- the antenna terminal 100 comprises at least one radio frequency chain 9, 18 mounted on the rotating plate 2 and adapted to cooperate with the reflecting system 4,5,6 for the transmission and/or the reception of electromagnetic signals.
- the at least one radio frequency chain 9, 18 is mechanically coupled to the rotating plate 2 and is adapted to be stationary with respect the support base 2 in the rotation of the reflecting system around the second axis B.
- stationary means that the radio frequency chain 9, 18 does not rotate around the rotation axis B of the reflecting system 4,5,6. Thanks to this embodiment, there is no use of RF rotary joints and this advantageously reduces the gain losses.
- the radio frequency chain 9 comprises an illuminator 10, a polarization rotator 11, an orthomode transducer (OMT) 12, a filter 13, a low noise frequency down-converter and a low noise amplifier representing together a low noise block (LNB) 14, a waveguide to coaxial cable adapter 15.
- the antenna terminal 100 comprises:
- the antenna terminal 100 comprises an amplifier and an high frequency converter 27, or block up converter (BUC) 27, coupled to the radiofrequency chain 9 for the signal transmission through the radiofrequency chain 9.
- BUC block up converter
- the second radio frequency chain 18 may similarly comprise an illuminator 19, a polarization rotator 20, an orthomode transducer (OMT) 21, a filter 22, a low noise frequency down-converter and a low noise amplifier representing together a low noise block (LNB) 23, a waveguide to coaxial cable adapter 24.
- OMT orthomode transducer
- LNB low noise block
- the antenna terminal 100 comprises:
- the antenna terminal 100 comprises an amplifier and an high frequency converter 28, or block up converter (BUC) 28, coupled to the radiofrequency chain 18 for the signal transmission through the radiofrequency chain 18.
- BUC block up converter
- the illuminator(s) 10, 19 is (are) designed so as to have an irradiation diagram having a very high circular symmetry. In this way, since the illumination of the rotating mirror 6 does not change it is possible to avoid gain losses when changing the elevation angle.
- the rotating mirror 6 has the function of deviating of about 90 degrees the transmitted and/or received electromagnetic signal for redirecting it towards the secondary mirror 5 and/or the illuminators 10,19.
- only one radio frequency chain is provided, for example the radio frequency chain 9, and the rotating mirror 6 is preferably provided with only one reflecting surface.
- the rotating mirror 6 can be rotated around the rotation axis C for example between a working angular position and a rest angular position, for mechanically turning-on and switching-off the antenna terminal 100 respectively.
- the rotating mirror 6 In the working position the rotating mirror 6 is oriented in such a way that a reflecting surface of the mirror 6 is oriented for optimizing the transmission of the electromagnetic signal between the radio frequency chain 9 and the secondary mirror 5.
- the rotating mirror 6 In the rest position the rotating mirror 6 is oriented in such a way that reflecting surface of the mirror 6 is oriented for minimizing the transmission of the electromagnetic signal between the radio frequency chain 9 and the secondary mirror.
- the rotating mirror 6 is provided with a surface, preferably an absorbing surface, opposite to the reflecting surface and in the rest position such surface can face the secondary mirror 5 or the input/output port, or illuminator 10, of the radiofrequency chain 9.
- This feature can be used as a redundancy of the radiation emission switch off, in case of failure of the primary switch off equipment, consisting of a reference signal at the input of BUCs 27 and 28.
- the antenna terminal 100 is provided with two radio frequency chains 9, 18 and the rotating mirror 6 is adapted to be rotated around the axis C between two angular positions respectively for selectively enabling the operation of one 9 or the other 18 radiofrequency chain.
- the antenna terminal 100 according to the second example is such to guarantee the continuity of operation of the antenna terminal 100 even in the case in which there is the failure of one of the two radio frequency chains.
- the rotating mirror 6 is interposed between said chains 9, 18, a rotation of the mirror 6 of 90 degrees may be operated in order to selectively enable the operation of one 9 or the other 18 radiofrequency chain.
- the rotating mirror 6 can be provided with only one reflecting surface.
- the antenna terminal 100 may be provided with two radio frequency chains 9, 18 and the rotating mirror 6 can be rotated among two angular positions respectively for selectively enabling the operation of one or the other radiofrequency chain 9 or 18. If the two radio frequency chains 9, 18 are configured to operate on different frequency bands, the antenna terminal 100 according to the third example can selectively operate on different frequency bands, being therefore a dual-band antenna terminal 100.
