Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of phased array antennas, and in particular relates to a low-sidelobe envelope wide-angle scanning common-aperture phased array antenna. Background Art

[0002] Multifunctional composite radar systems require the simultaneous deployment of multiple active phased array antennas operating in different frequency bands and polarization modes. However, with separate apertures, the simultaneous deployment of multiple antennas would occupy radar space, severely hindering radar miniaturization. To overcome electromagnetic interference and improve radar accuracy within the upper space, common-aperture phased array antennas are a well-suited candidate. They can effectively reduce the number of antennas and improve aperture utilization, thereby achieving an integrated multi-frequency and multi-polarization solution.

[0003] When existing co-aperture phased array antennas perform beam scanning, the coupling between antenna units in different frequency bands causes errors in the antenna radiation phase, resulting in abnormal side lobes during scanning. These side lobes cannot be suppressed through weighted shaping, and the radar's anti-interference capability cannot be improved.

[0053] The vertically polarized electric dipole includes a first vertically polarized electric dipole arm disposed on the front surface of a horizontally polarized dielectric substrate, and a second vertically polarized electric dipole arm disposed on the back surface. The first vertically polarized electric dipole arm and the second vertically polarized electric dipole arm have the same structure. Specifically, the vertically polarized electric dipole arm includes a first metal patch and a second metal patch that are mirror-symmetrical. The first metal patch and the second metal patch are mainly inverted "L"-shaped metal patches, wherein the lower half of the vertical branches are bent outward.

[0054] The vertically polarized bottom metal patch covers the lower part of the front and back sides of the vertically polarized dielectric substrate, is connected to the vertically polarized electric dipole on the upper side, and is connected to the metal floor on the lower side.

The input of the vertically polarized stripline-fed balun is located at the bottom of the vertically polarized antenna unit, and a through-hole is provided on the metal floor corresponding to the input to facilitate connection with the feed structure. The line width of the vertically polarized stripline-fed balun decreases in a stepwise manner from the input to the open-circuit end, increasing at the end.

Therefore, a decoupling unit is introduced into the antenna, and a decoupling metal patch structure is specially designed to effectively suppress the coupling between the high-frequency horizontally polarized antenna and the low-frequency vertically polarized antenna. At the same time, the phase center of the vertically polarized antenna unit is located at the midpoint of the phase centers of two adjacent horizontally polarized units along the Y-axis. No vertically polarized antenna unit is set between the other group of horizontally polarized antenna units, breaking the local symmetry of the antenna structure to optimize the scanning sidelobe performance.

[0062] In the horizontal polarization antenna unit and the vertical polarization antenna unit, a symmetrical electric dipole antenna structure is adopted, and a broadband stripline feeding balun is used to realize differential balanced feeding of the electric dipole antenna unit. In the decoupling unit, the present invention adopts a main body of " The shaped metal patch decoupling structure reduces the equivalent dielectric constant of the decoupling unit dielectric substrate, optimizes the radiation phase error, and thus optimizes the scanning sidelobe performance.

[0063] The dual-frequency low sidelobe wide angle common aperture phased array antenna in this embodiment is simulated and tested.
