Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of antennas networks, and more particularly network antennas broadband (5 to 10%), especially for the space sector.
- These network antennas include many sources radiant elementals, and the nourishment of these sources, in an appropriate relative provision to give to radiated fields the desired shape for application specific envisaged. So we are looking for a cheap item at manufacture (because it requires a large number, which can reach a few thousand), neither heavy nor bulky (because on board), and easy to integrate into the antenna (geometry implantation and food). In addition, for new antenna designs, we want to be able to arrange these elements on a shaped surface, possibly deformable.
- a lobe of an antenna network is formed by geometry or relative arrangement radiating elements, as well as by the amplitude and the phase of the excitation signals applied to these elements radiant through a power network and its control electronics.
- the proposed invention relates to an embodiment of an elementary source for radiating device of the flat antenna type, and radiating sub-assemblies including such sources.
- the device according to the invention can therefore be integrated in a flat array antenna, but moreover, is particularly suitable for installing such a radiant sub-assembly on a surface consistent.
- a means known from the prior art to increase the bandwidth of type printed radiating elements patch is to increase the thickness of dielectric between the patch and the ground plane.
- This method suffers from the drawback that the network of elements thus constructed is more difficult to integrate on the radiating face of the antenna, all the more if this surface is not flat but conformed. Furthermore the characteristics of radiation from a thick planar antenna degrades very quickly, which does not provide only limited operational interest.
- Another object of the invention is therefore to overcome this disadvantage of the prior art, to obtain a strip wide bandwidth without complicating the integration of the antenna on a shaped surface.
- the radiating element consists, in part of a metallic cavity, whose fine geometry results from a optimization in relation to the mission of the antenna, other part of a patch-type resonator etched on a substrate thin dielectric.
- the structure can therefore be considered as a element in technology known as buried microstrip.
- the bandwidth (BP) of an etched microstrip antenna is inversely proportional to its cavity overvoltage, also known as quality factor Q.
- Q quality factor
- This same quality factor Q is (approximately) inversely proportional to the normalized height of the patch t / ⁇ ⁇ , where t is the thickness of dielectric between the patch and the ground plane, and ⁇ ⁇ is the electrical wavelength in the dielectric characterized by the dielectric constant ⁇ , at the operating frequency of the antenna. It follows that in the major part of the curve which describes the bandwidth as a function of the normalized height, and this up to reasonable thicknesses, the bandwidth BP is linear with respect to t / ⁇ ⁇ as shown by it the abacuses from the publication of Carver and Mink (1), and reproduced in FIG. 3.
- the invention will therefore remedy the drawbacks of the prior art, and allow a wide band to be obtained busy using simple technology derived from that printed "patch" antennas, while retaining the advantages of this technology.
- the invention proposes a radiating element high bandwidth patch type for an antenna network, as defined in claim 1.
- said cavity of the embodiment previous is partially closed in the direction of radiation by a second resonator which consists of a conductive patch engraved on a support which is then placed on the front face of said conductive cavity.
- the microstrip supply line can be carried out either in simple microstrip, or in shielded microstrip or channel, and enters said cavity either by a channel dug in the metal cavity, either through a recess in the wall of said cavity.
- patch can be used, for example: circle, square, polygon, ...; as well as different forms of cavity: circular cylinder, square, octagonal, pentahexagonal, ...
- the invention also provides a subset of radiating elements for a network antenna, known as a sub-network, said sub-network comprising in particular a mechanical support, several patches and their supplies in microstrip technology, with their dielectric substrate and their associated ground plane. , characterized in that said mechanical sub-array support is placed on the front face of said dielectric substrate, on the radiation side of the antenna.
- the radiating elements conform to one of the preceding descriptions, and further comprise a resonant system around each patch, said resonant system possibly being a cavity, for example.
- said mechanical support comprises said cavities.
- said sub-assembly is supplied by a single supply point, common to all the elements of said sub-network.
- said sub-network is not planar, but conformed, that is to say that the patches of a sub-network can have different angular orientations.
- the invention also relates to the integration of subnets according to the previous descriptions in an antenna network.
- said antenna can be placed on a flat surface, of revolution, or of a any curvature.
