Abstract

Background. The need to create antenna-waveguide paths for multi-band reflector antennas of satellite communication systems requires the use of various methods for selecting the structure, determining and optimizing the parameters of antenna-waveguide paths. Aim. Development of a mathematical model of antenna-waveguide paths of multi-band reflector antennas, built on the basis of the «polarization separation – frequency separation» method with the implementation of the auto-tracking function. Methods. A mathematical model of antenna-waveguide paths of multi-band reflector antennas, built on the basis of the «polarization separation – frequency separation» method, allows us to determine the main characteristics of antenna-waveguide paths and incoming devices with an auto-tracking function. Results. The main elements of the mathematical model of multi-band antenna-waveguide paths built on the basis of the «polarization separation – frequency separation» method are determined. Conclusion. A mathematical model has been proposed that makes it possible to reduce the requirements for the computing tools used when developing antenna-waveguide paths in terms of RAM capacity and performance. The ability to analyze and determine the characteristics of antenna-waveguide paths using a mathematical model has been implemented. The stages of determining the parameters of antenna-waveguide paths are presented, based on the developed mathematical model of the corresponding design option, as well as theoretical and experimental data confirming the correctness of the model of antenna-waveguide paths.
