- 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.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet une antenne colinéaire du type coaxial alterné.The present invention relates to a collinear antenna of the alternating coaxial type.
De telles antennes ont déjà été décrites notamment dans le brevet US 2 158 376 dont une figure a été reproduite comme figure 1 annexée, ou dans le brevet US 5 600 338.Such antennas have already been described in particular in US Pat. No. 2,158,376, a figure of which has been reproduced as appended FIG. 1, or in US Pat. No. 5,600,338.
L'antenne est constituée par une suite de dipôles D1, D2, D3, etc. raccordés entre eux par des systèmes déphaseurs DF1, DF2, etc. Plus précisément, chaque dipôle D1 est constitué par un élément de tube conducteur 10 et l'antenne comporte en outre deux éléments conducteurs rectilignes parallèles 12 et 14. Les cylindres conducteurs 10, 12, 14, etc., constituant les dipôles D1, D2, D3 sont alternativement soudés sur un des conducteurs 12 et 14 et entourent l'autre conducteur. Par exemple, le dipôle D1 est constitué par l'élément cylindrique 10 coaxial à l'élément conducteur 14 et soudé sur l'élément conducteur 12. Les éléments déphaseurs DF consistent dans le fait qu'un même élément conducteur 12, 14 passe d'une position où il est soudé sur l'élément conducteur cylindrique à une position dans laquelle il est disposé selon l'axe de l'élément conducteur cylindrique suivant. Ce changement de disposition correspond sensiblement à un déphasage de λ/2. On obtient donc ainsi globalement une addition des courants circulant dans les portions des conducteurs 12 et 14 correspondant aux différents dipôles. Cependant, la position alternée des cylindres conducteurs, par rapport aux deux éléments rectilignes conducteurs fait que le diagramme de rayonnement de l'ensemble de l'antenne n'est pas symétrique, et l'antenne n'est donc pas omnidirectionnelle.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
Un autre inconvénient de l'antenne décrite dans le brevet américain mentionné ci-dessus réside dans le fait que chaque dipôle est constitué par l'élément conducteur cylindrique et le conducteur linéaire disposé selon l'axe de ce cylindre. Il résulte de cette configuration que la longueur physique du tube cylindrique ne correspond pas à la longueur rayonnante de celui-ci. L'antenne n'est donc pas convenablement accordée sur la fréquence de travail de celle-ci.Another disadvantage of the antenna described in the aforementioned US patent lies in the fact that 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.
Un objet de la présente invention est de fournir une antenne colinéaire du type coaxial alterné qui permette d'obtenir une distribution de courant sur l'antenne telle que le diagramme de rayonnement est effectivement omnidirectionnel.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.
Pour atteindre ce but selon l'invention, une antenne du type colinéaire est caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend une partie rayonnante comportant :
- trois éléments filaires conducteurs sensiblement rectilignes et parallèles entre eux, comprenant un conducteur central et deux conducteurs latéraux ; et
- 2N zones rayonnantes constituées par une alternance de premières zones rayonnantes et de deuxièmes zones rayonnantes :
- .. chaque première zone rayonnante comprenant en outre un élément conducteur cylindrique dont l'axe est confondu avec ledit élément filaire central et qui est relié électriquement auxdits deux éléments filaires latéraux ;
- .. chaque deuxième zone rayonnante comprenant en outre deux éléments conducteurs cylindriques dont les axes sont respectivement sensiblement confondus avec les éléments filaires latéraux, lesdits éléments cylindriques étant reliés électriquement audit élément filaire central ; un espace étant laissé entre deux zones rayonnantes consécutives.
- three wire elements substantially rectilinear conductors and parallel to each other, comprising a central conductor and two lateral conductors; and
- 2N radiating zones constituted by an alternation of first radiating zones and second radiating zones:
- each first radiating zone further comprising a cylindrical conductive element whose axis coincides with said central wire element and which is electrically connected to said two lateral wire elements;
- each second radiating zone further comprising two cylindrical conductive elements whose axes are respectively substantially merged with the lateral wire elements, said cylindrical elements being electrically connected to said central wire element; a space being left between two consecutive radiating zones.
