Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of FP resonant cavity antenna technology, specifically relating to a miniaturized beam-scanning Fabry-Perot (FP) resonant cavity antenna with broadband gain improvement characteristics. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of antenna technology, FP resonant cavity antennas have been used by researchers to improve antenna gain due to their advantages such as high efficiency, high gain, simple structure and ease of manufacturing.

[0003] A typical FP resonant cavity antenna consists of three parts: a feed, a metallic ground, and a partially reflecting surface (PRS). Electromagnetic waves emitted from the feed undergo multiple reflections and transmissions between the ground and the PRS. Simultaneously, the transmitted electromagnetic waves superimpose in phase on the outer surface of the PRS, thereby increasing the antenna's gain. However, because FP resonant cavity antennas are a type of cavity antenna, their 3dB gain bandwidth is very narrow, and their size is generally large, significantly limiting their application in many practical situations. Therefore, expanding the bandwidth of FP resonant cavity antennas while simultaneously achieving miniaturization presents a challenge for antenna designers.

[0004] Currently, many researchers are attempting to utilize FP resonant cavities to improve antenna gain and extend gain bandwidth. For example, patent CN114843792A proposes a broadband FP resonant cavity antenna in which the PRS layer and feed source form a broadband resonance within the antenna cavity. This invention achieves a 3dB gain bandwidth of 8.8–11.2 GHz, with a relative bandwidth of 24%, which is relatively narrow. Patent CN115084845A proposes another broadband FP resonant cavity antenna. In this invention, the PRS layer is composed of honeycomb-arranged PRS units, achieving a 3dB gain bandwidth of 7.96–11.04 GHz, with a relative bandwidth of 32.4%, but the 3dB gain bandwidth extension effect is not good. Patent CN113067165B discloses a broadband miniaturized FP resonant cavity antenna. The antenna's PRS layer consists of two dielectric substrates and four layers of periodically arranged hexagonal metal patch elements, exhibiting a relative impedance bandwidth of 34.2%, a relative 3dB gain bandwidth of 34.3%, and dimensions of 1.84 × 1.84 × 0.63λ. 3 The antenna's structural design is relatively complex, the 3dB gain bandwidth improvement is very limited, and it does not achieve the goal of miniaturization of the antenna well.

[0005] The above solutions all utilize FP resonant cavity antennas to improve gain and increase gain bandwidth. However, the publicly disclosed FP resonant cavity antennas have limited effect on widening the 3dB gain bandwidth, and the antenna size is large, limiting their practical application scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a miniaturized beam-scanning FP resonant cavity antenna with broadband gain improvement characteristics. This antenna extends the impedance bandwidth of the feed antenna and improves the gain of the feed antenna in a wide range, with a wide 3dB gain bandwidth and gain improvement bandwidth. At the same time, the antenna maintains a small size and has a frequency scanning function of about 0 to 37°, which greatly expands the application scenarios of the antenna.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0017] The side length P of each of the aforementioned partial reflective units is 17mm. The outer side length L1 of the outer square ring is 17mm. The distance S2 between the outer and inner sides of the outer square ring is 2mm. The outer square ring includes two openings, one of which has a center distance d3 = 7.5mm from the boundary of the partial reflective unit. The opening length of the outer square ring is d1 = 2.5mm, and the width is W1 = 1.5mm. The two openings of the outer square ring are centrally symmetrical about the center of the partial reflective unit. The outer side length L2 of the inner square ring is 12.5mm. The distance S1 between the outer and inner sides of the inner square ring is 1mm. The inner square ring includes two openings, one of which has a center distance d3 = 7.5mm from the boundary of the partial reflective unit. The distance d3 = 7.5 mm between the center of the opening and the boundary of the partial reflective unit; the opening length of the inner square ring is d1 = 2.5 mm and the width is S1 = 1 mm; the two openings of the inner ring are centrally symmetrical about the center of the partial reflective unit; the side length W2 of the large square metal patch is 2 mm, and it is set at the center of the partial reflective unit; the side length W3 = 1 mm of the four small square metal patches are set around the large square metal patch, respectively opposite to the four corners of the large square metal patch; the lateral spacing d2 and the longitudinal spacing d4 between the small square metal patches and the central large square metal patch are both 0.1 mm.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The antenna structure of this invention includes a partial reflective surface (PRS) layer, a feed source, a vertical metal ground, and a horizontal reflective surface. The PRS layer mainly consists of 3×3 partially reflective elements, including upper and lower metal patches. The horizontal reflective surface and the PRS layer form a cavity, one side of which is sealed by the vertical metal ground. The feed source is placed at the center of the vertical metal ground, and the horizontal reflective surface is below the feed source. Capacitive coupling occurs between the metal patches of the PRS layer when the feed source radiates, resulting in multiple resonant points, which further widens the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. At the same time, the PRS layer can achieve in-phase superposition of transmitted waves over a wide range, which can improve the antenna gain while achieving a wide 3dB gain bandwidth.

[0023] 1. Compared with traditional FP resonant cavity antennas, the FP resonant cavity antenna of this invention has a wider gain improvement characteristic, which can realize in-phase superposition of transmitted waves over a wide bandwidth and improve the gain over a wide frequency band. Ultimately, the 3dB gain bandwidth achieved by this invention is 7.07–12.24 GHz, with a relative 3dB gain bandwidth of 54%, and the gain improvement bandwidth is 3.3–15.9 GHz, with a relative bandwidth of 131.3%.

[0024] 2. The PRS layer designed in this invention has good spread spectrum function. The metal patches in the PRS layer can generate effective capacitive coupling, realizing resonance in a wide range and greatly widening the impedance bandwidth of the feed antenna. After adding the PRS layer, the impedance bandwidth is increased from 7.68~13.25GHz (relative bandwidth 52.2%) to 6.51~15.9GHz (relative bandwidth 84%), which is a wider operating bandwidth compared with other FP resonant cavity antennas.

[0025] 3. The FP resonant cavity antenna of this invention is smaller in size than the traditional FP resonant cavity antenna (size is 1.2 × 1.2 × 0.6λ). 3 The area is 51×51mm (1.2×1.2λ). 2With a cross-sectional height of 25.68mm (0.60λ), it has a smaller volume, thus occupying less space, being more compact, having a simple structure, and being easy to process.

[0026] 4. The vertical metal ground of this invention reflects electromagnetic waves, enabling the antenna to have frequency scanning characteristics within the 7.07–12.24 GHz operating frequency band. It can achieve main beam scanning function within an angle range of 0–37°, expanding the application scenarios of the antenna and making it highly valuable in fields such as satellite communication and radar.
