Description

A kind of feed-back satellite TV antenna and its satellite TV receiving system

technical field

The invention relates to the communication field, and more specifically, relates to a feed-back satellite TV antenna and a satellite TV receiving system thereof.

Background technique

The traditional satellite TV receiving system is a satellite ground receiving station composed of parabolic antenna, feed source, tuner and satellite receiver. The parabolic dish is responsible for reflecting the satellite signal into the feed and tuner at the focal point. The feed source is a horn set at the focal point of the parabolic antenna to collect satellite signals, also known as a corrugated horn. There are two main functions: one is to collect the electromagnetic wave signal received by the antenna, transform it into a signal voltage, and supply it to the tuner. The second is to perform polarization conversion on the received electromagnetic waves. The high-frequency head LNB (also known as the down-converter) is to down-frequency and amplify the satellite signal sent by the feeder, and then transmit it to the satellite receiver. Generally, it can be divided into C-band frequency LNB (3.7GHz-4.2GHz, 18-21V) and Ku-band frequency LNB (10.7GHz-12.75GHz, 12-14V). The working process of LNB is to first amplify the satellite high-frequency signal to hundreds of thousands of times, and then use the local oscillator circuit to convert the high-frequency signal to an intermediate frequency of 950MHz-2050MHz, so as to facilitate the transmission of the coaxial cable and the demodulation and work of the satellite receiver. . The satellite receiver is to demodulate the satellite signal sent by the tuner, and demodulate the satellite TV image or digital signal and audio signal.

When receiving satellite signals, the parallel electromagnetic waves are reflected by the parabolic antenna and then converged to the feed source. Usually, the corresponding feed source of the parabolic antenna is a horn antenna.

However, since the curved surface of the reflective surface of the parabolic antenna is difficult to process and requires high precision, the manufacturing is troublesome and the cost is relatively high.

Detailed ways

As shown in Figures 1 to 5, according to the present invention, the feed-back satellite TV antenna includes a metamaterial panel 100 arranged in front of the feed source 1, the metamaterial panel 100 includes a core layer 10, and the core layer 10 includes at least one A core layer sheet 11, the core layer sheet layer includes a sheet-shaped substrate 13 and a plurality of artificial microstructures 12 arranged on the substrate 13, and the core layer sheet layer 11 can be divided into two types located in the middle according to the refractive index distribution The circular area Y of the position and a plurality of annular areas distributed around the circular area Y and concentric with the circular area (indicated by H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 respectively in the figure), the circular area The refractive index at the same radius in the Y and the annular area is the same, and the refractive index gradually decreases with the increase of the radius in the respective areas of the circular area and the annular area, and the minimum value of the refractive index of the circular area is smaller than that of the circular area. The maximum value of the refractive index of the adjacent ring-shaped area, two adjacent ring-shaped areas, the minimum value of the refractive index of the inner ring area is smaller than the maximum value of the refractive index of the outer ring area. The division of the core layer 11 into circular regions and multiple annular regions according to the refractive index is for better description of the present invention, which does not mean that the core layer 11 of the present invention has such an actual structure. In the present invention, the feed source 1 is arranged on the central axis of the metamaterial panel, that is, the line connecting the feed source and the center of the core layer sheet 11 coincides with the central axis of the metamaterial panel. Both the feed source 1 and the metamaterial panel 100 are supported by brackets, and the brackets are not shown in the figure, which is not the core of the present invention, and traditional support methods can be used. In addition, the feed source is preferably a horn antenna. The ring here includes both the complete ring area in FIG. 3 and the incomplete ring area in FIG. 3 . The core layer sheet 11 in the figure is in the shape of a square, of course, it can also be in other shapes, such as a cylinder, and when it is in the shape of a cylinder, all the annular areas can be complete annular areas. In addition, in FIG. 3 , there may be no annular regions H4 and H5 , and at this time, H4 and H5 may have a uniform refractive index distribution (that is, artificial microstructures are not provided at positions of H4 and H5 ).

