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, the profile can be reduced to a certain extent, but the profile height is lower than λ 0 / 4 wide-angle, broadband scanning array is still very difficult, such as the tightly coupled dipole array in the document "Dual-Polarized Tightly Coupled Array With SubstrateLoading" (IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters), although ultra-wide bandwidth angular scanning has been achieved , but even ignoring the height of the feed balun below the ground, the profile of the antenna layer is approximately λ 0 / 2

The E surface is the xoz surface, and the center of the array element is used as the reference. There are 16 sub-arrays arranged on the arc surface with a radius of 250 mm and an angle range of 44 degrees; the internal arrangement direction of the sub-array is the H surface, that is, the yoz surface. A subarray consists of three units.

[0035] The center unit of the conformal array scans the active standing wave from the side-fire to 60 degrees on the E plane.

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 multi-form conformal phased array antenna. The antenna is a planar array or a conformal array composed of array elements, and each array element includes a wide-angle broadband matching layer, a feeding balun layer, a radiation antenna layer, an artificial magnetic surface layer, and a dielectric layer stacked from top to bottom. Isolation layer, and floor. The invention replaces the vertical feed balun in the traditional continuous current surface antenna with a horizontal capacitively coupled feed patch above the dipole, and uses an artificial metamaterial wide-angle broadband matching layer and an artificial magnetic surface to ensure The wide-angle and wide-band scanning characteristics of the antenna greatly reduce the antenna profile, and it is suitable for the plane or cylinder conformal of wide-angle and wide-band scanning phased array antennas in high-speed communication systems.

Background technique [0002] Broadband phased array antenna is an important component of modern high-speed communication systems. For example, in an electronic countermeasure system, a broadband phased array antenna can replace multiple sets of narrowband antennas, which can greatly save weight, volume and cost. In recent years, multi-functional integrated phased array antennas such as wide-angle broadband scanning and low profile have become a research hotspot. Compared with planar antenna arrays, conformal antenna arrays have more advantages when assembled on aircraft...
