Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of spaceborne communication technology, specifically to a design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector and its satellite reflector antenna. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of satellite communications, spectrum resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and orbital positions are becoming increasingly congested. Against this backdrop, reducing antenna sidelobes has become a key indicator for minimizing interference with neighboring satellites and improving communication quality. At the same time, improving aperture efficiency is also crucial, meaning that higher signal gain can be achieved while keeping antenna size and transmit power constant. This is of paramount importance for satellite platforms that are highly sensitive to cost and weight.

[0003] In related technologies, axisymmetric reflector design methods are relatively mature for reflector antenna design. However, when it comes to elliptical aperture / elliptical beam reflector antennas, the available solutions are relatively limited. For elliptical aperture reflector designs, most current methods employ axisymmetric annular focal reflectors or cutting the Cassegrain primary reflector. However, these design methods suffer from severe leakage, resulting in low overall efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing antenna sidelobe performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector and its satellite reflector antenna, which can improve overall efficiency and reduce sidelobes.

[0005] The technical solution of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector, applied to a satellite reflector antenna, the method comprising:

[0007] Obtain the preset operating parameters of the reflector antenna, including the feed angle, edge illumination level, preset main reflector aperture size, and preset sub-reflector aperture size;

[0008] Based on the feed angle, the edge illumination level, the aperture size of the main reflector and the aperture size of the sub-reflector, the primary original curve and the secondary original curve are calculated according to the preset Cassegrain form.

[0009] Based on the feed angle and the edge illumination level, the primary original curve and the secondary original curve are shaped using a preset primary aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function to obtain the primary reflecting surface corresponding to the primary original curve and the secondary reflecting surface corresponding to the secondary original curve, wherein the primary aperture distribution function is a polynomial function;

[0010] A simulation model is constructed using the main reflector, the sub-reflector, the feed angle, the edge illumination level, and a preset support structure for connecting the main reflector and the sub-reflector. The simulation model is then simulated to obtain the simulated antenna performance.

[0011] If the antenna performance does not meet the preset specifications, at least one of the parameters of the main aperture distribution function and the parameters of the transition function, and / or the structural parameters of the support structure are adjusted for optimization. The steps of shaping the main original curve and the sub-original curve using the preset main aperture distribution function, the preset feed distribution function and the preset transition function to obtain the main reflector corresponding to the main original curve and the sub-reflector corresponding to the sub-original curve are performed until the antenna performance meets the preset specifications.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preset operating parameters of the reflector antenna are obtained. These parameters include the feed angle, edge illumination level, preset main reflector aperture size, and preset sub-reflector aperture size. Obtaining these parameters provides a precise basis for subsequent antenna design. Based on the feed angle, edge illumination level, main reflector aperture size, and sub-reflector aperture size, the primary and secondary original curves are calculated according to a preset Cassegrain form. The physical and electromagnetic characteristic parameters are transformed into specific geometric curves using the Cassegrain form, providing a basic geometric shape for subsequent antenna reflector shaping. Based on the feed angle and edge illumination level, the primary and secondary original curves are shaped using a preset main aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function to obtain the primary reflector corresponding to the primary original curve and the sub-reflector corresponding to the sub-reflector corresponding to the sub-reflector. The primary aperture distribution function is a polynomial function. Through the synthesis of the above multiple functions... This collaborative approach yields high-performance primary and secondary reflectors, improving the overall antenna performance. A simulation model is constructed using the primary and secondary reflectors, feed angle, edge illumination level, and a pre-defined support structure connecting them. Simulation of this model yields simulated antenna performance, allowing for rapid acquisition of various performance indicators that directly reflect the antenna design's quality, providing clear direction and basis for subsequent optimization. If the antenna performance does not meet the pre-defined specifications, optimization is achieved by adjusting at least one parameter of the primary aperture distribution function, the transition function, and / or the structural parameters of the support structure. This involves shaping the primary and secondary original curves using the pre-defined primary aperture distribution function, feed distribution function, and transition function to obtain the primary reflector corresponding to the primary curve and the secondary reflector corresponding to the secondary curve, continuing until the antenna performance meets the pre-defined specifications. Through continuous iteration, the antenna design gradually approaches the pre-defined specifications, ensuring the final reflector antenna exhibits excellent performance, improving overall performance and reducing sidelobes.

[0013] In summary, the Cassegrain form is used to transform the physical and electromagnetic parameters in the operating parameters into specific geometric curves. Various functional forms, such as the feed distribution function, principal aperture distribution function, and transition function, are employed for shaping to improve the overall antenna performance. The shaped data is then simulated to quickly calculate performance indicators. Based on these indicators, the various functional forms are adjusted. Through multiple iterations, an antenna design that meets the specifications can be obtained, ensuring that the final reflector antenna has excellent performance, improving overall performance and reducing sidelobes.

