Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a design method for an aircraft ultra-wide bandwidth beam antenna, and in particular to a dielectric rod antenna based on a hybrid radiation mode and a design method thereof. Background Art
[0002] When an aircraft reaches Mach 5, its surface temperature can exceed 1000°C, exposing its internal antennas to the harsh high-temperature environment. This places even higher demands on the antenna's high-temperature resistance and thermal insulation. Furthermore, as the entry and exit window for radio waves, antennas play a crucial role in the performance of wireless communication systems. Traditional aircraft antennas have single functions and are distributed in a dispersed manner. With the increasing demand for aircraft communications, aircraft antennas with more functions are needed to support the corresponding communication systems. Using the traditional single-antenna distribution method would require a significant increase in the number of onboard antennas and the design of multiple antenna windows within the aircraft's structural cabin, posing challenges and risks to the aircraft's structural strength. Furthermore, as aircraft cabin dimensions continue to shrink, the space available for antenna openings is very limited. Therefore, it is crucial to design broadband, high-temperature-resistant antennas that integrate all functions.
[0003] Patent 202310176484.4 provides a structurally embedded X- and Ka-band wide-beam thermal antenna feed system, disclosing an antenna structure connecting a tapered, gradient-shaped alumina ceramic dielectric rod and a dielectric-filled rectangular waveguide transmission line. This dielectric rod antenna operates in the Ka-band, where the wavelength λ0 corresponding to the center frequency is relatively small. The dielectric rod's radiating section measures approximately 3.6λ0, and electromagnetic waves enter the dielectric rod and propagate in a traveling-wave radiation mode. Therefore, waveguide-fed dielectric rod antennas are easily designed for broadband and miniaturization in high-frequency bands. However, conventional approaches to dielectric rod antenna design make broadband and miniaturization difficult to achieve in low-frequency bands. This is because the radiation modes of metal waveguide and dielectric waveguide antennas are TE, TM, and mixed TE and TM modes. Their lower cutoff frequencies are inversely proportional to their size, making them difficult to meet small size requirements in low-frequency bands. Furthermore, the dielectric rod is essentially a dielectric waveguide with mixed TE and TM modes, so the cutoff frequency and main mode bandwidth also need to be considered. This limits its application in aircraft, so it is necessary to reconsider the radiation mechanism of the waveguide-fed dielectric rod antenna and design a dielectric rod antenna that can maintain miniaturization even in the low frequency band. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Purpose of the invention: To address the above problems, the present invention proposes a dielectric rod antenna based on a hybrid radiation mode and a design method thereof.

[0012] Setting a hybrid radiation mode condition of the dielectric rod antenna model so that in a low-frequency band, the antenna structure uses open waveguide radiation as the main radiation mode, and the ceramic dielectric rod is used to improve radiation directivity, wherein the low-frequency band ranges from f0-0.8 GHz to f0;
[0013] Based on the transient electromagnetic field simulation of the finite integral algorithm, the optimal solution for the antenna size is calculated based on the dielectric rod antenna model and the mixed radiation mode conditions. The distance from the coaxial probe feed point to the bottom of the rectangular metal open waveguide, and the lengths of the wide and narrow sides of the rectangular metal open waveguide are optimized within a certain range based on various reference values.
