Definitions
- This invention relates to antennas and, more particularly, to a low noise temperature paraboloidal antenna.
- the object of the present invention to improve the noise characteristics of'antenna systems and, more particularly, to reduce spillover in paraboloidal antennas while maintaining a reasonable antenna gain.
- a ring focus paraboloidal reflector as described in my Fatent No. 2,482,15 8 issued September 20, 1949, is illuminated by or focuses upon a feed located in the vicinity of the reflector ring focus.
- the feed is connected by a waveguide to transmitting and/or receiving equipment situated behind the reflecting surface of the paraboloid.
- a radial transmission line forming part of the feed, carries energy between the waveguide and the ring focus with annular uniformity of phase, amplitude and polarization.
- a gap the width of which is sufficient to couple all the currents in the waveguide wall, whether lon itudinal, transverse or oblique, equally to and from the radial transmission line is cut in the walls of the waveguide. This eifects signal coupling with annular uniformity of intensity.
- a piston strategically located with respect to the gap terminates the waveguide so that the resultant signal (the combination of the reflected signal and the directly coupled signal) coupled between the waveguide and the radial transmission line occurs in time phase circumferentially, i.e., with annular uniformity of phase.
- an iris is provided inside the waveguide in the proximity of the gap and between the previously mentioned equipment and the gap.
- Annular quarter-wavelength deep corrugations cut transversely in the walls of the radial transmission line 3,lh2,858 Patented Dec. 22, 1964 afford a surface presenting uniform annular characteristics to the signal carried by the radial transmission line independent of the local polarization in any particular radial direction.
- the feed accommodates and radiates or intercepts a signal wave front exhibiting uniform annular phase, intensity, and polarization and a.
- the peak (of the cosine) intensity may be directed toward any portion of the reflector, depending upon the size of the reflector, which provides the most advantageous compromise between minimum spillover and maximum antenna gain under the particular circumstances.
- a podestal having a base substantially equal in diameter to the ring focus is mounted upon the reflector to furnish a housing for either a first stage of amplification for a receiver or a last stage of, amplification for a transmitter.
- the pedestal also constitutes one wall of the radial transmission line, and isolates opposite sides of the reflector from one another.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation of an antenna system illustrating the invention
- FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the antenna of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a modification of the feed shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
- FIG. 4 is a feed according to the invention having a box horn aperture; and 7 FIG. 5 is an embodiment of the invention in which a dielectric coating is substituted for the annular corruof easy visualization the antenna system of FIGS. 1 and 2 willbe explained operating as a transmitting antenna.
- a dielectric coating is substituted for the annular corruof easy visualization the antenna system of FIGS. 1 and 2 willbe explained operating as a transmitting antenna.
- it may be employed to receive signals as well in a manner reciprocally related to transmission and it is, in fact, as a receiving antenna that the improved noise characteristics realized by the invention are exploited.
- a ring focus paraboloidal reflector 36 is generated by rotating a parabola axis about axis 34 which is parallel to and spaced from the parabola axis. Hence, a ring focus 43, as distinguished from the point focus of conventional paraboloids, is formed.
- the aperture of reflector 36 in a practical antenna system would probably be at least ten times the diameter of ring focus 48 and, therefore, the diameter of the antenna feed, as they are related in size. For convenience of illustration in FIGS. 1 and 2, however, the ratio of feed diameter to reflector aperture is shown as larger than that given above.
- Patent No. 2,482,158 previously mentioned, for further elaboration upon ring focus paraboloidal reflectors.
- piston 24 in order to have the resultant coupled signal be in phase agreement all around the circumference of gap 22, i.e., exhibit annular uniformity of phase, piston 24 must be adjusted in position to cause the reflected-currents to combine with the directly coupled currents in the proper proportion.
- the adjustment of piston 24 to fulfill this function is an empirical one, as is the width of gap 22, and the position of an iris placed in waveguide 18 to match it, impedance-wise, to the rest of feed 10.
- radial transmission line 38 carries the signal radiated from feed 10- with annular uniformity of phase, amplitude, and polarization, closely spaced, annular quarter-wavelength deep corrugations 40 are cut in the walls of radial transmission line 38.
- Radial transmission line 38 must have its walls separated by at least a distance of one-half the wavelength of the signal it is to accommodate in order to propagate such a signal. Then the flow of longitudinal currents in the walls of radial transmission line 38'is inhibited by the corrugations, thus presenting the same surface characteristics to both the electric and magnetic fields. The surface field intensity, therefore, is not affected by local polarization, and a radiating mode having the desired uniformity of phase, intensity, and polarization can exist in radial transmission line 38.
- a pedestal having its base substantially equal to the vertex circle of reflector 36 is mounted on reflector 36.
- Pedestal 30 provides a housing for amplifier 16, so that waveguide 18 may be extremely short, reducing noise accumulated from that source, and also provides one wall of transmission line 38.
- Pedestal 3% prevents energy emanating from feed 10 from crossing axis 34' and impinging, upon the opposite side of reflector 36 and supports feed 10 thus obviating complex feed supports which otherwise would have to be located in the path of the antenna beam. All this may be accomplished with no increase in beam shadow over that for-med'by feed 10 because the diameter of pedestal 30 is substantially coincident orless than that of ring. focus 48 of reflector 36.
- annular dielectric lens 42 forming a window across the aperture of radial transmission line 38, serves to connect and support the two sections of feed 10;'
- annular dielectric lens 42 may be employed as a trimming adjustment on the annular uniformity of the phase of the signal radiated from feed 19.
- the wave front emanating from feed 10 exhibits annul'ar uniformity of polarization, phase and intensity and further, a cosinusoidal intensity distribution across the aperture or mouth of feed 10.
- the signal radiated from feed ill onto reflector 36, considered in planes passing through axis 34, is a maximum in the direction of propa gation of radial transmission line 38 and falls olf to nulls at approximately 45 degrees on either side of that direction of propagation.
- feed 10 carries all linearly polarized signals, regardless of orientation, e.g., vertically or horizontally polarized, with anular uniformity of phase, intensity, and polarization and cosinusoidal intensity distribution in planes including axis 34. Consequently, circularly polarized signals, which find extensive application in space communications, receive the same treatment when applied to feed 10, as they may be thought of as two linearly polarized signals with polarizations rotated in space by degrees with respect to one another and differing in phase by 90 degrees.
- FIG. 3' illustrates a radial transmission line 38 the direction of propagation of which forms an angle of 90 degrees with axis 34 of an antenna system like FIG. 1.
- This feed would find application with a deeper paraboloidal reflector than the one shown in FIG. 1. It becomes evident that the angle made by the direction of propagation of radial transmission line 38 with axis 34 controls the direction of radiation of signal energy from the feed and that this angle may be varied to suit the depth of the reflector and other needs of the immediate situation.
- FIG. 4 illustrates' another embodiment of the invention in which the aperture of radial transmission line 38 forms a box horn 46.
- the application of a box horn aperture provides a uniform intensity distribution across the aperture of the horn. This is discussed more fully in my monograph entitled Parabolic-Antenna Design for Microwaves published in the Proceeding of the I.R.E. November 1947, on pages 1284 through 1294. Annular uniformity of phase, intensity and polarization are again maintained by corrugations 40 cut in the wall of radial transmission line 38.
- the Walls of radial transmission line 38 in FIG. 5 are coated with a di'electrical material 44 rather than corrugations 40 shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4. This likewise presents identical surface characteristics to both the electric and magnetic field carried in radial transmission line 38, but develops a uniform intensity distribution across the aperture of the feed. 7 a
