Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Reflektorantenne mit einem Hauptreflektor, vor dem in Richtung einfallender Strahlen ein mit einer reflektierenden Fläche versehener Subreflektor drehbar angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a reflector antenna with a main reflector, in front of the incident rays a reflecting surface provided subreflector rotatable is arranged.
Darüberhinaus betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Subreflektors für eine Reflektorantenne.Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a sub-reflector for a reflector antenna.
Mit Hilfe einer Reflektorantenne werden von einer Strahlenquelle stammende Strahlen, beispielsweise Strahlen eines Satelliten, empfangen und zum Zwecke der Verstärkung weitergeleitet. Zu diesem Zwecke ist ein Hauptreflektor vorgesehen, auf den die Straheln auftreffen und reflektiert werden. Die reflektierten Strahlen treffen sodann auf einen Subreflektor, der etwa im Brennpunkt der als Schüssel ausgebildeten Hauptantenne ausgebildet ist. Der Subreflektor besitzt seinerseits eine dem Hauptreflektor zugewandte reflektierende Schicht, die die vom Hauptreflektor reflektierten Strahlen ihrerseits in Richtung auf einen im Zentrum des Hauptreflektors angeordneten Aufnehmer umlenkt. Um dem Subreflektor einen möglichst großen Querschnitt zu verschaffen, ist dieser drehbar im Brennpunkt des Hauptreflektors angeordnet. Dabei kommen Drehzahlen im Bereich zwischen 200 und 400 U/min in Betracht. Der Subreflektor ist exzentrisch zu einer durch einen Mittelpunkt des Hauptreflektors verlaufenden Achse auf einer Drehachse gelagert. Auf diese Weise tastet er den Hauptreflektor in einem Bereich ab, der sich konisch vom Subreflektor in Richtung auf den Hauptreflektor öffnet.With the help of a reflector antenna from a radiation source originating rays, for example rays from a satellite, received and forwarded for reinforcement. A main reflector is provided for this purpose, on which the rays hit and are reflected. The reflected rays then hit a subreflector, about the focus of the main antenna designed as a bowl is trained. The subreflector in turn has a reflective layer facing the main reflector, the the rays reflected by the main reflector in turn Direction towards one located in the center of the main reflector Deflects transducer. To make the subreflector as large as possible To create a cross-section, it is rotatable in the focal point of the main reflector. Here, speeds come in the range between 200 and 400 rpm. The subreflector is eccentric to one through a center point of the main reflector extending axis mounted on an axis of rotation. On this way he scans the main reflector in an area which is conical from the subreflector towards the main reflector opens.
Dieser exzentrisch gelagerte Subreflektor erzeugt unerwünschte Schwingungen, die sich in der Halterung des Subreflektors als Vibrationen bemerkbar machen. Aufgrund dieser Vibrationen werden die empfangenen Signale verfälscht. Aus dem Stand der Technik ist eine Lösung bekannt, bei der ein um seinen Schwerpunkt rotierender Subreflektor auf einer Drehachse angeordnet ist, die sich im wesentlichen in Richtung der Achse des Hauptreflektors erstreckt. Jedoch verläuft die Achse des Subreflektors nicht in Richtung der Achse des Hauptreflektors, so daß auch durch die Abweichung ein Vibrationseffekt in der Halterung des Subreflektors erzeugt wird. Dieser Vibrationseffekt soll jedoch im Rahmen der vom Subreflektor eingehaltenen Drehzahlen die Stärke der empfangenen Signale nur wenig beeinträchtigen.This eccentrically mounted subreflector produces unwanted ones Vibrations that are in the mount of the subreflector Make vibrations noticeable. Because of these vibrations the received signals falsified. From the state of the Technology is known to be a solution that focuses on its focus rotating sub-reflector arranged on an axis of rotation is, which is essentially in the direction of the axis of the Main reflector extends. However, the axis of the sub-reflector runs not in the direction of the axis of the main reflector, so that also by the deviation a vibration effect in the bracket of the sub-reflector is generated. This vibration effect however, it should be within the speed range maintained by the subreflector affect the strength of the received signals little.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, die Reflektorantenne der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß das Entstehen eines Vibrationseffektes verhindert wird.The object of the present invention is therefore the reflector antenna of the type mentioned so that the improvement A vibration effect is prevented.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Subreflektor eine in Richtung einer Hauptachse des Hauptreflektors verlaufende Achse aufweist, auf der der Subreflektor mit einer hohen Drehzahl von etwa 1500 bis 3500 U/min drehbar gelagert ist.This object is achieved in that the Subreflector one in the direction of a main axis of the main reflector extending axis on which the subreflector rotatable at a high speed of around 1500 to 3500 rpm is stored.
