Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a very broadband multi-band transceiver coupler-splitter type OMT ("OrthoMode Transducer” that is to say, coupler orthomode) for microwave telecommunications antennas.
  • OMT Organic Multi-Mode Transducer
  • Such a device can also be called “multiplexer” or “OMT multiplexer”. To simplify the description, this device will be called simply “coupler”.
  • the document GB-A-2 194 859 describes an apparatus as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the subject of the present invention is a multi-band broadband transmission-reception coupler of the OMT type for microwave telecommunications antennas which can operate for a very wide bandwidth (greater than one octave), for linear as well as circular polarizations. .
  • the coupling slots allow, after recombination, operation in linear and circular polarizations. If they are two in number and diametrically opposed, it is a single linear polarization, and if they are four in number and arranged at 90 ° relative to each other, they are linear polarizations and circulars. In the coupling regime, all the signals coupled to the losses that are induced by the coupler itself and by the type of treatment of the machined material are recovered (for example: a silver-based finish allows very good conductivity).
  • the blocking section also provides an adaptation function allowing the propagation of high frequencies through it, on the other hand it also helps the overall adaptation of the coupler (between ports P1 and P2).
  • All couplers according to the invention described below mainly comprise the following elements: a first port P1 followed by a body and a second port P2, these three main elements all having a circular section and being coaxial.
  • the inner diameter of the port P1 is greater than that of the port P2, while the inner diameter of the coupling section is equal to that of the port P1 at their junction and decreases constantly between its junction with P1 and its junction with P2.
  • the body comprises at least one section consisting of a coupling section and a frequency blocking section relating to the coupling section of the same assembly.
  • the embodiments described herein each include only one such section, but it is understood that the invention is not limited to a single section, and that the coupler of the invention has as many such sections that There are intermediate frequency bands to be processed (in coupling and separation).
  • the profile of the blocking section may comprise one or more parties with different evolution laws.
  • the port P1 ensures the propagation of all the useful bandwidths (representing the coupling of low and high subbands) and is connected (not represented) to a horn propagating in transmission and in reception of electromagnetic waves in association with a focusing system such as a microwave telecommunications antenna, while the P2 port only ensures the propagation of high subbands and the coupling ports of the coupling section ensure that of subbands bass.
  • the P2 port and the ports of the link section are connected (from not shown) to transceiver systems.
  • the law of evolution of the longitudinal profile of each coupling section is an essential element of the invention and will be described in detail below for each of the embodiments shown.
  • the coupling section may have only two or four coupling slots, because a different number would be useless purely and simply.
  • the examples of coupling section profiles described below are simple to perform by machining, whether they are linear or defined by splines.
  • the body 24 of the coupler 25 of the figure 6 has a profile consisting of two consecutive linear parts 26 (determining the coupling section) and 27 (determining the low frequency blocking section) with different slopes (the slopes are to be considered in the plane of the figure, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the coupler). It is understood that this profile may comprise more than two parts with different slopes. In the example shown in the drawing, the slope of the portion 26 is greater than that of the portion 27, but the opposite is also possible
  • each section of the separator promotes the coupling of the low bands by presenting a slope of angle ⁇ 1 (slope 26) of approximately 10 to 15 ° and the following section of slope of angle ⁇ 2 (slope 27) bypasses (prevents) these same low bands to propagate through the coupler.
  • the whole also favoring a good adaptation (in terms of ROS, ie standing wave rates) of the overall coupler for all frequency bands to propagate and separate.
  • Broadband rectangular 24A coupling slots are formed in the body of the section 24.
  • Each slots extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the section 24. In this case, there are two or four. Two slots are used to couple at least one linear polarization and four slots are used to couple two linear polarizations and two circular polarizations. A recombination system (not shown) is necessary for their restitution. Only one of these slots is visible on the drawing.
  • Each slots is associated with a waveguide 24B rectangular section. Each set of coupling slot and associated waveguide is referred to herein as "coupling arm". The dimensions of the coupling slots are initially determined as those of a conventional rectangular waveguide to allow the propagation of the lowest frequencies to be coupled.
  • the profile of the coupling section 28 of the coupler 29 of the figure 7 consists of a spline 30 followed by a linear segment 31.
  • the equation defining the spline 30 can have various forms provided that, as specified above, the diameter the corresponding portion of the section 28 is constantly decreasing from the port of greater section to the port of smaller section, or more precisely until the junction with the portion defined by the profile 31.
  • This spline defined a zone of short-circuit favoring the coupling of the low bands (L) and a good adaptation of the bands more high (C and Ku) propagating through the coupler.
  • the spline 34 providing the coupling was a first order polynomial (linear profile).
  • the distance between the low band (s) to be coupled and the high band (s) to be propagated through the splitter-splitter indicates whether the coupler is achievable. This frequency distance should not be too small, otherwise there is a risk of coupling also the beginning of the highest bands.
  • the use of a selective filter (microwave iris with circular contour of defined thickness having a cross-shaped recess), placed between the coupling section and the blocking section or just after the blocking section, can help in the where bandwidths to be coupled and separated are very close. This coupler makes it possible to use only one very broadband antenna for transmission (transmission and reception) of the four sub-bands.
