AI Technical Summary
Existing ultra-wideband tightly coupled array antennas have difficulty achieving a low active standing wave ratio on both the E and H planes at large scanning angles, which increases the probability of damage to active devices. Traditional impedance matching methods cannot simultaneously improve the impedance of both the E and H planes.
A polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure is adopted, including the first, second, and third polarization-sensitive structures and a wide-angle matching layer. Through the asymmetric metal patch design and slot structure, the equivalent capacitance and impedance are adjusted to reduce the active standing wave ratio.
The active standing wave ratio is less than 2.0 (corresponding to a return loss S11 lower than -9dB) at large scanning angles on the E/H plane, ensuring the safety of active devices and improving array gain. It is suitable for large-scale high-power phased arrays.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ultra-wideband array antenna, in particular to an ultra-wideband tightly coupled array antenna. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, as an indispensable part of the communication system, the antenna with ultra-wideband and wide scanning angle performance gradually becomes a research hotspot. The design of traditional ultra-wideband antenna array is mainly based on the design of wideband antenna unit, and then the array is formed. During this period, the influence of mutual coupling effect between array elements on the in-band active standing wave of each array element needs to be avoided. This design method makes it difficult to further expand the low frequency bandwidth of the traditional ultra-wideband antenna array. Based on the connected array theory proposed by Wheeler, Munk and others proposed a strongly coupled ultra-wideband phased array antenna. The elements in the array antenna are closely arranged, so that the capacitive mutual coupling effect is introduced between adjacent array elements, so as to offset the inductive effect caused by the reflector, and realize the expansion of the impedance bandwidth of the array antenna and the low profile design. At this time, the tightly coupled array antenna has become one of the hotspots in the field of antenna research, and excellent achievements have entered the public view.
[0003] In order to meet the requirements of bandwidth, scanning angle and impedance matching in the current ultra-wideband tightly coupled array, the active standing wave ratio is often bounded by 3.0, and this standard can even be relaxed to 3.5 when the array scanning angle is large. The return loss S11 corresponding to the standing wave ratio 3.0 is about -6dB, and for some large-scale high-power phased array, the higher return loss will increase the damage probability of the T / R and other active devices in the back end. The return loss S11 corresponding to the standing wave ratio 2.0 is about -9dB, and the damage probability will be significantly reduced.
[0004] According to the periodic array scanning theory of Wheeler, when the array is scanned along the E plane and the H plane, the characteristic impedance of the array changes with the scanning angle respectively. This leads to that if the conventional regular wide-angle matching layer or periodic frequency selective surface is used for improving the wide scanning angle impedance matching of the array, if the impedance matching on one plane is improved, the impedance matching on the other plane will be deteriorated, which cannot be considered at the same time, resulting in that it is impossible to realize low active standing wave at the same time in the case of large scanning angle in E plane and H plane. SUMMARY The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a polarized sensitive wide-angle matching structure with low active standing wave in a large scanning angle range and an ultra-wideband wide-angle low-standing wave tightly coupled antenna, which can guarantee the ultra-wideband performance of the array.
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a polarized sensitive wide-angle matching structure with low active standing wave in a large scanning angle range and an ultra-wideband wide-angle low-standing wave tightly coupled antenna, which can guarantee the ultra-wideband performance of the array.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] The present invention first provides a polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure, comprising:
[0008] a first polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate;
[0009] A first polarization-sensitive structure is provided on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate of the first polarization-sensitive structure, and is used to further improve the high-frequency impedance mismatch phenomenon of the ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle single-polarization tightly coupled antenna and the tightly coupled array under large scanning angles in the E-plane and H-plane;
[0010] a second polarization sensitive structure dielectric substrate;
[0011] A second polarization-sensitive structure is provided on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate of the second polarization-sensitive structure, and is used to improve the impedance mismatch phenomenon in the entire frequency band of the ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle single-polarization tightly coupled antenna and the tightly coupled array under large scanning angles in the E-plane and H-plane;
[0012] A third polarization-sensitive structure is provided on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate of the second polarization-sensitive structure, and is used to improve the low-frequency impedance mismatch phenomenon of the ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle single-polarization tightly coupled antenna and the tightly coupled array under the condition of large H-plane scanning angle;
[0013] an isolation layer, disposed between the first polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate and the second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate, and used for supporting and isolating the first polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate and the second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate;
[0014] A wide-angle matching layer is provided below the second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate; and a slot structure for destroying surface wave propagation is provided on the wide-angle matching layer.
