Definitions

  • Multi-beam antennas are widely used in space applications and especially in geostationary satellites to transmit to the earth's surface and / or receive information from the Earth's surface. They comprise for this purpose several radiating elements each generating a beam of electromagnetic waves spaced from the other beams. These radiating elements are, for example, placed near the focus of a parabola forming reflector of electromagnetic wave beams, the parabola and the multi-beam antenna being housed in a geostationary satellite. The parabola is intended to direct each beam on a corresponding area of the earth's surface. Each area of the Earth's surface illuminated by a beam of the multi-beam antenna is commonly referred to as a coverage area. Thus, each coverage area corresponds to a radiating element.
  • each horn produces a substantially circular radiating spot forming the base of a conical beam radiated emission or reception.
  • These horns are arranged next to each other so as to bring as close as possible the radiant spots of each other.
  • FIG. 1A diagrammatically represents a multi-beam antenna with cornets in front view in which seven squares F1 to F7 indicate the bulk of seven cones arranged contiguously to one another. Seven circles S1 to S7, each inscribed in one of the squares F1 to F7, represent the radiating spots produced by the corresponding horns.
  • the antenna of FIG. 1A is placed at the focus of a parabola of a geostationary satellite intended to transmit information on the French territory.
  • Figure 1B shows areas C1 to C7 of coverage at -3 dB, each corresponding to a radiating spot of the antenna of Figure 1A.
  • the center of each circle corresponds to a point on the earth's surface where the power received is maximum.
  • the perimeter of each circle delimits an area within which the power received on the earth's surface is greater than half the maximum power received at the center of the circle.
  • the radiating spots S1 to S7 are substantially contiguous, they produce cover areas at -3 dB disjoined from each other.
  • the regions between the -3 dB coverage areas are referred to here as receiving holes.
  • Each receiving hole therefore corresponds to a region of the earth's surface where the received power is less than half of the maximum power received. In these receiving holes, the received power may be insufficient for a receiver floor to function properly.
  • FIG. 2A A partial front view of such a multi-beam antenna having a plurality of overlapping radiating spots is illustrated in Figure 2A.
  • the radiating spot SR1 is formed from the SdR1 to SdR7 radiation sources arranged contiguously next to one another.
  • a radiating spot SR2 is produced from SdR1, SdR2, SdR3 and SdR7 radiation sources and from SdR8 to SdR10 radiation sources.
  • the SdR1 to SdR7 radiation sources are suitable for working at a first working frequency for creating a first substantially uniform electromagnetic wave beam at this first frequency.
  • the sources of radiation SdR1 to SdR3 and SdR7 to SdR10 are adapted to work at a second working frequency so as to create a second electromagnetic wave beam, substantially uniform at this second working frequency.
  • the sources of radiation SdR1 to SdR3 and SdR7 are able to work simultaneously at the first and second working frequencies.
  • the first and second working frequencies are different from each other so as to limit interference between the first and second beams produced.
  • radiation sources such as SdR1-3 radiation sources, are used both to create the SR1 radiating spot and the SR2 radiating spot, thereby producing an overlap of these two.
  • An illustration of the arrangement of the -3 dB coverage areas created by a multi-beam antenna with overlapping radiating spots is shown in Figure 2B.
  • Such an antenna can significantly reduce the receiving holes, or even make them disappear.
  • this multi-beam antenna is more complex to order than conventional horn antennas.
  • the aim of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a simpler overlapping multi-beam antenna with radiating spots.
  • each excitation element produces a single radiating spot forming the base or cross-section at the origin of an electromagnetic wave beam.
  • this antenna is comparable with conventional horn antennas where a horn produces a single radiating spot.
  • the control of this antenna is therefore similar to that of a conventional horn antenna.
  • the excitation elements are placed so as to overlap the radiating spots. This antenna thus has the advantages of a multi-beam antenna with overlapping radiating spots without the complexity of the control of the excitation elements has been increased compared to that of multi-beam horn antennas.
  • FIG. 3 represents a multi-beam antenna 4.
  • This antenna 4 is formed of a photonic ban band material or BIP material associated with a metallic plane 22 reflecting electromagnetic waves:

  • a BIP material is a material which has the property of absorbing certain frequency ranges, that is to say of prohibiting any transmission in said aforementioned frequency ranges. These frequency ranges form what is called here a non-conducting band.
  • FIG. 4 represents a curve representing the variations of the transmission coefficient expressed in decibels as a function of the frequency of the emitted or received electromagnetic wave: this transmission coefficient is representative of the energy transmitted on one side of the BIP material with respect to the energy received on the other side.
  • the non-conducting band B or absorption band B extends substantially from 7 GHz to 17 GHz.
  • This non-conducting band B depends solely on the properties and characteristics of the BIP material.
  • the BIP material generally consists of a periodic arrangement of dielectric permittivity and / or variable permeability.

