Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of communication technology, and particularly relates to an antenna and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Compared to 4G (the fourth generation mobile communication technology), 5G (fifth generation mobile networks) boasts higher data rates, greater network capacity, and lower latency. 5G frequency planning encompasses both low- and high-frequency bands. The low-frequency band (3-6 GHz) offers excellent propagation characteristics and abundant spectrum resources. Therefore, the development of antenna units and arrays for low-frequency communication applications has become a research and development hotspot.

However, their narrow bandwidth and large antenna size at low frequencies restrict their application in 5G low-frequency mobile communications. Summary of the Invention

[0060] It should be noted that the S mentioned in the following description 11 It refers to one of the S parameters, indicating the return loss characteristics. Generally, a network analyzer is used to test the loss dB value and impedance characteristics. 11 Indicates the transmission efficiency of the antenna. The larger the value, the greater the energy reflected back by the antenna itself, and the lower the efficiency of the antenna.
[0061] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an antenna. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of an antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 is a top view of an antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the antenna includes a dielectric layer 1 , a reference electrode layer 2 , at least one radiation structure 3 , at least one first microstrip line 4 and at least one second microstrip line 5 .
[0062] The dielectric layer 1 has a first surface (lower surface) and a second surface (upper surface) that are opposite to each other.
[0063] The reference electrode layer 2 is disposed on the first surface of the dielectric layer 1 and has at least one slot 21 therein. The radiating structures 3 are disposed on the second surface of the dielectric layer 1, and the orthographic projection of one radiating structure 3 on the dielectric layer 1 is located within the orthographic projection of one slot 21 of the reference electrode layer 2 on the dielectric layer 1. For example, when there are multiple radiating structures 3, there are also multiple slots 21 on the corresponding reference electrode layer 2. In this case, the radiating structures 3 and the slots 21 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence. It should be noted that in the disclosed embodiment, the reference electrode layer 2 may be a ground electrode layer, i.e., the potential written to the reference electrode layer 2 is the ground potential.
[0064] The radiating structure 3 includes a plurality of radiating portions arranged at intervals, each of which includes radiating elements 301 arranged at intervals. For example, the radiating portions in each radiating structure 3 include at least a first radiating portion 31 and a second radiating portion 32. In this case, the first radiating portion 31 and the second radiating portion 32 both include radiating elements 301 arranged at intervals. It should be noted that in the embodiments disclosed herein, each radiating portion is described as including two radiating elements 301 arranged at intervals. However, it should be understood that the number of radiating portions in each radiating portion is not limited to two and can be specifically set according to the performance requirements of the antenna.
[0065] The first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line 5 are both arranged on the second surface of the dielectric layer 1, and one first microstrip line 4 is configured to feed two radiating elements 301 in a first radiating portion 31.
[0066] The second microstrip line 5 is configured to feed two radiating elements 301 in one second radiating portion 32 , and the feeding directions of the first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line 5 are different.
[0067] For example, when there are multiple radiation structures 3, there are also multiple corresponding first radiation parts 31 and second radiation parts 32. In this case, the first microstrip line 4 can be set in a one-to-one correspondence with the first radiation part 31, and the second microstrip line 5 can be set in a one-to-one correspondence with the second radiation part 32. In some examples, the feeding direction of one of the first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line 5 is the vertical direction Y, and the feeding direction of the other is the horizontal direction X. It should be noted that the feeding direction of the first microstrip line 4 is the direction in which the input end of the first microwave signal is excited and fed into the first radiation part 31; the feeding direction of the second microwave line is the direction in which the input end of the second microwave signal is excited and fed into the second radiation part 32; and the horizontal direction X and the vertical direction Y are relative concepts, that is, when the feeding direction of the first microstrip line 4 is the vertical direction Y, the feeding direction of the second microstrip line 5 is the horizontal direction X, otherwise it is the opposite. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first microstrip line 4 is connected to the right side of the radiation structure 3 and its feeding direction is the vertical direction Y, and the second microstrip line 5 is connected to the bottom side of the radiation structure 3 and its feeding direction is the horizontal direction X.
[0068] Since in the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first radiating portion 31 and the second radiating portion 32 of the radiating structure 3 each include two radiating elements 301 arranged at intervals, and the two radiating elements 301 in the first radiating portion 31 are connected to a first microstrip line 4, and the two radiating elements 301 in the second radiating portion 32 are connected to a second microstrip line 5, that is, each radiating portion is fed in two through a feed line, thereby expanding the bandwidth and improving the antenna gain. At the same time, the feeding direction of the first microstrip line 4 is the vertical direction Y, that is, the horizontal polarization of the antenna is realized, and the feeding direction of the second microstrip line 5 is the horizontal direction X, that is, the vertical polarization of the antenna is realized. In other words, the antenna of the embodiment of the present disclosure is a dual-polarized antenna.