[0015] The first polarization-sensitive structure is a cross-shaped metal patch along the E-plane and H-plane of the antenna. The width and length of the cross-shaped metal patch are different on the E-plane and H-plane. Due to its asymmetric structure along the E-plane and H-plane, it produces a smaller coupling capacitance on the E-plane, slowing the decrease in its impedance with increasing E-plane scanning angle. It produces a larger equivalent capacitance on the H-plane, effectively suppressing the increase in the array's impedance with increasing H-plane scanning angle. For the E-plane and H-plane, the strip-shaped patches can adjust their equivalent capacitance respectively (the long side arranged along the E-plane produces the H-plane direction, i.e., the equivalent capacitance of the TE mode; the long side arranged along the H-plane produces the E-plane direction, i.e., the equivalent capacitance of the TM mode). The strip-shaped patches for E-plane adjustment and H-plane adjustment exist simultaneously and are orthogonal, forming a cross shape.
[0016] The second polarization-sensitive structure consists of two rows of long metal patches along the E-plane of the antenna. This layer primarily adjusts the equivalent capacitance generated by the H-plane (hence the absence of the E-plane strips, which form a cross-shaped structure). The number and size of these patches are designed to adjust the equivalent capacitance, and the two rows effectively act as a series connection of equivalent capacitors.
[0017] The third polarization-sensitive structure consists of an "I"-shaped metal patch arranged along the antenna's H-plane. The I-shaped structure can be thought of as a strip-shaped patch with its long edge aligned along the E-plane. The array elements are internally connected by metal strips aligned along the H-plane. This structure serves only to increase mutual coupling between adjacent elements along the H-plane, thereby improving active standing waves at the low-frequency end at large H-plane scan angles. (One of the main factors affecting active standing waves at the low-frequency end is mutual coupling between elements, namely the size of the equivalent coupling capacitance.)
[0018] The present invention also provides an ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle single-polarization low standing wave tightly coupled antenna, comprising:
[0019] Antenna unit; the antenna unit includes a radiating structure;
[0020] as well as
[0021] The polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure provided above; the polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure is arranged above the radiation structure of the antenna unit.
[0022] The antenna unit also includes a feed structure and a metal ground. The polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure is placed above the antenna radiating structure and consists of a wide-angle matching layer, a polarization-sensitive structure, and a support structure. The polarization-sensitive structure has different layouts along the E-plane and H-plane directions of the array, which can produce different equivalent dielectric constants. The radiating structure includes a pair of conical radiating patches, a coupling patch, and a row of metalized short-circuit vias. The feed structure consists of two short-circuit probes, which are responsible for connecting the conical radiating patches to the inner conductor of the coaxial line and the metal ground respectively. The metal ground is a metal plate with holes punched in corresponding positions to allow the probes connected to the inner conductor of the coaxial line to pass through.
[0023] The wide-angle matching layer is a perforated dielectric substrate that is used to initially improve the impedance matching performance of the antenna. The holes in the dielectric substrate can suppress surface waves on the dielectric substrate. The wide-angle matching layer is located between the radiating patch and the polarization-sensitive structure.
[0024] The main body of the radiation structure is a pair of conical metal dipole patches, which achieve a certain impedance transformation capability through a gradually tapered structure; one arm of the metal dipole patch is connected to the inner conductor of the coaxial feed cable through a short-circuit probe through a hole in the metal floor, and the other arm is directly connected to the metal floor through a short-circuit probe. In addition, the radiation patch is also equipped with a row of metal short-circuit probes to eliminate common-mode resonance within the frequency band.
[0025] The feeding structure is two short-circuit probes, which are responsible for connecting the conical radiation patch and the inner conductor of the coaxial line and the metal ground respectively.
