Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of radiating elements, in particular for the low frequency bands, more particularly the frequency bands lying below the S band, and used in applications requiring the radiating of power, which can also be used in network antennas. It applies in particular to antennas used in telecommunication satellites.
- radiating element denotes a combination of at least one radiating ground plane, excitation means intended to be supplied with signals, and a charged resonant cavity, of radiating energy representative of these signals according to a wavelength ⁇ 0 chosen.
- the radiating elements used in network antennas must typically have at least one of the following characteristics: a high surface efficiency and / or a small footprint and a low mass and / or the ability to be excited compactly in single or dual -polarization and / or a bandwidth compatible with the intended application.
- the feature of high surface efficiency is particularly important in uses of radiating elements in network antennas, because it optimizes the gain and reduces the levels of side lobes and lattice lobes.
- this characteristic is hardly compatible with some of the other characteristics, and in particular those of compactness and integration, regardless of the frequency band concerned.
- network antenna designates both active direct radiation network antennas and focal network antennas, the latter having one or more focusing reflectors, with an array of elementary sources placed in the focal zone.
- FAFR corresponding to the English terminology “Focal Array Fed Reflector”.
- CQPIE OF CONFIRMATION beam or "spot” is achieved by coherently grouping the signals of a subset of the elementary sources, with appropriate amplitudes and phases to obtain the desired antenna pattern, including the size and direction of aiming of the main lobe of radiation.
- the radiating elements whatever the applications for which they are intended, aim at filling the cones, too bulky.
- the most compact horns are of the Potter horn type; they have a longitudinal dimension typically greater than 3 ⁇ 0 , where ⁇ 0 is the wavelength in vacuum; for example, ⁇ is of the order of 150 mm in S-band.
- These Potter's horns are limited in radiating aperture, and thus in gain. Larger dimensions require longer lengths. As a result, Potter's turbinates have significant longitudinal bulk, as well as a large mass.
- a first type of planar subnetwork consists of radiating elements of cobblestone type, also called "patches" according to English terminology, connected by a triplate splitter.
- This splitter is relatively complex and makes it difficult to achieve a sub-network for bi-polarization, or even a dual-band operation. The losses generated in this network can also be significant.
- a second type of sub-network in particular described in the French patent application published under the reference FR2767970, consists of the combination of an exciter resonator of cobblestone type and of parasitic cobblestones which constitute radiating elements known under the initials ERDV, for "Radiant Element with Variable Directivity".
- This second type makes it possible to dispense with the splitter, and thus to significantly simplify its definition, as well as to repolarize in circular fields when the blocks, or "patches”, are chamfered and the polarization is circular. But, its implementation for openings greater than 1, 5 times the nominal operating wavelength is complex. This concept is also based on a micro-ribbon technology that can be incompatible with high power.
- the radiating element is then entirely metallic, compatible with applications requiring a high power, much simpler to define than a conventional ERDV element, and makes it possible to reach larger radiating openings than a conventional ERDV element.
- a radiating element has two disadvantages: obtaining large radiating openings requires grids of high reflectivities, so that the electromagnetic field is established in the Perot-Fabry type cavity.
- One of the embodiments presented therein, hereinafter described in detail with reference to FIG. 2, comprises a stack two air cavities type Perot-Fabry, allowing great compactness, while giving a high surface efficiency and compatibility with high power signals.
- the stack of two cavities makes it possible to release the coefficient of overvoltage of the exciter cavity, and thus to reduce the returns in the access, to allow a better adaptation.
- Such a structure is conducive to the excitation of higher modes, in particular generated by the discontinuity present at the interface of the two stacked cavities. These higher modes interfere with the antenna's radiation pattern.
- the aforementioned patent application FR2901062 proposes to overcome this problem by the use of side walls for the cavities, within which are made adequate reliefs.
- the reliefs may for example be made in the form of longitudinal corrugations. Nevertheless, such corrugations are difficult to achieve, and are relatively bulky.
- it may be necessary in practice to load these corrugations of a dielectric, which makes their realization more complex, and can generate problems in a space environment, or in which it is necessary to process strong signals. power.
- the radiating elements must be able to be excited in single polarization and / or in bipolarization and / or in circular polarization.
- the size of the polarizer is of the same order of magnitude as the size of the horn.
- the size of the antennas is strongly impacted by the addition of polarizers.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome at least the aforementioned drawbacks, by proposing a radiating element with resonant cavities with high surface efficiency, whose structure is particularly compact, and confers an optimal compromise between a high surface efficiency, a low congestion and low mass, as well as the ability to be excited in single polarization or bipolarization.

