[0030] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0031] The overall structure, working principle and technical effects of the horn antenna 100 provided by the present application will be described in detail below through embodiments and in combination with the drawings.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the present embodiment provides a kind of horn antenna 100, it can be applied to communication, radar and electromagnetic test etc.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In the embodiment, the horn antenna 100 comprises an antenna body 110, the antenna body 110 is in the shape of a horn, and the inner side radius of the antenna body 110 and the axial position satisfy an exponential gradient function relationship, and a plurality of ring platforms 130 are arranged on the outer periphery of the antenna body 110 along the axial direction of the antenna body 110.

[0034] In the embodiment, the antenna body 110 is arranged in the shape of a horn, and the inner side radius of the antenna body 110 and the axial position satisfy an exponential gradient function relationship, and a plurality of ring platforms 130 are arranged on the outer periphery of the antenna body 110 along the axial direction of the antenna body 110, so that a wave trough is formed between two adjacent ring platforms 130, and a wave peak is formed at the position corresponding to the ring platform 130, so that the antenna body 110 forms an outer corrugated horn antenna 100. The arrangement makes the horn antenna 100 obtain the superior radiation performance of the traditional inner corrugated horn antenna, and since the ring platforms 130 are arranged on the outer periphery, they can be integrally formed by milling and do not require complex processing tools, so the processing difficulty is low and the cost is low. Most importantly, the horn antenna provided by the embodiment can also improve the problem of breakdown between corrugated metal walls when high-power microwaves are radiated, compared with the traditional inner corrugated horn antenna.

[0035] Specifically, the improvement of the radiation performance is reflected in: Better impedance matching: The inner side radius of the antenna body 110 and the axial position satisfy an exponential gradient function relationship, which can make the feed port impedance smoothly match the horn aperture impedance in each section. Compared with the conical horn antenna, this exponential gradient structure can more effectively reduce the impedance discontinuity between the waveguide and the free space, thereby reducing the reflection of electromagnetic waves and enabling more energy to be radiated into the free space, thereby improving the radiation efficiency.

[0036] Wider bandwidth: The exponential gradient structure increases the resonance modes of the antenna, thereby expanding the bandwidth of the antenna. In contrast, the bandwidth of the conical horn antenna is relatively narrow. This wideband characteristic enables the antenna to work in a wider frequency range while maintaining good radiation performance.

[0037] Lower side lobe and cross polarization level: The plurality of ring platforms 130 arranged on the outer periphery of the antenna body 110 along the axial direction, similar to the structure of the corrugated horn antenna. These ring platforms 130 can achieve extremely low side lobe and cross polarization levels within the antenna bandwidth range, so that the radiation energy of the antenna is more concentrated in the main lobe direction, and the energy leakage in the side lobe direction is reduced, thereby improving the radiation performance and anti-interference ability of the antenna.

[0038] Better beam equalization characteristic: Under the joint action of the antenna body 110 and the plurality of ring platforms 130 arranged on the outer periphery along the axial direction, the radiation pattern has the same beam width in all planes in which it is located in the axial direction, and exhibits good beam equalization characteristics.

[0039] More uniform electric field distribution: The horn antenna 100 provided by the embodiment has an advantage in homogenizing the aperture field, and can reduce the electric field intensity of the antenna aperture and make the electric field distribution more uniform. When high-power microwave radiation occurs, the uniform distribution of the electric field intensity can reduce the case of excessively high local electric field intensity, thereby reducing the possibility of wall breakdown.

[0040] Improved power capacity: The larger aperture radius-to-wavelength ratio helps to withstand higher microwave power without breakdown, thereby improving the wall breakdown problem of the corrugated structure.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In the embodiment, one end of the antenna body 110 opposite to the other end is the feed end 111, and the other end is the aperture end 113. In a coordinate system with the intersection of the axis of the antenna body 110 and the end face of the feed end 111 as the origin, the axis of the antenna body 110 as the Z axis, and the radius of the antenna body 110 as the X axis, the inner radius X of the antenna body 110 and the axial position Z satisfy the following exponential gradient function relationship:

[0042]

[0043]

[0044] wherein a and c are both constants; r b is the inner radius of the feed end 111, r t is the inner radius of the aperture end 113; and L is the length of the antenna body 110 in the axial direction.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The profile of the antenna body 110 is optimized by the above-mentioned exponential gradient function, which can obtain better radiation performance, such as good impedance matching, wider blocking bandwidth, lower side lobe level, lower cross-polarization level, better beam equalization performance, etc.

