- This second embodiment proves to be perfectly adapted for many applications, in particular in the field of the automobile and its ACC applications (of the English "Auto Cruise Control"), implementing sensors of long-distance detection integrating antennas operating at 77 GHz.
- the radome has a main structure on which is deposited the heating system, this main structure having an intrinsic transparency to radio waves in the given range, greater than 70%.
- the main structure is made of poly (ethylene naphthalate) or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, although other plastic materials may be envisaged, without departing from the scope of the invention.

- the antenna is preferably designed to radiate and / or capture radio waves of 24 GHz, 60 GHz or 77 GHz. Other frequencies or frequency ranges are of course conceivable, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- FIG. 1 represents a schematic view of an assembly according to the invention, for example of the type of long-range detection sensor
- FIG. 2 represents a front view of the radome equipping the assembly shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view showing the nano-element strips of the radome, arranged parallel to the direction of polarization of the antenna.
- This set 1 is a system dedicated to the field of telecommunications, and includes an antenna 2 operating at a frequency of 60 GHz, and a radome 4 protecting this antenna.
- terrestrial telecommunication networks use a large number of point-to-point links (radio-relay links) intended to transmit communications over long distances, or to interconnect different parts of the same network.
- the antennas of these links are generally arranged on high points (pylons, buildings, mountains) and thus naturally exposed to bad weather including frost and snow. Typical bands used are 30-45 GHz, 57-66 GHz and 71-86 GHz.
- the assembly 1 could be a proximity sensor, with an antenna operating at a frequency of 24 GHz.
- the invention covers all together 1 comprising an antenna and its radome, with the antenna capable of radiating and / or sensing radio waves in a given range of frequencies from 3 MHz to 300 GHz.
- the main fields of application are automotive, military and aeronautics.
- FIG. 2 there is shown the radome 4 which forms part of the outer casing 6 of the assembly 1.
- the radome 4 is here planar, but could have a more complex shape, for example single or double curvature. It comprises a main plastic structure 8, having a transparency intrinsic to the radio waves concerned, greater than 70%. Conventionally, this transparency corresponds to the percentage of transmitted radiation, defined by the ratio between the power transmitted and the incident power.
- the radio-wave transparency of the main structure can reach very high values, depending on the nature of the material. For example, a structure 8 of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), 3 mm thick, has a transparency to radio waves of the order of 72%.
- polystyrene resin polystyrene resin
- KAPTON ® polyimide polycarbonate
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- ASA copolymer Acrylonytrile Styrene Acrylate PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PES.
- the thickness of the main structure 8 is best adapted to optimize the transparency to radio waves. It is typically of the order of 1 to 3 mm, but can of course be lower as for the example of PEN described above. In general, the decrease in the thickness of the structure makes it possible to increase the transparency to the radio waves.
- One of the particularities of the invention lies in the presence of a heating system 10 equipping the main structure 8 of the radome. It is a system comprising resistive heating elements forming strips 12 spaced from each other, and parallel to each other. In this respect, it is stated that when the structure 8 is non-planar, the parallelism between the strips 12 is characterized by the parallelism of the planes containing each of these strips.
- the strips 12 have a first width Ll, identical for all the bands. These also have the same length for example between 2 and 20 cm, and preferably between 5 and 15 cm, and the same thickness which is for example between 100 and 50,000 nm.
- the strips 12 are each made using a network of nano-elements 18 comprising metal nanowires. By nanowires, it is understood elements whose ratio between the length and diameter is greater than 10, and whose diameter may vary from 20 to 800 nm.
- metal nanowires 18 are preferably made using a metal of the Ag, Au, Ni or Cu type, or with a material containing at least 50% of one of the aforementioned metals.
- Metal nanowires made in different materials selected from the group mentioned above can be mixed within the network deposited on the structure 8, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- nano-elements can also be integrated therein, such as carbon nanotubes and / or derivatives of this type of nanotubes, graphene sheets and / or derivatives of this type of material, and / or nano-elements based on boron nitride or metal oxides, for example hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), ZnO or SiO 2 type.
- the nano-elements 18 form a percolating surface network deposited on the surface of the main structure 8 forming a substrate. Its surface density may be of the order of 10 to 100 mg / m 2 , and more preferably of the order of 20 to 70 mg / m 2 .
- each strip 12 there is provided respectively an electrical input contact 14 and an electrical output contact 16, each made with a thin copper blade or silver paste.
- These contacts 14, 16 have linear resistances much lower than those of the strips 12, to ensure the resistive heating in the network of metal nanowires 18. They are for example of the metal film type, obtained by evaporation or Ti / Au spraying, Cr / Au, Cr / Alu.
- the deposit may also be carried out using a lacquer, for example a silver lacquer, or using electrically conductive adhesives.
- the electrical contacts 14, 16 make it possible to apply an electrical voltage to the networks 18 forming resistive heating elements.