- one of the two radio frequency chains 9, 18 can be designed to operate on the Ka band and the other radio frequency chain can be designed to operate on the Ku band.
- the rotating mirror 6 is provided with two reflecting surfaces, one of which is numerically optimized in its shape for the frequency band of one of the two frequency chain 9 and the other of which is independently numerically optimized in its shape for the frequency band of the other radio frequency chain 18. If the two radio frequency chains 9,18 are aligned along a same axis and the rotating mirror 6 is interposed between said chains 9, 18, a rotation of the mirror 6 of 90 degrees may be operated in order to selectively enable the operation of one 9 or the other 18 radiofrequency chain.
- the rotating mirror 6 can also be rotated to advantageously allow a fine tuning of the pointing direction of the reflecting system 4,5,6 and/or to compensate possible degradation effects due to the ageing of the antenna terminal 100.
- the hole or notch F is placed on the lower part of the main reflector 4, so as to be relatively close to the rotating plate 2. Accordingly, also the at least one radio frequency chain 9,18 is placed close to the rotating plate 2 by means of the brackets 16, 25.
- This expedient advantageously reduces the mechanical stress of the system during the pointing and tracking of the antenna terminal 100. This effect is further improved when also the rotation axis B of the main reflector 4 is relatively close to the rotating plate 2, for example at a maximum distance of 10 cm from the rotating plate 2.
- one illuminator 10,19 is such to transmit said signal, in the form of a spherical wave, towards the rotating mirror 6 which reflects said signal towards the secondary mirror 5 in such a way as to avoid significant unbalances in the illumination intensity of the border of said secondary mirror 5.
- the latter transforms the spherical, or pseudo-spherical wavefront, coming from the rotating mirror 6 in an astigmatic wavefront so making unequal the curvature rays of the reflected wavefront with respect to the principal planes XZ and YZ of figure 8 .
- the wavefront coming from the subreflector 5 illuminates the main reflector 4.
- the main reflector 4 is such to transform the astigmatic wavefront in a planar wavefront. Such wavefront may also be inclined with respect the axis Z, for reducing or eliminating a partial shade region introduced by the subreflector 5.
- the design of the surfaces of the main reflector 4 and the subreflector 5 it is required to force the uniformity of the optical path for every possible ray emitted by the source of the electromagnetic signal according to the "stationary phase" principle. According to a preferred embodiment this is obtained by designing the reflecting surface of the main reflector 4 as a quartic surface, i.e.
- the principal sections of the surfaces of the main reflector 5 and the subreflector 5 are conical sections.
- the principal sections of the main reflector 4 are both parabolas but with different focal lengths, while the principal sections of the subreflector 5 are both hyperboles but with different focal lengths.
- the antenna unit 100 is configured like a three-reflector beam waveguide antenna.
- This expedient together with the shaping of the reflecting surfaces allows to design significantly compact mechanical pointing low profile antennas.
- Said low profile antennas may also have an asymmetrical profile, that is to say that they may have a radiating aperture whose width is greater than the height, such as for example an elliptical, or a super-elliptical or a rectangular aperture.
- the above combination of expedients allows to minimize the number of reflectors (the minimum number is three) in small and medium sized antennas, that is to say antenna having dimensions generally comprised in the range 30-100 wavelengths, without significantly impacting on the overall efficiency of the antenna.
- the antenna unit 100 may be further provided with a tracking system comprising one or more of the following components: a low loss radio frequency connection 29, an antenna control unit 30 (ACU), an inertial measurement unit 31 (IMU), a GPS receiver 32, a narrow band receiver 35, a device for the extraction of the reference signal 36 to be tracked, a protection radome 33.
- a tracking system comprising one or more of the following components: a low loss radio frequency connection 29, an antenna control unit 30 (ACU), an inertial measurement unit 31 (IMU), a GPS receiver 32, a narrow band receiver 35, a device for the extraction of the reference signal 36 to be tracked, a protection radome 33.
- the antenna terminal 100 is such to fully attain the proposed objects, since it is capable to add one or more advanced functionalities to the prior art antennas.
- the antenna unit may be designed so as to be very compact and may perform the elevation scanning moving only the reflecting system 4,5,6 and not the radio-frequency electronic components.
- the at least one radio frequency chain 9,18 does not rotate together the reflecting system 4,5,6 around the rotation axis B, radio frequency joints are not required so it is possible to avoid gain losses.
