Definitions
- Radio frequency module comprising an array of isophase waveguides
- the present invention relates to a radio frequency (RF) module comprising an array of several non-identical waveguides.
- the waveguides can in this case be of different lengths.
- the radiofrequency module and/or the waveguides it contains make it possible to deliver an isophase signal despite the differences of the waveguides.
- the present invention aims in particular to control the phase shift between the waveguides or to minimize or eliminate it.
- US201212112963 discloses a butler array having a plurality of hybrids and waveguides such that "the output of a butler array has the same amplitude and a constant phase difference with respect to a signal of entrance.
- the transmission lines connecting the hybrids must be designed to have the same transmission length, or the amplitude and phase must be adjusted according to the resulting change.
- a curved waveguide can increase the complexity of paths.
- JP2003185858 discloses a wavelength demultiplexer having an input channel optical waveguide 1, a plurality of output channel optical waveguides 5 and an array waveguide 8 interposed between the input waveguide 1 and the output waveguide 5.
- WO20201 94270 describes a radiofrequency module comprising waveguides provided with ridges making it possible to increase the single-mode bandwidth.
- DRA antenna arrays are also known which combine several phase-shifted radiating elements (elementary antennas) in order to improve the gain and the directivity.
- the signals received on the various radiating elements, or emitted by these elements, are amplified with variable gains and out of phase with each other in order to control the shape of the reception and transmission lobes of the network.
- the various radiating elements are each connected to a waveguide which transmits the signal received in the direction of the radio frequency electronic modules, respectively which supplies this radiating element with a radio frequency signal to emit.
- the signals transmitted or received by each radiating element can also be separated according to their polarization by means of a polarizer.
- the assembly consisting of radiating elements (elementary antennas) in a network, associated waveguides, any filters and polarizers is referred to in this text as a passive radiofrequency module.
- the waveguides and associated polarizers are referred to as the feed network.
- the assembly is intended to constitute the passive part of a direct radiation network DRA.
- Arrays of radiating elements for high frequencies, in particular for microwave frequencies, are difficult to design.
- This reduction in the pitch between the various radiating elements of the network is however incompatible on the one hand with the minimum size required by the polarizers, and on the other hand with the size of the electronic amplification and phase-shifting circuits upstream of the polarizers.
- the size of the polarizers and the electronics most often determines the minimum pitch between the different radiating elements of an array.
- WO2019229515 describes a set of non-rectilinear waveguides, of varying length and shape, making it possible to reduce or increase the pitch between the radiating elements and thus to modulate the secondary lobes.
- the phase shift resulting from their difference in length is compensated by adapting the section of the different waveguides.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a passive radiofrequency module, intended to form the passive part of a direct radiation network DRA, which is free from or minimizes the limitations of known devices.
- This radio frequency module comprises in particular a first layer comprising an array of radiating elements, each radiating element having a section making it possible to support at least one mode of wave propagation.
- It may also comprise a second layer forming a network of waveguides.
- It may also comprise a fourth layer forming a network of ports.
- the second layer can be interposed between the first layer and the fourth layer.
- Each waveguide can be intended to transmit in one direction or the other a radiofrequency signal between a port of the fourth layer and a radiating element.
- the surface of the first layer may be different from the surface of the fourth layer.
- the waveguides can be of different length and shape, but preferably have the same section.
- One or more of the waveguides includes at least one phase adjustment element.
- the waveguides thus have several cumulative functions; they make it possible on the one hand to transmit the signals between the ports of the fourth layer and the radiating elements of the first layer, and on the other hand to choose independently the pitch of the radiating elements and the pitch of the fourth layer ports. They also make it possible to correct or eliminate any phase shifts inherent in the structure of the module. They also allow a more compact arrangement, which could be impossible or more difficult by existing means.
- This arrangement makes it possible, among other things, to reduce the pitch between the radiating elements of the first layer, in order to reduce the amplitude of the undesirable secondary lobes (“grating lobes”).
- the pitch (p1) between two radiating elements of the first layer is preferably less than /A2, X being the wavelength at the maximum operating frequency.
- the convergent arrangement of the waveguides from the fourth layer to the radiating elements also makes it possible to space out the ports of the fourth layer.
- the large pitch between the ports makes it possible, for example, to arrange the electronic amplification and phase-shifting circuit supplying each port in the immediate vicinity of each port, by reducing the constraints on the dimensions of this circuit.
- This significant step also makes it possible to have, if necessary, polarizers of sufficient size close to each port, to perform an effective separation of the signals according to their polarization.
- the area of the first layer is larger than the area of the fourth layer.
- the waveguides then move away from each other between the fourth layer and the first layer.
- the arrangement of the radiating elements of the first layer may be different from the arrangement of the ports of the fourth layer.
- the radiating elements of the first layer can be arranged in a rectangular MxN matrix while the ports of the fourth layer are arranged according to a rectangular matrix KxL, M being different from K and N being different from L.
- This different arrangement can also involve different shapes, for example a rectangular arrangement on one of the layers and a circle, oval, cross, rectangle hollow, polygon, etc on the other layer.