On comprend en effet que, grâce au fait que les dipôles successifs sont constitués par des éléments rayonnants formés à partir d'un élément cylindrique conducteur et de deux éléments cylindriques conducteurs et que, de plus, l'antenne comporte trois éléments conducteurs linéaires, la structure de l'antenne est symétrique et le champ électrique rayonné l'est donc également.It is understood that, thanks to the fact that 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.
Chaque élément cylindrique de longueur l comprend intérieurement un disque en un matériau diélectrique de coefficient ε, orthogonal à l'élément filaire, dont la longueur l' selon la direction de l'élément filaire est telle que :
Grâce à la présence du disque en matériau diélectrique à l'intérieur de chaque élément conducteur cylindrique, on peut compenser la différence qui existe entre la longueur physique du conducteur cylindrique et sa longueur électrique en tant qu'antenne sans pour cela rendre plus complexe la réalisation de l'antenne. On comprend de plus que ces disques en matériau diélectrique permettent le maintien mécanique des éléments cylindriques par rapport aux éléments filaires conducteurs rectilignes.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.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront mieux à la lecture de la description qui suit de plusieurs modes de réalisation de l'invention donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear better on reading the following description of several embodiments of the invention given as non-limiting examples.

La figure 2 montre l'ensemble de l'antenne 20. Fonctionnellement, celle-ci est constituée par une partie rayonnante 22, une extrémité de blocage 24 opposée à la zone de connexion du câble d'antenne 26 et à son extrémité proche de sa connexion au câble, l'antenne comprend de préférence deux pièges à courant référencés respectivement 28 et 30.FIG. 2 shows the
La partie rayonnante 20 de l'antenne est constituée par une succession de zones rayonnantes ou radiantes formées par des premières zones rayonnantes 321, 322, etc., et par des deuxièmes zones rayonnantes 341, 342, etc., les deuxièmes zones rayonnantes étant disposées en alternance avec les premières zones rayonnantes.The
Du point de vue de sa construction, la partie rayonnante 22 de l'antenne est réalisée à partir de trois conducteurs rectilignes 36, 38 et 40 parallèles entre eux. Le conducteur 38 sera appelé conducteur linéaire central et les deux autres conducteurs seront appelés conducteurs linéaires latéraux. Ces derniers sont équidistants du conducteur central 38. Les premières zones rayonnantes 321, 322, etc., sont constituées par deux surfaces conductrices cylindriques respectivement référencées 42 et 44. Les deuxièmes zones rayonnantes 341, 342, etc., sont constituées par une unique surface conductrice sensiblement cylindrique 46.From the point of view of its construction, the
En se référant maintenant à la figure 3, on va décrire plus en détail la réalisation des premières zones rayonnantes 32i et des deuxièmes zones rayonnantes 34i.Referring now to FIG. 3, the making of the first radiating zones 32 i and the second radiating zones 34 i will be described in more detail.
La deuxième zone rayonnante 34i est, comme on l'a déjà indiqué, constituée par un cylindre conducteur 46 dont le diamètre d est sensiblement égal à la distance qui sépare les conducteurs rectilignes latéraux 36 et 40. Les cylindres 46, constituant les deuxièmes zones rayonnantes, présentent une longueur L. L'axe X-X' du cylindre 46 est confondu avec le conducteur rectiligne central 38 alors que sa face externe 36a est soudée sur les conducteurs latéraux 36 et 40. On établit ainsi une connexion électrique entre les cylindres 46 constituant les deuxièmes zones rayonnantes 34i et les conducteurs latéraux 36 et 40.The second radiating zone 34 i is, as already indicated, constituted by a conducting
Les premières zones rayonnantes 32i sont, comme on l'a déjà indiqué, constituées par deux cylindres conducteurs 42 et 44 identiques tous les deux et de préférence identiques au cylindre 46 constituant la deuxième zone rayonnante 34i. Les cylindres 42 et 44 ont donc également un diamètre d et une longueur L. Chaque cylindre 42, 44 a son axe respectivement Y-Y' et Z-Z' confondu respectivement avec les conducteurs rectilignes latéraux 36 et 40. La face externe respectivement 44a et 42a des cylindres conducteurs 42 et 44 est soudée sur le conducteur central 38. On établit ainsi une connexion électrique entre les paires de cylindres 42 et 44 constituant les premières zones rayonnantes 32i et le conducteur central 38. La longueur L des cylindres 42, 44 et 46 correspond à la demi-longueur d'onde λ/2.The first radiating zones 32 i are, as already indicated, constituted by two
Il faut ajouter qu'un espace, qui sera défini ultérieurement 48i, est prévu entre les différentes zones rayonnantes 32i et 34i, cet espace présente une longueur e.It should be added that a space, which will be defined later 48 i , is provided between the different radiating zones 32 i and 34 i , this space has a length e.
