Definitions
- the invention relates to reflector (s) network antennas, embedded on satellites and intended to transmit and / or receive beams of electromagnetic waves.
- reflector array antenna means an antenna composed of a set of sources (or radiating elements), defining a network, and one or more reflectors.
- the aforementioned reflector network antennas are particularly interesting because they make it possible to form and position one or more radiating beams to one or more given covers. This formation of beams is done by amplitude and / or phase control at the source level.
- a first solution is to use a direct radiation active array antenna (or DRA), that is to say without reflector.
- DRA direct radiation active array antenna
- This type of network antenna offers a very good ability to double reconfigurability, but requires a large number of controls that often prohibits its cost and weight.
- the low efficiency of the amplifiers that are associated with each of the controls of the DRA induces a dissipation often crippling.
- a second solution consists in using a source network in the focal plane or in the vicinity of the focal plane of a non-parabolic reflector. consistent (or FAFR).
- FAFR non-parabolic reflector. consistent
- This solution is described in particular in US Pat. No. 4,965,587.
- the source network is sized so that each of its sources contributes to a portion of the total coverage.
- the position of the sources is directly related to the area to be covered. It is determined geometrically by applying the reflection principle on the reflector.
- the amplitude / phase laws of the different controls must be optimized so that the beams delivered by the sources combine by giving a radiation pattern adapted to each area to be covered. If one wishes to cover only one of the zones, initially planned, one uses only the part of the corresponding network.
- the amplitude dynamics applied to the radiating elements is important, which often makes it necessary, on transmission, to use a device for balancing the power between the amplifiers (called MPA).
- each of the sources is directly linked to a part of the coverage, on the one hand, imposes redundancy at the level of the amplifiers to avoid the loss of this zone in the event of partial failure, and secondly, induced a number of sources (and often controls) directly related to the size of the coverage.
- the beam formation architecture is therefore particularly complex, induces additional losses related to the presence of the MPA, and causes fairly high volume and mass.
- a third solution, variant of the second, has been proposed in document US 2004/0222932. It consists in placing an array of sources in the focal plane of a reflector whose reflective surface is shaped so as to widen the area covered by each beam having a "flat" radiation pattern in the main lobe delivered by an elementary source. The principle remains the same as that described above, each source only contributing to part of the coverage. Because of the broadening of the elementary beams introduced by the conformation of the reflector, the number of sources necessary for the sampling of the coverage can thus be reduced, which makes it possible to reduce the number of the controls of the antenna.
- a reflector array antenna comprising i) an array of at least two sources, including a so-called central source, arranged and positioned to emit (or receive) electromagnetic wave beams in selected directions, ii) beam forming means for controlling the amplitude and phase of each of the sources by means of amplitude / phase laws applied to their accesses and to provide an appropriate amplification level, so that each source emits a chosen radiation pattern (constituting a beam and comprising a main lobe) intended to cover a chosen zone, and iii) one or more reflectors responsible for reflecting the beams delivered by the sources (or towards these sources).
- This reflector array antenna (s) is characterized by the fact that:
- the surface of at least one of its reflectors is three-dimensionally (3D) shaped so as to reflect the beam that is delivered by each source by spreading its energy so that it covers the chosen associated zone, that the main lobe of the radiation pattern associated with the central source defines a so-called primary coverage completely encompassing each active coverage area of the antenna, of selected shape and size, and that the main lobe of the radiation pattern associated with each non-central source covers at least partially the primary coverage, and
- its beam-forming means are responsible for applying to the accesses of the source network a law of amplitude and / or phase chosen so that the combination of the beams delivered by the sources of the network defines each of the active coverage areas of the network. the antenna.
- the array antenna with reflector (s) according to the invention may comprise other characteristics that can be taken separately or in combination, and in particular:
- its sources may be positioned either in the focal plane of the reflector or outside thereof, in any way in front of the reflector; its sources may consist of a radiating element of any type (for example circular or rectangular horn, printed element (or "patch”), slot, or propeller) operating in transmission and / or reception and in n any polarization;
- a radiating element of any type for example circular or rectangular horn, printed element (or "patch"), slot, or propeller
- the surface of one of its reflectors preferably has a general shape of paraboloidal type shaped in a three-dimensional manner
- At least one of its reflectors may comprise a pointing mechanism responsible for modifying the position of the main lobe associated with the central source of the network.
- FIG. 1 very schematically and functionally illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a grating array antenna according to the invention
- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates the principle of formation of active coverage areas by means of a reflector network antenna (s) according to the inventor.
- FIG. 1 a network antenna with reflector (s) AR according to the invention.
- the invention is not limited to this application.
- the reflector array antenna (s) according to the invention can operate in transmission, or in reception, or in transmission and reception, and / or may comprise several reflectors, and / or may comprise a network composed of any number of sources, and / or may offer more than two active coverage areas.
- Such an antenna is primarily intended to be embedded on a satellite of telecommunication.
