Definitions
- the invention relates to a transmission antenna for navigation systems.
- a known and customary measure for checking the emitted signals sees the Use of monitor probes. With such monitor probes that are dependent provided in individual cases for the entire antenna or individual antenna antenna groups the signal emitted by the transmitting antenna is received and sent to an evaluation unit forwarded. This evaluation unit is also used in a known manner signal derived from the antenna feed signal. The comparison of these two signals then gives a statement about possible deviations, corresponding corrections can then be done.
- the antennas mentioned are usually set up and operated outdoors. To the Protection against weather damage, the antennas are housed in protective housings, which are also called radomes.
- the object of the present invention is therefore a transmission antenna for navigation systems to create, received at the control probe (s) the emitted signal and forward to an internal evaluation unit, in which the control probe (s) received signal with that supplied to the transmitting antenna by the antenna feed device Signal is compared and the transmitting antenna from a protective housing, a so-called Radome is surrounded, which allows the emission of undisturbed signals, i.e. in which the sensitivity to weather-related conditions is largely reduced is.
- This object is achieved in accordance with the invention in that on the Inside of the radome reflectors and an absorption layer in those areas of the radome are attached, weather-related with snow, ice or rain conditions are covered.
- FIG. 1 In the accompanying drawing with a figure is a cross-sectional view of a Radiator group of a navigation antenna system for the instrument landing approach, in particular to see a so-called glide path antenna.
- a Radiator group of a navigation antenna system for the instrument landing approach, in particular to see a so-called glide path antenna.
- Such an antenna is used in Frequency range operated from 328 to 335 MHz.
- Each of the above Spotlight groups consist of a double row of dipoles 1 and 2 attached in front of a conductive rear wall 6 are.
- a monitor probe is also attached to the rear wall 6, of which in FIG. 1 parts 3 and 4 can be seen. In this specific case, it is a Loop probe.
- the signal emitted by dipoles 1 and 2 is also transmitted by the monitor probe recorded and in a manner not shown to the evaluation unit, not shown here directed.
- the antenna feed device is also not shown, since it is for the Understanding of the invention is not required; otherwise it is general known functional elements of an antenna.
- a Radome 5 provided to protect the transmitter antenna.
- the transmission antenna is in Fig. 1 shown in the position in which it is operated.
- the Top of the radome e.g. form a snow pad 9 when there is snow.
- On this snow pad 9 are when operating the transmitter antenna due to the physical property parts of the transmission signal reflecting the snow cover.
- These reflected Signals like those emanating from the dipoles, are sent directly to the monitor probe received transmission signals received. This creates one of reflection signals superimposed signal, which is sent to the evaluation unit; but this signal corresponds not the broadcast signal received by the aircraft.
- remedy is provided according to the invention.
- the reflector can be realized in different ways. In the drawing are, for example Reflector rods shown. But it could also e.g. a conductive film is used become. To ensure that there is no rain or ice on the front of the Radome 5 reflected radiation via the reflector 7, which in this case is a kind Angle reflector acts, the monitor signal is affected, the reflector 7 is common attached with an absorption layer 8 on the inside of the radome 5. To this Combinatorially, the transmitter antenna is largely insensitive to Weather influences (rain, ice, snow).