  • the blade 34 is interposed between the blades 30 and 32, while the blade 36 is interposed between the blade 32 and the reflector plane 22.
  • the blade 30 is disposed at one end of this stack of blades. It has an outer surface 38 opposite its surface in contact with the blade 34. This surface 38 forms a radiating surface in emission and / or reception.
  • the median frequency f m is substantially equal to 12 GHz.
  • the radius R is substantially equal to 2.15 ⁇ .
  • Such a parallelepiped resonant cavity has several families of resonant frequencies. Each family of resonance frequencies is formed by a fundamental frequency and its harmonics or integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. Each resonance frequency of the same family excites the same mode of resonance of the cavity. These resonance modes are known under the terms resonance modes TM 0 , TM 1 ,..., TM i , .... These modes of resonance are described in more detail in the document by F. Cardiol, "Electromagnetism, Electricity, Electronics and Electrical Engineering ", Ed. Dunod, 1987.

  • the frequencies f mi are placed inside the narrow bandwidth E.
  • excitation elements 40 to 43 are placed next to one another in the cavity 36 on the reflector plane 22.
  • the geometric centers of these excitation elements are placed at the four angles a rhombus whose dimensions of the sides are strictly smaller than 2R.
  • Each of these excitation elements is able to emit and / or receive an electromagnetic wave at a working frequency f Ti different from that of the other excitation elements.
  • the frequency f Ti of each excitation element is close to f mo so as to excite the resonance mode TM 0 of the cavity 36.
  • These excitation elements 40 to 43 are connected to a conventional generator / receiver 45 of FIG. electrical signals to be transformed by each excitation element into an electromagnetic wave and vice versa.
  • excitation elements are, for example, constituted by a radiating dipole, a radiating slot, a plate probe or a radiating patch.
  • the lateral bulk of each radiating element that is to say in a plane parallel to the outer surface 38, is strictly smaller than the surface of the radiating spot to which it gives rise.
  • the excitation element 40 In transmission, the excitation element 40, activated by the generator / receiver 45, emits an electromagnetic wave at a working frequency f T0 and excites the resonance mode TM 0 of the cavity 36.
  • radiating elements 41 to 43 are, for example, simultaneously activated by the generator / receiver 45 and likewise respectively at the working frequencies f T1 , f T2 and f T3 .
  • the radiating spot and the corresponding radiation pattern are independent of the lateral dimensions of the cavity 36.
  • the resonance mode TM 0 is only a function of the thickness and the nature of the materials of each of the blades 30 to 36 and is established independently of the lateral dimensions of the cavity 36 when they are several times greater than the radius R defined above.
  • several TM 0 resonance modes can be established simultaneously next to each other and thus simultaneously generate several radiating spots arranged next to each other. This is what happens when the excitation elements 40 to 43 excite, each at different points of space, the same mode of resonance.
  • the excitation by the excitation element 40 of the resonance mode TM 0 results in the appearance of a radiant spot 46 that is substantially circular and whose geometric center is placed vertically above the geometric center of the element 40.
  • excitation by the elements 41 to 43 of the TM 0 resonance mode results in the appearance, at the vertical of the geometric center of each of these elements, respectively of radiating spots 47 to 49.
  • geometric center of the element 40 being at a distance strictly less than 2R of the geometric center of the elements 41 and 43, the radiating spot 46 partially overlaps the radiating spots 47 and 49 respectively corresponding to the radiating elements 41 and 43.

  • this antenna operates in a manner similar to the known overlapping multi-beam radiating beam antennas.
  • the operation of the antenna in reception follows from that described in emission. So, for example, if an electromagnetic wave is emitted towards the radiating spot 46, it is received in the surface corresponding to the spot 46. If the received wave is at a frequency in the narrow bandwidth E, it is not absorbed by the BIP material 20 and is received by the excitation element 40. Each electromagnetic wave received by an excitation element is transmitted in the form of an electrical signal to the generator / receiver 45.