Du fait qu'à chaque passage d'une première zone rayonnante 32i à une deuxième zone rayonnante 34i, les différents conducteurs rectilignes 36, 38 et 40 passent d'une position de coaxialité à une position de connexion au cylindre conducteur, on obtient ainsi sensiblement un déphasage de 180° entre deux zones rayonnantes successives, ce qui permet d'obtenir effectivement la somme des courants circulant dans chaque zone rayonnante en émission ou en réception.Since each passage from a first radiating zone 32 i to a second radiating zone 34 i , the various
La bande passante de l'antenne est améliorée si on augmente le diamètre d des surfaces cylindriques conductrices 42, 44 et 46. Une valeur convenable de d est de 0,08 λ. Cependant, les déphasages dans les surfaces cylindriques conductrices et dans les conducteurs rectilignes 36, 38 et 40 sont différents pour une même longueur physique de conducteur. Pour compenser ces déphasages différents, selon un mode perfectionné de réalisation de l'antenne représentée sur la figure 4, on monte à l'intérieur du cylindre conducteur 42, 44 ou 46 un disque diélectrique 50 qui peut, par exemple, être réalisé en Téflon. L'introduction de ce disque 50 permet de compenser la longueur électrique dans le cylindre conducteur 42 et dans le conducteur rectiligne 40. La longueur l' du disque diélectrique 50 selon la direction du conducteur rectiligne 40 peut être déterminée de la manière suivante. Si l'on appelle l' la longueur du diélectrique de constante diélectrique ε et l la longueur du cylindre 42, on doit avoir la relation.
Ainsi qu'on l'a déjà indiqué en liaison avec la figure 2, de préférence l'antenne 20 comprend également, à son extrémité 52 de raccordement au câble coaxial d'antenne 26, deux pièges à courant 28 et 30. Chaque piège à courant 28, 30 est constitué par une surface cylindrique conductrice 54, 56 coaxiale au câble 26 et dont la longueur L' correspond à λ/4, λ étant la longueur d'onde de travail de l'antenne. L'extrémité inférieure 54a, 56a des cylindres 54 et 56 est raccordée à la face externe 26a du câble coaxial 26 par une portion annulaire 58 et 60 également conductrice.As already indicated in connection with FIG. 2, the
Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, l'antenne comporte N = 14 zones rayonnantes. Les zones rayonnantes sont constituées par une ou deux surfaces conductrices cylindriques de rapport L/d, le rapport est de l'ordre de 5.In a preferred embodiment, the antenna has N = 14 radiating zones. The radiating zones consist of one or two cylindrical conductive surfaces of ratio L / d, the ratio is of the order of 5.
Avec cette antenne, on obtient pour la longueur d'onde de travail de 52 mm, une bande passante de l'ordre de 2,5 % et un gain de 10 dBiso.With this antenna, for the working wavelength of 52 mm, a bandwidth of the order of 2.5% and a gain of 10 dBiso are obtained.
Du fait de la réalisation des zones rayonnantes alternées constituées par une surface cylindrique conductrice et deux surfaces cylindriques conductrices, l'antenne présente globalement une symétrie géométrique par rapport au conducteur rectiligne central 38. On obtient ainsi un diagramme de rayonnement en azimut le plus omnidirectionnel possible. En outre, la réalisation de l'antenne est simple puisqu'elle consiste dans le soudage des surfaces cylindriques conductrices 42, 44 et 46 sur les conducteurs électriques rectilignes 36, 38 et 40. Il faut ajouter que, dans le cas où chaque cylindre conducteur est équipé d'un disque diélectrique, ce disque diélectrique constitue en même temps une entretoise de maintien mécanique de la surface cylindrique conductrice par rapport au conducteur électrique rectiligne et un centrage des ensembles tubes cylindriques/tiges.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
