[0027] The phase antenna assembly 10 may include a first antenna substrate 11, a second antenna substrate 12, and a connection substrate 13. The first antenna substrate 11 may be connected to the connection substrate 13. The second antenna substrate 12 may be connected to the connection substrate 13. The connection angle between the first antenna substrate 11 and the connection substrate 13 is related to the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11. The connection angle between the second antenna substrate 12 and the connection substrate 13 is related to the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first antenna substrate 11 may include a first polarized antenna array 111, a first connection node array 112, and a plurality of first chipsets 113 arranged in a matrix. The first polarized antenna array 111 may include a plurality of first array elements 1111 arranged in an array. The first connection node array 112 may include a plurality of first connection nodes 1121 arranged in an array. The first chipset 113 may include a plurality of first chips 1131 arranged in an array.

[0029] Optionally, a portion of the first chips 1131 of the first chipset 113 are electrically connected via the first routing line 114. The remaining first chips 1131 of the first chipset 113 are electrically connected via the second routing line 115. The midpoints of the second routing line 115 and the first routing line 114 are electrically connected via the first common routing line 116. A first connection node 1121 is provided at the center of the first common routing line 116. The first connection nodes 1121 corresponding to the plurality of first chipsets 113 are arranged in an array to form a first connection node array 112.

[0030] For example, the first antenna substrate 11 may include four first chipsets 113 arranged in a matrix. Each first chipset 113 is composed of, for example, four first chips 1131. Four first array elements 1111 are evenly or unevenly distributed around each first chip 1131. The two first chips 1131 of the first chipset 113 are electrically connected via a first wiring 114. The remaining two first chips 1131 of the first chipset 113 are electrically connected via a second wiring 115. The midpoints of the first wiring 114 and the second wiring 115 are electrically connected via a first common wiring 116, and a first connection node 1121 is provided in the center of the first common wiring 116. The first connection nodes 1121 provided in the center of each of the four first common wirings 116 form a first connection node array 112. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first connection node 1121 is specifically four connection nodes A, B, C, and D.

[0031] The first array element 1111 is an antenna radiation unit, and multiple first array elements 1111 are arranged according to a certain rule to form a first polarized antenna array 111. The first array element 1111 can transmit or receive electromagnetic waves, and the first chip 1131 can convert electrical signals into electromagnetic waves and transmit them through the first array element 1111, and can also convert electromagnetic waves received by the first array element 1111 into electrical signals for transmission. Furthermore, the first antenna substrate 11 in the present application can realize the conversion between electrical signals and electromagnetic waves through the first polarized antenna array 111 and the first chipset 113.

[0032] For example, the first chipset 113 may be a chipset with 2*2 chips, and the first chips 1131 are interconnected by three wires, and this structure can greatly reduce production and repair costs. Of course, the first chipset 113 can also use other chip structures, such as 4*4 chips, 8*8 chips, etc., as long as signal transmission and conversion can be performed and connection nodes can be set.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second antenna substrate 12 may include a second polarized antenna array 121, a second connection node array 122, and a plurality of second chipsets 123 arranged in a matrix. The second polarized antenna array 121 includes a plurality of second array elements 1211 arranged in an array. The second connection node array 122 includes a plurality of connection nodes 1221 arranged in an array. The second chipset 123 includes a plurality of second chips 1231 arranged in an array.

[0034] Optionally, the second antenna substrate 12 includes a plurality of second chipsets 123 arranged in a matrix, a portion of the second chips 1231 of the second chipset 123 are electrically connected via a third routing line 124, the remaining second chips 1231 of the second chipset 123 are electrically connected via a fourth routing line 125, the midpoints of the third routing line 124 and the fourth routing line 125 are electrically connected respectively via a second common routing line 126, a second connection node 1221 is provided at the center of the second common routing line 126, and the second connection nodes 1221 corresponding to the plurality of second chipsets 123 are arranged in an array to form the second connection node array 122.

[0035] For example, the second antenna substrate 12 may include four second chipsets 123 arranged in a matrix, and each second chipset 123 is composed of four second chips 1231, for example. Four second array elements 1211 are evenly or unevenly distributed around each second chip 1231. The two second chips 1231 of the second chipset 123 are electrically connected through a third wiring 124. The remaining two second chips 1231 of the second chipset 123 are electrically connected through a fourth wiring 125. The respective midpoints of the third wiring 124 and the fourth wiring 125 are electrically connected via a second common wiring 126. A first connection node 1121 is provided in the center of the second common wiring 126. The second connection nodes 1221 provided in the center of each of the four second common wirings 126 form a second connection node array 122. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second connection node 1221 is specifically four connection nodes E, F, G, and H.

