Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wireless communication technology, and specifically relates to a common aperture antenna array for a high-isolation broadband base station. Background Technology
[0002] A common-aperture antenna refers to an antenna that combines antennas operating in different frequency bands. This is achieved through methods such as a reasonable layout or special design of different antenna elements, allowing them to share the same radiating aperture. Compared to installing antennas for each frequency band independently, this method can greatly save space resources, making the antenna array extremely compact.
[0003] In existing interlaced common aperture antenna arrays, the transmission frequency band of low-frequency antennas to high-frequency antennas is relatively narrow, which cannot meet the requirements of communication systems for operating frequency. In order to achieve electromagnetic transparency, filter structures are often etched on the low-frequency antenna arms to improve the transmission effect of low-frequency antennas, but this will deteriorate the matching of the low-frequency antenna itself and seriously affect its radiation performance.
[0004] Patent application CN114725698A discloses a broadband transparent low-frequency antenna. This low-frequency antenna achieves electromagnetic transparency in the 3.4-5 GHz range (47% bandwidth) by loading dielectric blocks on both sides of the low-frequency radiator. However, this method increases the manufacturing cost of the antenna and worsens the impedance matching of the low-frequency antenna.
[0005] Patent application CN119447830A discloses a frequency selective surface element with large-angle stability. This frequency selective surface exhibits reflection characteristics in the low-frequency band and transmission characteristics in the high-frequency band through slot line resonance. However, this method increases the parabolic height of the antenna system, and the transmission bandwidth cannot meet the requirements of modern multi-communication systems coexisting. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention addresses the issues of widening the operating bandwidth of a common-aperture antenna array and decoupling between high- and low-frequency antennas. It provides a high-isolation broadband common-aperture antenna array for base stations. By loading a suppression structure onto the low-frequency antenna, broadband electromagnetic transparency of the low-frequency antenna is achieved without affecting its matching. Furthermore, utilizing a dual-PLC resonant structure, a frequency-selective surface is proposed. Compared to a single-PLC structure, the dual-PLC resonant structure, connected in series, widens the transmission bandwidth without changing its resonant frequency. This frequency-selective surface exhibits reflective characteristics in the low-frequency band and can serve as a reflective ground plane for the low-frequency antenna, improving the inter-frequency isolation between the low-frequency antenna and the high- and low-frequency antennas.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A high-isolation broadband base station common-aperture antenna array includes, from bottom to top, a metal ground plane 4, a high-frequency antenna array 3, a frequency selective surface layer 2, and a low-frequency antenna 1. The metal ground plane 4 is located at the bottom of the antenna array and serves as a support. The high-frequency antenna array 3 is located above the metal ground plane 4 to achieve high-frequency radiation. The frequency selective surface layer 2 is located above the high-frequency antenna array 3 and is used to electromagnetically isolate the low-frequency antenna 1 from the high-frequency antenna array 3. The low-frequency antenna 1 is located at the top of the antenna array to achieve low-frequency radiation. The low-frequency antenna 1 is equipped with a suppression structure. The frequency selective surface layer 2 is composed of M1 × N1 identical frequency selective units 5. The frequency selective units 5 broaden the transmission bandwidth through a series connection of dual PLC resonant structures, and equivalent capacitors are connected in series on both sides of the dual PLC resonant structures to control the reflection frequency band of the frequency selective surface layer 2 to cover the operating frequency band of the low-frequency antenna 1. The high-frequency antenna array 3 is composed of M2 × N2 identical high-frequency antenna elements 6.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The low-frequency antenna 1 proposed in this invention designs the low-frequency antenna arm 113 as a structure with multiple suppression units arranged end to end. While not affecting the matching of the low-frequency antenna, it changes the propagation path of the scattered current on the low-frequency antenna arm 113, so that the radiated electric field in the far field region of the scattered current cancels out, thereby realizing the broadband electromagnetic transparency characteristics of the low-frequency antenna. The suppression unit maintains the original radiation current characteristics of the low-frequency antenna 1 while suppressing scattering, thereby achieving good port matching of the low-frequency antenna 1.
[0009] 2. The dual PLC resonant structure on the back of the horizontal dielectric substrate of the frequency selection unit proposed in this invention achieves high-frequency transmission characteristics. The single PLC structure can be equivalent to a capacitor-inductor parallel circuit. When the capacitor and inductor resonate in parallel, it can be equivalent to an open circuit. The dual PLC structure is connected in series, which further expands the filtering bandwidth without changing its resonant frequency.
[0010] 3. The first frequency selection unit 5a proposed in this invention provides a parallel plate capacitance component through the overlapping portion of the top metal sheet 53 and the first dual PLC resonant structure 52a, thereby achieving miniaturization of the frequency selection surface. The reflection band of this frequency selection unit can be adjusted by regulating the size of the overlapping portion. The second frequency selection unit 5b and the third frequency selection unit 5c can respectively adjust the reflection band by changing the sizes of the first interdigitated capacitor 56 and the parallel plate capacitor 57.
[0011] 4. The PLC resonant structure of the present invention has high integration. By changing the size of the distributed inductor structure 5211a and the distributed capacitor structure 5212a or the toggle inductor 5211b and the second cross-toe capacitor 5212b, the reflection and transmission bandwidth of the frequency selection unit 5 can be adjusted.
[0012] 5. The frequency-selective surface layer 2 proposed in this invention has low-frequency reflection and high-frequency transmission characteristics. While not affecting the radiation of the high-frequency antenna array 3, it serves as a reflective ground plane for the low-frequency antenna 1. This improves the port isolation between the low- and high-frequency antennas and also enables modularity of the base station system.
[0013] 6. The low-frequency antenna 1 and the frequency selective surface layer 2 of this invention are designed as a high-frequency electromagnetically transparent structure. When the electromagnetic waves from the high-frequency antenna array 3 below irradiate the low-frequency antenna 1 and the frequency selective surface layer 2, electromagnetic transmission characteristics are achieved, allowing the high-frequency electromagnetic waves to radiate normally. The frequency selective surface layer 2 exhibits electromagnetic reflection properties in the low-frequency band, which can reflect the electromagnetic waves irradiated below by the low-frequency antenna 1, thereby achieving electromagnetic isolation between the low-frequency antenna 1 and the high-frequency antenna array 3.
[0014] In summary, this invention proposes a high-isolation broadband base station common-aperture antenna array. By introducing a suppression unit 112 into the low-frequency antenna 1, the propagation path of the scattered current is altered, causing adjacent currents to have opposite phases and cancel each other out in the far field, thus achieving broadband electromagnetic transparency and low scattering characteristics for the low-frequency antenna 1. Simultaneously, the frequency-selective surface layer 2 employs a dual-PLC resonant structure and a capacitive structure in series design, achieving low-frequency reflection and high-frequency transmission, with the reflection and transmission bandwidth adjustable through structural parameters. Without affecting the normal radiation of the high-frequency antenna array 3, this frequency-selective surface layer 2 serves as the reflector ground plane for the low-frequency antenna 1, improving the isolation between the low- and high-frequency antennas and the system integration.
