GARY L. FORBES 1 rnoxmrrv suzs MICROS'IRIP ANTENNA BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The prior art contains several types of antennas or radiators for use with missiles and the like. Examples are: the slot antenna, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,296,6I6,issued to John A.
- Kuecken on Jan. 3, I967; the folded slot antenna, disclosed in SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention provides an energy radiator which has particular utility in aproximity fuze. In one preferred form, the radiator comprises a first conductor arranged so that an imperfect ground plane (hereinafter called ground plane") for the conductor embraces the missile and the conductor is in a coaxial relation to the ground plane and disposed radially slightly outwardly thereof. A second conductor constitutes a parastic element and is disposed radially slightly outwardly of the first conductor. The voltage node os the parastic element is electrically approximately displaced with respect to the voltage node of the first-mentioned conductor and the radiator is excited in a balanced mode with respect to the ground plane and the first-mentioned conductor in such a manner that the first conductor and the parasitical element are excited in aiding phase relationship.
The present invention constitutes a novel approach in energy radiators and particularly in its utilization of readily available components and its facility of manufacture.
A primary object of the invention is to achieve radio frequency radiation from two conductors which are placed closely together and close to the ground plane.
Another objectof the invention is to provide a radiator which is not directly affected in its electrical performance by the configuration of the munition body in which the radiator is installed.
A further object of the invention is to provide a radiator which is rnade'up primarily by the usage of a readily available type of transmission line component.
For a better understanding of the invention together with further objects, advantages, and capabilities thereof, reference is made to the following description of the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one form of the invention, in a linear configuration;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partially cut away, of second embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of the embodiment of the invention of FIG. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring first to FIG. 1, there is shown a radiator of high frequency energy comprising a simple piece of MICROSTRIP to which has been added a half-wave parastic element. The expression MICROSTRIP as herein used has reference to the type of transmission line disclosed in an article entitled MICROSTRIP Plus Equations Adds up to Fast Designs," Electronics, Oct. 2, 1967 (New York: McGraw-Hill), Pp. 109- up of a ground plane ll, dielectric l2, and a flat conductor 13, hereinafter variously referred to as the first conductor or the inner conductor. The ends of the conductor 13 are radio frequency open circuits. The MICROSTRIP is mounted in any suitable object I0, such as a projectile, where 10 and 11 may be one and the same. Spaced from the conductor 13 is a onehalf-wave length parasitic conductor I4, hereinafter sometimes referred to as the outer conductor or second conductor. The outer conductor is a radio frequency open circuit at both ends. The broken-away section 16 of first conductor 13 constitutes a balanced driving point. A radiation generator 9, such 'as an oscillating transistor supplies the input feed of radio frequency energy at this point.
This embodiment of the invention consists simply of a halfwave MICROSTRIP line (equivalent of a half-wave open circuited line) plus a half-wave open circuited parasitic line. Voltage nodes exist in the vicinity of the centers of both conductors as far as all lines are concerned. Radiation is achieved by reason of cophasal, i.e., aiding or in-phase, electrical excitation of the lines and radio frequency losses in the ground plane.
Antennas achieve radiated energy by reason of an unbalance of currents. In accordance with the invention, a MICROSTRIP transmission line is slightly modified by the provision of the parastic element and the modified form is made to radiate energy by exciting the elements 13 and 14 in aiding fashion. The unbalanced current is obtained due to the imperfect ground plane. The structure illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises essentially a half-wave MICROSTRIP line (which is the equivalent of a half-wave open circuited line) plus a parasticly fed one half-wave open circuited line. Since the current coupling is stronger than the voltage coupling between the two lines 13 and 14, the excitation is aiding or cophasal in time.
Those versed in the art are aware that the requirement that an antenna must operate very close to a ground plane, or that it have a very limited depth, constitutes a rigorous design constraint. The use of MICROSTRIP and the parastic element in accordance with the invention, meets this requirement in a very simple manner.
Reference is now made to a preferred form of the invention as-illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 in which similar elements having the same function as in the FIG. 1 embodiment are numbered the same with a prime mark added. The MICROS- TRIP element there shown is in a circular configuration and it comprises the ground plane 11' and the first conductor 13'. Again, note that in this embodiment the element or second conductor 14' is a half-wave element. Note further that the voltage maximum point 18 of the element 14 is electrically 180 angularly displaced from the voltage nodal point 15 of the split half-wave line 13'. The nodal point of the half-wave dipole I3 is connected to the ground 11' by means of the shorting bar 15'. The dipole 13' is energized by voltage connected to the high impedance points 20 and 21. The voltages applied to 20 and 21 are 180 out of phase.
The antenna illustrated in FIG. 2 includes the dielectric elements 12A and 128. The bomblet or missile 10 is grooved and the antenna in accordance with FIG. 2 is simply wrapped around the bomblet, the ground plane element 11' of the MICROSTRIP being in contact with the metallic body of the bomblet 10'. Therefore, 10' and II are one and the same.
In the FIG. 2 embodiment the outer conductor 14' may be spaced 0.100 inch from the body of the bomblet, to provide an illustration. That is to say, a spacing of the outermost surface of the antenna from the body of the bomblet may be on the order of 1/100 of a wave length.
While present exemplary embodiments of this invention have been illustrated and described, it will be recognized that this invention may be otherwise variously embodied and practiced by those skilled in the art.
