Description

Dual Polarized Antenna with multilevel hybrid beam forming network for high power
Field of Invention
The present invention relates to microwave communication and further relates to a design of a beam-forming network.
Background of the Invention Dual Polarized antenna on microstrip patch radiator is fed with multilevel high power hybrid beam forming network (BFN). BFN is heart of such an antenna system as it not only provides the requisite excitation for required radiation but also brings down the high power level to a level, which can be tolerated by microstrip feed line. The key requirements for the BFN are wide band operation, highly precision power division (typically 0.5 dB in amplitude and 5.0° in phase), high power capability and reliable technology for air-borne and space-borne applications.
A need for power distribution network capable operating in a high power and also compact is required. Thus a development of a new type of multilevel corporate power distribution network capable of coupling power efficiently from a wave guide to primary square coaxial network then to secondary square coaxial network and finally from square coaxial to microstrip network. This power distribution network finds its extensive application in beam forming networks where high power operation is required especially in SAR applications. The beam forming network is a combination of waveguide, square coaxial line and microstrip line to cater high power requirement. Shaping is provided by developing new pattern synthesis technique for getting ripple free pattern with optimized current taper ratio and mutual coupling making it feasible for realization. The invention has led to the development of a unique power distribution network combination of waveguide and square coaxial line making it feasible for multilayer printed microstrip antenna as viable radiating element option for high power airborne SAR applications. This will facilitate enhanced bandwidth, low insertion loss with improved cross polarization.
A Beam forming network made of hollow waveguide is best suited from the point of view of power handling but from the weight and compactness point of view, BFN are not generally made solely of waveguides. In this case, rectangular (or more specifically square) coaxial lines are used as transmission medium at the lower frequency range like L-band, C-band up to X-band. Circular coaxial lines have been used extensively in the past does not provide (a) the presence of flat surface for mechanical advantages, and to have an unambiguously defined plane of polarization. Moreover it may be conjectured that in practice, at least in some instances the cross polarization ratio, or ability to discriminate against waves having the undesired alternative polarization, may be superior for rectangular lines. The loss characteristics and power handling capability of rectangular coaxial line are comparable to that of circular coaxial line. However, manufacturing components having a rectangular cross-sections are more economical and this type of coaxial line is predominantly used in the feed systems employing a large number of components to form the BFN.
Specially the design of different types of transitions from square-X to other transmission medium is very critical for an optimum configuration and no open literature gives any clue to such design. Hence, it is imperative to carry out a systematic study on various aspects of rectangular coaxial line and waveguide beamformer followed by simulation, design, fabrication and RF testing. Summary of the Invention
This invention describes various transitions such as square coaxial transition to microstrip by designing probe with linear taper to match the impedance and grove discontinuity in inner conductor is provided to match the reactance. New square coaxial line transition is developed by providing groves in both inner & outer conductor for broadband matching and making it feasible to operate at higher frequency up to X band. The power from wave-guide to square coaxial line is transferred by developing top loaded probe. Power is also efficiently coupled to driven printed patch and then to parasitic patch radiator for offering wide bandwidth.
