Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an omnidirectional antenna, and more particularly to a high-gain omnidirectional antenna based on a trapezoidal ridge waveguide. Background Technology

[0002] An omnidirectional antenna is an antenna that radiates energy uniformly in a 360-degree horizontal plane. Omnidirectional antennas are widely used in point-to-multipoint communication, broadcasting, data transmission, and the construction of wireless spread spectrum networks, even when the positions of the receiver and transmitter are variable or uncertain. Dipole antennas, monopole antennas, biconical antennas, disk antennas, and loop antennas are the most widely used forms of omnidirectional antennas. Due to their inherent structural symmetry, these antennas can achieve good roundness; however, their polarization direction is always vertical, which limits their application in communication systems.

[0003] Scatter communication, as a long-distance communication method, is widely used in the field of communications. Point-to-multipoint vehicle-mounted communication equipment and shipborne mobile scatter communication equipment can realize real-time communication between a central base station and multiple peripheral stations, and a high-gain horizontally polarized omnidirectional antenna with an omnidirectional radiation mode is a good choice. However, compared with vertically polarized omnidirectional antennas, horizontally polarized omnidirectional antennas are more difficult to design.

[0004] The paper "Horizontally polarized omnidirectional antenna array using cascaded cavities" proposes a dual-polarized saber antenna for automotive applications. This dual-polarized saber antenna has a maximum gain of 8.64 dBi. Horizontal and vertical polarization are achieved through a thin resonant cavity and a folded slot, respectively. The structure is compact, with a cross-sectional area of ​​only 0.24λ0*0.24λ0, where λ0 is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave at the center frequency within the antenna's operating frequency band. In fact, omnidirectional antennas with gains exceeding 10 dBi are rarely reported, especially horizontally polarized omnidirectional antennas, which are more difficult to design. However, high-gain horizontally polarized omnidirectional antennas are essential for achieving better communication quality in long-distance scattering communications. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of this invention lies in constructing a high-gain omnidirectional antenna based on a trapezoidal ridge waveguide using an antenna radiating element and a feeding network. The antenna radiating element is composed of a first trapezoidal metal waveguide and a second trapezoidal metal waveguide. The first trapezoidal metal waveguide has a first rectangular ridge and 11 first rectangular slots, and the second trapezoidal metal waveguide has a second rectangular ridge and 11 second rectangular slots. Introducing the first rectangular ridge into the first trapezoidal metal waveguide can reduce the cutoff frequency of the first trapezoidal metal waveguide, making the antenna structure smaller and more compact. Introducing the second rectangular ridge into the second trapezoidal metal waveguide can reduce the cutoff frequency of the second trapezoidal metal waveguide, making the antenna structure smaller and more compact. The 11 first rectangular slots on the first left and first right plates of the first trapezoidal metal waveguide can uniformly couple the symmetrical fields present on the first left and first right plates of the first trapezoidal metal waveguide to generate an ideal radiation pattern. Similarly, the 11 second rectangular slots on the second left and second right plates of the second trapezoidal metal waveguide can uniformly couple the symmetrical fields present on the second left and second right plates of the second trapezoidal metal waveguide to generate an ideal radiation pattern. The feed network includes a 1-to-2 stripline power divider, a first TEM mode-to-TE01 mode conversion power divider, a second TEM mode-to-TE01 mode conversion power divider, a rectangular dielectric substrate, and a microstrip line conversion structure. The two-way stripline power divider outputs the energy of the input signal to the first TEM mode to TE01 mode converter and the second TEM mode to TE01 mode converter in a 1:1 ratio. The function of the first and second TEM mode to TE01 mode converters is to convert the TEM mode electromagnetic waves transmitted in the two-way stripline power divider into TE01 mode electromagnetic waves for transmission on the first and second trapezoidal metal waveguides. Signal interconnection and impedance matching are achieved through the first and second TEM mode to TE01 mode converters. The microstrip line-strip line conversion structure has a discontinuous structure in the middle, so a first set of metal pillars and a second set of metal pillars are used to prevent energy leakage. The coaxial SMA connector in the microstrip line-strip line conversion structure is model SMA-KFD70702, which supports a frequency range of DC-40GHz, covering the required operating frequency band. Through the design of the first trapezoidal metal waveguide, the second trapezoidal metal waveguide, 11 first rectangular slots and 11 second rectangular slots, the omnidirectional radiation performance of the azimuth plane of the present invention is improved and a high gain of 11dBi is achieved. Thus, the present invention can achieve complete omnidirectional radiation in the horizontal direction and has a stable high gain (up to 11dBi). Attached Figure Description
