Abstract
경면수정 오프셋 그레고리안 반사경 안테나는 고이득, 저 사이드로브 특성 때문에 위성 통신 시스템에 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 CATR(Compact Antenna Test Region)을 위한 반사경 시스템으로 설계하고 그 근접 전계 특성을 조사하였다. CATR은 시험 영역에 진폭과 위상 리플이 작고 교차 편파가 낮은 균일 평면파를 제공하여야 한다. 따라서 근접 전계를 개구면의 전력 분포, 급전 혼의 복사 패턴, 개구면과 시험 영역까지의 거리 변화에 따라 계산하여 나타냈다. 또한, 30 GHz에서 동작하는 경면수정 오프셋 복반사경을 제작하고 근접전계를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 측정치와 계산치가 비슷하게 나타났다. 이로서 본 논문에서 설계된 경면수정 오프셋 복반사경은 콤팩트 안테나 테스트 레인지로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. Gregorian offset dual-shaped reflector antennas have been widely used in the satellite communication systems for their high gain and low sidelobe characteristics. However, in this paper, it is designed as the CATR(Compact Antenna Test Range) reflector system, and its near-field characteristics are investigated. The CATR facility needs to provide an uniform plane wave with the minimum amplitude and phase ripple and the low cross polarization to the test region. Therefore, the reflector near-field patterns are calculated and presented with the variations of the aperture power distribution, the feed horn pattern, and the distance from the aperture to the test zone. Also, the offset dual-shaped reflector is fabricated at 30 GHz, and its near-field patterns are measured. The measured results are in good agreement with the calculated results. From theses results, we confirm that the designed offset dual-shaped reflector can be used as the reflector system for the compact antenna test range.