- a radiating element 20 may comprise two concentric air resonant cavities 21 and 22 cascaded; an upper cavity 21 disposed above a lower cavity 22. This cascading is used to excite by the feed port a lower cavity 22 of reduced dimensions, and thus to limit the excitation of higher modes in this lower cavity 22, then by coupling in the upper cavity 21.
- the radiation can be better controlled, especially in the case of radiating elements 20 wide openings. It also makes it possible to reduce the reflectivities of the covers 212 and 222, and thus to more effectively couple the radiating element 20 to the supply access. The reflection losses in the access guide are reduced, and thus the adaptation of the input impedance of the radiating element 20 is facilitated.

- a slight modification of the dimensions of the patterns of the FSS can be adjusted in order to refine the radiation and the adaptation of the radiating element 50 .
- the polarizing FSSs can be of the inductive or capacitive type: the polarizing FSS of the inductive type being essentially formed by metal surfaces in which slit-defined patterns are formed, the capacitive-type polarizing FSS being essentially formed by surfaces on which metallic patterns are made.
- the use of inductive type FSS can be advantageous because it does not require the use of a substrate, the FSS can then be directly made of a metallic material.
- Each polarizing FSS 511, 512 may for example be made in the form of a metal plate provided with slots.
- cross slot cells 520 designated "cross slots" cells according to the English terminology, may be arranged on the metal plate, for example in a periodic pattern.

- the reflectivity according to a given polarization is adjusted by varying the length of the slot perpendicular to this polarization. Knowing that the reflectivity of the slot is zero at resonance, and that before its resonance the slot has a negative phase reflection coefficient and after the resonance a positive phase, the cross slots have different lengths according to each of the two polarizations of way to create a phase shift of 90 ° between the two polarizations, and insi generate a circular polarization. For example, the lengths at x and y slots can be determined so that one of the slots has an action on frequencies below the resonant frequency, and the other slots for higher frequencies.
- the polarizing radome consisting of two separate FSS for example a distance D Fss equal to ⁇ / 2 or close to this value, a phase difference of 90 ° in transmission between the components E x and E y .
- a phase difference 90 ° in transmission between the components E x and E y .
- Period a must be set to a value greater than a x and a y .

- a polarizing radome 61 is produced above the upper cavity 31.
- the polarizing radome 61 is also cylindrical in shape, but square section. As illustrated by FIG. 6b, the polarizing radome 61 is delimited at its lateral portion by side walls of substantially cylindrical shape, with a square section. The use of a square section allows here to have a larger number of square cross-shaped slot cells 620 on the surface of polarizing FSS 61 1, 612 formed by two metal plates arranged parallel to each other. In a typical example, it is possible to produce a radiating element intended to operate in a frequency band ranging from 2.48 GHz to 2.5 GHz, the polarizing radome 61 of which is square in shape, the side of which has a length of the order of 2.7 ⁇ 0 .
- Such a configuration makes it possible to achieve circular double polarization, that is to say right and left, by exciting the antenna by two linear polarizations + 45 ° to -45 °.
- the radiation patterns are perfectly axisymmetric, that is to say that the lobe width is constant regardless of the observation plane, and also characterized by a secondary lobe level or SLL less than - 25 dB.
- the directivity varies between 16.5 dB and 16.7 dB, and the surface efficiency is between 63% and 66%.
- is less than -20 dB and the axial ratio is less than
