Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collinear antenna of the alternating coaxial type.
  • the antenna consists of a series of dipoles D1, D2, D3, etc. interconnected by DF1, DF2 phase shifters, etc. More specifically, each dipole D1 is constituted by a conductive tube element 10 and the antenna further comprises two parallel rectilinear conductive elements 12 and 14.
  • the conductive cylinders 10, 12, 14, etc., constituting the dipoles D1, D2, D3 are alternately welded on one of the conductors 12 and 14 and surround the other conductor.
  • the dipole D1 is constituted by the cylindrical element 10 coaxial with the conductive element 14 and soldered on the conductive element 12.
  • the phase shifter elements DF consist in the fact that the same conductive element 12, 14 passes from a position where it is welded to the cylindrical conductive member at a position in which it is disposed along the axis of the next cylindrical conductive member. This change of disposition corresponds substantially to a phase shift of ⁇ / 2. Thus, overall, an addition is obtained of the currents flowing in the portions of the conductors 12 and 14 corresponding to the different dipoles.
  • the alternating position of the conductive cylinders, with respect to the two conductive rectilinear elements makes the radiation pattern of the whole of the antenna is not symmetrical, and the antenna is therefore not omnidirectional.
  • each dipole is constituted by the cylindrical conductive element and the linear conductor disposed along the axis of this cylinder. It follows from this configuration that the physical length of the cylindrical tube does not correspond to the radiating length thereof. The antenna is therefore not properly tuned to its working frequency.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a collinear antenna of the alternating coaxial type which makes it possible to obtain a current distribution on the antenna such that the radiation pattern is effectively omnidirectional.
  • the successive dipoles consist of radiating elements formed from a conductive cylindrical element and two conductive cylindrical elements and that, moreover, the antenna comprises three linear conducting elements
  • the The antenna structure is symmetrical and the radiated electric field is also symmetrical.
  • each cylindrical conductive element Due to the presence of the disk of dielectric material inside each cylindrical conductive element, it is possible to compensate for the difference between the physical length of the cylindrical conductor and its electrical length as an antenna without thereby making the production more complex. of the antenna. We understand more that these disks made of dielectric material allow the mechanical maintenance of the cylindrical elements with respect to the rectilinear conductive wire elements.
  • FIG. 2 shows the antenna 20 as a whole. Functionally, it is constituted by a radiating part 22, a blocking end 24 opposite to the connection zone of the antenna cable 26 and at its end close to its connection to the cable, the antenna preferably comprises two current traps referenced respectively 28 and 30.
  • the radiating part 20 of the antenna is constituted by a succession of radiating or radiating zones formed by first radiating zones 32 1 , 32 2 , etc., and by second radiating zones 34 1 , 34 2 , etc., the second radiating zones being arranged alternately with the first radiating zones.
  • the radiating part 22 of the antenna is made from three straight conductors 36, 38 and 40 parallel to each other.
  • the conductor 38 will be called the central linear conductor and the other two conductors will be called lateral linear conductors. The latter are equidistant from the central conductor 38.
  • the first radiating zones 32 1 , 32 2 , etc. are constituted by two cylindrical conductive surfaces respectively referenced 42 and 44.
  • the second radiating zones 34 1 , 34 2 , etc. consist of by a single substantially cylindrical conductive surface 46.
  • the second radiating zone 34 i is, as already indicated, constituted by a conducting cylinder 46 whose diameter d is substantially equal to the distance which separates the rectilinear lateral conductors 36 and 40.
  • the cylinders 46 constituting the second zones radiating have a length L.
  • the axis XX 'of the cylinder 46 is coincident with the central rectilinear conductor 38 while its outer face 36a is welded to the lateral conductors 36 and 40. This establishes an electrical connection between the cylinders 46 constituting the second radiating zones 34 i and the lateral conductors 36 and 40.
  • the first radiating zones 32 i are, as already indicated, constituted by two conductive cylinders 42 and 44 identical to each other and preferably identical to the cylinder 46 constituting the second radiating zone 34 i .
  • the cylinders 42 and 44 therefore also have a diameter d and a length L.
  • Each cylinder 42, 44 has its axis respectively YY 'and ZZ' respectively coincident with the straight lateral conductors 36 and 40.
  • the outer face respectively 44a and 42a of the cylinders conductors 42 and 44 is welded to the central conductor 38. An electrical connection is thus established between the pairs of cylinders 42 and 44 constituting the first radiating zones 32 i and the central conductor 38.
  • the length L of the cylinders 42, 44 and 46 corresponds to at the half-wavelength ⁇ / 2.
  • this space has a length e.
  • the bandwidth of the antenna is improved if the diameter of conductive cylindrical surfaces 42, 44 and 46 is increased. suitable value of d is 0.08 ⁇ .
  • a dielectric disk 50 is mounted inside the conductive cylinder 42, 44 or 46, which may, for example, be made of Teflon .
  • the introduction of this disk 50 makes it possible to compensate the electrical length in the conductive cylinder 42 and in the rectilinear conductor 40.
  • the antenna 20 also preferably comprises, at its end 52 of connection to the coaxial antenna cable 26, two current traps 28 and 30.
  • current 28, 30 is constituted by a conductive cylindrical surface 54, 56 coaxial with the cable 26 and whose length L 'corresponds to ⁇ / 4, ⁇ being the working wavelength of the antenna.
  • the lower end 54a, 56a of the cylinders 54 and 56 is connected to the outer face 26a of the coaxial cable 26 by an annular portion 58 and 60 also conductive.
  • the radiating zones consist of one or two cylindrical conductive surfaces of ratio L / d, the ratio is of the order of 5.
  • the antenna Due to the realization of the alternating radiating zones formed by a conductive cylindrical surface and two conductive cylindrical surfaces, the antenna generally has a geometric symmetry with respect to the central rectilinear conductor 38. thus a radiation pattern in the most omnidirectional azimuth possible.
  • the realization of the antenna is simple since it consists in welding the conductive cylindrical surfaces 42, 44 and 46 on the rectilinear electrical conductors 36, 38 and 40. It should be added that, in the case where each conductive cylinder is equipped with a dielectric disk, this dielectric disk is at the same time a spacer for mechanically holding the conductive cylindrical surface relative to the rectilinear electrical conductor and centering the cylindrical tube / rod assemblies.
