Satellite communications for many sparsely populated, inaccessible and remote areas, especially the Arctic regions and the Far North is the main form of communication. When organizing communication, it is required to receive signals with the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio. In satellite earth stations, axisymmetric reflector antennas are mainly used. In these areas, the angle of the antennas to the horizon does not exceed 20 degrees. There are problems in receiving signals at angles of inclination of axisymmetric reflector antennas to the horizon, not exceeding 20 degrees, by satellite earth stations. These problems are related to the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the antennas. At such angles of inclination of the reflector antennas to the horizon, thermal radio emission from the Earth's surface has a significant negative effect on the received signals. This radio emission increases the noise level and reduces the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the antenna. To reduce thermal radio emission received by reflector antennas from the Earth's surface and increase the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the antennas, a technique has been developed to increase the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature. This technique consists of three independent methods for increasing the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature, which can be used separately. For the convenience of choosing from existing methods for increasing the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature, the methodology takes into account the features of applicability of these methods for specific antennas.

Методика повышения шумовой добротности осесимметричных зеркальных антенн земных станций спутниковой связи

Спутниковая связь для многих малозаселенных, труднодоступных и удаленных территорий, особенно Арктических районов и Крайнего севера является основным видом связи. При организации связи требуется принимать сигналы с максимально возможным отношением сигнал/шум. В земных станциях спутниковой связи, в основном, применяются осесимметричные зеркальные антенны. На указанных территориях угол наклона антенн к горизонту не превышает 20 градусов. Существуют проблемы при приеме сигналов при углах наклона осесимметричных зеркальных антенн к горизонту, не превышающих 20 градусов, земными станциями спутниковой связи. Эти проблемы связаны с отношением сигнал/шум на выходе антенн. При таких углах наклона зеркальных антенн к горизонту тепловое радиоизлучение поверхности Земли оказывает существенное негативное влияние на принимаемые сигналы. Это радиоизлучение повышает уровень шумов и снижает отношение сигнал/шум на выходе антенны. Для снижения теплового радиоизлучения, принимаемого зеркальными антеннами от поверхности Земли, и повышения отношения сигнал/шум на выходе антенн разработана методика повышения шумовой добротности. Эта методика состоит из трех самостоятельных методов повышения шумовой добротности, которые могут использоваться отдельно. Для удобства выбора из существующих методов повышения шумовой добротности в методике учтены особенности применимости этих методов для конкретных антенн. Описан разработанный метод расчета шумовой добротности, позволяющий теоретически оценить изменения шумовой добротности за счет незамкнутых экранов на рефлекторе и контррефлекторе, а также за счет применения облучателей с несимметричной диаграммой направленности.

Introduction

There arc situations when, when receiving signals from satellite transponders of satellite communication systems located in a geostationary orbit, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is not enough to demodulate signals with minimal requirements. There are also situations when the SNR of signals provides a minimum information transfer rate, and to increase the information transfer rate, an increase in the SNR at the antenna output is required. In these situations, it is necessary to modernize the receiving path with axisymmetric reflector antennas.

Reception of signals from satellite transponders located in a geostationary orbit is carried out mainly on axisymmetric reflector antennas of satellite communications earth stations. These antennas should receive signals with the highest possible SNR. For this, an antenna reflector with a diameter of 2 meters with a horn feed or a feed in the form of the open end of a circular waveguide is used. Such antennas are mainly constructed according to the axisymmetric single-rellector scheme or the axisymmetric two-reflector Cassegrain scheme. They include a reflector and a counter-reflector with an antenna feed, a waveguide path and a low-noise amplifier-converter, and a slewing ring [1 ].

A characteristic that determines the SNR of signals at the antenna input at various angles of its inclination to the horizon is the antenna gain-to-noise-tempcralurc j £ j [2]. One of the options for increasing SNR at the output of re Hector antennas is the use of methods to increase the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature [3; 4; 5J. Each method has features of application and use. In this article, the developed methods are combined into one technique that can be used for any axisymmetric re Hector antenna of a satellite communications earth station.

The technique of increasing the antenna gain-to-noisc-temperature with axisymmctric reflector.

The technique consists of the following sequence of actions:

1. The following are determined from the technical documentation of the antenna: construction scheme, basic geometric parameters, attenuation or composition and lengths of the elements of the waveguide path and the range of received frequencies. The main geometric parameters of the antenna: reflector diameter (/}„); diameter of the counter-reflector (£>,.); reflector

opening angle {2y/„); counter-reflector opening angle (2%); the

maximum and minimum angles of inclination of the antenna to the horizon (a^ and «min) at which signals can be received at the installation site of the reflector antenna.

2. The value of the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature is measured. If these measurements are not possible, the SNR values of the signals periodically transmitted with a constant level are measured {the signals of the radio beacons of satellite transmitters can be used as such signals).

3. The organizational and technical capabilities of installing screens on a single-rellector reflector or a two-reflector antenna counter-reflector are determined, depending on its layout. If it is possible to install a screen on a single-reflector antenna, points 8-15 of this methodology are not fulfilled; on a two-reflector antenna, points 4-7 and 12-15 of this methodology are not fulfilled. If it is not possible to install screens, paragraphs 411 of this procedure are not performed.

4. The theoretical dependence of increasing the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature

on the angle of reflector shielding is determined (pR}.

5. The value of the screening angle of the reflector is determined from the obtained dependence in paragraph 4 by the criterion of maximum expression {1).