[0026] The metal ground is a metal plate with holes punched at corresponding positions to allow a probe connected to the inner conductor of the coaxial line to pass through, which plays a role in directional radiation of the array.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0028] The three polarization-sensitive structures used in the polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure of the present invention are periodic metal patches printed on a dielectric substrate. The structure is asymmetric along the E-plane and H-plane of the antenna, which can produce different equivalent dielectric constants on the two planes. This optimized E-plane / H-plane asymmetric structure has a characteristic impedance that varies with the scanning angle. by The polarization sensitive structure used in the present invention can produce a smaller equivalent dielectric constant for the changing E-plane, so as to slow down the deterioration of the antenna characteristic impedance when it exceeds the optimal impedance matching point (50Ω); by The polarization-sensitive structure employed in this invention produces a larger equivalent dielectric constant, significantly reducing the magnitude of the antenna's characteristic impedance as the scanning angle increases, and slowing the degradation of active standing waves. This process achieves low active standing waves at large scanning angles in both the E-plane and H-plane.
[0029] Through a polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure, the tightly coupled array achieves an active standing wave ratio (SWR) of less than 2.0 (corresponding to a return loss (S11) below -9dB) across a 0° to 60° scan angle along both the E- and H-planes over an ultra-wideband range of 6GHz to 18GHz. In large-scale, high-power phased arrays, ultra-wideband arrays with low return loss (low SWR) can ensure the safety of active components and improve array gain, offering promising applications. Furthermore, a row of grounded shorting probes is incorporated into the tightly coupled radiating arms of the antenna to eliminate common-mode resonances caused by the periodic arrangement of the vertical feed structure, thereby ensuring the antenna's operating bandwidth.

[0051] As Figure 1As shown, a schematic diagram of a polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure of an ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle low standing wave tightly coupled antenna unit provided by the present invention includes a first polarization-sensitive structure 1, the first polarization-sensitive structure 1 is printed on a first polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 2, and the first polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 2 and the second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 5 are supported and isolated by a PMI support material 3. The second polarization-sensitive structure 4 and the third polarization-sensitive structure 6 are printed on the upper and lower sides of the second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 5, respectively. The second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 5 and the wide-angle matching layer 8 are bonded by the first dielectric substrate adhesive layer 7. There is a hole in the middle of the wide-angle matching layer 8 to destroy the propagation of surface waves, and PMI filling cylinders 10 are used to fill some of the holes. The above-mentioned polarization-sensitive wide-angle matching structure is bonded to the radiation structure below through the second dielectric substrate adhesive layer 9.
[0052] The second polarization-sensitive structure 4 and the third polarization-sensitive structure 6 are respectively printed on the upper and lower sides of the second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 5 in order to reduce cost and thickness. However, the second polarization-sensitive structure 4 and the third polarization-sensitive structure 6 can also be respectively printed on one polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a first polarization-sensitive structure 1 of an ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle low standing wave tightly coupled antenna unit, the first polarization-sensitive structure 1 is printed on a first polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 2; the first polarization-sensitive structure 1 is a rectangular patch along the E-plane and a rectangular patch along the H-plane placed orthogonally to form an asymmetric cross-shaped metal patch. The width and length of the cross-shaped metal patch on the E-plane and the H-plane are different. In one embodiment, the number of cross-shaped metal patches is four, and each cross-shaped metal patch has a rectangular patch length of 3 mm and a width of 0.1 mm along the E-plane; and a rectangular patch length of 2.8 mm and a width of 0.4 mm along the H-plane.
[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the second polarization-sensitive structure 4 of the ultra-wideband, sweep-angle, low-standing-wave, tightly coupled antenna unit provided by the present invention is printed on the upper side of the second polarization-sensitive structure dielectric substrate 5. The second polarization-sensitive structure 4 comprises two rows of metal strips arranged along the H-plane. In one embodiment, each row of metal strips contains 10 rectangular patches, each measuring 3 mm x 0.3 mm. The closest spacing between the two rows of metal strips is 0.1 mm.