[0069] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, dielectric layer 1 in the antenna includes, but is not limited to, flexible materials, such as polyimide (PI) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Alternatively, dielectric layer 1 may be glass-based. In some examples, when dielectric layer 1 is made of PET, its thickness is 250 μm and its dielectric constant is 3.34.
[0070] In some examples, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of another antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 3 As shown, the dielectric layer 1 in the antenna is a composite film layer, comprising a first sub-dielectric layer 11, a first adhesive layer 12, a second sub-dielectric layer 13, a second adhesive layer 14, and a third sub-dielectric layer 15, stacked in sequence. The reference electrode layer 2 is disposed on the side of the first sub-dielectric layer 11 facing away from the first adhesive layer 12, i.e., the side of the first sub-dielectric layer 11 facing away from the first adhesive layer 12 serves as the first surface of the dielectric layer 1. The radiating element 301 is disposed on the side of the third sub-dielectric layer 15 facing away from the second adhesive layer 14, i.e., the side of the second sub-dielectric layer 13 facing away from the second adhesive layer 14 serves as the second surface of the dielectric layer 1. In some examples, the first and third sub-dielectric layers 11, 15 are made of, but are not limited to, PI; the second sub-dielectric layer 13 is made of, but are not limited to, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Both the first and second adhesive layers 12, 14 can be made of optically transparent adhesive (OCA).
[0071] In some examples, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of another antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 4 As shown, the dielectric layer 1 in this antenna is Figure 3The dielectric layer 1 of the antenna shown has the same structure, including a first sub-dielectric layer 11, a first adhesive layer 12, a second sub-dielectric layer 13, a second adhesive layer 14, and a third sub-dielectric layer 15, which are stacked in sequence. The reference electrode layer 2 is disposed on the side of the first sub-dielectric layer 11 near the first adhesive layer 12, i.e., the side of the first sub-dielectric layer 11 near the first adhesive layer 12 serves as the first surface of the dielectric layer 1. The radiating structure 3 is disposed on the side of the second sub-dielectric layer 13 near the second adhesive layer 14, i.e., the side of the second sub-dielectric layer 13 near the second adhesive layer 14 serves as the second surface of the dielectric layer 1. In some examples, the first sub-dielectric layer 11 and the third sub-dielectric layer 15 are made of, but not limited to, PI; the second sub-dielectric layer 13 is made of, but not limited to, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Both the first adhesive layer 12 and the second adhesive layer 14 can be made of optically transparent adhesive (OCA).
[0072] In some examples, Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of another antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 5 As shown, the dielectric layer 1 in this antenna includes a first sub-dielectric layer 11, a first adhesive layer 12, and a second sub-dielectric layer 13, which are stacked. The surface of the first sub-dielectric layer 11 facing away from the first adhesive layer 12 serves as the first surface of the dielectric layer 1, that is, the reference electrode layer 2 is provided on the side of the first sub-dielectric layer facing away from the first adhesive layer 12. The surface of the second sub-dielectric layer 13 facing away from the first adhesive layer 12 serves as the second surface of the dielectric layer 1, that is, the radiating structure is provided on the side of the second sub-dielectric layer 13 facing away from the first adhesive layer 12. The material of the first sub-dielectric layer 11 includes polyimide, and the material of the second sub-dielectric layer 13 includes polyethylene terephthalate, or the material of the first sub-dielectric layer 11 includes polyethylene terephthalate, and the material of the second sub-dielectric layer 13 includes polyimide.
[0073] In some examples, continue to refer to Figure 1 The first radiating portion 31 and the second radiating portion 32 in the radiating structure 3 each include two spaced radiating elements 301. In this case, the first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line 5 each include one connecting portion and two branching portions, that is, the first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line 5 both adopt a one-to-two structure. In this case, the two branches of the first microstrip line 4 are respectively connected to the two radiating elements 301 in the first radiating portion 31, that is, the branches of the first microstrip line 4 are connected to the radiating elements 301 in the first radiating portion 31 in a one-to-one correspondence. Correspondingly, the two branches of the second microstrip line 5 are respectively connected to the two radiating elements 301 in the second radiating portion 32, that is, the two branches of the second microstrip line 5 are connected to the two radiating elements in the second radiating portion 32 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0074] Continue to refer to Figure 1The orthographic projections of the first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line 5 on the dielectric layer 1 at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the slots on the reference electrode layer 2 on the dielectric layer 1, and the orthographic projections of the branches of the first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line on the dielectric layer 1 are both located within the orthographic projections of the slots on the reference electrode layer 2 on the dielectric layer 1. This arrangement allows for adjustment of the radiation direction of microwave signals.
