Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an orthomode transducer with input/output ports and input/output single-mode signals which are parallel.
  • This technique is implemented by means of devices with three ports commonly known as waveguide polarization transducers or orthomode transducers which are able to combine on a single channel two single-mode microwave signals SV,SH with mutually orthogonal (Vertical/Horizontal) polarization for simultaneous transmission thereof and, vice versa, separate during reception two signals of the same channel owing to the orthogonality of their polarization (V,H).
  • waveguide polarization transducers or orthomode transducers which are able to combine on a single channel two single-mode microwave signals SV,SH with mutually orthogonal (Vertical/Horizontal) polarization for simultaneous transmission thereof and, vice versa, separate during reception two signals of the same channel owing to the orthogonality of their polarization (V,H).
  • the two input/output ports for the single separate signals are connected to two single-mode waveguides, and the third common port is connected to a third dual-mode waveguide on which the combined signals are simultaneously transmitted/received.
  • the two single-mode polarized signals enter the transducer through the respective single-mode port connected to a respective single-mode waveguide and both exit from the common port after being combined with mutual orthogonal polarities while passing through the transducer.
  • reception on the other hand, it is possible to separate the two original single-mode signals, receiving on the common port the combined signal which, while passing through the transducer in the opposite direction, is separated into the two single-mode signals, each of these signals being conveyed towards one of the two ports connected to the two single-mode guides.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of a polarization transducer according to the prior art in which the ports P2, P3 are connected, by means of respective flanges F2,F3, to two single-mode waveguides with a rectangular section which are in turn connected to a central body Q which emerges in a common port PC from where the two signals SV and SH exit simultaneously with mutually orthogonal polarization.
  • the transducer is designed with the two single-mode ports P2, P3 arranged in planes which are mutually orthogonal.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is to provide an orthogonal transducer for microwave signals which, during transmission, is able to combine orthogonally single-mode signals when the polarization of the two input signals has the same spatial orientation and, vice versa, separate from a combined dual-mode signal with orthogonal polarization two single-mode output signals oriented with a mutually parallel polarization, said transducer must be able to reduce the overall dimensions, in particular in the transverse direction with respect to the direction of propagation of the dual-mode signals through the associated dual-mode output/input port of the apparatus, being also able to ensure that the connection with the said transmission/reception devices is as simple and direct as possible.
  • an orthomode transducer comprises:
  • the two single-mode input/output ports 10 and 20 lie in planes parallel to each other and simultaneously their sections in planes orthogonal to the direction X-X of movement of the signals, which in the example are rectangular, have respective larger bases 10a,20a parallel to each other and, consequently, the directions of polarization of the two input/output signals SV,SH are also parallel to each other; in addition to this, said transverse sections of the single-mode input/output ports 10,20 lie in planes orthogonal to the plane in which the transverse section of the dual-mode output/input port 30 of the transducer lies.
  • the two single-mode signal ports 10,20 are situated opposite to each other relative to the longitudinal direction Y-Y of propagation of the dual-mode wave output/input from/into the port 30 itself; although not shown, it is envisaged, however, that these ports 10,20 may be arranged on the same side relative to the longitudinal direction Y-Y.
  • the bases 10a,20a themselves may be rotated through 90° so as to be arranged parallel to each other and to a third vertical direction Z-Z orthogonal to the longitudinal direction Y-Y and to the transverse direction X-X.
  • the dual-mode signal output/input port 30 is preferably connected to a dual-mode output/input waveguide 31 which is generally rectangular and has dimensions such as to allow inside it the simultaneous propagation of two signals SV and SH1, respectively, with orthogonal polarization which are indicated in the figures by means of a mixed dot-dash line.
  • the dual-mode signal waveguide 31 has a square section. It is also envisaged that, if required by the different section of the upstream/downstream devices to which the transducer is to be coupled, the waveguide 31 itself may be associated with a square/circular adaptor waveguide 32 coupled to an associated output port 32a with a circular section.
  • the transducer according to the invention has at least one flange 12,22 (a pair of flanges in the example shown) which are respectively associated with the ports 10,20 so as to allow mechanical coupling of the transducer to the upstream/downstream devices from/to which the single-mode signals SV,SH are received/sent.
  • the two flanges 12,22 are parallel to each other and each of them has a respective opening 12a,22a with a cross-section corresponding to that of the associated port 10,20 so that, once assembly has been performed, the openings are coaxial so as to allow the free passage of the signals.
  • the single-mode signal input/output ports 10, 20, as well as the respective flanges 12,22 associated with them are arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane parallel to them and containing: the longitudinal direction Y-Y of propagation of the dual-mode input/output signal and the vertical direction Z-Z orthogonal to the longitudinal direction Y-Y and transverse direction X-X.
  • waveguide portions are arranged between the single-mode input/output ports 10, 20 and the common dual-mode output/input port 30, said waveguide portions being able to interact with the passing signals so as to produce the desired combination/separation effect.
  • the dimensions of the waveguide portions are such as to ensure the propagation of the two orthogonal signals and simultaneously prevent the propagation of higher modes which would result in the guide becoming multimodal with dispersion and generation of interference.
  • the dual-mode waveguide portion 31, in the square embodiment, owing to its intrinsic high orthogonal mode separation characteristic, may be lengthened as required without limiting the electrical performance and/or the useful bandwidth of the device, so as to allow adjustment of the length of the transducer depending on the system requirements, for example so as to adapt it to the dimensions of another device with which mechanical compatibility is required.
  • radio relays with a 1+1 configuration, in which two transceivers are connected to the antenna by means of a device which, depending on the desired system configuration, may be a directional coupler, a circulator or an orthogonal transducer.
