Problems solved by technology

However, the deficiencies that still exist in this antenna structure are, first, because the antenna structure is fixed, the antenna can only work at a single operating frequency and a single polarization mode, which cannot meet the needs of radar and communication systems for multifunctional antenna systems
Second, although the antenna realizes beam scanning, the antenna can only realize discrete beam scanning and cannot realize beam continuous scanning
However, the deficiencies of this antenna structure still exist. First, due to the fixed structure of the antenna, the antenna can only work at a single operating frequency and a single polarization mode, which limits the application range of the antenna and cannot meet the needs of radar and communication systems. The Need for a Multi-Functional Antenna System
Second, although the antenna realizes beam scanning, it adopts a mechanical rotation structure, which can only realize discrete beam pointing, and cannot realize continuous beam scanning
[0005] To sum up, the current microstrip reflectarray antenna is facing two problems. One is that the existing microstrip reflectarray antenna can only work at a single operating frequency and a single polarization mode due to its fixed structure, which cannot meet the needs of radar and communication. System requirements for multifunctional antenna systems
The second is that the existing traditional beam-scanning microstrip reflectarray antenna loaded with MEMS switches and digital phase shifters can only realize discrete beam scanning and cannot realize beam continuous scanning

Abstract

The invention discloses a dual-band dual-polarization wave-beam-controllable microstrip reflective array antenna. The dual-band dual-polarization wave-beam-controllable microstrip reflective array antenna comprises a dielectric substrate, a reflective structure and an antenna feed source, wherein M*N periodically-arranged metal patch units are etched on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate; M and N are integers, wherein M is greater than 1 and less than 50; N is greater than 1 and less than 50; the reflective structure is positioned on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate; a metal floor structure is adopted; and the antenna feed source is positioned in the upper half space of a radiation structure. By adoption of the dual-band dual-polarization wave-beam-controllable microstrip reflective array antenna, the problem that continuous wave-beam scanning cannot be realized by a conventional microstrip reflective array antenna which can only work in a single-band or single-polarization mode is solved; by employing the metal patch units and variable capacitance diodes, the dual-band dual-polarization wave-beam-controllable microstrip reflective array antenna realizes reconfigurable frequency, reconfigurable polarization and wave-beam continuous scanning, thereby satisfying requirements of a radar and a communication system on multifunctional caliber multiplexing; and therefore, the dual-band dual-polarization wave-beam-controllable microstrip reflective array antenna can be applied to the wireless communication field.
