Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to a cross dipole antenna. Background Technology

[0002] In modern wireless communication systems, dual-polarized antennas can provide polarization diversity to reduce the side effects of multipath fading and increase channel capacity, and are therefore widely used in base station and other scenarios.

[0003] Research on dual-polarized base station antennas is diverse, and can be broadly categorized into: patch antennas, conventional dipole antennas, magnetoelectric dipole antennas, and crossed dipole antennas. Among these, crossed dipole antennas are widely designed and applied due to their simple structure, high operating bandwidth, and good radiation performance.

[0004] In existing technologies, traditional crossed dipole antennas use a metal ground plane as a reflector. Due to the reflective properties of the metal surface, the antenna height is typically around 0.25λ, where λ is the wavelength of the center operating frequency. Base station antennas mainly operate in two frequency bands: a lower frequency band (0.69-0.96 GHz) and a higher frequency band (1.7-2.7 GHz). Therefore, the normal height of a base station antenna operating in the 690MHz-960MHz range is approximately 90mm.

[0005] However, with the rapid development of mobile communication systems today, this height is often too cumbersome and cannot meet the stringent requirements for low-profile base stations. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cross dipole antenna that can reduce the antenna profile in order to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0008] The metasurface layer is connected to the floor layer, and an accommodating space is formed between the metasurface layer and the floor layer;

[0009] The radiating layer is disposed in the accommodating space, connected to the floor layer, and spaced apart from the metasurface layer; the radiating layer includes: two pairs of crossed dipoles;

[0010] The floor layer is provided with two power feeding structures, which are respectively connected to two pairs of cross dipoles.

[0011] In one embodiment, the radiating layer includes: a dielectric substrate and four radiating patches that are symmetrically distributed about the center of the dielectric substrate at intervals;

[0012] Both the dielectric substrate and the radiating patch are square structures, and one side of the radiating patch is parallel to one side of the dielectric substrate.

[0013] Two radiating patches are disposed adjacent to each other on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, and two other radiating patches are disposed adjacent to each other on the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate; two opposing radiating patches are connected to form a dipole.

[0014] In one embodiment, the radiating patch has a set of diagonally symmetrically provided isosceles right-angled triangular grooves to form a hexagonal structure and to form a cross-shaped structure with all the radiating patches.

[0015] In one embodiment, the ratio of the right-angled side length of the groove, the side length of the radiating patch, and the side length of the dielectric substrate is 1:3:9.

[0016] In one embodiment, the radiating layer further includes four metal pillars as radiating arms;

[0017] The metal pillar is a regular square prism structure, with one corresponding end connected to the dielectric plate and having a gap between it and the radiation patch, and the other corresponding end connected to the floor layer.

[0018] In one embodiment, the height of the metal pillar is 3.5 to 4 times the distance between the radiating layer and the metasurface layer.

[0019] In one embodiment, the radiation layer further includes: a first connector and a second connector respectively corresponding to the two dipoles;

[0020] The first connector includes: a strip-shaped first connecting patch; the first connecting patch is disposed on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, one end of which is directly connected to a radiating patch of the corresponding dipole, and the other end is connected to another radiating patch of the corresponding dipole through a feeding structure.

[0021] The second connector includes: a strip-shaped second connecting patch, a third connecting patch, and a fourth connecting patch; the second connecting patch is disposed on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, one end of which is directly connected to a radiating patch of the corresponding dipole, and the other end is connected to the fourth connecting patch through a connecting tube; the third connecting patch is disposed on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, one end of which is connected to another radiating patch of the corresponding dipole through another feeding structure, and the other end is connected to the fourth connecting patch through a connecting tube; the fourth connecting patch is disposed on the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate, and both ends are connected to the other ends of the second connecting patch and the third connecting patch through connecting tubes, respectively.

[0022] In one embodiment, the second connecting patch, the third connecting patch, and the fourth connecting patch have the same length direction, and the length direction of the second connecting patch is used as the length direction of the second connector;

[0023] The length direction of the second connector intersects the length direction of the first connector at the center of the medium plate.

[0024] In one embodiment, the metasurface layer includes: a substrate and a plurality of square-structured metasurface units;

[0025] Multiple metasurface units are spaced apart on the top surface of the substrate and form a square array.

[0026] In one embodiment, the power supply structure includes an outer conductor and an inner conductor, with a separator between the outer conductor and the inner conductor;

[0027] One end of the outer conductor and one end of the inner conductor are connected to an external power supply terminal. The other end of the outer conductor is connected to a radiating patch disposed on the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate, and the other end of the inner conductor is connected to a radiating patch disposed on the top surface of the dielectric substrate.

