These figures and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following by referring to the figures in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0063] The following explains some of the terms involved in the present application:
[0064] Radiation pattern of an antenna: The radiation pattern of an antenna refers to a pattern of the relative field strength of the radiation field of the antenna at a certain distance from the antenna, which changes with the direction. In the radiation pattern, the energy change of the radiation field is represented by the gain, and the angle range of the radiation field radiation is represented by the direction angle. The antenna gain is represented by the ratio of the power density of the signal generated by the actual antenna and the ideal antenna at the same point in space under the condition that the input power is equal. The antenna gain is used to measure the ability of the antenna to transmit and receive signals in a particular direction. When the antenna gain decreases by a preset gain threshold (such as -3dB), the angle range of the corresponding radiation field radiation is referred to as the beam width. For ease of description, the target gain of the radiation source after adding the radome, the preset gain (also referred to as the self gain) of the radiation source, and the target beam width of the radiation source after adding the radome, the preset beam width (also referred to as the self beam width) of the radiation source, and the like mentioned in the present application are all based on the above understanding and the context description.
[0065] Insertion loss: The gain loss of the antenna signal after passing through the radome.
[0066] Insertion phase: As a key characteristic parameter representing the electromagnetic window performance of the radome, the insertion phase can represent the phase difference of the radiation direction after the antenna signal passes through the radome.
[0067] With the increasing development of science and technology, intelligent driving technology has gradually become popular in people's daily life. Among them, sensors are the channel for the intelligent system of the vehicle to obtain external information, and play a key role in intelligent driving. Generally, different application scenarios have different requirements for sensors. For example, in the scenarios of automatic parking, parking space searching, or realizing 360° full-vehicle radar coverage of the vehicle, the vehicle has higher requirements for the detection range of the radar and other sensors. The detection range can also be referred to as the field of view (FOV).
[0068] Generally, a radar can include a transmitter, a receiver, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, and a radome and the like. The beam width of the transmitting antenna of the radar is a factor that determines the detection range of the radar. The wider the beam width of the transmitting antenna of the radar, the larger the detection range of the radar. The narrower the beam width of the transmitting antenna of the radar, the smaller the detection range of the radar. Therefore, the detection range of the radar can be increased by widening the beam of the transmitting antenna.
[0069] However, how to change the beam width of the antenna is a problem to be solved.
[0070] Considering that the antenna beamwidth remains unchanged when the antenna properties are constant, but the inventors discovered through research that the antenna beamwidth changes after the signal passes through the radome, this application provides a method for generating a radome model to change the antenna beamwidth using the radome without altering the antenna properties and while ensuring the antenna signal gain. Changing the antenna beamwidth here can mean either widening or narrowing the antenna beamwidth.
[0071] Based on the above-described radome model generation method, a radome model can be obtained. The radome model is a data model that describes the spatial shape / structure of the radome using three-dimensional data, and it contains relationships between the radome and the radome's three-dimensional data and entities for manufacturing purposes. Therefore, the radome model mentioned in this application corresponds to the various structures, shapes, and positions within the radome based on these relationships.
[0072] The radome model includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the radome model can form a cavity to house a radiation source within the cavity. This radiation source can be a radar sensor containing the aforementioned antenna. The radome model is used to manufacture an radome for accommodating an antenna containing a radiation source. For simplicity, the radiation source housed in the radome model (or radome) also points in this direction.
[0073] Optionally, the cavity enclosed by the inner surface of the radome can be in a vacuum state, or the medium in the cavity can be air, water, etc.
[0074] For example, taking the cavity enclosed by the inner surface of the above-mentioned radome model as a semi-cylindrical cavity, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a radome model structure provided in this application. Figure 1 As shown, the inner surface of the radome model can form a semi-cylindrical cavity, and the radiation source can be placed inside the semi-cylindrical cavity.
