[0028] Intermodulation distortion (IM) is a common signal distortion phenomenon in high-power wireless communication systems, primarily caused by nonlinear effects within the system. This problem has long been a major challenge in high-power antenna design. With the advancement of wireless communication technology, effectively increasing channel capacity has become a hot topic of research.

[0029] Currently, existing research on antenna arrays primarily focuses on the measurement and control of conductive intermodulation (IM) products, with numerous methods for achieving controllable IM products through circuit design. For example, patent publication number CN118158039A discloses an antenna structure and method for reducing passive intermodulation (PIM) effects. The structure comprises a helical wire, a multi-hole flange, and a disc-shaped metal ground plane, using back-coaxial feeding. Key technologies include increasing the contact between the flange and the ground plane, increasing the helical wire radius, and adding flange vias. By combining these three techniques, the current density flowing through the helical wire is reduced, while the loop current density between the flange and the metal ground plane is reduced, thereby reducing the PIM (Passive Intermodulation) radiation level of the entire helical antenna. This invention has a wide range of applications, optimizes the antenna structure, and possesses a certain degree of innovation. For another example, patent publication number CN106053534A discloses a broadband, non-contact, passive intermodulation (PIM) test device for coatings based on a transmission line structure. The device comprises a microstrip transmission line, a first low-frequency coaxial connector, a second low-frequency coaxial connector, and a PIM tester. During operation, the microstrip transmission line serves as a carrier for a coated metal motherboard to be tested, which is placed in a dielectric layer. The electromagnetic field generated by the upper conductor excites the coated metal motherboard in the dielectric layer using a non-contact electromagnetic field perturbation method, causing the generated PIM signal to be transmitted to the PIM tester. Numerous studies have been conducted on such conductive IM measurement devices. While conventional circuit structures for implementing controllable IM products can achieve nonlinear spectrum spread, their complex structures lead to high costs, and the channel capacity of wireless communication systems still needs to be improved. In particular, research on how to utilize radiative IM products for communication remains largely unexplored, limiting the potential application of IM in wireless communication systems.

[0030] Based on the above technical issues, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a controllable radiating intermodulation and mutual interference product generating microstrip antenna array, which may include a power divider 30, a plurality of patch antennas 10 and an intermodulation signal generating module 20; the power divider 30 is used to access the radio frequency signal and perform power distribution; the input end of each patch antenna 10 is connected to an output end of the power divider 30, and each patch antenna 10 is correspondingly provided with an intermodulation signal generating module 20, the output end of each intermodulation signal generating module 20 is connected to the input end of the corresponding patch antenna 10, the intermodulation signal generating module 20 is used to receive the output signal of the power divider 30 and generate an intermodulation signal after receiving the excitation signal, and the patch antenna 10 is used to receive the output signal of the power divider 30 and radiate the intermodulation signal output by the corresponding intermodulation signal generating module 20.

[0031] Specifically, the patch antenna 10 can be set to a 1×4 microstrip patch antenna 10 array, that is, an array composed of four microstrip patch antennas 10. Correspondingly, the power divider 30 selects a power divider 30 with four output ports, and each output port of the power divider 30 is connected to the input end of a microstrip patch antenna 10; similarly, each microstrip patch antenna 10 is correspondingly provided with an intermodulation signal generating module 20, and the output end of each intermodulation signal generating module 20 is connected to the input end of the corresponding microstrip patch antenna 10, and the input end of the intermodulation signal generating module 20 is connected to the excitation signal.

[0032] Of course, several patch antennas 10 can also form a ring antenna array or a dipole antenna array to achieve nonlinear beam control, which is not limited here.

[0033] In a specific application, the controlled radiation intermodulation and mutual interference product generating microstrip antenna array (also known as frequency generation array, FGA, Frequency Generation Array) receives the output signal of the output end of the power divider 30 and generates an intermodulation signal after the intermodulation signal generating module 20 is connected to the excitation signal. At the same time, the microstrip patch antenna 10 receives the output signal of the output end of the power divider 30 and radiates the corresponding intermodulation signal generated by the intermodulation signal generating module 20.

