Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for transmitting and / or receiving signals in a scrolling satellite communication system.
- geostationary satellites which are particularly interesting because of their unchanging relative positions in the sky.
- the geostationary satellite has major drawbacks such as significant attenuations of the transmitted signals linked to the distance separating the user antennas from the geostationary satellite (of the order of 36,000 kilometers, the corresponding losses then amounting to approximately 205 dB in the Ku band) and transmission delays (typically of the order of 250 ms to 280 ms) thus becoming clearly perceptible and annoying, especially for real-time applications such as telephony, videoconferencing, etc.
- the Geostationary orbit located in the equatorial plane, poses a visibility problem for regions with high latitudes, the elevation angles becoming very small for regions near the poles.
- the satellites of the constellation scrolling in turn in visibility of the user terminal for a period ranging from ten minutes to approximately one hour.
- the service cannot be provided permanently by a single satellite, the continuity of the service requiring the scrolling over the service area of several satellites succeeding one another.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide an apparatus for tracking antennas of satellites traveling along predefined paths, making it possible to receive at least two successive satellites in the visibility zone of the apparatus.
- the subject of the invention is an apparatus for transmitting and / or receiving signals in a communication system by scrolling satellites, comprising multidirectional focusing means having a focusing surface comprising a plurality of focal points, characterized in that it includes:
- - a continuous series of radiating elements or group of independent transmitting and / or receiving radiating elements, said radiating elements being arranged in the vicinity of focal points of said focusing surface, - electronic switching means coupled to the radiating elements, for switching in operation at least a first element associated with a first focal point and a second element associated with a second focal point with circuits for processing the transmitted and / or received signals, said focal points corresponding to the respective positions of a first and of a second satellite at a given time,
- Control means of the switching means for determining said at least first and second elements corresponding to the respective positions of the first and second satellites at said given time.
- active will be attributed to any element exchanging with a satellite also called “active” a major part of the useful data, while the term “passive” will designate any other element exchanging with another satellite called “passive” signaling data and little useful data.
- the apparatus according to the invention makes it possible to transmit and / or receive at least two focused beams in different places and not to suffer from a switching delay when switching from a first satellite to a other.
- the switching means comprise switching units comprising first switches with an input connected to the circuit for processing the transmission signals and with NX M outputs connected to the NX M radiating elements and / or second switches with NX M inputs connected to the NX M radiating elements and to an output connected to the signal processing circuit reception for reception signals, the series of radiating elements appearing as a matrix of elements with N rows and M columns.
- the integer N is predetermined so that the device has, when tracking satellites, a radiation pattern that can tilt from 10 ° to 90 ° in elevation.
- the integer N is predetermined so as to allow visibility in azimuth around a pre-adjusted azimuth value.
- the elevation will be understood in the present application as the angle existing between the horizontal plane and the radius R passing through the center of the device and the satellite in the instantaneous plane of the trajectory.
- the azimuth is also defined as the angle between said radius R and the vertical in the plane transverse to the instantaneous plane of the trajectory.
- the integer M is chosen so as to ensure the continuation of these by an adjustment in azimuth of the beam around a value of pre-adjusted azimuth.
- the series of radiating elements, the switching means and the circuits for processing the transmission and / or reception signals are arranged on the same layer of a substrate.

- slits are etched on the lower surface of the first layer forming a ground plane, so as to allow the exchange of energy with the lower layers.
- the device comprises first and second independent support means and adjacent to the focusing surface on which are arranged the continuous series of radiant elements.
- the latter solution is advantageous especially in the case where the traveling satellites can have significant azimuth variations. It makes it possible in particular to reduce the value of the integer M to 1, which corresponds to an electronic tracking in elevation, while ensuring the tracking in azimuth in a mechanical manner.
- said first and second support means are coupled to actuation means comprising means of rotation of the first and second support means for the orientation of the latter so as to allow tracking in azimuth of satellites, said means of support during the pursuit of targets and / or sources by said device.