[0075] by Figure 1 The radome model shown is an example, for illustration purposes. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an antenna system provided in this application. Figure 2 As shown, the antenna system may include a radome and a radiation source. The radiation source may be housed within a cavity formed by the inner surface of the radome.
[0076] It should be understood that Figure 1 and Figure 2The cavity surrounded by the inner surface of the radome model is only taken as an example of a semi-cylindrical cavity. In actual implementation, the cavity surrounded by the inner surface of the radome can also be a cylindrical cavity with a bottom smaller than a semi-circular arc, or a cylindrical cavity with a bottom larger than a semi-circular arc, or a quadrilateral cavity, a hexagonal cavity, or a cavity with other three-dimensional shapes, which aims to provide overall beam shaping and / or adjust the gain according to the body radiation range of the radiation source. For example, the cavity surrounded by the inner surface of the radome model can also be a spherical cavity.
[0077] In addition, it should be understood that the radome model provided by the present application is designed according to the shape of the radiation source, and the type of the radiation source and other radiation source attributes. The attributes include preset gain, beam width, and other radiation indicators of the radiation source. For example, the size, structure, and other parameters of the provided radome model and the corresponding radome are determined according to the shape, size, and attributes of the radiation source, which can be a rectangular patch radiation source, a circular patch radiation source, or a ring radiation source. Accordingly, the radome can be configured for radiation sources with the same or similar shape, size, and attributes to achieve the purpose of adjusting beam shaping and / or adjusting gain.
[0078] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in some embodiments. The execution subject of the radome model generation method provided by the present application can be a terminal or a server with processing function, or other electronic devices.
[0079] Figure 3 A flowchart of a radome model generation method provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps: Figure 3
[0080] S101, obtaining target radiation parameters, radiation source radiation parameters, and material parameters of dielectric materials used as radomes.
[0081] The radiation parameters of the radiation source can include a preset beam width and / or a preset gain. The target radiation parameters can include target gain and / or target beam width provided by the radiation source signal under the joint action of the radome and the radiation source.
[0082] The preset beam width can be smaller than the target beam width, or can be larger than the target beam width. When the preset beam width is larger than the target beam width, an antenna cover with the same shape as the antenna cover model generated based on the antenna cover model generation method can realize narrowing of the beam width of the radiation source. When the preset beam width is smaller than the target beam width, an antenna cover with the same shape as the antenna cover model generated based on the antenna cover model generation method can realize widening of the beam width of the radiation source. The preset beam width can also be equivalent to the target beam width, and the target gain is inhibited or compensated to improve the signal stability of the radiation source in the same beam width.
[0083] In some embodiments, the material parameters of the dielectric material of the antenna cover can include at least one of the name of the dielectric material, the identification of the dielectric material, and the like.
[0084] As a possible implementation, the electronic device can obtain the target radiation parameters input by the user, the radiation parameters of the radiation source, and the material parameters of the dielectric material used as the antenna cover, through a graphical user interface (GUI), an application programming interface (API), or the like.
[0085] S102, obtaining the inner surface three-dimensional data of the antenna cover model according to the radiation parameters.
[0086] The inner surface of the antenna cover formed by the inner surface three-dimensional data of the antenna cover model is such that the beam width of the radiation source signal reaching the inner surface of the antenna cover model is equal to the preset beam width.
[0087] For example, the inner surface three-dimensional data of the antenna cover model can be the three-dimensional space coordinates of at least two sampling points on the inner surface of the antenna cover model. Alternatively, the inner surface three-dimensional data of the antenna cover model can include the distance between each first sampling point on the inner surface of the antenna cover model and the radiation source. In this implementation, the inner surface three-dimensional data of the antenna cover model can also include the three-dimensional space coordinates of the radiation source.
[0088] As a possible implementation, the electronic device can store preset simulation software that can output the distance between the position reaching the beam width and the radiation source based on the input beam width. After obtaining the preset beam width, the electronic device can input the preset beam width into the preset simulation software to obtain the inner surface three-dimensional data of the antenna cover model.
