- Figures 1 and 2 respectively illustrate a developed view and a front view of a helical antenna comprising four radiating strands helically wound.
- Such an antenna comprises two parts 1, 2.
- Part 1 comprises a conductive area 10 and four radiating strands 1 1, 12, 13 and 14.
- the helical type antenna comprises four radiating strands 1 1, 12, 13, 14 helically wound in a form of revolution around a sleeve 15, for example.
- the strands 1 1 -14 are connected on the one hand in short circuit at a first end 1 1 1, 121, 131, 141 of the strands to the conductive zone 10 and on the other hand at the a second end 12, 122, 132, 142 of the strands to the supply circuit 20.
- the radiating strands 1 1 -14 of the antenna may be identical and are for example four in number.
- the antenna is in this case quadrifilar.
- the sleeve 15 on which the antenna is wound is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1 to form the antenna as shown in FIG.
- the radiating strands 1 -14 are oriented so that a support axis ⁇ ', BB', CC and DD 'of each strand forms an angle ⁇ with respect to any plane orthogonal to any direct line L of the sleeve 15.
- This angle corresponds to the helical winding angle of the radiating strands.
- the radiating strands 1 1 -14 are each constituted by a metallized zone.
- the metallized zones of part 1 are symmetrical bands with respect to a guide axis ⁇ ', BB', CC ⁇ DD 'of the strands.
- the distance d between two successive strands is defined along any perpendicular to any line L of the sleeve 15 as the distance between two points, each defined as the intersection of the said perpendicular with an axis of the strands.
- this distance d will be fixed at a quarter of the perimeter of the sleeve 15.
- the substrate supporting the metal strips is helically wound on the lateral surface of the sleeve 15.
- the two parts 1, 2 are formed on a printed circuit 100.
- the radiating strands 1 -14 are then metal strips obtained by removal of material on each side of the strips of a metallized zone, on the surface of the printed circuit 100.
- the printed circuit 100 is intended to be wound around a sleeve 15 having a general shape of revolution, such as a cylinder or a cone, for example.
- Part 2 of the antenna comprises a supply circuit 20 of the antenna.
- the supply circuit 20 of the antenna is constituted by a transmission line of the meander-shaped ribbon line type, ensuring both the function of distribution of the supply and adaptation of the radiating strands 1 1 -14 of the antenna.
- the supply of the radiating elements is at equal amplitudes with a progression of phases in quadrature.
- the reduction of the size of the helix-type antennas as represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 is obtained by using for the radiating strands of the antenna part 1 particular patterns which are going to be described below.
- Part 2 of the antenna is of known type and will not be more detailed.
- the radiating strands are constituted by a fractal, comprising segments constituted by a sinusoidal curve.
- a segment is an elemental element of the fractal pattern.
- FIG. 3a illustrates a reference pattern of a Von Koch fractal having three elementary elements 30, 31, 33. Such a pattern is a fractal of order 1.
- the elementary element is a rectilinear segment.
- Fractals have the property of self-similarity, they are formed of copies of themselves at different scales. They are self-similar and very irregular curves.
- a fractal is composed in particular of reduced replicas, of the reference pattern.
- a fractal is generated by iteration of steps of reduction of the reference pattern then application of the pattern obtained to the reference pattern.
- the higher orders are obtained by applying to the middle of each segment of the reference pattern this same reduced reference pattern, and so on.
- the reference pattern may be simple or alternating with respect to a direction axis of the pattern.
- the choice of the pattern itself is guided by the radiation performance of the antenna.
- each rectilinear segment of the fractal pattern is replaced by a sinusoidal segment.
- Such a replacement makes it possible to increase the deployed length of the radiating strand for a given height or to reduce the height of the antenna for a given deployed length.
- the resonance frequency of the antenna is fixed by the extended length of the radiating strands.
- This extended length is a function of the propeller parameters (height, radius and number of revolutions) and the geometry of the pattern used.
- FIG. 3b illustrates a reference pattern used for the strands of the helix antenna, each segment 30 ', 31', 32 ', 33' of the fractal pattern is constituted by a sinusoidal segment.
- FIG. 3a there is a first-order Von Koch fractal pattern composed of four rectilinear segments of identical length (L 73, L 'being the' horizontal 'length of the pattern.)
- L 73, L ' being the' horizontal 'length of the pattern.
- FIG. of length L73 of the Von Koch pattern that of FIG. 3a is replaced by a sinusoidal segment (ie a half-period of sinusoid).
- a fractal pattern is defined by three parameters:
- one strand of the antenna is defined by the following parameters:
- y SkL'.sm ( ⁇ . X ⁇
- S is a value integer in ⁇ - 1
- + l ⁇ constant on a segment
- k is the ratio between the amplitude of the sinusoid and its half-wavelength (half-period)
- this reference pattern is constituted by a succession of alternating sinusoid arcs constituting a fractal pattern.
- the function can be defined segment by segment or by adopting a curvilinear coordinate along the pattern,
- the functional unit defined above has been applied in segments of two segments (segments 30, 31 on the one hand and segments 32, 33 on the other hand).
- the parameter k makes it possible to increase the length deployed for each corresponding segment of the fractal Von Koch: instead of having a short rectilinear segment, there is a sinusoidal segment of greater length. The larger the amplitude of the sinusoid, the larger the length deployed. However, care must be taken to avoid overlapping radiating strands when k takes too high values.
- FIGS. 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a and 8a illustrate a reference pattern (fractal of order 1) whose segments are rectilinear.
- the reference pattern is a triangle in which the base is deleted.
- the reference pattern is a square in which the base is deleted.
- the reference pattern comprises two isosceles trapezes in opposition and spaced from the width of the small base, in which the large base has been removed. The angle ⁇ between one side extending from the small base to the large base.
- the reference pattern comprises two equilateral triangles in opposition and spaced apart from the width of one side, in which the base has been removed.
- Figures 4b, 5b and 6b, 7b and 8b respectively illustrate the order 2 of a fractal pattern following an iteration of the reference patterns of Figures 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a, respectively.
- FIGS. 4c, 5c, 6c respectively illustrate the order 3 of a fractal pattern following two iterations of the reference patterns of FIGS. 4a, 5a, 6a.
- the angle ⁇ is the angle between the first inclined segment and the deleted base.
- n being the order of the fractal curve. In this way, one can extend a strand length in the same length.
- This reference pattern is called a "Von Koch Modified" pattern.
- each segment constituting the fractal patterns described above is constituted by a sinusoidal curve.
- these patterns are not shown but in view of the description above, the skilled person understands how to achieve the helix antenna whose radiating strands are constituted by a fractal pattern whose segments are constituted by a sinusoidal segment.
- a helix type antenna comprising a Von Koch type fractal whose segments have been replaced by sinusoidal segments has been realized and tested.
- Figure 10 illustrates an embodiment of such an antenna.
- the performance of such an antenna was measured and compared to a quadrifilar helix (reference) antenna comprising rectilinear strands, the antenna having a height of 514 mm.
- the table below lists the different parameters used for the radiating strands.
- the basic fractal is a motif of Von Koch.
- the relative size (%) is calculated as the ratio between the height of the compact antenna and the height of the reference antenna (514 mm).
- the antenna based on the Von Koch pattern with sinusoidal segments of order 2 and with two cells.
- This antenna has the same 137MHz pattern and resonance frequency (144MHz).
- its height is 198 mm (relative size 38.5%), a reduction of 61.5% of the height of the reference antenna.
