Embodiment Construction

[0035] A technical solution based on a quasi-surface plasmon waveguide array antenna according to the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the implementation example.

[0036] FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of the array antenna, including a quasi-surface plasmon waveguide 11 with a periodic structure and an array unit 12 . Figure 1(a) is a top view of the antenna array, and Figure 1(b) is a side view of the antenna array. The quasi-surface plasmon waveguide 11 is used as a series coupling feed network of the array, and there is an electric field component perpendicular to the surface of the medium in the medium and the upper surface covered by the quasi-surface plasmon waveguide 11, which is periodically distributed along the propagation direction. The distribution can excite the microstrip patch array unit 12, and by adjusting the distance bet...

Abstract

The invention discloses a frequency scanning array antenna based on a quasi-surface plasmon waveguide. The frequency scanning array antenna based on the quasi-surface plasmon waveguide is characterized in that an array element is coupled and excited through the quasi-surface plasmon waveguide and the range and the phase, which need exciting, of the array element are acquired through the adjustment of the position of the array element to achieve required radiation characteristics. A plurality of advantages are centralized on the array antenna with the quasi-surface plasmon waveguide as a feed network, the efficiency of the feed network is high, the antenna is simple in structure, frequency scanning can be achieved and various polarization characteristics can be achieved through changing of the form of the array element. A plurality of embodiments are given and a specific example simulation result is finally given. Other specific embodiments can be formed based on the same idea after the structure of the quasi-surface plasmon waveguide is reasonably changed and different array element forms are adopted. The frequency scanning array antenna based on the quasi-surface plasmon waveguide can be used for wireless communication and radar systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of wireless communication technology and radar technology, and in particular relates to a frequency scanning array antenna based on a quasi-surface plasmon waveguide, which can be used in communication systems such as microwave, millimeter wave, and terahertz. Background technique [0002] As a key component of communication and radar systems, antenna arrays provide the possibility for high-efficiency radiation and reception of electromagnetic waves, that is, the conversion of electromagnetic signals from guided wave mode to radiation mode in free space, or vice versa. Due to the need for beam scanning, early antenna arrays were scanned mechanically, but the speed of beam scanning was very slow. At the same time, once the antenna array design was completed, the array beam was fixed and could not be flexibly controlled. The phased array antenna uses the independent control of the excitation phase and amplitude of each ...