[0089] It should be understood that the preset simulation software is not limited to outputting the inner surface three-dimensional data of the radome model based on the preset beam width. For example, the preset simulation software can also output the inner surface three-dimensional data of the radome model based on the preset beam width and the wavelength of the radiation source signal.
[0090] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the cavity surrounded by the inner surface three-dimensional data of the radome model can be circular arc shape. By determining the cavity surrounded by the inner surface three-dimensional data of the radome model in a circular arc shape, the reflection of the antenna signal by the radome can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy loss of the antenna signal caused by the radome.
[0091] S103, obtaining outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model according to the inner surface three-dimensional data, the radiation parameters, the target radiation parameters, and the material parameters.
[0092] The outer surface of the radome formed by the outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model allows the radiation source signal to reach the target radiation parameters after passing through the outer surface of the radome model. To this end, the outer surface three-dimensional data is determined by simulating the beam width and gain of the radiation source signal when it reaches the inner surface of the radome, and simulating the radiation source signal passing through the outer surface of the radome to meet the target beam width and / or target gain.
[0093] The simulation method includes, for example, a finite element algorithm, a machine learning algorithm, or a data processing process using an iterative algorithm such as a random forest.
[0094] For example, the outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model can be the three-dimensional space coordinates of at least two sampling points on the outer surface of the radome model.
[0095] For example, the outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model can include a target distance between each first sampling point and a corresponding second sampling point. The second sampling point is the intersection point of the straight line between the radiation source and any first sampling point on the inner surface of the radome model and the outer surface.
[0096] For example, the cross-section of the cavity surrounded by the inner surface of the radome model is semicircular, and the radiation source is arranged at the center of the semicircle. Figure 4 A planar structure schematic diagram of a radome model is provided in the present application. As shown in Figure 4As shown, taking the center O of the above-mentioned semicircular bottom surface as the position of the radiation source as an example, the intersection line between the cross section of the radome model and the inner surface includes at least one first sampling point n. The center O of the semicircular bottom surface and the first sampling point n are on a straight line On. By means of simulation calculation, the target distance between the first sampling point and the straight line On is calculated, and the outer surface point N of the radome model is determined according to the target distance, and the point N can be used as the second sampling point corresponding to the first sampling point n.
[0097] In some examples, the electronic device obtains the intersection line between the cross section of the radome model and the outer surface by fitting the obtained connecting line of the second sampling points. In other examples, the electronic device simulates the second sampling points on the outer surface by using different positions of the cross section along the total length of the antenna (or antenna array) of the radiation source, to obtain a plurality of sets of three-dimensional data of the second sampling points on the outer surface.
[0098] S104, obtaining the radome model according to the three-dimensional data of the inner surface of the radome model and the three-dimensional data of the outer surface of the radome model.
[0099] After obtaining the three-dimensional data of the outer surface of the radome model, the electronic device can generate the radome model by using target software capable of drawing a three-dimensional model corresponding to the three-dimensional data.
[0100] In some examples, the electronic device calculates the offset data of the three-dimensional data of the second sampling points on the intersection line obtained in step S103 at different positions along the length of the antenna (or antenna array) of the radiation source, and obtains the three-dimensional data of the outer surface according to the offset data; and obtains the radome model by using the boundary described by the three-dimensional data of the inner surface and the three-dimensional data of the outer surface.
[0101] In yet other examples, the electronic device performs closed surface processing on each first sampling point and each second sampling point obtained by simulation along the length of the antenna (or antenna array) of the radiation source, to obtain the above-mentioned radome model. The first sampling points and the second sampling points are processed by using a triangular patch splicing method to obtain the radome model.
[0102] The radome model obtained by using the method in any of the above examples can be used to provide corresponding manufacturing data such as size and shape for manufacturing the radome, and assembly data when the radiation source is assembled with the radome, so that the radiation source signal can reach the above-mentioned target radiation parameters after passing through the outer surface of the radome.