[0046] Specifically, a and c are adjustable parameters, and both of them can adjust the bending degree of the exponential gradient line. The inner radius r b of the feed end 111 corresponds to the size of one end of the circular waveguide of the waveguide conversion connector used for feeding. The minimum value of the value range of c is r b minus the maximum value of a. The maximum value of the value range of c is r b minus the minimum value of a.

[0047] In the embodiment, the value range of a is 2mm-8mm.

[0048] The value range of a is set to 2mm-8mm in this embodiment, so that the bending degree of the profile of the antenna body 110 can be better adjusted, and thus the radiation performance of the antenna can be improved.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the axial length L of the antenna body 110 is 270mm-330mm. The inner radius r t of the aperture end 113 is 130mm-170mm. The wall thickness of the antenna body 110 is the same, and the wall thickness t1 is 2mm-3mm.

[0050] The radiation performance of the horn antenna 100 can be improved by setting the above values.

[0051] In this embodiment, the end surface of the ring platform 130 close to the aperture end 113 is aligned with the end surface of the aperture end 113. All the ring platforms 130 are arranged at equal intervals in the axial direction of the antenna body 110, and the interval d t is 12mm-17mm. The outer convex height l t of all the ring platforms 130 in the radial direction of the antenna body 110 is the same, and the outer convex height l t is 20mm-30mm. The thickness t1 of all the ring platforms 130 in the axial direction of the antenna body 110 is the same.

[0052] The radiation performance of the antenna can be improved by optimizing the above value range of the ring platform 130 in this embodiment.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the horn antenna 100 further comprises a connecting flange 150, which is arranged at the side of the antenna body 110 located at the feed end 111, and is used to connect a waveguide conversion connector.

[0054] The connecting flange 150 is integrally formed with the antenna body 110 in this embodiment, so that the manufacturing and assembly are more convenient.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 In a group of embodiments, a group of values are obtained by simulation optimization with 2.1GHz-2.8GHz as the target working frequency range: the value of a is 5mm; the value of r b is 48.935mm, the value of r t is 150mm, the value of L is 300mm, the wall thickness of the antenna body 110 is 2.5mm, the thickness of the ring platform 130 is 2.5mm, the outer convex height of all the ring platforms 130 in the radial direction of the antenna body 110 is 25mm, and the interval of any two adjacent ring platforms 130 in the axial direction of the antenna body 110 is 14.5mm.

[0056] The embodiment can obtain better working performance in the target frequency range through optimization of the above values.

[0057] Specifically, r b The value of r can be determined according to the size of the coaxial-circular waveguide converter used.

[0058] The horn antenna 100 provided by the embodiment can constitute a directly usable horn antenna 100 in combination with an existing coaxial-circular waveguide converter. According to the horn antenna 100 theory, as long as the mode of the converter (TE 11 ) meets the requirements of the embodiment, the matching between the two can meet the actual requirements. Taking a coaxial-circular waveguide converter of Handa Microwave as an example, the nominal working frequency range is 2.1-2.8 GHz.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , which are the radiation patterns of the horn antenna 100 provided by the embodiment at 2.1 GHz, 2.45 GHz and 2.8 GHz when Phi is 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120° and 150°, respectively (the coordinate system used is the coordinate system in Figure 4 and Figure 5 ). It can be seen that the 3dB beam width of the radiation patterns in different Phi planes at the three frequency points is basically the same, which indicates that the antenna has good beam equalization characteristics and can better meet the requirements of the feed of the rotating parabolic antenna. Figure 9 and Figure 10 respectively give the sidelobe level diagram and the front-to-back ratio diagram of the horn antenna 100 provided by the embodiment. It can be seen that in the frequency range of 2.1-2.8 GHz, the maximum sidelobe level of the antenna is -27.40 dB, and the minimum front-to-back ratio is 29.83 dB, which reflects the overall good low-sidelobe characteristics of the antenna. Figure 11 The cross-polarization level diagram of the horn antenna 100 provided by the embodiment in the main radiation direction (z+ direction in Figure 4 and Figure 5 ) is given. It can be seen from Figure 11 that in the frequency range of 2.1-2.8 GHz, the maximum cross-polarization level is -40.28 dB, which reflects good cross-polarization characteristics. Figure 12 and Figure 13 respectively give the electric field distribution of the horn antenna 100 provided by the embodiment in the xoz plane and the yoz plane when the frequency is 2.45 GHz. It can be seen from Figure 12 and Figure 13It can be seen that the high amplitude electric field is concentrated inside the horn, and after directional radiation with low side lobe and low cross polarization, the electric field value of the outer corrugated area is small, and it is difficult to occur breakdown phenomenon. Therefore, high power electromagnetic waves can be radiated.

