TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of antennas, in particular to a microwave and millimeter wave three-frequency co-boresight antenna. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of 5G communication technology, the working frequency of the communication system is moving towards a higher millimeter wave frequency band. However, the vigorous development of millimeter wave technology does not mean the complete withdrawal of the microwave frequency band. On the contrary, because the microwave and millimeter wave frequency bands have their own advantages and disadvantages in communication methods, quality and purposes, the current mainstream research and development trend is to support two frequency bands of radio frequency signals in the same system, that is, the so-called microwave / millimeter wave coexistence. As an important component of the communication system, the antenna system often needs to have the ability of microwave / millimeter wave dual-band communication.
[0003] In order to efficiently realize microwave / millimeter wave dual-band, a co-boresight antenna is a commonly used technical solution at present. This solution combines two different types of antennas in a partial or complete structural reuse manner, thereby forming a composite antenna system. This solution can effectively reduce the size of the antenna system while ensuring the working performance of the antenna in the two frequency bands. In documents [1]-[4], patch / slab-integrated waveguide array, magnetic-electric dipole / loudspeaker, dipole / slab-integrated waveguide array, and planar inverted F antenna / dielectric resonator antenna structure reuse co-boresight antenna designs are respectively disclosed.
[0004] Although many microwave / millimeter wave co-boresight antenna designs have been proposed at present, most of them only work in two frequency bands, i.e., one microwave frequency band and one millimeter wave frequency band. However, there are many 5G millimeter wave frequency bands that have been divided, such as 26GHz, 39GHz, 43GHz, 52GHz, 77GHz, etc. If the dual-band or multi-band of the millimeter wave frequency band can be further realized on the basis of microwave / millimeter wave coexistence, the functionality and flexibility of the system can be greatly improved. However, there is relatively little research on this aspect at present. On the other hand, because the electromagnetic waves in the millimeter wave frequency band have high propagation loss in the atmosphere, the antennas in this frequency band often need to form an antenna array to compensate for the propagation loss through high gain. In the reported documents, although many designs use an array scheme in the millimeter wave frequency band, the large feeding network of the antenna array also has the problems of high feeding loss, complexity, and high design difficulty.

[0047] The top view of the first dielectric plate 21 and the first metal layer 31 provided on the surface thereof is shown in Fig. 1. Figure 3 As shown, the center of the first metal layer 31 is provided with a rectangular patch 32, the periphery of the rectangular patch 32 is provided with an annular patch 33, the rectangular patch 32 and the annular patch 33 are not connected, and are separated by an annular gap 34.

In some embodiments of the present application, the periods of the first slits 35 and the second slits 36 are both 6 mm, and they are arranged alternately.
[0048] The second dielectric plate 22, the third dielectric plate 23 and the first dielectric plate 21 are completely the same, and each is provided with a metal layer correspondingly. The metal layer on the surface of the second dielectric plate 22 and the third dielectric plate 23 is also completely the same as the first metal layer 31 on the surface of the first dielectric plate 21.
[0049] The top view of the fourth dielectric plate 24 and the second metal layer 41 provided on the surface thereof is shown in Fig. 4.

Figure 5As shown, two second ordinary through holes 52 are provided in the fifth dielectric plate 25 for the inner core of the coaxial line to pass through, and the third metal layer 51 is provided with periodically arranged "I"-shaped gaps 53. In some embodiments of the present invention, the period of the "I"-shaped gaps 53 is 6 mm.
[0051] The top view of the sixth dielectric plate 26 and the fourth metal layer provided on the surface thereof is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the sixth dielectric plate 26 is provided with two feed antennas: a first feed antenna 61 and a second feed antenna 62. The first feed antenna 61 comprises a first microstrip line 63, a second microstrip line 64, and a first radiating patch 65, which are connected in sequence. The second feed antenna 62 comprises a third microstrip line 66, a fourth microstrip line 67, and a second radiating patch 68, which are connected in sequence. The lower surface of the sixth dielectric plate 26 is entirely metal, namely the fourth metal layer, which serves as the metal floor of the patch antenna.
