  • ABSTRACT A branching filter using dielectric elements is disposed on the side of one of a pair of reflectors for reflecting emitted or incident waves, the branching filter being capable of reflecting one of the two frequency group components and of transmitting the other frequency group component to branch and converge the two components at different points.
  • the present invention relates to an antenna device comprising a pair of reflectors and more particularly an antenna device in which a branching filter using dielectric elements is disposed adjacent to one of a pair of reflectors so that the waves of two different frequency groups may be directly branched or composed in the antenna section.
  • the antenna devices used in such telecommunication system must have the capability of simultaneously composing or branching the frequency groups in the microwave and quasi-millimeter frequency bands. This is accomplished by use of the frequency group branching filters connected to the Cassegrain antennas which are widely used in the microwave communication systems.
  • two wave guides are coupled through many slots that are equidistantly spaced apart to constitute a wave-guide type frequency group branching filter which in turn is coupled to the feeder section of the antenna device.
  • the frequency group branching filter composes the two signal components of the microwave and quasi-millimeter frequency bands which are transmitted by the two different wave guides respectively, and the composed signals are transmitted to a primary horn through a feeder section, reflected by a subreflector and a main reflector and emitted into the space.
  • the incident waves are reflected first by the main reflector and then by the subreflector to be transmitted into the feeder section through the primary horn, and are branched into the microwave and millimeter frequency group signal components by the frequency group branching filter to be fed into the two different wave guides respectively.
  • the number of slots in the frequency group branching filter must be increased as the frequency of the signals transmitted is increased. Furthermore since the signals of the quasi-millimeter frequency band which is four to five times higher than the microwave frequency band are transmitted or received simultaneously with the signals of the microwave frequency band, the feeder section coupled to the primary horn of the antenna device tends to become oversized relative to the signals in the quasi-millimeter band. Therefore the undesired high order mode of the quasimillimeter band tends to be excited in the frequency group branching filter and the feeder section and so the quality of the transmitted signals is much deteriorated. The undersired high order mode produced causes tracking error when the antenna device is steered to track a communication satellite.
  • One of the objects of the present invention is therefore to provide an antenna device in which the frequency group branching and composition may be carried out directly in the antenna section without using the wave-guide type frequency group filter.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide .an antenna device incorporating a branching filter using dielectric elements which is capable of reflecting a high frequency beam of the two different frequency group components and of transmitting therethrough the other frequency group component so that the frequency group branching and composition of the beam may be effected.
  • first and second reflectors are disposed in opposing relation, and a third reflector or a branching filter using dielectric elements capable of reflecting the waves in the higher frequency group and of transmitting therethrough the waves in the lower frequency group is disposed adjacent to one of the first and second reflectors, for example the second reflectorqln reception the incident waves in the low frequency group are first reflected by the first reflector, transmitted through the third reflector and reflected again by the second reflector to converge toward a primary horn for low frequency group.
  • the waves in the high frequency group are first reflected by the first reflector and then by the third reflector or branching filter to converge toward a primary horn for high frequency group.
  • the direction of the propagation or transmission of the waves in the high and low frequency groups are reversed.
  • At least one of the first, second and third reflectors is a paraboloidal reflector while the other two reflectors are hyperboloidal reflectors.
  • one of the three reflectors is a plane reflector which is disposed at an angle relative to the axes of the paraboloidal or hyperboloidal reflectors.
  • the former type antenna device in accordance with the present invention is especially adapted for use in an earth station in the satellite telecommunication system using two or more frequency bands, while the latter type antenna device is adapted to be mounted on a telecommunication satellite.

  • the electromagnetic waves emitted from the primary horn 13 are reflected by the subreflector 12 and the main reflector 11 in the order named and transmitted into space.
  • the incident waves are reflected by the main reflector 11 to the subreflector 12 from which they are led into the primary horn 13, the feeder section 14 and the frequency group branching filter 15 where they are branched into the signal components of the quasi-millimeter frequency band and of the microwave frequency band respectively.
  • the branched signals are transmitted through the wave guides 16 and 17 respectively to a reception apparatus (not shown).
  • the two wave guides 16 and 17 are coupled to each other through a plurality of slots 18 which are substantially equidistantly spaced apart from each other, and the transmitted wave frequency band characteristic of the coupler is so selected as to comply with the quasi-millimeter frequency band.
