Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une antenne destinée à la reception des signaux radio-électriques émis par les satellites géostationnaires. The present invention relates to an antenna intended for the reception of radioelectric signals emitted by geostationary satellites.
Ces types d'émissions sont actuellement captées à l'aide de para bolides de tailles variables, encombrants et peu esthétiques. Leur angle d'ouverture, èxtrèmement réduit, ne permet pas la réception de signaux provenant de deux ou plusieurs points géographiques diffèrents. Il est nécessaire, pour y satisfaire, de motoriser ces aèriens à l'aide d'un dispositif couteux (moteur, positionneur, monture polaire).De plus, les types d'émissions dans cette bande de fréquences, notemment en matière de télévision directe par satellite, sont polarisées soit linéairement (horizontalement et verticalement), soit circulairement (dextogyre et levogyre); ceci entraine, pour un même paraboloide, soit l'utilisation de plusieurs sources associées à un coupleur, soit l'utilisation de bipolariseurs électriques, et ce, pour chaque bande de fréquence de la ou des sources. Enfin, l'installation de ce type d'antenne nécessite une infrastructure lourde et de sérieuses connaissances pour effectuer un pointage précis. These types of programs are currently captured using para bolides of varying sizes, bulky and unattractive. Their opening angle, extremely reduced, does not allow the reception of signals coming from two or more different geographical points. To meet this requirement, it is necessary to motorize these aircrafts using an expensive device (motor, positioner, pole mount). In addition, the types of emissions in this frequency band, especially in direct television by satellite, are polarized either linearly (horizontally and vertically) or circularly (dextogyre and levogyre); this entails, for the same paraboloid, either the use of several sources associated with a coupler, or the use of electric bipolarizers, and this, for each frequency band of the source (s). Finally, the installation of this type of antenna requires a heavy infrastructure and serious knowledge to perform accurate pointing.
Le dispositif objet de la présente invention permet de s'affranchir des précèdentes contraintes. I1 est basé sur l'utilisation de sources collectrices constituées par des spirales d'Archimède imbriquées à large bande passante et diagramme de rayonnement symètrique. Ces sources sont imprimées aur quatre coins d'éléments carrés constitués en triplaque d'épaisseur adèquate et enroulées en sens inverse l'une par rapport à l'autre, cette disposition permettant la réception et le traitement de toutes les polarisations
L'énergie captée est acheminée du triplaque vers un guide d'ondes, dont la bande passante a été calculée pour valoir 5200 MHZ, via une sonde règlable. Chaque guide d'ondes abouti sur un même guide central collecteur dont une èxtrémité est fermée. L'autre extrèmité est ouverte et comporte une embase permettant la mise en place d'un convertisseur de fréquences, ou'deux à l'aide d'un coupleur.The device which is the subject of the present invention makes it possible to overcome the previous constraints. I1 is based on the use of collecting sources constituted by nested Archimedes spirals with wide pass band and symmetrical radiation diagram. These sources are printed on four corners of square elements formed in triplate of adequate thickness and wound in opposite directions with respect to each other, this arrangement allowing the reception and the processing of all the polarizations.
The energy captured is sent from the triplate to a waveguide, whose bandwidth has been calculated to be 5200 MHZ, via an adjustable probe. Each waveguide terminates on the same central collector guide, one end of which is closed. The other end is open and has a base allowing the installation of a frequency converter, or two using a coupler.
Selon le type d'émissions à exploiter, les diamètres et le nombre d'enroulements des sources peuvent varier. I1 en est de meme pour l'organisation des sources, des triplaques et des guides autour du guide central collecteur.Depending on the type of emissions to be exploited, the diameters and the number of windings of the sources may vary. It is the same for the organization of sources, triplates and guides around the central collector guide.
La figure 1 représente le dispositif inventé dans une de ses configurations. Les sources (1), en présence d'un signal compatible avec leur bande passante l'acheminent via le triplaque (2), la sonde (3), le guide (4).vers le collecteur (5). Il peut ensuite être traité par le convertisseur de fréquences (6). Figure 1 shows the device invented in one of its configurations. The sources (1), in the presence of a signal compatible with their bandwidth, route it via the triplate (2), the probe (3), the guide (4). To the collector (5). It can then be processed by the frequency converter (6).