[0034] In this embodiment, each microstrip patch antenna 10 is provided with an intermodulation signal generation module 20, so that overall intermodulation beam control can be achieved between each microstrip patch antenna 10 and the corresponding intermodulation signal generation module 20. The new harmonic frequencies generated by the intermodulation phenomenon are used to achieve nonlinear spectrum expansion, effectively improving the channel capacity of the wireless communication system. In addition, the direction of the nonlinear beam generated by the intermodulation interference is precisely controlled without interfering with the generation of the linear beam, thereby optimizing the performance of the wireless communication system. It also provides a new perspective for the standardized testing of intermodulation interference and the optimization of nonlinear spectrum. The circuit structure of the controllable radiation type intermodulation interference product generation microstrip antenna array is simple, reducing production costs. In addition, the new harmonic frequencies generated by the intermodulation phenomenon are used to achieve nonlinear spectrum expansion, effectively improving the channel capacity of the wireless communication system. Each patch antenna is correspondingly connected to the output port of a power divider and the intermodulation signal generation module, so that the direction of the nonlinear beam generated by the intermodulation interference is precisely controlled without interfering with the generation of the linear beam, thereby optimizing the performance of the wireless communication system. Of course, it also provides a new perspective for the standardized testing of intermodulation interference and the optimization of nonlinear spectrum.

[0035] In some embodiments, the number of output ports of the power divider 30 is equal to the number of patch antennas 10 .

[0036] Specifically, the number of output ports of the power divider 30 is equal to the number of patch antennas 10, that is, each output port of the power divider 30 can be connected to the input end of a patch antenna 10, wherein the power divider 30 can be set to an equally divided power divider 30.

[0037] In one embodiment, the equal power splitter 30 may be a Wilkinson equal power splitter 30 .

[0038] In some embodiments, the intermodulation signal generating module 20 is a third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit. Each patch antenna 10 is provided with a corresponding third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit, and the output end of the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit is connected to the power divider 30 and the input end of the corresponding patch antenna 10.

[0039] Specifically, the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit is any circuit capable of generating a third-order intermodulation signal. For example, after determining a third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit, different types of diodes or circuit topologies can be used based on the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit to optimize performance or adapt to different operating frequencies. Therefore, the specific circuit structure of the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit is not limited herein. The third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit is a relatively common circuit structure. Therefore, configuring the intermodulation signal generating module 20 as a third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit can reduce costs.

[0040] Furthermore, the excitation signal is a DC bias voltage signal.

[0041] Specifically, the controllable radiation type intermodulation interference product generating microstrip antenna array also includes a DC bias voltage output module, which is connected to the intermodulation signal generating module 20. The DC bias voltage output module outputs a DC bias voltage signal to the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit, so that the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit generates a third-order intermodulation signal, wherein the third-order intermodulation signal serves as the input source of the patch antenna 10, and the patch antenna 10 radiates the third-order intermodulation signal.

[0042] Among them, the amplitude and phase of the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit can be adjusted by controlling the amplitude and phase of the DC bias voltage signal output by the circuit that generates the DC bias voltage signal, so as to achieve precise control of the nonlinear beam radiation direction at the frequency of the third-order intermodulation signal, and within a specific voltage range, the beam angle of the third-order intermodulation signal can be adjusted independently. At the same time, the 10-frequency beam of the patch antenna is not affected by the nonlinear beam tuning, so that the controllable radiation type intermodulation interference product generating microstrip antenna array remains stable during the entire tuning process.

[0043] In this embodiment, the DC bias voltage output module can be any DC bias voltage output circuit that can achieve the above functions, and no further limitations are given here.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the third-order intermodulation signal generating circuit is a circuit structure having a Schottky diode, such as Figure 2 As shown, when verifying the controlled radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product generation microstrip antenna array, the third-order intermodulation signal generation circuit simulation is performed by Advanced Design System (ADS, electronic design automation) software to obtain the amplitude and phase data of the third-order intermodulation signal generated by the Schottky diode under different DC bias voltage signals; further, the amplitude and phase data of the third-order intermodulation signal obtained by the ADS software are input to the input end of the patch antenna 10 of the controlled radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product generation microstrip antenna array simulated by HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator, radio frequency simulation software); ADS software is used to construct a PCB (printed circuit board, Printed Circuit Board) prototype and manufacture a physical controlled radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product generation microstrip antenna array; finally, performance verification is performed.