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , the core layer 10 includes a plurality of core layer sheets 11 with the same refractive index distribution and parallel to each other. A plurality of core layer sheets 11 are closely attached, and can be bonded to each other by double-sided adhesive tape, or fixedly connected by bolts or the like. In addition, the adjacent core layer 11 also includes a filling layer 15 , which can be air or other dielectric plates, preferably a plate-shaped piece made of the same material as the base material 13 . The substrate 13 of each core layer sheet 11 can be divided into a plurality of identical metamaterial units D, and each metamaterial unit D is composed of an artificial microstructure 12, a unit base material V and a unit filling layer W, and each core layer Sheet 11 has only one metamaterial unit D in the thickness direction. Each metamaterial unit D can be exactly the same square, it can be a cube, or a cuboid, and the length, width, and height of each metamaterial unit D are not greater than one-fifth of the incident electromagnetic wave wavelength (usually incident electromagnetic wave one-tenth of the wavelength), so that the entire core layer has a continuous electric and/or magnetic field response to electromagnetic waves. Preferably, the metamaterial unit D is a cube whose side length is one tenth of the wavelength of the incident electromagnetic wave. Of course, the thickness of the filling layer can be adjusted, and its minimum value can reach 0, that is to say, no filling layer is needed. In this case, the base material and the artificial microstructure form a metamaterial unit, that is, the metamaterial unit D at this time The thickness is equal to the thickness of the unit substrate V plus the thickness of the artificial microstructure, but at this time, the thickness of the metamaterial unit D also meets the requirement of one-tenth of the wavelength. Therefore, in fact, when the thickness of the metamaterial unit D is selected In the case of one-tenth of the wavelength, the greater the thickness of the unit substrate V, the smaller the thickness of the unit filling layer W. Of course, the optimal situation is the situation shown in Figure 2, that is, the unit base The thickness of the material V is equal to the thickness of the cell filling layer W, and the material of the cell substrate V is the same as that of the filling layer W.

The artificial microstructure 12 of the present invention is preferably a metal microstructure composed of one or more metal wires. The metal wire itself has a certain width and thickness. The metal microstructure of the present invention is preferably a metal microstructure with isotropic electromagnetic parameters, such as the planar snowflake-shaped metal microstructure as shown in FIG. 2 .

For artificial microstructures with a planar structure, isotropy means that for any electromagnetic wave incident on the two-dimensional plane at any angle, the electric field response and magnetic field response of the artificial microstructure on the plane are the same, and That is, the permittivity and permeability are the same; for artificial microstructures with three-dimensional structures, isotropy refers to the electric field response and The magnetic field response is the same for all. When the artificial microstructure is a 90-degree rotationally symmetrical structure, the artificial microstructure has isotropic characteristics.

For a two-dimensional planar structure, 90-degree rotational symmetry means that it coincides with the original structure after being arbitrarily rotated 90 degrees on the plane around a rotation axis perpendicular to the plane and passing through its center of symmetry; for a three-dimensional structure, if there are two perpendicular And there are three rotation axes at the same intersection point (the intersection point is the center of rotation), so that after the structure is rotated 90 degrees around any rotation axis, it will coincide with the original structure or be symmetrical with the original structure at an interface, then the structure is 90-degree rotational symmetry structure.

The plane snowflake-like metal microstructure shown in Figure 2 is a form of isotropic artificial microstructure, and the described snowflake-like metal microstructure has a first metal line 121 and a second metal line that are perpendicular to each other and bisect each other. 122, the two ends of the first metal line 121 are connected to two first metal branches 1211 of the same length, the two ends of the first metal line 121 are connected to the midpoint of the two first metal branches 1211, the first Both ends of the two metal lines 122 are connected to two second metal branches 1221 of the same length, and the two ends of the second metal line 122 are connected to the midpoint of the two second metal branches 1221 .