[0014] The step of setting the mixed radiation mode condition of the dielectric rod antenna model includes:

[0024] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0025] (1) For waveguide-fed dielectric rod antennas, traditional theory believes that discontinuities at the open waveguide aperture will lead to electromagnetic wave leakage, reducing the radiation efficiency of the dielectric rod antenna. In the antenna designed by the present invention, by reinterpreting the radiation mechanism of the waveguide-fed dielectric rod, the designed antenna utilizes two hybrid modes: the open waveguide radiation mode (low frequency) and the dielectric rod traveling wave radiation mode (high frequency). It can still maintain a low profile and have broadband and wide beam radiation characteristics when the operating frequency band is low. In the low frequency band (about f0-0.8GHz~f0), the open waveguide antenna is constructed using a coaxial-waveguide feeding structure, and the electromagnetic waves radiated by the open waveguide are considered to be effective radiation. By loading a high dielectric constant dielectric rod, its lower cutoff frequency is reduced, and the directivity is improved, thereby reducing the influence of the surrounding environment on its radiation performance. As the frequency increases to the high frequency band (about f0~f0+0.6GHz), the antenna radiation mode gradually transforms into a traveling wave radiation mode along the dielectric rod, and the phase center gradually rises to the top of the dielectric rod. The hybrid mode can be used to broaden the bandwidth, achieve a wide beam, and at the same time, the antenna has good directivity and is not easily affected by the surrounding environment. (2) Since the electromagnetic waves transmitted in the metal waveguide and the dielectric waveguide are TE mode, TM mode, and a hybrid mode of TE and TM, the dielectric rod antenna fed by the waveguide is very large in the low frequency band. The present invention can help reduce the size of the antenna by filling the feeding waveguide with a medium with a higher dielectric constant and using a high dielectric constant ceramic medium for the dielectric rod. (3) On this basis, the integrated design of the heat shield and the miniaturized hybrid radiation mode antenna achieves high temperature resistance and heat insulation performance while achieving wide beam radiation performance in a narrow window within a frequency band with an absolute bandwidth greater than 1.3GHz.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a miniaturized ultra-wide bandwidth beam high temperature resistant antenna based on a hybrid radiation mode mainly includes a dielectric rod and a rectangular open waveguide, and the entire antenna is installed in the center of the antenna cover.
[0038] The antenna comprises a high-dielectric-constant ceramic rod 101, a rectangular metal open waveguide 201, a dielectric filler 202 within the open waveguide, a coaxial probe 203, a small metal flange 204, and screws 205. The dielectric filler 202 is located within the rectangular metal open waveguide 201; the high-dielectric-constant ceramic rod 101 is inserted into the dielectric filler 202 within the open waveguide to facilitate securement. The small metal flange 204 is secured to the rectangular metal open waveguide 201 via four screws 205. The high-dielectric-constant ceramic rod 101 has a dielectric constant greater than 20. Antenna matching can be achieved by adjusting the length of the inner probe in the coaxial feed, increasing system flexibility.
[0039] The heat-insulating antenna cover comprises a heat-insulating cover plate 301 , a heat-insulating layer 302 , and a square metal flange 303 . The heat-insulating cover plate 301 and the square metal flange 303 are fixed by four screws 304 .
[0040] In this embodiment, the antenna's thermal insulation layer 302 is made of a low-dielectric-constant ceramic material, with a dielectric constant close to that of air; the heat-resistant cover 301 is made of quartz material; the ceramic dielectric rod 101 is made of a high-dielectric-constant ceramic material; and the filling medium 202 in the open waveguide is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] The design method of the dielectric rod antenna based on the hybrid radiation mode of the present invention is as follows: Figure 9As shown, including:
[0043] Step 1: Construct a dielectric rod antenna model. The model consists of a rectangular metal open waveguide filled with dielectric, a feed coaxial cable, and a high-permittivity ceramic dielectric rod. The matching section of the ceramic dielectric rod is embedded in the dielectric. The inner conductor of the coaxial probe is inserted into the dielectric and perpendicular to the transmission surface of the rectangular metal open waveguide. The matching performance of the entire antenna can be improved by adjusting the length and position of the coaxial probe.
[0044] Step 2: Setting the mixed radiation mode conditions of the dielectric rod antenna model, including:
[0045] Figure 2 (a) and (b) are the front and side views of the antenna prototype system, respectively. To achieve better impedance matching, the distance from the coaxial probe at the feed point to the bottom of the rectangular metal open waveguide needs to be designed. The reference value is calculated according to the following formula:
[0046]
[0047] Among them, L ref is the reference value of the distance from the coaxial probe to the bottom of the rectangular metal open waveguide, c is the speed of light in vacuum, f is the center frequency of the antenna, ε r is the dielectric constant of the medium filling the waveguide.
[0048] In actual design, optimization is performed based on the reference value. Optimization is performed within the following range:
[0049] L ref -δ≤L≤L ref +δ
[0050] Wherein, L is the distance from the coaxial probe to the bottom of the rectangular metal open waveguide, δ is the optimization range, and in this embodiment, the optimization range is 0.5 mm.
[0051] Design rectangular metal open waveguide to work in the target frequency band, mn For the model, its size is calculated according to the following formula:
[0052]
[0053] Where W1 and W2 are the wide and narrow sides of the rectangular waveguide, respectively, m and n are the mode numbers, and λ is the wavelength corresponding to the operating frequency. Similarly, the lengths of the wide and narrow sides of the rectangular waveguide are also optimized within a certain range based on the reference values calculated above.
