The invention relates to a 1-bit dual-polarization transmission array antenna unit applied to a 5G
millimeter wave communication
relay, which is suitable for the field of mobile communication, and comprises a pair of receiving / transmitting antenna units which are symmetrically arranged in an upper and lower structure overturning manner, and a single receiving / transmitting antenna unit comprises four groups of double-layer stacked patch units surrounded by cavities, the device comprises a power divider, a
power division network formed by a strip line, a 1-bit digital phase shifter formed by a 3-dB directional coupler, two
PIN diode switches connected in series at the
tail end of the phase shifter, and a
capacitive coupling structure. The patch and the
power division network, the
power division network and the
PIN diode, and the power division network and the
capacitive coupling structure are connected through vertical metalized via holes; by changing the states of the two
PIN diode switches of the receiving / transmitting antenna at the same time, the phase shifter can provide two phase changes of 0 degree and 180 degrees; according to the invention, two PIN diodes are utilized to control four groups of
patch antenna units at the same time, the high-precision
beam scanning characteristic in a 1-bit dual-polarization two-dimensional plane is realized, the number of
active devices is reduced, and the loss and
power consumption of the antenna units are reduced.