[0014] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a satellite reflector antenna, which includes a main reflector, a sub-reflector, a support structure, and a feed source.

[0015] The support structure connects the main reflector and the sub-reflector, or the support structure connects the sub-reflector and the feed source;

[0016] The primary reflector, the secondary reflector, and the support structure are constructed by performing any one of the methods provided in the first aspect.

[0017] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device including a processor, a memory, a user interface, a communication bus, and a network interface. The processor, the memory, the user interface, and the network interface are respectively connected to the communication bus. The memory is used to store instructions. The user interface and the network interface are used to communicate with other devices. The processor is used to execute the instructions stored in the memory to cause the electronic device to perform the method described in any one of the first aspects.

[0018] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, perform the method described in any one of the methods provided in the first aspect above.

[0019] In summary, one or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0020] 1. By employing the Cassegrain form to transform the physical and electromagnetic parameters in the operating parameters into specific geometric curves, and using various function forms such as the feed distribution function, principal aperture distribution function, and transition function for shaping, the overall performance of the antenna can be improved. The shaped data is then simulated to quickly calculate performance indicators, and the aforementioned function forms can be adjusted based on these indicators. Through multiple iterations, an antenna design that meets the specifications can be obtained, ensuring that the final reflector antenna has excellent performance, improving overall performance and reducing sidelobes. Therefore, this effectively solves the problem in related technologies where the design process of elliptical beam reflector antennas results in a long-axis sidelob design of only -14dB and a short-axis sidelob design of only -12dB, indicating a high sidelob ratio that limits the application range and results in low overall performance.

[0021] 2. By judging the shape of the three-dimensional structure of the main surface, if it exceeds the preset reflective surface size, the parameters of the transition function are adjusted so that the generated main reflective surface can meet the antenna outline size requirements.

[0022] 3. Using antenna gain and sidelobe performance as parameters, the parameters of different functions are adjusted to optimize performance under various conditions where the preset performance is not met. Through multiple iterations, the overall performance is improved and the sidelobe is reduced.

[0023] 4. By combining multiple distribution functions with the support structure, adjusting the shape of the support structure according to changes in indicators, and combining these adjustments with the aforementioned multiple distribution functions, the sidelobes of the elliptical aperture reflector antenna achieve -15dB, and the aperture efficiency reaches 60%. Compared to existing technologies where the short-axis sidelobes are -12dB and the long-axis sidelobes are -14dB, achieving -15dB for both the long-axis and short-axis sidelobes represents a significant improvement for satellite reflector antennas, signifying a performance leap.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0037] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the words "for example" or "for instance" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design that is described as "for example" or "for instance" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design options. Rather, the use of the words "for example" or "for instance" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0038] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" means two or more. For example, multiple systems means two or more systems, and multiple screen terminals means two or more screen terminals. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0039] In related technologies, the support structure has a significant degrading effect on the antenna radiation pattern (causing scattering and obstruction). Traditional designs often optimize the ideal reflector first and then add the support structure to mitigate performance losses, without adjusting the support structure itself, thus failing to achieve a synergistic improvement in overall performance and reduction of sidelobes.

[0040] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector and its satellite reflector antenna, electronic equipment, and readable storage medium. The design method first obtains preset operating parameters for the reflector antenna, including the feed angle, edge illumination level, preset main reflector aperture size, and preset sub-reflector aperture size. Obtaining these parameters provides a precise basis for subsequent antenna design. Based on the feed angle, edge illumination level, main reflector aperture size, and sub-reflector aperture size, the primary and secondary original curves are calculated according to a preset Cassegrain form. The physical and electromagnetic characteristic parameters are transformed into specific geometric curves using the Cassegrain form, providing a basic geometric shape for subsequent antenna reflector shaping. Based on the feed angle and edge illumination level, the primary and secondary original curves are shaped using a preset main aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function to obtain the primary reflector corresponding to the primary original curve and the secondary reflector corresponding to the secondary original curve. The antenna design involves several steps. First, the main reflector aperture distribution function is a polynomial function. Through the combined effect of these multiple functions, high-performance main and sub-reflectors can be obtained, improving the overall antenna performance. A simulation model is constructed using the main reflector, sub-reflector, feed angle, edge illumination level, and a pre-defined support structure connecting the main and sub-reflectors. Simulation of this model yields the simulated antenna performance. This simulation allows for the rapid acquisition of various antenna performance indicators, which directly reflect the quality of the antenna design, providing clear direction and basis for subsequent optimization. If the antenna performance does not meet the pre-defined specifications, at least one parameter of the main reflector aperture distribution function, the transition function, and / or the structural parameters of the support structure is adjusted for optimization. This involves shaping the original main and sub-reflector curves using the pre-defined main reflector aperture distribution function, feed angle, and transition function to obtain the main reflector curve corresponding to the original main reflector curve and the sub-reflector curve corresponding to the original sub-reflector curve. This process continues until the antenna performance meets the pre-defined specifications. Through continuous iteration, the antenna design can be gradually approached to meet the preset specifications, ensuring that the final reflector antenna has excellent performance, which can improve the overall performance and reduce sidelobes.

