[0053] The following is an introduction to the roles and functions of the above components:
[0054] The first dielectric plate 101, the second dielectric plate 102, and the third dielectric plate 103 are substrates for printed circuits, which are used to support the entire circuit; the input port 2 is used to input energy; the through hole 3 constitutes a substrate integrated waveguide structure, which can reduce losses; the radiation patch 4 is used to radiate circularly polarized waves; the parasitic patch 5 is used to improve the circular polarization performance; the coaxial cable 6 is used to connect the radiation patch 4 and the power divider 7; the power divider 7 is used to feed the radiation patch 4; the first metal ground plane 801 and the second metal ground plane 802 constitute the reflection surface of the antenna.
[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the radiation patch 4 includes a radiation patch body; the radiation patch body is formed by respectively setting a first cut angle and a second cut angle at two opposite corners of a rectangular patch, and a first groove is provided in the middle of the radiation patch body; one end of the radiation patch body provided with the second cut angle extends outward along the longitudinal direction of the radiation patch body to form a first microstrip line, and the parts on both sides of the first microstrip line connected to the radiation patch body are respectively provided with second grooves along the longitudinal direction of the radiation patch. Specifically, in this embodiment, the longitudinal side length lx1 of the rectangular patch is 2.69mm; the first cut angle size ds1 is 1.06mm; the second cut angle size ds2 is 0.49mm; the length ax and width ay of the microstrip line are 0.51mm and 1.09mm respectively; the first groove is a square, and its side length bx is 1.01mm; the second groove is a rectangle, and its length cx and width cy are 0.36mm and 0.16mm respectively.
[0056] Based on the above, the electric field distribution of the radiation patch 4 at 28 GHz is as follows Figure 3 As shown by Figure 3 It can be seen that the radiation patch 4 of this embodiment is mainly distributed with electric field vectors oriented toward the upper left and upper right directions, which are 90° apart, so that it radiates circularly polarized waves.
[0057] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the parasitic patch 5 is formed by respectively setting third cut corners at two opposite corners of the square patch; wherein the side length lx2 of the square patch is 2.12 mm; and the size dss of the third cut corner is 0.5 mm.
[0058] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, the power divider 7 serves as the feeding network of the array antenna, which includes an intermediate impedance converter, which is connected to the input port 2 through a second microstrip line; the intermediate impedance converter is connected to the two side impedance converters through a third microstrip line respectively, and the two side impedance converters are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the intermediate impedance converter, and each side impedance converter is connected to a feed point branch through a fourth microstrip line respectively, and the two feed point branches are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the intermediate impedance converter, and each feed point branch includes two feed points. Specifically, in this embodiment, the spacing d between two opposite feed points in the two feed point branches is 5.4mm; the width w of the second microstrip line is 0.78mm; the length bl and width bw of the third microstrip line are 1.45mm and 0.95mm respectively; the length al of the fourth microstrip line is 0.7mm; the length cl and width cw of the side impedance converter are 2mm and 1.4mm respectively; the length dl and width dw of the intermediate impedance converter are 1.8mm and 1.5mm respectively; the side length el of the metal surface at the feed point is 0.9mm.
[0059] Based on the above structure, the Ka-band circularly polarized array antenna of this embodiment combines the microstrip antenna structure with the substrate integrated waveguide structure, and emits left-handed circularly polarized radiation waves in the Ka-band. Its Ka-band impedance matching relative bandwidth, 3dB axial ratio relative bandwidth and 6dB axial ratio relative bandwidth are 8.40%, 6.31% and 14.55% respectively, and the maximum gain at 28GHz is 11.1dB. It has a wide working bandwidth, excellent circular polarization performance and high gain.
[0060] Specifically, the working principle of the Ka-band circularly polarized array antenna of this embodiment is:
[0061] The current excitation is input from the input port 2 to the power divider 7, and then the excitation is transmitted to the four radiating patches 4 in equal phases via the coaxial cable 6. The electric field vector on the radiating patch 4 changes due to geometric perturbations such as cutting angles and digging grooves, forming two electric field vectors with a 90° difference in direction, so that the radiating patch 4 radiates circularly polarized radiation. The circularly polarized bandwidth of the radiated circularly polarized wave is further widened due to the reflection of the substrate integrated waveguide structure and the parasitic patch 5. At the same time, the 2×2 array composed of the four radiating patches 4 greatly improves the gain of the antenna.
[0062] The circularly polarized array antenna of this embodiment has been subjected to multiple simulation experiments, and the experimental results are briefly described below:
[0063] Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the return loss after simulation of the power divider in the circularly polarized array antenna of this embodiment is shown. Figure 6It can be seen that the center frequency of the power divider is around 28 GHz, the -10 dB return loss frequency range is 26.83-28.56 GHz, and the relative bandwidth is 6.25%, which meets the requirements of the Ka-band 2×2 array antenna for the feeding network.
[0064] Figure 7 The schematic diagram of return loss after simulation of the circularly polarized array antenna of this embodiment is shown. Figure 7 It can be seen that the impedance matching center frequency of the array antenna is around 28 GHz, the -10 dB return loss frequency range is 27.03-29.40 GHz, the relative bandwidth is 8.40%, and the impedance matching performance is good.
[0065] Figure 8 The figure shows the axial ratio diagram of the circularly polarized array antenna after simulation in this embodiment. Figure 8 It can be seen that the circular polarization center frequency of the array antenna is around 28 GHz, the 3dB and 6dB axial ratio frequency ranges are 27.15-28.92 GHz and 26.58-30.75 GHz respectively, the relative bandwidth reaches 6.31% and 14.55%, and the circular polarization bandwidth is wide, indicating that its circular polarization performance is excellent.
[0066] Fig. 9 The total gain and the directional pattern of the left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized wave gain at 28 GHz after simulation of the circularly polarized array antenna of this embodiment are shown. Fig. 9 It can be seen that the maximum gain of the array antenna in the maximum radiation direction Theta = 0° is 11.1dB, which is a relatively high gain. At the same time, from the similarity between the total gain image of the array antenna and the left-handed circularly polarized wave gain image, it can be seen that the circularly polarized wave radiated by the array antenna is a left-handed circularly polarized wave.
[0067] Figures 10 to 12 A schematic diagram showing the comparison of the simulated performance of the circularly polarized array antenna of this embodiment with a 2×2 array antenna using a non-SIW structure and a traditional rectangular cut-corner radiating patch is shown. Fig.10 is a schematic diagram comparing the return loss of the two antennas. Fig.10 It can be seen that their -10dB return loss bandwidth is similar and their impedance matching performance is relatively good. Fig.11 is a schematic diagram for comparing the axial ratios of the two antennas. Fig.11 It can be seen that, compared with the array antenna without SIW structure, the 3dB axial ratio bandwidth of the array antenna of this embodiment in the Ka band is nearly doubled, and the circular polarization performance of the array antenna of this embodiment is better. Fig.12 This is a schematic diagram comparing the total gain of the two antennas at 28 GHz. Fig.12 It can be seen that the maximum gain of the array antenna of the present invention is higher than that of the array antenna without the SIW structure, and the power directional radiation capability of the array antenna of the present invention is stronger.
