Therefore, open satellite positioning and navigation antennas that are compatible with multiple satellite navigation systems are increasingly becoming the mainstream in the industry.

[0003] Modern satellite positioning and navigation antennas mainly stack high-frequency radiating elements and low-frequency radiating elements to expand the bandwidth. However, when high-frequency and low-frequency radiating elements are stacked together, they have a strong mutual coupling effect, resulting in poor convergence of active S-parameters, low antenna gain, which is not conducive to signal reception and affects positioning stability and accuracy.

[0031] This invention provides a satellite positioning and navigation antenna, wherein a dielectric substrate, a low-frequency dielectric plate, a low-frequency radiating layer, and a high-frequency radiating layer are stacked sequentially. A first array composed of multiple first sub-element oscillators is provided on the dielectric substrate, and a second array composed of multiple second sub-element oscillators is provided on the low-frequency dielectric plate. The first array and the second array can jointly reduce the coupling effect between the high-frequency radiating layer and the low-frequency radiating layer and improve the gain, so as to be suitable for receiving signals from different satellite navigation systems.

[0032] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 1 The satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 includes a dielectric substrate 11, a low-frequency radiating element 2, a high-frequency radiating element 3, and multiple sub-element oscillators. The low-frequency radiating element 2 is disposed on the front side of the dielectric substrate 11, and the high-frequency radiating element 3 is disposed on top of the low-frequency radiating element 2; that is, the high-frequency radiating element 3, the low-frequency radiating element 2, and the dielectric substrate 11 are stacked sequentially. A ground layer 12 is provided on the front side of the dielectric substrate 11. The ground layer 12 is a metal layer.

[0033] Specifically, the low-frequency radiating unit 2 includes a low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 and a low-frequency radiating layer 22. The low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 is disposed on the front side of the dielectric substrate 11. The low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 includes a front side, a back side, and a sidewall 212. The back side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 is connected to the front side of the dielectric substrate 11. The low-frequency radiating layer 22 is disposed on the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 to radiate low-frequency signals. In this embodiment, the low-frequency radiating layer 22 operates in the 1164MHz-1278MHz frequency band.

[0034] The low-frequency radiation layer 22 is annular, and its extension direction corresponds to the extension direction of the edge of the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. This makes the low-frequency radiation layer 22 a ring structure surrounding the high-frequency radiation unit 3, ensuring that the low-frequency radiation layer 22 does not coincide with or overlap with the projection of the high-frequency radiation unit 3 onto the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21, thereby reducing the mutual coupling between the low-frequency radiation unit 2 and the high-frequency radiation unit 3. In one embodiment, the low-frequency radiation layer 22 is annular, and the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 is circular.

[0035] The high-frequency radiation unit 3 includes a high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 and a high-frequency radiation layer 32. The high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 is disposed on the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. The high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 includes a front side and a back side, with the back side of the high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 connected to the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. The high-frequency radiation layer 32 is disposed on the front side of the high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 to radiate high-frequency signals. Specifically, in this embodiment, the high-frequency radiation layer 32 operates in the 1557MHz-1612MHz frequency band. In one embodiment, the front side of the high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 is circular, and the high-frequency radiation layer 32 is also correspondingly circular.

[0036] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of sub-element oscillators are divided into first sub-element oscillators 121 and second sub-element oscillators 211, wherein the plurality of first sub-element oscillators 121 form a first array and the plurality of second sub-element oscillators 211 form a second array. The first array and the second array interact to improve the isolation of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1, reduce the cross-polarization level, increase the gain, expand the bandwidth and optimize the radiation pattern, thereby improving the positioning stability and accuracy of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1.

[0037] A low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 is disposed on the front side of the dielectric substrate 11, covering a portion of the front side area of ​​the dielectric substrate 11, such that the edge area of ​​the front side of the dielectric substrate 11 is exposed, forming an edge portion 122. The low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 is disposed at the center of the front side of the dielectric substrate 11, such that the edge portion 122 is annular.

[0038] The first array is disposed on the edge portion 122 of the dielectric substrate 11. The plurality of first sub-element oscillators 121 of the first array are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the edge portion 122. That is to say, the plurality of first sub-element oscillators 121 of the first array are arranged around the low-frequency dielectric plate 21 to avoid mutual interference between the first array and the low-frequency radiation layer 22, the high-frequency radiation layer 32 and the second array, thereby improving electrical performance.

[0039] In one embodiment, the dielectric substrate 11 is circular, making the edge portion 122 annular, and the plurality of first sub-element oscillators 121 of the first array are uniformly arranged along the edge portion 122. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of first sub-element oscillators 121 of the first array have a centrally symmetrical structure about the same center point, which is beneficial to improving the symmetry of the radiation pattern of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 and improving the radiation performance.

