Problems solved by technology

In the paper "Space-time-coding digital metasurfaces", Lei Zhang et al. of Southeast University proposed a space-time coded digital metasurface for reflection, which uses low digits (less number of phases) to achieve high digits (more phases) number), but its optimization goal is to make the amplitude of the unit approximately equal at the center frequency, and the amplitude at the sideband frequency is as low as possible. As mentioned earlier, such a design will not be able to achieve ideal amplitude weighting

Embodiment

[0061] Consider a rectangular four-dimensional transmission array, the feed source is located on the central axis of the transmission array, the size of the array is M×N=16×16, and each transmission array unit has four phases, namely φ mn = 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°, within a time modulation cycle, select the corresponding turn-on sequence and duration according to the optimized timing. Wherein, the phase selection order is consistent in a 2×2=4 unit sub-array. The reference array is a Chebyshev planar array with 16×16=256 units.

[0062] Other main parameters are:

[0063] d=d x = d y =0.5λ, F / D=0.817, when the beam scans to 15° in azimuth, 30° in azimuth, 45° in azimuth, 45° in elevation, and 45° in D, δ=10^(-30 / 20), When scanning to the azimuth plane of 55 degrees, δ=10^(-28 / 20).

[0064] The low sidelobe pattern is comprehensively scanned using the optimization steps mentioned in the Summary of the Invention. In the first step, the low sidelobe pattern is scanned at the ce...

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-side lobe scanning method of a low-cost four-dimensional transmission array antenna. The innovation of the present invention is to combine the four-dimensional antenna theory with the 2-bit reconfigurable transmission array antenna technology controlled by PIN diodes, and use the transmission array unit with 2-bit phase shift to replace a large number of T / R components, avoiding complex The bulky feed structure effectively reduces manufacturing costs; by introducing a periodic time modulation function to each transmission array unit, the amplitude and phase range of each unit is expanded, thereby achieving low sidelobe scanning characteristics; low sidelobe scanning pattern synthesis That is, the timing design process of the time modulation function is completed in two stages: firstly, the central frequency pattern is synthesized according to the convex optimization, and the four phase conduction durations are reduced to one variable by using certain constraints; then, the differential evolution algorithm is used to Suppresses the sideband level. The invention can be used in wireless communication and radar systems.
