Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of radar and antenna technology, and in particular to a highly integrated in-band and out-of-band low RCS transmission array antenna. Background Art
[0002] As the competition for electromagnetic power intensifies, the electromagnetic transceiver capability and electromagnetic stealth performance of equipment need to be further improved to adapt to different application scenarios. After strict shape optimization and the application of absorbing materials, the radar cross section (RCS) of the equipment has been significantly reduced. However, the RCS reduction of the antenna responsible for the electromagnetic transceiver function cannot be achieved through these technologies. In addition, with the rapid development of radar and communication systems, there is an increasing demand for antennas with multiple integrated functions such as high gain, circular polarization, and beam controllability, thereby improving the detection or communication distance and signal quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore solutions for the stealth of these high-performance multifunctional antennas.
[0003] The planar transmission array antenna is a high-gain air-fed antenna that combines the advantages of a planar microstrip array antenna and a lens antenna. As a high-gain air-fed array antenna, it combines array antenna theory and optical principles, and can achieve high-gain radiation through a relatively simple structure, which has attracted the attention of many scholars and experts. Compared with the planar reflector array antenna, the planar transmission array antenna does not have the problem of feed source shielding, because the feed source and beam radiation direction of the planar transmission array antenna are distributed on both sides of the array surface, which makes the transmission array antenna simpler and more flexible in design. At the same time, because there is no feed source shielding effect, in theory, compared with the reflector array antenna, higher aperture efficiency can be achieved, and the sidelobe level and cross-polarization level are lower, which can enable the transmission array antenna to be used in high-quality communication systems. Existing inventions have explored a variety of methods to reduce the RCS of the transmission array antenna. For example, a low RCS transmission array antenna is realized by using dielectric columns of different heights and bandpass frequency selective surfaces as phase shifters. In addition, asymmetric resonators with resistors are used to obtain absorption-transmission-absorption response, and beam convergence is achieved by rotating the open resonant ring to control the transmission phase. However, these low RCS transmission array antennas lack the ability to reduce RCS within the transmission band and have a low degree of integration. In actual use, they have problems such as weak adaptability and poor portability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to realize a transmission array antenna with high gain radiation, strong beam focusing capability, high integration, and low RCS characteristics within and outside the transmission band, so that it can adapt to different application scenarios and have the ability to face complex electromagnetic environments.

Among them, the feed 1 can be a key component in a radio telescope, a satellite communication system or other wireless communication equipment, and its main function is to receive the electromagnetic wave signal from a distance and convert it into a processable electrical signal, or conversely, to convert the electrical signal into an electromagnetic wave and transmit it in the transmission mode. Its structure is usually a simple horn antenna or a more complex multi-mode feed 1 device.

Each antenna unit can independently emit electromagnetic waves, and the direction and shape of the beam emitted by the entire array can be controlled by adjusting the phase and amplitude of each unit, so the function of beam convergence can also be realized. In this embodiment, the feed source 1 is arranged at a preset position away from the array surface of the transmission array 2, and is used to provide electromagnetic waves to the array surface. Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission array 2 includes a plurality of radiation units and a dielectric substrate for supporting the radiation units; the radiation units include A-type radiation units and B-type radiation units; the center of the dielectric substrate is taken as the origin, and two mutually orthogonal axes (such as a Cartesian coordinate system) are used to divide the dielectric substrate into four quadrants of equal area; a plurality of A-type radiation units (a total of M A-type radiation units, where M≥2) are periodically and evenly arranged in the second quadrant area and the fourth quadrant area, respectively, and a plurality of B-type radiation units (a total of N B-type radiation units, where N≥2) are periodically and evenly arranged in the first quadrant area and the third quadrant area, respectively.

