Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un élément rayonnant diplexant.The invention relates to a diplexing radiating element.
Un tel élément rayonnant fonctionne simultanément dans deux bandes de fréquences, qui peuvent en particulier être proches et peuvent générer dans chaque bande de fréquence deux polarisations orthogonales : linéaires ou circulaires.Such a radiating element operates simultaneously in two frequency bands, which can in particular be close and can generate in each frequency band two orthogonal polarizations: linear or circular.
L'intérêt d'un tel élement est qu'il présente de bonnes performances de séparation des signaux d'une bande de fréquence par rapport à l'autre, en particulier lorsque ces bandes sont proches.The advantage of such an element is that it exhibits good performance in separating the signals of one frequency band from the other, in particular when these bands are close.
Il peut également être utilisé dans tout élément en guide d'onde nécessitant un fonctionnement à deux fréquences séparées et une excitation compacte à partir d'une alimentation en ligne TEM (par exemple : ligne coaxiale, triplaque ou microruban).It can also be used in any waveguide element requiring operation at two separate frequencies and compact excitation from a TEM line supply (for example: coaxial, triplate or microstrip line).
Les systèmes de l'art connu, permettant un fonctionnement à deux fréquences, nécessitent généralement :
. soit un élément rayonnant large bande et un système de filtres diplexeurs assurant la réjection d'une bande de fréquence sur l'autre ;
. soit la superposition de deux types d'éléments rayonnants fonctionnant chacun dans sa bande de fréquence. Les couplages entre les éléments sont d'autant plus faibles que les zones rayonnantes de ces éléments sont éloignées l'une de l'autre. Il est donc difficile d'améliorer ceux-ci, sans accroître les dimensions de l'un des deux éléments rayonnants.The systems of the known art, allowing operation at two frequencies, generally require:
. either a broadband radiating element and a system of diplexer filters ensuring the rejection of one frequency band on the other;
. or the superposition of two types of radiating elements each operating in its frequency band. The couplings between the elements are all the weaker as the radiating zones of these elements are distant from each other. It is therefore difficult to improve these, without increasing the dimensions of one of the two radiating elements.
Dans ce dernier cas, il en résulte une différence entre surfaces rayonnantes équivalentes, mal adaptées à une antenne à échantillonnage par exemple.In the latter case, this results in a difference between equivalent radiating surfaces, ill-suited to a sampling antenna for example.
L'invention a pour objet de pallier ces différents inconvénients.The object of the invention is to overcome these various drawbacks.
Elle propose, à cet effet, un élément rayonnant diplexant, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins un premier élément rayonnant dans lequel circulent deux courants électriques rayonnants espacés l'un de l'autre, et au moins un second élément rayonnant dans lequel circulent deux courant magnétiques rayonnants espacés l'un de l'autre.It proposes, for this purpose, a diplexing radiating element, characterized in that it comprises at least a first radiating element in which circulate two radiating electric currents spaced from one another, and at least a second radiating element in which circulate two radiant magnetic currents spaced from each other.
Avantageusement l'élément rayonnant selon l'invention comprend un premier élément rayonnant ayant la forme d'une bague annulaire constituée d'un ruban conducteur de forme circulaire, et un élément rayonnant en forme de fente annulaire constituée d'un conducteur faisant plan de masse supérieur, d'un disque conducteur et d'un plan réflecteur rendant le rayonnement de la fente unidirectionnel; un premier espaceur par exemple de nature diélectrique séparant le premier et le second éléments rayonnants et un second espaceur par exemple de nature diélectrique séparant le second élément rayonnant de son plan réflecteur.Advantageously, the radiating element according to the invention comprises a first radiating element having the form of an annular ring consisting of a conductive ribbon of circular shape, and a radiating element in the form of an annular slot consisting of a conductor making upper ground plane, a conductive disc and a reflective plane rendering the radiation from the unidirectional slot; a first spacer, for example of a dielectric nature separating the first and the second radiating elements and a second spacer, for example of a dielectric nature, separating the second radiating element from its reflecting plane.