- This voltage is delivered by an appropriate apparatus 20, possibly adapted for feeding the antenna 2, as shown schematically in FIG. envisaged supply voltages are between 1 and 20V, and preferably between 1 and 12V.
- the equivalent resistance formed by all the strips 12 of the heating system 10 is for example between 5 and 250 ohm.
- the strips 12 are spaced apart by inter-band zones 22 on which the main structure 8 is left free, that is to say without deposition of nanowires 18.
- These zones 22 have a second identical width L2 for all the zones, and greater than or equal to the first width L1 of the strips 12.
- the ratio between the two widths L1 and L2 is therefore preferably greater than or equal to 1.
- the sum of the two widths L1 and L2 corresponds moreover to the period P according to which the bands 12 succeed each other on the main structure 8.
- the first width L1 is between 0.5 and 3 mm, and even more preferably of the order of 2 mm, while the second width L2 is preferably between 2 and 8 mm.
- L1 and P are chosen in relation to the wavelength of the incident signal.
- the associated wavelength is 3.9 mm for working frequencies at 77 GHz, or 12.5 mm for working frequencies of 24 GHz.
- the first width L1 of the strips 12 of silver nanowires is defined as being as small as possible, for example 0.5 mm, and whose maximum value is of the order of ⁇ / 2, ie typically about 2 mm to 77 mm. GHz.
- the period P may be substantially equal to a multiple of ⁇ , ie typically about 4, 8 or 12 mm at 77 GHz.
- n corresponding to a natural number other than 1.
- a margin of plus or minus 10% remains perfectly acceptable between the value of P and the value of the product ⁇ . ⁇ .
- Deposition of the nanowire strips 18 is done in a conventional manner.
- the nanowires can for example be deposited at high flow rate and at low temperature using a spray and a stencil masking the inter-band zones 22.
- the deposition of nanowires can be carried out on the entire surface of the structure 8, to then be structured in order to reveal the strips 12 by eliminating the nanowires at the inter-band zones 22. This elimination can be achieved by ablation (solution etching or laser firing).
- the technique of deposition by nebulization is also envisaged, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the nanowires 18 are previously obtained in a conventional manner.
- copper nanowires can be synthesized according to the technique disclosed in the publication Nano Research 2014, 7 (3): 315-324.
- silver nanowires these can be prepared according to the procedure described in Nanotechnology 2013, 24, 215501.
- the structure 8, equipped with its strips 12 of metal nanowires 18, may be coated with an anti-scratch protection layer (not visible in FIG. 2), and / or with a thermal conduction layer to best diffuse the heat generated by Joule effect on the entire surface of the radome.
- This layer may be of the polymer, resin, varnish or other type, or an adhesive film.
- it is a PSA barrier adhesive laminated on the structure 8, or a PU polyurethane varnish applied by spray on this structure.
- the radome 4 may have optical semi-transparency properties, with a transmittance greater than 60% in the visible range, namely for wavelengths ranging from 390 to 780 nm.
- This transmittance also called transmission factor or transparency, may nevertheless be greater for the radome 4, for example between 70 and 90%.
- This very high transmittance range can be obtained by judiciously choosing the material of the structure 8, its thickness, and judiciously fixing the widths L1 and L2. This allows the radome 4 to retain its optical semi-transparency functions, when such a function is desired.
- the radome equipped with the strips 12 has an overall transparency to the radio waves concerned, greater than 70%.
- the simple structuring in bands or "rake teeth" of the resistive elements actually makes it possible to obtain a high transparency to the radio waves, while providing a satisfactory heating to generate a defrosting or demisting.
- This This effect is all the more surprising when, when the entire surface of the structure 8 is coated with nanowires, the transparency to the radio waves does not exceed 25%, even by lowering the density of these nanowires to very low values.
- This level of transparency is quite insufficient to allow the associated system to function properly, and the low density of nanowires leading to this level of transparency does not in any case make it possible to obtain suitable temperatures to ensure correct defrosting of the system. radome.
- the first column represents the surface electrical resistance of the layer of nanowires, this resistance being inversely proportional to the density of the nanowires within the layer.
- the second column corresponds to the transmittance for a wavelength of 550 nm.
- the transparency to radio waves (RF transparency) is the subject of the third column, for waves transmitted at 60GHz.
- the fourth column reports the temperature obtained on the surface of the radome.
- the development of the silver nanowires in solution is carried out according to the following method: 1.766 g of PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) are added to 2.6 mg of NaCl (sodium chloride) in 40 ml of EG (ethylene glycol). The mixture is stirred at 600 rpm (rpm) at 120 ° C until complete dissolution of the PVP and NaCl (about 4-5 minutes). This mixture is then added dropwise to a solution of 40 ml of Ethylene Glycol ("EG”) in which are dissolved 0.68 g of AgNO 3 (silver nitrate). The oil bath is then heated to 160 ° C and stirring at 700 rpm is operated for 80 minutes. Three washes are made with methanol by centrifuging at 2000 rpm for 20 min, then the nanowires are precipitated with acetone, and finally redispersed in water or methanol.
