Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for adjusting the beam direction of a beam radiated from a stationary array of antenna elements, wherein at least two antenna element feed points are coupled to a common signal source via a feed line structure having a source connection terminal to be connected to said source and at least two feed connection terminals to be connected to said antenna element feed points, said feed line structure comprising a feed conductor line pattern disposed in a fixed planar arrangement, e.g. on a carrier plate, at a distance from and in parallel to a fixed ground plate, and a movable dielectric body located therebetween, said movable dielectric body being displaceable in parallel to said feed conductor line pattern and said ground plate so as to change the exciting phase of a signal component reaching one of said feed connection terminals.
- the invention also concerns a feed line structure for use in an antenna or any other device requiring a controlled adjustment of the phase difference between at least two signal components derived from a radio frequency signal generated by a common source.
- a device of the kind referred to above is previously known from JP, A, 63296402.
- a number of triangular dielectric bodies are movable in two perpendicular directions, in each case transversely to a conductor line segment so as to enable a controlled delay of the corresponding signal component.
- the delay is substantially proportional to the surface portion of the triangle being in registry with the associated conductor line segment. In this way, the beam can be adjusted in two mutually perpendicular directions.
- each triangular body has relatively small dimensions in relation to the length of each conductor line leading to a feed connection terminal. Therefore, the adjustment possi ⁇ bilities are rather limited. Furthermore, in case such triangular bodies with larger dimensions were to be used, the impedance of the feed line structure would be adversely affected.
- Another object is to achieve a feed line structure, which is easy to manufacture and convenient to operate, in particular b means of a manual control means.
- the feed line pattern is elongated in a main direction and includes longitudinal feed line segments extending in parallel to said main direction towards each one of the feed connection terminals.
- the dielectric body is formed substantially as a dielectric plate, which is displaceable in the main direction between two end positions. Furthermore, the dielectric plate is dimensioned and located so as to extend in a region covering supplementary portions of the longitudinal feed line segments. In this way, these supplementary portions will effect a well-defined propagation velocity reduction of the corresponding signal components before they reach the respective feed connection terminals.
- the dielectric plate is movable in the same direction as the extension of the longitudinal feed line segments (the main direction) , the propagation velocity reduction will be very distinct and easy to control by mechanically controlling the linear movement of the dielectric plate between the two end positions.
- the dielectric plate is continuously displaceable so as to be positioned in any desired location. In this way, the beam direction can be adjusted accordingly.
- the source connection terminal is located at a central portion of the feed line pattern, whereas the feed connection terminals are located at opposite end portions of the pattern.
- the dielectric plate then extends in a region als covering the central portion of the feed line pattern and it will normally have a relatively large area corresponding to at least half of the surface area of the carrier plate (or the outer contour of the feed line pattern) .
- the dielectric plate is sub ⁇ stantially rectangular, and the feed conductor line pattern is meander-shaped. Moreover, because of the elongated structure o the meander-shaped pattern, the longitudinal feed line segment constitute a major part of the total length of the feed line segments in the feed conductor line pattern.
- the feed conductor line pattern includes several meander-shaped portions with loops being branched off from each longitudinal feed line segment and including at least two further longitudinal feed line segments.
- the dielectric plate is displaceable by means of a mechanical actuator coupled to a manually operable control means, e.g., a control knob on a rotatable axis coupled via a gear mechanism to a longitudinally guided rack, which is secured to the dielectric plate.
- a manually operable control means e.g., a control knob on a rotatable axis coupled via a gear mechanism to a longitudinally guided rack, which is secured to the dielectric plate.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically, in a perspective view, a feed line structure according to the invention
- FIG. 1 illustrates, in schematic top plan views, various modifications of the feed line structure
- Figure 3 shows, in a perspective view, a device according to the invention, including a mechanical actuator illustrated schematically;
- Figure 4 shows, to a larger scale, a partial longitudinal section along the lines IV-IV in figure 3.
- an especially designed feed line structure is integrated in an antenna device for adjusting the direction of a beam radiated from a stationary array of antenna elements.
- the adjustment is achieved by controlling the respective phase angles of the signal components reaching the respective antenna element.
- the antenna elements are positioned along a vertical row, and there is a constant phase difference between adjacent antenna elements, the resulting beam will be directed or tilted correspondingly, as is well known per se in the art.
- the present invention relates to the feed line structure that makes such an adjustment possible.