[0036] The second array element 1211 is an antenna radiation unit, and multiple second array elements 1211 are arranged according to a certain rule to form a second polarized antenna array 121. The second array element 1211 can transmit or receive electromagnetic waves, and the second chip 1231 can convert electrical signals into electromagnetic waves and transmit them through the second array element 1211, and can also convert electromagnetic waves received by the second array element 1211 into electrical signals for transmission. Furthermore, the second antenna substrate 12 in the present application can realize the conversion between electrical signals and electromagnetic waves through the second polarized antenna array 121 and the second chipset 123.

[0037] For example, the second chipset 123 may be a chipset with 2*2 chips, and the second chips 1231 are interconnected by three wires, and this structure can greatly reduce production and repair costs. Of course, the second chipset 123 may also use other chip structures, such as 4*4 chips, 8*8 chips, etc., as long as signal transmission and conversion can be performed and connection nodes can be set.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the connection substrate 13 may include a third connection node array 131, a fourth connection node array 132, a third chip 133, a fourth chip 134, a transceiver 135 and a phase-locked loop 136. The third chip 133, the fourth chip 134 and the phase-locked loop 136 are electrically connected to the transceiver 135 respectively.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the transceiver 135 may be located between the third chip 133 and the fourth chip 134 , and the transceiver 135 is electrically connected to the third chip 133 and the fourth chip 134 , respectively.

[0040] It is worth noting that the third chip 133 and the fourth chip 134 are not necessary elements for the present application. When the present application is provided with the third chip 133 and the fourth chip 134, because the third chip and the fourth chip are provided with a power divider, the distribution and synthesis of signal energy can be realized, and the signal energy corresponding to the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12, or more antenna substrates can be adjusted. Therefore, the present application can solve the technical problem that when the transceiver and the multi-channel phase array are traditionally integrated on the same substrate, a multi-channel power divider (Power Divider) is required, which will increase the difficulty of the design and increase the additional inter-stage loss. Then the technical effect of reducing the complexity of the power divider (Power Divider) and minimizing the inter-stage loss as much as possible is achieved.

[0041] Optionally, the third connection node array 131 is used to connect with the first connection node array 112. The third connection node array 131 includes a plurality of third connection nodes 1311 arranged in an array. The fourth connection node array 132 is used to connect with the second connection node array 122. The fourth connection node array 132 includes a plurality of fourth connection nodes 1321 arranged in an array. At least two different angles of connection can be achieved between the third connection node array 131 and the first connection node array 112, and / or at least two different angles of connection can be achieved between the fourth connection node array 132 and the second connection node array 122.

[0042] Optionally, the third chip 133 is electrically connected to the third connection node 1311 . The fourth chip 134 is electrically connected to the fourth connection node 1321 .

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the third chip 133 may be located in the center of the third connection node array 131 and electrically connected to each third connection node 1311. The fourth chip 134 may be located in the center of the fourth connection node array 132 and electrically connected to each fourth connection node 1321.

