The operating frequency of millimeter wave is higher, the dielectric loss is higher, and the manufacturing precision of antenna module is also higher. Another technology using millimeter wave communication is low earth orbit satellite communication technology. Compared with the fifth generation mobile communication which needs to use the ground base station, low earth orbit satellite communication uses low earth orbit satellite above the ground, which is particularly beneficial to the application in remote areas, sea surface and other terrain limited areas.

[0033] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments, but is not limited to the embodiments.
[0034] Reference should be made to Figures 1 to 4The embodiment of the present application provides a kind of millimeter wave antenna for low-orbit satellite communication, including dielectric substrate 1, first circular polarization radiator 2, seven conductor columns 3, a 90-degree circular arc 4, second circular polarization radiator 5, ground plane 6 and feed point 7.Dielectric substrate 1 has four layers of conductors, for example copper conductor, in order first layer 11, second layer 12, third layer 13 and fourth layer 14, the conductor structure of first layer 11 is as shown in Figure 1 , The conductor structure of second layer 12 is as shown in Figure 2 , The conductor structure of third layer 13 is as shown in Figure 3 , The conductor structure of fourth layer 14 is as shown in Figure 4 . First layer 11 and second layer 12 are first medium, second layer 12 and third layer 13 are second medium, third layer 13 and fourth layer 14 are third medium.First circular polarization radiator 2 is in first layer 11, first circular polarization radiator 2 is centered with the first center 200 of first disc 20, two parallel chords 21 of the same length are cut through first disc 20, and the remaining conductor area (represented by diagonal area) after removing two cutting blocks 210 (represented by dotted line in the figure) outside two parallel chords 21. The two parallel chords 21 are not only parallel to each other, but also the same length. First circular polarization radiator 2 provides first Ku band mode and first Ka band mode. First circular polarization radiator 2 uses two parallel chords 21 to cut first disc 20 to generate circularly polarized resonance mode. The radius length of first disc 20 determines the resonance frequency of first Ku band mode, first Ku band mode is the basic resonance mode of first circular polarization radiator 2, and first Ka band mode is the high-order mode of first circular polarization radiator 2. The Ku band (or frequency band) is a lower frequency band of 17.3GHz to 20.2GHz, and the Ka band is a higher frequency band of 27.5GHz to 30GHz. In addition, the feed point 7 is also shown in Figure 1 , The conductor of the through hole is not conductive with first circular polarization radiator 2, which will be described later.
[0035] Seven conductor columns 3 vertically penetrate dielectric substrate 1, and connect first layer 11, second layer 12, third layer 13 and fourth layer 14. Seven conductor columns 3 are uniformly arranged in the left semicircle of first circular polarization radiator 2 with the first center 200 as the center, and the angle between the connecting line of the first and last of the seven conductor columns 3 and the two parallel chords 21 is 45 degrees. In Figure 1 , Seven conductor columns 3 are in the left semicircle, and first circular polarization radiator 2 presents an angle of 45 degrees to the left based on two parallel chords 21. Seven conductor columns 3 are used to adjust the offset of the radiation field type, so that the radiation direction is perpendicular to dielectric substrate 1, to meet the application requirements of satellite communication.
[0036] 90-degree circular arc 4 is in the second layer 12 and the center of the 90-degree circular arc 4 is the projection of the first center 200 in the second layer 12, having a first end 41 and a second end 42, the first end 41 is on the right side of the line connecting the first and the last of the seven conductor posts 3, and the second end 42 is above the line connecting the first and the last of the seven conductor posts 3, wherein the line connecting the first end 41 and the second end 42 is parallel to the two parallel chords 21, the second end 42 is connected to the first circular polarized radiator 2 by a via hole, and the first end 41 is a via hole conductor directly connected to the feed point 7. The 90-degree circular arc 4 is used to make the polarization of the first Ku-band mode and the first Ka-band mode both right-handed. The line width of the 90-degree circular arc 4 is not limited, for example, about 5 mils is preferred, and slightly increasing or decreasing the width does not greatly affect the circular polarization characteristics. In the present embodiment, preferably, the radius of the 90-degree circular arc 4 is smaller than the radius of the first circular disk 20. In the present embodiment, preferably, the two parallel chords 21 include a right side chord and a left side chord, and the projection of the 90-degree circular arc 4 on the first layer 11 crosses the right side chord, but is not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, preferably, the two parallel chords 21 include a right side chord and a left side chord, and the projection of the 90-degree circular arc 4 on the first layer 11 crosses the right side chord, but is not limited thereto. Figure 2 In the present embodiment, the 90-degree circular arc 4 is a quarter circular arc present in the upper right region.