There is a first air layer between the first dielectric substrate 3 and the second dielectric substrate 4, and there is a second air layer between the second dielectric substrate 4 and the third dielectric substrate 5.
[0025] Any A-type radiation unit includes a metal layer A1 attached to the top surface of the first dielectric substrate 3, a metal layer A2 attached to the top surface of the second dielectric substrate 4, a metal layer A3 attached to the bottom surface of the second dielectric substrate 4, and a metal layer A4 attached to the bottom surface of the third dielectric substrate 5; any B-type radiation unit includes a metal layer B1 attached to the top surface of the first dielectric substrate 3, a metal layer B2 attached to the top surface of the second dielectric substrate 4, a metal layer B3 attached to the bottom surface of the second dielectric substrate 4, and a metal layer B4 attached to the bottom surface of the third dielectric substrate 5; the metal layers A1~A4 are arranged in sequence, and the metal layers B1~B4 are arranged in sequence. In this embodiment, since the metal layers A1 of all A-type radiation units and the metal layers B1 of all B-type radiation units are attached to the same surface of the same dielectric substrate, for the convenience of understanding, the metal layer structure composed of all metal layers A1 and all metal layers B1 is named the first metal layer 6. For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown above, the metal layer structure composed of all metal layers A2 and all metal layers B2 is named the second metal layer 7, and the specific reference is Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown above, the metal layer structure composed of all metal layers A3 and all metal layers B3 is named the third metal layer 8, which can be specifically referred to Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown above, the metal layer structure composed of all metal layers A4 and all metal layers B4 is named the fourth metal layer 9, which can be specifically referred to Figure 1 and Fig. 9 shown.

[0027] The metal layer A2 includes four V-grooved metal stickers a21; the opening directions of the four V-grooved metal stickers a21 are the same; the four secondary cross-shaped stickers a13 of the metal layer A1 are mapped into four cross-shaped Y3 on the top surface of the second dielectric substrate 4, and the vertices of the four V-grooved metal stickers a21 coincide with the centers of the four cross-shaped Y3 respectively; the metal layer A3 includes four V-grooved metal stickers a31; the vertices of the four V-grooved metal stickers a31 coincide with the vertices of the four V-grooved metal stickers a21 respectively; wherein the opening direction of the V-grooved metal sticker a31 differs from the opening direction of the V-grooved metal sticker a21 by 90° (the opening directions of the four V-grooved metal stickers a31 may be consistent or inconsistent, but the opening direction of any V-grooved metal sticker a31 differs from the opening direction of the V-grooved metal sticker a21 by +90° or -90°). The metal layer B2 has the same structure as the metal layer A2; the metal layer B3 has the same structure as the metal layer A3.
[0028] like Fig.10 As shown, when the opening direction of the V-groove metal patch a31 differs from the opening direction of the V-groove metal patch a21 by +90°, the transmission array antenna operates in the first transmission state; Fig.11 As shown, when the opening direction of the V-groove metal patch a31 differs from the opening direction of the V-groove metal patch a21 by -90°, the transmission array antenna works in the second transmission state. The transmission amplitudes of the first transmission state and the second transmission state are similar, and the transmission phase difference is 180°. Fig.12 is the transmission phase of the transmission array antenna in the first transmission state (Bit0) and the second transmission state (Bit1). The transmission phase difference between the transmission state Bit0 and the transmission state Bit1 in the band can be stably maintained at 180°, indicating that the second metal layer 7 and the third metal layer 8 are arranged in a specific manner in the transmission state Bit0 and the transmission state Bit1 to achieve the transmission beam focusing function in the band. Further, as Fig.13 As shown, the transmission frequency band of type A radiation unit (unit A in the figure) is wider than that of type B radiation unit (unit B in the figure). The entire transmission array antenna is composed of type A radiation unit and type B radiation unit. Therefore, the transmission frequency band of the entire transmission array antenna is 12~14GHz, and the transmission amplitude within the band performs well, indicating that the highly integrated in-band and out-of-band low radar scattering cross-section transmission array antenna has good in-band transmission performance.
[0029] Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the metal layer A4 includes four secondary cross-shaped stickers a41 (such as Figure 4As shown), the four secondary cross-shaped stickers a41 overlap with the mapping of the four secondary cross-shaped stickers a13 on the bottom surface of the third dielectric substrate 5; the metal layer B4 includes four secondary cross-shaped stickers b41, and the four secondary cross-shaped stickers b41 overlap with the mapping of the four secondary cross-shaped stickers b13 on the bottom surface of the third dielectric substrate 5; for details, please refer to Fig. 9 .like Fig.14 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, due to the different sizes of the secondary cross-shaped patch a13 and the secondary cross-shaped patch b13, the different sizes of the primary cross-shaped patch a11 and the primary cross-shaped patch b11, and the different sizes of the right-angle patch a12 and the right-angle patch b12, the reflection phase differences of the A-type radiating unit and the B-type radiating unit in the in-band (12~14GHz), out-of-band low frequency (8~10.5GHz) and out-of-band high frequency (15~17.7GHz) can be maintained within the range of 180°±37°.
