Embodiment 1

[0070] The thin film lens 1 is composed of a three-layer flexible circuit, and its basic metal resonant unit 3 is a regular hexagonal ring, such as image 3 As shown, a triangular lattice arrangement is adopted, and the lattice constant p=100mm.

[0071] First, set the circumcircle radius R of the hexagonal ring 1 =49mm, adjust the radius R of the inscribed circle of the hexagonal ring 2 , carry out parameter scanning, and simulate the transmission characteristics of the periodic array, the results are as follows Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown. Through the simulation analysis, it can be seen that when the radius R of the inscribed circle of the hexagon 2 When changing in the range of 5mm to 48mm, the transmittance of the working frequency of 1GHz is always maintained at a relatively high level, thus effectively ensuring the wave transmission efficiency of the structure. By collating the simulation data results, one can get R 2 The corresponding relationship with the transmi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a lens type foldable and expandable thin film antenna. The lens type foldable and expandable thin film antenna comprises a thin film lens, a microwave feed source and an expandable mechanism, wherein the thin film lens comprises at least one layer of flexible circuit; the flexible circuit consists of copper-clad flexible substrates of multiple metal resonance units which are manufactured through a photoetching process; the microwave feed source adopts a microwave antenna form, has the gain of less than 10dB and is positioned in a theoretical focal point of the thin film lens; and the expandable mechanism is connected with the thin film lens and used for realizing folding and expanding of the thin film lens. The lens type foldable and expandable thin film antenna has the characteristic of realizing a focusing lens effect by adopting the foldable and expandable thin film lens with the focusing function; and by combination with the microwave feed source structure, the feed source positioned in the theoretical focal point can pass through the thin film lens and then can radiate high-gain antenna wave beams.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of antennas, in particular to a lens-type foldable and unfoldable film antenna and a size design method thereof. Background technique [0002] Space-borne antennas require a long operating distance, a large monitoring range, and high gain. Therefore, large-aperture antennas must be used. The caliber of such antennas often reaches tens of square meters or even hundreds of square meters. Large space-borne antennas account for a large proportion of satellite launch costs. The reason is not only the need to increase thrust, but also the volume of the launch vehicle fairing. [0003] With the development of space science and technology, the conventional antenna structure can no longer meet the requirements of large-diameter antennas. When the size of the antenna exceeds the range that the fairing of the space vehicle can accommodate, the antenna is required to be folded and stored in the fairing during the launc...
