Problems solved by technology

However, in the millimeter wave frequency band, the transmission loss of electromagnetic waves in space will increase significantly. Using a single or a small number of antenna units, the gain is low, and the normal transmission of signals cannot be guaranteed. The antenna array has high gain and can achieve long-distance signal transmission; but the array exists Narrow beam width and low radiation efficiency make it impossible to achieve low energy consumption and wide-angle signal coverage

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a broadband high-efficiency antenna unit, a serial-parallel feed subarray and a phased array. Background technique [0002] Phased array antennas are widely used in military and communication fields. In early radar systems, the beam direction of the array antenna was fixed, and the beam direction needed to be controlled by mechanical scanning. Compared with the traditional fixed beam array, the phased array antenna can quickly and accurately The ground control beam performs inertialess scanning, and realizes the function of searching and tracking multiple targets at the same time in a designated space. Phased array antennas were originally used in military radars for the purpose of observing and tracking aircraft targets in a wide range of space. With the development of wireless communication technology, phased array technology has also begun to be used in civilian products, such as au...
