TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of microwave and antenna technology, and relates to a transmissive array antenna with high selective gain filtering characteristics. BACKGROUND
[0002] In long-distance wireless communication, high-gain antennas are a very important part, and transmissive array and reflective array antennas have attracted widespread attention in high-gain antennas due to their simple feeding structure, easy manufacturing and low loss. High-gain antennas are often used as the first or last stage of a radio frequency communication system, and need to be cascaded with filters. In the 5G era, higher requirements are put forward for the small size and high integration of radio frequency communication systems, and the proposal of filtering antennas can integrate filters and antennas, effectively reduce the size of radio frequency communication systems, and avoid additional loss caused by cascading.
[0003] The integration of filters and reflective array antennas or transmissive array antennas can form filtering reflective array antennas and filtering transmissive array antennas, respectively. The filtering reflective array has a slight gain reduction due to the blocking of the feeding antenna, while the filtering transmissive array can avoid this problem and has received more attention. In the 5G era, more data needs to be transmitted, and full use of frequency spectrum resources can transmit more data in a limited frequency band. The transmissive array antenna with high selective filtering characteristics can meet this requirement.
[0004] Current main implementation methods of filtering transmissive array include using 3D structure, introducing a sub-reflector to adjust phase, using multi-layer frequency selection structure, and using antenna-filter-antenna method. Some of the methods using 3D structure and antenna-filter-antenna method can achieve high selectivity, but the 3D structure will result in a high profile thickness of the transmissive array surface, and the antenna-filter-antenna method introduces a filter structure in the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna to realize the filtering function and the phase adjustment function, but the filter structure needs a complex design process.
[0005] Therefore, how to realize a transmissive array antenna with high selective gain filtering characteristics with a low profile and a simple design process is a key problem. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and provides a transmissive array antenna with high selective gain filtering characteristics. The present application proposes a design method based on a loaded split-ring resonator magnetic electric dipole, which includes a set of magnetic electric dipoles symmetric about a metal ground plane except for a feed structure, which are respectively a receiving magnetic electric dipole and a transmitting magnetic electric dipole. By utilizing the characteristics of the magnetic electric dipole, a radiation zero point is introduced at a low frequency, and by the half-wave resonance characteristics of the split-ring resonator, a radiation zero point is introduced at a high frequency. Electromagnetic energy can be effectively transmitted within a center frequency band. By rotating the feed structure of the bottom transmitting magnetic electric dipole by 0° or 180° around the center, the transmission phase of the center frequency band is changed by 0° and 180°, and two units with a transmission phase difference of 180° are formed.