[0041] It should be noted that this design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector is used in spaceborne communication systems, specifically for Q / V / E high-frequency antennas on satellites. These antennas require precise signal coverage of ground areas with a specific elliptical beam. The aforementioned design method can reduce sidelobes to -15dB, representing a significant leap forward in spaceborne communication.

[0042] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1This paper presents a simulated overall model of a satellite reflector antenna. The satellite's reflector antenna is an elliptical beam reflector antenna, comprising a feed, a main reflector, a sub-reflector, and a support structure. The support structure can be mounted on either the feed or the main reflector, connecting the main and sub-reflectors. The support structure has a teardrop-like shape, which can be modified by tightening or loosening the support structure near the feed end, thereby reducing sidelobe reflections at the main reflector. The specific process is as follows: the feed emits a beam, which is reflected by the sub-reflector to the main reflector. By adjusting the parameters of various distribution functions, the beam reflected from the sub-reflector to the main reflector is distributed across the entire aperture, ensuring an aperture efficiency of 60%. Combined with the support structure, the beam is then reflected by the main reflector to the beam coverage area. This improves overall efficiency and ensures that the sidelobe of the elliptical aperture reflector antenna reaches -15dB. The main reflector, sub-reflector, and support structure are constructed using the design method for spaceborne elliptical beam reflectors described below.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector provided in this application embodiment. The design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector is applied to a satellite reflector antenna. The design method is executed by a processor in an electronic device or a readable storage medium, and includes steps S100, S200, S300, S400, and S500.

[0045] Step S100: Obtain the preset operating parameters of the reflector antenna, including the feed illumination angle, edge illumination level, preset main reflector aperture size, and preset sub-reflector aperture size.

[0046] In one embodiment, the operating parameters include the feed angle, the edge illumination level, the preset primary reflector aperture size, and the preset secondary reflector aperture size.

[0047] The feed angle refers to the angular range from which the beam of the "feed," acting as the energy source in the antenna system, covers the edge of the sub-reflector, determining the relative geometric layout of the feed and the sub-reflector. If the angle is too large, energy will overflow from the sub-reflector, causing loss (overflow loss); if it is too small, the sub-reflector will not be fully utilized, leading to reduced efficiency. In this embodiment, the feed angle is set to 45° to improve efficiency.

[0048] Edge illumination level refers to the ratio of the field strength (or power) of the electromagnetic wave radiated from the feed at the edge of the subreflector to the field strength (or power) at the center of the subreflector. It is usually expressed in decibels (dB) and is a negative value. A lower edge illumination level (e.g., -20dB, very dark edges) is beneficial for reducing antenna sidelobes, but it will sacrifice some aperture efficiency; a higher edge illumination level (e.g., -8dB, very bright edges) is more efficient, but the sidelobes will be correspondingly increased. In this embodiment, the edge illumination level is set to -10dB.

[0049] The main reflector aperture size is determined by the space constraints of the satellite fairing or the ground mounting platform. The sub-reflector aperture size is determined by the distance from the feed to the sub-reflector surface and the overall structural compactness. In this embodiment, the main reflector aperture size is set to 500mm*315mm, the major axis size of the main surface is 500mm, the minor axis size is 315mm, and the sub-reflector aperture size is selected as 56mm, etc.

[0050] The operating parameters also include the operating frequency, which is set to 41GHz~64GHz. The feed is designed using the feed angle, edge illumination level, and operating frequency as input conditions. By setting these parameters, the preset operating parameters of the reflector antenna are obtained through preset data readout functions, thus defining the initial boundary conditions and providing prerequisites for subsequent calculations and optimization functions. The preset data readout functions include the `read()` and `open()` functions.

[0051] Step S200: Based on the feed angle, edge illumination level, main reflector aperture size, and sub-reflector aperture size, calculate the main original curve and sub-original curve according to the preset Cassegrain form.

[0052] In one embodiment, the Cassegrain form consists of a parabolic primary reflector and a hyperboloid secondary reflector. Based on the aperture sizes of the primary and secondary reflectors, and the desired antenna focal length ratio (F / D), the focal length F of the equivalent parabola and the positions of the two foci of the hyperboloid (one coinciding with the parabola's focus, and the other at the feed phase center) are calculated. Then, using the standard quadratic equation in analytical geometry, a set of two-dimensional cross-sectional coordinates for the primary primitive curve (parabola) and the secondary primitive curve (hyperbola) is generated. The resulting combination of primitive curves, under the geometrical optics approximation, can convert a spherical wave emitted from one focus of the hyperboloid (at the feed) into a plane wave parallel to the antenna axis after two reflections.