- a feed line structure 1 which is generally flat and which comprises an upper, stationary carrier plate 2 with a feed conductor line pattern 3 deposited thereon, a stationary bottom plate 4, serving as a ⁇ ground plane, and a movable dielectric plate 5 located therebetween.
- the carrier plate 2 is made of a dielectric material
- the bottom plate 4 is made of a electrically conducting material, e.g. a metal such as aluminum.
- the feed conductor line pattern has a generally rectangular, elongated outer contour, normally even more elongated than indicated schematically in figure 1.
- the direction of elongation is indicated in figure 1 by an arrow A, which coincides with the movement direction of the movable inter ⁇ mediate plate 5.
- a source connection terminal 6 In the central portion of the feed conductor line pattern, there is a source connection terminal 6 to which a signal transmission line from a common source is to be connected.
- the source connection terminal 6 is followed by a transversal, relatively short conductor line segment 7 ending in a junction point 8, from which two longitudinally extending feed line segments 9 and 10 depart in opposite directions in parallel to the main direction A.
- feed line terminals T x and T 2 At the respective far ends of these longitudinal feed line segments 9 and 10, there are feed line terminals T x and T 2 intended to be connected to respective feed points of associated antenna elements.
- meander- shaped loops 11 and 12 Adjacent to these feed connection terminals x and T 2 , meander- shaped loops 11 and 12 are branched off so as to form continued feed conductor line segments, including two relatively long such segments extending in parallel to the main direction A.
- the meander-shaped loops 11 and 12 end at respective feed connection terminals T 3 and T trash intended to be connected to associated antenna element feed points.
- the movable dielectric plate 5 has a width corresponding to the width of the carrier plate 2 and a length approximately corresponding to half the length of the carrier plate. At each transversal, shorter side edge, there is a step-like recess 13 and 14, respectively, which is dimensioned so as to minimize reflexion of the radio wave energy propagating along the feed conductor line segments 9, 10, 11 and 12.
- the energy or signal propagation velocity will be symmetrical with respect to the central transversal conductive line segment 7.
- the dielectric plate 5 fills the air gap between the carrier plate 2 and the ground plate 4. Therefore, the propagation velocity will be slightly lower in those portions of the conductive line segments lying above the plate 5, due to the dielectric material between the conductive line and.the ground plate.
- phase angle differences between the signal components at feed connection terminals T 4/ T 2 , 1 and T 3 will always be the same, irrespec ⁇ tive of the particular position of the dielectric plate 5.
- the end position 13' corresponds to an exactly horizontal direction of the composit beam radiated from four antenna elements connected to the terminals T : through T trash.
- the signal components at the four terminals will be delayed, e.g., with phase angle shifts of 15°, 5°, -5° and - 15° (in the order T 4/ T 2 , T : and T 3 ) .
- the angle shift will be, e.g., 30°, 10°, -10° and -30°. So, the phase angle differences between adjacent terminals will always be the same. Accordingly, the composit beam from the four antenna elements will always have a wave front in the form of a straight line. With increasing angular phase differences, the inclination of this wave front line will increase, and the beam will be gradually tilted downwards. Clearly, it is a great advantage that the uniform phase angle difference between the various feed connection terminals will be maintained in the course of a simple linear movement of the dielectric plate 5.
- the central darker areas depict the respective dielectric plates 5, and these three plates are mechanically coupled together so as to be moved in synchronism.
- eight antenna elements can be fed with eight different signal • components derived from a common source signal.
- the next two examples are slightly modified embodiments with outer and central structures l'a, l'b, 20' and l"a, l''b and 20'', respectively.
- the dielectric plates are not as wide as the carrier plate.
- Figures 3 and 4 serve to illustrate a mechanical actuator, by means of which the dielectric plate can be displaced by manual control.
- the feed line structure appears from figure 3 with a modified feed conductor line pattern 31, and from figure 4 with the carrier plate 32 (on which the feed conductor line pattern is deposited) , the movable dielectric plate 33 and the stationary bottom plate 34.
- the dielectric plate 33 is mechanically connected to a longitudinally guided rack 35, the linear movement of which is controlled by a gear mechanism, with gears 36 and 37, coupled to a rotatable axis 38 with a control knob 39.
- a gear mechanism with gears 36 and 37, coupled to a rotatable axis 38 with a control knob 39.
