Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of antenna technology, and more particularly to a reconfigurable antenna with multi-polarization coupling feeding. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of antenna technology, reconfigurable antenna has been attracting much attention since it was proposed in the 1980s. Its core lies in changing the current distribution of the antenna by changing the antenna structure, so that the antenna can work in different modes. As the interference and threat of external electromagnetic waves to communication equipment increases, polarization reconfigurable antennas are gradually emerging. Traditional antennas can only work in one mode and cannot meet the multi-mode requirements of modern communications. Polarization reconfigurable antennas can switch the antenna polarization mode in real time according to the communication environment, achieve polarization diversity, reduce polarization mismatch loss and multipath loss, and thus improve communication quality. In addition, polarization reconfigurable antennas can also achieve frequency reuse, greatly increasing the communication capacity of the system. More importantly, one polarization reconfigurable antenna can replace multiple traditional antennas, thereby significantly reducing the cost of the system. However, polarization reconfigurable antennas also face some technical challenges. Their size is mainly determined by the feeding network, radiating patches and parasitic patches. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the normal switching and operation of multiple modes, the miniaturization of the reconfigurable antenna requires the simultaneous optimization of the structure of the radiating patch, parasitic patch and feeding network. In addition, since the polarization reconfigurable antenna needs to realize the functions of four linear polarizations and two circular polarizations on the same antenna, the feeding network is relatively complex. Ensuring the impedance matching and consistency of the working bandwidth in each mode is a major difficulty in realizing the polarization reconfigurable antenna. Summary of the invention

[0024] The position of the terminal rectangular pad is vertically aligned with the gap between two adjacent parasitic patches; the flow direction of the current on the surface of the radiation patch is changed by the upper metal column.

[0025] Working principle: The multi-polarization coupled feeding reconfigurable antenna proposed in the present invention realizes the reconfigurability of antenna polarization and radiation pattern through the coordinated work of components such as multi-layer dielectric circular plates, feeding probes, diodes and power dividers. The antenna is composed of an upper dielectric circular plate, a middle dielectric circular plate and a lower dielectric circular plate from top to bottom, which are connected by feeding probes to form an overall structure. Different circuit elements are printed on each layer of dielectric circular plates, which work together to control the performance of the antenna; wherein, Circular patch and radiating patch: Four circular patches and radiating patches are printed on the top of the upper dielectric circular plate; the circular patch is used as a coupling feeding structure to couple with the radiating patch to adjust the resonant frequency; the center of the radiating patch is aligned with the upper dielectric circular plate, and the four corners are rounded to form rounded corners for adjusting the current distribution; Parasitic patch: A trapezoidal parasitic patch arranged around the radiating patch to adjust impedance matching and optimize antenna performance; Upper diode and upper metal column: The centers of the four concave fillets are connected to the upper diode, which penetrates the upper dielectric disc through the upper metal column and is connected to the middle dielectric disc. The state of the upper diode (on or off) can be controlled by a DC bias circuit, thereby changing the current flow direction, affecting the current distribution on the surface of the radiation patch, and realizing the reconfiguration of polarization or direction diagram; Pads and circuit components: The middle layer dielectric circular plate is provided with a front-end special-shaped pad, a middle rectangular pad, an end rectangular pad and a side rectangular pad, which are connected through capacitors, inductors, diodes and other components to form a DC bias circuit (in the DC bias circuit, the inductor is selected with an inductance value of 27mH, which is connected in parallel to the DC bias circuit; the capacitor is selected with a capacitance value of 43pF, which is connected in series to the DC bias circuit; they play the role of filtering and DC isolation respectively) to control the switching state of the upper diode; DC bias circuit: Through capacitor filtering and inductor isolation, the influence of DC signal on RF signal is minimized. The rectangular pad at the end is connected to the upper metal column to realize the transmission of current between the upper and lower layers. Directional pattern reconstruction structure: A directivity pattern reconstruction structure is provided at the bottom of the lower dielectric circular plate, including a Wilkinson power divider, a reconstructed microstrip line, a diode, etc. The Wilkinson power divider is used for power distribution, and the reconstructed microstrip line changes the current path through the switching state of the diode to achieve the reconfiguration of the directivity pattern; Wilkinson power divider: Four Wilkinson power dividers control the on and off of the microstrip line through diodes to form different current paths, thereby changing the radiation pattern of the antenna. In addition, the diodes are the first power divider diode, the second power divider diode, the summary diode, and the third power divider diode, which can be equivalent to a 20kΩ resistor and a 0.03pF capacitor in parallel when cut off, and can be equivalent to a 5Ω resistor when turned on; Reconstructing microstrip lines and diodes: The length of the reconstructed microstrip lines follows the law of arithmetic progression, increasing by a quarter wavelength at a time. Through the switching state of the diode, the directional pattern reconstruction in different modes is achieved; Polarization reconfiguration: By controlling the switching state of the diode on the upper dielectric circular plate and changing the current distribution on the surface of the radiation patch, the polarization of the antenna can be reconfigured. By turning on a specific diode combination, left-hand or right-hand circular polarization can be achieved. Reconfigurable radiation pattern: The multi-mode reconstruction of the antenna radiation pattern is achieved through the Wilkinson power divider and reconstructed microstrip line on the lower dielectric circular plate, as well as the corresponding diode control. Different diode combinations are turned on to form different current paths, thereby changing the radiation pattern of the antenna. DC bias and RF isolation: The DC bias circuit ensures stable transmission of the diode's control signal, while minimizing the impact on the RF signal through filtering and DC isolation components.

[0027] In linear polarization, taking mode 1 as an example, mode 1 realizes the shift of the directivity pattern toward the PIN1 direction; PIN_K1 should be turned on to make it work in mode 1; at the same time, the corresponding diodes PIN_K5, PIN_K5_1, PIN_K9, PIN_K10, PIN_K11, and PIN_K14 are turned on, and all other diodes are turned off, so as to realize the function of mode 1 ( Figure 5 , Figure 6 It can be seen that the reflection coefficient simulation results and the actual gain radiation pattern); Mode 2, Mode 3, and Mode 4 are similar.

[0028] In circular polarization, taking the left-hand mode as an example, the antenna works in the left-hand circular polarization mode; the upper diodes are all cut off, and the corresponding diodes PIN_K1 and PIN_K4 are turned on to make it work in the left-hand mode; at the same time, the corresponding diodes PIN_K5, PIN_K5_1, PIN_K6_3, PIN6_K6_4, PIN_K7_1, PIN_K8_1, PIN_K9, PIN_K10, PIN_K11, and PIN_K14 are turned on, and the other diodes are all cut off, thereby realizing the function of left-hand circular polarization ( Figure 7 , 8 , 9 shows the schematic diagram of reflection coefficient simulation results, actual gain radiation pattern, and axial ratio simulation at the operating frequency); the right-hand circular polarization working mode is similar.
