DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0034] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0035] Reference throughout the specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Thus, when the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in some embodiments" appear in various places throughout the specification, not all references are to the same embodiment. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.
[0036] The low profile, compactness, and miniaturization are universal and practical in base station antenna design. These features can maintain high gain and wide bandwidth, and promote cost reduction and efficiency improvement of base station antennas. Not only can it reduce the site area required for urban deployment and improve the space utilization of base station antennas, it also has the advantages of easy installation and disassembly, effectively reducing labor and time costs.
[0037] After investigating existing antenna products, it was found that the introduction of Fabry-Perot resonant cavity in low-profile, compact dual-polarized base station antennas may have development potential. With the help of Fabry-Perot resonant cavity, base station antennas can improve gain and bandwidth, better achieve regional signal coverage, and break through the limitations of existing base station antenna performance. Based on the advantages of base station antennas, this paper continues and optimizes the characteristics of low profile, miniaturization and gain.
[0038] For this purpose, see Figure 1 The present invention provides a dual-polarization high-gain base station antenna, including an antenna supporting floor 10, a feeding bracket 20 vertically arranged on the antenna supporting floor 10, an antenna radiating plate 30 arranged on the feeding bracket 20, and a signal resonant plate 40 suspended above the antenna radiating plate 30, wherein the antenna supporting floor 10, the antenna radiating plate 30 and the signal resonant plate 40 are parallel.
[0039] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the shapes of the antenna supporting floor 10, the antenna radiating plate 30 and the signal resonant plate 40 can be circular or polygonal. Exemplarily, the antenna supporting floor 10, the antenna radiating plate 30 and the signal resonant plate 40 are all square (for example, a square), the edge of the antenna radiating plate 30 is not parallel to the edge of the antenna supporting floor 10 (that is, the four sides of the antenna radiating plate 30 and the four sides of the antenna supporting floor 10 are not parallel), and the edge of the signal resonant plate 40 and the edge of the antenna radiating plate 30 are parallel (that is, the four sides of the signal resonant plate 40 and the four sides of the antenna radiating plate 30 are parallel). In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, taking the antenna supporting floor 10, the antenna radiating plate 30 and the signal resonance plate 40 as squares as an example, if the antenna supporting floor 10 is used as a placement reference, the placement of the antenna radiating plate 30 can be understood as being obtained by rotating a certain angle (excluding the endpoints, taking a value of 0-90°, such as 45° as an example) around the center of the antenna radiating plate 30 on the basis of the placement reference of the antenna supporting floor 10. Preferably, the center point of the antenna supporting floor 10, the center point of the antenna radiating plate 30 and the center point of the signal resonance plate 40 are located on the same vertical line.
[0040] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, in order for the signal resonance plate 40 to better receive the signal radiated by the antenna radiation plate 30, the orthographic projection of the signal resonance plate 40 on the antenna radiation plate 10 completely covers the antenna radiation plate 30. Simply put, the size of the signal resonance plate 40 is larger than the size of the antenna radiation plate 30. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the size of the signal resonance plate 40 can be 64.4mm×64.4mm×1mm, and the size of the antenna radiation plate 30 can be 60mm×60mm×1mm. The spacing between the signal resonance plate 40 and the antenna radiation plate 30 can be 2-5mm, and can be 2mm for example. The signal resonance plate 40 uses FR4-epoxy material with a dielectric constant of 4.6 and a dielectric loss factor of 0.016. The upper surface of the resonant cavity refers to the Jerusalem type unit, while the lower surface refers to the circular patch type metasurface unit, the aperture type metasurface unit, and the gain antenna loaded with the ACM (adaptive coding and modulation) unit. The ACM metasurface unit is designed to offset the reflected electromagnetic waves by introducing a certain phase difference, thereby reducing the intensity of the reflected signal of the antenna in the receiving direction. Subsequent test data showed that the resonant cavity has a significant effect on improving the bandwidth and gain of the antenna.