[0075] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, a slot 21 and a radiating structure 3, as well as a first microstrip line 4 and a second microstrip line 5, are provided on the corresponding reference electrode layer 2 of the antenna, forming an antenna unit 10. In some examples, the length-to-width ratio of the antenna unit 10 is approximately 1:1, such as 1:0.8 to 1:1.25, and the length-to-thickness ratio is approximately 100:1 to 200:1. The shape of the slot 21 is the same as, or substantially the same as, the outline of the radiating structure 3. For example, if the slot 21 is rectangular, the outline of the radiating structure 3 is also rectangular. Figure 2 In the example, the slot 21 and the radiating structure 3 are both rectangular. In this case, each radiating structure 3 includes four radiating portions, which means that the radiating structure 3 includes not only the first radiating portion 31 and the second radiating portion 32, but also the third radiating portion 33 and the fourth radiating portion 34. For example, the third radiating portion 33 is arranged opposite the first radiating portion 31, and the fourth radiating portion 34 is arranged opposite the second radiating portion 32. The outline of each radiating portion is triangular, and each radiating element 301 is also a triangular sheet-like structure. In other words, each radiating structure 3 is composed of eight triangular sheet-like radiating elements 301. Continuing with reference to 1, the eight triangular sheet-like radiating elements 301 in each radiating structure 3 are spaced apart to define a "M"-shaped opening. The two horizontally arranged triangular sheet-like radiating elements 301 are connected to the first microstrip line 4, and the two vertically arranged triangular sheet-like radiating elements 301 are connected to the second microstrip line 5. The feeding end 41 of the first microstrip line 4 corresponds to horizontal polarization, and the feeding end 51 of the second microstrip line 5 corresponds to vertical polarization. In some examples, the spacing between two radiating elements 301 in each radiating portion is d1, and the spacing between adjacent radiating portions in each radiating structure 3 is d2, where d2>d1. This configuration is because the first microstrip line 4 and the second microstrip line 5 have different feeding directions. By properly setting the spacing between the radiating portions, mutual influence between the feed lines of the two polarization directions can be avoided.
[0076] Figure 6 for Figure 2 The S of the feeding end 41 of the first microstrip line 4 and the feeding end 51 of the second microstrip line 5 of the antenna unit 10 are shown. 11Parameter curve diagram, wherein the impedance bandwidth of the feeding end 41 of the first microstrip line 4 and the feeding end 51 of the second microstrip line 5 are both 1.5GHz (3-4.5GHz, S 11 <-10dB) / 1.5GHz(3-4.5GHz,S 11 <-6dB), the center frequency is 3.82GHz, such as Figure 6 As shown in m1 and m2. Figure 7a for Figure 2 The plane radiation pattern obtained by exciting the feeding end 41 of the first microstrip line 4 of the antenna unit 10 at f = 3.75 GHz; Figure 7a As shown, at a frequency of 3.75 GHz, the gain (0° / 90°) of the antenna unit 10 excited by the feeding end 41 of the first microstrip line 4 is 3.37 dBi / -6.12 dBi, and the half-power beam width is 92° / 74°; Figure 7b for Figure 2 The plane radiation pattern obtained by exciting the feeding end 51 of the second microstrip line 5 of the antenna unit 10 at f = 3.75 GHz is as shown in FIG. Figure 7b As shown, the gain (0° / 90°) of the antenna unit 10 excited by the feeding end 51 of the second microstrip line 5 is -6.10 dBi / 3.35 dBi, and the half-power lobe width is 92° / 74°.
[0077] In some examples, Figure 8 Schematic diagram of another antenna according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 8 As shown, the antenna includes the aforementioned four antenna elements 10, and also includes a first feed structure 6 and a second feed structure 7. The ratio of the width of the antenna elements 10 to the distance between adjacent antenna elements 10 is approximately 2:1, such as 1.9:0.95 to 1.8:0.85. The first feed structure 6 and the second feed structure 7 are both located on the second surface of the dielectric layer 1. The first feed structure 6 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first microstrip line 4 on the dielectric layer 1 and is configured to feed the first microstrip line 4. The second feed structure 7 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second microstrip line 5 on the dielectric layer 1 and is configured to feed the second microstrip line 5. In one example, the first microstrip line 4 and the first feed structure 6 are disposed on the same layer. In this case, the first microstrip line 4 and the first feed structure 6 are directly electrically connected.