[0103] By the above method, the beam width of the antenna is changed through the radome of the antenna without changing the antenna property and ensuring the gain of the antenna signal. When the target beam width is smaller than the preset beam width, the same radome with the radome model shape obtained based on the radome model generation method can realize the reduction of the beam width of the radiation source. When the target beam width is greater than the preset beam width, the same radome with the radome model shape obtained based on the radome model generation method can realize the widening of the beam width of the radiation source.
[0104] The following describes how the electronic device obtains the outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model according to the inner surface three-dimensional data, the radiation parameter, the target radiation parameter, and the material parameter.
[0105] Figure 5 A method flowchart for obtaining the outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model is provided in the present application. As shown in Figure 5 As a possible implementation manner, the foregoing step S103 can include the following steps.
[0106] S201: The inner surface three-dimensional data, the target radiation parameter, and the material parameter are used to simulate the sampling radiation parameters of the radiation source signal at each beam width sampling point after passing through the radome.
[0107] Each beam width sampling point is set based on the spatial range set according to the target radiation parameter.
[0108] For example, as shown in Figure 4 For example, as shown in the above, the radiation source is arranged at the position bisecting the axis of the cavity surrounded by the inner surface of the radome model, and the midpoint of the line connecting the two endpoints of the lowermost end of the cavity is taken as an example. Optionally, it is assumed that the number of the first sampling points is 17, and the preset first function can be, for example, as shown in the following formula (1):
[0109]
[0110] wherein, pha n and pha1 n are the imaginary parts of the preset first function, pha n represents the phase delay of the first sampling point and the antenna at the incident angle θ, and pha1 n represents the phase delay of the first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point at the incident angle θ. Wherein, For any beam width sampling point, θ is 0.5 times the beam width sampling point. nis an angle between the first straight line and the second straight line. For any first sampling point, the first straight line is a straight line passing through a midpoint of a line segment connecting two end points of the lowermost end of the arc, and the second straight line is a straight line passing through the two end points of the lowermost end of the arc. Figure 4 is a straight line on which the center line segment on lies. The second straight line is a straight line passing through the two end points of the lowermost end of the arc. Figure 4 is a straight line on which the center line segment A1A2 lies. Optionally, R represents a distance between the first sampling point and the radiation source, as shown by a length of the line segment on. Figure 4 λ0 represents a wavelength of the radiation source signal, and T n represents a distance between the first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point, as shown by a length of the line segment nN. Figure 4 mag n represents an amplitude distribution of the first sampling point. Optionally, the mag n may be pre-stored in the electronic device. E(θ) represents a gain of the simulated radiation source signal passing through the antenna cover model corresponding to the antenna cover at the beam width sampling point.
[0111] It should be understood that the above formula (1) is an exemplary description of the preset first function taking 17 first sampling points as an example. In a specific implementation, the electronic device can also select a larger or smaller number of first sampling points from the three-dimensional data of the inner surface of the antenna cover. The accuracy of the determined three-dimensional data of the outer surface of the antenna cover is positively correlated with the number of first sampling points. The amount of calculation of the electronic device is also positively correlated with the number of first sampling points.
[0112] S202, when the gain of the simulated radiation source signal passing through the antenna cover at each beam width sampling point meets the constraint condition set based on the target radiation parameter, determining a target distance distributed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the antenna cover model.
[0113] Considering that the gains at different angles and equal distances from the radiation source within the beam width range are substantially the same, the target distance distributed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the antenna cover model represents a position relationship between each first sampling point of the sampling inner surface and a corresponding second sampling point of the to-be-determined outer surface distributed according to a preset angle step. When the gain of the simulated radiation source signal passing through the antenna cover at each beam width sampling point meets the constraint condition set based on the target radiation parameter, the target distance distributed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the antenna cover model is determined.
