Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microwave antenna technology, and more specifically, to a differential disk-fed taiji-patterned circularly polarized antenna based on an inverted F structure. Background Technology

[0002] The polarization of electromagnetic waves characterizes the time-varying properties of the spatial electric field intensity vector. Based on different polarization methods, antennas can be classified into linearly polarized antennas, circularly polarized antennas, and elliptically polarized antennas. Circularly polarized antennas evolved from linearly polarized antennas. A circularly polarized antenna refers to an antenna whose instantaneous electric field trajectory is a circle. According to the propagation direction, circular polarization is further divided into left-handed and right-handed circular polarization. The principle of realizing a circularly polarized antenna is to generate two spatially orthogonal linearly polarized components with equal amplitude and a 90° phase difference. Circularly polarized antennas are widely used in radar, electronic countermeasures, reconnaissance and jamming, communication, remote sensing, and telemetry. Therefore, modern communication systems need to achieve stable communication under complex environments and conditions, which places high demands on the stability and anti-interference capabilities of antennas. Circularly polarized antennas possess many unique properties. They can accept electromagnetic waves of arbitrary polarization, thus avoiding polarization loss, and can suppress multipath scattering and multipath interference, while also avoiding the Faraday rotation effect.
