Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wireless communications and relates to a dual-band broadband Vivaldi differential feeding filter antenna. Background Art
[0002] As wireless communication technology is changing with each passing day, antennas are the core components of wireless communication systems, and their performance is directly related to the overall quality and transmission efficiency of the communication system. With the continuous advancement of wireless communication technology, various communication protocols and standards have sprung up, including but not limited to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G and the latest 5G technology, each of which is allocated to operate in a specific frequency band to meet the needs of different application scenarios. This diversified communication standard landscape poses unprecedented challenges to antenna design.
[0003] Traditionally, in order to adapt to these complex and changing communication frequency bands, wireless communication devices often need to integrate multiple antenna systems, each of which is optimized for a specific frequency band. However, this approach not only significantly increases the physical footprint of the device, but also brings problems of coupling and mutual interference between antennas. The coupling effect between antennas will lead to loss of signal energy and degradation of signal quality, while interference may cause communication errors and reduce the stability and reliability of the system.
[0004] Although some progress has been made in the field of antenna technology, research on differentially fed filter antennas that can effectively cover dual-band or even multi-band and have broadband characteristics is still relatively scarce. Differential feeding technology has attracted much attention because it can effectively suppress common-mode noise and improve signal integrity, but its application in realizing broadband dual-band filter antennas is still immature. Most existing research focuses on the design of single-band or narrow-band dual-band antennas, which is difficult to meet the comprehensive requirements of modern wireless communication systems for high spectrum utilization, low interference and high stability.
[0005] Therefore, developing a differentially fed filter antenna that can adapt to multiple communication protocols and standards, effectively reduce antenna coupling and interference in a limited space, and achieve dual-band broadband characteristics has become a technical problem that needs to be solved in the current wireless communication field. Such an antenna design will greatly promote the development of wireless communication technology and improve the overall performance of the communication system and user experience.

[0042] Specifically, the antenna includes a Vivaldi metal radiating surface 1 on the upper surface, a metal microstrip feed line 7 on the lower surface, a dielectric substrate 0 and an SMA coaxial feeder 10. The Vivaldi metal radiating surface 1 on the upper surface is mainly formed by digging a first rectangular groove 3, a double exponential curve gradient groove 6 and a pair of circular grooves 2 from the upper surface. The double exponential curve gradient groove 6 divides the metal radiating surface 1 into two radiating arms.

The metal microstrip feed line 7 on the lower surface is composed of a pair of rectangular microstrip feed lines and a fan-shaped microstrip feed line. The rectangular microstrip feed line is used to The exposed inner core wire at the upper end of the SMA coaxial feeder 10 is short-circuited; the SMA coaxial feeder 10 is powered by a 50Ω coaxial cable and excited in an equal amplitude but opposite phase manner to achieve the required differential feeding. The SMA coaxial feeder 10 comprises an inner core wire, an insulating layer, an outer conductor and a sheath; the other end of the rectangular microstrip feeder is connected to a fan-shaped metal microstrip line, the lower surface microstrip feeder 7 and the upper surface first rectangular slot 3 form a cross-coupling structure, and a short-circuit branch 8 is provided on the outer side of the lower surface microstrip feeder 7, and the end of the short-circuit branch 8 is a metal ring; the metallized through hole 9 penetrates the dielectric substrate 0 at the metal ring at the end of the short-circuit branch 8 and is connected to the metal radiation surface 1 on the upper surface; the dielectric substrate 0 is a single-layer structure;
[0043] In this embodiment, the thickness of the upper surface Vivaldi metal radiation surface 1, the lower surface microstrip feed line 7, and the short-circuit branch 8 are all 0.018 mm.
[0044] In this embodiment, the length L of the Vivaldi metal radiation surface 1 on the upper surface is 234.6 mm, the width W is 207 mm, the distance L1 between the longest grooves on the inner side of the two radiation arms and the center of the circular groove is 48.6 mm, and the distance L2 between the circular groove 2 and the edge of the Vivaldi radiation surface 1 is 18.5 mm; the distance W1 between the centers of the two circular grooves 2 is 73 mm, the radius R1 of the circular groove 2 is 4.6 mm, and the width W8 of the first rectangular groove 3 connecting the circular grooves 2 is 3.2 mm; the distance L4 of the shortest groove on the inner side of the radiation arm from the center line loading is 17.5 mm, the distance L5 of the second longest groove from the center line loading is 18 mm, and the distance L6 of the longest groove from the center line loading is 27.6 mm; the width W6 of the longest groove is 0.21 mm, the width W4 of the other grooves is 0.5 mm, and the loading interval W5 of these grooves is 0.7 mm.