[0053] The parameters in step S100 are set as follows: feed illumination angle is 45°, edge illumination level is -10dB, operating frequency is 41GHz~64GHz, and main reflector aperture size is 500mm*315mm. These parameters are then substituted into the Cassegrain form to calculate the main original curve and the secondary original curve, providing a basis for subsequent shaping.

[0054] according to Figure 3 As shown, the primary and secondary original curves for constructing the Cassegrain form are displayed. It can be seen that the beam emitted by the elliptical beam reflector antenna through the feed can cover both the secondary and primary reflectors.

[0055] Step S300: Based on the feed angle and edge illumination level, the main original curve and the secondary original curve are shaped using a preset main aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function to obtain the main reflecting surface corresponding to the main original curve and the secondary reflecting surface corresponding to the secondary original curve. The main aperture distribution function is a polynomial function.

[0056] In one embodiment, the direction of the feed illumination angle is set to the central direction at (0,0) so that the transmitted beam can be reflected uniformly. Then, the primary and secondary original curves are shaped using a preset primary aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function to obtain the primary and secondary reflectors. The above shaping process breaks the inherent aperture field distribution (usually strong in the center and weak at the edges) in classical Cassegrain antennas. By perturbating and correcting the shape of the primary and secondary reflectors (i.e., "shaping"), energy is actively redistributed to achieve advanced performance goals such as "low sidelobes," "high efficiency," or "specific coverage area."

[0057] Specifically, the primary and secondary original curves are shaped using a preset primary aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function to obtain the primary reflecting surface corresponding to the primary original curve and the secondary reflecting surface corresponding to the secondary original curve, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0058] Step S310: Normalize the feed illumination angle using the feed distribution function to obtain the normalized electric field strength.

[0059] In some possible embodiments of this application, the feed distribution function is expressed as: f(θ)=exp(-p*(θ / θ) m ) 2 );

[0060] Where f(θ) is the normalized electric field strength, θ is the feed angle, and θ m p is the preset illumination angle, which adjusts the beam shape parameters.

[0061] Specifically, the above describes the normalization process for the Gaussian model. θ represents the angle and direction, measuring the degree to which a given direction deviates from the feed's central axis. When θ = 0°, it represents the direction directly in front of the feed, the "axis direction" where energy is most concentrated. When θ > 0°, it represents a direction deviating from the center. The larger θ is, the farther the direction deviates from the center. m The preset illumination angle is the reference angle defining the Gaussian beamwidth. The maximum angle of illumination from the feed is set to 45°, serving as a normalization factor for the feed illumination angle. p is the taper factor or shaping parameter; a larger p results in a sharp decrease in the function, forming a narrower, more concentrated beam, while a smaller p exponent results in a slower decrease in the function, forming a wider, more diffuse beam. The value of parameter P is determined by the feed illumination angle and the edge illumination level. When the feed edge illumination level is -10dB, θ... m When the angle is 45°, the value of P is calculated to be 1.0362 according to the formula.

[0062] Set the edge illumination level to -10dB, p to 1.0362, and θ to... m The angle is set to 45°. By substituting the feed distribution function into the feed illumination angle, the corresponding electric field intensity in different deviations from the center can be obtained, thus yielding the normalized electric field intensity, which is beneficial for subsequent shaping.

[0063] It should be noted that the feed distribution function can also be a cosine distribution function, specifically expressed as: f(θ) = cos p(θ) Where f(θ) is the normalized electric field strength, θ is the feed illumination angle, and p is the beamforming parameter. Similar to the above formula, the value of parameter P is related to the edge illumination level of the feed. When the edge illumination level of the feed is -10dB, P is 1.0362. The above normalization process provides the basic data source for subsequent beamforming.

[0064] Step S320: The aperture size of the main reflecting surface is set using the main surface aperture distribution function to obtain the energy distribution at the aperture position.

[0065] In some possible embodiments of this application, the formula for the main aperture distribution function is expressed as: y=a0x 0 +a1x 1 +a2x 2 +...anx n ;

[0066] Where ai is the parameter of the principal aperture distribution function, and x i Let y be the position of the aperture, and y be the electric field amplitude corresponding to the position of the aperture, i = 0, 1, 2, ..., n.