[0044] This embodiment can change the polarization direction of the antenna assembly by changing the connection angle between the third connection node array 131 and the first connection node array 112, and / or the connection angle between the fourth connection node array 132 and the second connection node array 122. For example, the connection substrate 13 can be relatively fixed, that is, the positions of the third connection node array 131 and the fourth connection node array 132 are relatively fixed. When the corresponding relationship between the first connection node array 112 and the third connection node array 131 and the connection substrate 13 changes, that is, the direction of the first antenna substrate 11 relative to the connection substrate 13 changes, and the direction of the electric field strength formed when the first polarized antenna array 111 radiates changes, thereby changing the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11. When the corresponding relationship between the second connection node array 122 and the fourth connection node array 132 changes, that is, the direction of the second antenna substrate 12 relative to the connection substrate 13 changes, and the direction of the electric field strength formed when the second polarized antenna array 121 radiates changes, thereby changing the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12. In specific operations, the corresponding connection angle is determined according to the desired polarization direction. Specifically, the first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 can be rotated to change the relative angles of the first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 relative to the connecting substrate 13. The first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are then assembled with the connecting substrate 13 to obtain the desired polarization direction. There is no need to determine the polarization direction during the design and manufacturing process.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, if the first connection node array 112 and the third connection node array 131 are connected in a manner of A to a, B to b, C to c, D to d as a connection at one angle, and the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11 is defined as vertical polarization at this time. When the first connection node array 112 and the third connection node array 131 are connected in a manner of A to b, B to d, C to a, D to c, it can be a connection at another angle different from the above angles. At this time, the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11 becomes horizontal polarization. By analogy, at least two different angles of connection can be achieved between the third connection node array 131 and the first connection node array 112. As the connection angle changes, the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11 changes accordingly.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, if the second connection node array 122 and the fourth connection node array 132 are defined to be connected at one angle in the manner of E to e, F to f, G to g, H to h, and the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12 is defined as vertical polarization at this time, then the second connection node array 122 and the fourth connection node array 132 can be connected at another angle different from the above angles in the manner of E to f, F to h, G to e, H to g, and the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12 becomes horizontal polarization. By analogy, at least two different angles of connection can be achieved between the fourth connection node array 132 and the second connection node array 122, and the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12 changes with the difference in the connection angle. Therefore, the present application can achieve different combinations of polarization forms by changing the connection angle between the third connection node array 131 and the first connection node array 112 and / or the fourth connection node array 132 and the second connection node array 122.

[0047] Therefore, the present application can change the polarization form by different angles through the later assembly method, without determining or solidifying the polarization form during the design or manufacturing process. Moreover, by connecting the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12 and the connecting substrate 13 at different angles, a variety of combinations of antenna polarization forms can be achieved, thereby improving the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the antenna assembly.

[0048] Optionally, the third connection node array 131 is connected to the first connection node array 112 via a metal fastener or a cable, and / or the fourth connection node array 132 is connected to the second connection node array 122 via a metal fastener or a cable.

[0049] The third connection node array 131 and the first connection node array 112 can be connected by any relatively fixed and electrically connected method, including metal fasteners, cables, bolts and nuts and other fastener assembly methods, so that the first antenna substrate 11 and the connection substrate 13 are relatively fixed and can transmit signals. The fourth connection node array 132 and the second connection node array 122 can be connected by any relatively fixed and electrically connected method, including metal fasteners, cables, bolts and nuts and other fastener assembly methods, so that the second antenna substrate 12 and the connection substrate 13 are relatively fixed and can transmit signals. Therefore, the present application can combine multiple single polarization antennas through fastener assembly methods. Moreover, by means of metal fasteners or cables, the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12 and the connection substrate 13 can adjust the connection angle according to actual conditions, which is more flexible.

[0050] Optionally, the number of third connection nodes 1311 is equal to the number of first connection nodes 1121, and the third connection nodes 1311 correspond to the first connection nodes 1121. The number of fourth connection nodes 1321 is equal to the number of second connection nodes 1221, and the fourth connection nodes 1321 correspond to the second connection nodes 1221.

[0051] By connecting the first connection node 1121 and the third connection node 1311 in a one-to-one correspondence, an electrical connection with multiple angles between the first antenna substrate 11 and the connection substrate 13 can be achieved. At different corresponding angles, the first connection node 1121 and the third connection node 1311 still maintain a one-to-one correspondence, and the connection can be achieved. Similarly, by connecting the second connection node 1221 and the fourth connection node 1321 in a one-to-one correspondence, an electrical connection with multiple angles between the second antenna substrate 12 and the connection substrate 13 can be achieved. At different corresponding angles, the second connection node 1221 and the fourth connection node 1321 still maintain a one-to-one correspondence, and the connection can be achieved. When the first connection node 1121 and the third connection node 1311, and the second connection node 1221 and the fourth connection node 1321 simultaneously achieve electrical connections with multiple angles, an electrical connection with multiple angles between the first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 can be achieved.

[0052] Optionally, the third connection node array 131 is rotationally symmetric to the first connection node array 112 , and / or the fourth connection node array 132 is rotationally symmetric to the second connection node array 122 .

[0053] In this embodiment, there may be a symmetry center between the third connection node array 131 and the first connection node array 112, and the third connection node array 131 may overlap with the first connection node array 112 after rotating around the symmetry center by a certain angle. And / or there may be a symmetry center between the fourth connection node array 132 and the second connection node array 122, and the fourth connection node array 132 may overlap with the second connection node array 122 after rotating around the symmetry center by a certain angle. In this way, it can be achieved that the first antenna substrate 11 can still be electrically connected to the connection substrate 13 after rotating a certain angle, and / or the second antenna substrate 12 can still be electrically connected to the connection substrate 13 after rotating a certain angle.

