Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of telecommunications satellites comprising passive antennas equipped with reflectors.
  • the invention is particularly intended for applications in very high frequency bands Ka and Q / V but also meets the lower technical requirements of the Ku frequency band.
  • the frequency band designated Ku corresponds to the frequencies between 12 and 18 GHz, ie a wavelength of between 2.5 and 1.6 cm.
  • the frequency band designated Ka corresponds to the frequencies between 26.5 and 40 GHz, ie a wavelength of between 11.3 and 7.5 mm.
  • the frequency band designated Q / V corresponds to frequencies between 33 and 75 GHz, ie a wavelength of between 9.1 and 3.3 mm.
  • the gains requested are less important (of the order of 40 to 50 dB), but the main constraint is on the level of space and the mass to be sent into space. Indeed, it is not possible to oversize the reflectors to improve the gain.
  • One solution is to use the concept of a Gregorian type antenna with two reflectors positioned vis-à-vis and to obtain in a small volume a larger equivalent focal length antenna.
  • a first conventional technology called “thick shell” technology is widespread. This technology is based on a structure called “sandwich”.
  • a reflector developed according to this technology comprises two membranes or skins and a spacer corresponding to a structure maintaining a relative position of the membranes and ensuring the rigidity of the "sandwich” structure thus formed.
  • the membranes are generally made of carbon reinforcement and the spacer is generally of the “honeycomb” or CFRP (Carbon Fiber Renforced Polymer) type.
  • This concept is particularly competitive for reflectors whose diameter is between 1 and 2 m, the assembly of this type of structure is however too complex and therefore too expensive for small diameter reflectors.
  • a 500 mm diameter reflector developed according to the so-called "thick shell” technology weighs 550 g. This technology does not achieve the weight goals set for applications in a space environment.
  • a second technology called "metallic" is used for the development of small diameter reflectors.
  • the reflectors are conventionally made by machining. This technology is economically interesting.
  • the mass of a 500 mm diameter main reflector comprising a Ta 6 V type alloy is about 900 g, more than twice the desired weight objectives for space applications.
  • This product is a reflector comprising a membrane on which is fixed a stiffening network.
  • the stiffening network is a reinforcing grid forming a triangular pattern called "Isogrid" disposed adjacent to the first structure, the stiffening network being fixed to the membrane by gluing.
  • a fourth technology called “monolithic technology with peripheral stiffener” overcomes the problems related to weight.
  • This technology comprises a monolithic membrane on which a peripheral stiffening ring is glued.
  • the stiffening ring is a rib comprising carbon to stiffen the reflector and thus achieve resonance frequency objectives.
  • the cold bonding of the peripheral stiffening ring on the active face of the reflector limits the range of operating temperatures.
  • the document US2007 / 0069970 discloses a parabolic antenna reflector comprising four dials, each dial consisting of a metal mesh.
  • the document FR2944154 discloses the use of a composite material for an antenna reflector, the composite material consisting of carbon fibers embedded in a cured epoxy resin.
  • An object of the invention is to develop a telecommunication antenna reflector compatible with high frequency applications and adapted for a space environment and whose development process requires little manpower.
  • an antenna reflector compatible with high frequency applications between 12 and 75 GHz and adapted for a paraboloidal or ellipsoidal geostationary space environment comprising a reflecting surface for focusing a radiation electromagnetic.
  • the reflector comprises a superposition of at least one layer comprising a fiber composite material, characterized in that at least one layer of fiber composite material comprises angular sectors arranged around a center, each of the angular sectors is defined by a first angle at the center, and is oriented in a median radial direction of the angle at the center, each of the angular sectors comprises the fiber composite material comprising first fibers oriented in a first direction and second fibers oriented in a second direction different from the first direction, the first direction of the first fibers of an angular sector forming a second angle with the radial direction of the angular segment.
  • the angular sectors comprise three concentric zones: a central zone, a peripheral zone and an intermediate zone located between the central zone and the peripheral zone, the intermediate zone forming a rim.
  • the second angle is between 0 and 60 °.
  • the rim formed at the periphery of the active surface acts as a stiffening ring directly integrated in the reflector thus avoiding the disadvantages encountered in the so-called technology "monolithic technology with peripheral stiffener” related to the production of molds and the cold bonding of the crown on the active surface.
  • the reflector thus produced makes it possible to limit the number of hours of labor required.
  • the reflector comprises at least one layer having a central portion centered on the center which facilitates the assembly of the angular sectors and prevents the overlap of the angular segments in the center of the reflector
  • a reflector as described above wherein the angular difference between the second angle of a first angular sector of a first layer and the second angle of a first sector angle of a second successive layer is constant so as to ensure mechanical continuity between consecutive sectors.
  • the angular difference is between 0 ° and 60 °.
  • the stack comprises between 2 and 10 layers, and preferably 6 layers. This value is a compromise between the weight of the reflector and the geometric quality of the reflector.
  • First sectors have an angle at the center ( ⁇ i + X) and second angular sectors have an angle at the center ( ⁇ i -X), the value of X being fixed beforehand.
