The radiation characteristics of a circular microstrip antenna are studied numerically. Surface integral equations are used to formulate the problem from the boundary conditions and moment methods are used to reduce the integral equations to a matrix equation. An analytic method is used to design a microstrip feed and to achieve symmetric radiation patterns with low cross polarization and backlobe levels. The backlobe level is reduced by adding a quarter-wavelength choke to the side wall or the ground plane of the antenna and the bandwidth is improved by stacking two layers. The performance of the feed with the reflector antenna is also considered. One of the feeds was fabricated and tested. Satisfactory agreement between the computed results and the measurement data was obtained. The microstrip feed has a very small size which should reduce its blockage of the reflector aperture 相似文献

A new configuration of circularly polarized annular-ring microstrip antenna (ARMSA) fed by a branch-line hybrid coupler placed at the inner part of the ARMSA and its design method using an equivalent circuit are presented. Since the ARMSA has a narrow bandwidth and high-input impedance, a parasitic element placed above the ARMSA is employed for not only obtaining a broadband characteristic, but decreasing the input impedance down to 50 Ω. A hybrid coupler to generate circular polarization, therefore, can be connected to the co-planar space of the ARMSA directly without a large-size matching circuit and a very low profile and simple structure can be achieved. The ARMSA is excited at the TM21 mode to produce a conical pattern, which has a high gain in a low-elevation angle for mobile satellite communications. An effective design method using the equivalent circuit is indicated and, as a result, it is obvious that a broadband characteristic is obtained when each resonant frequency of the ARMSA and parasitic element is identical. Experimental results in the L-band showed satisfactory characteristics for vehicle antennas 相似文献

Multiple beam antennas use reflectors with several feeds at offset locations in the focal plane. The complete feed array tends to be bulky and heavy, hence, to alleviate this, microstrip patch arrays have been used as feed elements. However, a power division circuit becomes necessary for the patches which increases losses. A patch array backed by a cylindrical cavity is proposed which eliminates this lossy circuit. An additional feature is that the beamwidths in various planes may be controlled to a certain extent by varying the interelement spacing. The test results of the proposed feed are presented and discussed; the feed seems suitable for use in multiple-beam applications 相似文献

A statistical model for a land mobile satellite link 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

A statistical model for a land mobile satellite link is described. The model assumes that the amplitude of the line-of-sight component under foliage attenuation (shadowing) is lognormally distributed and the received multipath interference has a Rayleigh distribution. Expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration are given. Comparison between results calculated from the model and from measurements show reasonably good agreement. The model should be useful for designing communications systems and for simulating propagation effects in the laboratory. 相似文献

A frequency scanning system for mobile applications has been assessed for a European mission at L-band. Feasibility evaluations, electrical design and analysis have been performed for both the antenna and the entire repeater. Efforts have also been made to solve accommodation, thermal and mechanical problems, so as to demonstrate the actual feasibility of the frequency scanning concept in user-oriented applications. The very promising results obtained are presented in this paper. 相似文献

The radiation and losses in microstrip antennas with a corporate feed network are studied. A surface current approach is applied in which the electrical currents in the feed lines are modeled as in ideal transmission lines. The free-space radiation and the surface-wave excitation of typical segments in printed feed networks are studied. A four-element array antenna with its printed feed network is analyzed and predicted radiation patterns, directivity, and gain are presented and compared with experimental results. The gain and directivity of large arrays of 16, 64, 256 and 1024 elements are calculated and measurements in the frequency range of 10 to 35 GHz are reported 相似文献

The performance of Reed-Solomon codes is determined for land mobile satellite communications where a shadowed Rician channel model is used. An effective coding/interleaving scheme is proposed which uses the multipath fading and shadowing statistics of the channel.<> 相似文献

An analysis technique for a microstrip array is presented. The array elements and mutual coupling between elements are analyzed by a method of moments (MM) solution of the exact integral equation. The combination of the microstrip array elements, plus the microstrip transmission line feed network is analyzed using a generalized Thévenin theorem. The method is applied to the specific problem of the series fed microstrip array. 相似文献

A 2×2 circularly polarised (CP) microstrip antenna array using a proximity coupled feed and sequential rotation is described. As compared with a previously presented single-element circularly polarised microstrip antenna with a cross-slot, the new array achieves a much wider impedance bandwidth of 11.18% and has an axial ratio bandwidth of 4.1%. The return loss, radiation patterns and axial ratio of the antenna array were measured and are presented 相似文献

A novel antenna structure formed by combining the Yagi-Uda array concept and the microstrip radiator technique is discussed. This antenna, called the microstrip Yagi array, has been developed for the mobile satellite (MSAT) system as a low-profile, low-cost, and mechanically steered medium-gain land-vehicle antenna. With the antenna's active patches (driven elements) and parasitic patches (reflector and director elements) located on the same horizontal plane, the main beam of the array can be tilted, by the effect of mutual coupling, in the elevation direction providing optimal coverage for users in the continental United States. Because the parasitic patches are not connected to any of the lossy RF power distributing circuit the antenna is an efficient radiating system. With the complete monopulse beamforming and power distributing circuits etched on a single thin stripline board underneath the microstrip Yagi array, the overall L -band antenna system has achieved a very low profile for vehicle rooftop mounting, as well as a low manufacturing cost. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of this antenna 相似文献

A novel class of adpative Kalman channel estimators (AKCEs) for low-data-rate signalling via the land mobile satellite (LMS) channel is presented in this paper. The proposed technique is based on a scheme known as the ‘parallel processing algorithm’ and assumes a discrete Gauss–Markov extension of the LMS channel model. Three different approaches compared against the non-adaptive filter show an improved estimation error variance under various environmental conditions. Trading off computational complexity and performance, the derived maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach has been found to be best applicable. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Several modulation schemes for transmitting data over land mobile satellite channels are compared using a Monte Carlo simulation. Schemes under consideration include differentially detected minimum shift keying (DMSK), differentially detected filtered offset quadrature phase shift keying (DOQPSK), and coherently detected binary phase shift keying with transparent tone-in-band processing (BPSK-TTIB). The transmission of data to and from a mobile radio, which is also capable of operating as an amplitude companded single sideband radio, is the application considered here. The nominal bit rate is 2400 bit/s, while the nominal channel spacing is 5 kHz. DOQPSK with nonredundant single-error correction (SEC) is shown to be a promising candidate. It is capable of outperforming DMSK with SEC by more than 1 dB. Techniques that send a reference signal along with a PSK signal and then perform coherent detection, such as BPSK-TTIB, are also shown to be inferior to DOQPSK with SEC for the class of channels considered here. 相似文献

A satellite system based on the frequency scanning concept has been recently assessed for L‐band land mobile communications.
The study – promototed by ESA/ESTEC for an European application mission – has reached an advanced electrical design phase.
The selected configuration is particularly advantageous in terms of Carrier‐to‐Intermodulation ratio (C/I) performance, which
constitutes a requirement of key‐importance in the envisaged user applications. The advantage in C/I is due to the proper
choice of the on‐board transmitter configuration, which adopts power module pairs where the overall power demand is evenly
distributed. The consequent improved C/I is then achievable at both transmitter and radiated far field level. The present
paper aims a contribution to the design methodology of frequency scanning satellite systems, by joining two key‐aspects: in
fact an analytical approach is proposed to demonstrate the C/I advantage achievable through frequency scanning satellite systems
and the methodology is applied to a concrete example, the ESA/ESTEC system, whose feasibility has been fully proved in previous
studies. The analysis is performed both at transmitter level and in the far field. The main results achieved are hereinafter
presented.
