    A Satellite-borne Isoflux Pattern Antenna in Ka-band

    • 摘要: 本文提出了一种适用于 Ka 波段的等通量方向图天线和隔板圆极化器的优化设计。 该天线可应用于低轨卫星 上以实现卫星测控。 一般近地轨道上运行的卫星需要更大角度的覆盖范围和更长时间的可见性,而该天线的方向图可以 很好地补偿卫星与地面站的倾斜角度,在轨期间向地面站提供均匀的功率密度。 天线采用隔板圆极化器实现圆极化,通 过对隔板阶梯尺寸的优化,进一步提升了天线的工作带宽。 最终优化的天线方向图具有等通量特性、低副瓣电平,天线的 相对工作带宽可达到 30% 左右。

       

      Abstract: In this paper, an isoflux pattern antenna suitable for the Ka-band and an optimized design of septum circular polarizer is proposed. The antenna can be applied to low earth orbit satellites to enable TT&C (Tracking, Telemetry and Command). Satellites operating in low earth orbit generally require wider angle coverage and longer time visibility. And the pattern of this antenna can well compensate for the tilt angle between the satellite and the ground station, providing a uniform power density to the ground station while in orbit. The antenna uses a septum polarizer to achieve circular polarization, and the operating bandwidth of the antenna is further enhanced by optimizing the step size. The final optimized antenna pattern has isoflux characteristics, low side lobe level, and the relative operating bandwidth of the antenna can reach about 30%.