- the subnets used to make the network antenna will be of geometry identical, allowing the production of series of components of said subnets, as well as subnets themselves.
- FIG 1 we see an example of a subnet of four radiating elements 2 of the patch type, printed on one dielectric substrate 1.
- the four radiating elements or “patches” are powered by a power network realized in microstrip technology, which consists of conductive tracks printed or engraved on the same dielectric substrate 1.
- the feeding of the four patches is from a point common 5, which feeds two branches 3a, 3b which are then still branched into sub-branches 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.
- the relative amplitude of excitation can also be controlled by the management of the various impedances of the different paths.
- FIG 2 we see an example of embodiment of a radiating element according to the prior art.
- this element includes a patch etched conductor 2 on a dielectric substrate 1 covered on its back side by a ground plane 6.
- Patch 2 is powered by microstrip 4b, which is an engraved track conductive, usually of the same material as the patch.
- patch 2 is placed at the bottom of a system closed which consists for example of a cavity 7 defined by conductive walls 8 delimiting the radial extent of the cavity 7 around patch 2.
- this cavity 7 determines its radio characteristics according to rules known to those skilled in the art; as a result, these dimensions can be chosen by the designer in order to provide the desired bandwidth at the frequency of operation of the radiating element, and this without increase in the thickness of dielectric 1 behind the patch 2. It follows that the dimensioning of the element radiating from the antenna according to the invention and as described as simply as possible in Figure 5 is not governed by the same mechanisms as sizing practical in the prior art.
- the bandwidth curves ⁇ f / f as a function of the normalized height t / ⁇ ⁇ of dielectric indicates to us that an unacceptable thickness of dielectric is necessary to provide a bandwidth beyond a few percent.
- Curve 10 represents the frequency response of a rectangular patch of dimensions equal to 0.3 x 0.5 ⁇ 0 , with the same dielectric constant parameters and from ROS. We see that for microwaves of the order of 1 to 10 GHz, indicated respectively on curves 9, 10 by a solid line and a dotted line, the relationship remains approximately linear between the bandwidth and the normalized height for widths of band between 1% and 10%.
- the main propagation line is therefore of microstrip type and typically involves a conductor track etched on a thickness of dense substrate.
- the thickness of this one is dimensioned by integrating the radioelectric criteria of use ( ⁇ r , w, h, Ze) as well as more specific constraints which can come from the envisaged mission.
- the advantage of thin substrate thickness (of the order of 20 mils, 30 mils maximum, or 0.5 to 0.75 mm) is that it makes it entirely manageable in terms of industrial production the use of radiating elements as well as their associated distribution circuits on surfaces of course flat, but above all shaped in three dimensions, as will be seen below.
- FIGS. 4a, 4b show two examples of microstrip technology which can be used for the production of supply lines for the radiating elements according to the invention.
- the microstrip line consists of a conductive track 22 etched on a dielectric substrate 1 having a ground plane 6 behind the substrate (on the opposite face of the face comprising the etched track).
- the physical parameters characterizing this system are the dielectric constant ⁇ and the height or thickness of dielectric h 1 .
- the microstrip line itself consists of a conductive track 22 etched on a dielectric substrate 1 having a ground plane 6 behind the substrate 1. Shielding around this line is constituted by conductive walls 18 which surround the track 22 and which are electrically connected to earth 6.
- the physical parameters which characterize the system are the dielectric constant ⁇ and the height or thickness of dielectric h 1 , as well as the dimensions of the shielding h 2 for the height or the distance between the surface of the dielectric 1 and the conductive wall 18 which is oriented parallel to this surface, and the width d between the conductive walls 18 on each side of the track 22.
- the space 17 inside the shield formed by the conductive walls 18 is assumed to be filled with air, and therefore will have a dielectric constant close to 1.
- the radio propagation characteristics on such a line are calculated from the physical parameters cited according to methods well known to those skilled in the art.
- this simple or "shielded" line using channel technology opens into a cavity and deforms significantly, so as to form a geometry of patch.
- the simplest form of the cavity is that of a cylinder, but other geometries can be used in function of the application: square, pentagonal, hexagonal etc ... without aspect or limiting character.