[0041] See also Figure 2In the present invention, the signal resonant plate 40 is provided with a Jerusalem-type metasurface structure 50 on the surface facing outward (ie, the surface facing away from the antenna radiation plate 30), see Figure 3 , a circular patch metasurface structure 60 is provided on the inner surface of the signal resonance plate (i.e., the surface facing the antenna radiation plate 30), and a Fabry-Perot resonant cavity is formed between the Jerusalem-type metasurface structure 50 and the circular patch metasurface structure 60. The Fabry-Perot resonant cavity can support multi-frequency signal oscillations. By adjusting its structural parameters, it can adapt to the resonant frequencies of different modes, thereby realizing the selection and adjustment of the frequency band used by the antenna, while stabilizing and improving the impedance matching effect of the antenna, so that the antenna can perform better. In the resonant cavity, different reflection and transmission characteristics are generated for different modes (integer multiples of the wavelength). This characteristic will make the gain distribution of the antenna different in different modes, helping to better optimize and adjust the directivity of the antenna.
[0042] See also Figure 2 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the Jerusalem-type metasurface structure 50 includes a cross-shaped metasurface unit 70, and a square array metasurface unit 80 distributed in four quadrants of the cross-shaped metasurface unit 70; the circular patch metasurface structure 60 includes a circular array metasurface unit; the square patches of the square array metasurface unit 80 correspond one to one with the circular patches of the circular array metasurface unit. A metasurface refers to a planar periodic structure formed by arranging metal patch units in a specific period. Metasurface structures can be divided into two types: pore type and patch type, and the present invention adopts a patch type metasurface structure. This type of metasurface structure can achieve total reflection of incident electromagnetic waves at a specific frequency. In the present invention, a Fabry-Perot resonant cavity constructed by two parallel reflectors formed by the square array metasurface unit 80 and the circular array metasurface unit is used, and reflection and transmission occur when the signal passes through the resonant cavity, resulting in a signal superposition effect. At the same time, the incident signal is reflected back and forth in the resonant cavity to form resonance. If specific conditions are met, the incident signal can be selectively enhanced and filtered, thereby improving the radiation efficiency and thus the gain effect of the antenna.
[0043] See also Figure 4In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a four-leaf clover-shaped radiating antenna is provided on one side of the antenna radiating plate 30 facing the signal resonant plate 40, and the four-leaf clover-shaped radiating antenna includes a first electric dipole 90, a second electric dipole 100, a third electric dipole 110, and a fourth electric dipole 120, wherein the first electric dipole 90 and the fourth electric dipole 120 are arranged diagonally, and the second electric dipole 100 and the third electric dipole 110 are arranged diagonally. In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the first electric dipole 90, the second electric dipole 100, the third electric dipole 110, and the fourth electric dipole 120 are all hexagons with hollow interiors. In the present invention, the radiation unit is designed to adjust the impedance matching and isolation of the antenna, and a cross-symmetrical electric dipole structure is adopted. The radiation patch refers to the common four-leaf clover radiation patch, and the above-mentioned symmetrical electric dipole model is proposed, aiming to achieve good antenna impedance matching and effective coupling effect. Since the length of the symmetrical electric dipole is related to the operating frequency of the antenna, in order to achieve miniaturization of the antenna, the present invention can select a quarter wavelength as the length of the electric dipole.
[0044] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the feeding bracket 20 includes a first support plate 130 and a second support plate 140 arranged crosswise.

[0045] The second support plate 140 includes a second feeding surface and a second coupling surface that are arranged opposite to each other. A third coupling patch and a fourth coupling patch are arranged on both sides of the cross position on the second coupling surface, respectively. The first end of the third coupling patch passes through the antenna radiation plate and is electrically connected to the second electric dipole 100. The first end of the fourth coupling patch passes through the antenna radiation plate 30 and is electrically connected to the third electric dipole 110. An inverted L-shaped second feeding branch is arranged on the second feeding surface. The vertical arm of the second feeding branch is coupled with the third coupling patch. The horizontal arm of the second feeding branch passes through the first support plate 130 and is coupled with the fourth coupling patch. In the present invention, a feeder structure of an X plate (i.e., the first support plate 130) and a Y plate (i.e., the second support plate 140) is adopted. The radio frequency signal is transmitted to the antenna through the inverted L-shaped balun feeding structure to realize radiation or reception. The feeder and the antenna adopt microstrip printing technology. The vertical cross feeding structure of the X plate and the Y plate is vertically staggered and distributed through the openings of the dielectric plate.