[0067] Specifically, based on the elliptical beam antenna, a two-dimensional coordinate system is established with the center of the elliptical aperture as the origin. u represents the direction of the major axis of the ellipse, and v represents the direction of the minor axis of the ellipse. The coordinates of any point on the aperture can be represented by (u, v). The intensity value of each point on the elliptical aperture is characterized by the principal aperture distribution function, which provides a basis for subsequent shaping.

[0068] It should be noted that the positions can also be normalized to make the above formula independent of the specific antenna size. The specific normalization process is as follows: taking the main reflector aperture size as 500mm*315mm as an example, divide the major axis radius of 500mm by 2 and the minor axis radius of 315mm by 2 to obtain the normalization factor. Divide each position coordinate by the above normalization factor to normalize.

[0069] It should also be noted that the principal aperture distribution function is in polynomial form. This polynomial can be a continuous power-law polynomial or a polynomial containing only even-degree terms. In this embodiment, it is a continuous power-law polynomial. The values ​​of a0, a1, a2, ..., an are represented by the major and minor axes. The minor axis polynomial is [1.02, -13.76, 143.27, -590.27, 1236.75, -1415.5, 845.18, -206.0], and the major axis polynomial parameters are [0.8, -6.18, 81.08, -369.57, 845.35, -1073.7, 720.6, -197.83].

[0070] The principal surface distribution function and feed distribution function are mainly used for reflector surface shaping calculations. The specific calculation formulas are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here. Substituting the original reflector surface curve parameters, feed distribution function, and principal surface aperture distribution function into the shaping formula of the transition function yields the major and minor axis shaped surfaces. The specific calculation process is also existing technology. In this embodiment, the feed distribution function, principal surface aperture distribution function, and transition function are combined, along with the support structure, and subsequent comprehensive adjustments are made to improve overall efficiency and reduce the influence of sidelobes.

[0071] Step S330: Based on the mapping relationship between the normalized electric field strength and the energy distribution at the aperture position, shaping is performed to obtain the shaped principal surface curve and the shaped secondary surface curve. The shaped principal surface curve and the shaped secondary surface curve are then used to construct the principal surface three-dimensional structure and the secondary surface three-dimensional structure using a transition function.

[0072] In some possible embodiments of this application, an energy mapping relationship is constructed between the normalized electric field strength and the energy distribution at the aperture position according to the law of conservation of energy. Based on the above mapping relationship, a differential equation is constructed, and a system of differential equations is solved to calculate the shaped principal surface curve and the shaped secondary surface curve. The shaped principal surface curve and the shaped secondary surface curve include a major axis and a minor axis, so that a three-dimensional surface can be constructed on the shaped major axis and minor axis using a transition function.

[0073] The specific process can be divided into the following steps: According to the law of conservation of energy, the total power emitted from the feed source must be equal to the total power passing through the aperture plane. Then, a differential relationship between θ and the principal aperture r is established, and differential calculations are performed using Leibniz's differential law. Next, the profile of the reflecting surface is iteratively solved using the "equal optical path principle" and "Snell's law" to obtain the shaped curve. Finally, calculations are performed using the shaped curve to obtain a three-dimensional structure composed of discrete points. The aforementioned Leibniz's differential law, "equal optical path principle," and "Snell's law" are existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0074] Finally, a transition function is used to construct the 3D structures of the principal and secondary surfaces after shaping, respectively. Specifically, the major and minor axes of the principal and secondary surfaces are obtained, and the reflection position distributions corresponding to different normalized feed illumination angles are interpolated using the transition function. This allows for the 3D construction of the principal and secondary surfaces, resulting in 3D point cloud data. The 3D structures of the principal and secondary surfaces are then derived from this point cloud data.

[0075] In some possible embodiments of this application, the transition function may be a hyperelliptic transition function, an exponential transition function, a sine-square transition function, or a polynomial transition function. The specific function construction methods are discussed in detail in the prior art. In this embodiment, the transition function is chosen as a sine-square function, and the formula for the sine-square function is: S(ψ) = sin g (ψ);

[0076] Where g is the parameter of the transition function, ψ is the input object of the mapping, and S(ψ) is the output object of the mapping.

[0077] Specifically, the input objects of the mapping are the major and minor axes of the original curve corresponding to the feed illumination angle, and the output objects of the mapping are the energy distribution reflected on the main surface aperture at different feed illumination angles. Point cloud data is obtained by interpolation mapping through the sine square function. These point cloud data constitute the three-dimensional structure of the main and sub-surfaces, so that the light emitted from the feed can be reflected from the constructed three-dimensional structure of the main and sub-surfaces, thereby increasing the antenna gain and reducing the sidelobes.

