卫星反射面天线波束赋形的研究

卫星波束赋形天线普遍采用阵馈抛物反射面天线和单馈成形反射面天线。针对前者阵馈和后者反射面表面开头复杂的特点,本文分别采用了遗传算法和共轭梯度法对这两种天线进行了优化,并获得了中国版图的减束赋形,说明上述算法在卫星反射面天线波束赋形优化中是有效的。     

卫星阵馈反射面赋形波束天线的一种高效旁瓣抑制方法

为了使卫星阵馈反射面赋形波束天线具有尽可能低的旁瓣电平,以降低日益增多干扰的影响,传统的波束赋形方法往往需要对约束点的数量和位置进行反复调整,故非常烦琐.因此本文在阵馈反射面天线的频域方向性相乘原理的基础上,提出了一种高效的旁瓣抑制方法,即在计算最佳激励系数时使用宽度较窄的点波束,而在计算赋形波束方向图时使用实际的点波束.由于这种方法通常只需要对少量约束点的位置进行调整,所以它可以高效地获得低旁瓣电平、高精度的赋形波束.     

卫星阵馈反射面赋形波束天线窗口效应的研究

随着干扰的日益增多,卫星阵馈反射面赋形波束天线通常希望具有尽可能低的旁瓣电平。然而,当馈元阵口径面面积有限时,窗口效应往往会使这种天线具有较高的旁瓣电平。本文在阵馈反射面天线频域方向性相乘原理的基础上,对这种窗口效应形成的原因和产生的影响进行了分析,并提出了两种能够减小这种窗口效应的窗口函数,最后用一个实际阵馈反射面天线的仿真计算结果证明了这两种窗口函数的有效性和优越性。

An adaptive calibration and beamforming technique for a GEO satellite data relay

High throughput data links from low Earth orbit satellites through a geostationary orbit satellite data relay have been proposed to increase the available contact times to ground stations. Accurate antenna beam pointing and tracking of moving targets are key requirements for the relay satellite. In this work, we propose an adaptive calibration and beamforming methodology on the basis of least mean squares, which is suitable for a geostationary orbit data relay. The target system consists of the combination of a high gain reflector fed by a digitally steerable patch antenna array. The proposed method is first presented by numerical cosimulation of the antenna and the calibration algorithm. The results are then validated in an outdoor experimental setup with all digital signal processing implemented in a field‐programmable gate array. We demonstrate the tracking ability and pointing performance of the digitally enhanced reflector antenna with gain fluctuations smaller than 3 dB over a field of view of at least 2,5°. The demonstrated performance shows that the digitally enhanced reflector antenna is a suitable candidate for long‐distance space communications.     

A generalized diffraction synthesis technique for high performancereflector antennas

Stringent requirements on reflector antenna performances in modern applications such as direct broadcast satellite (DBS) communications, radar systems, and radio astronomy have demanded the development of sophisticated synthesis techniques. Presented in the paper is a generalized diffraction synthesis technique for single- and dual-reflector antennas fed by either a single feed or an array feed. High versatility and accuracy are achieved by combining optimization procedures and diffraction analysis such as physical optics (PO) and physical theory of diffraction (PTD). With this technique, one may simultaneously shape the reflector surfaces and adjust the positions, orientations, and excitations of an arbitrarily configured array feed to produce the specified radiation characteristics such as high directivity, contoured patterns, and low sidelobe levels, etc. The shaped reflectors are represented by a set of orthogonal global expansion functions (the Jacobi-Fourier expansion), and are characterized by smooth surfaces, well-defined (superquadric) circumferences, and continuous surface derivatives. The sample applications of contoured beam antenna designs and reflector surface distortion compensation are given to illustrate the effectiveness of this diffraction synthesis technique

Contoured beam reflector antenna for wireless applications

Wireless coverage in urban, suburban, and light industrial areas is a challenging problem for cellular network planners. This is mainly due to scattering from buildings and structures but also because area specific demographic features such as parks, streets, and sports arenas require specialized coverage. A contoured beam reflector antenna is a simple and effective solution for this problem, providing excellent control in both planes of the radiation pattern and a very sharp taper at the edge of coverage. The problem of wireless coverage planning using existing base-station antenna types is discussed, and a potential solution for these problems using contoured beam reflector antennas is demonstrated by examples. The implementation of this solution is made possible by using an inexpensive manufacturing technique involving a reconfigurable mould and a foam extrusion process