Durch diese Maßnahme wird der Hauptreflektor vom Subreflektor in schneller Folge abgetastet, so daß auf diese Weise eine Vielzahl von Strahlen vom Subreflektor empfangen und in Richtung auf den Aufnehmer reflektiert werden. Dadurch wird ein starkes Signal in einer dem Hauptreflektor nachfolgenden Schaltung erzeugt. Obgleich die Drehachse in Richtung der Achse des Hauptreflektors ausgerichtet ist, wird eine große Anzahl von Strahlen auf der hyperbolischen Reflektorfläche des Reflektors in Richtung auf den Aufnehmer reflektiert.This measure makes the main reflector from the subreflector scanned in quick succession, so that in this way a Variety of beams received by the sub-reflector and towards be reflected on the transducer. This will make a strong signal in a following the main reflector Circuit generated. Although the axis of rotation in the direction of Axis of the main reflector is aligned, becomes a large one Number of rays on the hyperbolic reflector surface of the Reflected in the direction of the transducer.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Subreflektor auf seiner Achse frei von Vibrationen gelagert. Dazu muß für eine sehr exakte Lagerung des Subreflektors auf der Achse gesorgt werden und andererseits dem Subreflektor eine Ausbildung gegeben werden, die auch bei hohen Drehzahlen keine Schwingungen in der Lagerung erzeugt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention the sub-reflector is free of vibrations on its axis.

Eine derartige Ausbildung bedarf einer sehr sorgfältigen konstruktiven Lösung, da die reflektierenden Flächen der Forderung genügen müssen, die auftretenden Strahlen möglichst vollständig in Richtung auf den Aufnehmer zu reflektieren. Da diese Forderung primär die Gestaltung des Reflektors beeinflußt, müssen zur Erfüllung der weitergehenden Forderung, den Subreflektor auch bei hohen Drehzahlen vibrationsfrei zu lagern, erhebliche konstruktive Anstrengungen unternommen werden.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention the subreflector is designed as a rotating body that is free of unbalance. Such training requires a lot careful constructive solution since the reflective surfaces the rays that occur must meet the requirement to reflect as completely as possible towards the transducer.

Auf diese Weise wird gewährleistet, daß die reflektierende Fläche auch bei hohen Drehzahlen keine Eigenbewegungen, beispielsweise durch Flattern erzeugt. Sie ist einerseits fest mit der nichtreflektierenden Masse verbunden, und andererseits wird sie auch von dem anderen Teil im Sinne der Ausbildung eines festen Drehkörpers beaufschlagt.According to a further preferred embodiment, the mass is shaped in the form of a cylinder made up of two interconnected There are parts, one of them to the other facing end has the reflective surface, in which fits the end of the other part in a form. On this ensures that the reflective surface even at high speeds, no own movements, for example generated by flutter. On the one hand, it is firm with the non-reflective mass, and on the other hand it also from the other part in terms of training one fixed rotating body.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist zur Ausbildung der reflektierenden Fläche eine reflektierende Schicht auf die nichtreflektierende Masse aufgebracht. Diese Schicht haftet fest auf der nichtreflektierenden Masse, so daß sie auch bei hohen Drehzahlen keine gegenüber der Masse eigenständigen Bewegungen, beispielsweise Flatterbewegungen durchführen kann.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention is a reflective to form the reflective surface Layer applied to the non-reflective mass. This layer adheres firmly to the non-reflective mass, so that even at high speeds they have no mass independent movements, such as fluttering movements can perform.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht die reflektierende Schicht aus einer Aluminiumschicht, die fest mit der Masse verbunden ist. Diese Verbindung kann gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform dadurch erreicht werden, daß die Aluminiumschicht auf die nicht reflektierende Masse aufgedampft ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention the reflective layer consists of an aluminum layer, which is firmly connected to the mass. This connection can achieved according to a further preferred embodiment be that the aluminum layer on the non-reflective Mass is evaporated.

