Problems solved by technology

For example, the entire row and column phase shifting method of Raytheon Company of the United States reduces the number of phase shifters, but also increases the overall height of the antenna; the VICTS antenna of Xinkang Company of the United States, although the beam scanning range becomes larger, it is about ±70 °, which is larger than the beam scanning range of the world's most advanced phased array antenna ±65°, but the antenna needs to be mechanically rotated by multiple components, and its reliability and application scenarios will be affected to a certain extent
Harbin Institute of Technology, China An electronically controlled zero-crossing scanning waveguide leaky-wave antenna using liquid crystal material permittivity ε r With the change of bias voltage, the guide wavelength of the waveguide feeding the leaky wave antenna is changed to realize beam scanning. This design can only realize beam scanning in a limited range (-8.2° to 9.3°), and the scanning range is only 17.5°. And the beam can only scan in one dimension

Abstract

The invention mainly belongs to the technical field of microwaves and millimeter waves and particularly relates to a phased array antenna based on meta-material electromagnetic characteristics. The phased array antenna comprises a microstrip patch antenna unit and a feed device. The microstrip patch antenna unit comprises a positive electrode, a dielectric substrate and a negative electrode. The microstrip patch antenna unit adopts a metamaterial as the dielectric substrate. By applying a bias voltage to the metamaterial dielectric substrate and changing the dielectric constant [Epsilon]r of the metamaterial dielectric substrate, a microstrip patch unit to which the bias voltage is applied is enabled in a resonant condition. A microstrip patch unit to which the bias voltage is not applied is not in the resonant condition, to achieve sparsification of the phased array antenna unit. The phased array antenna unit of the present invention controls the excitation phase of the activated radiation unit more precisely so as to improve the pointing accuracy of the main beam of the antenna, increase the antenna gain, reduce the antenna side lobe level, expand the antenna beam scanning range and extend the working bandwidth of the antenna.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly belongs to the technical field of microwave and millimeter wave antennas, and in particular relates to a phased array antenna based on the electromagnetic properties of metamaterials, which is widely used in communication and radar systems. Background technique [0002] Since World War II, phased array antenna technology has gone through four stages of development: passive phased array antenna, active phased array antenna, bidirectional phased array antenna and monolithic microwave integrated circuit phased array antenna. [0003] At present, with the rapid development of microelectronics technology, the important components of phased array antennas, such as T / R modules and phase shifters, can be highly integrated on microchips, which greatly reduces the cost of phased array antennas. The profile and weight of the antenna, but the high cost of this type of phased array antenna limits the popularization and application of the phased...