Un tel élément rayonnant présente les avantages suivants :
- il est extrêmement compact ; la polarisation circulaire est ici directement générée à partir d'une ligne TEM pour les deux bandes de fréquence sur une longueur inférieure à un quart de longueur d'onde,
- il peut être muni entièrement d'accès arrières longitudinaux, ce qui permet de coupler ces accès, sans câbles coaxiaux supplémentaires, à un répartiteur de puissance TEM émission et/ou réception parallèle à la direction de rayonnement maximum, endroit où peuvent être également implantés les coupleurs hybrides de mise en quadrature,
- le couplage d'un élément sur l'autre est réduit par le choix des éléments rayonnants utilisés,
- dans le cas où le dispositif est utilisé pour l'excitation d'un guide d'onde alimenté en mode fondamental, les surfaces rayonnantes équivalentes sont identiques dans les deux bandes de fréquences.Such a radiating element has the following advantages:
- it is extremely compact; the circular polarization is here directly generated from a TEM line for the two frequency bands over a length less than a quarter of a wavelength,
- it can be fully fitted with longitudinal rear access, which makes it possible to couple these accesses, without additional coaxial cables, to a TEM power distribution and / or reception distributor parallel to the direction of maximum radiation, where can also be installed quadrature hybrid couplers,
- the coupling of one element on the other is reduced by the choice of the radiating elements used,
- in the case where the device is used for the excitation of a waveguide supplied in fundamental mode, the equivalent radiating surfaces are identical in the two frequency bands.

L'élément rayonnant diplexant de l'invention, tel que représenté aux figures 1, 2 et 3, est constitué par deux éléments rayonnants résonnants 10 et 11.The diplexing radiating element of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, consists of two radiating
Le premier élément rayonnant et résonnant 10 peut être une bague annulaire ("annular ring" en anglo-saxon), constituée d'un ruban conducteur de forme circulaire, par exemple. Cet élément, fonctionnant sur le mode fondamental TM11, la circonférence moyenne du ruban est alors proche d'une longueur d'onde. Le ruban métallique peut être obtenu par gravure chimique. Un espaceur de nature diélectrique 12 le sépare alors des conducteurs métalliques 13 et 14. Ces deux conducteurs 13 et 14 sont concentriques, le premier 13 ayant la forme d'un disque, le second la forme d'une couronne extérieure au premier. La source hyperfréquence alimentant l'antenne 10 est connectée à un, deux ou quatre accès déduits les uns des autres par une rotation de 90 degrés. La ou les connections peuvent être de nature coaxiale 15 et 16, ou de type ligne microruban gravée sur le substrat 12 ou toute autre technique de l'homme de l'art pour alimenter l'antenne 10.The first radiating and
Le second élément rayonnant et résonnant 17 est une fente annulaire ("annular slot" en anglo-saxon), constitué du conducteur 14 faisant plan de masse supérieur, du disque conducteur 13 et d'un plan réflecteur 18 rendant le rayonnement de la fente unidirectionnel. L'espacement entre les conducteurs 13 et 14 forme ladite fente annulaire 17. Les conducteurs 13, 14 et 18 peuvent être obtenus par gravure chimique sur un substrat disposé dans l'espacement 22, par exemple.The second radiating and
L'alimentation de l'antenne 17 peut être effectuée selon l'état de l'art, en particulier par des connections coaxiales 19 et 20, ou par ligne triplaque 21 (ou microruban), comme représenté sur les figures 4 et 5. L'alimentation se faisant alors sans contact.The
La circonférence moyenne de la fente 17 est de l'ordre de la longueur d'onde.The average circumference of the
Afin de supprimer une éventuelle différence de potentiel entre les conducteurs 18 et 14, des liaisons électriques par plots métalliques, ou vis peuvent être disposées autour de la fente 17.In order to eliminate any potential difference between the
Dans le cas d'alimentation par ligne coaxiale de l'antenne 10, 11 est nécessaire de prévoir le passage des accès (15, 16 dans le cas de deux accès) à travers les différentes épaisseurs de substrats ou de conducteurs (18, 22, 13 et 12). Ces jonctions, tendant à neutraliser le champ électrique naissant entre les conducteurs 13 et 18, ne perturbent pas fondamentalement le fonctionnement de la fente 17.In the case of feed by coaxial line of the
La figure 6 représente les courants 23 rayonnants, de nature électrique, de l'antenne 10 et la polarisation principale, excitée, du champ électrique E. Les courants actifs sont disposés de part et d'autre de l'axe de symétrie (Mode TM₁₁).FIG. 6 represents the
La figure 7 représente les courants rayonnants, de nature magnétique, de l'antenne 17 et la polarisation principale excitée. Les courants actifs 24 sont disposés, contrairement au cas précédent, le long de l'axe de symétrie, pour un champ rayonné de même direction que précédemment.FIG. 7 represents the radiating currents, of magnetic nature, of the
De par la nature et la disposition de ces courants rayonnants 23 et 24 des antennes 10 et 17, le couplage entre les deux antennes est minimal, ce qui constitue un des avantages de l'invention. Les antennes 10 et 17 présentent ainsi des surfaces très voisines, des performances de rayonnement semblables, tout en présentant un couplage minimum entre les lignes d'alimentation des deux antennes.Due to the nature and arrangement of these
