[0002] In today's rapidly evolving wireless communication technology, the performance of antennas, as the core components of wireless communication systems, directly affects the overall quality and transmission efficiency of communication systems. With the continuous progress of wireless communication technology, various communication protocols and standards have emerged, including but not limited to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, and the latest 5G technology. They are each allocated in a specific frequency band to meet the needs of different application scenarios. This diversified communication standard pattern poses unprecedented challenges to antenna design.
[0003] Traditionally, to adapt to these complex and variable communication frequency bands, wireless communication devices often need to integrate multiple antenna systems, each optimized for a specific frequency band. However, this approach not only significantly increases the physical space occupied by the device, but also brings problems of antenna coupling and mutual interference. The coupling effect between antennas can cause loss of signal energy and degradation of signal quality, while interference can cause communication errors, reducing system stability and reliability.
[0004] Although certain progress has been made in the field of antenna technology, research on differential feed filtering antennas that can effectively cover dual or even multiple frequencies and have wideband characteristics is still relatively scarce.

[0043] In the embodiment, the thicknesses of the upper surface Vivaldi metal radiation surface 1, the lower surface microstrip feed line 7 and the short-circuit stub 8 are all 0.018 mm.
[0044] In the embodiment, the length L of the upper surface Vivaldi metal radiation surface 1 is 234.6 mm, the width W is 207 mm, the longest groove inside the two radiation arms is 48.6 mm away from the center of the circular groove, 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, 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 inside the radiation arm from the center line is 17.5 mm, the distance L5 of the second longest groove from the center line is 18 mm, and the distance L6 of the longest groove from the center line 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 groove loading interval W5 is 0.7 mm.
[0045] In this embodiment, the spacing W2 between the rectangular microstrip feed lines in the lower surface metal microstrip feed line 7 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 included angle a of the fan-shaped microstrip feed line is 71°; the length L7 of the short-circuit stub 8 on the side of the rectangular microstrip feed line is 13.4 mm, the width W9 of the short-circuit stub 8 is 0.2 mm, the outer radius R4 of the metal ring at the end of the short-circuit stub is 0.39 mm, and the radius R3 of the metalized via 9 is 0.2 mm.
[0046] In this embodiment, the thickness H of the dielectric substrate 0 is 1.524 mm; the relative dielectric constant e r of the dielectric substrate 0 is 3.66, and the loss tangent is about 0.004 mm.
[0047] In a specific implementation, the metal radiation surface of a conventional Vivaldi antenna is modified. The modified upper surface Vivaldi metal radiation surface is mainly formed by the upper surface first rectangular groove 3, the double exponential curve gradual groove 6, and a pair of circular grooves 2. The lower surface microstrip feed line 7 also corresponds to a change from one to two, respectively connecting two SMA coaxial feeders 10 with equal amplitude and opposite differential signals. The microstrip feed line 7 and the upper surface first rectangular groove 3 form a cross-coupled structure. The part of the microstrip feed line 7 beyond the upper surface first rectangular groove 3 can produce half-wave and full-wave resonances, resulting in two radiation zeros, which makes the antenna change from one to two in the working frequency band. The double exponential curve gradual groove 6 divides the radiation surface into two radiation arms. The inner sides of the two radiation arms are loaded with a separately placed rectangular groove and six rectangular grooves with the same spacing. The separately placed rectangular groove serves to strengthen the suppression effect between the two passbands and expand the low-frequency band bandwidth. The six rectangular grooves with the same spacing serve to strengthen the filtering performance outside the high-frequency band. The lower surface microstrip feed line is composed of a rectangular microstrip feed line and a fan-shaped microstrip feed line. A pair of short-circuit half-stubs is introduced on the side of the microstrip line. The short-circuit stubs are connected to the upper surface radiation surface through the metalized via penetrating the substrate. The short-circuit stubs serve to strengthen the filtering performance outside the high-frequency band and eliminate the deterioration of the reflection coefficient |S dd11 | outside the high-frequency band. The configuration of the antenna is completely symmetrical with respect to the X axis. The purpose of this initiative is to enable the antenna to achieve a high common-mode suppression level.
[0048] The dielectric substrate 0 is a RO4350 plate with a thickness of 1.524 mm, a dielectric constant e r = 3.66, and a loss tangent δ= 0.004.
[0049] For reference Figure 4It can be seen that the antenna has a -10dB impedance bandwidth of 1.15-2.48 GHz in the low frequency passband and 3.48-4.92 GHz in the high frequency passband under the excitation of the differential signal, and the gain curve shows that the antenna has good frequency selection characteristics and out-of-band suppression capability, and the peak gain in the passband can reach 10.0dBi.
[0050] Referring to Figures 5-6 It can be seen that the antenna has good and stable radiation performance. It shows low cross-polarization levels in both frequency bands, reaching -26dB and -35dB in the low frequency and high frequency, respectively. It can also be seen that the antenna is an end-fire antenna with front-to-back ratios of 18dB and 19dB in the low frequency and high frequency, respectively. It should be noted that most reported end-fire filter antennas are single-frequency, and it is difficult to achieve high bandwidth in the study of dual-frequency end-fire filter antennas. As can be seen from the above results, the antenna of the present application has good filtering response and excellent bandwidth in two frequency bands. In addition, since the Vivaldi antenna is used, it also has a peak gain of up to 10.0dBi and a low cross-polarization level.
[0051] The dual-band wideband antenna increases one working frequency band on the basis of the previous working frequency band, while ensuring the bandwidth in the working frequency band, so that the antenna can achieve good matching and efficient radiation in a wide frequency band, and can support multiple communication protocols or standards at the same time, greatly improving the flexibility, compatibility and communication quality of communication. The Vivaldi antenna plays an important role in wideband wireless communication systems. It has the characteristics of wide frequency band, symmetrical radiation pattern, low cross-polarization, etc. On the one hand, differential feeding technology is a feeding method that feeds two signals with opposite phases into two ports of the antenna. 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 also easier to integrate with common differential circuits and systems. On the other hand, by introducing filtering function in the antenna design, signal filtering can be realized 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, two frequency bands are designed respectively to achieve more accurate filtering effect, thereby further optimizing the signal quality.
[0052] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and not to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
