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 beam of electromagnetic waves 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.
