Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of antennas, in particular to an ultra-wideband dual-polarized transmissive array antenna based on interdigital capacitive coupling. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the in-depth development of wireless communication technology, the requirements for antennas are becoming higher and higher. In order to cope with the problems such as long communication distance and relatively complex space environment, high-gain antennas with good directivity are urgently needed. According to Shannon's theorem of wireless data transmission, the channel capacity of a communication system is proportional to the system bandwidth, and in order to improve the information data transmission rate, the bandwidth of the communication system needs to be continuously improved, which means that the antenna of the communication system needs to have wideband performance. Since the dual-polarized antenna can radiate or receive multiple pairs of electromagnetic waves with a specific polarization direction, it can realize full-duplex operation and space division multiplexing function, and the orthogonal polarization mode can receive all the polarization information of the electromagnetic wave and improve the anti-interference ability, enhance the communication quality, and the antenna also needs to have the characteristics of dual polarization. Therefore, high-gain, wideband, dual-polarized antennas have become the trend of modern antenna design.
[0003] Compared with other high-gain antennas, the transmissive array antenna has the advantages of low profile, light weight, easy manufacturing, no complex feed network, no feed source shielding, low cost, etc. However, the narrow frequency band is a problem that needs to be solved for the transmissive array antenna, and the existing method for increasing the bandwidth of the transmissive array mainly relies on the wideband properties of the transmissive unit, which is limited in improving the bandwidth of the transmissive array antenna.
[0004] Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of advanced wireless communication systems, it is necessary to conduct further research on ultra-wideband dual-polarized transmissive array antennas to solve the problems of narrow bandwidth and single polarization of transmissive array antennas.

[0057] The present invention discloses an ultra-wideband dual-polarized transmission array antenna based on interdigital capacitive coupling, comprising a transmission array and a feed antenna. The transmission array is a planar array composed of a plurality of quasi-periodically distributed transmission units. The transmission units include receiving units, transmitting units, and parallel plane transmission lines. Both the receiving units and the transmitting units are constructed from orthogonally placed short planar dipoles coupled via interdigital capacitive coupling, a dielectric substrate, and a metal ground plane. The parallel plane transmission line is constructed from two parallel planar metal conductors with a dielectric substrate in between. The function of the parallel plane transmission line is to shift the phase by controlling the length of the planar metal double conductors. Because the equivalent wave path of the planar metal double conductors remains unchanged at different frequencies, the transmission array exhibits ultra-wideband characteristics. The feed antenna is an ultra-wideband dual-polarized antenna that covers the transmission array's operating frequency band and is placed at the transmission array's focal point. The ultra-wideband dual-polarized transmission array antenna based on interdigital capacitive coupling proposed in the present invention has a low relative cross-section, a wide operating frequency band, high reliability, and the ability to withstand a certain degree of high power, making it suitable for use in relatively complex operating environments.
[0058] The technical principles of the present invention are as follows:
[0059] The ultra-wideband dual-polarized transmission array antenna, based on interdigital capacitive coupling, consists primarily of a transmission array and a feed antenna. The feed antenna, located at the focal point, radiates electromagnetic waves toward the transmission array. By controlling the relative equivalent path lengths of each element in the transmission array, the incident electromagnetic wave is compensated and corrected into a quasi-plane wave, thereby achieving a directional, high-gain electromagnetic beam. Because the relative equivalent path lengths of each element in the transmission array do not vary with frequency within the operating frequency band, the antenna exhibits broadband performance.
[0060] The structure diagram and reference coordinate system of the transmission array antenna are as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0061] In order to realize the directional electromagnetic wave beam, the required transmission phase of each transmission unit of the transmission array is calculated by formula (1):
[0062]
[0063] Where: Φ iis the transmission phase required by the i-th transmission unit of the transmission array, k0 is the wave number of free space, R i is the distance from the feed antenna to the i-th transmission unit of the transmission array, is the electromagnetic radiation beam direction, (x i ,y i ) is the coordinate of the i-th transmission unit in the transmission array, is a phase constant.
[0064] According to the required transmission phase, the equivalent path compensation of each transmission unit of the required transmission array can be calculated, as shown in formula (2):
[0065]
[0066] Where: L i is the required equivalent path compensation of each transmission unit of the transmission array, Φ TA is the set of transmission phases of each transmission unit of the required transmission array.
[0067] The relative equivalent wave path of the transmission unit transmission line can be calculated by formula (3):
[0068]
[0069] in: is the relative equivalent wave path of the nth transmission unit transmission line, is the actual equivalent wave path of the nth transmission unit transmission line, is the actual equivalent wave path of the 0th transmission unit transmission line, and number n is an integer corresponding to the n+1th transmission unit arranged from small to large according to the actual equivalent wave path of the transmission unit transmission line.
[0070] The required equivalent path compensation of each transmission unit of the transmission array is calculated according to formula (2) to determine the relative equivalent path of each transmission unit, and then determine the physical length of the parallel plate transmission line of each unit of the dual-polarization transmission array. In this way, a high-gain ultra-wideband dual-polarization transmission array antenna can be designed.