[0114] In some examples, the electronic device simulates a curve or a surface that makes the gain of each beam width sampling point meet the target radiation parameter by gradually adjusting the cross-sectional curve of the outer surface or the surface parameters, to obtain the corresponding target distance distributed.
[0115] In some examples, the electronic device can select a plurality of first sampling points on the inner surface of the radome model, and initialize a candidate distance corresponding to each of the first sampling points. The electronic device can select the plurality of first sampling points on the inner surface of the radome model in a random manner, or at preset intervals, for example.
[0116] The electronic device can then input each of the first sampling points and the candidate distance corresponding thereto into a preset objective function, and obtain a sum of values of the preset objective function corresponding to each of the beamwidth sampling points under the constraint condition.
[0117] The constraint condition can be a piecewise constraint on the gain at any of the beamwidth sampling points. For example, the constraint condition can be that if the gain at the beamwidth sampling point is greater than or equal to a preset gain, the value of the preset objective function corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point is equal to a first target value. If the gain at the beamwidth sampling point is less than the preset gain, the value of the preset objective function corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point is equal to a second target value. It should be understood that the specific values of the first target value and the second target value are not limited in the present application. For example, the first target value can be any constant greater than 0, and the second target value can be any constant less than 0.
[0118] The electronic device can then adjust at least one of the candidate distances under the constraint condition, so that the sum of the values of the preset objective function corresponding to each of the beamwidth sampling points is maximum, and determine the target distance distributed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the radome model according to the adjustment.
[0119] For example, the electronic device can adjust at least one of the candidate distances under the constraint condition by using a preset optimization algorithm, so that the sum of the values of the preset objective function corresponding to each of the beamwidth sampling points is maximum. The preset optimization algorithm can be a genetic algorithm (GA), a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, or the like.
[0120] In some embodiments, the sum of the values of the preset objective function corresponding to each of the beamwidth sampling points is positively correlated with the number of beamwidth sampling points whose gain is greater than or equal to the preset gain. For example, the sum of the values of the preset objective function corresponding to each of the beamwidth sampling points can be as shown in the following formula (2):
[0121] M = å θ H(θ) (2)
[0122] H(0) is a piecewise function. Specifically, the value of H(0) corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point with gain greater than or equal to the preset gain is a preset positive number, and the value of H(0) corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point with gain less than the preset gain is a negative number with an absolute value equal to the preset positive number. For example, the value of H(0) corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point with gain greater than or equal to the preset gain can be 1, and the value of H(0) corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point with gain less than the preset gain can be -1.
[0123] Optionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device may, for example, further acquire at least one set of distances between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point such that the sum of the values of the preset target function is greater than the preset value. Then, the electronic device can determine, from the at least one set of distances between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point, a set of distances between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point as the target distance distributed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the radome model.
[0124] It should be understood that the present application does not limit how the electronic device determines, from the at least one set of distances between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point, a set of distances between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point as the target distance distributed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the radome model. For example, the electronic device may, for example, randomly determine, from the at least one set of distances between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point, a set of distances between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point as the target distance distributed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the radome model.
[0125] S203, generating the outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model by using the distributed target distance and the inner surface three-dimensional data.
[0126] The electronic device can generate the outer surface three-dimensional data of the radome model by fitting according to the distributed target distance and the inner surface three-dimensional data through a preset fitting algorithm. The preset fitting algorithm can be pre-stored in the electronic device by the user. Optionally, the preset fitting algorithm can be any existing fitting algorithm, such as a least square fitting algorithm.
[0127] As another possible implementation, the aforementioned material parameters may, for example, include at least one of the following: the insertion loss of the dielectric material to the radiation source signal, the insertion phase of the radiation source signal after passing through the radome.
