Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication, people's demand for communication systems continues to increase. The number of RF system components and modern communication electronic equipment has increased significantly. The traditional wireless communication system frequency band (below 6GHz) is short of resources, and the problem of insufficient space for communication system is increasingly valued by researchers at home and abroad. The millimeter wave band has a larger available signal bandwidth, which can effectively solve the problem of lack of spectrum resources and play a key role in the new generation of wireless communication applications. In the future, it will be widely used in 5G communication, industrial Internet of Things, intelligent transportation network, radar imaging and other fields. Compared with the low-frequency microwave band, the millimeter wave has a shorter wavelength and greater path propagation loss. The millimeter wave components are more susceptible to the impact of the integration platform and the use environment, including the antenna cover, other structures of the terminal equipment, users, equipment placement and other factors, which will have a significant impact on the radiation and impedance characteristics of the millimeter wave passive components, and even cause functional failure. In order to reduce the impact of equipment and environment on antenna performance, multiple millimeter wave antenna arrays are usually placed at different locations of the equipment to improve the coverage efficiency of the antenna. However, multiple sub-arrays will take up a lot of space and require multiple feeding ports, which greatly increases the difficulty of integrating millimeter wave antennas in the device.
