Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microwave antennas, and in particular relates to a differentially fed broadband high-isolation antenna array with co-directional circular polarization for transmission and reception. Background Art

[0002] Antennas, as basic devices for receiving and transmitting radio waves, are an essential component of wireless communication systems. Circularly polarized antennas are commonly used in vehicular communication systems, airborne communications, and satellite communications. With the explosive growth in demand for information and data exchange, and the emergence of advanced applications based on massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and indoor directional wireless power transmission systems, the use of multi-port antennas for both transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) offers significant advantages, especially when considering the size and possible compactness of the antenna system. For such applications, improving isolation between ports remains a critical and challenging problem. Therefore, achieving broadband, high-isolation circularly polarized antenna arrays in a limited space has become a challenge in current wireless communications.

[0003] The paper "Dual-circularly polarized patch antenna using simple isolation techniques and its array application, (PL Bihan, Y. Zhaksylyk, PDHRe, SK Podilchak, M. García-Vigueras, and G. Goussetis, 12th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2018), 2018, pp. 1-5)" proposes a simple and low-cost aperture-coupled circularly polarized antenna. This antenna uses slot feeding to cancel surface currents in a specific area of ​​the antenna. However, this solution suffers from low port isolation and difficulty expanding to more operating frequency bands.

[0004] The paper "Monostatic Co-Polarized Full-Duplex Antenna with Left or Right-Hand Circular Polarization (Jaegeun Ha, Mohamed A. Elmansouri, PrathapValaleprasannakumar. IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2017:10.1109)" proposes a high-isolation circularly polarized antenna based on a beamforming network. This antenna achieves port isolation of at least 47 dB in the 2.4-2.5 GHz frequency band, but its structure is not conducive to miniaturization and integration, and it is difficult to further expand the bandwidth.

[0005] The paper "Dual-Band and Dual-Circularly Polarized Single-Layer Microstrip Array Based on Multiresonant Modes (Jin-Dong Zhang, Lei Zhu, Neng-Wu Liu, WenWu, IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2017:1428-1433)" proposes a circularly polarized antenna based on a thin single-layer substrate and a planar cross-junction. This antenna's port isolation needs to be further improved in the 2.4 GHz WLAN band, and structural limitations make it difficult to apply to more frequency bands.

[0006] Currently, relevant research has reported high-isolation dual-circularly polarized antennas. However, these reports generally lack port isolation or have too narrow an operating band, making their implementation methods inapplicable to other frequency bands. Therefore, realizing a broadband, high-isolation dual-circularly polarized antenna array is a challenging and important topic in the field of microwave antenna technology. Summary of the Invention