[0052] The first to fifth dielectric plates 21 to 25 are fixed by the supporting structure 11, and the fifth dielectric plate 25 and the sixth dielectric plate 26 are fixed by the dielectric bracket 12. Beam scanning in the millimeter wave frequency band is achieved by moving the fixed position of the sixth dielectric plate 26 on the dielectric bracket 12 along the x direction.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the dielectric support 12 includes two oppositely arranged dielectric plates and a support column located between the two dielectric plates. The two dielectric plates are defined as an upper dielectric plate and a lower dielectric plate. The fifth dielectric plate 25 is located on the upper surface of the upper dielectric plate, the port 1 is located on the upper dielectric plate, and the sixth dielectric plate 26 is located on the surface of the lower dielectric plate.
[0054] In terms of working principle, the design evolution of antenna structure is as follows Figure 7 As shown, we first start from the initial structure of antenna 1, gradually improve the structure of antenna 2 and antenna 3, and finally propose the antenna design of the present invention, namely antenna 4. All antenna structures in this figure are shown in side view. Antenna 1 is a coaxial differential feed (i.e. port 1 + and port 1 -) is a traditional microstrip patch antenna. Antenna 2 is based on antenna 1, and three layers of identical rectangular patches are added at equal intervals just above the radiating patch. At the same time, an identical annular patch is added around each layer of rectangular patches. These three layers of rectangular patches and the annular patch can be regarded as parasitic structures of the radiating patch in antenna 1. For the multi-layer rectangular patches, since the spacing between each rectangular patch is very small (in some embodiments of the present invention, it is only 0.03λ0, λ0 is the wavelength in free space corresponding to 3.6GHz), after the introduction of the multi-layer rectangular patches, the radiation performance of the antenna is basically similar to that of antenna 1 and is not seriously affected. For the annular patch, the structure is added to each layer in order to increase the size of the transmission array surface and thus achieve high-gain radiation. Since the annular patch is separated from the surrounded rectangular patch by an annular gap and has no electrical connection, the annular patch exists in the form of a parasitic structure. They only affect the impedance matching characteristics of the antenna, and this effect can be adjusted by changing the width of the annular gap. To achieve structural reuse between the millimeter-wave transmission array antenna and the microwave patch antenna of the present invention, Antenna 3 is proposed. In this structure, two types of I-shaped slots are periodically arranged on multiple layers of rectangular and annular patches, forming the transmission array elements. Because the length and width of both slots are significantly smaller than λ0, they can be considered extremely small structures in the microwave band and do not significantly affect microwave performance. To achieve a suitable transmission array focal length, the metal floor of Antenna 3 is replaced with a frequency-selective surface with multiple I-shaped slots. This frequency-selective surface exhibits a passband in the millimeter-wave band and a stopband in the microwave band. Therefore, it allows electromagnetic waves in the millimeter-wave band to pass while reflecting those in the microwave band. Specifically, in the millimeter-wave band, electromagnetic waves are emitted from the feed source below, then pass through the frequency-selective surface and illuminate the array surface composed of the multi-layer patch structure. Finally, they are phase-modulated by the array surface and radiated into the atmosphere. In the microwave frequency band, the frequency selective surface acts as the metal floor of the patch antenna, and its working principle is the same as that of the traditional metal floor.