[0037] The second circular polarized radiator 5 is in the third layer 13 and has the shape of a truncated rectangular, providing the second Ku-band mode and the second Ka-band mode. The way of truncating the rectangular to generate circular polarization is to select two opposite corners of the four corners and cut off a pair of small areas of the same size at the two opposite corners. The geometric center 500 of the rectangular is the projection of the first center 200 in the third layer 13, wherein the short side 51 of the rectangular is parallel to the two parallel chords 21, and a right-angled triangle is used to truncate the rectangular at the top point 501 on the right side and the top point 502 on the left side, respectively. The right-angled triangle is, for example, an isosceles triangle with a 90-degree top angle. Using an isosceles triangle with a 90-degree top angle as the truncation of the rectangular is to simplify the adjustment of the parameters of the circular polarization characteristics. Other similar ways of truncation can also achieve the same effect, and the shape of the truncation is not limited. In the present embodiment, the top point where the short side 51 on the right upper side and the long side 52 on the right lower side are connected is referred to as the right top point, and the top point where the short side 51 on the left lower side and the long side 52 on the left upper side are connected is referred to as the left top point. The two top points are truncated by isosceles triangles with a 90-degree top angle, respectively. Therefore, the second circular polarized radiator 5 is a truncated rectangular using two isosceles triangles with a 90-degree top angle to generate the resonant mode of circular polarization. Referring to Figure 3, the feed point 7 is coupled in by a via hole passing through but not contacting the second circular polarized radiator 5, so that both the second Ku-band mode and the second Ka-band mode are right-hand circularly polarized. The length of the long side 52 of the rectangle determines the resonant frequency of the second Ku-band mode, and the length of the short side 51 of the rectangle determines the resonant frequency of the second Ka-band mode. In terms of structure, in the figure of the present embodiment, the length of the leg of the isosceles triangle with a 90-degree vertex angle is less than the distance from the projection of the feed point 7 on the third layer 13 (i.e. the via hole of the feed point 7) to the short side 51 on the right side of the rectangle.
[0038] The ground plane 6 is on the fourth layer 14. The feed point 7 is on the fourth layer 14, and the feed point 7 passes through the ground plane 6 of the fourth layer 14 and the second circular polarized radiator 5 of the third layer 13 by a via hole, and connects the first end 41 of the 90-degree circular arc 4 of the second layer 12. The detailed coupling-in manner of the feed point 7 by a via hole is explained as follows: the feed point 7 passes through the ground plane 6 and the second circular polarized radiator 5 by a via hole, and passes through the first end 41 of the 90-degree circular arc 4 to connect the second end 41 of the 90-degree circular arc 4 to the first circular polarized radiator 2, so that the first circular polarized radiator 2 is directly coupled in. As for the second circular polarized radiator 5, the conductor of the via hole of the feed point 7 forms a ring gap by passing through the third layer 13, so as to be coupled in in a capacitive manner. In addition, the via hole of the feed point 7 can form a through hole (as shown) in the first circular polarized radiator 2 of the first layer 11, but this through hole in the first layer 11 is not useful; if the through hole is not to be formed in the first layer 11, so that the conductor at the projection position of the feed point 7 is flat, then a buried hole process technology (so that there is no via hole between the first layer 11 and the second layer 12) needs to be used, and both of them do not affect the antenna characteristics. Figure 1
[0039] Further, based on the situation that the line connecting the first end 41 and the second end 42 of the 90-degree circular arc 4 is parallel to the two parallel chords 21, wherein the projection of the first end 41 and the second end 42 of the 90-degree circular arc 4 on the first layer 11 is located within the first circularly polarized radiator 2, and the projection of the first end 41 and the second end 42 of the 90-degree circular arc 4 on the third layer 13 is also located within the second circularly polarized radiator 5. Importantly, the second end 42 serves as a connection feed point of the first circularly polarized radiator 2, so that the first Ka-band mode as a high-order mode is a right-hand polarized mode. For the first Ku-band mode as a basic mode, if there is no path of the 90-degree circular arc 4, and a through-hole is directly fed at the position of the second end 42, then the first Ku-band mode as a lower frequency mode is a left-hand polarized mode. In fact, if the first Ka-band mode as a high-order mode is not considered, and only the first Ku-band mode as a lower frequency mode is required to be right-hand polarized, then a through-hole is directly fed at the position of the first end 41, and the 90-degree circular arc 4 is not used (in this case, the first end 41 is directly fed, and the first Ka-band mode as a high-order mode is left-hand polarized). Using this feeding method of the 90-degree circular arc 4, for the first Ku-band mode as a lower frequency mode, the result of right-hand polarized mode can also be achieved, and the first Ka-band mode as a high-order mode is right-hand polarized. In other words, the 90-degree circular arc 4 is used to make the polarization of the first Ku-band mode and the first Ka-band mode both right-hand.
