Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of circularly polarized antenna technology, and more particularly to a circularly polarized complementary antenna for low-Earth orbit satellite communication. Background Technology
[0002] During low-Earth orbit satellite communication, the relative positions of the satellite and the antenna will change, so the communication system must also have the function of "tracking the satellite", that is, the radiation beam changes with the position of the satellite.
[0003] In existing satellite communication technologies, phased arrays are often used for beamforming to enable the radiated beam to track satellites. However, since the overall performance of a phased array depends on the coordinated operation of numerous antenna elements, when in low elevation angle applications, the antenna elements are prone to problems such as excessive axial ratio and insufficient gain, leading to a significant performance decline and making it difficult to ensure the stability and efficiency of satellite communication. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a circularly polarized complementary antenna for low-Earth orbit satellite communication, which can not only extend the operating bandwidth of the antenna, but also maintain a low axial ratio under low elevation angle conditions, thereby improving the stability and reliability of low-Earth orbit satellite communication.
[0005] This invention provides a circularly polarized complementary antenna for low-Earth orbit satellite communication, comprising a first PCB board, a second PCB board, and a third PCB board stacked sequentially from top to bottom.

For example, the term "connection" can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows for mutual communication; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.
[0030] It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] During low-Earth orbit satellite communication, the relative positions of the satellite and the antenna will change, so the communication system must also have the function of "tracking the satellite", that is, the radiation beam changes with the position of the satellite.
[0032] In existing satellite communication technologies, phased arrays are often used for beamforming to enable the radiated beam to track satellites. However, since the overall performance of a phased array depends on the coordinated operation of numerous antenna elements, when in low elevation angle applications, the antenna elements are prone to problems such as excessive axial ratio and insufficient gain, leading to a significant performance decline and making it difficult to ensure the stability and efficiency of satellite communication.
[0033] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a circularly polarized complementary antenna for low-Earth orbit satellite communication, which not only expands the antenna's operating bandwidth but also maintains a low axial ratio under low elevation angle conditions, thereby improving the stability and reliability of low-Earth orbit satellite communication.
[0034] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The circularly polarized complementary antenna for low-Earth orbit satellite communication according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first PCB board 100, a second PCB board 200, and a third PCB board 300 stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The upper surface of the first PCB board 100 is provided with a plurality of triangular patches 110, which are identical in size and structure and rotationally symmetrical about the center of the first PCB board 100. The lower surface of the first PCB board 100 is provided with a plurality of delay lines 120 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of triangular patches 110. Each triangular patch 110 has a... A first metal through-hole 130 passes through the first PCB board 100 and extends to the delay line 120. A first ground copper layer 210 is provided on the upper surface of the second PCB board 200. A cross-shaped slot 220 is opened in the center of the first ground copper layer 210. A wire copper layer 310 is provided on the upper surface of the third PCB board 300. A second ground copper layer 320 is provided on the lower surface of the third PCB board 300. A power supply hole 330 is opened in the wire copper layer 310. The power supply hole 330 passes through the third PCB board 300 and extends to the second ground copper layer 320.
[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a circularly polarized complementary antenna for low-Earth orbit satellite communication is provided. Multiple triangular patches 110 disposed on the upper surface of a first PCB board 100 constitute an electric dipole. The multiple triangular patches 110 are identical in size and structure and are rotationally symmetrical about the center of the first PCB board 100. A first ground copper layer 210 is disposed on the upper surface of a second PCB board 200. A cross-shaped slot 220 is formed in the center of the first ground copper layer 210. The cross-shaped slot 220 is rotationally symmetrical about the center of the first ground copper layer 210. The electric dipole is fed by the cross-shaped slot 220 of the first ground copper layer 210. Multiple triangular patches 110 disposed on the lower surface of the first PCB board 100 constitute an electric dipole. Each triangular patch 110 corresponds to a plurality of delay lines 120, and a first metal via 130 and a first ground copper layer 210 formed on each triangular patch 110 constitute a magnetic dipole. The relative phase of the magnetic dipole and the electric dipole is adjusted by the delay lines 120. A wired copper layer 310 is provided on the upper surface of the third PCB board 300, and a second ground copper layer 320 is provided on the lower surface of the third PCB board 300. A power feeding hole 330 is provided in the wired copper layer 310. The power feeding hole 330 passes through the third PCB board 300 and extends to the second ground copper layer 320. The wired copper layer 310 provides energy coupling power to the cross-shaped slot 220 in the first ground copper layer 210. This invention employs a triangular patch antenna 110 as an electric dipole antenna and a slot antenna as a magnetic dipole antenna. Since both the electric and magnetic dipoles utilize rotationally symmetric structures, circular polarization is achieved. The electric and magnetic dipoles share a cross-shaped slot 220 as a feed source, forming a complementary antenna combination. This achieves low cross-polarization levels, stable gain, and low backfire levels, while also extending the antenna's operating bandwidth. Furthermore, a delay line 120 is added to the dipole antenna to adjust the relative phase, ensuring that the feed phases of the electric and magnetic dipoles are synchronized, maintaining a low axial ratio under low elevation conditions. Additionally, phase modulation is achieved through the use of the cross-shaped slot 220 and the copper layer 310 for feeding, thereby improving the stability and reliability of low-Earth orbit satellite communication.
