Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of filtering antennas, and in particular to a broadband filtering antenna integrating a metasurface and an AMC structure. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the increasing complexity and diversification requirements of modern wireless communication systems, it is particularly important to design antennas with wideband characteristics in the low frequency band and good filtering functions. Such antennas can effectively overcome the problem of narrow bandwidth faced by traditional filtering antennas in practical applications and significantly improve the overall performance of wireless communication systems. The integrated design method that integrates the functions of a filter and an antenna conducts an integrated design of the filter and the antenna without introducing a filter circuit structure, reduces the complexity and cost of the system, has good frequency selectivity and out-of-band rejection characteristics, and can effectively filter out interference signals.

[0003] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the complexity of the system and the demand for spectrum resources are increasing day by day. Especially in low-frequency band applications, traditional antennas face problems such as narrow bandwidth and complex structure, while wideband antennas with filtering characteristics can effectively improve these problems. In low-frequency band applications, using the design method of overlapping multiple metal sheets as an innovative antenna design method can improve the bandwidth of the antenna through a delicate stacked structure and achieve high-efficiency frequency selectivity at the same time. By utilizing the electromagnetic isolation and coupling effects of the stacked structure, interference signals can be effectively suppressed while ensuring the antenna gain, and the filtering performance can be optimized by adjusting the electromagnetic characteristics between layers. In addition, combining the filtering function with the antenna design not only improves the spectrum utilization efficiency but also makes the radiation characteristics of the antenna in different frequency bands more in line with the actual communication requirements. Therefore, the low-frequency band broadband filtering antenna designed with the overlapping structure of multiple metal patches can provide a more flexible and efficient solution for future communication systems.