[0078] The parameter g is adjustable, and by adjusting g, the "intensity" of the mapping relationship can be adjusted, representing the degree of energy contraction or mapping concentration. A larger g value results in a more abrupt transition from the major axis to the minor axis, a smaller reflector profile, and lower antenna gain; conversely, a smaller g value results in a slower transition, a larger reflector profile, and higher antenna gain. Subsequently, based on a comprehensive consideration of antenna gain and sidelobes, parameter g is adjusted to improve overall efficiency and reduce the impact of sidelobes.

[0079] In this embodiment, the value of g is limited by the main surface not exceeding the outer dimensions. The smaller the value of g, the larger the main surface profile, which means a larger size of the reflector and a higher theoretical gain. When g is 1.7, the main reflector profile exceeds the outer dimensions of the reflector. Therefore, g is set to a value greater than 1.7. During the optimization of the reflector antenna gain and sidelobe performance, the value of g needs to be optimized to ensure that both the antenna gain and sidelobe performance meet the requirements.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, when g is 1.7, the profile of the main reflector exceeds the dimensional limit of the reflector. In related technologies, the excess portion is typically cut off, which fails to improve antenna gain. By adjusting the value of g and the transition function to regenerate the three-dimensional structure, the antenna gain and sidelobes are ensured to meet the requirements.

[0081] Step S340: Based on the three-dimensional structure of the secondary surface and the three-dimensional structure of the primary surface, the primary reflecting surface and the secondary reflecting surface are obtained.

[0082] In one embodiment, a primary reflecting surface and a secondary reflecting surface are obtained based on the three-dimensional structure of the secondary surface and the three-dimensional structure of the primary surface, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0083] Step S341: Determine whether the three-dimensional structure of the main surface exceeds the preset outer dimensions of the reflective surface. If it exceeds the outer dimensions of the reflective surface, adjust the parameters of the transition function to generate the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the secondary surface and the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the main surface.

[0084] In some possible embodiments of this application, the preset reflector shape dimensions are set based on the satellite antenna's shape dimensions being smaller than the external carrying space, or determined based on the area of ​​the ground station antenna installation site, transportation conditions, and the size of the radome. First, it is determined whether the main surface three-dimensional structure exceeds the preset reflector shape dimensions. This determination ensures a reflector that meets the requirements. If it exceeds the reflector shape dimensions, it indicates that the main surface three-dimensional structure cannot meet the external rigid requirements. The excess portion may cause the satellite shape to exceed the envelope, affecting satellite stacking efficiency and increasing launch costs. In this case, the parameters of the transition function are adjusted, specifically g, by increasing g to ensure the main reflector contour meets the reflector shape dimension limitations. Then, based on the adjusted value, the transition function is recalculated to generate the adjusted secondary surface three-dimensional structure and the adjusted main surface three-dimensional structure.

[0085] Step S342: If the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the main surface does not exceed the outer dimensions of the reflective surface, the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the secondary surface is used as the secondary reflective surface, and the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the main surface is used as the main reflective surface.

[0086] In some possible embodiments of this application, if the adjusted primary three-dimensional structure does not exceed the outer dimensions of the reflector, it indicates that the generated adjusted secondary three-dimensional structure and the adjusted primary three-dimensional structure satisfy the outer dimensions of the reflector. The adjusted secondary three-dimensional structure is used as the secondary reflector, and the adjusted primary three-dimensional structure is used as the primary reflector, so that subsequent simulation can be performed to obtain the antenna performance of this parameter.

[0087] In other possible embodiments of this application, by adjusting the g-value once and determining whether the three-dimensional structure of the primary surface still exceeds the preset reflective surface dimensions, the adjustment calculation is performed again to generate the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the secondary surface and the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the primary surface. This process is repeated until the adjusted three-dimensional structure of the primary surface does not exceed the reflective surface dimensions, thus obtaining the primary reflective surface and the secondary reflective surface. The primary reflective surface and the secondary reflective surface, as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0088] Step S343: Determine whether the main surface three-dimensional structure exceeds the preset reflector surface dimensions. If it does not exceed the reflector surface dimensions, generate the secondary surface three-dimensional structure and the main surface three-dimensional structure. Use the secondary surface three-dimensional structure as the secondary reflector surface and the main surface three-dimensional structure as the primary reflector surface. This is for subsequent simulation to obtain the antenna performance of this parameter.

[0089] Step S400: Using the main reflector, sub-reflector, feed illumination angle, edge illumination level, and a preset support structure for connecting the main reflector and sub-reflector, a simulation model is constructed, and the simulation model is simulated to obtain the simulated antenna performance.

[0090] In one embodiment, electrical performance simulation is performed using electromagnetic simulation software. The simulation is conducted using the known main reflector, sub-reflector, feed angle, edge illumination level, and a preset support structure for connecting the main reflector and sub-reflector. The corresponding parameters are set according to the steps S100-S300 above, and the simulation model is simulated to obtain the antenna performance corresponding to each set parameter.

