STACKEI) ARRAY OF OMNIDIRECTIONAI. ANTENNAS ORIGIN OF THE INVENTION The invention described herein was made by employees of the United States Government and may be manufactured and used by or for the government for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates generally to antennas and more specifically concerns a stacked collinear array of independently fed omnidirectional antennas.
This invention was developed for the flight testing of a three frequency Doppler radar collision warning system for use on commercial aircraft. This system utilizes a coherent, CW, Doppler technique in conjunction with directional characteristics of 'the antennas to help discriminate between hazardous andnonhazardous intruding aircraft. The protected aircraft is required to transmit two signals of different frequencies which are received by the intruding aircraft, which retransmits a signal at the difference frequency. Generally, the antennas for such a system are required'to have a fan-type radiation pattern with uniform radiation in the azimuth plane and a 2030 half power beamwidth in the elevation plane.
The antenna radiation patterns required for the intruding aircraft are omnidirectional with 11.5 db. in the yaw plane and contain a half power beamwidth of about 25 in the pitch and roll planes. System response requires a good impedance match (VSWR 1.6) for the two receiving antennas over a MHz. bandwidth centered about the test frequencies.(2,702.5 and 4,252.5 MHz.) and a 1 MHz. bandwidth, for the transmitting antennas, centered about the difference frequency (1,550 MHz.).
The primary purpose of this invention is to provide antennas suitable for use in the collision warning system mentioned above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention consists of three independently fed omnidirectional antennas stacked in a collinear array. Each antenna consists of a dielectric filled coaxial transmission line with a uniform array of circumferential slots in the outer conductor. A sleeve balun is included on each end of each antenna for pattern control in the elevation plane and to provide some degree of isolation between antennas in the stacked array. Each antenna except the top has a hollow center conductor of sufficient size to accommodate the feed cables for all antennas above it, thus eliminating the cable interference problem usually encountered in the stacking of omnidirectional antennas. Each antenna is fed through two probes located 90 apart around the circumference by signals that are in phase.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of one antenna used in the collinear stacked array;
FIG. 2 is a pictorial representation of a collinear stacked array of antennas; and
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of one antenna for. the purpose of providing suitable dimensions of the antennas in a particular stacked array for specific frequencies.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Turning now to the embodiment of the invention selected for illustration in the drawings, the number 11 in FIG. 1 designates the outer conductor and the number 12 designates the center conductor of a coaxial transmission line. Shorting caps 13 and 14 are attached to the ends of the transmission line by any suitable means such as threading them onto center conductor 12. The space between outer conductor 11 and center conductor 12 is filled with a dielectric material 15. Equally spaced circumferential slots 16 are cut into the outer conductor 11 and Plexiglas rings 17 are inserted into these slots to maintain correct slot widths. Baluns 18 and 19 are attached to each end of the transmission line for pattern control in the elevation plane and to provide some degree of isolation between antennas in the stacked array. A molding compound can be used as a loading material to ,reduce the size of the baluns and provide structural support. The excitation of the antenna is through a probe 20 connected to the center conductor '12 and another probe (not shown) connected to the center conductor 12 located from probe 20 around the circumference. The cylindrical feed probes are tapered to improve the excitation efiiciency. 7
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown three antennas 21, 22 and 23 stacked in a collinear array. Each of these antennas is identical to the one described in FIG. 1 except that they differ in size. Antenna 21 is attached to antenna 22 by a reducing coupling 24, and antenna 22 is attached to antenna 23 by a reducing coupling 25. Antenna 23 has a flange 26 attached to it for the purpose of attaching the collinear array of antenna to the surface of an object such as an aircraft. Coupling 24 has two slots 27 in it so that leads 28 connected to antenna 21 can pass through the center conductors of antennas 22 and 23. Coupling 25 has two slots 29 in it so that leads 30 connected to antenna '22 can pass through the center conductor of antenna 23. It is necessary that the center conductors of antennas 22 and 23 are of sufficient size to accommodate the feed leads that pass through them. Leads 31 are connected to antenna 23, hence all leads to the antennas pass through an area below flange 26.
FIG. 3 is a drawing of the antenna in FIG. 1 labeling the difference dimensions of the antenna. Suitable dimensions for antennas 21, 22 and 23 for operating frequencies 4,252.5 MHz., 2,702.5 MHz. and 1,550 MHz., respectively, are shown The advantages of this invention are numerous and it is especially adapted for use on commercial aircraft that utilize a three-frequency Doppler radar collision warning system. It is to be understood that the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred embodiment. Various changes can be made in the shape, size and arrangement of parts. More or less than five circumferential slots could be used in each antenna; more than three of the antennas could be stacked in a linear array; and different operating frequencies than those described could be used without departing from the invention claimed in the following claims.