[0040] The ground layer 12 is disposed on the front side of the dielectric substrate 11. The ground layer 12 is perforated to form the first sub-element oscillator 121; that is, the first sub-element oscillator 121 is a perforated or slotted structure disposed on the ground layer 12. Specifically, the first sub-element oscillator 121 includes two symmetrical first oscillator arms 1211. Each first oscillator arm 1211 includes a first arm 1212 and a second arm 1213. The first end of the first arm 1212 is connected to the edge of the front side of the dielectric substrate 11, and the second end of the first arm 1212 is connected to the second arm 1213. In one embodiment, the first arm 1212 and the second arm 1213 are arranged at an angle, preferably perpendicularly.

[0041] The first arms 1212 of the two first arms 1211 of the first sub-element oscillator 121 are arranged in parallel and extend in the same direction. The second arms 1213 of the two first arms 1211 of the first sub-element oscillator 121 extend in opposite directions, so that the two first arms 1211 of the first sub-element oscillator 121 have a symmetrical structure, which is beneficial to improving the symmetry of the radiation pattern of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 and enhancing the radiation performance.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first arm 1212 of the first arm 1211 of the first sub-element oscillator 121 extends from the edge of the front side of the dielectric substrate 11 toward the center of the front side of the dielectric substrate 11.

[0043] In one embodiment, combined Figure 3 The first oscillator arm 1211 of the first sub-element oscillator 121 is further provided with a third arm 1214, which is connected to the second end of the second arm 1213, so that the first oscillator arm 1211 forms a semi-enclosed structure. In one embodiment, the third arm 1214 is set at an angle to the second arm 1213, preferably perpendicular to it.

[0044] The satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 can improve the convergence of low-frequency active impedance, reduce the coupling effect between high-frequency radiation layer 32 and low-frequency radiation layer 22, reduce cross-polarization level, expand low-frequency bandwidth, and improve gain by setting the first sub-element oscillator 121.

[0045] The second array has a plurality of second sub-element oscillators 211 disposed on the side wall 212 of the low frequency dielectric plate 21. The plurality of second sub-element oscillators 211 of the second array are disposed sequentially along the extension direction of the side wall 212 of the low frequency dielectric plate 21. In other words, the plurality of second sub-element oscillators 211 of the second array are disposed around the low frequency dielectric plate 21 on the side wall 212 of the low frequency dielectric plate 21.

[0046] In one embodiment, the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 is circular, and the sidewall 212 of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 is correspondingly annular. The plurality of second sub-element oscillators 211 of the second array are uniformly arranged along the extending direction of the sidewall 212. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of second sub-element oscillators 211 of the second array have a centrally symmetrical structure about the same center point, which is beneficial to improving the symmetry of the radiation pattern of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 and enhancing its radiation performance.

[0047] The second sub-element oscillator 211 is a metal component. One end of the second sub-element oscillator 211 is disposed on the ground layer 12, and the other end is disposed on the edge of the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. Specifically, the second sub-element oscillator 211 includes two symmetrical second oscillator arms 2111, and the second oscillator arms 2111 include a third arm 2112 and a fourth arm 2113 connected to each other. The third arm 2112 is disposed on the side wall 212 of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 and is disposed along the thickness direction of the side wall 212. The first end of the third arm 2112 is connected to the ground layer 12, and the second end of the third arm 2112 is disposed on the edge of the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 and is connected to the edge of the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. The fourth arm 2113 is disposed on the edge of the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21, and the first end of the fourth arm 2113 is connected to the second end of the third arm 2112. The fourth arm 2113 extends along the edge of the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. The low-frequency radiation layer 22 disposed on the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 does not contact the second sub-element oscillator 211. The low-frequency radiation layer 22 is disposed close to the high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 relative to the second sub-element oscillator 211. In one embodiment, the third arm 2112 and the fourth arm 2113 are perpendicular to each other to facilitate manufacturing and reduce the difficulty of production and processing.

[0048] The third arms 2112 of the two second arms 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211 are arranged in parallel and extend in the same direction. The fourth arms 2113 of the two second arms 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211 extend in opposite directions, so that the two second arms 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211 have a symmetrical structure, which is beneficial to improving the symmetry of the radiation pattern of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 and enhancing the radiation performance.

[0049] In one embodiment, combined Figure 2The second sub-element oscillator 211 is disposed inside the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21 and is not exposed outside the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. Specifically, a first metallized via 213 is provided on the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21, which connects to the second sub-element oscillator 211 to facilitate connection between the second sub-element oscillator 211 and the front side of the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. Furthermore, the third arm 2112 of each of the two second oscillator arms 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211 is also connected through the second metallized via 123 disposed inside the low-frequency dielectric substrate 21. Preferably, the first metallized via 213 corresponds to the intersection of the third arm 2112 and the fourth arm 2113 of the second oscillator arm 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211. The second metallized via 123 corresponds to the first end of the third arm 2112 of each of the two second oscillator arms 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211.