[0091] The above simulation records and saves the parameters set in the electromagnetic simulation software and the simulated antenna performance. The simulated antenna performance is then retrieved using a preset data read function to determine if it meets the requirements. The preset data read function is `read()`, but `open()` is also acceptable.

[0092] Step S500: If the antenna performance does not meet the preset specifications, at least one of the parameters of the main aperture distribution function and the parameters of the transition function, and / or the structural parameters of the support structure are adjusted for optimization. The steps of shaping the main original curve and the sub-original curve using the preset main aperture distribution function, the preset feed distribution function and the preset transition function are performed to obtain the main reflector corresponding to the main original curve and the sub-reflector corresponding to the sub-original curve, until the antenna performance meets the preset specifications.

[0093] In one embodiment, antenna performance includes antenna gain and sidelobe index, where antenna gain reflects the overall performance of the reflector antenna and sidelobe index reflects the degree of sidelobe influence of the reflector antenna.

[0094] Specifically, when the antenna performance does not meet the preset specifications, optimization is performed by adjusting at least one of the parameters of the main aperture distribution function, the parameters of the transition function, and / or the structural parameters of the supporting structure, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0095] Step S510: If the antenna gain is less than the preset gain threshold in the preset specifications, adjust the parameters of the transition function for optimization.

[0096] In some possible embodiments of this application, the preset gain threshold is the required gain value of the satellite's reflector antenna. If the antenna gain is less than the preset gain threshold in the preset specifications, it indicates that the electromagnetic simulation software has not met the requirements under the parameters set above. In this case, to increase the gain, the parameters of the transition function are adjusted and optimized by decreasing the value of parameter g, thereby increasing the profile of the main reflector surface and thus increasing the gain. Through the above parameter adjustment and optimization, the gain threshold meets the requirements.

[0097] Step S520: If the sidelobe index is greater than the preset sidelobe threshold in the preset index, adjust the parameters of the transition function and the parameters of the principal aperture distribution function for optimization.

[0098] In some possible embodiments of this application, the preset sidelobe thresholds can be set to -12dB for the short axis and -14dB for the long axis, or both the short and long axes can be set to -15dB. When the sidelobe index exceeds the preset sidelobe threshold, it indicates that the surrounding area may be affected. To reduce the impact of the sidelobes, the parameters of the multiplicity function and the principal aperture distribution function can be optimized, thereby adjusting their settings to reduce the sidelobe effect.

[0099] Step S530: When there is a support structure but the antenna performance does not meet the preset indicators, the structural parameters of the support structure are adjusted for optimization.

[0100] In one embodiment, when the antenna performance does not meet the preset specifications, the structural parameters of the support structure are adjusted for optimization, including but not limited to: the support structure is teardrop-shaped, and when the antenna gain is less than the gain threshold or the sidelobe index is greater than the sidelobe threshold, the width of the teardrop-shaped end near the feed source is adjusted.

[0101] Specifically, the support structure is teardrop-shaped; see [reference needed for details]. Figure 6 The support structure can be configured as either a sub-reflector supporting the main reflector or a sub-reflector supporting the feed. Taking the sub-reflector-to-main-reflector configuration as an example, the support structure should be as narrow as possible near the feed to reduce reflections onto the feed's backscatter pattern, thereby minimizing the support structure's impact on the antenna pattern. If the antenna gain is less than the gain threshold, or the sidelobe index is less than the sidelobe threshold, the width of the teardrop-shaped section near the feed can be adjusted to further reduce its impact on the antenna pattern.

[0102] It should be noted that if either the antenna gain or the sidelobe index fails to meet the conditions, the system will identify which of steps S510 and S520 the failed condition meets and make the corresponding adjustments and optimizations.

[0103] In one embodiment, when the antenna gain and sidelobe performance do not meet the requirements, the main aperture distribution function and transition function are first adjusted to determine if the antenna performance meets the requirements. If not, the support structure is adjusted. Through the above multi-layered adjustments, a gradual adjustment can be made, and the antenna can be quickly adjusted to meet the requirements.

[0104] In one embodiment, through the above adjustments and optimizations, the primary and secondary original curves are shaped using a preset primary aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function to obtain the primary reflector corresponding to the primary original curve and the secondary reflector corresponding to the secondary original curve, until the antenna performance meets the preset specifications. The corresponding parameter settings are recorded and saved to provide data support for the actual antenna construction.

[0105] In one embodiment, when both antenna gain and sidelobe performance meet the requirements, the corresponding parameter settings are recorded and saved to provide data support for the construction of the actual antenna.

