Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of leaky cables, in particular to a wide and high frequency radiation leaky cable. Background Art

[0002] Leaky coaxial cables, which combine transmission line and antenna functions and offer excellent field coverage, have been widely used in wireless communication systems in tunnel environments, such as rail transit. With the development of 5G communication technology, the communication frequency band is expanding to higher frequencies.

[0003] However, the widely used 13 / 8" leaky coaxial cable, with a cutoff frequency generally limited to 2.8 GHz, is no longer able to meet the requirements for supporting high-frequency bands such as 3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz. This is due to the following main problems: First, the traditional periodic slot structure limits the effective radiation of high-frequency signals, resulting in significant signal attenuation in frequency bands above 2.8 GHz. Second, this frequency limitation prevents it from directly supporting the core 3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz bands of operators' 5G NR. Compatibility requires the deployment of additional distributed antenna systems, increasing construction costs and system complexity. Third, the single slot structure (such as the figure-eight slot) used in existing leaky cables is prone to resonance at high frequencies, resulting in an increase in the standing wave ratio (SWR), which seriously affects system transmission performance. Fourth, the periodic slot arrangement also causes distortion in the high-frequency radiation pattern, resulting in uneven wireless coverage in tunnels. Summary of the Invention

In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 3 A wide-band high-frequency radiation leaky cable, as shown in a preferred embodiment of the present application, comprises an inner conductor 1, an insulating layer 2, an outer conductor 3, and a sheath 4. The insulating layer 2 is disposed outside the inner conductor 1 and is formed by a blend of physically foamed polyethylene and a fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer. The foaming degree of the insulating layer 2 gradually increases from the inner conductor 1 to the outer conductor 3. The outer conductor 3 is disposed outside the insulating layer 2 and is provided with a plurality of large slot groups 5. The plurality of large slot groups 5 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer conductor 3. Each large slot group 5 includes a fission splayed slot group 51, a straight slot group 52, and a circular slot 53. The fission splayed slot group 51 includes a plurality of splayed slot rows 511 spaced apart along the axis of the outer conductor 3. Each splayed slot row 511 includes at least two splayed slots 512 whose axes coincide with each other. The axes of each splayed slot row 511 are arranged at different angles to the axis of the outer conductor 3. The slot group 52 comprises at least two slot rows 521 spaced apart along the axis of the outer conductor 3. Each slot row 521 includes at least one long slot 522 and at least one short slot 523, whose axes coincide. The order of the long slots 522 and short slots 523 in two adjacent slot rows 521 differs. A circular slot 53 is provided between the fission splayed slot group 51 and the slot group 52. The jacket 4 is disposed over the outer conductor 3.

[0037] According to the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, by combining the vertical polarization fission eight-shaped grooves, the horizontal polarization straight grooves and the omnidirectional polarization circular slots 53 on the outer conductor 3, a multi-polarization composite periodic slot structure is constructed, which significantly enhances the radiation capability and directionality control of the leaky cable, and realizes efficient radiation in high frequency bands (such as 3.5GHz and 4.9GHz), meeting the communication requirements of 5G NR. Through the design of slots with irregular angles and asymmetrical arrangements, the slot type has subwavelength characteristics, effectively improving the high-frequency radiation efficiency and suppressing TE mode conversion. At the same time, the overall structure approaches the waveguide mode, and the TE / TM mode synergistic radiation is used to reduce conductor loss. In terms of the insulating layer 2, FPPE and FEP blended materials are used and a non-uniform foaming structure is set to optimize the dielectric constant distribution. While ensuring mechanical strength, the excitation of high-order modes is suppressed, and low-loss single-mode high-efficiency transmission is achieved in the full frequency range of 5MHz to 5GHz.

