Problems solved by technology

For traditional polarization reconfigurable antennas, the method of loading PIN diodes in the antenna system is adopted, and the change of on-off realizes the switching of antenna polarization. However, in the high-frequency band, diodes will cause large insertion loss and high cost. Disadvantages, not suitable for the design and manufacture of high-gain, low-cost antennas

Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid crystal-based multi-polarization reconfigurable patch antenna. The antenna comprises an upper glass substrate (01), a first metal pattern layer (02), a liquid crystal layer (03), a second metal pattern layer (04), a lower glass substrate (05) and a patch antenna layer (06) distributed sequentially. According to the antenna of the invention, through the phase change between phase shift units, the amplitude ratio is changed, the polarization state of the radiation antenna is switched, the disadvantages of large insertion loss and high cost of an antenna unit due to the introduction of an active device in a traditional phase shift module are avoided, and the requirements of broadband and multiple polarization states of the unit antenna are met; the multi-layer composite structure design is adopted, direct current signals are prevented from interfering other modules; and a radiation layer and a transmission layer are separated, the bandwidth is increased, and interference is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid crystal antennas, in particular to a multi-polarization reconfigurable patch antenna based on liquid crystals. Background technique [0002] The rapid development of the information age has brought about a rapid increase in information flow, and modern social life is inseparable from communication systems. The antenna plays an indispensable role as a conversion module between the transmitting system and free space. The transmitting end loads the information on the microwave, reaches the antenna system through the transmission network, and designs different structures to generate directional or scanning beams. [0003] Broadband, large-capacity, multi-functional, miniaturized, and highly integrated antennas are the development trend of wireless communication networks, and the reconfigurability of a single antenna system has also become a design direction for people. For traditional polarization re...
