Definitions

  • the invention relates to a duplex transmission-reception microwave head with orthogonal polarizations.
  • duplexers are currently widespread in all radio link systems.
  • the vast majority of them use waveguide access on both polarities, or coaxial on rectangular or square horns. They are generally based on the principle that an oversized waveguide can propagate two waves (case of the TE 11 circular or square guide) with orthogonal polarizations.
  • the separation of the electromagnetic fields is obtained by a mode filtering effect (for example using a decoupling plate which carries one of the types of propagation under the cut) and by combining the guide lengths.
  • a good quality duplexer ensures a decoupling of 40 to 50 dB between the ports and needs to be carried out as a waveguide on all of its ports, which preserves the distribution of electromagnetic fields. This principle is always retained for its greater reproduction fidelity and its better symmetry.
  • the competition is, in this case, transferred to the mechanical environment and uses molded cases as well as hydride or composite technologies.
  • a French patent published under the number 2 502 405 describes a system for receiving microwave signals with linear ortogonal polarizations essentially comprising, following a parabolic reflector, a reception horn, a badpass filter, a separator modes and a box containing electronic amplification and frequency conversion circuits.
  • the horn and the filter are made as a waveguide and are, with the mode separator and the housing, carried by the same support consisting of two half-shells symmetrical with respect to their longitudinal plane of assembly and which can be manufactured by a common industrial process such as, in particular, molding or injection of metal or plastic material subsequently-metallized.
  • the connection between the waveguide part and the electronic circuits is ensured by the subdivision of the separator into two waveguides of orthogonal rectangular straight sections, these two guides being respectively coupled to two support plates. of these circuits.
  • Such an embodiment does not allow extensive integration, due to the existence of problems of deformation of the fields by coupling between the microwave signals with orthogonal polarizations.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the invention proposes a duplex transmission-reception microwave head with orthogonal polarizations, comprising an elongated housing provided at one end with a longitudinal bore forming a first waveguide, and a transverse bore forming a second guide opening into the first guide, and an antenna which dives into the first guide, characterized in that this antenna is a receiving antenna which dives into the first guide, at a place situated between the internal end of this first guide and the where the second guide leads, and that a transmitting antenna plunges into the second guide at its free end, each of these antennas being connected respectively to a coaxial access, a metal plate being disposed longitudinally in the first guide between two transverse planes containing the two antennas
  • such a head allows a guide-coaxial composite integration.
  • the invention provides a microwave head comprising a cylindrical or semi-cylindrical housing formed of concentric fins, serving as a radiator, which have been machined at a first end of this housing to form three flats, the first two in above and below, being parallel and the third being perpendicular to them.
  • These three flats are each hollowed out respectively with an oblong cavity each intended to contain a circuit.
  • the third cavity is connected to the other two by a succession of parallel orifices intended to contain connection wires between the different circuits.
  • These three cavities communicate respectively with the first end of the housing through three orifices.
  • the first and the second cavity disposed on either side of this longitudinal bore communicate with the latter via respectively a first transverse bore of cylindrical shape and a second transverse bore which forms the second guide.
  • Such a head has many advantageous mechanical characteristics: - single die-cast housing; - accessibility to amplification and supply functions through the cavities; - small footprint (use of an antenna in the home).
  • the microwave head according to the invention comprises a box illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5.
  • This housing 10 of cylindrical or semi-cylindrical shape is formed of concentric fins 11, serving as a radiator, which have been machined at a first end 12 of the housing 10 to form three flats, the first two 13, 14 above and below being parallel and the third 15 being perpendicular to them.
  • the three cavities 16, 17, 18 also have holes 20 allowing the fixing in each of them of a cir-cuit.
  • the third cavity 18 is connected to the other two by a succession of parallel orifices 21, intended to contain connection wires between the different circuits.
  • These three cavities 16, 17, 18 communicate respectively with the first end 12 of the housing 10 through three orifices 22, 23 and 24.
  • a longitudinal cylindrical bore 25 is machined in this casing to open at the second end 26 thereof so as to form a first guide in TE 11 mode.
