Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communications and relates to a dual-frequency co-aperture base station antenna array. Background Art

[0002] In mobile communication systems, 5G will coexist with 2G, 3G, and 4G for a long time. Due to the increase in operating frequency bands and limited deployment space, antennas of multiple frequency bands in the base station platform need to be arranged with a common aperture in a limited space. Multi-frequency common aperture base station antennas can achieve signal coverage of multiple network formats without increasing the space occupied by base station antenna equipment, greatly alleviating the shortage of base station site resources, thereby reducing the operating costs of operators.

[0003] However, in the co-aperture layout, the distance between antenna units is very close, resulting in enhanced coupling interference between antennas in different frequency bands. Among them, the low-frequency antennas distributed above the high-frequency antennas block the high-frequency electromagnetic waves and produce secondary radiation, causing distortion of the high-frequency antenna pattern. Therefore, designing low-frequency antennas that are "electromagnetically transparent" to high-frequency electromagnetic waves is an important method to restore the high-frequency pattern in the co-aperture base station antenna array.

[0004] However, the electromagnetic transparent bandwidth of the low-frequency antenna in the existing dual-frequency co-aperture base station antenna is relatively narrow, and it is impossible to ensure that the high-frequency antenna meets the gain and half-power beamwidth requirements required for the normal operation of the base station antenna. This will limit the working bandwidth of the high-frequency antenna in the co-aperture base station antenna array, and the structure is complex, resulting in difficulties in debugging and processing the antenna. For example, the patent document entitled "A Co-aperture Base Station Antenna Array" with the authorization announcement number CN115313065B discloses a co-aperture base station antenna array. The invention includes a low-frequency dual-polarization antenna, a high-frequency dual-polarization antenna and an antenna array metal plate, wherein the low-frequency dual-polarization antenna is fixed to the antenna array metal plate by a nylon column; the high-frequency dual-polarization antenna is arranged on both sides of the low-frequency dual-polarization antenna and fixed to the antenna array metal plate by a nylon column, and half of the area of ​​the high-frequency dual-polarization antenna is located directly below the low-frequency dual-polarization antenna. This invention can suppress the induced current caused by the excitation of the high-frequency antenna through the spiral choke in the antenna, reduce the impact on the electromagnetic waves radiated by the high-frequency antenna, and achieve high-frequency electromagnetic transparency. The width of the two feeding microstrip lines on the front side of the low-frequency antenna's feeding PCB and the gap in the metal ground on the back side of the PCB can be flexibly adjusted to enable the antenna to obtain good impedance matching. However, its defect is that the high-frequency antenna in the array has a narrow operating bandwidth due to the deterioration of performance such as radiation pattern and gain, and only operates at 1.71-1.83GHz, and its spiral choke decoupling structure consists of multiple metal strips and metal through-holes, and the structure is relatively complex.

The upper surface of the second dielectric substrate 21 is printed with a metal patch 26 above the rectangular notch etched on the first metal base plate 25. The first metal base plate 25 and the metal patch 26 are connected via a metal through hole.

[0032] The lower surface of the third dielectric substrate 23 is printed with two groups of intersecting high-frequency dipole arms 27, which radiate high-frequency electromagnetic waves with polarizations of +45° and -45° respectively. Each group of high-frequency dipole arms is composed of two metal rings. The metal rings are octagonal ring structures, and the eight internal angles are all 135°.

[0039] The low frequency antenna unit of this embodiment operates at 1.71-2.69 GHz, and the high frequency antenna unit operates at 3.4-5.0 GHz. However, the operating frequencies of the low frequency antenna unit and the high frequency antenna unit can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0040] Embodiment 2: This embodiment has the same basic structure as Embodiment 1, except that the low-frequency dipole arm is composed of two quadrilateral metal rings, and the composite decoupling structure is T-shaped.

[0042] The following is a further description of the technical effects of the present invention in conjunction with the simulation results:

[0043] 1. Experimental conditions and contents:

[0044] The simulation experiment of the present invention uses the commercial electromagnetic simulation software HFSS_22.1 to perform modeling and simulation.

[0045] Experiment 1: The S parameters of the low-frequency antenna unit and the high-frequency antenna unit of Example 1 of the present invention are simulated, and the results are as follows: Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 (b) as shown.

[0046] Experiment 2: The gain and horizontal plane pattern of Example 1 of the present invention and a single high-frequency antenna array are simulated and compared. The results are as follows: Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7 (b) is shown. The +45° polarization ports of two high-frequency antenna units located in the same column are excited simultaneously. The basic structure of the single high-frequency antenna array is the same as that of Example 1, except that the single high-frequency antenna array does not have a low-frequency antenna unit.

[0047] 2. Experimental results analysis:

[0048] Reference Figure 6 (a) In the 1.71-2.69 GHz frequency band, the reflection coefficients of the ±45° polarization ports of the low-frequency antenna unit are all less than -10 dB, and the isolation between ports with different polarizations is better than 28 dB.

[0049] Reference Figure 6 (b) In the 3.4-5.0GHz frequency band, the reflection coefficients of the ±45° polarization ports of the high-frequency antenna unit are all less than -14dB, and the isolation between ports with different polarizations is better than 24dB.

[0050] Reference Figure 7 (a) In the 3.4-5.0 GHz frequency band, the gain of Example 1 is stable in the range of 9.7-11.9 dBi, and the gain difference between it and the single high-frequency antenna array is 0-0.67 dB, indicating that in a wider frequency band, the gain performance of the high-frequency antenna unit is less affected by the low-frequency radiation unit, and the high-frequency electromagnetic waves can pass through the low-frequency radiation unit well.

[0051] Reference Figure 7 (b) When a single high-frequency antenna array is working, it has good directional radiation performance. The horizontal plane radiation pattern of Example 1 is close to that of a single high-frequency antenna array, and no obvious distortion occurs. Therefore, the composite decoupling structure provided by the present invention can effectively reduce the interference of the low-frequency radiation unit on the high-frequency pattern under the co-aperture layout, and has a good high-frequency pattern conformal effect.

[0052] Comprehensive experimental results show that the gain and horizontal plane radiation pattern performance of the high-frequency antenna unit in Example 1 are not significantly deteriorated due to the influence of the low-frequency antenna unit. Compared with the prior art, the operating bandwidth of the base station antenna array is effectively broadened. The low-frequency antenna unit of Example 1 operates at 1.71-2.69 GHz, and the high-frequency antenna unit operates at 3.4-5.0 GHz.

[0053] The above description and examples do not constitute any limitation to the present invention. It is obvious that for professionals in this field, after understanding the content and principles of the present invention, they may make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principles and structures of the present invention. However, these modifications and changes based on the ideas of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