其中μ为相对磁导率，ε为相对介电常数，μ与ε合称为电磁参数。实验证明，电磁波通过折射率非均匀的介质材料时，会向折射率大的方向偏折(向折射率大的超材料单元偏折)。因此本发明的核心层对电磁波具有汇聚作用，合理设计核心层的折射率分布，可以使得卫星发出的电磁波通过核心层后汇聚到馈源上。在基材的材料以及填充层的材料选定的情况下，可以通过设计人造微结构的形状、几何尺寸和/或人造微结构在基材上的排布获得超材料内部的电磁参数分布，从而设计出每一超材料单元的折射率。首先从超材料所需要的效果出发计算出超材料内部的电磁参数空间分布(即每一超材料单元的电磁参数)，根据电磁参数的空间分布来选择每一超材料单元上的人造微结构的形状、几何尺寸(计算机中事先存放有多种人造微结构数据)，对每一超材料单元的设计可以用穷举法，例如先选定一个具有特定形状的人造微结构，计算电磁参数，将得到的结果和我们想要的对比，循环多次，一直到找到我们想要的电磁参数为止，若找到了，则完成了人造微结构的设计参数选择；若没找到，则换一种形状的人造微结构，重复上面的循环，一直到找到我们想要的电磁参数为止。如果还是未找到，则上述过程也不会停止。也就是说只有找到了我们需要的电磁参数的人造微结构，程序才会停止。由于这个过程都是由计算机完成的，因此，看似复杂，其实很快就能完成。known refractive index

Among them, μ is the relative magnetic permeability, ε is the relative permittivity, and μ and ε are collectively called electromagnetic parameters. Experiments have proved that when electromagnetic waves pass through a dielectric material with a non-uniform refractive index, they will be deflected toward a direction with a large refractive index (towards a metamaterial unit with a large refractive index). Therefore, the core layer of the present invention has a converging effect on electromagnetic waves, and the reasonable design of the refractive index distribution of the core layer can make the electromagnetic waves emitted by the satellite converge on the feed source after passing through the core layer. When the material of the substrate and the material of the filling layer are selected, the electromagnetic parameter distribution inside the metamaterial can be obtained by designing the shape, geometric size and/or arrangement of the artificial microstructure on the substrate, thereby The refractive index of each metamaterial unit is designed. Firstly, the spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters inside the metamaterial (that is, the electromagnetic parameters of each metamaterial unit) is calculated from the desired effect of the metamaterial, and the artificial microstructure on each metamaterial unit is selected according to the spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters. Shape, geometric size (multiple artificial microstructure data are stored in the computer in advance), the design of each metamaterial unit can be exhaustive, for example, first select an artificial microstructure with a specific shape, calculate the electromagnetic parameters, and The obtained result is compared with what we want, and the cycle is repeated for many times until the electromagnetic parameters we want are found. If found, the design parameter selection of the artificial microstructure is completed; if not found, change to another shape. Artificial microstructure, repeat the above cycle until we find the electromagnetic parameters we want. If it is still not found, the above process will not stop. That is to say, the program will stop only when an artificial microstructure with the electromagnetic parameters we need is found. Since this process is completed by a computer, it may seem complicated, but it can be completed very quickly.

In the present invention, the base material of the core layer is made of ceramic material, polymer material, ferroelectric material, ferrite material or ferromagnetic material. Polymer materials can be selected from polytetrafluoroethylene, epoxy resin, F4B composite material, FR-4 composite material, etc. For example, polytetrafluoroethylene has very good electrical insulation, so it will not interfere with the electric field of electromagnetic waves, and has excellent chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and long service life.

In the present invention, the metal microstructure is metal wires such as copper wires or silver wires. The above metal wires can be attached to the substrate by etching, electroplating, drilling, photolithography, electron etching or ion etching. Of course, three-dimensional laser processing technology can also be used.

其中μ为相对磁导率，ε为相对介电常数，μ与ε合称为电磁参数。我们知道空气的折射率为1，因此，在设计匹配层时，电磁波入射侧的匹配层这样设计，即靠近空气的一侧的折射率与空气基本相同，靠近核心层的一侧的折射率与其相接的核心层片层折射率基本相同即可；而电磁波出射侧的匹配层设计则相对核心层对称过来即可。这样，就实现了核心层的折射率匹配，减小了反射，即能量损失可以大大的降低，这样电磁波可以传输的更远。As shown in Figure 1, it is a schematic structural diagram of the metamaterial panel of the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the metamaterial panel also includes matching layers 20 arranged on both sides of the core layer to realize the transformation from air to The refractive index of the core layer 10 is matched. We know that the greater the difference in refractive index between media, the greater the reflection of electromagnetic waves from one medium to another, and the greater the reflection, which means energy loss. At this time, the matching of refractive index is required. Known refraction Rate

