[0042] Reference Figures 1-6 In a specific embodiment, the phased array unit is divided into a first layer of dielectric board (101), a laminated board (102) and a second layer of dielectric board (103), and the two layers of dielectric boards are pressed into an integral structure by the laminated board. The upper surface (receiving layer) of the first layer of dielectric board (101) is printed with a rectangular metal patch (104) (i.e. a receiving element, which is a rectangular metal patch as a receiving element in this embodiment), a delay line metal patch (107) (i.e. a reflection delay element, which is a delay line metal patch as a reflection delay element in this embodiment) and a bias line metal patch (109) (i.e. a reflection delay element, which is a delay line metal patch as a reflection delay element in this embodiment). The rectangular metal patch first receives electromagnetic waves. On the one hand, due to the phase delay effect of the delay line metal patch, the polarization of the synthesized reflected electromagnetic waves is rotated to form cross-polarized reflected waves. On the other hand, the other half of the received electromagnetic waves flows to the lower layer of transmission metal patch (112) (i.e. a transmission element, which is a transmission metal patch as a transmission element in this embodiment) through the metal column, forming cross-polarized transmission waves.
[0043] On the first surface of the first layer of dielectric board, according to the current reversal principle, the connection points of the rectangular metal patch (104) and the delay line metal patch (107) are controlled by controlling the on-off of the first radio frequency switch element (118, 119), so as to control the direction of the reflected electromagnetic waves. The first radio frequency switch element can be a diode, and the direction of the reflected electromagnetic waves (reflected waves) is controlled by controlling the on-off of the diode.
[0044] On the sixth surface of the second layer of dielectric plate, the transmission element (112) is selected as a strip-shaped metal patch, which is divided into three sections, the middle section patch is connected with the two side section patches by using the second radio frequency switch element (120, 121), the middle section patch is connected with the left side section patch in a forward direction through the second radio frequency switch element (120), and the middle section patch is connected with the right side section patch in a reverse direction through the second radio frequency switch element (121), according to the current reversal principle, the on-off of the second radio frequency switch element is controlled to control the current direction on the strip-shaped metal patch, so as to control the phase of the transmitted electromagnetic wave (transmitted wave).
[0045] On the radio frequency, on the one hand, the first surface of the first layer of dielectric plate and the sixth surface of the second layer of dielectric plate are electromagnetically isolated by the metal floor (122), so that the reflected wave and the transmitted wave work independently without affecting each other; on the other hand, the connection is realized through the thick metal column (105, including 105_A, 105_B and 105_C), so as to realize the sharing of the incident electromagnetic wave.
[0046] On the direct current control, the first radio frequency switch element and the second radio frequency switch element for transmitting and receiving share the metal floor (122) as a reference ground through the first metal via (106), and then the direct current control line is introduced to the upper layer of the second layer of dielectric plate through the second metal via (108), the third metal via (114) and the fourth metal via (115), and the outgoing of the control line is uniformly controlled.
[0047] Through the joint action of the reflection bias line metal patch (109), the transmission bias line metal patch (113) and the sector-shaped metal element (110, 116), the transmission of the radio frequency signal on the direct current control line is suppressed, and the sector-shaped metal patch is used as the sector-shaped metal element in the embodiment. In order to ensure that the reflection and transmission units of the phased array unit are consistent in size, the width and length of the first layer of dielectric plate (101), the laminated plate (102) and the second layer of dielectric plate (103) are about 0.39λ0, and λ0 is the free space wavelength of the center frequency 5.8GHz.
[0048] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The simulation results of the phased array unit show that the receiving element (104), the reflection delay element (107), the reflection bias element (109) and the first radio frequency switch element (118, 119) on the first surface of the first layer medium plate (101) together form a reflection control part of the phased array unit, so that the phased array unit has stable 180° reflection phase difference in a wide frequency band; the transmission element (112), the parasitic element (111), the transmission bias element (113) and the second radio frequency switch (120, 121) on the second layer medium plate (103) together form a transmission control part of the phased array unit, so that the phased array unit has stable 180° transmission phase difference in a wide frequency band.
[0049] With reference to Figure 9 The bidirectional scanning performance diagram of the phased array unit with the bidirectional beam scanning function provided by the embodiment of the present application shows that the beam can be freely controlled in the scanning angle in the bidirectional direction and has no influence on each other. Due to the symmetry of the structure, only half of the scanning results are shown. It can be seen that the embodiment finally realizes the scanning in the bidirectional two-dimensional ±60° (that is, the reflection wave is in 0°-60° and the transmission wave is in 180°-240°), which proves the feasibility of the proposed scheme.
[0050] The embodiment of the present application has the following beneficial effects: the embodiment of the present application provides a phased array unit with bidirectional beam scanning function, the phased array unit includes a first layer medium plate, a laminated plate and a second layer medium plate, the first layer medium plate is fixedly connected with the second layer medium plate through the laminated plate, the first layer medium plate is in communication with the second layer medium plate through a metal column, and the metal column passes through the laminated plate; the first layer medium plate is provided with a receiving element, a reflection delay element and a first radio frequency switch element, the receiving element receives electromagnetic waves and transmits a part of the electromagnetic waves to the reflection delay element through the first radio frequency switch element, the reflection delay element processes a part of the electromagnetic waves to obtain cross-polarized reflection waves, and another part of the electromagnetic waves flows to the second layer medium plate through the metal column; the second layer medium plate includes a transmission element, the transmission element receives the electromagnetic waves flowing to the second layer medium plate and processes to obtain cross-polarized transmission waves; the first radio frequency switch element is used for opening and closing the receiving element and the reflection delay element to change the phase of the reflection wave, and the transmission element includes a second radio frequency switch element, the second radio frequency switch element changes the current direction on the transmission element to change the phase of the transmission wave, and the transmission wave and the reflection wave are radiated at the same time and the radiation direction is independently controlled. By configuring the phase of the transmission wave and the phase of the reflection wave of each unit in the array, bidirectional beam scanning and independent regulation of the beam in each direction can be realized, a wider coverage range can be achieved, and the application potential is strong.
[0051] In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides an array with bidirectional beam scanning function, characterized in that, comprising the phased array unit as described above, the array is composed of multiple phased array units, and the array realizes independent two-dimensional bidirectional beam scanning.
[0052] With reference to Figure 10 In a specific embodiment, the phased array unit forms the rotation of the reflected wave polarization through a delay line, and then forms a 180° phase difference of the reflected wave through current reversal, and similarly, the transmission element (112) of the second layer medium plate forms a 180° phase difference of the transmitted wave through current reversal, thereby forming 1-bit phase quantization of independent control of reflection and transmission. The phased array unit is composed of an array, and a kind of array with bidirectional beam scanning function is completed, and independent two-dimensional beam ±60° scanning is realized in two directions;Specifically, the phased array unit with bidirectional independent 180° phase difference control is composed of an array, and the first radio frequency switch element and the second radio frequency switch element of the phased array unit in the array are controlled to be on or off by applying positive and negative voltage, thereby forming 1-bit phase control at the unit level. According to the phased array principle, the phase is configured, so that the array with bidirectional beam scanning function can form independent two-dimensional scanning beams in two directions independently, thereby improving the coverage capability of the array.