- PVP polyvinylpyrrolidone
- the substrate chosen is a PEN substrate of 125 ⁇ of 10 ⁇ 10 cm. This substrate corresponds to the main structure of the radome.
- the substrate here has an intrinsic RF transparency of 98%, for waves generated at 60 GHz by the antenna
- the electrical contacts consist of a deposit of 150 nm Au, made by cathodic sputtering before printing the nanowire strips.
- the elaboration of the strips is carried out by full-plate spray of a network of silver nanowires with a homogeneous density of a solution of 0.5 g / l metal nanowires in methanol. This step can be performed using a Sonotek ® spray. Four samples with increasing nanowire densities are prepared.
- the protective layer of the radome consists of a PSA barrier adhesive laminated on the sample.
- the ambient temperature during measurements is 25 ° C.
- the temperatures given in the fourth column are measured after 2 minutes of stabilization at the applied voltage, here 12V.
- the heating rates are of the order of 1 ° C / s.
- the first example is ideally suited for the telecommunications field, with antennas operating at around 60 GHz.
- the operating conditions are identical to those mentioned above in points A to D, with the following exceptions:
- nanowire strips are produced with a first width L1 of 2 mm, and the inter-band zones are first fixed with a second width L 2 of 2 mm (leading to a period P of 4 mm), then the second width is fixed at 6 mm (leading to a period P of 8 mm).
- the surface electrical resistance is extremely difficult to determine on each band, which is why the first column of the table provides information on the electrical resistance of each band.
- This resistance is also called “resistance 2 points", because it is measured between the two occasions of each electrical contact, at both ends of one of the bands.
- This first example shows that it is possible to obtain an extremely high RF transparency with carefully chosen values for the values L1 and L2. More precisely, with a value L 1 of 2 mm and a value L 2 of 2 mm, the RF transparency can reach 98% at 66 GHz (with a band electrical resistance of between 3 and 4 ⁇ , preferably 3.5 ⁇ ). This transparency obtained for the test described in the first line of the table is notably higher than the transparency obtained during the second test associated with the second line.
- the generated resistive heating is also very satisfactory for the combination chosen, since a temperature of 44 ° C was obtained with the application of a voltage of 5V. As such, it is noted that an increase in the applied voltage allows a rise in the surface temperature. Heating limits are however associated with the thermal resistance of the plastic structures 8. For example, with a voltage of 9V for the second test, the temperature goes to 60 ° C instead of 40 ° C obtained at 6V.
- the second example proves to be perfectly suited for the field of long-range detection sensors for the automotive field, with an antenna operating at a frequency of the order of 77 GHz.
- This type of sensor is particularly suitable for ACC applications.
- the main structure of the radome is made on 2.4 mm thick ABS, with an intrinsic RF transparency of 72%, while for the third test, the main structure of the radome is identical to that of the first test; nanowire strips are produced with a first width L1 of 2 mm, and the inter-band zones are first fixed with a second width L2 of 4.5 mm (leading to a period P of 6.5 mm for this purpose).
- the second width is fixed at 7.5 mm (leading to a P period of 9.5 mm for this second test), and finally the second width is fixed at 5.5 mm (leading to a period P 7.5 mm for this third test).
- This second example also shows that it is possible to obtain an extremely high RF transparency with carefully chosen values for the values L1 and L2, and for a principal structure of a given nature. More specifically, with a value Ll of 2 mm and a value L2 between 4 and 5 mm, preferably 4.5 mm, the RF transparency can reach 97% at 77 GHz (with a band electrical resistance of between 9 and 10 ⁇ preferably 9.5 ⁇ ).
- This RF transparency obtained during the test described in the first line of the table is notably higher than the RF transparency obtained during the second test associated with the second line.
- the density of nanowires is lower and the second width L2 of the inter-band areas is higher. Intuitively, this should lead to increase the RF transparency, but the tests reveal the opposite that there is a particular combination for the values of L1 and L2 to maintain a near perfect RF transparency.
- the generated resistive heating is also very satisfactory for the combination chosen, since a temperature of 40 ° C was obtained with the application of a voltage of 10V.
- the most satisfactory combination lies in a value L1 of 2 mm and a value L2 between 5 and 6 mm, preferably 5.5 mm.
- the RF transparency can then reach 98% at 77 GHz (with a band electrical resistance of between 8 and 9 ⁇ , preferably 8.5 ⁇ ).
- the generated resistive heating is also very satisfactory for the combination chosen, since a temperature of 42 ° C was obtained with the application of a voltage of 9V.
