Definitions
- the invention relates to antenna elements for the UHF and VHF range for broadband antennas radiating in the direction of flight of a missile with tail elements.
- spiral antennas are currently used for reconnaissance and direction finding in the VHF frequency range. At low frequencies ( ⁇ 1 GHz) and the smallest possible construction volume, these antennas have a greatly reduced antenna gain, or their dimensions are not suitable for integration into the missile.
- planar structures e.g. patch antennas
- this type of antenna used in the two sources mentioned cannot be arranged on the missiles available for use in such a way that radiation in the direction of flight is achieved.
- Antennas with an externally similar structure are also used in the field of communication technology (e.g. aerodynamically shaped, blade antennas' for rail vehicles).
- the main difference to these structures is the physical separation of the radome and antenna and the fact that these antennas emit in a non-directional manner.
- the tail of the missile is thus used to integrate antenna structures which act broadly in the direction of flight in this area without interfering with the mechanical functionality of the tail area.
- the figure shows a possible embodiment of the "fin antenna” according to the invention. It consists of a dielectric tail unit L, in which the antenna structure A with the feed E is embedded or applied to its surface. Due to the low frequencies, the dielectric used has only a minor effect on the properties of the antenna elements. There is therefore a structural integration of antenna and rudder (positive and non-positive connection), with further protective measures for the antenna in the form of a radome being omitted.
- the antenna element A used is based on an expanding slot radiator which is halved along its axis of symmetry.
- This type of antenna is also described in the literature as a Vivaldi element. What is new in this context is the idea of halving the antenna element and using the missile as an electrical mirror despite its small dimensions compared to the wavelength.
- the structure of the missile F thus becomes part of the antenna in the concept of the invention.
- the novel arrangement of the antenna elements A in the area of the rudders L maximizes both the aperture and the distance between the phase centers of the individual elements, but no additional volume is required for the antennas. If the received signals are evaluated using the classic amplitude or phase monopulse methods, the proposed arrangement keeps the requirements on the detection channels low. This makes it possible to expand the frequency range for direction finding and reconnaissance at lower frequencies (currently 100 MHz). In order to enable bearing in azimuth and elevation for all polarizations, a total of 4 antenna elements are necessary, each of which is orthogonally polarized in pairs. Such an arrangement is described in principle in DE 1168513. In contrast, the antenna system according to the invention is oriented at an angle of 45 °. This orientation is essential for the intended application, since this is the only way to achieve the required polarization agility, namely linear horizontal and linear vertical polarization and circular left and right-hand polarization during the bearing.
