Definitions

the present invention relates to an electromagnetic antenna with transverse omnidirectional radiation in right or left circular polarization.
known antennas of this kind such as simple helices, crossed dipoles, folded crossed dipoles, quadrifilar helices, Archimedean spirals, conical spirals, logarithmic spirals, and planar antennas (patch) do not radiate in circular polarization only along their main axis of revolution and can not provide omnidirectional coverage in azimuth because the energy radiated transversely is almost nonexistent by construction.
Transmitting or receiving stations for traveling satellites involve the use of a circularly polarized antenna below the horizon with omnidirectional coverage.
a large number of messages are lost or erroneous because for low sites (unfavorable case), the "ground” or "on-board” antennas only radiate laterally a low energy in rectilinear polarization.
the lack of energy at low sites and the rotation of the polarization plane result in the breaking of links and therefore of messages.
the present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of known antennas by proposing an antenna which makes it possible to obtain omnidirectional coverage in azimuth, in right or left circular polarization, and in which the transverse components of the radiated fields E and H are in quadrature and at their maximum amplitude so as to obtain a maximum of energy radiated transversely in circular polarization.
Another object of the invention is to propose an omnidirectional antenna in azimuth which radiates a maximum of transverse energy in right or left circular polarization in a large cone focused on the horizon.
Omnidirectional antennas comprising at least two antenna elements in horizontal rectilinear polarization are already known in this regard from document US-2532528, as well as from document US-2217911 which constitutes the state of the art of the application. spaced substantially uniformly in a first plane and concentrically with a third antenna element in vertical rectilinear polarization situated in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first, said antenna elements each being supplied radioelectrically by currents substantially of the same phase and of the same amplitude, the phase centers of the antenna elements in horizontal rectilinear polarization and the phase center of the antenna element in vertical rectilinear polarization being substantially distant from an odd number of quarter-waves in the direction wave propagation.
the arrangement of the elements is such that there is no disturbance of the field radiated by the presence of an excitation line parallel to the radiating elements.
the polarization is perfectly circular and easily controllable.
the present invention therefore relates to an omnidirectional antenna comprising at least two antenna elements in horizontal rectilinear polarization spaced substantially uniformly in a first plane and concentrically with a third antenna element in vertical rectilinear polarization located in a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first, said antenna elements each being supplied radio-electrically by currents substantially of the same phase and of the same amplitude, the phase centers of the antenna elements in horizontal rectilinear polarization and the phase center of the antenna element in vertical rectilinear polarization being substantially distant from an odd number of quarter-waves in the direction of propagation of the wave, characterized in that the antenna elements are supplied in horizontal rectilinear polarization by means of d feed elements extending substantially radially pa r relative to said antenna elements, substantially in said foreground.
the supply elements are substantially evenly distributed in said first plane; the feed elements of the horizontally polarized antenna elements extend radially from said antenna elements that at an impedance transformer head common to the antenna elements with horizontal or vertical polarization; the head of said antenna impedance transformer is located at the phase center of the vertically polarized antenna element.
the omnidirectional antenna according to the invention can comprise three antenna elements with horizontal polarization. It may in particular comprise three half-wave antennas with horizontal polarization spaced substantially uniformly in the same plane and arranged concentrically with a fourth monopole or dipole antenna with vertical polarization and situated in a plane substantially perpendicular to that of said half-wave antennas, these four antennas being supplied by currents of the same phase and of the same amplitude, the diameter of the circle containing the three half-wave antennas being substantially equal to half a wavelength in air at the average working frequency.
Each antenna element with horizontal polarization preferably comprises two conductive elements, of rectilinear shape or in an arc, placed on the periphery of an insulating plate, on either side of it, interconnected by a conductive jumper of liaison.
the vertically polarized antenna element can be of the cuff antenna type.
the horizontally polarized antenna elements can be arranged on a printed circuit.
the antenna elements with vertical and horizontal polarizations are advantageously planar elements.
the invention also relates to an application of the above-mentioned antenna to all-ground, ground-to-air, ground-to-air, ground-to-sea, sea-to-air, sea-to-ground, sea-to-sea, air-to-ground, air-to-sea, air- transmissions. air in a disturbed surrounding environment as well as an application of this antenna to the production of a reduced power FM transmitter.
the elements marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 form the upper radiating assembly, in vertical rectilinear polarization, of the antenna cuff type. These elements are coaxial.
