Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to a millimeter-wave wide-beam measurement and control antenna. Background Art

[0002] Millimeter-wave wide-beam antennas are playing an increasingly critical role in modern communications, aerospace measurement and control, and tactical systems. They not only transmit information but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of target perception and positioning. Especially in dynamic environments, antennas must rapidly cover multiple directions and acquire stable signals. Traditional single-directional and single-point measurement and control methods are clearly no longer adequate for these increasingly complex scenarios.

[0003] Some existing millimeter-wave tracking and control antennas already achieve high beam gain and signal stability. They exhibit minimal signal attenuation and excellent directional retention over medium and long distances. Some also feature compact designs, making them easy to carry and deploy. Most mainstream products on the market utilize directional control, providing precise coverage of the main beam area and suitable for continuous observation missions in fixed scenarios. Some high-frequency products, under specific conditions, also offer excellent bandwidth characteristics and power output performance.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned antennas have strong stability and direction-keeping capabilities in fixed beam control, they still have significant shortcomings in the flexibility of angle adjustment, making it difficult to meet the current multi-scenario, high-dynamic usage requirements. After the structural setting is completed, the direction of many existing devices is basically fixed, making it difficult to make secondary rapid adjustments. Once manual and mechanical adjustments are attempted, the rigidity limitations of the adjustment mechanism can easily cause the beam pointing to deviate, causing system signal capture misalignment and positioning errors, thereby affecting the overall measurement and control accuracy. Especially in combat deployment and rapid search scenarios where frequent changes in antenna direction are required, this type of structure appears to be inadequate. Summary of the Invention

All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example: Please see the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3An embodiment of the present invention provides a millimeter-wave wide-beam measurement and control antenna, including an antenna controller 2, a connecting wire 5 fixedly connected to the top of the antenna controller 2, an antenna 4 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting wire 5 away from the antenna controller 2, a connecting block 13 fixedly connected to the outside of the antenna 4, a rotating rod 12 fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting block 13, a turbine 11 and an adjustment block 10 fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating rod 12, a worm 9 rotatably connected to the middle of the adjustment block 10, the worm 9 and the turbine 11 engage with each other, a support block 6 fixedly connected to the top of the antenna controller 2, the worm 9 rotatably connected to the middle of the support block 6, a drive assembly is provided on the top of the antenna controller 2, and the drive assembly is used to drive the worm 9 and the adjustment block 10 to rotate.

[0022] The connecting line 5 can conveniently connect the antenna controller 2 and the antenna 4. When the worm 9 rotates, it can conveniently drive the turbine 11 to engage and rotate at the same time. When the turbine 11 rotates, it can conveniently drive the connecting block 13 to flip through the rotating rod 12, so as to conveniently drive the antenna 4 to move horizontally. When the adjustment block 10 flips, it can conveniently drive the connecting block 13 to flip vertically through the rotating rod 12, and then conveniently drive the antenna 4 to adjust at multiple angles, so that the antenna can be adjusted according to actual conditions, while reducing the labor intensity of the staff.

[0023] Please see the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 The driving assembly includes a fixing ring 7, which is fixedly connected to the top of the antenna controller 2. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing ring 7. Two motors 8 are provided. One end of the worm 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of one of the motors 8, and one side of the adjustment block 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the other motor 8.

[0024] The fixing ring 7 can conveniently support and fix the two motors 8, thereby making the two motors 8 more stable. When one of the motors 8 is working, it can conveniently drive the worm 9 to rotate, and when the other motor 8 is rotating, it can conveniently drive the adjustment block 10 to flip.

[0025] Please see the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The bottom of the antenna controller 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1, and the middle of the mounting base 1 is slidably connected to a clamping block 15. One side of the clamping block 15 is rotatably connected to a moving rod 19, and the end of the moving rod 19 away from the clamping block 15 is rotatably connected to a movable rod 18. A power component is provided inside the mounting base 1, which is used to drive the movable rod 18 to rotate.

[0027] Please see the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The power assembly includes an electric motor 14 , which is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting base 1 . The output end of the electric motor 14 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 17 , and a movable rod 18 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the connecting rod 17 .

[0028] The mounting base 1 can conveniently support and fix the motor 14, thereby making the motor 14 more stable. When the motor 14 is working, it can conveniently drive the connecting rod 17 to rotate, and when the connecting rod 17 rotates, it can conveniently drive the movable rod 18 to rotate at the same time.

[0029] Please see the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 A limiting groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 1, and the clamping block 15 is slidably connected to the middle of the limiting groove 16. The limiting groove 16 is used to limit the clamping block 15, and a plurality of anti-slip strips 20 are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block 15.

[0030] The limiting groove 16 can easily limit the clamping block 15, thereby preventing the clamping block 15 from deviating during movement; the anti-slip strip 20 can prevent the antenna 4 from sliding after being fixed, thereby making the antenna 4 more stable.