  • the first (16) and the second (17) cavity disposed on either side of this bore 25 communicate with the latter via respectively a first cross-sal bore 27 of cylindrical shape and a second transverse bore 28 of rectangular shape, partially closed on the side of the first longitudinal bore by an iris 29, so as to form a rectangular guide in TE 10 mode with iris compensation.
  • a polarization plate 31 cuts the first cavity in a median plane in the longitudinal direction and it is located between the first (27) and the second (28) transverse bore. This plate makes it possible to short-circuit that of the electric fields which is parallel to it.
  • the head according to the invention is shown in Figures 6 and 7, once mounted.
  • the three cavities 16, 17 and 18 are respectively closed, to form electromagnetic shielding enclosures, by three flat covers 35, 36 and 37 which rest on the three flats 13, 14 and 15.
  • each of these cavities are arranged respectively: a reception circuit 38 in the first cavity 16; - a transmission circuit 39 in the second cavity 17; a supply circuit 40 for the two other circuits 37 and 38 in the third cavity 18.
  • Each of these three circuits is connected to a plug fixed in one of the orifices 22, 23 and 24, the first two being coaxial plugs 41 and 42, the third not appearing in the figures.
  • the reception circuit 38 for example of the LNC ("Low noise converter”) type, is an amplification circuit of the reception signal comprising an antenna 44 which passes through the first transverse bore 27 so as to be arranged, as for its reception part proper, in the longitudinal bore 25.
  • LNC Low noise converter
  • the transmission circuit 39 for example of the HPA ("high power amplifier") type, is a circuit for amplifying the transmission signal comprising an antenna 45 positioned in the second transverse bore 28. This circuit forms a shutter of said transverse bore 28 .
  • the third circuit 40 enables current components of the other two circuits 38 and 39, in particular their transistors, to be polarized by means of wires which pass through the orifices 21.
  • this housing 10 On the second end of this housing 10 can be mounted an excitation horn located in the extension of the longitudinal bore 25 so as to complete the microwave head of the invention, such a horn well known to those skilled in the art. art not shown in the figures.
  • each of the circuits 38, 39, 40 located on the side of the housing can be arranged a metal sole serving as ground plane.
  • the microwave head according to the invention therefore consists of an integrated composite transmission and reception system with orthogonal polarizations having in particular the following characteristics: a duplicated source having a large decoupling (greater than 50 dB) by its composite arrangement (coaxial antenna in a cylindrical guide 25 in TE 11 mode and rectangular guide 28 with iris compensation 29 in TE 10 mode); - A reception amplification circuit 38 mounted directly in the body of the duplexer in the foundry; this reception amplification circuit 38 being provided with an antenna 44 which directly accesses the cylindrical guide 25; - a transmission amplification circuit 39 directly mounting in the body of the foundry duplexer; this emission amplification circuit 39, being provided with an antenna 45, forming the shutter of the emission guide 28 and the guide-coaxial transition.
  • the whole of the head constitutes a waterproof block which forms a heat radiator mounted in the open air or in the room, at the focus of a parabolic or off-set antenna by means of a corrugated or trapped bipolar circular source. .
  • the invention relates to the composite arrangement of the duplexer associated with the transmission and reception amplification circuits, while serving as a radiator for the energy consumed without loss of link on the transmission and a very low noise temperature at the reception.
  • the head according to the invention has the following characteristics:
  • the housing 10 can be conventionally machined from a metal, for example a light alloy, or die-cast then metallized, for example a metallized epoxy; -
  • the circuits can be made, for example, from duroid or Teflon glass 0.254 mm thick, arranged on a rigid metal soleplate with a thickness greater than 2 mm.
  • the iris 29 which allows the adaptation between the first guide 25 and the second guide 28 can be replaced by a post.
  • the longitudinal bore can be square or rectangular: It propagates, in this case too, a TE 11 mode.
  • the second guide 28 can be square or rectangular: it then propagates a TE 10 mode, but it can also be circular: it then propagates a TE 11 mode.
