Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, and more particularly, to a triple-band coplanar array antenna with integrated transmission, reflection, and scattering functions. Background Art

[0002] With the development of wireless communication technology, the requirements for antennas in communication systems are getting higher and higher. Traditional single-band and single-function antennas can no longer meet the needs of multi-band, high-performance, low-cost, and miniaturization, especially in communication systems that need to support multiple bands simultaneously and have diverse communication environments. To improve the frequency utilization rate, multi-band antennas that can process signals of multiple bands through the same array antenna have been proposed to optimize the spectrum utilization rate and effectively increase the information capacity of the communication system. On the other hand, multi-functional antennas integrate multiple radiation functions into the same array antenna, reducing the physical space occupancy rate of the communication system and expanding the application scenarios of the array antenna.

[0003] Currently, coplanar array antennas provide an effective solution for simultaneously achieving multi-function and multi-band capabilities. By stacking or integrating elements operating at different frequencies on the surface of the same dielectric layer, multi-functional radiation characteristics within multiple bands can be achieved. Among them, the array antenna using the stacking method can simultaneously achieve beam control in the front and rear half-spaces, that is, it can realize the functions of transmission, reflection, and scattering at multiple frequencies. However, with the increase in frequency bands or functions, the coplanar array antenna using the stacking method will result in a large number of dielectric layers, and a certain air gap needs to be left between each layer, which greatly increases the cost and complexity of the array antenna and reduces its stability. To improve the integration level, scholars often choose to integrate two elements with different frequency bands in a staggered manner to realize the design of a multi-functional array antenna within the dual band. However, this method limits the functions of the array antenna and can only achieve beam domain control within the front half-space.

[0004] With the increasing complexity of the current communication environment, modern communication systems have an increasingly strong demand for array antennas with multi-band, multi-functional, low-cost, and high-stability characteristics. Based on this, the present invention proposes a triple-band coplanar array antenna with integrated transmission, reflection, and scattering functions, which uses a coplanar structure to integrate the functions of transmission, reflection, and scattering, and has the advantages of multi-function, high integration level, high stability, simple and reliable system, and low cost, and is expected to be widely used in modern communication systems.