[0048] See also Figure 2In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a square patch reflective array 300 is provided on the surface of the antenna support floor 10 around the feeding bracket 20. In this embodiment of the present invention, the antenna support floor 10 not only supports the base station antenna structure, but also plays a role of radiation reflection, reflecting the downward scattered radiation energy back. The size of the antenna support floor 10 can be 113mm×113mm×1mm. A patch-type metasurface structure is adopted in the antenna support floor 10, and this type of metasurface structure can achieve total reflection of the incident electromagnetic waves at a specific frequency. The base station antenna in the present invention can also improve the antenna parameters by optimizing this structure.
[0049] In order to better illustrate the performance of the dual-polarization high-gain base station antenna of the present invention, the present invention processes an antenna object, the structure of which includes Figure 1-Figure 7 All the features shown in this paper are measured for the performance of the antenna. The results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure, S11 represents the reflection coefficient of port 1 when port 2 is matched; S22 represents the reflection coefficient of port 2 when port 1 is matched. The lower the values of S11 and S22, the better the impedance matching effect of the antenna. Usually, the requirement for antennas is that the port reflection coefficient is less than -10dB, while the engineering application antenna requires the port reflection coefficient to be less than -14dB. Therefore, Figure 8 The results presented in this paper show that the antenna broadband requirement is achieved. Fig. 9 As shown, the base station antenna of the present invention is installed in a vertically spaced manner to obtain a larger isolation. The minimum isolation requirement of the antenna is less than -10dB. The isolation of the antenna design reaches below -15dB, and even reaches below -20dB, achieving a high isolation.
[0050] The dual-polarized high-gain base station antenna of the present invention has the characteristics of miniaturization and low profile, and is suitable for the current 5G communication market environment. The antenna achieves working frequency band coverage of 2.4-2.59GHz, 3.16-3.86GHz, 3.98-4.28GHz, and the center resonant frequency is 3.45GHz. The overall size of its antenna assembly is 113mm×113mm×25.7mm. The base station antenna dielectric plate material used in the present invention is FR4-epoxy, which has a dielectric constant of 4.6 and a dielectric loss factor of 0.016. The antenna consists of four parts in total. , including a Fabry-Perot resonant cavity, a symmetrical electric dipole support plate, an X / Y axis support dielectric plate and an antenna support floor. In the technical combination, it is explored to improve the directional pattern, gain and reflection coefficient data of the base station antenna by loading metasurfaces, metamaterial structures and Fabry-Perot resonant cavities, and successfully improve the gain value. At the same time, the antenna also achieves the requirements of miniaturization while ensuring high gain and wide bandwidth.
[0051] In summary, the present invention mainly studies and explores the requirements of miniaturization, high gain, and wide bandwidth of base station antennas.
[0052] Miniaturization application: Miniaturized dual-polarized base station antennas can achieve dual-polarized (horizontal and vertical) radiation in a limited space, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of base station antennas. By loading more antenna elements in the limited base station antenna installation space, the capacity and coverage of the communication system can be improved.
[0053] High gain effect: High-gain base station antennas can transmit communication signals to a greater distance more fully, thereby expanding the signal coverage of the communication system. High-gain base station antenna signals can penetrate obstacles or transmit farther in complex environments. This means that better communication coverage can be achieved in mountainous areas, urban high-rise areas, or areas far away from base stations. At the same time, the high signal strength will reduce signal attenuation during transmission, thereby improving the signal quality and communication stability at the receiving end. This enables more reliable communication in areas with poor signal coverage or in environments with large signal interference.
[0054] Broadband function: Broadband base station antennas can provide communication services in different frequency bands and support multi-band communications. They can more effectively utilize spectrum resources, avoid vacant or wasted frequency bands, and improve spectrum utilization.
[0055] The research significance of the low-profile compact dual-polarized base station antenna of the present invention is to improve the space utilization efficiency of the base station antenna, while improving the signal area coverage, better using spectrum resources, and meeting the use needs. The development and improvement of such requirements also have practical application significance. With the prosperity of the Internet and the Internet of Things, the rapid development and popularization of communication technology have made base station antennas one of the important components of wireless communication systems. At the same time, the current growing demand and the continuous development of technology are driving the demand for base station antennas towards performance characteristics such as dual polarization, broadband, miniaturization, and high gain.
