Abstract

Two of the four inputs are directly interconnected and also coupled to corresp. outputs by two stages of hybrid couplers. The first stage comprises two 180 deg. directional couplers. The second stage on the antenna side consists of 90 deg. directional couplers. - The system offers a 45 deg. phase shift between the interconnected inputs and each of four antennas, while phase rotations of 180 and 270 deg., zero and 90 deg. in one direction are obtd. for one of the unconnected inputs, and in the reverse direction for the other.

Description

       

  SYSTEME D'ANTENNE A DEPHASAGE 

  
L'invention se rapporte à un système d'antennes à déphasage comprenant deux coupleurs d'entrée à 180[deg.], deux entrées associées à des coupleurs d'entrée distincts étant interconnectées dont chacun est couplé à deux coupleurs

  
de sortie à 90[deg.], eux-mêmes connectés à quatre antennes, le système offrant un déphasage de 45[deg.] entre les entrées interconnectées et chacune des quatre antennes tandis que des rotations de phase dans un premier sens sont obtenues pour une des deux entrées restantes, c'est-à-dire 180[deg.],
270[deg.], 0[deg.], 90[deg.],et dans l'autre sens pour la dernière entrée.

  
Un tel système est parmi ceux décrits dans le brevet belge No 897 767 concernant notamment un réseau de couplage déphaseur utilisable dans un système de radiotéléphonie rural opérant en FM dans les bandes VHF (146 à 174 MHz) et UHF (420 à 512 MHz) et suivant une structure cellulaire.

  
 <EMI ID=1.1> 

  
un diamètre de l'ordre d'une demi-longueur d'onde et avec un réseau de couplage déphaseur ne comprenant que quatre coupleurs hybrides directionnels et un ou deux éléments de délais .

  
Le couplage des émetteurs vers les antennes peut être obtenu

  
à partir de trois câbles d'entrée produisant trois modes d'opération, le premier avec des phases égales auxsorties, le second avec unerotation de phase vers la gauche et le troisième avec une rotation vers la droite, les caractéristiques de radiation étant omnidirectionnelles.

  
Le but de l'invention est d'éviter tout élément de délai entre les deux étages de coupleurs hybrides.

  
Suivant l'invention, le système d'antennes à déphasage est caractérisé par quatre liaisons directes entre les deux coupleurs d'entrée et les deux coupleurs de sortie et par

  
 <EMI ID=2.1> 

  
dans l'autre sens.

  
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui fait suite devant être lue en conjonction avec le dessin accompagnant la description et

  
qui représente les quatre coupleurs hybrides directionnels

  
de la Fig. 1 du brevet précité mais avec une modification

  
des interconnexions pour éviter l'élément de délai de 180[deg.] précédemment utilisé.

  
Comme le montre la figure, le réseau déphaseur comporte quatre entrées 1, 2, 3 et 4 mais 1 et 4 sont directement interconnectées. Las quatre sorties A, B, C et D correspondent aux quatre antennes (non montrées) et les entrées 1 à 4 sont couplées aux sorties A à D par deux étages de coupleurs hybrides, le premier est constitué par Hl et H2 qui sont chacun des coupleurs directionnels à 180[deg.] et le second, du côté des antennes, comprenant les coupleurs hybrides H3 et H4 qui sont des coupleurs directionnels à 90[deg.].

  
Le réseau est essentiellement semblable à celui de la Fig. 1 du brevet précité et particulièrement pour la réalisation décrite dans ce brevet et où il n'y a que trois entrées reliées aux émetteurs, suite à la connexion directe entre les entrées 1 et 4. Toutefois, dans cette solution antérieure, les coupleurs H2 et H3 n'étaient pas directement interconnectés comme montrés mais par l'intermédiaire d'un élément produisant un délai de 180[deg.] et d'autre part, le coupleur bidirectionnel

  
H2 était inversé par rapport à ce qui est montré au dessin

  
de telle sorte qu'il y avait dans la solution antérieure un délai total de 180 + 180 = 360[deg.] entre l'entrée 4 et la sortie 

B.

