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

Embodiment 3

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, a phased array is composed of several serial-parallel feed sub-arrays arranged periodically along the vertical direction of the sub-array. Metal phase perturbation branches 15 are loaded around the head and tail ends of the strip feed lines 7 of the sub-arrays, so as to improve the isolation between adjacent series-parallel feed sub-arrays.

[0058] The metal phase perturbation branch is arranged on the same layer or different layer as the strip feeder to improve the isolation of adjacent series-parallel feed sub-arrays, and the metal phase perturbation branch of the phased array is symmetrical according to the mirror symmetry axis.

[0059] The scanning range of the phased array is determined by the distance between adjacent serial-parallel sub-arrays. The smaller the distance, the larger the scanning range. Generally less than half a wavelength, so the size of the broadband high-efficiency antenna element along the beam scanning direction sho...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communications, in particular to a broadband high-efficiency antenna unit, a serial-parallel feed sub-array and a phased array. Background technique [0002] Phased array antennas have a wide range of applications in the military and communications fields. In early radar systems, the beam direction of the array antenna was fixed, and the beam direction needs to be controlled by mechanical scanning. Compared with the traditional fixed beam array, the phased array antenna can quickly and accurately It can control the beam to perform inertia-free scanning, and realize the function of searching and tracking multiple targets at the same time in the designated space. Phased array antennas were originally used in military radars to observe and track airframe 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, ...
