Definitions
- the invention relates to a linear array antenna with high efficiency.
- Such an antenna is particularly advantageous in the Synthetic Aperture Radar or SAR) used in particular in the space sector.
- network lobes appear in the radiation diagram. Their level is greater than that required for the side lobes, which decreases the antenna gain and creates ambiguities.
- the antenna having a long length, to generate a end lobe in the plane this condition leads to a number of sources prohibitive.
- the document EP 317 414 A1 describes a planar antenna with microstrip suspended, and self-supporting ground planes with thick radiating slots, without positioning pads. This antenna is intended for ground applications of consumer goods, for example satellite TV reception, and its design aims above all at a low production cost.
- the object of the linear array antenna of the invention is to meet all of these specifications.
- the invention proposes, in fact, a linear array antenna composed of a radiating element formed by an alignment of slots annulars excited by at least one distributor element, characterized in that this distributor element is a buried distributor, included in the radiating element, and therefore invisible from the radiating face of said antenna; so as to avoid any stray radiation from said dispatcher.
- Such an antenna is provided to radiate (or receive) simultaneously in two linear polarizations, or for radiate (or receive) simultaneously with two polarizations circular (right and left).
- said antenna includes an integrated radome and a distributor floor.
- said antenna only comprises thin substrates, and therefore of low mass, spaced apart by conductive spacers without mechanical continuity in the plane of the network, so as to avoid differential expansions with substrates.
- said antenna comprises shields, between polarizations of a sub-network and between adjacent sub-networks, radiant elements and distributors so as to avoid any coupling between them.
- the antenna is a broadband antenna using resonant discs etched on the distributor stage, resonating at a frequency close to that of annular slots.
- the antenna is a dual-band antenna using resonant disks engraved on the distributor stage, resonating at a frequency far from that of the annular slots.
- the antenna according to the invention is a linear array antenna composed of an alignment of annular slots excited by at least one buried distribution element, included in the radiating element, and therefore invisible from the radiating face of said antenna; so as to avoid any stray radiation from said distributor.
- Such an antenna is intended to radiate (or receive) simultaneously in two linear polarizations; or to radiate (or receive) simultaneously in two circular polarizations (right and left).
- both half-shells 10 and 15 must be connected to the same potential. This is provided by the first substrate thanks to the metallization of surfaces opposite with the two half-shells and the presence of a large number of metallized holes located on the periphery of the cavities, connecting these two surfaces.
- These three substrates 25, 32 and 37 are spaced apart by the conductive spacers 41, for example of aluminum, which delimit the cavities of the annular slots and the channels of the distributors.
- the assembly can be carried out in a single operation by brazing in the oven after depositing a solder preform at the interfaces between the spacers and the copper substrates, or by tinning the spacers.
- the materials and process used in such realization guarantee very good performances in cost and mass subnets.
- the spacers of small dimensions and without continuity in the network plan allow the use of materials with low coefficient of expansion, compatible for example with a carbon structural panel ensuring high rigidity to the antenna.
- the subnets are much shorter, which allows for a antenna with slightly higher ohmic losses.
- the invention thus makes it possible, in any one of these embodiments to form a space radar antenna with synthesis of aperture comprising a network of 1.33 x 10 m 2 composed of sub-panels of 0.66 x 1 m 2 .
- the elevation scan requiring a step between the subnets of approximately 0.7 ⁇ at 5.3 GHz, no azimuth scanning not being specified, to avoid an additional distributor stage supplying short radiating elements, bipolar sub-networks of the length of the panel (about 1 m) are therefore best suited.
- the invention makes it possible to satisfy all of these specifications with sub-networks of 24 annular slots.
- the antenna therefore performs the functions of radiating element and distributor on one level. Lower and upper spaces are made by aluminum half-shells assembled by screws. The excitation of the two polarizations is achieved by coaxial probes thumbnails placed near the center of the network.
- the radiation diagrams for the horizontal and vertical polarizations are given in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the normal polarization diagrams 60 and 61 in the azimuth planes are very close to those of an equi-amplitude equi-phase opening like the show the indicators at "*" at ⁇ 3.22 ° which correspond to the first nulls of such an opening.
- the cross polarization diagrams 62 and 63 in the axis are less than 30 dB / max over the entire bandwidth.