[0045] When performing performance verification, the verification includes a transmitting end and a receiving end. The transmitting end includes two signal generators, a synthesizer, a DC power supply, and a controllable radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product generating microstrip antenna array. The two signal transmitters are connected to the input end of the synthesizer, and the output end of the synthesizer is connected to the input end of the power divider 30. The AC signal generating module in the controllable radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product generating microstrip antenna array is connected to the DC power supply. The DC power supply outputs a DC bias voltage signal to the intermodulation signal generating module 20, wherein each intermodulation signal generating module 20 is correspondingly provided with a DC power supply. The consistency between the theoretical result and the measurement result is verified by measuring the far-field radiation pattern of the controllable radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product generating microstrip antenna array; the receiving end is a receiving antenna.

[0046] In this embodiment, one signal generator generates a signal with a frequency of 2620 MHz, and another signal generator generates a signal with a frequency of 2676 MHz, which are synthesized by a synthesizer into a signal containing frequencies of 2620 MHz and 2676 MHz. The combined signal is output to a controllable radiating intermodulation product generating microstrip antenna array, and the controllable radiating intermodulation product generating microstrip antenna array radiates a third-order intermodulation signal with a frequency of 2564 MHz.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a design method for the controllable radiation type intermodulation interference product generation microstrip antenna array as described above, the design method comprising the following steps:

[0048] S100, determining the number of patch antennas, and determining a power divider according to the number of patch antennas, wherein a plurality of patch antennas are provided, and an input end of each patch antenna is connected to an output end of the power divider;

[0049] S200 , setting an intermodulation signal generation module according to the number of patch antennas, wherein one intermodulation signal generation module is correspondingly set for each patch antenna, and an output end of the intermodulation signal generation module is connected to an input end of the corresponding patch antenna.

[0050] Specifically, the input of each patch antenna is connected to the output port of the power divider and to an intermodulation signal generation module. The patch antenna can be configured as a 1×4 microstrip patch antenna array, i.e., an array consisting of four microstrip patch antennas. Accordingly, the power divider is a power divider with four output ports, each of which is connected to the input of a microstrip patch antenna. Similarly, each microstrip patch antenna is configured with an intermodulation signal generation module, with the output of each intermodulation signal generation module connected to the input of its corresponding microstrip patch antenna, and the input of the intermodulation signal generation module is connected to the excitation signal.

[0051] In a specific application of the controlled radiation intermodulation and mutual interference product generating microstrip antenna array, after the intermodulation signal generating module is connected to the excitation signal, the intermodulation signal generating module receives the output signal of the output end of the power divider and generates an intermodulation signal. At the same time, the microstrip patch antenna receives the output signal of the output end of the power divider and radiates the intermodulation signal generated by the corresponding intermodulation signal generating module.

[0052] In this embodiment, an intermodulation signal generating module is correspondingly provided for each microstrip patch antenna, and each microstrip patch antenna is correspondingly connected to the output port of a power divider. The circuit structure of the controllable radiation-type intermodulation interference product generating microstrip antenna array designed by this design method is simple, which reduces the production cost. In addition, the new harmonic frequency generated by the intermodulation phenomenon is utilized to realize nonlinear spectrum spreading, effectively improving the channel capacity of the wireless communication system. Each patch antenna is correspondingly connected to the output port of a power divider and the intermodulation signal generating module, so that the direction of the nonlinear beam generated by the intermodulation interference is accurately controlled without interfering with the generation of the linear beam, thereby optimizing the performance of the wireless communication system. Of course, it also provides a new perspective for the standardized testing of intermodulation interference and the optimization of the nonlinear spectrum.

[0053] In some embodiments, the number of output ports of the power divider is equal to the number of patch antennas.

Each patch antenna is provided with a corresponding third-order intermodulation signal generation circuit, and the output of the third-order intermodulation signal generation circuit is connected to the power divider and the input of the corresponding patch antenna. The specific embodiment of the controllable radiating intermodulation interference product generation microstrip antenna array is described above and will not be repeated here.

[0056] It should be noted that the description of the embodiment of the design method for a controllable radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product-generating microstrip antenna array is similar to the description of the embodiment of the controllable radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product-generating microstrip antenna array described above, and has similar beneficial effects as the above-mentioned controllable radiation type intermodulation and mutual interference product-generating microstrip antenna array.