[0128] In this implementation, taking an example of the material parameter including the insertion loss of the dielectric material to the radiation source signal, and the insertion phase of the radiation source signal after passing through the radome, the electronic device can adjust the preset first function according to the insertion loss of the dielectric material to the radiation source signal, and the insertion phase of the radiation source signal after passing through the radome, to obtain an adjusted first function. The adjusted first function can simulate the gain of the radiation source signal at each beamwidth sampling point after passing through the radome based on the insertion loss of the dielectric material to the radiation source signal, and the insertion phase of the radiation source signal after passing through the radome.
[0129] Then, the electronic device can input the inner surface three-dimensional data, the target radiation parameter, and the material parameter, and each beamwidth sampling point into the adjusted function, to simulate the gain of the radiation source signal at each beamwidth sampling point after passing through the radome.
[0130] For example, assuming that the preset function is as shown in the above formula (1), the adjusted first function can be as shown in the following formula (3) based on the insertion loss of the dielectric material to the radiation source signal, and the insertion phase of the radiation source signal after passing through the radome:
[0131]
[0132] wherein, λ g represents the corresponding wavelength of the radiation source signal propagating in the radome medium. tan δ represents the corresponding loss tangent of the radome medium. wherein, represents the insertion loss of the dielectric material to the radiation source signal. represents the insertion phase of the radiation source signal after passing through the radome. The other parameters in formula (3) represent the same meaning as in formula (1), which will not be described here.
[0133] Further, as a possible implementation, for the gain of any beamwidth sampling point, the electronic device can also normalize the gain of the beamwidth sampling point, so that the gain of each beamwidth sampling point is less than 1, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device in subsequent processing of the gain of the radiation source signal at each beamwidth sampling point after passing through the radome.
[0134] Optionally, for the gain of any beamwidth sampling point, the electronic device can divide the gain of the beamwidth sampling point by the maximum gain among the gains of each beamwidth sampling point, to obtain the normalized gain of the beamwidth sampling point. Then, the electronic device can obtain the target distance between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point according to the normalized gain of the radiation source signal at each beamwidth sampling point after passing through the radome, and the above constraint condition.
[0135] For example, the electronic device can obtain the normalized gain of the beamwidth sampling point by the following formula (4):
[0136]
[0137] wherein E(θ) represents the gain of any beamwidth sampling point, E max (θ) represents the maximum gain among the gains of the beamwidth sampling points. G represents the normalized gain of the beamwidth sampling point.
[0138] Still taking the cavity surrounded by the inner surface of the radome as a semi-cylindrical cavity and the cavity penetrating through the opposite two sidewalls of the radome as an example, the application further provides another method for generating a radome model, which comprises the following steps:
[0139] Step 1: obtaining a planar modeling result of the radome model.
[0140] For example, the planar modeling result of the radome model can be as shown in the foregoing Figure 4 The planar modeling abstracts the actual antenna as the point O shown in the following Figure 6
[0141] For example, the actual antenna can be a microstrip patch antenna, Figure 7 which is a top view schematic diagram of a microstrip patch antenna provided by the application. Figure 6 which is a schematic diagram of the laminated structure of a microstrip patch antenna provided by the application. For example, the length direction of the microstrip patch antenna is the same as the axial direction of the semi-cylindrical cavity. Figure 7 and Figure 8 For example, taking the microstrip patch antennas shown in the foregoing Figure 9 which is the H-plane normalized pattern of the microstrip patch antenna.
[0142] Step 2: determining a plurality of first sampling points and the second sampling points corresponding to each first sampling point according to the planar modeling result of the radome model.
[0143] Step 3: obtaining the radiation parameters of the radiation source and the material parameters of the dielectric material used as the radome, and obtaining the inner surface three-dimensional data of the radome model according to the radiation parameters.
[0144] Step 4: inputting the inner surface three-dimensional data, the target radiation parameters, the material parameters, the insertion loss of the dielectric material to the radiation source signal, the insertion phase of the radiation source signal after penetrating through the radome into the adjusted function to simulate the gain of the radiation source signal at each beamwidth sampling point after penetrating through the radome.