[0031] Please see the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 6 The antenna controller 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the regulator 3, and the antenna controller 2 and the regulator 3 are both connected to the regulation system via telecommunications; the monitoring system includes: The signal detection module is used to monitor the strength, direction, and frequency response of the signals transmitted and received by antenna 4 in real time, providing basic data support for subsequent beam control and performance evaluation; The bandwidth control module is connected to the signal detection module signal and is used to adaptively adjust the operating frequency band according to basic data and external control instructions to achieve seamless switching of multiple frequency bands within the range of 25-28GHz; A thermal stability monitoring module is connected to the bandwidth control module and is used to sense the thermal drift of the antenna 4 during high-frequency operation and dynamically correct the control parameters; The structural state perception module is connected to the thermal stability monitoring module to monitor the attitude changes and mechanical wear of the rotating parts of antenna 4 to support the structural health assessment of the system; The data feedback and diagnosis module is used to comprehensively process data from the signal detection, bandwidth control, thermal stability monitoring and structural status perception modules, output diagnostic reports and feed them back to the regulation system to form a closed-loop control mechanism.

[0032] The signal detection module is located in the main radiation path of antenna 4 and includes a signal acquisition unit and a signal analysis unit. The signal acquisition unit uses a high-sensitivity RF probe or an integrated receiving chip to collect parameters such as the power, level, and spectrum distribution of the antenna's transmitted and received signals in real time. The bandwidth control module communicates bidirectionally with the signal detection module. Based on the data output by the signal detection module, such as the current frequency band utilization and signal echo strength, it adjusts the operating frequency band of the antenna 4 feed network in real time by adjusting the local programmable filter bank or switched capacitor array. The module supports dynamic switching of multiple frequency bands within the range of 25–28 GHz, ensuring bandwidth adaptability for different communication or measurement and control tasks, while also optimizing the return loss characteristics of antenna 4. The thermal stability monitoring module, located near antenna 4, collects real-time temperature data from an embedded temperature sensor and thermistor. Based on the material's thermal expansion and contraction patterns and historical operating data, it determines thermal drift under high-frequency excitation and coordinates with the control system to compensate for frequency deviation or beam offset, ensuring stable radiation characteristics across varying temperature ranges. The structural status sensing module integrates components such as a gyroscope, an angle encoder, and a micro accelerometer, and is located at the connection area between antenna 4 and regulator 3. This module can monitor the rotational posture changes of antenna 4 in pitch, azimuth, and other directions in real time, and identify structural anomalies such as loose components, wear, and eccentricity caused by frequent rotation or external impact, providing raw data for subsequent maintenance and system health assessment. The Data Feedback and Diagnosis Module, serving as the system's core processing center, is electrically connected to all four modules. It incorporates a multi-threaded data fusion algorithm and state recognition model, comprehensively processing data uploaded by each module to form a complete picture of the system's operating status. If an anomaly is detected, such as excessive thermal offset, beam skew, or frequency band drift, the system proactively generates a fault diagnosis report and, through the regulatory system, issues control commands to drive actuators to perform beam correction, frequency band reset, or thermal balancing, achieving closed-loop control.

[0033] Please see the attached Figure 6 , the signal detection module includes: A signal acquisition unit is used to acquire electromagnetic wave signals transmitted and received by antenna 4 and perform preliminary frequency, intensity and directionality data acquisition; The signal processing unit is connected to the signal acquisition unit and is responsible for digital processing and analysis of the collected signals to extract useful signal quality and beam coverage angle; The signal analysis unit is connected to the signal processing unit and is used to further analyze the frequency response and directivity of the signal and determine the working state and performance of the antenna 4.

[0034] Please see the attached Figure 6 , the bandwidth control module includes: The frequency band selection unit is connected to the signal detection module and is used to select a suitable operating frequency band according to the detected signal frequency and bandwidth requirements; The bandwidth adjustment unit is connected to the frequency band selection unit and the adjustment system. It is responsible for dynamically adjusting the operating frequency band according to external control instructions and signal conditions to achieve adaptive switching within the range of 25-28GHz. The bandwidth monitoring unit is connected to the bandwidth adjustment unit to continuously monitor the bandwidth performance of the antenna to ensure that the frequency response operates stably within the target range.

[0035] Working principle: When the antenna 4 needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions, the two motors 8 will work simultaneously. When one of the motors 8 is working, it will drive the worm 9 to rotate, and when the worm 9 rotates, it will drive the turbine 11 to engage and rotate. When the turbine 11 rotates, it will drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate. When the rotating rod 12 rotates, it will drive the connecting block 13 to flip horizontally. When the connecting block 13 flips, it can easily drive the antenna 4 to flip horizontally at the same time. When the other motor 8 rotates, it drives the adjustment block 10 to flip vertically. When the adjustment block 10 flips, it drives the connecting block 13 to flip vertically at the same time through the rotating rod 12. The vertical flipping of the connecting block 13 can drive the antenna 4 to flip vertically at the same time, thereby allowing the antenna 4 to be adjusted at multiple angles.

[0036] When the antenna 4 needs to be connected and fixed, the motor 14 will work. When the motor 14 works, it will drive the connecting rod 17 to rotate, and when the connecting rod 17 rotates, it will drive the movable rod 18 to rotate at the same time. When the movable rod 18 rotates, it will pull the two movable rods 19 to move at the same time. When the movable rod 19 moves, it will pull the clamping block 15 to move, and when the clamping block 15 moves, it will drive multiple anti-slip strips 20 to move at the same time, so that the position that needs to be fixed can be clamped and fixed conveniently, and then the antenna 4 can be connected and fixed.

[0037] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