[0054] Optionally, the third connection node array 131 is rotationally symmetric with the first connection node array 112 at 90 degrees, and / or the fourth connection node array 132 is rotationally symmetric with the second connection node array 122 at 90 degrees.

[0055] The first connection node array 112 , the second connection node array 122 , the third connection node array 131 , or the fourth connection node array 132 are, for example, square arrays.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there is a symmetry center between the third connection node array 131 and the first connection node array 112, and when the third connection node array 131 rotates 90 degrees around the symmetry center, it can overlap with the first connection node array 112. And / or there is a symmetry center between the fourth connection node array 132 and the second connection node array 122, and when the fourth connection node array 132 rotates 90 degrees around the symmetry center, it can overlap with the second connection node array 122. In this way, it can be achieved that the first antenna substrate 11 can still be electrically connected to the connection substrate 13 after rotating 90 degrees and / or the second antenna substrate 12 can still be electrically connected to the connection substrate 13 after rotating 90 degrees.

[0057] Optionally, the plane where the third connection node array 131 is located is parallel to the plane where the first connection node array 112 is located. The node array arrangement direction in the plane where the third connection node array 131 is located is defined as 0 degrees, the first angle is 0 degrees, 180 degrees or 360 degrees, and the second angle is 90 degrees or 270 degrees.

[0058] Specifically, the plane where the third connection node array 131 is located is parallel to the plane where the first connection node array 112 is located, so that the first antenna substrate 11 and the connection substrate 13 can be connected to each other on the same horizontal plane. When the first antenna substrate 11 is horizontally rotated 90 degrees relative to the node array arrangement direction in the plane where the third connection node array 131 is located, its polarization direction changes.

[0059] For example, when the node array arrangement direction of the first connection node array 112 relative to the plane where the third connection node array 131 is located is a first angle, that is, 0 degrees, 180 degrees, or 360 degrees, the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11 is its initial polarization direction, that is, vertical polarization. When the node array arrangement direction of the first connection node array 112 relative to the plane where the third connection node array 131 is located is a second angle, that is, 90 degrees or 270 degrees, the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11 changes, that is, becomes horizontal polarization.

[0060] Optionally, the plane where the fourth connection node array 132 is located is parallel to the plane where the second connection node array 122 is located; the node array arrangement direction in the plane where the fourth connection node array 132 is located is defined as 0 degrees, the first angle is 0 degrees, 180 degrees or 360 degrees, and the second angle is 90 degrees or 270 degrees.

[0061] Specifically, the plane where the fourth connection node array 132 is located is parallel to the plane where the second connection node array 122 is located, so that the second antenna substrate 12 and the connection substrate 13 can be connected to each other on the same horizontal plane. When the second antenna substrate 12 is horizontally rotated 90 degrees relative to the node array arrangement direction in the plane where the fourth connection node array 132 is located, its polarization direction changes.

[0062] For example, when the node array arrangement direction of the second connection node array 122 relative to the plane where the fourth connection node array 132 is located is a first angle, that is, 0 degrees, 180 degrees, or 360 degrees, the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12 is its initial polarization direction, that is, vertical polarization. When the node array arrangement direction of the second connection node array 122 relative to the plane where the fourth connection node array 132 is located is a second angle, that is, 90 degrees or 270 degrees, the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12 changes, that is, becomes horizontal polarization.

[0063] Therefore, by connecting the third connection node array 131 with the first connection node array 112 at a first angle or a second angle, and / or connecting the fourth connection node array 132 with the second connection node array 122 at a first angle or a second angle, a phase antenna component 10 with different polarization forms can be obtained, such as two groups of horizontally polarized antennas, two groups of vertically polarized antennas, and dual-polarized antennas.

[0064] Optionally, the extension direction of the first common wiring 116 is parallel to the extension direction of the second common wiring 126 , or the extension direction of the first common wiring 116 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second common wiring 126 .

[0065] In this embodiment, when the extension direction of the first common line 116 is parallel to the extension direction of the second common line 126, the first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are in a mutually parallel state, that is, the polarization directions of the first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are the same, such as two groups of horizontally polarized antennas and two groups of vertically polarized antennas. When the extension direction of the first common line 116 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second common line 126, the first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are in a mutually perpendicular state, that is, the polarization directions of the first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are different, such as dual-polarized antennas.

