Array antenna

Abstract

The invention relates to an array antenna, and the antenna comprises a metal reflection plate, an isolating wall and two low-frequency subarrays. The two low-frequency subarrays are intersected on the metal reflection plate, and the isolating wall is set along the central line of the metal reflection plate. Each low-frequency subarray consists of a first group of low-frequency radiation units, a second group of low-frequency radiation units, and a third groups of low-frequency radiation units. The first group of low-frequency radiation units are disposed at one side of the isolating wall, and the second group of low-frequency radiation units and the third group of low-frequency radiation units are disposed at the other side of the isolating wall. The second group of low-frequency radiation units are arranged on one line which is adjacent to and parallel to the central line of the metal reflection plate. The third group of low-frequency radiation units are arranged on the other line which is far from and is parallel to the central line of the metal reflection plate. According to the invention, the two antenna arrays are intersected with each other, thereby reducing the beam width of a horizontal plane, improving the front-to-back ratio, reducing the distance between the two antenna arrays, and achieving the miniaturization of the antenna.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an array antenna. Background technique

[0002] With the large-scale use of mobile intelligent terminals such as smartphones and tablet computers, as well as the astonishing growth of users of instant messaging software such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and WeChat, and the rapid development of wireless services such as mobile video, the data traffic of mobile communications Showing explosive growth, users put forward higher and higher requirements for the capacity of the communication system. On the other hand, as the difficulty of site construction increases, in order to reduce the cost of network construction, operators are required to achieve co-site and co-location. Therefore, multi-system, broadband and miniaturized base station antennas have become one of the current hot spots.

[0003] Currently, a common technical means for improving system capacity is to use a MIMO (Multiple...
