[0002] Airborne antenna technology develops rapidly, its flight height promotes, speed becomes fast, and flight environment also becomes more and more complex, and the requirement of airborne communication antenna gradually improves.From the angle of electromagnetics, the shape and size of antenna can control the direction and intensity of electromagnetic radiation. For example, through reasonable antenna layout and shape optimization, antenna can concentrate emission and reception signal in a particular direction, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of signal. Bandwidth is one of the obvious short boards. Nowadays, data transmission volume shows explosive growth, and people expect to realize functions such as high-definition video call, real-time data monitoring and the like in the air. However, the existing data link antenna has limited bandwidth. Like a narrow road, it is difficult to bear the rapidly growing traffic. In some traditional antenna designs, the high-frequency band has a narrow bandwidth, which makes it impossible to meet the communication demand of large data volume. When it is necessary to transmit high-definition map data or a large amount of monitoring data of aircraft system, the problem of insufficient bandwidth will be highlighted, resulting in slow transmission speed or even failure to complete the transmission task.