- the directivity of radiation of a element according to the invention is determined by the dimensions relative of the patch and the surrounding cavity.
- Adaptation performance is also not managed by the same laws and the implementation of the cavity more than significantly improves the performance of ROS.
- the cavity can be integrated into a structure carrier (such as the example shown in Figure 8) on which we will glue, screw, or assemble by any other means the microstrip circuit on a substrate thin dielectric 1 comprising patch 2 and the power line 4.
- a structure carrier such as the example shown in Figure 8
- FIG 5 we have a sectional view of a variant implementation of the invention.
- This figure is identical to Figure 2 except for the presence of conductive elements 13.
- This achievement allows thereby a total shielding of the microstrip assembly and patch compared to other neighboring elements.
- the electrical continuity established by the element (s) conductor (s) 13 can be total or partial:
- Partial One can imagine a discrete shielding using studs crossing the dielectric substrate 2 screwable on the cavity or even consider the technique of metallized holes in the dielectric substrate which one could weld in vapor phase for example to the continuous part of the cavity.
- FIG. 6 A first example of an antenna realization using a very wide band element according to the invention is shown in Figure 6. This element is intended for antenna operating at 8 GHz which has been produced and on which of the measurements made it possible to confirm the expected performance.
- FIG. 6 illustrates the method of this realization, which consists in adding to a basic patch 2 radiator, a second resonator 12 positioned above the first resonator 2.
- the configuration is therefore that of the Figure 5, except that the resonant cavity 7 is partially closed on its front side by a second resonator 12 which can be for example a patch printed on a dielectric support 11.
- the second element is implanted flush with cavity 7, but we could place it, with more elaborate constructions, either at a higher height or either at a lower height than the height of the conductive walls 8 of the cavity 7.
- the second resonator 12 can be etched on a carrier substrate 11 of low thickness and mass and its assembly can be done by simple bonding or screwing.
- the two resonators can be deformed at using chamfers to generate polarization circular, if required, using a single access.
- the radiation patterns measured in a band 8.0 to 8.4 GHz application show excellent device behavior.
- the ellipticity rate (cross polarization) is excellent at frequency optimization (8.2 GHz) and remains well below 3 dB on the entire useful band.
- FIGS. 2 and 5 to 7 An antenna project in which the radiator fits according to the invention and presented in FIGS. 2 and 5 to 7, concerns the creation of a scanning antenna electronics as shown in Figures 8 and 9.
- the Figure 8 shows schematically in perspective a structure mechanics of a radiating sub-assembly according to the invention, this sub-assembly being intended to be assembled with numerous similar sub-assemblies to form a network antenna as shown in Figure 9.
- the operating principle of the antenna is exposed in Figure 9.
- the example of a complete network therefore consists by installing it on a surface with symmetry of revolution around an axis z of identical subsets, such as shown in Figure 8.
- the subsets are composed in this exemplary embodiment, four radiators identical patch type according to one of FIGS. 2, 5 to 7, supplied by a common distributor as shown on the Figure 1.
- the mechanical structure 14 shown schematically in plan in Figure 8 has the conductive walls of four cavities 8 and fixing pads 15 of the circuit microstrip and its dielectric substrate 1 as shown on Figure 1.
- Recesses 19 are arranged in the conductive walls 8 for the passage of microstrip lines supply of radiant elements.
- each subnet is arranged with its axis 21 in the same plane with the main axis of the antenna z, and with an angular deviation constant between two successive planes thus defined.
- the angle ⁇ is 10 ° as in figure 8.
- the interest of this particular topology is to assist in lobe formation antenna radiation, as described in the application French patent no. 91 05510 of May 6, 1991, on behalf of the plaintiff (which is an integral part of this request as description of prior art concerning lobe antennas with formed lobes).
- the dielectric etching support can be easily formed hot for example without operating problems radioelectric.
- Another technology, triplate type for example, would have been either inapplicable or very delicate to implement.
- antennas proposed networks can they include more of elements, to be established in a plane way, or to be used to sample a reflector antenna and set up in this case according to a surface type geometry of Petzwald which optimizes the efficiency of the device.
