Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of antennas, and more particularly to a beam equalized spaceborne wide-beam circularly polarized antenna and a satellite. BACKGROUND

[0002] Satellite communication technology has rapidly developed since the 1960s and has become an important part of military and civilian communication. Spaceborne antennas, especially circularly polarized antennas, as key components, can effectively cope with satellite attitude changes, atmospheric influences and multipath interference, and have stronger adaptability and anti-interference ability compared with traditional linearly polarized antennas. With the progress of satellite communication technology, circularly polarized antennas have become the core technology for realizing efficient and stable communication in high-speed mobile and complex environments.

[0003] The antenna system of satellite TT&C is one of the core components of satellite communication and TT&C system, responsible for information transmission, state monitoring, data reception and command sending with the satellite. In satellite missions, the demand for antennas is crucial to ensure the stability of communication links. Traditional horn antennas are designed with narrow beams, which can improve radiation gain but require high antenna alignment accuracy. Attitude deviation may cause signal loss. Satellite attitude changes and orbit adjustments make antenna wide-beam and beam equalization design inevitable. In addition, the gain of traditional horn antennas decreases rapidly with the change of azimuth angle, resulting in unstable signal transmission in satellite communication in high dynamic scenarios.

[0004] The Chinese patent with the publication number CN112615162A provides a co-caliber three-frequency multi-mode horn antenna, which has a half-power beam width of only 49.6°, 21.1° and 11.0° in the L-band, S-band and C-band, respectively. The Chinese patent with the publication number CN117728187A discloses a wideband corrugated horn antenna, which has a beam equalization feature, but its half-power beam width is only 17°, and the antenna gain decreases significantly with the change of the azimuth angle. The Chinese patent with the publication number CN108232460A provides a small-caliber conical horn antenna with beam equalization, but its antenna beam is narrow, with a half-power beam width of only 40°. The patent with the application number 202422848923.4 provides a wideband wide-beam horn antenna, which combines a cuboid antenna main body, an internal horn-shaped waveguide and a waveguide side extending beam widening structure, and a feed probe and a polarizer, and the polarizer is vertically connected on the bottom surface of the antenna main body between the two feed probes, and the waveguide side is provided with an outwardly extending beam widening structure to realize a wide beam. However, the proposed antenna does not consider the interference of the installation environment on the wide-beam pattern. The patent with the publication number CN113193342A provides a dual-circularly polarized wideband wide-beam antenna, which uses a circular waveguide, a partition phase shifter, a metal ring group and a hollow slot group in the circularly polarized antenna to form directional radiation and introduce magnetic flow, thereby solving the problem of difficulty in realizing a wide half-power and wide axial ratio beam in a wide frequency band in the prior art.

[0005] Therefore, it is a key problem to be solved in the current satellite TT&C antenna technology to realize wide beam and beam equalization characteristics of the antenna and reduce the loss of gain change with the azimuth angle, especially for high-speed satellites, low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites and applications in dynamic environments.

Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0044] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

The feed port 4 is connected to the partition type circular polarizer 3 from the side. The outer ring of the conical horn body 1 is provided with an umbrella-shaped metal radiation director 102, and the inner ring is provided with a metal conical horn body 103. The umbrella-shaped metal radiation director 102 and the metal conical horn body 103 are connected at the top. The metal conical horn body 103 is a hollow structure, and the inside of the metal conical horn body 103 is filled with a conical dielectric 101. The partition type circular polarizer 3 comprises a cylindrical waveguide 302, and a partition circular polarizer is arranged in the cylindrical waveguide 302. The partition circular polarizer is a multi-stage gradient stepped metal partition, and the partition circular polarizer is connected with the inner wall of the cylindrical waveguide 302. The umbrella-shaped metal radiation director 102 further widens the beam and realizes beam equalization. As an external waveguide / radiation structure, it can effectively control the diffusion angle of electromagnetic waves, especially compensating for the natural convergence of the horn's own beam at the high frequency end, so that the beam width is more uniform in the entire working frequency band. The conical dielectric 101 filled in the metal horn significantly reduces the physical size of the antenna, can optimize the impedance transformation in the horn, and improve the impedance matching of the antenna in the entire wide frequency band. The insertion of the metal partition in the circular waveguide will destroy the circular symmetry of the waveguide. The multi-stage gradient stepped partition constitutes a wideband impedance transformation and phase shift structure, which can decompose the input linearly polarized wave into two orthogonal modes with equal amplitude and 90-degree phase difference, so as to synthesize circularly polarized wave at the output end of the waveguide. The multi-stage gradient stepped partition helps to obtain good axial ratio in a wide frequency band.

