Problems solved by technology

[0004] The disadvantage of the traditional continuous current surface antenna array is that its section height often requires a quarter of the wavelength of the center frequency (λ 0 /4) Above, the main factor limiting its profile is the equivalent inductance from the ground, and in order to achieve unidirectional radiation and high gain, the ground is indispensable
Although capacitive coupling is introduced through the capacitance of the gap between adjacent array elements to offset the ground inductance,

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of antenna engineering and wireless communication, and relates to an all-dielectric integrated ultra-wideband low-profile polymorphic conformal phased array antenna. The antenna is a planar array or a conformal array composed of array elements; each array element comprises a wide-angle broadband matching layer, a feed balun layer, a radiation antenna layer, an artificial magnetic surface layer, a dielectric isolation layer and a ground plate which are stacked from top to bottom. According to the all-dielectric integrated ultra-wideband low-profile polymorphic conformal phased array antenna of the invention, a vertical feed balun in a traditional continuous current surface antenna is replaced by a feed patch which is capacitively coupled in the horizontal direction above a dipole; the artificial metamaterial wide-angle broadband matching layer and the artificial magnetic surface are adopted, so that the wide-angle broadband scanning characteristic of the antenna is ensured, and the profile of the antenna is greatly reduced at the same time. The antenna is suitable for the fields of planar or cylindrical conformal wide-angle and broadband scanning phased-array antennas in high-speed communication systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of antenna engineering and wireless communication, and relates to an all-dielectric integrated ultra-wideband low-profile multi-morphology conformal phased array antenna, which is suitable for planar or cylindrical coaxiality of wide-angle and wide-band scanning phased array antennas in high-speed communication systems. shape. Background technique [0002] Broadband phased array antennas are an important component of modern high-speed communication systems. For example, in an electronic countermeasure system, a wideband phased array antenna can replace multiple sets of narrowband antennas, which can greatly save weight, volume and cost. In recent years, phased array antennas integrating wide-angle broadband scanning and low-profile functions have become a research hotspot. Compared with planar antenna arrays, conformal antenna arrays have more advantages when assembled on aircraft, missiles, and high-speed v...