[0037] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the first PCB board 100, the second PCB board 200 and the third PCB board 300 are the same size and all use square dielectric substrates.
[0038] In one embodiment, the lengths of the first PCB board 100, the second PCB board 200, and the third PCB board 300 are all 8.5 mm, and the widths of the first PCB board 100, the second PCB board 200, and the third PCB board 300 are all 8.5 mm.
[0039] It is understandable that, such as Figure 3As shown, one end of each delay line 120 is connected to the first metal via 130, and the other end is connected to the first ground copper layer 210.
[0040] In one embodiment, the triangular patch 110 is a metal patch, and the first metal through hole 130 and the power supply hole 330 are both metallized vias. The diameter of the first metal through hole 130 is 0.30 mm.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, a first adhesive layer 400 disposed between a first PCB board 100 and a second PCB board 200, and a second adhesive layer 500 disposed between the second PCB board 200 and a third PCB board 300 are further included. The thickness of the first adhesive layer 400 is greater than the thickness of the second adhesive layer 500, and the dielectric constant of the first adhesive layer 400 and the dielectric constant of the second adhesive layer 500 are the same. It is understood that the first adhesive layer 400 disposed between the first PCB board 100 and the second PCB board 200 serves as a delay line 120 layer, and its surface is not covered with metal. Similarly, the second adhesive layer 500 disposed between the second PCB board 200 and the third PCB board 300 serves as a transition layer, and its surface is not covered with metal.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first PCB board 100, a first adhesive layer 400, a second PCB board 200, a second adhesive layer 500, and a third PCB board 300, stacked sequentially from top to bottom, constitute an antenna assembly. Furthermore, the first adhesive layer 400 and the second adhesive layer 500 are the same size as the first PCB board 100, the second PCB board 200, and the third PCB board 300. The substrates of both the first adhesive layer 400 and the second adhesive layer 500 are square PP (polypropylene) boards, and the length and width of both the first adhesive layer 400 and the second adhesive layer 500 are 8.5 mm.
[0043] In one embodiment, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 400 is 0.2 mm, the thickness of the second adhesive layer 500 is 0.1 mm, and the dielectric constant of both the first adhesive layer 400 and the second adhesive layer 500 is 3.52.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, there are four delay lines 120, and all four delay lines 120 are S-shaped. It should be noted that the four delay lines 120 in these embodiments are all S-shaped, and all four delay lines 120 are microstrip delay lines 120. The S-shaped delay lines 120 allow for adjustment of the relative phase between the magnetic dipole and the electric dipole to maintain a consistent 90°, thereby achieving a low axial ratio under low elevation angle conditions.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of triangular patches 110 is four. The two rectangular gaps 141 between the four triangular patches 110 intersect to form a cross-shaped gap 140, and the geometric center of the cross-shaped gap 140 coincides with the geometric center of the cross-shaped slot 220. It should be noted that the electric dipole is composed of four triangular patches 110, and the vertices of the four triangular patches 110 face the center of the square substrate. Adjacent patches form right angles. Therefore, the two rectangular gaps 141 between the four triangular patches 110 intersect to form a cross-shaped gap 140. The geometric center of the cross-shaped gap 140 coincides with the center of the first PCB board 100, forming a rotationally symmetrical structure, and coincides with the geometric center of the cross-shaped slot 220 of the first ground copper layer 210. Thus, the cross-shaped slot 220 feeds the electric dipole composed of the four triangular patches 110.
[0046] In one embodiment, the number of first metal through holes 130 is the same as the number of triangular patches 110, that is, each triangular patch 110 has a first metal through hole 130, and a total of 4 first metal through holes 130 are provided on the first PCB board 100.
[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-shaped slot 220 includes two intersecting rectangular slots 221. The two rectangular slots 221 have the same length and width, and the projection of the rectangular slots 221 on the upper surface of the first PCB board 100 partially coincides with the rectangular gap 141. It should be noted that two rectangular slots 221 are formed in the first ground copper layer 210, and the cross-shaped slot 220 is formed by the two intersecting rectangular slots 221. The two rectangular slots 221 have the same length and width, with a length of 4.2 mm and a width of 0.4 mm. Further, the projection of the rectangular slots 221 on the upper surface of the first PCB board 100 partially coincides with the rectangular gap 141, that is, the projection of the cross-shaped slot 220 on the upper surface of the first PCB board 100 partially coincides with the cross-shaped gap 140.