[0054] The dielectric rod is designed to be divided into three sections: a matching section, a transition section, and a radiating section. While ensuring proper radiation from the open waveguide antenna, the length of the matching section is minimized and the coaxial probe is placed as close to the matching section as possible to reduce reflected waves back to the feed point. This allows both the quarter-wavelength monopole antenna and the open waveguide antenna, corresponding to the coaxial line's inner conductor, to effectively radiate.
[0055] When designing the dielectric rod radiator section, its cross-sectional height was severely limited. This was partly due to the confined installation environment on the aircraft, and partly because the distance from the top of the dielectric rod to the heat shield would affect the antenna's high-temperature performance. Therefore, the cross-sectional height of the dielectric rod radiator section needed to be minimized. At low frequencies, the physical length of the radiator section is only 1.2λ. max (λ max =( ...
[0056] The transition section of the dielectric rod can be viewed as a dielectric waveguide transmission line. Its length does not affect the matching and radiation performance of the antenna. Therefore, varying the length of the transition section can adjust the distance between the top of the dielectric rod and the heat shield, thereby achieving a balance between beamwidth and thermal insulation performance.
[0057] In step 3, a transient simulation using the finite integration algorithm is performed using the commercial software CST Studio Suite. Based on the dielectric rod antenna model in step 1 and the mixed radiation pattern conditions in step 2, the optimal solution for antenna size is calculated.
[0058] The present invention uses an existing transient simulation solver based on a finite integral algorithm to perform simulation calculations without improving the algorithm itself. In this embodiment, the commercial software CST Studio Suite can be directly used to complete the above modeling and simulation.
[0059] Figure 4 The following figure compares the simulated and measured S11 values of the complete antenna; the two agree well. Ultra-wideband performance with an absolute bandwidth greater than 1.3 GHz is achieved within the C-band.
[0060] Figure 5The electric field plot for a dielectric rod antenna without a thermal shield is shown at intervals of 0.2 GHz from f0-0.8 to f0. As can be seen from the figure, at low frequencies, electromagnetic waves are primarily radiated through the open waveguide antenna. The high-permittivity dielectric rod acts as a dielectric loading agent for the open waveguide antenna, enhancing the antenna's directivity. As the frequency increases, the antenna gradually transitions to the traveling-wave radiation mode of the dielectric rod antenna, radiating out from the tip of the dielectric rod.
[0061] Figure 6 The radiation pattern of a dielectric rod antenna without a thermal shield is shown at intervals of 0.2 GHz from f0-0.8 to f0. As can be seen from the figure, at low frequencies, even though the primary radiation mode is an open-waveguide mode, the high-permittivity dielectric rod acts as a dielectric loading mechanism for the open-waveguide. Therefore, the antenna's phase center is not at the waveguide aperture, but slightly above the rod center. As the frequency increases, the open-waveguide radiation mode gradually transitions to the dielectric rod's traveling-wave radiation mode. The dielectric rod antenna inherently exhibits traveling-wave end-fire characteristics, making it less susceptible to environmental influences.
[0062] Figure 7 The antenna of the present invention can realize a gain cross-sectional diagram, wherein the gain is greater than -5dBi within the range of ±60° of the beam, thus achieving wide beam radiation performance.
[0063] Figure 8 The temperature rise curve of the typical parts of the prototype of the present invention is shown in the figure below. In order to verify the heat resistance of the antenna prototype, a thermal simulation test was performed using the commercial software CST Studio Suite. The temperature was set to 1200℃ and the heating was continued for 1600s. The temperature rise curve of the typical parts is shown in the figure below. Figure 8 As shown, it can be seen that the prototype can work normally at high temperature, slowing down the transfer of heat so that the temperature of the feed end does not exceed 150℃.
[0064] Figure 9 A design flow chart of dielectric rod antenna based on hybrid radiation mode is given.
[0065] In summary, the integrated design of the heat shield and the hybrid radiation mode antenna of the present invention achieves an absolute operating bandwidth greater than 1.3 GHz and keeps the port temperature of the high-temperature resistant antenna below 150°C within 1600s in an environment of 1200°C.
