left side of the structure.
- FIGs 7(a) and 7(b) can be physically realized for crossed orthogonal log periodic elements as shown in Figure 8.
- the orthogonal microstrip baluns are etched on opposite sides of the antenna substrate.
- the orthogonal geometry keeps the coupling between the baluns to a minimum.
- a solderless feedpoint or a feedpoint using the shorting pins can be realized.
- the key point is that for either case, the feed region at the center of the antenna is not attached to a transmission line running through the antenna cavity to the 90 degree coupler in the antenna base. This is important because the embodiment of this invention is far more reliable than that of conventional cavity backed designs of prior art.
- Figure 9 shows typical radiation patterns for right hand and left hand circular outputs.
- FIG. 5 and 7 describe a configuration where the antenna is fed by means of two orthogonal microstrip infinite baluns.
- An alternate feeding method is to employ two orthogonal infinite baluns in the form of a stripline circuit in lieu of the microstrip balun circuit.
- a conventional stripline circuit is shown in Figure 11 where the center conductor 41 of the stripline circuit is suspended between ground planes 42 and 43 by means of dielectric substrates 44, 45, and 46.
- the stripline circuit shown in Figure 11 is extended to the integrated infinite balun of the interleaved log periodic antenna as shown in Figures 12(a) to 12(e).
- two orthogonal and radial stripline feeds 53 and 57 are contained on opposite sides of a very thin (approximately 0.006 inch) dielectric substrate 52.
- Radial stripline feeds 53 and 57 are contained between conductors 51 and 54 plus 55 and 58 respectively.
- the center stripline conductors 53 and 57 bridge a small gap 60 at the center feed point (see exploded view in Figure 12(a)) and connect to radial feed lines 59 and 62 plus 61 and 63 respectively via a shorting pin or plated through hole.
- the log periodic pattern is etched and registered on upper and under sides of the substrate 63 and 64.
- the stripline fed antenna is connected to the coaxial feeding transmission line at the outer perimeter of the structure in a similar manner to that shown in Figure 5.
- the coaxial transmission line center conductor connects to the microstrip (stripline) center conductor and the coaxial transmission line shield connects to the log periodic elements at the outer perimeter.
- the key reliability feature is retained because no transmission line passing along the antenna axis, perpendicular to the plane of the antenna, is connected to the central antenna feed point.
- the antenna is free to move up and down (diaphragm action) due to environmental conditions without causing feedpoint failure.
- balun forms a flex circuit which may connect to the 90 degree hybrid, polarization selection switch or two dual output ports for dual linear operation.
- the four orthogonal log periodic structures described in the previous paragraph are capable of providing a SUM pattern performance only, e.g. (peak of beam on the antenna axis) independent of frequency and polarization.
- SUM pattern performance e.g. (peak of beam on the antenna axis) independent of frequency and polarization.
- the DIFFERENCE pattern has a null on the axis of the antenna. It is not possible to obtain a circular polarized DIFFERENCE pattern with four orthogonal linear polarized elements as shown in Figure 2. In order to obtain a circular polarized difference pattern with linear polarized elements, one must employ a minimum of six linear polarized elements arranged in a hexagonal geometry.
- Shown in Figure 10 is the new design of log periodic elements which are foreshortened by means of capacitive loading.
- the capacitive loading tabs 74 foreshorten the log periodic dipole elements and allow six radial feeds to converge at a central feed point region 75.
- the capacitive loading tabs allow size reduction of the log periodic dipole elements by as much as 60 percent.
- the six ports must be feed with a six port RF processor capable of exciting both SUM and DIFFERENCE modes.
- the processor For one sense of polarization of the SUM mode, the processor must feed each of the six feed ports with equal amplitude and a sixty degree phase progression around the feed region, e.g., 0, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 degrees.
- the phase sequence is reversed, e.g., 0, 300, 240, 180, 120, and 60 degrees.
- the processor must feed each of the six ports with equal amplitude and a one hundred twenty degree phase progression (twice that for the SUM mode) around the feed regions e.g., 0, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 600 degrees.
- the phase sequence is reversed, e.g., 0, 600, 480, 360, 240, and 120 degrees.