In A cylinder axis also extends in the direction of this main axis (22) (23) of the cylinder (14), so that in the direction the main axis (22) both the drive shaft (21) and the Cylinder axis (23) extends. This ensures that no deviations of the cylinder axis (23) from the Main axis (22) are present, so that with a very calm Running of the driven cylinder (14) is to be expected.
Darüberhinaus werden jedoch auch vom Zylinder (14) keine Unwuchten erzeugt, die zu einem unruhigen Lauf des Zylinders (14) führen könnten. Der Zylinder (14) besteht aus einem gleichmäßig verteilten Material mit einem im gesamten Bereich des Zylinders (14) gleichbleibenden spezifischen Gewicht. Dieses spezifische Gewicht besitzt auch die Beschichtung (19), die auf der Trägerfläche (20) angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist dafür Sorge getragen, daß durch den Zylinder (14) keine Unwuchten in das gesamte rotierende Gebilde hineingetragen werden. Das aus dem Motor (3) und dem Subreflektor (2) bestehende rotierende Gebilde läuft daher auch bei hohen Drhezahlen vibrationsfrei. Die von dem Subreflektor (2) in Richtung auf den Aufnehmer (4) reflektierten Strahlen (10, 11) sorgen daher im Detektor (5) für Signale optimaler Stärke.In addition, however, the cylinder (14) does not cause any imbalances generates, which leads to a troubled barrel of the cylinder (14) could lead. The cylinder (14) consists of a evenly distributed material with one over the entire area of the cylinder (14) constant specific weight. This the coating (19) also has a specific weight, which is arranged on the support surface (20). In this way care is taken to ensure that none of the cylinders (14) Imbalances carried into the entire rotating structure become. That consisting of the motor (3) and the subreflector (2) rotating structures therefore run even at high numbers of turns vibration free. That of the subreflector (2) towards the sensor (4) reflected rays (10, 11) therefore provide in the detector (5) for signals of optimal strength.
Die Herstellung des Subreflektors (2) geschieht in der Weise, daß zunächst die beiden Teile (12, 16) geformt werden, beispielsweise durch spanende Bearbeitung oder durch ein entsprechendes Gießverfahren. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, daß die Trägerfläche (20) gut und formschlüssig in die Ausnehmung (18) eingepaßt wird.The subreflector (2) is produced in such a way that that first the two parts (12, 16) are molded, for example by machining or by a corresponding Casting process. This ensures that the support surface (20) well and positively into the recess (18) is fitted.
Sodann wird die Trägerfläche (20) mit der Beschichtung (19) versehen. Dabei kann je nach dem verwendeten Material die Beschichtung beispielsweise als ein Farbmittel aufgetragen werden, d.h. entweder auf die Trägerfläche (20) gespritzt oder mit einem Pinsel aufgetragen werden. Auf diese Weise entsteht die reflektierende Fläche (13), die anschließend in die Ausnehmung (18) des zweiten Teils (16) eingepaßt und mit dieser verbunden wird. Diese Verbindung kann mit Hilfe einer sehr dünnen Kleberschicht vorgenommen werden. Darüberhinaus wird darauf geachtet, daß auch der Kleber das spezifische Gewicht des nicht reflektierenden Materials einerseits und der Beschichtung (19) andererseits besitzt.Then the carrier surface (20) with the coating (19) Mistake. Depending on the material used, the coating can for example applied as a colorant i.e. either sprayed onto the support surface (20) or can be applied with a brush. In this way it is created the reflective surface (13), which is then in the recess (18) of the second part (16) fitted and with this is connected. This connection can be made using a very thin adhesive layer can be made. Furthermore, made sure that the adhesive has the specific weight the non-reflective material on the one hand and the coating (19) on the other hand.
Sodann wird in der sich durch den Zylinder (14) erstreckenden Achse (23) eine Befestigung am ersten Teil (12) vorgesehen, mit der die Antriebswelle (21) des Motors (3) verbunden wird. Dabei können entsprechende Kupplungsstücke mit dem zweiten Teil (12) des Zylinders (14) verbunden werden.Then in the extending through the cylinder (14) Axis (23) is provided on the first part (12), with which the drive shaft (21) of the motor (3) is connected. Corresponding coupling pieces can be used with the second Part (12) of the cylinder (14) are connected.