[0145] For example, each beamwidth sampling point is located within the target beamwidth.
[0146] wherein the adjusted first function can be, for example, as shown in the aforementioned equation (3).
[0147] Step 5, for the gain of any beamwidth sampling point, divide the gain of the beamwidth sampling point by the maximum gain among the gains of the beamwidth sampling points, to obtain the normalized gain of the beamwidth sampling point.
[0148] Step 6, obtain another expression of the gain of each beamwidth sampling point by the following equation (5).
[0149] F(θ) = 20lg G (5)
[0150] wherein G represents the gain of the normalized antenna signal after passing through the radome at each beamwidth sampling point. F(θ) is another expression of the gain of each beamwidth sampling point.
[0151] Step 7, the value of H(θ) corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point with a gain greater than or equal to the preset gain is equal to 1, and the value of H(θ) corresponding to the beamwidth sampling point with a gain less than the preset gain is equal to -1, and the sum of the values of the preset target function corresponding to each beamwidth sampling point is obtained by the above equation (2).
[0152] Step 8, obtain the target distance between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point that makes the sum of the values of the above preset target function maximum. Then take the target distance between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point that makes the value of the target function maximum as the target distance between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point.
[0153] Step 9, determine the three-dimensional data of the outer surface of the radome according to the target distance between each first sampling point and the corresponding second sampling point, and the radius of the base surface of the semi-cylindrical shape.
[0154] Step 10, output the three-dimensional data of the outer surface of the radome, and the radius of the base surface of the semi-cylindrical shape.
[0155] Step 11, input the three-dimensional data of the outer surface of the radome, and the radius of the base surface of the semi-cylindrical shape into the 3D full-wave simulation software, and output the gain of each beamwidth sampling point after the antenna signal passes through the radome determined according to the three-dimensional data of the outer surface of the radome, and the radius of the base surface of the semi-cylindrical shape.
[0156] Exemplarily, Figure 9 An H-plane normalized directional diagram of a microstrip patch antenna provided in the present application, wherein the solid line represents a preset radiation directional diagram of a radiation source without a radome; and the dashed line represents a target radiation directional diagram of a radiation source with a radome. As shown in Figure 10As shown, the beam width of the antenna without radome is -60° to 60° at the 6dB drop on both sides of the maximum gain, that is, the FOV is equal to 120°. The beam width of the antenna with radome is -77° to 77°, that is, the FOV is equal to 157°. 157 is greater than 120, and therefore, the radome generated by the radome model generation method provided in the present application can widen the beam of the antenna.
[0157] The present application also provides a radome made of dielectric material. The radome can include an inner surface and an outer surface of the radome. The inner surface of the radome encloses a cavity to accommodate the radiation source in the cavity.

The specific method of determining the predetermined distance based on the predetermined beam width can refer to the method described in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described here.
[0159] The shape of the outer surface of the radome is determined based on the predetermined distance, the predetermined radiation parameters, the target radiation parameters, and the material parameters of the dielectric material. The outer surface of the radome is such that the radiation source signal reaches the target radiation parameters after passing through the outer surface of the radome. In some embodiments, as described above, the target beam width in the target radiation parameters can be greater than the predetermined beam width of the radiation source. And / or, the target gain in the target radiation parameters compensates for or compensates for the predetermined gain of the radiation source.

By enclosing the inner surface of the radome into a circular arc-shaped cavity, the reflection of the radiation source signal by the radome can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy loss of the radiation source signal caused by the radome.

For example, the material for making the radome can be any existing material that can be used as the radome of an antenna, such as Fiberglass Rainforced Plastics (FRP), ABS plastic (wherein A refers to acrylonitrile, B refers to butadiene, and S refers to styrene, and the ABS material is a terpolymer of the three monomers), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and the like.