[0038] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, the splayed slot row 511 includes two splayed slots 512. The included angle between the axis of the splayed slot row 511 and the axis of the outer conductor 3 is ±15°-±25°. The gap between the two splayed slots 512 in the same splayed slot row 511 is 2mm-4mm. The center of the splayed slot row 511 is coplanar with the axis of the outer conductor 3. The spacing between the centers of two adjacent splayed slot rows 511 is P / 12 (P is one period of the slot group 5). The length of the splayed slots 512 is 10mm-14mm, and the width of the splayed slots 512 is 3mm-4mm. The fission splayed slot group 51 has a dominant radiation frequency of 3.5GHz. By optimizing the slot structure to improve the uniformity of the longitudinal electric field, break the periodic resonance condition, block the conduction path of the harmonic current, meet the subwavelength radiation requirements, and thus achieve efficient and stable electromagnetic radiation performance.

[0039] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, the inline slot row 521 includes a long inline slot hole 522 and a short inline slot hole 523. The axis of the inline slot row 521 is perpendicular to the axis of the outer conductor 3. The gap between the long inline slot hole 522 and the short inline slot hole 523 of the same inline slot row 521 is 2mm-4mm. The center of the inline slot row 521 and the axis of the outer conductor 3 are located on the same plane. The interval between the centers of two adjacent inline slot rows 511 is P / 10. The length of the short inline slot hole 523 is 4mm-8mm, the length of the long inline slot hole 522 is 12mm-16mm, and the width of the long inline slot hole 522 and the short inline slot hole 523 are both 3mm-4mm. The slot group 52 enhances the radiation capability in the 4.9 GHz frequency band and destroys the current continuity in the slot structure, converting part of the energy into TM mode for effective radiation, thereby suppressing the formation of TM mode surface waves and reducing conductor losses. At the same time, the structural design effectively increases the waveguide cutoff frequency, ensuring stable single-mode transmission in the high frequency band.

[0040] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, the center of the circular slot 53 is coplanar with the axis of the outer conductor 3. The spacing between the circular slot 53 and the fission splayed slot group 51 and the splayed slot group 52 is P / 8. The diameter of the circular slot 53 is 1.8 mm to 2.2 mm. The circular slot 53 fills the zero-point region of high-frequency current, effectively enhancing current continuity and thus reducing transmission loss.

[0041] See Figure 4 In another embodiment, the outer conductor 3 is provided with a plurality of special-shaped slots 6 spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer conductor 3. By providing the special-shaped slots 6 on the outer conductor 3 instead of the traditional U-shaped slot, while inheriting the advantages of the U-shaped slot in multi-band compatibility, harmonic suppression capability, and radiation directionality control, the radiation capability of specific high-frequency signals is enhanced, the signal interference that may be generated between different frequency bands is effectively suppressed, and the spectrum utilization efficiency of the system is improved, thereby ensuring the stable coexistence and efficient collaborative transmission of multi-band signals in a complex electromagnetic environment.

[0042] Specifically, see Figure 4 The two adjacent special-shaped slots 6 are mirror-imaged. A single special-shaped slot 6 includes a first sub-slot 61 and a second sub-slot 62 that are arranged parallel to the axial direction of the outer conductor 3 and are connected to each other. The first sub-slot 61 and the second sub-slot 62 are staggered in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer conductor 3. The edges of the two ends of the special-shaped slot 6 are correspondingly provided with chamfered corners 63 and micro-groove arrays. The connecting corners of the first sub-slot 61 and the second sub-slot 62 are correspondingly provided with chamfered corners 63. Open annular grooves 64 are correspondingly opened at both ends of the special-shaped slot 6. The center of the irregular slot 6 is coplanar with the axis of the outer conductor 3. The spacing between adjacent irregular slots 6 is P / 8. The length of the first and second slots 61, 62 is 20mm-25mm, and the width of the first and second slots 61, 62 is 8mm-10mm. The radius of the chamfered corner 63 is 0.5mm-1mm. The open annular groove 64 is semicircular with a diameter of 5mm-7mm. The length of the corner connecting the first and second slots 61, 62 is 4mm-6mm. The chamfered corner 63 effectively reduces edge diffraction loss in the frequency band after the cutoff frequency, enhancing millimeter-wave compatibility. Subwavelength microgrooves are etched in the main radiating section of the irregular slot 6 to form a 3.5GHz-5GHz passband, achieving multi-band filtering. The open annular grooves 64 at each end of the irregular slot 6 suppress high-frequency clutter radiation, improving the signal's spectral purity and transmission stability.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the mixing ratio of physically foamed polyethylene and fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer in the insulating layer 2 is 70-90:10-30. The ratio of the inner diameter of the outer conductor 3 to the outer diameter of the inner conductor 1 is 3.08-3.12. It should be noted that the insulating layer 2 of the conventional 13 / 8" leaky cable adopts physically foamed polyethylene (FPPE) material, with an equivalent dielectric constant ε of 1.248±0.015 and a foaming degree distribution of 80% uniform distribution. In one embodiment, the insulating layer 2 of the present application is made of physically foamed polyethylene (FPPE) and fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP), and the mixing ratio is 17:3, the equivalent dielectric constant ε is 1.248±0.005, and the foaming degree distribution is a gradient distribution, which is 78%-82% from the inner conductor 1 to the outer conductor 3.