[0067] Specifically, the phased antenna assembly 10 of the first polarization form may be two groups of vertically polarized antennas.

[0068] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the first connection state of the phase antenna assembly embodiment of the present application.

[0069] The first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are simultaneously developed in a vertical polarization direction. The first connection node array 112 and the third connection node array 131 are connected at a first angle, that is, they are connected in the manner of A to a, B to b, C to c, and D to d. The second connection node array 122 and the fourth connection node array 132 are connected at a first angle, and are connected in the manner of E to f, F to h, G to e, and H to g. Then, the signal is converted or transmitted by the transceiver 135 on the connection substrate 13, and two sets of vertically polarized antennas can be obtained.

[0070] Optionally, the third connection node array 131 is connected to the first connection node array 112 at a first angle, and the fourth connection node array 132 is connected to the second connection node array 122 at a second angle to obtain a phase antenna component 10 of a second polarization form.

[0071] Specifically, the second polarization-type phased antenna component 10 may be a dual-polarization antenna.

[0072] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of the second connection state of the phase antenna assembly embodiment of the present application.

[0073] The first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are simultaneously developed in a vertical polarization direction. The first connection node array 112 is connected to the third connection node array 131 at a first angle, that is, they are connected in the manner of A to a, B to b, C to c, and D to d. The fourth connection node array 132 is connected to the second connection node array 122 at a second angle, that is, after the second antenna substrate 12 is rotated 90 degrees or 270 degrees, the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12 becomes horizontal, and the second connection node array 122 is connected to the fourth connection node array 132 in the manner of E to e, F to f, G to g, and H to h. Then, a dual-polarized antenna can be obtained by performing signal conversion or transmission through the transceiver 135 on the connection substrate 13.

[0074] Optionally, the third connection node array 131 is connected to the first connection node array 112 at a second angle, and the fourth connection node array 132 is connected to the second connection node array 122 at a second angle to obtain a phase antenna component 10 of a third polarization form.

[0075] Specifically, the phased antenna assembly 10 of the third polarization form may be two groups of horizontally polarized antennas.

[0076] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of the third connection state of the phase antenna assembly embodiment of the present application.

[0077] The first antenna substrate 11 and the second antenna substrate 12 are simultaneously developed in a vertical polarization direction. The third connection node array 131 is connected to the first connection node array 112 at a second angle, that is, after the first antenna substrate 11 is rotated 90 degrees or 270 degrees and the polarization direction of the first antenna substrate 11 becomes horizontal, the first connection node array 112 and the third connection node array 131 are connected in the manner of A to c, B to a, C to d, and D to b. The fourth connection node array 132 is connected to the second connection node array 122 at a second angle, that is, after the second antenna substrate 12 is rotated 90 degrees or 270 degrees and the polarization direction of the second antenna substrate 12 becomes horizontal, the second connection node array 122 and the fourth connection node array 132 are connected in the manner of E to e, F to f, G tog, and H to h. Then, the transceiver 135 on the connection substrate 13 performs signal conversion or transmission, and two groups of horizontally polarized antennas can be obtained.

[0078] In summary, the present application does not need to determine or solidify the polarization direction during design or manufacturing. Instead, after manufacturing the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12 and the connecting substrate 13, since at least two different angles of connection can be achieved between the third connecting node array 131 and the first connecting node array 112, and / or at least two different angles of connection can be achieved between the fourth connecting node array and the second connecting node array 122, by adjusting the respective connection angles of the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12 and the connecting substrate 13, the polarization direction of the entire antenna assembly can be adjusted or changed, and the effect of a dual-polarized or multi-polarized antenna can be achieved by assembling more than two single-polarized antennas at different angles.

[0079] The present application can also realize various combinations of antenna polarization forms by means of assembly, for example, two groups of vertically polarized antennas, two groups of horizontally polarized antennas or dual-polarized antennas. In addition, the present application can solve the technical problem that when the transceiver and the multi-channel phase array are traditionally integrated on the same substrate, a multi-channel power divider is required, which will increase the difficulty of design and increase the additional inter-stage loss, thereby achieving the technical effect of reducing the complexity of the power divider and minimizing the inter-stage loss as much as possible.
