All of these structures to some extent require individual spot connections of conductors which require a degree of specialized labor in their construction and in varying degrees these patents disclose the fact that certain types of structural weaknesses have been almost inherent in the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 1 A principal object of this invention is to provide an integral microwave dipole antenna and stripline feed which will be durable, rugged and simple to construct. The structure is as readily adaptable to use in arrays as to use as a single antenna. The structure can be fabricated without the necessity for the physical interconnection of electrical conductors which in other constructions require a plurality of solder joints, brazes or welds. Structural rigidity, particularly in arrays constructed according to this invention, is provided by the fact that an entire row of axially aligned dipoles is most easily fabricated in the form of a single slab of fairly rigid material. Elimination of the many electrical connections has been made possible by use of a feeding arrangement which establishes a virtual short to the feed center conductor at the base of one dipole arm at the edge of the slot so that no actual physical connection is needed to permit the current to excite the dipole. Similarly, the structure provides for the connection of the unbalanced transmission line to the balanced dipole without the use of solder joints, brazing, welding or bolting.
Briefly, in accordance with this invention, there is a sheet of dielectric material of which one edge defines the position of one or the alignment ofa plurality of dipole antennas. The antenna and outer conductor of the transmission line are in the form of a shaped metallic partial skin on each side of the dielectric sheet with each antenna being a T-shape portion of skin adjacent to the edge of the sheet and having the stem of each T extending away from that edge to join to a portion of the metallic skin covering the entire sheet except for the band proximate to the edge of the dielectric sheet. Each T is slotted to separate the antenna into two quarter wave radiating arms and to cause the legs of the T to constitute a slotted balun connected to the dipole. The metal skins remaining on the two sides of the sheet in identical configuration are joined electrically at the base of the transmission line portion of the sheet to constitute one side of the transmission line. The other side of the transmission line is in the form of a metallic conductor embedded in the dielectric sheet between the two T shape sections. It is a conductor of finite dimensions running off center and toward the propagating edge of the sheet between the two parallel metallic skin portions of the leg of the T shape portion to the intersection of balun and dipole and thence to terminate one quarter wavelength from the center of the dipole arms. This invention also contemplates the construction of such an integral transmission line and antenna from prefabricated dielectric sheets clad on both sides with a metal skin as for example copper. The metal skin is partially removed from two clad sheets to form the dipole and the sheets laminated together to form the desired structure.

FIG. 2 is a cross section of a portion of the antenna construction taken along line 2-2 of FIG. I;

FIG. 6 is a partial section of the antenna taken along the line 6-6 of FIG. 5.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The preferred embodiment of this invention as illustrated in FIG. 1 constitutes an antenna array although the invention is also suitable for implementation in single dipole constructions. FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of the radiating edge of an antenna array in which there are a plurality ofdipoles along the edge of the structure excited from a single input line 31. The antenna structure l is made up of two sheets of dielectric material I0 and II which are large sheets of a fairly rigid dielectric material pre-clad with metallic copper or other electrically conducting sheets I2 and 14. This structure is most easily fabricated from two individual sheets 10 and 11, with 10 being pre-clad on both sides and l] clad on one side with sheets 12 and 14 from which portions of the sheet have been cut away to leave dipoles 2 and striplines 3. By cutting away the electrically conducting sheets on each of the two sheets of dielectric in mirror image fashion to form the dipoles, and with the center conductor 3 being formed on the double clad dielectric sheet, the two sheets can be laminated together so that the total laminated antenna structure 1 includes the interior striplines 3 and the dipole structures which are portions of the electrically conducting sheets I2 and I4 comprising the exterior of the laminated structure.
Each of the dipoles 2 is comprised of a T-shaped portion of the exterior electrical conducting sheets 12 and [4 of the laminated structure. Each T-shaped antenna portion includes a dipole 21 and a slotted balun 22. In addition, each antenna segment has been partially separated by a slot 23 extending from the exterior center of the dipole into the stem portion of the T. This slot defines the balun and serves to isolate the dipole arms and to separate a portion of the stem 22 into two stem portions 24 and 25. In each instance, the dipole and the balun portions when functioning as an antenna include the corresponding portion of the metallic sheet on both exterior surfaces of the laminated structure. Each of the dipoles has an edge contiguous with the edge of the dielectric sheets so that the exterior edge in question can be referred to as the radiating edge of the array. The dipole arms should have a total length of one-half wavelength and the height of the T is on the order of one-quarter wavelength. The end of the copper strip 33 is electrically one-quarter wavelength from slot 23, and is open circuited at point A. It therefore reflects a short circuit between the center conductor and the dipole arms at point B; thus, in effect connecting the strip line center conductor to one side of the dipole. The balun slot 23 presents a high impedance between the dipole arms enabling a balanced potential differ ence to be applied between the dipole arms.
Details of the construction to which this structure lends itself will be more evident by reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 wherein the exploded view of FIG. 4 indi cates the positional registry of the dipoles on the two exterior surfaces of the laminated structure. It is most obvious from these figures that the process of removal of portions of the clad material permit construction without the necessity of soldering, brazing, welding, or bolting of electrically conducting materials. it is this feature that provides minimum fabrication labor cost and eliminates all problems concerning the physical joining of transmission line to radiator which has been common to previous structures.
It is also possible, of course, to apply the present invention to microstrip construction merely by the elimination of the electrically conducting skin from one exterior surface of the laminated antenna structure. It is also obvious that structures according to the invention and generally in the configuration accomplished by the Applicants and as illustrated in the drawings might be produced by other methods of manufacture as for example, molding. The configuration of the device makes the preferred simple fabrication process possible which is to say that the particular concept of the invention makes possible construction of antennas by means of processes which are considerably less expensive. particularly in the terms of labor hours, than was true of the prior art. It is also obvious to those familiar with the microwave art that the stripline center conductor may. after crossing the slotted balun, be bent toward the base ofthe balun rather than parallel to the dipole without interfering with the general operation. and that moderate changes in the dipole, slot and other dimen sions may be incorporated without varying from the basic configuration. Furthermore. the stripline feed 31 may have quarter-wave transformers or other impedance matching devices distributed throughout.
A further embodiment of the antenna invention is also possible through use of air as the dielectric me dium. in that configuration. the metallic conductors fill would be thicker and nearly self-supporting, requiring dielectric and metallic separators at only appropriate positions throughout the feed line and in the dipolebalun region.
Another embodiment of the structure is possible by stacking a number of the above described rows of dipoles either horizontally or vertically to form a planar array of dipoles.