[0040] As shown in the above antenna structure, the projections of the center of the seven conductor posts 3, the center of the 90° arc 4, and the geometric center 500 of the second circularly polarized radiator 5 on the first layer 11 all coincide with the first center 200 of the first circularly polarized radiator 2, thus forming a vertical stack structure. The shapes in the figures are not completely to scale and are only for illustration. In terms of the detailed dimensions of the antenna structure, the thickness of each layer of conductors is 0.7 mils, and there are three layers of dielectric, with the first layer of roger ro4003 having a thickness of 19.7 mils, the second layer of roger ro4450f having a thickness of 11.8 mils, and the third layer of roger ro4003 having a thickness of 19.7 mils. The radius of the first disk 20 is 60 mils, the length of the two parallel chords 21 is 102 mils, and the distance between the projection of the feed point 7 on the first layer 11 and the nearest parallel chord 21 (the right-hand chord) is 11 mils. The radius of the 90° arc 4 is 45 mils. The length of the short side 51 and the long side 52 of the rectangle is 93 mils and 152 mils, respectively. The length of the short side 51 and the long side 52 here is the length before the corners are truncated, and the length of the leg of the isosceles triangle with a top angle of 90° is 16.5 mils. Furthermore, the distance between the projection of the feed point 7 on the third layer 13 and the short side 51 of the rectangle is 45 mils, and the distance between the projection of the feed point 7 on the third layer 13 and the long side 52 of the rectangle is 15 mils. The feed point 7 is positioned so that the impedance value is close to 50 ohms, and the right-handed polarized mode is excited.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 , the curve CPW is the characteristic of the above antenna structure, and the curve CPWG is the co-planar waveguide of the structure shown in Figure 9 . The frequency ranges of the first Ku-band mode and the second Ku-band mode partially overlap to increase the circularly polarized bandwidth, and the Ku-band modes in Figure 5 are very close and almost completely overlap, so the mode curves appear to be a single mode. The frequency ranges of the first Ka-band mode and the second Ka-band mode partially overlap to increase the circularly polarized bandwidth. In the case of the curve CPWG, the Ka-band in Figure 5 clearly shows two modes, with the lower-frequency mode being generated by the first circularly polarized radiator 2 and the higher-frequency mode being generated by the second circularly polarized radiator 5. Similarly, in the case of the curve CPW, the overlapping modes can also be seen. In the desired frequency range, please refer to the curve CPW in Figures 5 to 8 , the S11 parameter of the applied frequency can reach -10 dB. Please refer to Figure 6 , the axial ratio in the desired frequency range is below 3 (dB). Furthermore, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , this antenna has good gain and antenna efficiency.Figure 9 All structures are represented by the first layer L1, the second layer L2, the third layer L3 and the ground layer GND. In actual production, the connection mode of the feed point affects the performance of the antenna product. If a connector is used to directly feed under the ground plane of the fourth layer 14, as long as the ground plane is large enough, the performance of the original design parameters of the antenna (such as directivity or radiation field direction) is not affected, and Figure 9 The curve CPWG represents the antenna characteristics of the coplanar waveguide feed. This feed mode is easy to apply to the case where the antenna substrate and the circuit board are shared or assembled together. In Figures 5 to 8 The curve CPWG represents the antenna characteristics of the coplanar waveguide feed. This feed mode is easy to apply to the case where the antenna substrate and the circuit board are shared or assembled together. In
[0042] In summary, the millimeter wave antenna for low-orbit satellite communication provided by the embodiment of the present application is a dual-frequency circularly polarized millimeter wave antenna. The first circularly polarized radiator is directly connected and fed to generate dual-frequency circularly polarized modes. The 90-degree circular arc feed mode makes the dual-frequency circularly polarized modes of the first circularly polarized radiator all right-handed. The second circularly polarized radiator is coupled and fed to also provide dual-frequency right-handed circularly polarized modes. This dual-frequency antenna design has the advantages of reducing the antenna area and providing a larger right-handed circularly polarized bandwidth, and only uses a single feed, which has high industrial application value.