  • a layer alternately comprises a first angular sector and then a second angular sector.
  • the value of X is between 2 ° and 5 °.
  • the first angular sectors of a layer cover the second angular sectors of the successive layer, so as to ensure a continuity of the mechanical strength between consecutive sectors.
  • the layers have a diameter of between 250 and 700 mm, and preferably 500 mm.
  • the woven composite material comprises a fiber material impregnated with a thermosetting resin allowing the reflector to reach operating temperatures of 165 ° C.
  • the fiber composite material comprises a fiber material impregnated with a thermoplastic resin making it possible to achieve operating temperatures greater than 200 ° C.
  • the fiber material is a fabric.
  • the fiber material is of the NCF (or non-crimp Fabric) type.
  • the figure 1a illustrates a reflector R, comprising a fiber material M of paraboloid form comprising a rim, the diameter of the reflector R being between 250 and 700 mm, and preferably 500 mm.
  • the reflector may be ellipsoid.
  • the concave surface of the layer constitutes the reflective surface of the reflector R and is oriented towards the terrestrial globe.
  • the flange acts as a stiffening ring to stiffen the structure and reach resonance frequencies of 60 Hz at a temperature of 20 ° C.
  • the figure 1b highlights the constituent elements of the reflector R.
  • the reflector R comprises a stack of at least one layer C n .
  • the stack comprises between 2 and 10 layers, the number of layer C n depends on the type of material used.
  • the required mechanical performances can be obtained by considering a superposition of six layers C1-C6.
  • the figure 2 illustrates the different constituent parts of a layer C n .
  • a layer C n comprises a central portion P C and angular sectors (S i ) n , the truncated angular sectors S i being arranged around the central portion P C.
  • the layer may comprise a center (c).
  • the layer C n comprises three concentric zones: a first central zone Zc corresponding to the active surface of the reflector, a second zone Zp peripheral and a third zone Zi intermediate, the second zone Zi intermediate forming a rim.
  • the intermediate zone Zi is of concave shape with a small radius of curvature, typically 5 mm so as to limit the effects of parasitic reflections of the electromagnetic waves towards the source of the antenna. This radius can not be reduced further because of the low capacity of carbon fabrics to follow without breaking small radii.
  • the axis of orientation of the peripheral zone Zp forms an angle y with a vertical axis passing through the centers of the central portions P C layers forming a stiffener directly integrated into the reflector structure to achieve the stiffness objectives set for high frequency telecommunications applications.
  • the figure 3 describes the arrangement and orientation of the fiber material M constituting the angular sectors (S i ) n of a layer C n .
  • the geometric stability of the reflector in hot or cold temperature is obtained in part by the use of a single composite material M for all the constituent elements of the reflector R.
  • the proposed reflector concept is compatible with a use of a material M comprising carbon fibers and a thermoplastic resin making it possible to achieve a use temperature greater than 200 ° C.
  • the angular sectors (S i ) n of a layer C n are oriented in a radial direction d R of the angular sector (S i ) n considered.
  • An angular sector (S i ) n comprises a thermoplastic fiber material M comprising first fibers f1 and second fibers f2.
  • the first fibers f1 are oriented in a first direction (d i1 ) n , i being an index corresponding to the sector considered and n being an index corresponding to the layer considered, the second fibers f2 being oriented in a direction (d i2 ) n , different from the first direction (d i1 ) n .
  • a second angle ( ⁇ i ) n is defined as the angular difference between the first direction (d i1 ) n and the radial direction d R of the angular sector.
  • the second angle ( ⁇ i ) n is between 0 ° and 180 °, in this case the second angle ( ⁇ i ) n is equal to 60 ° for all the angular sectors of the first layer C1.
  • the first fibers f1 of the woven material M are oriented in the direction d radial R of the angular sector (S i ) n considered.
  • the figure 4 represents a stack of six layers C1-C6 and the arrangement of the material M constituting the angular sectors (S i ) n of one layer (C) n to another.
  • a first layer C1 comprises angular sectors (S i ) 1 comprising a woven material M comprising first fibers f1 and second oriented fibers f2 as defined above.
  • the first fibers f1 of a first angular segment (S 1 ) 1 of the first layer (C) 1 are oriented in a first direction (d 11 ) 1 , the first direction (d 11 ) 1 forming an angle ( ⁇ 1 ) 1 with the radial direction d R of the first angular sector.
  • the angle ( ⁇ 1 ) 1 is zero, in other words, the first fibers are oriented in the radial direction d R of the first angular sector (S 1 ) 1 .
  • the first fibers f1 of a first angular sector (S 1 ) 2 of the second layer C 2 are oriented in a first direction (d 11 ) 2 , the first direction (d 11 ) 2 forming a second angle ( ⁇ 1 ) 2 with the first direction (d 11 ) 1 of the first sector (S 1 ) 1 of the first layer C 1 .
  • the second angle ⁇ is equal to 60 °.

  • the angular distance ⁇ is variable from one layer to another.
  • the figure 5a represents the arrangement of the angular sectors (S i ) n as a function of the first angles in the center ( ⁇ i ) n .