Among them, μ is the relative magnetic permeability, ε is the relative permittivity, and μ and ε are collectively called electromagnetic parameters. We know that the refractive index of air is 1. Therefore, when designing the matching layer, the matching layer on the incident side of the electromagnetic wave is designed such that the refractive index of the side close to the air is basically the same as that of the air, and the refractive index of the side close to the core layer is the same as that of the air. The refractive index of the adjacent core layer sheets should be basically the same; and the design of the matching layer on the electromagnetic wave exit side should be symmetrical with respect to the core layer. In this way, the refractive index matching of the core layer is realized, and reflection is reduced, that is, energy loss can be greatly reduced, so that electromagnetic waves can be transmitted farther.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 , the center of the circular region Y is the center O of the core layer 11, and the refractive index variation range of the circular region Y and the plurality of annular regions is the same, The refractive index n(r) distribution of the core layer sheet 11 satisfies the following formula:

$\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; no</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; r</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; =</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; no</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; max</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span>\frac{\sqrt{{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; l</span>}}^{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 2</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; +</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; r</span>}}^{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 2</span>}}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; l</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; k\&lambda;</span>}}{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; d</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 1</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; ;</span>$

Among them, n(r) represents the refractive index value at the radius r on the core layer sheet; that is, the refractive index of the metamaterial unit whose radius is r on the core layer sheet; the radius here refers to the base material of each unit The distance from the midpoint of V to the center O (circle center) of the core layer, the midpoint of the unit substrate V here refers to the midpoint of a surface on the same plane as the unit substrate V and the midpoint O.

l is the distance from the feed source 1 to the matching layer 20 close to it;

d is the thickness of the core layer, $d=\frac{\mathrm{\&lambda;}}{{\mathrm{no}}_{\max }-{\mathrm{no}}_{\min }}---\left(2\right);$

n _max represents the maximum value of the refractive index on the core layer sheet 11;

n _min represents the minimum value of the refractive index on the core layer sheet 11; the refractive index variation range of the circular area Y and the multiple annular areas is the same, which means that the circular area Y and the multiple annular areas have the same refractive index. It decreases continuously from n _max to n _min from inside to outside. As an example, n _max can take a value of 6, and n _min can take a value of 1, that is, the refractive index of the circular area Y and the multiple annular areas decrease continuously from 6 to 1 from inside to outside.

floor表示向下取整数；k可以用来表示圆形区域及环形区域的编号，当k＝0，表示圆形区域，当k＝1时，表示与圆形区域相邻的第一个环形区域；当k＝2时，表示第一个环形区域相邻的第二个环形区域；依此类推。即r的最大值确定了有多少个环形区域。每一核心层片层的厚度通常是一定的(通常是入射电磁波波长的十分之一)，这样，在核心层形状选定的情况下(可以是圆柱形或方形)，核心层片层的尺寸就可以得到确定。

floor means rounding down to an integer; k can be used to indicate the number of the circular area and the circular area. When k=0, it means the circular area. When k=1, it means the first circular area adjacent to the circular area. ; When k=2, it means the second annular area adjacent to the first annular area; and so on. That is, the maximum value of r determines how many annular regions there are. The thickness of each core layer sheet is usually certain (usually one-tenth of the wavelength of the incident electromagnetic wave), so that when the shape of the core layer is selected (it can be cylindrical or square), the thickness of the core layer sheet size can be determined.

The core layer 10 determined by formula (1), formula (2) and formula (3) can ensure that the electromagnetic waves emitted by the satellite converge to the feed source. This can be obtained by computer simulation, or by using the principle of optics (that is, using the calculation of equal optical paths).