[0044] According to electromagnetic field theory, the cutoff frequency f of the leaky cable and the structural dimensions satisfy the following formula:

[0045]

[0046] Where c is the speed of light, D is the inner diameter of the outer conductor, d is the outer diameter of the inner conductor, and ε is the equivalent dielectric constant.

[0047] Conventional leaky cables are prone to severe TE / TM high-order mode interference in frequency bands above 2.8 GHz, resulting in a radiation efficiency drop of over 30%. To meet the requirements for low-loss transmission across the entire 5 MHz–5 GHz frequency band, this application, on the one hand, limits the ratio of the inner diameter D of the outer conductor 3 to the outer diameter d of the inner conductor 1. On the other hand, controlling the equivalent dielectric constant of the insulating layer 2 effectively suppresses high-order mode excitation, ensuring stable single-mode transmission within the 5 GHz frequency band, thereby achieving low-loss and high-efficiency transmission performance across the entire frequency band.

[0048] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the above embodiment, the wide-band high-frequency radiation leaky cable further includes a flame-retardant layer 7 and at least one of the wrapping layers disposed between the outer conductor 3 and the sheath 4 to enhance the flame retardancy or other functions of the leaky cable. In one embodiment, the flame-retardant layer 7 is disposed between the outer conductor 3 and the sheath 4 of the leaky cable.

[0049] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the thickness of the jacket 4 is 1.9±0.2mm, the thickness of the flame-retardant layer 7 / wrapping layer is 0.13±0.01mm, the thickness of the outer conductor 3 is 0.065mm-0.09mm, the thickness of the inner conductor 1 is 0.2mm-0.45mm, and the thickness of the insulation layer 2 is 12.4±0.3mm. The jacket 4 is made of materials such as halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant polyolefin or low-density linear polyolefin. The flame-retardant layer 7 / wrapping layer is wrapped with mica tape, non-woven fabric, or other suitable tape. The outer conductor 3 is longitudinally wrapped with embossed copper tape. The insulation layer 2 is composed of FPPE and FEP. The inner conductor 1 is a spiral copper tube or a smooth copper tube.

[0050] In order to illustrate the various performance effects of the embodiments of the present invention, the following specific embodiments are described in detail:

[0051] Example 1:

[0052] See Figures 1 to 3 The wide-band high-frequency radiation leaky cable of this embodiment comprises an inner conductor 1, an insulating layer 2, an outer conductor 3 and a sheath 4. The insulating layer 2 is formed by blending physically foamed polyethylene and fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer.

[0053] The outer conductor 3 is provided with a plurality of slot groups 5, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the outer conductor 3. Each slot group 5 includes a fission splayed slot group 51, a straight slot group 52, and a circular slot 53. The fission splayed slot group 51 includes four splayed slot rows 511 spaced apart along the axis of the outer conductor 3. Each splayed slot row 511 includes two splayed slots 512 whose axes coincide. Figure 3 From left to right, the angles between the axis of each splayed slot row 511 and the axis of the outer conductor 3 are 15°, 22°, 22°, and 15°, respectively. The gap between two splayed slot holes 512 in the same splayed slot row 511 is 3 mm. The center of the splayed slot row 511 and the axis of the outer conductor 3 are coplanar. The spacing between the centers of two adjacent splayed slot rows 511 is P / 12. The length of the splayed slot hole 512 is 12 mm, and the width of the splayed slot hole 512 is 3 mm.