6. The geometric parameters of the screen are determined (Figure 3) at the value of the reflector screen angle defined in paragraph 5: screen depth (/;„), expression (16); screen opening

angle (r); perimeter length (£,,). expression (17). From the dependence of the screen depth on the solution angle Rr (r) , expression (16), the value of the solution angle is determined ai which the screen depth is minimal. The angle of the screen determines the shape of the screen if r = 0 the screen has a cylindrical shape, and if if r>0 is conical.

7. An open screen is made (based on the parameters calculated in paragraph 6 of this method) and is installed along the lower edge of the reflector.

8. The theoretical dependence of increasing the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature

y{ff,/?( (0))-j(a.0.0,F1f.(e))J on the screen angle of

the counter-reflector (/?,.) is determined.

9. From the obtained dependence in paragraph 8, the value of the screening angle of the counter-reflector is determined by the criterion of maximum expression (2).

10. The geometric parameters of an unclosed screen are determined based on the value /?, (Figure 4): screen depth (R, ), expression (18); perimeter lengths (£<}, expression (19). The

angle of the conical surface of the screen is equal to half the opening angle of the reflector. At this angle of the solution, the conical surface of the screen provides the maximum screening angle of the counter-reflector.

11. An open conical screen is made (based on the parameters calculated in paragraph 10 of this method) and installed on file bottom of the counter-reflector (Figure 4).

12. An antenna feed is selected that provides an asymmetric radiation pattern and an increase in the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature according to the criterion of the maximum of expressions (1) or (2) depending on its construction scheme. When choosing an antenna feed, the shape of the radiation pattern must be taken into account. If it is impossible to replace the standard antenna feed, it is necessary to change the geometric shape of the feed. Computer simulation tools such as AN SYS HFSS, CST STUDIO SUITE Antenna Magus or the like are used to determine the geometric shape of the antenna feed, which provides an increase in the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature.

13. The theoretical value of increasing the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature is determined using an antenna feed with an asymmetric radiation pattern (F,.rf-(y/)) and a standard antenna

feed (/> (<//)) ■ The calculation ^\a<\FiAv')) and ^(aAFJvA)

is made from expressions (1-15) taking into account the asymmetry FAtf (>//), while the angles, pK = 0 fff =0. If the radiation

7TT

pattern of the antenna feed is not known, then it is determined from expression (8).

14. An antenna feed with an asymmetric radiation pattern is selected that provides the maximum value of the theoretical increase in the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature.

15. The regular antenna feed is replaced with an antenna feed with an asymmetric radiation pattern (or the geometric shape of the standard antenna antenna feed is changing).

16. The measurement is carried out at the same value as in paragraph 2 of this methodology.

17. The value of increasing the antenna gain-to-noise-tcmperature is determined (as the difference in the values of the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature or SNR signals measured in paragraphs 7 and 2).

Method for calculating the antenna

gain-to-noise-temperature

A method has been developed for calculating the antenna gain-to-noise-temperature taking into account the effect of screens on the reflector and counter-reflector. Using this method, one can determine the change in the gain to the noise temperature of reflector antennas depending oil the shape of the asymmetric radiation pattern of the antenna feed.

Conclusion

The developed technique is universal for axisymmetric reflector antennas of satellite communications earth stations. Using the presented methodology in practice, it is possible to increase the SNR of the received signals to 1.5 dB from the satellites of the repeaters located in the geostationary orbit at the antenna Output. Parts of this technique have been successfully used in practice to increase the SNR of received signals. The use of open screens on the antenna reflector allows you to increase the SNR of the received signals by 1.5 dB. The use of open screens on the reflector of reflector antennas allows you to increase the SNR of the received signals by I dB. The use of antenna feeds with an asymmetric radiation pattern for axisymmetric reflector antennas can increase the SNR of the received signals by 0.8 dB.

Аннотация

Спутниковая связь для многих малозаселенных, труднодоступных и удаленных территорий, особенно Арктических районов и Крайнего севера является основным видом связи. При организации связи требуется принимать сигналы с максимально возможным отношением сигнал/шум. В земных станциях спутниковой связи, в основном, применяются осесимметричные зеркальные антенны. На указанных территориях угол наклона антенн к горизонту не превышает 20 градусов. Существуют проблемы при приеме сигналов при углах наклона осесимметричных зеркальных антенн к горизонту, не превышающих 20 градусов, земными станциями спутниковой связи. Эти проблемы связаны с отношением сигнал/шум на выходе антенн. При таких углах наклона зеркальных антенн к горизонту тепловое радиоизлучение поверхности Земли оказывает существенное негативное влияние на принимаемые сигналы. Это радиоизлучение повышает уровень шумов и снижает отношение сигнал/шум на выходе антенны. Для снижения теплового радиоизлучения, принимаемого зеркальными антеннами от поверхности Земли, и повышения отношения сигнал/шум на выходе антенн разработана методика повышения шумовой добротности. Эта методика состоит из трех самостоятельных методов повышения шумовой добротности, которые могут использоваться отдельно. Для удобства выбора из существующих методов повышения шумовой добротности в методике учтены особенности применимости этих методов для конкретных антенн. Описан разработанный метод расчета шумовой добротности, позволяющий теоретически оценить изменения шумовой добротности за счет незамкнутых экранов на рефлекторе и контррефлекторе, а также за счет применения облучателей с несимметричной диаграммой направленности.

Ключевые слова: спутниковая связь, земные станции, осесимметричные зеркальные антенны, шумовая добротность, методика повышения отношения сигнал шум.