Elements 1, 2, 3 and 4 are metallic and welded together to establish radio-electric continuity, element 2 being a coaxial energy supply element which is covered by an electrically insulating material of an appropriate nature 26.
the respective pairs of electrically conductive elements (for example made of copper) 5 and 6, 7 and 8 and 9 and 10, shaped in an arc or section of toroid, form three half-wave antennas in horizontal rectilinear polarization supplied with their center by current balancing elements respectively marked 11, 12 and 13.
the above-mentioned pairs of radiating elements are joined to the periphery of a support plate 25 made of electrically insulating material (for example epoxy resin) and coaxial with antenna element with aforementioned cuff, and are regularly angularly arranged at the periphery of this plate.
Each pair of above-mentioned radiating elements 5 to 10 comprises an element disposed on the upper face 25a of the plate 25 and an element disposed against the underside 25b of the plate 25, the two elements of the same pair being electrically connected by a conductive jumper such as that marked 17 in Figure 2.
the plate 25 also includes three circular cutouts 25c regularly angularly spaced, each circular cutout 25c extending between two adjacent radial symmetrization elements.
the elements 5 to 10 may be in the form of straight lines (see Figure 6).
the antenna elements with horizontal polarization can also be only 2 in number and arranged as schematically represented in FIGS. 7 and 8.
the plate 25 is not essential and the antenna will then be self-supporting.
the embodiment shown in Figure 1 corresponds to an antenna with right circular polarization.
an antenna with left circular polarization is obtained.
the oblong radial cuts 25d of the plate 25 housing the baluns 11 to 13 make it possible not to modify the "electrical length" of said baluns and to avoid operating aberrations.
the antenna elements with horizontal polarization A1 to A3 can be produced in the form of a printed circuit.
each antenna element A1 to A4 can be produced in the form of a plane element known to those skilled in the art.
the metallic element marked 16 forms the external reinforcement of the supply circuits of the four above-mentioned antenna elements and is extended, on the side opposite to the antenna element A4, by a metal support member 14, also coaxial with the plate 25, and by a coaxial connector of end 15 which can also be used as a support for an envelope 40 (shown partially in phantom in Figure 1) housing the antenna and preferably filled with a polyurethane foam, or a metallic reflective plane 41 shown in dashed line in Figure 2.
the aforementioned polyurethane foam could be replaced by a dielectric or magnetic material to reduce the physical dimensions of the elements antenna.
the cutouts 25c thus allow good filling of the envelope 40 despite the presence of the plate 25.
the antenna according to the invention also comprises, coaxial with the latter, the internal head 22 of the impedance transformer which receives the coaxial cores of radio frequency (RF) power from the antenna in vertical polarization A4, that is to say the coaxial core marked 20, and of the three antennas A1 to A3 in horizontal polarization, that is to say the coaxial souls identified 19 which extend, opposite of the aforementioned head 22, perpendicular to the coaxial core 20 of the antenna A4.
RF radio frequency
the head 22 of said impedance transformer is extended downwards by a metallic cylindrical element 23 which constitutes the antenna transformation section according to the invention and which is held in place inside an insulating cylindrical sleeve 24 also coaxial with the plate 25, in particular.
the conductor 23 is extended downward, that is to say towards the coaxial connector 15, by a metallic cylindrical element 18 which constitutes the 50 ohm coaxial feed line of the antenna.
the balancing elements 11 to 13 can be interconnected at point 2 so that the impedance head 22 is brought back to this point 2.
all the other constituent elements of the antenna are made of material conducting radio frequency currents and interconnected so that, if the antenna is supplied with direct current, all the points of the metallic structure of this antenna are at the same potential.
the radial symmetrization elements marked 11 and 11 '(see Figures 2 and 4) or 11, 12 and 13 (see Figure 1) form with the interconnection jumpers marked 17 (see Figures 1, 2 and 4) and the insulating sleeves 27 surrounding the aforementioned symmetrization conductors (see FIG. 4), symmetrizers of the "paper clip" type which allow the radiofrequency supply of the radiating elements in horizontal polarization respectively 5, 6; 7, 8 and 9, 10.