[0028] The aforementioned cross-dipole antenna is a dual-linearly polarized cross-dipole antenna based on a metasurface. It overcomes the problem of radiation pattern deterioration after reducing antenna height in existing technologies. It features low profile and high performance, without sacrificing performance to reduce the profile. Instead, it maintains high performance while reducing the profile, resulting in superior antenna performance and ensuring good and stable antenna radiation performance. It is widely applicable to base station communication, base station antennas, broadband antennas, dual-polarized antennas, wireless communication systems, the Internet of Things, vehicle networking, and other fields, especially in scenarios involving low-profile base station communication environments.

[0064] This application provides a cross dipole antenna, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, it includes: a metasurface layer, a radiation layer, and a floor layer.

[0065] The metasurface layer, radiation layer, and floor layer are arranged alternately from top to bottom.

[0066] The metasurface layer is spaced parallel above the floor layer and connected to the floor layer by four non-metallic columns; a accommodating space is formed between the metasurface layer and the floor layer to accommodate the radiation layer.

[0067] Preferably, the metasurface layer includes: a substrate and a plurality of metasurface units; the metasurface units are square structures, and the plurality of metasurface units are spaced apart on the top surface of the substrate to form a square array, so as to reduce the antenna profile while ensuring performance.

[0068] The radiation layer is arranged parallel to each other above the floor layer and parallel to each other below the metasurface layer. That is, the radiation layer is arranged parallel to each other between the metasurface layer and the floor layer and is connected to the floor layer. The radiation layer includes two pairs of crossed dipoles.

[0069] The floor layer has a plate-like structure, and two feeding structures (one feeding structure is the first probe, and the other feeding structure is the second probe) are provided on the floor layer. They are connected to two pairs of crossed dipoles respectively, so as to generate bilinear polarization by using coaxial feeding.

[0070] Preferably, the power supply structure includes: an outer conductor, an inner conductor, and a separator; the outer conductor is sleeved on the outside of the inner conductor, and the separator is located between the outer conductor and the inner conductor; one end of the outer conductor and one end of the inner conductor are flush and both are connected to an external power supply terminal (the external power supply terminal is located below the ground plane, with an impedance of 50 ohms, and is matched with the SMA interface); the other end of the outer conductor is connected to a radiating patch located on the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate, and the other end of the inner conductor is connected to a radiating patch located on the top surface of the dielectric substrate.

[0071] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the metasurface layer, radiating layer, and ground layer reduces the antenna profile, improves the reflection effect, front-to-back ratio, and gain, and also improves the antenna's cross-polarization ratio and isolation, ensuring the effect of frequency matching and preventing leakage.

[0072] In one embodiment, the radiating layer includes a dielectric substrate and four radiating patches as the main radiating structure. Both the dielectric substrate and the radiating patches are square structures, with one side of any radiating patch parallel to one side of the dielectric substrate, and the side length of the square structure being the side length of either the dielectric substrate or the radiating patch. The four radiating patches are spaced apart on the dielectric substrate and are centrally symmetrically distributed about the center of the dielectric substrate. Two radiating patches are adjacent to each other on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, and the other two are adjacent to each other on the bottom surface. Two opposing radiating patches are connected to form a dipole. Two dipoles are interleaved to form a crossed dipole. This configuration further improves the antenna's cross-polarization ratio and isolation.

[0073] Preferably, a set of diagonally symmetrical isosceles right-angled triangular slots are provided on the radiating patches, so that each radiating patch forms a hexagonal structure and all radiating patches form a cross shape to expand the bandwidth of the antenna.

[0074] More preferably, the ratio of the right-angled side length of the slot, the side length of the radiating patch, and the side length of the dielectric substrate is 1:3:9, so as to further expand the bandwidth of the antenna and improve the gain stability.

[0075] More preferably, the radiating patch has a square structure with rounded corners at each corner to further extend the bandwidth of the antenna.

[0076] In one embodiment, the radiating layer further includes four metal pillars as radiating arms of the dipole; that is, the radiating layer includes a dielectric substrate, four radiating patches, and four metal pillars; the metal pillars are regular square prisms, with one corresponding end of each pillar perpendicularly connected to the dielectric substrate and having a gap between it and the radiating patch, and the other corresponding end perpendicularly connected to the ground plane. This configuration, combined with the metasurface layer, further reduces the antenna profile, further improves reflection performance, front-to-back ratio, and gain, and as an extension of the dipole radiating arms, improves the antenna's beamwidth, cross-polarization ratio, and isolation, ensuring the stability of the radiation direction.

[0077] Preferably, the height of the metal pillar is 3.5 to 4 times the distance between the radiating layer and the metasurface layer to increase the beamwidth and further reduce the antenna profile, thereby further improving the reflection effect, front-to-back ratio and gain.