L'adaptation des divers accès à une impédance choisie et l'élargissement de la bande passante peuvent être obtenus selon les techniques de l'homme de l'art, par modifications de :
- la largeur du ruban métallique 10 et la largeur de la fente 17 ;
- la hauteur des espaceurs 12 et 22 ;
- la nature diélectrique des espaceurs 12 et 22 ;
- les caractéristiques électriques des lignes d'alimentation des antennes 10 et 17.The adaptation of the various accesses to a chosen impedance and the widening of the bandwidth can be obtained according to the techniques of a person skilled in the art, by modifications of:
- The width of the
- the height of the
- the dielectric nature of the
- the electrical characteristics of the feed lines of the
Dans une autre réalisation de l'invention, on utilise une fente annulaire et un "patch" circulaire; L'antenne 10 est alors une antenne résonnante circulaire ("circular disk" en anglo-saxon).In another embodiment of the invention, an annular slot and a circular "patch" are used; The
La figure 8 montre alors une coupe d'un tel dispositif. Ce dispositif facilite le réglage de l'adaptation de l'antenne 10, par déplacement vers le centre du disque, des sondes 15 et 16.Figure 8 then shows a section of such a device. This device facilitates the adjustment of the adaptation of the
La figure 9 montre alors les courants rayonnants 25 intervenant dans une telle antenne 10.FIG. 9 then shows the
Dans une autre réalisation de l'invention, on utilise une fente annulaire et un dipôle. L'antenne 10 peut être, en effet, avantageusement remplacée par un dipôle simple ou croisé, imprimé ou filaire. L'excitation de cette antenne se fait alors selon les connaissances de l'homme de l'art.In another embodiment of the invention, an annular slot and a dipole are used. The
Dans une autre réalisation de l'invention, on effectue la génération de polarisation circulaire par un accès : Dans le cas où les bandes de fréquence spécifiées sont suffisamment étroites selon les performances recherchées, la polarisation circulaire générée par une des deux, ou les deux antennes peut être obtenue en dissymétrisant la ou les antenne(s), selon des techniques connues de l'homme de l'art (oreilles ou "ear", évidements ou "notches") comme représenté respectivement aux figures 10 et 11.In another embodiment of the invention, the circular polarization generation is carried out by an access: In the case where the specified frequency bands are sufficiently narrow according to the desired performances, the circular polarization generated by one of the two, or the two antennas can be obtained by dissymmetrizing the antenna (s), according to techniques known to those skilled in the art (ears or "ear", recesses or "notches") as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 respectively.
Indépendamment du positionnement de l'antenne 17 par rapport à l'antenne 10, le dispositif est alors avantageusement utilisable, lorsque les sens de polarisation circulaire des ondes électromagnétiques rayonnées sont identiques. Le couplage entre les deux antennes est alors minimal.Regardless of the positioning of the
Quelque soit la réalisation du dispositif décrite précédemment, celle-ci peut être avantageusement utilisée pour exciter deux ondes à des fréquences différentes dans un guide d'onde 26 selon la figure 12. Ce dispositif est particulièrement adapté lorsque les ondes sont polarisées circulairement et de même sens, la génération de l'ellipticité de l'onde se faisant par irrégularités sur les antennes ou alimentations par deux ou quatre accès à l'aide des coupleurs 0°, 90° ou 0, 90°, 180°, 270°Whatever the embodiment of the device described above, it can be advantageously used to excite two waves at different frequencies in a
Il est bien entendu que la présente invention n'a été décrite et représentée qu'à titre d'exemple préférentiel et que l'on pourra remplacer ses éléments constitutifs par des éléments équivalents sans, pour autant, sortir du cadre de l'invention.It is understood that the present invention has only been described and shown as a preferred example and that its constituent elements can be replaced by equivalent elements without, however, departing from the scope of the invention.
Ainsi le guide d'onde peut être circulaire, hexagonal, elliptique ou carré.Thus the waveguide can be circular, hexagonal, elliptical or square.
Ainsi les antennes 10 et 17 peuvent être de forme carrée, elliptique, rectangulaire : une antenne d'une forme peut être associée à une antenne d'une autre forme, un type d'alimentation peut être associé à un autre type d'alimentation.Thus the
Ainsi un élargissement de bande peut être obtenu par empilage d'éléments rayonnants non alimentés par accroissement de la complexité du circuit d'adaptation.Thus a band widening can be obtained by stacking radiating elements not supplied by increasing the complexity of the adaptation circuit.
Ainsi ce dispositif peut être associé à d'autres dispositifs déjà existant pour constituer un élément tribande, quadribande etc...Thus this device can be associated with other already existing devices to constitute a triband, quadriband element etc.
Ainsi une antenne réseau peut être réalisée en regroupant différents éléments rayonnants tels que décrits précédemment.Thus a network antenna can be produced by grouping different radiating elements as described above.