[0048] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments of the present invention, the strip copper layer 310 includes a first microstrip line 311 and a second microstrip line 312 vertically connected on the plane of the third PCB board 300. The length of the first microstrip line 311 is greater than the length of the second microstrip line 312, and the width of the first microstrip line 311 is less than the width of the second microstrip line 312. A convex structure 313 is formed at the end of the second microstrip line 312. It can be understood that the strip copper layer 310, as a strip line, performs energy coupling to the cross-shaped gap 220 in the first ground copper layer 210. Specifically, it can be controlled by a T-shaped feed line composed of the first microstrip line 311 and the second microstrip line 312 vertically connected on the plane of the third PCB board 300. The wider the first microstrip line 311 and the second microstrip line 312, the greater the energy. The greater the length difference between the first microstrip line 311 and the second microstrip line 312, the greater the phase difference. In one embodiment, the first microstrip line 311 has a length of 5.2 mm and a width of 0.9 mm, the second microstrip line 312 has a length of 1.05 mm and a width of 1.3 mm, and the convex structure 313 at the end of the second microstrip line 312 has a width of 0.8 mm. It should be understood that this embodiment of the invention uses a cross-shaped slot 220 and a T-shaped feeder for phase modulation. By adjusting the power distribution and phase difference of the T-shaped feeder, different energy ratios and phase ratios are set to achieve switching between multiple polarization modes. Specifically, a left-hand circular polarization can be formed by setting the energy distribution to 1:1 and the phase difference to 90 degrees; a right-hand circular polarization can be formed by setting the energy distribution to 1:1 and the phase difference to -90 degrees.
[0049] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, a feed hole 330 is disposed at one end of the first microstrip line 311, and a circular non-metallic region 321 is disposed on the second ground copper layer 320. The center of the circular non-metallic region 321 coincides with the center of the feed hole 330, and the diameter of the circular non-metallic region 321 is larger than the diameter of the feed hole 330. It should be noted that the feed hole 330 opened on the strip copper layer 310 can specifically be opened at one end of the first microstrip line 311, and extend through the third PCB board 300 to the second ground copper layer 320. Then, a circular non-metallic region 321 can be processed on the second ground copper layer 320. This circular non-metallic region 321 is a non-metallic region surrounding the feed hole 330, thereby maintaining electrical isolation between the feed hole 330 and the second ground copper layer 320.
[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of corresponding second metal through-holes 600 are formed on the first PCB board 100 and the first adhesive layer 400. The plurality of second metal through-holes 600 are respectively arranged circumferentially along the edges of the first PCB board 100 and the first adhesive layer 400, and the second metal through-holes 600 pass through the first PCB board 100 and the first adhesive layer 400 and extend to the first ground copper layer 210. It should be noted that the second metal through-holes 600 penetrate downward from the first PCB board 100 and the first adhesive layer 400 until they reach the first ground copper layer 210 and connect.
[0051] In one embodiment, the diameter of the second metal through hole 600 is larger than the diameter of the first metal through hole 130. Both the second metal through hole 600 and the first metal through hole 130 are metallized vias, and the diameter of the second metal through hole 600 is 0.60 mm.
[0052] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of corresponding third metal through-holes 700 are formed in the second PCB board 200, the third PCB board 300, and the second adhesive layer 500. The plurality of third metal through-holes 700 are respectively arranged circumferentially along the edges of the second PCB board 200, the third PCB board 300, and the second adhesive layer 500, and the third metal through-holes 700 pass through the second PCB board 200, the third PCB board 300, and the second adhesive layer 500 and extend to the second ground copper layer 320. It should be noted that the third metal through-holes 700 penetrate downwards from the second PCB board 200 through the second adhesive layer 500 and the third PCB board 300 until they reach and connect with the second ground copper layer 320.
[0053] In one embodiment, the diameter of the third metal via 700 is smaller than the diameter of the second metal via 600, and the third metal via 700 is a metallized via.
[0054] It is understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of second metal through holes 600 and the plurality of third metal through holes 700 correspond one-to-one, that is, the number of second metal through holes 600 and the number of third metal through holes 700 are the same, and the corresponding second metal through holes 600 and third metal through holes 700 are opened on the same axis.
[0055] In one embodiment, the number of second metal through holes 600 and the number of third metal through holes 700 are both 32.
[0056] Reference Figure 1In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the first PCB board 100 is greater than the thickness of the second PCB board 200, the thickness of the second PCB board 200 is the same as the thickness of the third PCB board 300, the dielectric constant of the first PCB board 100 is greater than the dielectric constant of the third PCB board 300, and the dielectric constant of the second PCB board 200 is greater than the dielectric constant of the first PCB board 100. It should be noted that the thickness of the first PCB board 100 is 1.026 mm, the thickness of the second PCB board 200 is 0.168 mm, and the thickness of the third PCB board 300 is 0.168 mm.