[0078] In one embodiment, the radiating layer further includes a connection structure as a microstrip feed line; that is, the radiating layer includes a dielectric substrate, four radiating patches, four metal pillars, and a connection structure; the connection structure includes a first connector and a second connector, which are respectively connected to two dipoles. Specifically: The first connector includes: a first probe and a first connecting patch, the first connecting patch being a strip structure; the first connecting patch is disposed on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, one end of which is directly connected to a radiating patch of the corresponding dipole, and the other end of which is connected to another radiating patch of the corresponding dipole through the first probe; the second connector includes: a second probe, a second connecting patch, a third connecting patch, and a fourth connecting patch, all of which are strip structures; the second connecting patch is disposed on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, one end of which is directly connected to a radiating patch of the corresponding dipole, and the other end of which is connected to the fourth connecting patch through a connecting tube (a vertically arranged metal through-hole); the third connecting patch is disposed on the top surface of the dielectric substrate, one end of which is connected to another radiating patch of the corresponding dipole through the second probe, and the other end of which is connected to the fourth connecting patch through a connecting tube; the fourth connecting patch is disposed on the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate, with both ends connected to the other ends of the second and third connecting patches respectively through connecting tubes. The above configuration avoids mutual interference between the two dipoles, ensuring the effect of dual polarization and further improving the antenna's cross-polarization ratio and isolation.

[0079] Preferably, the second connecting patch, the third connecting patch, and the fourth connecting patch have the same length direction, and the length direction of the second connecting patch is used as the length direction of the second connector; the length direction of the second connector intersects the length direction of the first connector perpendicularly at the center of the dielectric substrate to generate +45° and -45° polarization.

[0080] In this application, the substrate, dielectric substrate, and non-metallic pillars are all made of non-metallic materials, while other components are all made of metallic materials.

[0081] The aforementioned cross-dipole antenna is a dual-polarized cross-dipole antenna based on a metasurface. It overcomes the problem of radiation pattern deterioration after reducing antenna height in existing technologies (because the distance from the radiator to the reflector is less than a quarter wavelength, the reflected wave and the wave directly radiated along the axis will not add in phase, and impedance matching over a wide bandwidth is difficult to achieve). It features low profile and high performance, without reducing the profile at the expense of performance, but ensuring high performance while reducing the profile. This results in superior antenna performance, ensuring good and stable antenna radiation performance. It is widely applicable to base station communication, base station antennas, broadband antennas, dual-polarized antennas, wireless communication systems, the Internet of Things, vehicle networking, and other fields, especially in scenarios involving low-profile base station communication environments.

[0085] 3. This application has a high cross-polarization ratio, with an average cross-polarization ratio of over 30dB for the antenna, which is much greater than 20dB. It has good polarization performance, which can better suppress various interferences and is conducive to stable signal transmission.

[0086] 4. The beamwidth of this application is relatively wide, with the antenna's 3dB beamwidth exceeding 80°, ensuring sufficient communication connectivity for the system.

[0087] 5. This application has high isolation, with the antenna having an isolation greater than 20dB across the entire operating frequency band, ensuring that each port can work independently without affecting each other.

[0088] 6. This application has a high front-to-back ratio, with the antenna having a front-to-back ratio greater than 20dB across the entire operating frequency band, ensuring radiation stability and maintaining stability in complex and ever-changing communication environments, thus having broad application prospects.

[0089] 7. This application has a simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and has low cost. It can be reliably applied in complex and ever-changing modern wireless mobile communication systems.

[0090] In one specific embodiment, the coaxial feed port connected to the first probe is designated as port 1, and the coaxial feed port connected to the second probe is designated as port 2. Both the substrate and dielectric substrate are made of FR4 material (dielectric constant 4, loss tangent 0.005), with a thickness of 0.762 mm. The ground plane thickness is 0.5 mm. The antenna height H = 34.762 mm, and the overall antenna dimensions are 220 * 220 * 34.762 mm. 3 Specific dimensions are as follows Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the metasurface layer has a length L = 220 mm and a width W = 220 mm; the metasurface unit is a square structure with a side length W2 = 39 mm; the distance between two adjacent metasurface units is 1 mm; the substrate where the metasurface unit is located has a square structure with a side length W1 = 40 mm; the sum of the distance between the metasurface layer and the radiating layer and the thickness of the dielectric substrate H2 = 7 mm; the dielectric substrate 21 has a length Lp = 180 mm and a width Wp = 180 mm; the radiating patch has a side length W3 = 60 mm, and the side length of the radiating patch minus the groove is... The length W2 = 40mm, the radius R of the rounded corners on the radiating patch = 5mm; the distance between two adjacent radiating patches is 1mm; the height H1 = 26.5mm, the side length of the cross-section of the metal pillar Wm = 27mm; the inner conductor diameter of the first and second probes is 1mm, and the diameter of the connecting tube is 1mm; the length L1 = 13.6mm and the width W5 = 5mm of the first connecting patch; the width of the second connecting patch is 5mm; the length L2 = 6mm and the width W5 = 5mm of the third connecting patch.