In this embodiment, the thickness of the core layer sheet 11 is constant, usually less than one-fifth of the wavelength λ of the incident electromagnetic wave, preferably one-tenth of the wavelength λ of the incident electromagnetic wave. Like this, when designing, if the number of layers of the core layer sheet 11 is selected, then the thickness d of the core layer has just been determined, therefore, for the feed-back type satellite TV antenna (wavelength is different) of different frequencies, by formula ( 2) We know that by designing the value of (n _max -n _min ) reasonably, we can get a feed-back satellite TV antenna of any desired frequency. For example, C-band and Ku-band. The frequency range of the C-band is 3400MHz ~ 4200MHz. The frequency of the Ku band is 10.7-12.75 GHz, which can be divided into frequency bands such as 10.7-11.7 GHz, 11.7-12.2 GHz, and 12.2-12.75 GHz.

As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, the matching layer 20 includes a plurality of matching layer sheets 21, each matching layer sheet 21 has a single refractive index, and the matching layers of the matching layers on both sides of the core layer The refractive index of the sheet all satisfies the following formula:

$\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; no</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; i</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; =</span>{<span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; no</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; max</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; +</span>{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; no</span>}}_{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; min</span>}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; /</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 2</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span>}^{\frac{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; i</span>}}{\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; m</span>}}}<span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; -</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; (</span>\mathrm{<span\; class="notranslate">\; 4</span>}<span\; class="notranslate">\; )</span><span\; class="notranslate">\; ;</span>$

Wherein, m represents the total number of layers of the matching layer, and i represents the serial number of the matching layer slice, wherein the serial number of the matching layer slice close to the core layer is m. From the formula (4), we can see that the refractive index of the multiple matching layer sheets on the side of the core layer 10 and the refractive index of the multiple matching layer sheets on the side of the core layer 10 are set symmetrically with respect to the core layer. The setting of the matching layer (the total number of layers m) is directly related to the maximum refractive index n _max and the minimum refractive index n _min of the core layer; when i=1, it means the refractive index of the first layer, because it should be basically equal to that of air The refractive index is 1, therefore, as long as n _max and n _min are determined, the total number of layers m can be determined.

The matching layer 20 can be made of a plurality of materials with a single refractive index existing in nature, or a matching layer as shown in Figure 5, which includes a plurality of matching layer sheets 21, each matching layer sheet It includes a first substrate 22 and a second substrate 23 made of the same material, and air is filled between the first substrate 21 and the second substrate 22 . By controlling the ratio of the volume of the air to the volume of the matching ply layer 21, the change of the refractive index from 1 (refractive index of air) to the refractive index of the first substrate can be realized, so that the refraction of each matching ply layer can be reasonably designed ratio to achieve refractive index matching from the air to the core layer.

Fig. 4 is a core layer sheet 11 of a form, and a plurality of artificial microstructures 12 of each core layer sheet 11 of the described core layer are identical in shape, and are all plane snowflake-shaped metal microstructures, and the metal microstructures The central point coincides with the midpoint of the unit substrate V, and a plurality of artificial microstructures at the same radius in the circular area and the annular area have the same geometric size, and in the respective areas of the circular area and the annular area The geometric size of the artificial microstructure 12 gradually decreases as the radius increases, and the geometric size of the artificial microstructure with the smallest geometric size in the circular area is smaller than the geometric size of the largest artificial microstructure in the adjacent annular area, Adjacent to two annular regions, the geometric size of the artificial microstructure with the smallest geometric size in the inner annular region is smaller than the geometric size of the largest artificial microstructure in the outer annular region. Since the refractive index of each metamaterial unit decreases gradually as the size of the metal microstructure decreases, the larger the geometric size of the artificial microstructure, the greater its corresponding refractive index. Therefore, in this way, it can be realized The refractive index distribution of the core layer is distributed according to the formula (1).

According to different requirements (different electromagnetic waves), and different design requirements, the core layer 10 may include core layer sheets 11 with different numbers of layers as shown in FIG. 4 .

The present invention also has a second embodiment, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that l in the distribution formula of the refractive index n (r) of the core layer sheet 11 represents the distance from the feed source to the core layer (the first In the embodiment, l represents the distance from the feed source to the matching layer close to it).