- the radiofrequency module may comprise a third layer interposed between the second layer and the fourth layer.
- the elements of the third layer can perform signal transformation.
- the third layer may also comprise an array of elements performing a section match between the section of the output of the ports of the fourth layer and the section of different shape of the waveguides.
- a third layer of this type can in particular be provided when only the ports or only the waveguides are ribbed.
- the third layer interposed between the second layer and the fourth layer can also comprise an array of polarizers as elements.
- the radio frequency module may include external polarizers just after the radiating elements in the air.
- the third layer interposed between the second layer and the fourth layer may include a filter.
- Each radiating element of the first layer can be provided with at least one ridge parallel to the direction of propagation of the signal.
- the radiating elements of the first layer can also be unstriated and consist of open waveguides or square, circular, pyramidal horns, in the form of splines.
- the radiant elements can have a square, rectangular, or preferably hexagonal, circular or oval outer section.
- the pitch (p 1 ) between two radiating elements can be variable within the module.
- Each waveguide of the second layer is preferably designed to transmit either only a fundamental mode or a fundamental mode and a single degenerate mode.
- the length of the different waveguides of the second layer can be variable.
- the waveguides are, however, rendered isophase at the wavelength considered, in particular thanks to the presence of at least one phase adjustment element.
- the channel of different waveguides can be non-rectilinear.
- the second layer waveguides can be curved.
- the curvature of the different waveguides of the second layer can be variable.
- edge waveguides can be more curved than center waveguides.
- the ports of the fourth layer can constitute the inputs of a polarizer.
- a first end of all the waveguides may be in a first plane, while a second end of all the waveguides is in a second plane.
- the module is advantageously a module made by additive manufacturing.
- Additive manufacturing makes it possible in particular to produce waveguides of complex shape, in particular curved waveguides converging into a funnel between the layer of radiating elements and the layer of polarizers.
- additive manufacturing means any process for manufacturing parts by adding material, according to computer data stored on a computer medium and defining a model of the part.
- the expression also refers to other manufacturing methods by hardening or coagulation of liquid or powder in particular, including without limitation methods based on ink jets (binder jetting), DED (Direct Energy Deposition), EBFF (Electron beam freeform fabrication), FDM (fused deposition modeling), PFF (plastic freeforming), aerosol, BPM (ballistic particle manufacturing), powder bed, SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), ALM ( additive Layer Manufacturing), polyjet, EBM (electron beam melting), light curing, etc. Manufacturing by stereolithography or by selective laser melting is however preferred because it makes it possible to obtain parts with relatively clean surface states, with low roughness.
- the module is preferably monolithic.
- a monolithic manufacture of the module makes it possible to reduce costs, by eliminating the need for assembly. It also makes it possible to guarantee precise relative positioning of the various components.
- the invention also relates to a module comprising the above elements as well as an electronic circuit with amplifiers and/or phase shifters linked to each port.
- the invention further relates to any object comprising such a module, in particular a communication object.
- a communication object can be specifically dedicated to the aeronautical field or aerospace. It may for example be a communication satellite.
- the invention further relates to a method for designing and producing the module that is the subject of the present description.

- Figure 1 illustrates a passive radiofrequency module 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention, intended to form the passive part of a direct radiation network DRA.
- the radiofrequency module 1 of this example comprises four layers 3, 4, 5, 6.
- the first layer 3 comprises a two-dimensional network of N radiating elements 30 (antennas) for transmitting electromagnetic signals into the ether, respectively for receiving the signals received.
- the second layer 4 comprises a network of waveguides 40.
- the third layer 5 is optional; it can also be integrated into the second layer 4.
- the third layer 5 includes a network of elements 50, for example polarizers or section adapters.
- the fourth layer 6 comprises a two-dimensional network, for example a rectangular matrix, with N ports 60 of waveguide 40.
- Each port 60 constitutes an interface with an active element of the DRA such as an amplifier and/or a phase shifter, part of a beamforming network (also known as spatial filtering or beam forming or channel forming).
- a port thus connects a waveguide to an electronic circuit, in order to inject a signal in the waveguides or in the opposite direction to receive the electromagnetic signals in the waveguides.
- This module 1 is intended to be used in a multibeam environment.
- the radiating elements 30 are preferably close to each other so that the pitch p1 between two adjacent radiating elements is smaller than the wavelength at the nominal frequency at which the module 1 is intended to be used. The amplitude of the secondary transmission and reception lobes is thus reduced.
- FIGS. 3A to 3C illustrate different views of an example of a module according to the prior art, without the third and the fourth layer.
- the waveguides 40 and the radiating elements 30 have in this example a square section provided with four grooves arranged symmetrically on the internal flanks.
- the waveguides are convergent in the direction of the first layer 3.
- the radiating elements 30 are constituted by waveguides whose internal cavity is provided with grooves or edges 300, for example two, three or four edges 300, for example distributed at equal angular distances.
