Abstract

The invention provides a three-dimensional metamaterial decoupling structure used for a microstrip array antenna. The structure comprises a public grounding plate, a dielectric substrate on the public grounding plate, two rectangular radiation patches symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate, and two coaxial feed ports, wherein five three-dimensional metamaterial decoupling units are embedded in the portion, between the two rectangular radiation patches, in the dielectric substrate in a row. By embedding the five three-dimensional metamaterial decoupling units in a dielectric between microstrip antenna array elements, intercoupling between the microstrip antenna array elements is effectively reduced, and accordingly the isolation of an antenna array is improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a three-dimensional metamaterial decoupling structure for a microstrip array antenna. Background technique

[0002] Since the array antenna has high gain and strong directivity, it can improve transmission capacity and transmission quality. In recent years, antenna arrays have been widely used in the field of radio communication. At the same time, with the development of wireless communication technology, users' requirements for the integration of communication equipment are increasing year by year, and the research on the miniaturization of array antennas has also received more and more attention. The isolation between the elements of the antenna array will affect the performance of the wireless communication system, such as the radiation efficiency of the antenna or the error of amplitude and phase. Therefore, research on antenna arrays has always been restricted by bottlenecks such as mutual coupling between array elements...
