Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new antenna structure, having a quasi-hemispherical radiation pattern, and capable of having a relatively wide passband, so for example that two neighboring transmission subbands can be released there.
- This type of antenna finds, for example, application in the context of satellite communications between fixed users and aeronautical, maritime or land mobiles.
- several satellite communication systems have been or are under development in L-band (INMARSAT, MSAT, PROSAT, NAVSTAR G.P.S, ).
- the first three systems mentioned correspond to links with geostationary satellites.
- the specifications of the antennas intended to equip the mobiles, in these systems, require that these antennas have a radiation diagram with quasi-hemispherical coverage, due to the very different incidences, or significant variations in the incidence of the signals received or transmitted.
- the polarization of the antennas must be circular with an ellipticity ratio better than 5 dB. (insulation 20 dB.) and special attention must be paid to the fight against multi-path phenomena for land and aeronautical mobiles. This latter specification also requires that for low elevations, the preponderant component of the electric field be vertical.
- the specifications impose that they are operational in a bandwidth of approximately 10%, or in two sub - neighboring bands.
- the only antenna structure compatible with a type of specification is the resonant quadrifilar helix.
- This type of known antenna is formed by two two-wire helices 111, 112, arranged orthogonally and excited in phase quadrature.
- FIGS. 11A, 11B The exemplary embodiment represented in FIGS. 11A, 11B is cited in the work "UHF satellite array nulls adjacent signals" Microwaves & R.F., March 1984.
- the antenna is a resonant quadrifilar helix with strands 111A, 111B; 112A, 112B short-circuited at their non-excited end 113.
- the passband is of the order of 10% with an opening at -3 dB of 140 ° for a strand length equal to ⁇ 0 / 2 and a helical winding on a turn around.
- This type of antenna is not to be confused with certain helical antennas of the type disclosed for example in patent document US-4148030 (FOLDES) and which have the purpose of providing very directional axial radiation diagrams (and not almost hemispherical as in the invention) and with great gain. Their operation is of the traveling wave type, and not in resonant mode.
- These known antennas moreover have a different structure. In particular, they have a length of several times the wavelength ⁇ of the antenna operating.
- each helical strand is cut into resonant dipoles to operate at a specific frequency.
- Quadrifilar helical antenna is also known, used in the mobile satellite communications system INMARSAT STANDARD-C where the antenna must operate correctly in two sub-bands (1530-1545 MHz) and (1631.5 -1646.5 MHz) corresponding respectively to reception and emission (KM KEEN "Developing a standard-C Antenna” (Development of an antenna in standard C) MSN Communication Technology, June 1988).
- the antenna is a resonant quadrifilar helix with printed strands open at their unexcited end.
- the power supply / adaptation module can be placed outside the antenna, around the working frequency. But when the antenna must operate in broadband, as discussed here, a power supply / internal adaptation module is generally used in the antenna structure. The most common is the so-called “balun” system (sometimes also called a balun) or its “folded balun” variant with asymmetrical input and symmetrical output.
- FIG. 11 Such an arrangement is shown in FIG. 11, where, given the excitation and the symmetry of the antenna, the two orthogonal helices 111 and 112 have the same input impedance.
- Each two-wire propeller 111A, 111B; 112A, 112B is supplied by a coaxial balun of the "folded balun" type.
- the two two-wire cables are then excited in phase quadrature using a 115 hybrid coupler (90 °, -3 dB.).
- Each coaxial (asymmetrical) input therefore sees in parallel the impedance of the two-wire helix and an adapter of length close to ⁇ / 4.
- the balun / adapter assembly used in this type of antenna is produced for example by means of a coaxial section of length ⁇ / 4, the core and the sheath of which form a dipole; to avoid the problems due to the radiation of the sheath, the dipole can be closed between the core and an additional coaxial sheath (bazooka system) so as to avoid the circulation of a current on the sheath of the coaxial.
- the use of adaptation devices introduces losses and often limits the band of use of the antenna.
- the "folded balun" is placed in the body of the excited antenna at its upper end. This then produces a diffraction disturbance of the radiation patterns, particularly at high frequencies.
- the invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
- the invention provides a new antenna structure having a quasi-hemispherical radiation pattern, and circular polarization, in particular (but not exclusively) in the L band.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide such a structure avoiding the introduction of complex adaptation devices between the antenna and its excitation.
- the invention also aims to provide an antenna having a widening of the bandwidth, or a dual band operation (dual frequency), in particular either in a bandwidth ⁇ 10%, or in two neighboring sub-bands.
- a complementary objective of the invention is to provide an antenna of low cost, and with energy consumption compatible with the constraints of on-board systems on land, sea, air or space mobiles.
- a resonant helical antenna with quasi-hemispherical radiation of the type comprising a quadrifilar helix made up of two bifilar helices arranged orthogonally and excited. in phase quadrature, this antenna comprising at least a second quadrifilar helix, coaxial and in electromagnetic coupling with said first quadrifilar helix, each of said quadrifilar helices being wound on a separate cylinder, of constant radius.
- the length of the strands is less than the wavelength ⁇ of operation of said antenna, and preferably between ⁇ / 2 and ⁇ , so as to obtain the desired hemispherical radiation pattern, with operation in standing waves.
- the strands of said second quadrifilar helix are in a situation of exact or close radial superposition with the strands of said first quadrifilar helix.
- said coupled quadrifilar propellers are connected in parallel to a common power supply.