- the present invention is characterized by the presence of one or more phase adjustment elements 500, arranged in protrusion on the internal surface of the waveguides 40.
- the phase adjustment elements 500 can be arranged in replacing or in addition to the ridges or ridges 300 known from the prior art.
- the phase adjustment elements 500 make it possible in this case to eliminate the phase difference inherent in the variations in length and/or geometry of the waveguides 40 of the same assembly. They also make it possible to limit or eliminate the variations in shape and dimensions of the waveguides 40 within the same assembly.
- phase adjustment elements 500 make it possible to produce a signal without any phase shift.
- the phase adjustment elements 500 can however make it possible to control the phase shift, for example to better control the secondary lobes.
- a specific phase shift can be induced thanks to the phase adjustment elements 500, limited for example to certain waveguides 40, according to their position in the matrix of waveguides or other factors.
- phase adjustment elements which differ from one waveguide to another.
- the section of these elements, their length, their height and/or their number can vary from one waveguide to another so as to cause different phase shifts and for example to thus compensate for differences in length between different waveguides.
- the waveguides 40 can thus have a cross-section of constant or practically constant shape and dimension.
- the cross-sectional shape essentially designates the outer contour of a given waveguide 40. According to one aspect, it excludes the shape and section of the inner surface of the waveguide. According to another aspect, it excludes any geometry or internal element of the waveguide other than the internal contours whose shape corresponds to the external contours.
- the shape of the cross section refers not only to the geometric shape of the cross section but also to its dimensions.
- the cross-sectional shape of a given waveguide 40 is preferably constant or substantially constant over the entire length of the waveguide 40.
- the cross-sectional shape of all waveguides 40 d a given set is identical, even in the case where the waveguides 40 have different lengths.
- the variations in length between the waveguides 40 are liable to generate phase shifts which must be rectified or compensated, at least partially.
- Other parameters such as the variation of the longitudinal shapes of the waveguides, even if they have the same length, can generate phase shifts.
- variations in the radii of curvature, or in the number of curvatures of the waveguides 40 can produce such phase shifts.
- Other parameters such as any variations in roughness or combinations of materials used in the manufacture of the waveguides are also likely to influence the phase shift.
- phase adjustment elements 500 make it possible to eliminate the phase shift or in any case to control it.
- the waveguides of a given set, some or all of which include one or more of the phase adjustment elements 500 are isophase.
- the phase adjustment elements 500 alternatively make it possible to control the phase shifts. This means in particular that the differences in phase shift between waveguides, inherent in the structure of the waveguides of the module, can be reduced or made similar, or even identical. This further means that phase shifts can be produced in a controlled manner. This may be required, for example, to limit or eliminate secondary lobes or interference between radiating elements.
- Phase adjustment elements 500 can be used to correct phase shifts initially expected to result from the structure of the waveguides but ultimately diverge from the expected values.
- phase adjustment elements make it possible to rectify any structural or manufacturing faults to obtain the phase shift value required for each waveguide of the module.
- a phase adjustment element 500 can for example take the form of a variation in the internal diameter of the waveguide 40.
- FIG. 4 shows such an example of a waveguide 40, having an internal surface SI forming a maximum diameter dmax and a minimum diameter dmin, and an outer surface SE, of section and of constant shape over its length L.
- the waveguide 40 is shown rectilinear, it may not be rectilinear. It can also have all the shapes of cross sections already mentioned in the present description.
- the section of the waveguide can be hexagonal or polygonal, square, rectangular, round or oval, or of any other suitable geometry.
- the phase adjustment element 500 can gradually reduce the internal diameter of a waveguide 40 between a maximum diameter dmax and a minimum diameter dmin, over its entire length L or over only part of its length L. In this last case, it is a local reduction of the internal diameter being able for example to compensate for the effects of a curvature of the waveguide.
- Such an arrangement can be located in one or more central portions of the waveguide 40 or else at one or more of its ends.
- the values of the maximum diameter dmax and minimum dmin can be determined as a function of the length L of the waveguide 40 or of its difference in length with the adjacent waveguides.
- the slope of the variation in diameter between the values dmax and dmin, or else the length of the adjustment element 500 can be determined as a function of the length L of the waveguide 40 or of its difference in length with adjacent waveguides.
- the value of the maximum diameter dmax can correspond to the diameter of the internal surface SI, or else to a fraction of the order of 70% or 80% or approximately 90%, or approximately 95% of the diameter of the inner surface SI.
- the minimum diameter dmin can meanwhile correspond to a value of the order of 60% or approximately 50%, or even 40% of the diameter of the internal surface SI.
- phase adjustment elements 500 can each have an eigenvalue of the maximum diameter dmax and of the minimum diameter dmin.
- the diameter is understood here as the dimension of the internal space of the waveguide 40, independently of the geometry of its section. It therefore applies equally well to round or oval cross-sectional shapes as to polygonal shapes.
- the phase adjustment element can cover the entirety of the internal surface SI.
- the phase adjustment element 500 can be arranged on a part of the cross section of the waveguide 40.