[0055] In the present invention, the millimeter wave frequency band is a dual-frequency transmission array antenna operating at 26GHz and 39GHz. The transmission array unit structure is as follows Figure 8 As shown, there is a first "I"-shaped gap 35 in the middle, with a length of L1, and second gaps 36 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first gap 35, with a length of L2. By changing the values of the length parameters L1 and L2, the transmission phase can be changed. Figure 9As shown in the figure, when L1 changes from 4.3mm to 5.4mm, the unit transmission phase of the unit working at 26GHz can meet 360° phase coverage, while the unit transmission phase of the unit working at 39GHz has almost no change; when L2 changes from 3.0mm to 3.7mm, the unit transmission phase of the unit working at 39GHz can meet 360° phase coverage, while the unit transmission phase of the unit working at 26GHz has almost no change, which shows that the unit transmission phases of the two frequency bands have good independence. At the same time, the unit transmission losses of the two frequency bands are very small, and most of them are less than 1dB, so they can be used as units of a co-aperture dual-frequency transmission array antenna. Using the Fermat principle, the 26GHz units are arranged into an 11×11 array with a focal ratio of 0.6, and the 39GHz units are arranged into an 11×12 array with a focal ratio of 0.6. A patch antenna is used as the feed source of the transmission array antenna, and its structure is as shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown, the first feed antenna 61 operates at 26 GHz, and the second feed antenna 62 operates at 39 GHz. The first feed antenna 61 is excited from port 2 and includes a first microstrip line 63, a second microstrip line 64, and a first radiating patch 65. The first microstrip line 63 is used to connect to the coaxial cable connector to ensure a 50Ω port impedance. The second microstrip line 64 is used to adjust impedance matching by changing its length and width. The first radiating patch 65 serves as the radiating structure of the first feed antenna 61. The second feed antenna 62 is excited from port 3. In principle, it is the same as the first feed antenna 61, but differs in size due to the different operating frequency. The operating frequency of the second feed antenna 62 is 39 GHz.
[0056] The performance of the frequency selective surface unit formed by the "I" shaped gap 53 on the third metal layer 51 is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it can be seen that the reflection coefficient in the microwave frequency band is close to 0dB, indicating that the electromagnetic waves cannot pass through the metal layer 51. At the same time, the reflection phase is close to 180°, which is the same as the traditional metal floor. The transmission coefficient in the millimeter wave frequency band is close to 0dB, indicating that the electromagnetic waves can pass through the third metal layer 51 very well. Therefore, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the feed source can pass through the third metal layer 51 and then irradiate the transmission array surface.
[0057] In terms of antenna performance, S parameters such as Figure 11 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that in the ranges of 3.57-3.63GHz, 25.1-26.7GHz and 37.0-41.0GHz, the antenna can achieve -10dB impedance matching. At the same time, the isolation between port 2 and port 3 is higher than 27dB, which means that the antenna can operate at 3.6GHz, 26GHz and 39GHz, and the port isolation is good. The directional patterns of 3.6GHz, 26GHz and 39GHz are shown as follows: Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14It can be seen from the figure that the antenna has the characteristics of low sidelobe and low cross-polarization in three frequency bands, and the pattern performance is good. Figure 15 The figure shows the antenna gain in three frequency bands, and it can be seen that the peak gains in three frequency bands are 8.3dBi, 20dBi and 20.2dBi respectively, and combined with the pattern results, it shows that the antenna has good radiation performance, and the gain in each frequency band is stable. Figure 16 and Figure 17 The figures respectively show the beam scanning patterns of 26GHz and 39GHz, and under the condition of 3-dB gain scanning loss, the antenna can realize scanning angle ranges of ±25° and ±13° in two millimeter wave frequency bands respectively, and the scanning performance is good.
[0058] Most of the microwave / millimeter wave co-aperture antennas reported at present are dual-band, while the foregoing embodiments of the present application propose a three-frequency co-aperture antenna, which works in the form of a patch antenna at the microwave frequency band (3.6GHz), and works in the form of a transmissive array antenna at the millimeter wave frequency band (26GHz and 39GHz). Since the transmissive array antenna itself adopts a spatial feeding feeding mode, therefore, the antenna does not need a complex feeding network at the millimeter wave frequency band, and has the advantages of low feeding loss, high gain, etc. In addition, in the present application, the patch and the transmissive array are in a completely multiplexed relationship in structure, therefore, the present application has the advantage of high aperture multiplexing rate.