Figures 4 and 5 show the principle of radio antenna power.
Figure 4 illustrates in particular the detail of the radio-frequency supply of the radiating elements in horizontal polarization with the use of a trombone type balun known in itself. It can of course be used any other type of balun (for example of the apelooka type).
the potentials V o and the phases 4) D (see Figure 4) must be identical at 17 for each of the antennas in horizontal polarization. In addition, it is necessary that the phase in 2 is identical to phase 4) D and that the amplitude at this point is very little different.
the antenna in vertical polarization is dimensioned to be tuned to the frequency of work according to conventional calculations related to antennas and known to the skilled person. The same is true for radiating elements in horizontal polarization which are tuned to the working frequency.
the antenna according to the invention can operate in a relatively large frequency band (approximately 20%) if the radiating elements are dimensioned accordingly.
the coaxial paths marked 21, 11 and 11 '(see Figure 2) must have an identical "electrical length" so that the phases ⁇ d in 2 and 17 are also identical.
the distribution of the impedances at the points marked 20 and 22 is such that the amplitude and the phase of the radio-electric field produced in a direction of space by the element in vertical polarization A4 (direction parallel to this element ) and the amplitude and phase of the field produced at 17 by the horizontally polarized elements A1 to A3 are identical.
the transformer 21 makes it possible to obtain the aforementioned results and the transformer 23 makes it possible to reduce the impedance of the antenna according to the invention to 50 ohms.
a prototype antenna according to the invention was produced by the applicant, using half-wave dipoles in a frequency band between 2.3 and 2.6 GHz.
the gain measured with respect to the circular isotrope is equal to 4 dB in the aforementioned frequency band and the ellipticity rate at 90 ° from the longitudinal axis, less than 1 dB.
the ROS (standing wave ratio) in the above band is less than 1.6 compared to 50 ohms.
the azimuth coverage is omnidirectional to ⁇ 0.5 dB and the site coverage varies in the 2.3-2.6 GHz band from 60 to 70 ° opening at 1/2 power. In this case also, the maximum of energy is directed on the horizon.
the radiating element in vertical polarization A4 10 is calculated as a conventional half-wave cuff dipole.
the dimensions Il and 1 2 are a function of the ratio I / a (length over diameter) knowing that Il + 1 2 is always slightly less than o ( ⁇ o: working wavelength).
the diameter of the radiating elements 5, 6; 7, 8 and 9, 10 of the three half-wave antennas A1 to A3 in horizontal polarization also plays on the length of the half-elements rx ⁇ i i see Figure 3) and in this case, we obtain rx ⁇ i slightly less than o .
the diameter 2 4 xr of arrangement of the three radiating half-wave radiating elements with horizontal polarization is equal to 2 o in air and to ox ( ⁇ r ) -1 in a medium of relative permitivity r.
the diameter of the radiating element with vertical polarization is less than # o.
a particularly interesting application of the antenna in accordance with the invention is in the field of all-azimuth ground-to-ground transmissions , ground-air, ground-sea, air-ground, air-sea, air-air, sea-ground, sea-air, sea-sea, in a disturbed surrounding environment.
the use of an antenna in circular polarization for such transmissions which imply a maximum energy under the horizon, makes it possible to considerably limit the discomfort brought by the disturbing environment, since in the event of reflection on a close metallic obstacle, it there is inversion of the polarization of the reflected wave.
each dipole with horizontal polarization (only one is shown in FIG. 10) is supported axially by two vertical balancing elements, with respect to a common base reflector plate 41.
phase centers of the antenna elements with horizontal polarization are located at the points marked 17 while the phase center of the element with vertical polarization is located at point 2.
Another particularly interesting application of the antenna according to the invention is the production of an FM transmitter of reduced power.