[0050] In one embodiment, combined Figure 4 The two second oscillator arms 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211 are connected, and each second oscillator arm 2111 has multiple bends 2114, forming a bent structure. The two second oscillator arms 2111 of the second sub-element oscillator 211 are symmetrical to each other and connected, making the second sub-element oscillator 211 an integrated symmetrical structure. Preferably, the second oscillator arm 2111 is divided into a protruding structure and a concave structure by the bends 2114, with the concave structure and the protruding structure arranged sequentially to improve the electrical performance of the second sub-element oscillator 211.

[0051] The satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 can improve the convergence of the low-frequency active impedance by setting the second sub-element oscillator 211, reduce the coupling effect between the high-frequency radiation layer 32 and the low-frequency radiation layer 22, reduce the cross-polarization level, expand the bandwidth, and improve the high-frequency and low-frequency gain by setting the second sub-element oscillator 211.

[0052] In one embodiment, the plurality of first sub-element oscillators 121 of the first array are centrally symmetrical about a first point, and the plurality of second sub-element oscillators 211 of the second array are also centrally symmetrical about the first point, so as to improve the symmetry of the radiation pattern of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 and enhance its radiation performance.

[0053] In a further embodiment, the first array and the second array are correspondingly arranged. Along the extending direction of the edge portion 122 of the dielectric substrate 11, each first sub-element oscillator 121 is correspondingly arranged with two second sub-element oscillators 211, and the two second sub-element oscillators 211 are respectively arranged on both sides of the corresponding first sub-element oscillator 121. Specifically, the two second sub-element oscillators 211 are respectively arranged on the sides of the two first oscillator arms 1211 of the corresponding first sub-element oscillator 121, reducing the coupling effect between the second sub-element oscillator 211 and the first sub-element oscillator 121 and improving electrical performance.

[0054] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, a high-frequency feed point 5 is also provided on the front side of the high-frequency dielectric substrate 31, which is used to feed the high-frequency radiation layer 32; a low-frequency feed point (not shown) is provided on the low-frequency dielectric substrate, which is used to feed the low-frequency radiation layer 22.

[0055] Specifically, the low-frequency feed point is fed through a low-frequency feed needle, which passes through the low-frequency feed point 4 disposed on the low-frequency radiation layer 22. Figure 1 In a partial perspective view, the low-frequency feed point 4 is disposed on the low-frequency radiation layer 22 to feed the low-frequency radiation layer 22. The low-frequency feed pin (not shown) is also connected to the ground layer 12 disposed on the dielectric substrate 11; that is, the low-frequency feed pin is connected to both the low-frequency feed point 4 and the ground layer 12. In one embodiment, the low-frequency feed point 4 is connected to an external device via an external cable, so that the external device can feed signals to the low-frequency feed point 4 through the external cable.

[0056] Multiple low-frequency feed points 4 are provided on the low-frequency dielectric substrate. These multiple low-frequency feed points 4 are correspondingly connected to multiple low-frequency feed pins. These multiple low-frequency feed points 4 feed different regions of the low-frequency radiation layer 22, ensuring that each region of the low-frequency radiation layer 22 can be well excited and radiate signals, thus improving the symmetry of the radiation pattern of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1. Preferably, the multiple low-frequency feed points 4 are uniformly arranged around the same center.

[0057] Specifically, the high-frequency feed point 5 is connected to the high-frequency radiation layer 32 via a high-frequency feed pin (not shown) to feed the high-frequency radiation layer 32. The high-frequency feed pin is also connected to a ground layer 12 disposed on the dielectric substrate 11; that is, the two ends of the high-frequency feed pin are respectively the high-frequency feed point 5 and the ground layer 12, and the high-frequency feed pin also passes through the high-frequency radiation layer 32. In one embodiment, the high-frequency feed point 5 is connected to an external device via an external cable, so that the external device can feed signals to the high-frequency feed point 5 through the external cable.

[0058] The high-frequency dielectric substrate 31 is provided with multiple high-frequency feed points 5, which are connected to multiple high-frequency feed pins. These multiple high-frequency feed points 5 respectively feed different regions of the high-frequency radiation layer 32, so that each region of the high-frequency radiation layer 32 can be well excited and radiated, thereby improving the symmetry of the radiation pattern of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1. Preferably, the multiple high-frequency feed points 5 and the multiple low-frequency feed points 4 are uniformly arranged around the same center, and the distance between the high-frequency feed points 5 and the center is less than the distance between the low-frequency feed points 4 and the center.

[0059] The satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1 improves the isolation between two adjacent feed points among multiple low-frequency feed points 4 and multiple high-frequency feed points 5 by setting a first sub-element oscillator 121 and a second sub-element oscillator 211, thereby enhancing the radiation performance of the satellite positioning and navigation antenna 1.