- said common supply comprises, on the one hand, a coupler element, for the excitation in phase quadrature of the two orthogonal bifilar helices of each quadrifilar helix, and on the other hand a balancing element for the supply in phase opposition of each of the strands of the two-wire propellers.
- the strands of at least one of the two quadrifilar propellers are open or short-circuited at their non-excited end.
- At least one of the quadrifilar propellers is produced in technology printed on a dielectric support.
- said coupling of said quadrifilar helices is carried out so as to obtain radiation from the antenna in a single wide bandwidth.
- said coupling of said propellers quadrifilaires is carried out so as to obtain radiation from the antenna in at least two disjoint bandwidths.
- the coupling control can be optimized, without degrading any of the other characteristics of the antenna, and in particular the circular polarization and the radiation pattern.
- FIG. 1 A preferred embodiment of the antenna structure of the invention is shown in Figure 1. It is formed by two quadrifilar propellers 11 and 12 concentric, wound on cylindrical insulating supports 13 and 14, coaxial, of diameters d1, d2 distinct. It is clear that the structure of the antenna of the invention can be generalized obviously to more than two concentric helices.
- Each quadrifilar helix 11 and 12 has four strands 111, 112, 113, 114 and 121, 122, 123, 124 respectively, regularly spaced and wound on the cylindrical supports 13, 14.
- Each strand 111, 112, 113, 114; 121, 122, 123, 124 is formed by a continuous ribbon of electrically conductive material such as copper, of width W, printed on a kapton substrate, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the kapton substrate can have a thickness of 50 »M, for a width W of copper tape of 35» m.
- each strand is advantageously between ⁇ / 2 and ⁇ and in all cases less than or equal to ⁇ , to operate in resonant mode and obtain a quasi-hemispherical radiation diagram.
- each helix 11,12 are open at one end 15 (upper end in FIGS. 1 and 2) and electrically connected to the other end 16 (lower end in FIGS. 1 and 2) with conductive segments 31, 32, 33, 34, arranged on the base 30 of the lower part 16 of the support cylinders 13, 14 as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3.
- These flat segments 31, 32, 33, 34 are advantageously made up of ribbons printed on kapton, in the form of portions of segments of decreasing width from the edge to near the center of the base 30 of the cylinders 13, 14.
- Each of these conductive segments is connected to the central core of one of the four 50 ⁇ coaxial cables supplying the antenna structure.
- the two quadrifilar propellers 11,12 are thus fed in parallel, strand by strand (111, 121; 112, 122; 113, 123; 114, 124).
- each propeller 11,12 are excited across the segments 31, 32, 33, 34 according to the supply configuration shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4, using a conventional device consisting of a hybrid coupler module 41 (3 dB, 90 °) and two symmetrical modules 42,43 (3 dB, 180 °).
- a hybrid coupler module 41 (3 dB, 90 °) and two symmetrical modules 42,43 (3 dB, 180 °).
- One of the inputs 411, 421, 431, of each of these modules 41,42,43 is connected to ground through a 50 ⁇ resistor 44.
- the coupler module 41 is arranged so that the two outputs 413, 414 supply the other input 422, 432 of the two balancing modules 42,43.
- the outputs at 180 ° 423, 434 of the baluns are connected so as to supply two segments 31.34, the outputs at 0 ° 424 and 433 exciting the other two segments 33.34.
- This set can be made compactly in printed technology and placed directly at the base of the antenna structure.
- the coupling between the two quadrifilar propellers can be checked in several ways. It is in particular possible to act on the radial difference between the two helices, on the angular offset of the antennas around the axis of revolution of the antenna, with respect to an exact position of radial overlap strand by strand, or still on the propeller pitch of each of the propellers.
- each antenna strand adapted in impedance for example to 50 ⁇ , is of course controlled, so as not to degrade, or as little as possible, the other characteristics of the antenna, and in particular the circular polarization and the radiation pattern.
- Dual-frequency antenna (or double band) .
- the antenna parameters are presented in table I, (with C: circumference; Le: length of a radiating strand; Lax: axial length; with reference to the notations in FIG. 2 )
- the impedance presented is the impedance calculated at the input of a radiating strand of the propeller in the presence of the others, this impedance being half that of a two-wire propeller.
- the excitation device does not require any specific mounting of additional adaptation, which overcomes the antenna of the drawbacks of the simple quadrifilar antenna.
- FIG. 7 represents the radiation diagram of the coupled antenna, which differs little from the radiation diagrams of the quadrifilar propellers taken in isolation.
- This implementation can of course be generalized to more than two concentric quadrifilar propellers, so as to obtain as many distinct frequency bands as there are propellers.
- the electromagnetic coupling between the two superimposed quadrifilar helices makes it possible to obtain a single passband wider than with a monolayer propeller of the same parameters.
- Such a configuration is obtained for example by choosing the values of the parameters from Table II.
- the initial bandwidth is 65 Mhz for a ROS ⁇ 2.5 for the indoor antenna, and 56 Mhz for a ROS ⁇ 2 for the outdoor antenna.
- the bandwidth for the two-layer antenna is equal to 86 MHz for an R.O.S ⁇ 2.
- the diagram of the R.O.S. and the SMITH chart of the corresponding impedance curve are shown in Figures 8 and 9.
- the R.O.S is less than 1.75 on a continuous frequency band from 1.535 to 1.595 GHz approximately, with a resonance frequency of 1.59 Ghz.
- the structure of the antenna of the invention thus makes it possible to "reduce” the imaginary part of the impedance and to bring its real part around 50 ⁇ .