[0060] In a group of comparative examples, the radius rb of the feed end 111, the radius rt of the aperture end 113, the axial length L of the traditional conical horn antenna, the exponential tapered conical horn antenna and the inner corrugated horn antenna, and the axial position and size of the inner ring platform 130 of the inner corrugated horn antenna are set to be basically the same as those of the horn antenna of the present embodiment for simulation comparison, and the specific comparison results are as follows: Through Figure 7 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 comparison, it can be seen that the beam equalization characteristics of the traditional conical horn antenna are the worst, the beam equalization characteristics of the exponential tapered conical horn antenna are slightly better, and the beam equalization characteristics of the horn antenna 100 provided by the present embodiment are better.

[0061] Figure 16 and Figure 17 are the side lobe levels of the traditional conical horn antenna and the exponential tapered conical horn antenna respectively. Compared with the side lobe level of the horn antenna 100 provided by the present embodiment (as shown in Figure 9 ), it can be seen that the horn antenna 100 provided by the present embodiment has the lowest side lobe level characteristics.

[0062] Figure 18 and Figure 19 are the front-to-back ratio diagrams of the traditional conical horn antenna and the exponential tapered conical horn antenna respectively. Compared with the front-to-back ratio diagram of the horn antenna provided by the present embodiment (as shown in Figure 10 ), it can be seen that the horn antenna provided by the present embodiment has the highest front-to-back ratio.

[0063] Figure 20 and Figure 21 are the cross polarization level diagrams of the main radiation direction of the traditional conical horn antenna and the exponential tapered conical horn antenna respectively. Compared with the cross polarization level diagram of the horn antenna 100 provided by the present embodiment in the main radiation direction (as shown in Figure 11 ), it can be seen that the cross polarization level of the horn antenna 100 provided by the present embodiment is slightly higher at 2.1 GHz, but the cross polarization levels of the three are not much different at other frequencies.

[0064] Figure 22 and Figure 23 are the electric field distribution diagrams of the traditional inner corrugated horn antenna in the xoz plane and the yoz plane at 2.45 GHz respectively, and the electric field distribution diagrams of the horn antenna 100 provided by the present embodiment (as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13By comparison, it can be seen that the xoz plane is the E plane of all the horn antennas 100, and the electric field in the plane will form a strong distribution on the horn wall. Figure 12 , Figure 22 The inner part of the horn antenna 100 of the embodiment is a smooth metal surface, while the inner part of the conventional inner corrugated horn antenna is a corrugated surface. Figure 22 It can be seen that the conventional inner corrugated horn antenna will form a cross-field between the metal walls on both sides of the corrugation, and is prone to breakdown when radiating high-power electromagnetic waves, affecting the radiation performance of the antenna.

[0065] In summary, the antenna body 110 is provided in a horn shape, and the inner radius and axial position of the antenna body 110 satisfy an exponential gradient function, and a plurality of ring platforms 130 are arranged on the outer periphery of the antenna body 110 along the axial direction of the antenna body 110, so that a wave valley is formed between two adjacent ring platforms 130, and a wave peak is formed at the position corresponding to the ring platform 130, so that the antenna body 110 forms an outer corrugated horn antenna 100, which can obtain the superior radiation performance of the conventional corrugated conical horn antenna 100, and since the ring platform 130 is arranged on the outer periphery, it can be milled and integrally formed, and does not require complex processing tools, and has low processing difficulty and low cost. Most importantly, the horn antenna 100 provided by the embodiment has the excellent radiation characteristics of the conventional inner corrugated horn antenna, and can improve the breakdown problem between the metal walls on both sides of the corrugation when radiating high-power electromagnetic waves.

[0066] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