[0046] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the outer ring of the conical horn body 1 is provided with an umbrella-shaped metal radiation director 102, and the inner ring is provided with a metal conical horn body 103. The inside of the metal conical horn body 103 is filled with a conical dielectric 101. The umbrella-shaped metal radiation director 102 and the metal conical horn body 103 are connected at the top. The bottom of the metal conical horn body 103 is provided with a horn body metal fixed base 104. The horn body metal fixed base 104 is flange-shaped, and the horn body metal fixed base 104 is connected to the upper end of the partition type circular polarizer 3 through a screw 2. The bottom surface diameter of the conical dielectric 101 is greater than the inner ring diameter of the horn body metal fixed base 104. The conical dielectric 101 is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene, with a dielectric constant value of 2.1 and a loss tangent value of 0.001. It can also be made of polyimide.

[0047] By designing the conical horn body 1 as a conical structure with an umbrella-shaped metal radiation director 102, the asymmetry of the traditional horn antenna pattern is effectively solved through multi-mode excitation of the partition type circular polarizer 3, and the beam equalization characteristic is realized.

The circular polarizer lower base 303 is used for connecting the antenna body and the insulating base 5. A plurality of bolt holes are provided on the circular polarizer lower base 303 and the insulating base, which facilitates the overall installation of the antenna on the satellite platform or test fixture. The plurality of bolt holes can be uniformly and firmly installed to prevent deformation or loosening caused by single-point fixation.

[0051] The conical horn body 1 and the partition type circular polarizer 3 are connected by screwing the horn body metal fixing base 104 and the circular polarizer upper base 301, which can realize circularly polarized radiation and fixation of the conical medium 101.

[0052] As shown in Figure 6 The partition type circular polarizer 3 realizes circular polarization characteristics through the cylindrical waveguide 302, and realizes circular polarization by inserting a multi-stage stepped metal partition in the cylindrical waveguide. Specifically, the cylindrical waveguide 302 adopts a six-stage stepped metal partition, which not only widens the bandwidth but also enables the partition type circular polarizer 3 to maintain relatively stable circular polarization performance at a higher frequency. The cylindrical waveguide 302 adopts a stepped design to generate circularly polarized waves. By adjusting the length and height of the partition, the incident electromagnetic wave generates the required circularly polarized electromagnetic wave after passing through the entire partition.

[0053] The multi-stage stepped metal partition is arranged along the inside center surface of the cylindrical waveguide 302. The lowermost stage of the multi-stage stepped metal partition is tightly attached to the cylindrical waveguide 302 at both ends, and extends upward. The width of the multi-stage stepped metal partition gradually decreases.

[0057] The simulation of the present application is shown in Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 .

[0058] As shown in Figure 8 , the standing wave simulation result of the satellite-borne wide-beam circular polarized antenna with beam equalization proposed by the present application is shown in the working frequency band, and the port standing wave ratio is less than 1.40.

[0059] As shown in Figure 9 , the antenna radiation pattern along the normal direction is rotationally symmetrical, has the beam equalization characteristic, and the maximum radiation direction has a gain of 6.65 decibels; the half-power beam width is 92°, and the antenna has the wide-beam radiation characteristic; the antenna gain is greater than -1 decibel within the range of ±70° in the azimuth angle.