The holes in the dielectric substrate suppress surface waves within the dielectric substrate. The wide-angle matching layer 8 is located between the radiating patch and the polarization-sensitive structure. The wide-angle matching layer 8 contains multiple evenly distributed holes to suppress surface wave propagation. The holes below the dielectric substrate are filled with PMI filling cylinders 10 to prevent backflow of the adhesive between the upper and lower adhesive layers.
[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle low standing wave tightly coupled antenna unit, which includes a radiation structure, a feeding structure and a metal ground.
[0058] The radiating structure consists of a pair of conical metal dipole patches, whose gradually tapering shape achieves a certain impedance transformation capability. One arm of the metal dipole patch connects to the inner conductor of the coaxial feed cable via a shorting probe through a hole in the metal floor, while the other arm connects directly to the metal floor via a shorting probe. A row of metal shorting probes is also attached to the radiating patch to eliminate common-mode resonance within the frequency band. The ground arm of the conical metal dipole patch is connected along the H-plane.
[0059] The radiating structure includes a conical radiating patch 11 and a coupling metal patch 15. The conical radiating patch 11 is printed on a dielectric substrate 17 that supports the radiating structure. A row of metalized short-circuit vias 12 is present on the ground side of the conical radiating patch 11 to shift the common-mode resonance out of the high-frequency band. A coupling metal patch 15 is present below the conical radiating patch 11 to increase the equivalent capacitance between adjacent array elements. Due to material thickness limitations, the dielectric substrate 17 supporting the radiating structure is divided into three layers of dielectric substrate made of the same material, bonded together by a third dielectric substrate adhesive layer 16 and a fourth dielectric substrate adhesive layer 18. The feeding side of the conical radiating patch 11 is connected to the connector feeding inner conductor via a feeding metalized via 13, and the grounding side is connected to the metal ground 19 via a grounding metalized via 14.
[0060] The feeding structure consists of two short-circuit probes, which are responsible for connecting the conical radiation patch and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable and the metal ground respectively.
[0061] The metal ground is a metal plate with holes punched at corresponding positions to allow the probe connected to the inner conductor of the coaxial cable to pass through, which plays the role of directional radiation of the array.

The feeding arm of the conical radiation patch 11 is connected to the feeding metallized via 13, and one side of the grounding arm of the conical radiation patch 11 is connected to the metallized short-circuit via row 12 and the grounding metallized via 14, which plays a role in suppressing in-band common mode resonance.
[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, a bottom view of the radiation structure and feeding structure of an ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle low standing wave tightly coupled antenna unit provided by the present invention includes a metallized short-circuit via row 12, a feeding metallized via 13, a grounding metallized via 14 and a coupling metal patch 15; the coupling metal patch 15 is a rectangular metal patch with a size of 2.1mm×0.8mm, and is located below the conical radiation patch 11 of the adjacent unit.
[0064] like Figure 9 As shown, the metal ground 19 of the ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle low standing wave tightly coupled antenna unit provided by the present invention has holes dug on it for the feeding metallized via 13 to pass through and connect to the inner conductor of the connector.
[0065] Figure 10 The following are the active standing wave ratio (ASWR) curves for the present invention at E-plane scanning angles of 0°, 45°, 60°, and 70°. When the E-plane scanning angle range is 0° to 60°, the proposed ultra-wideband sweep angle, low standing wave, tightly coupled antenna maintains an ASR below 1.9. When scanning to 70° on the E-plane, the proposed ultra-wideband sweep angle, low standing wave, tightly coupled antenna maintains an ASR below 2.7, outperforming existing ultra-wideband tightly coupled arrays.
[0066] Figure 11 The following are the active standing wave ratio (ASWR) curves for the present invention at H-plane scanning angles of 0°, 45°, 60°, and 70°. When the H-plane scanning angle range is 0° to 60°, the proposed ultra-wideband sweep angle, low standing wave, tightly coupled antenna maintains an ASR below 1.9. When scanning to 70°, the proposed ultra-wideband sweep angle, low standing wave, tightly coupled antenna maintains an ASR below 2.7, outperforming existing ultra-wideband tightly coupled arrays.

As an illustration, this array uses 12×12 array elements, of which the central 8×8 array elements are excited, and the two rows / columns of array elements on each edge serve as dummy elements to suppress edge truncation effects.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features therein can be replaced with equivalents.
