Definitions
- the invention relates to a flat two-wire antenna with transverse radiation and its application to radars overhead.
- Antennas which meet these conditions at least partially are known in the prior art, which proposes either antennas of the equiangular spiral type wound on a cone, or of the log-periodic type or else, as in the American patent US-A-3 249 946 in the name of ER Flanagan, an antenna comprising a conductive line having folds inscribed in an envelope made up of two intersecting lines. In this last antenna, the phase center is mobile.
- the above-mentioned antennas although having some of the conditions required, do not have transverse radiation making it possible to produce an antenna which can be accommodated in thin volumes.
- planar antennas with double spiral nested have proposed planar antennas with double spiral nested; but this type of antenna, although broadband in frequency, has a fixed phase center relative to the wavelength used.
- the present invention aims to define a two-wire planar antenna having all the conditions mentioned above and the radiation of which is in a transverse direction.
- the flat two-wire antenna with transverse radiation comprises two conductive lines arranged on two planes parallel symmetrically with respect to the median plane and each having N folds whose envelope is defined by straight lines forming an angle of value a predetermined constant, these two conductive lines differing only by a variation in the electrical length of the same conductive line at the folds, so that two elements of conductive lines belonging to the two planes and delimited by two folds successive are traversed by a phase current for the wavelength used.
- a two-wire line whose conductors are sufficiently close to each other has a very weak radiation because the conductors being traversed by a current in phase opposition, their respective radiations cancel each other out.
- This method is used to create the radiation of the antenna object of the invention.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of an antenna according to the invention seen in perspective and front view. It comprises a dielectric plate 10 limited by two planes P and P 2 , the thickness of which is small, and on which are fixed on either side, and respectively, two conductive metal lines 1 and 2, for example by etching according to the known technique of printed circuits; these lines have N folds which are arranged so as to be inscribed in an opening angle ⁇ .
- FIG. 2 shows a possible geometry of the folds which here are such that they only have right angles and thus delimit elements of straight conductive lines, parallel and equidistant from each other.
- one of the conductive lines 2 is extended by a length 11.1 relative to the other conductive line 1 at each folding.
- ⁇ is not critical since, in combination with the distance d between two consecutive elements of the same conductive line, it only determines the interval ⁇ of wavelength between the maximum radiations.
- a and d are as low as possible, which of course increases the size of the antenna and its difficulty of realization.
- the value given to d is in any case limited below by the coupling phenomena between the elements of neighboring lines.
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of an antenna according to the invention for which the distance between two successive elements of the same conductive line varies in proportion to the distance of these line elements at the feed point 0.
- This variant in the geometry of the folds implies that the variations ⁇ 1 of each fold are proportional to the distance from the feed point 0 of the antenna.
- An elementary antenna as described above can be used for very wide frequency transmission and / or reception of a rectilinear polarized wave, for example in an electromagnetic detection device.
- the combination of at least two of these antennas can be used as an aerial deviation meter; the phase difference between the signals received by two neighboring antennas is then measured, these being able to be supplied either in phase or in phase opposition as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
- Arrays of several antennas of this type can be done in many different ways. For a couple of two antennas, it is possible, for example, to arrange them on the same plane and symmetrically with respect to a point or with respect to a straight line of this same plane as shown in the examples corresponding to FIGS. 7 and 8.
- a plane 11 reflecting the electromagnetic waves such as for example a metal plate, can be placed either parallel to this antenna at a distance close to ⁇ M / 4 where ⁇ M is the length mean wave of the antenna, either passing through the point 0 and making an angle ⁇ so that each conductive line element of order 1 is situated relative to the reflecting plane, at a distance equal to half the length electric Ai / 2 of the element considered ⁇ 'order i, that is to say at a distance ⁇ i / 4 measured parallel to the direction of radiation, where ⁇ i is the wavelength corresponding to the resonance of this line element.
- a dielectric plate 12 of suitable index and thickness is fixed on one of the two lines 2 and covering it totally or partially so as to obtain an effect similar to the geometric elongation of one of the two conducting lines .
- the dielectric plate then completely covers one face of the antenna so as to create an electrical elongation ⁇ 1 varying proportionally to the length of the conductive line.
- the dielectric plate occupies only two angular sectors delimited by angles ⁇ " ⁇ ⁇ of vertex 0 and adjacent to the sides of the angle ⁇ .
- a two-wire planar antenna with transverse radiation has thus been described, and its application to radar aerials.