  
Ce délai total est maintenant réduit à 0 et en examinant les divers déphasages, on constate qu'il est néanmoins possible d'obtenir le résultat antérieur, c'est-à-dire un

  
 <EMI ID=3.1> 

  
rotations de phase dans un sens ou dans l'autre pour l'alimentation à partir des entrées 2 et 3. Les différent déphasages sont indiqués par le tableau suivant

  

 <EMI ID=4.1> 


  
On voit qu'ils sont exactement identiques aux déphasages de la solution antérieure en ce qui concerne les entrées 1/4 et 2 tandis que pour l'entrée 3, il y a maintenant une réduction uniforme de 180[deg.] mais on obtient toujours la même rotation dans le sens opposé.



  PHASE ANTENNA SYSTEM

  
The invention relates to a phase shift antenna system comprising two 180 [deg.] Input couplers, two inputs associated with separate input couplers being interconnected each of which is coupled to two couplers

  
output at 90 [deg.], themselves connected to four antennas, the system providing a phase shift of 45 [deg.] between the interconnected inputs and each of the four antennas while phase rotations in a first direction are obtained for one of the two remaining entries, that is to say 180 [deg.],
270 [deg.], 0 [deg.], 90 [deg.], And the other way around for the last entry.

  
Such a system is among those described in Belgian patent No 897 767 concerning in particular a phase shift coupling network usable in a rural radiotelephony system operating in FM in the VHF (146 to 174 MHz) and UHF bands (420 to 512 MHz) and following a cellular structure.

  
 <EMI ID = 1.1>

  
a diameter of the order of half a wavelength and with a phase shift coupling network comprising only four directional hybrid couplers and one or two delay elements.

  
Transmitters to antennas can be paired

  
from three input cables producing three operating modes, the first with phases equal to the outputs, the second with a phase rotation to the left and the third with a rotation to the right, the radiation characteristics being omnidirectional.

  
The object of the invention is to avoid any element of delay between the two stages of hybrid couplers.

  
According to the invention, the phase shift antenna system is characterized by four direct links between the two input couplers and the two output couplers and by

  
 <EMI ID = 2.1>

  
in the other direction.

  
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows, which must be read in conjunction with the drawing accompanying the description and

  
which represents the four directional hybrid couplers

  
of Fig. 1 of the aforementioned patent but with an amendment

  
interconnections to avoid the 180 [deg.] delay element previously used.

  
As shown in the figure, the phase shift network has four inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 but 1 and 4 are directly interconnected. The four outputs A, B, C and D correspond to the four antennas (not shown) and inputs 1 to 4 are coupled to outputs A to D by two stages of hybrid couplers, the first consists of Hl and H2 which are each of directional couplers at 180 [deg.] and the second, on the antenna side, comprising the hybrid couplers H3 and H4 which are directional couplers at 90 [deg.].

  
The network is essentially similar to that of FIG. 1 of the aforementioned patent and particularly for the embodiment described in this patent and where there are only three inputs connected to the transmitters, following the direct connection between inputs 1 and 4. However, in this prior solution, the couplers H2 and H3 were not directly interconnected as shown but via an element producing a delay of 180 [deg.] And on the other hand, the bidirectional coupler

  
H2 was inverted compared to what is shown in the drawing

  
so that there was in the previous solution a total delay of 180 + 180 = 360 [deg.] between entry 4 and exit

B.

  
This total delay is now reduced to 0 and by examining the various phase shifts, it is found that it is nevertheless possible to obtain the previous result, that is to say a

  
 <EMI ID = 3.1>

  
phase rotations in one direction or the other for the supply from inputs 2 and 3. The different phase shifts are indicated by the following table

  

 <EMI ID = 4.1>


  
We see that they are exactly identical to the phase shifts of the previous solution with regard to inputs 1/4 and 2 while for input 3, there is now a uniform reduction of 180 [deg.] But we still get the same rotation in the opposite direction.
