[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The image shows a wideband dual-polarized small-size ceiling antenna in an embodiment of the present invention, including a large lower conical radiating element 2, a small upper conical radiating element 3, a horizontal radiating element 4, a horizontally polarized cable transmission port 5, and a vertically polarized cable transmission port 6.

[0052] The small upper conical radiating oscillator 3 is positioned below the large lower conical radiating oscillator 2. Several groups of horizontal radiating oscillators 4 are arranged in a circular array to form a circular array of horizontal radiating oscillators. This circular array is positioned between the large lower conical radiating oscillator 2 and the small upper conical radiating oscillator 3. One end of the horizontal polarization cable transmission port 5 is connected to the bottom of the circular array of horizontal radiating oscillators, and the other end passes through the small upper conical radiating oscillator 3. One end of the vertical polarization cable transmission port 6 is connected to the bottom of the large lower conical radiating oscillator 2, and the other end passes through both the circular array of horizontal radiating oscillators and the small upper conical radiating oscillator 3. It should be noted that there are five groups of horizontal radiating oscillators. The large lower conical radiating oscillator 2, the small upper conical radiating oscillator 3, and the circular array of horizontal radiating oscillators are covered by an outer casing 1.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the diameter of the outer cover 1 is 160mm and the height of the outer cover 1 is 110mm. In other optional embodiments, the diameter of the outer cover 1 can be selected in the range of 150mm to 170mm, and the height of the outer cover 1 can be selected in the range of 118mm to 110mm.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the large lower conical radiating oscillator 2 is a conical structure with a height of 45mm, a bottom diameter of 150mm, and an inner angle at the top of 120°. In other optional embodiments, the height of the large lower conical radiating oscillator 2 can be selected from the range of 32mm to 48mm, the bottom diameter from 145mm to 165mm, and the inner angle at the top of 116° to 121°.

[0055] Furthermore, the bottom of the small upper conical radiating element 3 is provided with a protruding structure 31. This allows it to better reflect electromagnetic waves with the large lower conical radiating element 2. By limiting the angle of the two arms of the upper and lower cones to be different, an asymmetric biconical antenna is formed; this can effectively adjust the radiation direction of the electromagnetic wave signal, thereby adjusting the gain, roundness, and cross-polarization ratio (roundness) of the electromagnetic wave signal in different frequency bands. Correspondingly, through the mutual coordination of the three elements of cone angle, height, and maximum diameter of the lower cone, specifically as follows... Figure 4 As shown, signal reception and transmission are then performed through the vertically polarized cable transmission port. This allows the vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna to meet the following mobile vertical polarization performance requirements within a relatively small size: antenna gain greater than 1 dBi in the 880–960 MHz band, greater than 2 dBi in the 1710–1850 MHz band, and greater than or equal to 3 dBi in the 1850–2700 MHz band; low-frequency roundness less than 1.0 dB in the 880–960 MHz band, and high-frequency roundness less than 1.5 dB in the 1710–2700 MHz band; cross-polarization ratio (roundness) greater than 13 dB in the 880–960 MHz band, and greater than 13 dB in the 1710–2700 MHz band. Figures 6 to 13 As shown.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, a PCB substrate is provided between the large lower conical radiating oscillator 2 and the small upper conical radiating oscillator 3, and a plurality of horizontal radiating oscillators 4 are disposed on the PCB substrate. The upper surface of the PCB substrate is copper-clad and has 5 sets of half-wave oscillators 41, as detailed below. Figure 14 As shown, the lower surface of the PCB substrate is copper-clad and has 5 sets of coupled-feed microstrip lines 42, specifically as follows: Figure 15 As shown, the coupled-feed microstrip line 42 is connected to the horizontally polarized cable transmission port and the vertically polarized cable transmission port via an impedance transformation line 44, so as to propagate the radiated electromagnetic waves through the horizontally polarized cable transmission port and the vertically polarized cable transmission port, specifically as follows: Figures 16 to 17 As shown.

[0057] It needs to be explained that, firstly, a half-wave dipole is designed based on the frequency band bandwidth, and the circular array arrangement is calculated. Then, a coupled-feed microstrip line 42 is designed to construct a complete radiating half-wave dipole 41. Next, a feed network microstrip line 43 is designed, and the matching resistance is adjusted using an impedance transformation line 44. Simulation software is used to calculate that for the same microstrip line length, the phase output signal peaks are basically the same. Then, for the same microstrip line width, the output power ratio is basically equal. Finally, the designed microstrip feed network is connected to five sets of coupled-feed microstrip lines to form a complete network, constructing a complete horizontally polarized antenna, such as... Figure 17 As shown, the following mobile horizontal polarization technical specifications must be met: antenna gain greater than or equal to 2.5 dBi in the 1880-2700 MHz band; high-frequency circularity less than 2.0 dB in the 1880-2700 MHz band; cross-polarization ratio (circularity) greater than 11 dB in the 1880-2700 MHz band. Figures 18-21 As shown.

[0058] It is worth noting that, to meet the S-parameter requirements, the current capacitance and resistance performance of the microstrip feed network 43 were modified. Lengthening or widening the microstrip line would improve the S-parameters, but would alter the phase and power ratio exponents, worsening the pattern roundness and cross-polarization ratio, thus failing to meet mobile communication specification requirements. Through verification using the superposition method and adjustable S-parameters, the phase and power ratio of the network microstrip line were not affected. The S-parameters, pattern roundness, and cross-polarization ratio all met the mobile communication specification requirements. Furthermore, the orthogonal radiating elements of the horizontally polarized cable transmission port and the vertically polarized cable transmission port were combined to form a complete dual-polarized omnidirectional ceiling-mounted antenna, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0059] In summary, the broadband dual-polarized small-size ceiling antenna in the above embodiments of this utility model has one port for vertically polarized transmission and reception of radiated signals, and the other port for horizontally polarized transmission and reception of radiated signals, realizing the transmission and reception of radio waves in different directions. Its basic principle is to set two orthogonal radiating elements on the antenna, responsible for signal transmission in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. This dual-polarized antenna not only achieves omnidirectional transmission but also better adapts to different geographical environments and signal transmission requirements. The vertical polarization is composed of irregularly shaped asymmetrical biconical dipoles, with a small upper conical radiating dipole 3 and a large lower conical radiating dipole 2 forming the vertical polarization radiating unit. The signal is then output through the port via a cable, achieving vertical polarization radiation coverage. The horizontal polarization dipoles consist of five sets of half-wave dipoles 41 and a coupled feed network. The half-wave dipoles 41 are five sets of dipoles forming a circular array, connected by a microstrip feed network. The signal is then output through the port via a cable, achieving 360-degree horizontal polarization radiation coverage. Figure 22 and Figure 23As shown. The market demand for large-size dual-polarized ceiling antennas, typically around Ф200 or Ф180 mm in diameter, is being addressed. Existing designs suffer from high costs and poor performance stability, particularly horizontally polarized antennas with a circularity greater than 2.5, failing to meet mobile communication technical specifications. A new lightweight, small-size dual-polarized ceiling antenna with a diameter less than Ф165 mm is being designed, minimizing its size while ensuring that all internal antenna specifications meet mobile communication technical requirements.
