TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an antenna unit, in particular to a filtering dual-polarized phased array antenna unit. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of new generation wireless communication technology, phased array antennas are widely used in radar, satellite communication and 5th generation (5G) millimeter wave mobile communication due to their flexible beamforming, high integration and fast beam agility. On the one hand, with the substantial increase in the density of antenna arrays, the problem of near coupling needs to be solved. When two phased array antennas of adjacent frequency bands work at a very small distance, the radiation electric field of one phased array antenna is necessarily strongly affected by the radiation electric field of the other phased array antenna. In the traditional communication system design, filters are used as the active link of the antenna and the phased array antenna in cascade due to their good out-of-band rejection capability. However, the size and performance pressure of the entire communication system will increase dramatically. An effective solution is to integrate the filtering function into the phased array antenna to improve the integration of the active link and the phased array antenna. On the other hand, in the field of satellite communication, the phased array antenna with filtering characteristics can help reduce out-of-band interference signals from other sources, such as other on-orbit satellites, ground transmitters, and even atmospheric noise, especially for Ku-band satellites with high distribution density and considerable resources in low earth orbit. Therefore, introducing the filtering function into the phased array antenna has considerable application scenarios and research significance.
[0003] A filtering phased array antenna is formed by a plurality of filtering phased array antenna units arranged in an array. At present, in the research of filtering antenna units, the traditional filtering antenna unit is usually affected by its large size and is not suitable for being used as a filtering phased array antenna unit (which requires the distance between filtering phased array antenna units to be less than 0.5 wavelength). Some researchers have designed a filtering phased array antenna unit whose size is reduced by half in one dimension by using the mirror theory, which realizes a one-dimensional scanning filtering phased array antenna. However, this design scheme can only produce single-polarized radiation and cannot meet the demand of wireless communication systems with orthogonal linear polarization. SUMMARY

[0033] The filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit of the present application is a multi-layer structure, has a small size, and can meet the requirements of phased array assembly. Figure 8As shown, when the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit adopting the application is used to form a filter dual-polarized phased array antenna, the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit is one-dimensional or two-dimensional translation with a period of 0.5λ (the free space wavelength at the center frequency of the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit) to form an array structure, and the phase control of each filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit can realize high-gain beam pointing control, thereby meeting the application of the new generation of wireless communication systems. At the same time, the fifth metallized via hole 57 group arranged around the feed layer 3 of the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit can increase the isolation between the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna units, so as to reduce the mutual influence between the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna units when forming the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna.
[0034] To verify the performance of the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit of the application, the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit of the application is simulated, wherein the S parameter simulation diagram of the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit of the application is shown in FIG. 9(a), and the gain curve simulation diagram of the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit of the application is shown in FIG. 9(b).
[0035] When two signals of different polarizations are introduced into the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit of the application by a coaxial feeding mode, one coaxial probe for introducing a vertical polarization signal is inserted into the first feed via hole 19 to form a unit port 1, and another coaxial probe for introducing a horizontal polarization signal is inserted into the second feed via hole to form a unit port 2.
[0036] In FIG. 9(a), |S 11 | is the reflection coefficient of the unit port 1 corresponding to the vertical polarization (V-pol), |S 22 | is the reflection coefficient of the unit port 2 corresponding to the horizontal polarization (H-pol), |S 21 | is the isolation of the unit port 1 and the unit port 2. As can be seen from FIG. 9(a), |S 11 | The working frequency band with |S 22 | less than -10 dB is 12.3 GHz to 15.5 GHz. The overlapping relative bandwidth of the unit port 1 and the unit port 2 is 23%. The isolation of the unit port 1 and the unit port 2 is less than -16 dB in the working frequency band, which indicates that the unit port 1 and the unit port 2 have good isolation.
[0037] In Fig. 9(b), V-pol corresponds to the gain curve of the vertical polarization signal, and H-pol corresponds to the gain curve of the horizontal polarization signal. As can be seen from Fig. 9(b), in the passband of the two polarization signals, the maximum gain of the simulation is between 0.1dBi and 4.4dBi. At the same time, multiple radiation zeros are generated at the upper and lower edges of the passband of the two polarization signals, and at 7.8GHz and 20GHz, the radiation gain of the two polarization signals is reduced by more than 20.7dB, showing high selectivity.
[0038] Therefore, the filter dual-polarized phased array antenna unit of the present application has wideband filtering and good out-of-band suppression characteristics while radiating dual polarization.