- An antenna (reflector array (s)) AR firstly comprises a network RS consisting of at least two sources Si arranged and positioned to deliver electromagnetic wave beams Fi (including signals). in selected directions.
- the number N of sources Si of the network RS, the positioning of the sources If compared to each other, the type of the sources Si and the respective orientations of the sources Si are chosen according to the mission which is attributed to the antenna AR.
- one (here S1) is called central, for example because it is placed substantially in the middle of the network RS.
- Each source Si of the network RS may consist of a radiating element of any type, and for example a circular or rectangular horn, a "patch” (printed element), a "slot", or a propeller, which can operate in transmission and / or reception and in any polarization.
- the antenna AR also comprises an MFF beam forming module responsible for applying amplitude and / or phase laws and for amplifying the signals of each of the N sources Si of the network RS, so that each source If emits a selected radiation pattern (constituting a beam Fi and comprising a main lobe) for covering a selected area Zi.
- MFF beam forming module responsible for applying amplitude and / or phase laws and for amplifying the signals of each of the N sources Si of the network RS, so that each source If emits a selected radiation pattern (constituting a beam Fi and comprising a main lobe) for covering a selected area Zi. Any amplification / phase law application and amplification techniques known to man can be implemented for this purpose.
- the AR antenna also includes an RC reflector with a three-dimensional (3D) shaped SU surface.
- This 3D conformation which is in the form of depressions and bumps placed in selected locations of the SU surface, is intended to reflect the beam Fi which is delivered by each source Si while spreading its energy so, a first part, that it covers the associated zone chosen Zi, of a second part, that the lobe of the radiation pattern associated with the central source S1 defines a so-called primary coverage CP completely encompassing each active coverage area ZCj of the antenna AR, of selected shape and dimensions, and a third part, that the main lobe of the diagram of radiation associated with each non-central source Si (i ⁇ 1), and therefore each zone Zi (i ⁇ 1), at least partially covers the primary coverage CP at a zone of intersection ZICi.
- active coverage area refers to a zone in which the electromagnetic waves transmitted by the antenna AR must be able to be received by means of a suitable receiver.
- the zone Z1 (defined by the main lobe of the radiation pattern from the central source S1 of the network RS) therefore defines a so-called primary coverage CP.
- Each point of this primary coverage CP is therefore located in at least one intersection zone ZICi, and preferably in several intersection zones ZICi.
- each point of the primary coverage CP is covered by the main lobe of the beam F1 of the central source S1 and by one or more main lobes of the beams Fi (i ⁇ 1) associated with other sources Si ( i ⁇ 1) of the RS network.
- the behavior of the antenna inside the CP primary coverage is thus very similar to that of a direct radiation network (DRA).
- DPA direct radiation network
- the active coverage areas ZCj of the antenna AR can be defined by means of the laws and amplifications applied by the MFF beam forming module.
- the AR antenna could be designed to provide more than two active coverage areas ZCj, or just one.
- the conformation of the reflector RC which makes it possible to widen the beams Fi is calculated according to the mission, since it is this which will define the envelope of the primary cover CP which must contain the different zones of active coverage ZCj of the AR antenna.
- the 3D conformation can be determined by means of polynomial functions (for example of the type Spline or Zernike) applied to an initial reflection surface paraboloid type, using appropriate software (eg POS4 type).
- the sources Si are placed either in the focal plane of the reflector RC, or outside this focal plane.
- the reflector RC may comprise a pointing mechanism (not shown in the figures) for modifying the position of the main lobe which is associated with the central source S1 of the network AR.
- the antenna AR according to the invention is particularly well suited, although in a non-limiting way:
- the arrangement of the source network is strongly decorrelated from the coverage of the antenna because it is the 3D conformation of the surface of the reflector that defines the primary coverage CP inside which can be defined any number of spots (or areas of active coverage ZCj) of any shape. This considerably limits the size of the network and the number of sources and therefore significantly reduces the weight and complexity of the controls compared to a conventional parabolic reflector solution or a DRA solution.
- reducing the size of the source array reduces defocus aberrations, naturally inducing lower lobe levels (and therefore better C / I ratios) compared to those obtained with a conventional parabolic reflector solution.
- the use of small ratios between the focal length of the reflector system and the diameter of the main reflector is then facilitated (especially at the implantation on a satellite).
- the invention thus combines the advantages of a DRA (direct radiation network) type antenna, namely a strong reconfigurability and a natural redundancy, and the advantages of a FAFR type antenna, ie a high directivity obtained thanks to the conformal surface of the reflector, while avoiding the disadvantages of these two types of antennas, namely the very large number of controls which contributes significantly to the weight and the cost, the loss of efficiency related to the lobes of networks in the case of a DRA antenna, the loss of coverage in the event of faults and the size of the source network depending on the coverage envisaged in the case of a FAFR antenna.
- DRA direct radiation network
