Abstract

The invention relates to a low-profile conformal antenna, which comprises a feed network, a dielectric substrate, a metal sheet and a metal back cavity plate which are fixedly connected in a layered manner in sequence. The overall low-profile conformal antenna is in an arc-shaped lath form; the profile height is 1/30-1/50 of wavelength of the center frequency of the low-profile conformal antenna and is much less than those of a waveguide slot antenna and a microstrip patch; and the requirement of a modern carrier on low air resistance is met. The feed network comprises an input end and at least four output ends; at least four radiating slots are evenly distributed in the metal sheet; at least four cavities are evenly distributed on one side surface of the metal back cavity plate; and a coaxial feed joint is arranged at the middle part of the other side surface of the metal back cavity plate. More than two low-profile conformal antennas are connected in parallel to form a low-profile conformal antenna array. The low-profile conformal antenna easily conforms to various carriers, and is simple in structure and convenient to process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, in particular to a low profile conformal antenna. Background technique [0002] Antennas are an essential part of wireless communication systems. With the development of science and technology, modern carriers such as aircraft, ships, and satellites have higher and higher requirements for antennas, especially for high-speed aircraft. The weight requirement is particularly strict. The traditional antenna that is directly welded on the carrier shell has a high profile and high air resistance, which is difficult to meet the streamlined design of the modern carrier. Therefore, it is very meaningful to study the antenna conformal to the surface of the carrier, with low profile and miniaturization. [0003] The slot antenna is a common type of antenna that is easy to conform to the carrier. It has the advantages of compact structure and small volume, and is often given priority when designing the an...