[0106] Figures 7(a), 7(b), 8(a) and 8(b) show the simulation diagrams of the electromagnetic simulation software mentioned above. Specifically, the title is far-field directivity, the horizontal axis is angle in degrees, the vertical axis is decibel, the curve is the radiation pattern, the main lobe is the lobe corresponding to 0 degrees, and the side lobes are the small lobes on both sides.

[0107] Figure 7(a) shows the long-axis radiation pattern at an operating frequency of 41.5 GHz, with a main lobe amplitude of 42.2 dB, a main lobe direction of 0 degrees, an angular width of 0.9 degrees, and a side lobe level of -15.5 dB. These data indicate that the antenna has high gain, extremely high directional resolution, and strong anti-interference capabilities, effectively suppressing the effects of sidelobes.

[0108] Figure 7(b) shows the short-axis radiation pattern at an operating frequency of 41.5 GHz. The main lobe amplitude is 42.2 dB; the main lobe direction is 0 degrees; the angular width (3 dB) is 1.4 degrees; and the side lobe level is -16.1 dB. These data indicate that the antenna has high gain, extremely high directional resolution, and strong anti-interference capabilities, effectively suppressing the influence of sidelobes.

[0109] Figure 8(a) shows the long-axis radiation pattern at a working frequency of 62.7 GHz, with a main lobe amplitude of 46.4 dB, a main lobe direction of 0 degrees, an angular width of 0.6 degrees, and a side lobe level of -16.3 dB. These data indicate that the antenna has high gain, extremely high directional resolution, and strong anti-interference capabilities, effectively suppressing the effects of sidelobes.

[0110] Figure 8(b) shows the short-axis radiation pattern at a working frequency of 62.7 GHz, with a main lobe amplitude of 46.4 dB, a main lobe direction of 0 degrees, an angular width of 0.9 degrees, and a side lobe level of -15.6 dB. These data indicate that the antenna has high gain, extremely high directional resolution, and strong anti-interference capabilities, effectively suppressing the effects of sidelobes.

[0111] The above results demonstrate that, at different operating frequencies, the physical and electromagnetic parameters in the operating parameters are transformed into specific geometric curves using the Cassegrain form. Various functional forms, such as the feed distribution function, principal aperture distribution function, and transition function, are used for shaping. The shaped data is then simulated, and adjustments are made to these various functional forms based on performance indicators. Through multiple iterations, an antenna design that meets the specifications can be obtained, ensuring that the final reflector antenna has excellent performance, improving overall performance and reducing sidelobes.

[0112] like Figure 9As shown, this application provides a design device 100 for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector. This device 100 is applied to a satellite reflector antenna. A data acquisition module 110 acquires preset operating parameters of the reflector antenna, including the feed angle, edge illumination level, preset main reflector aperture size, and preset sub-reflector aperture size. A curve generation module 120 calculates the primary and secondary original curves according to a preset Cassegrain form based on the feed angle, edge illumination level, main reflector aperture size, and sub-reflector aperture size. A shaping module 130 shapes the primary and secondary original curves based on the feed angle and edge illumination level, using a preset main surface aperture distribution function, a preset feed distribution function, and a preset transition function, to obtain the primary reflector antenna corresponding to the primary original curve. The primary reflector and the secondary reflector corresponding to the original curve are given, where the aperture distribution function of the primary reflector is a polynomial function. Simulation module 140 constructs a simulation model using the primary reflector, secondary reflector, feed angle, edge illumination level, and a preset support structure connecting the primary and secondary reflectors. The simulation model is then used to obtain the simulated antenna performance. Parameter adjustment module 150 optimizes the antenna performance if it does not meet preset specifications by adjusting at least one parameter of the primary aperture distribution function, the transition function, and / or the structural parameters of the support structure. This process involves shaping the primary and secondary original curves using the preset primary aperture distribution function, the preset feed distribution function, and the preset transition function to obtain the primary reflector corresponding to the primary curve and the secondary reflector corresponding to the secondary original curve, until the antenna performance meets the preset specifications.

[0113] It should be noted that the data acquisition module 110 is connected to the curve generation module 120, the curve generation module 120 is connected to the shaping module 130, the shaping module 130 is connected to the simulation module 140, and the simulation module 140 is connected to the parameter adjustment module 150. The above-mentioned design method for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector is applied to the design device 100 for a spaceborne elliptical beam reflector. The design device 100 uses the Cassegrain form to transform the physical and electromagnetic characteristic parameters in the operating parameters into specific geometric curves, and employs various function forms such as the feed distribution function, the principal aperture distribution function, and the transition function for shaping to improve the overall performance of the antenna. The shaped data is then simulated to quickly calculate performance indicators, and the various function forms are adjusted based on these performance indicators. Through multiple iterations, an antenna design that meets the indicators can be obtained, ensuring that the final reflector antenna has excellent performance, improving overall performance and reducing sidelobes.