[0054] The slot group 52 comprises two slot rows 521 spaced apart along the axis of the outer conductor 3. Each slot row 521 includes a long slotted hole 522 and a short slotted hole 523. The long slotted holes 522 and short slotted holes 523 of the two slot rows 521 are arranged alternately. The axis of the slot rows 521 is perpendicular to the axis of the outer conductor 3. The gap between the long slotted holes 522 and the short slotted holes 523 in the same slot row 521 is 3 mm. The center of the slot row 521 is flush with the axis of the outer conductor 3. The spacing between the centers of adjacent splayed slot rows 511 is P / 10. The short slotted holes 523 are 6 mm long, the long slotted holes 522 are 14 mm long, and the width of each of the long slotted holes 522 and the short slotted holes 523 is 3 mm.

[0055] The circular slot 53 is disposed between the fission splayed groove group 51 and the straight groove group 52. The center of the circular slot 53 is coplanar with the axis of the outer conductor 3. The spacing between the circular slot 53 and the fission splayed groove group 51 and the straight groove group 52 is P / 8. The diameter of the circular slot 53 is 2 mm.

[0056] The performance of the composite slotted leaky cable of this embodiment was verified by HFSS2023R2 simulation and darkroom testing. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, the attenuation curve of the leaky cable is smooth overall, without obvious mutations, indicating that there is no cutoff frequency transition phenomenon; Figure 6 As shown, the standing wave ratio (VSWR) in the entire frequency band remains within 1.4, fully demonstrating the stability of single-mode transmission. In addition, the performance of the composite slot-type leaky cable of this embodiment is compared with that of the traditional single-slot-type leaky cable. It should be noted that the difference between the single-slot-type leaky cable used as a comparison and the composite slot-type leaky cable of this embodiment is only the slot type. In this embodiment, the slot type of the single-slot-type leaky cable is an eight-shaped slot. The specific comparison results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0057]

[0058] Result analysis: According to Table 1, compared with the traditional single-slot leaky cable, the radiation efficiency and field strength uniformity of the composite slot leaky cable in this embodiment are significantly improved, the transmission loss is reduced, the TE mode suppression ratio is higher, and the proportion of high-order modes is lower.

[0059] Example 2:

[0060] See Figure 4The difference between the leaky cable of this embodiment and the leaky cable of Example 1 is only the difference in the groove type on the outer conductor 3. The outer conductor 3 of the leaky cable of this embodiment is provided with four special-shaped slots 6 distributed along the axial direction of the outer conductor 3 in a period. Two adjacent special-shaped slots 6 are arranged in a mirror image. A single special-shaped slot 6 includes a first sub-slot 61 and a second sub-slot 62 arranged parallel to the axial direction of the outer conductor 3 and connected to each other. The first sub-slot 61 and the second sub-slot 62 are staggered in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer conductor 3.

[0061] HFSS2023R2 was used to simulate and model the special-shaped slot 6 structure proposed in this embodiment and to conduct sample testing and verification. Figure 7 As shown in Figure 2, it can be seen that the attenuation curve of the leaky cable is generally stable, and there is no sudden change in the cutoff frequency, indicating that the transmission characteristics are continuous and stable. Figure 8 As shown, the standing wave ratio (VSWR) does not exceed 1.4 in the entire frequency band, verifying the stability of single-mode transmission. The performance indicators of the traditional U-shaped slot leaky cable and the special-shaped slot hole 6 leaky cable of this embodiment are compared. It should be noted that the difference between the U-shaped slot leaky cable used as a comparison and the special-shaped slot hole 6 leaky cable of this embodiment is only the difference in the slot shape. Specific results are shown in Table 2 below:

[0062]

[0063] Result analysis: According to Table 2, compared with the traditional U-shaped slot leaky cable, the radiation efficiency of the leaky cable with the special-shaped slot 6 in this embodiment is significantly improved, the harmonic suppression ratio and spectrum efficiency are higher, and the directivity non-circularity is lower.
