Definitions
- the invention relates to a frequency converter arrangement for parabolic antennas for receiving signals with vertical and horizontal linear polarizations, emitted by two geostationary satellites at close distance from each other, of the type comprising two frequency converter devices intended for reception of the signal from a satellite, each device carrying means for orienting the receiving antenna elements in the plane of the received signal and means for adapting to the different elevations of the two satellites, by adjusting the support of the converter devices
- each low-noise universal converter is produced, with its signal reception elements with vertical or horizontal polarization, in the form of an autonomous unit and the two converters are mounted on the support, orientable so to be able to be placed in the plane of the signals to be received, the support itself being mobile to adapt to the elevation differences of the two satellites
- the arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that the outlet parts of the two converter devices are produced in the form of a single piece while the inlet parts are separated and selectively mounted on the workpiece. monobioc, the arrangement being rotatably mounted about an axis parallel to the two inlet parts 2
- each input part comprises means for converting the linearly polarized signals received into signals with circular polarization and the output part of each device comprises means for converting the circularly polarized signals into signals with 5 linear polarization
- each input part comprises a waveguide element mounted on an output waveguide element secured to the single piece, in axial alignment with and angularly movable relative to it.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a parabolic antenna equipped with a one-piece converter arrangement according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the one-piece arrangement according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the arrangement according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view of the reception waveguide of a converter according to the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view along the line V-V of Figure 3
- FIG. 1 shows a parabolic antenna 1 equipped with a low noise source arrangement 2 according to the present invention
- This arrangement is designed to allow the reception of signals with linear, horizontal or 3 vertical, transmitted by two geostationary satellites from a relatively short distance from each other
- Each satellite can transmit on two frequency bands, a low band ranging from 10.7 GHz to 11.7 GHz and a high band going from 1 1, 7 GHz to 12.75 GHz
- the converter arrangement converts the total band from 1 1, 7 to 12.75 GHz in a band from 0.950 to 2, 150 GHz
- the signals thus converted are transmitted to a receiver 3
- the latter can therefore receive signals transmitted by satellite A1 (not shown), with linear horizontal or vertical polarization, situated either in the low band or in the high band and signals from the second satellite A2 (not shown).
- the arrangement comprises two low noise converters 5 and 6, commonly called in the LNB technique (Low Black Block) each comprising a waveguide 7 and 8 respectively.
- waves 7 and 8 comprises an input waveguide element 9 forming a source and an output waveguide element 10
- the elements 10 are fixedly mounted on a support housing 12 which houses the electronic device mounted on a plate printed circuit 13 It is the output 14 of this plate which is connected by a coaxial cable 15 to the receiver 3
- Each input waveguide element 9 is axially aligned with the output element 10 and is angularly mounted thereon.
- the element 10 carries at its front end a flange 17 and the end rear of element 9 is provided with a flange 1 8
- the two elements are assembled by connecting the two flanges 17, 18 using screws 19
- the screw opening 19 is made in the flange 18 in the form of an arcuate oblong hole 20
- Each input waveguide element 9 is provided with means for converting signals with linear vertical or horizontal polarization into circular polarization signals in either direction of rotation.
- These converting means are formed by a Teflon strip 22 which extends inside the element 9 in the longitudinal direction thereof
- the blade 22 is fixed diagonally in the element 9 by engaging by its longitudinal edges in grooves 23 in the internal face of the element 9
- the ends of the Teflon blade 22 are configured in dovetail
- the two output waveguide elements 10 also house a Teflon blade indicated at 25 which has substantially the same shape as the blade 22 and is mounted in the same way but angularly offset by 90 °
- This blade 25 constitutes a means for converting signals with circular polarization produced by the wave element 9 into signals with linear linear polarization wedge or horizontal
- At the rear end of the output waveguide element 1 0 are provided, as can be seen more clearly in FIG.
- two antenna elements 27, 28 produced in the form of points projecting radially towards the inside of the internal face of the element 10, while being angularly offset by 90 °
- the element 27 extends horizontally and is used for receiving signals with horizontal polarization while the element 28 is oriented vertically to reception of vertically polarized signals
- each converter device 5, 6 are connected via an amplifier 30 to an input of a polarization switch 32 whose output is connected via an amplifier 33 to one of the two inputs of a position switch 35
- An amplifier 36 connects the output of the latter to the input of a divider 37 which has a first output circuit comprising a mixer 38 with which is associated a local oscillator 39 and an amplifier 40 and a second output circuit which includes a mixer 41 - local oscillator 42 TRACK of an amplifier 43
- Each output circuit is connected to one of the two inputs of a frequency band switch 44 whose output is connected to the output terminal 14 of the arrangement which, on the other hand, is connected by the coaxial cable 15 to the receiver 3
- the signal plane of the satellite A1 or A2 coincides with the orientation of the antenna elements 27, 28 of the converter 5 or 6
- the adjustment is made by rotation according to the appropriate angle of the element input waveguide 9 of each converter
- the angular position of the support box 12 is also adjusted according to the different elevations of the two antennas, by rotation of the arrangement around an axis parallel to the input parts 9
- each program is identified by the satellite A1 or A2 which transmits it, by the type of polarization which is vertical or horizontal. and by the low or high frequency band that the program occupies
- the receiver 3 switches the polarization switch 32 of the appropriate converter to the type of polarization of the program signals. This switching is effected by sending the appropriate polarization selection signal SP, namely d '' a continuous signal of 12 volts if the polarization is vertical or of a signal of 18 volts if the polarization is horizontal Then, after a predetermined delay the receiver selects the satellite A1, A2 This selection is made by sending or not sending of a certain number of successive bursts of oscillations, constituting the signal 6
- the arrangement of the universal converter block according to the invention is particularly suitable for the reception of satellite distant from each other by 6 degrees.
- the arrangement can be used with antennas with a diameter of 80 cm and an F / D ratio of 0.6
- the source arrangement is mounted on the antenna arm to allow adjustment of the relative elevation of a converter relative to to the other of +/- 4 degrees