[0045] In this embodiment, in the metal microstrip feed line 7 on the lower surface, the spacing W2 between the rectangular microstrip feed lines is 48.3 mm, the length L3 of the rectangular microstrip feed line is 19.7 mm, and the width W8 of the rectangular microstrip feed line is 3.2 mm; the radius R2 of the fan-shaped microstrip feed line is 32.2 mm, and the angle α of the fan-shaped microstrip feed line is 71°; the length L7 of the short-circuit branch 8 on the side of the rectangular microstrip feed line is 13.4 mm, the width W9 of the short-circuit branch 8 is 0.2 mm, the outer radius R4 of the metal ring at the end of the short-circuit branch is 0.39 mm, and the radius R3 of the metallized through hole 9 is 0.2 mm.
[0046] In this embodiment, the thickness H of the dielectric substrate 0 is 1.524 mm; its relative dielectric constant ε r It is 3.66, and the loss tangent is about 0.004mm.
[0047] In a specific implementation, the metal radiation surface of the traditional Vivaldi antenna is modified. The modified upper surface Vivaldi metal radiation surface is mainly formed by digging out the first rectangular groove 3, the double exponential curve gradient groove 6 and a pair of circular grooves 2 on the upper surface. The microstrip feed line 7 on the lower surface is also changed from one to two, respectively connected to two SMA coaxial feeders 10 with equal amplitude and opposite phase differential signals. The microstrip feed line 7 and the first rectangular groove 3 on the upper surface form a cross-coupling structure. The part of the microstrip feed line 7 that exceeds the first rectangular groove 3 on the upper surface can generate half-wavelength and full-wavelength resonances, generating two radiation zero points, so that the working frequency band of the antenna is changed from one to two. The double exponential curve gradient slot 6 divides the radiation surface into two radiation arms. The inner sides of the two radiation arms are loaded with a single rectangular slot and six rectangular slots placed at the same interval. The function of the single rectangular slot is to strengthen the suppression effect between the two passbands and expand the low-frequency bandwidth. The function of the six rectangular slots loaded at the same interval is to strengthen the filtering performance outside the high-frequency band. The microstrip feed line on the lower surface is composed of a rectangular microstrip feed line and a fan-shaped microstrip feed line. A pair of short-circuited half branches are introduced on the side of the microstrip line. The ends of the short-circuited branches are connected to the radiation surface of the upper surface through metalized through holes penetrating the substrate. The function of the short-circuited branches is to strengthen the filtering performance outside the high-frequency band and eliminate the reflection coefficient |S dd11 |Deterioration outside the high frequency band. The antenna configuration is completely symmetrical with respect to the X-axis, which is intended to achieve a high common-mode rejection level.
[0048] The dielectric substrate 0 is made of RO4350 sheet with a thickness of 1.524 mm and a dielectric constant of ε r =3.66, loss tangent δ=0.004.
[0049] Reference Figure 4It can be seen that under differential signal excitation, the antenna has a -10dB impedance bandwidth with a low-frequency passband of 1.15-2.48GHz and a high-frequency passband of 3.48-4.92GHz. The gain curve can show that it has good frequency selection characteristics and out-of-band suppression capabilities, and the peak value in the passband can achieve a gain of 10.0dBi.
[0050] Reference Figure 5-6 , it can be seen that the antenna has good and stable radiation performance. Low cross-polarization levels are shown in both frequency bands, and the cross-polarization levels reach -26dB and -35dB at low and high frequencies respectively. It can also be seen that the antenna is an end-fire antenna with a front-to-back ratio of 18dB and 19dB at low and high frequencies respectively. It should be mentioned that most of the reported end-fire filtering antennas are single-frequency, and it is difficult to achieve high bandwidth in the research of dual-frequency end-fire filtering antennas. It can be seen from the above results that the antenna of the present invention has good filtering response and excellent bandwidth in two frequency bands. In addition, due to the use of the Vivaldi antenna, it also has a peak gain of up to 10.0dBi and a low cross-polarization level.
[0051] The dual-band broadband antenna not only adds a working frequency band to the previous working frequency band, but also guarantees the bandwidth within the working frequency band, so that the antenna can achieve good matching and efficient radiation within a wider frequency band, and can support multiple communication protocols or standards at the same time, greatly improving the flexibility, compatibility and communication quality of communication. Vivaldi antenna plays an important role in broadband wireless communication systems. It has the characteristics of wide bandwidth, symmetrical radiation pattern, and low cross-polarization. On the one hand, differential feeding technology is a feeding method that feeds two signals with opposite phases into the two ports of the antenna respectively. Compared with traditional single-ended feeding, differential feeding can significantly suppress common-mode noise and interference, improve the anti-interference ability and signal-to-noise ratio of the antenna, and is easier to integrate with commonly used differential circuits and systems. On the other hand, by introducing filtering functions in the antenna design, signal filtering processing can be achieved without adding additional filter components. This design not only helps to reduce the complexity and cost of the system, but also improves the anti-interference ability and stability of the system. In the dual-band antenna, the two frequency bands are designed separately to achieve a more accurate filtering effect, thereby further optimizing the signal quality.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
