[0001] The present invention relates to a broadband transmission / filter radiation element, a common aperture antenna array, and a communication device, and belongs to the technical field of mobile communication.

Background Art

[0002] With the large-scale commercial use of 5G mobile communication systems, array antennas in different frequency bands share a reflecting surface to form a common aperture antenna. In order to reduce the surface area of the antenna, high-frequency antenna radiation elements are often arranged around low-frequency radiation elements. The closer the physical distance between the two is, the more serious the interference becomes. The interference between high-frequency antenna radiation elements and low-frequency antenna radiation elements can be divided into two types. One is the radiation interference between the two, that is, when the electromagnetic wave radiated by the high-frequency antenna irradiates the low-frequency radiation element, electromagnetic induction occurs in the low-frequency radiation element, and electromagnetic wave radiation is excited. Therefore, the radiation pattern of the high-frequency antenna array may be distorted by the superposition of the two electromagnetic waves. This type of interference can usually improve the problem of distortion of the high-frequency radiation pattern by making the low-frequency radiation element transmissive. The other is its own radiation interference, that is, the low-frequency radiation element not only excites electromagnetic waves within its own operating frequency band, but also electromagnetic waves may be excited within a range of twice or three times its own operating frequency band due to frequency doubling. This type of interference is usually solved by an additional filter circuit, but currently, the function of integrating transmission / filter by the radiation surface has not yet been realized.

[0028] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, specific embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Many specific details will be described below so that the present invention may be fully understood. However, the present invention can be carried out in many other forms different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the invention, so the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Furthermore, when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element, or it may be connected to the other element via an intermediate element. In the following embodiments, "connection" should be understood as "electrical connection," "communication connection," etc., when connected circuits, modules, elements, etc., transmit electrical signals or data to each other.

[0030] As used herein, the singular forms “one,” “one,” and “the said / the said” may also include the plural form unless the context specifically indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that terms such as “equipment / includes” or “have” identify the presence of a described feature, whole, step, action, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. In addition, terms used herein include any and all combinations of the related items described.

[0031] (Example 1) As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment provides a broadband transmission / filter radiating element. The radiating element is a low-frequency radiating element and comprises a radiating structure 1 and a feeding structure 2. The radiating structure 1 and the feeding structure 2 employ a coupled feeding method so that the radiating structure 1 radiates low-frequency electromagnetic wave signals to the outside, and the radiating structure comprises a radiator 11 on which a multilayer surface periodic structure 12 is mounted.

[0032] The radiation structure 1 of this embodiment can be divided into two operating modes: a first mode and a second mode. When the radiation structure 1 operates in the first mode, electromagnetic waves excited by the high-frequency radiating element 3 irradiate the radiation structure 1. The array arm and multilayer surface periodic structure in the radiation structure 1 constitute a spatial bandpass filter circuit of non-resonant nodes (abbreviated as NRN) having K resonance points and K null points as shown in Figure 2. This allows the electromagnetic wave energy excited by the multiple high-frequency radiating elements 3 to pass through the low-frequency radiating elements as completely as possible, improving the radiation pattern of the high-frequency array. When the radiation structure 1 operates in the second mode, low-frequency electromagnetic waves excite the radiation structure 1 via the power supply portion. At this time, the multilayer surface periodic structure 12 is excited in parallel by the radiator 11, forming the equivalent filter circuit shown in Figure 3. After the circuits are transformed and integrated, the equivalent filter circuit in Figure 3 can be integrated into the equivalent non-resonant node filter circuit shown in Figure 4. Since it has been proven that the non-resonant node structure in Figure 4 generates K radiated nulls, and that the frequencies of the radiated nulls are the same as the element resonance frequencies of the surface periodic structures in each layer, the frequency of the radiated nulls can be controlled by modulating the element resonance frequencies of the periodic surfaces, thereby improving the out-of-band suppression of the antenna. However, K ≥ 1.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, in the radiation structure 1 of this embodiment, the radiator 11 comprises four radiation arms provided on the substrate 111, the four radiation arms being the first radiation arm 112, the second radiation arm 113, the third radiation arm 114, and the fourth radiation arm 115, respectively. The first radiation arm 112 and the third radiation arm 114 form a +45° polarization of the low-frequency radiation element, and the second radiation arm 113 and the fourth radiation arm 115 form a -45° polarization of the low-frequency radiation element. The circuits on the radiator 11 can be etched into the upper and lower layers of the substrate 111 using a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The solid lines represent the upper layer circuits of the substrate 111, and the shaded areas represent the lower layer circuits of the substrate 111. The order of the two can also be reversed, that is, the solid lines represent the lower layer circuits of the substrate 111 and the shaded areas represent the upper layer circuits of the substrate 111.

[0034] As shown in Figure 6, this is a structural diagram of the radiation arm of this embodiment, and taking the second radiation arm 113 as an example, the second radiation arm 113 comprises seven transmission / filter elements 1131 and a power supply block 1132. As shown in Figure 7, each transmission / filter element 1131 comprises two metal straight sections 11311, a first U-shaped open element 11312 and a second U-shaped open element 11313, the power supply block 1132 is connected to the power supply structure 2, the two metal straight sections 11311 are provided on the upper and lower layers of the substrate 111 respectively, and the two metal straight sections 11311 are connected via a metal through-hole, and the metal straight sections 11311 of the seven transmission / filter elements 1131 and the power supply block 1132 are connected in sequence to form an annular octagon, and the rotation angle between pairs of adjacent transmission / filter elements 1131 is 30° to 45°. The first U-type open element 11312 and the second U-type open element 11313 are located on one side of the metal straight section 11311, with the first U-type open element 11312 provided on the upper layer of the substrate 111 and the second U-type open element 11313 provided on the lower layer of the substrate 111. To make it clear, the positions of the first U-type open element 11312 and the second U-type open element 11313 can be swapped, that is, the first U-type open element 11312 can be provided on the lower layer of the substrate 111 and the second U-type open element 11313 can be provided on the upper layer of the substrate 111.

[0035] Furthermore, the two metal linear sections 11311 are considered as a single metal component, and the first U-type open element 11312 and the second U-type open element 11313 are each two metal components. The three metal components can form two frequency band transmission paths in the high-frequency band. The width of the metal linear section 11311 is 1.5 mm to 2 mm. If the line width is too narrow, it exhibits relatively high inductance characteristics, which is unfavorable for impedance matching of the low-frequency radiating element and affects the operating bandwidth of the low-frequency radiating element. If the line width is too wide, high-frequency electromagnetic waves are likely to irradiate the transmission element, causing excessive surface waves and affecting the transmission effect. The combined length of the first U-type open element 11312 and the second U-type open element 11313 is half the operating wavelength of the corresponding transmission frequency band, the line width is 1 mm to 2 mm, the U-shaped aperture width is 2 mm to 5 mm, and the distance between the first U-type open element 11312 and the second U-type open element 11313 and the metal straight section 11311 is 0.01 to 0.03 times the wavelength of the corresponding frequency band. Dual-band or broad-band transmission is achieved by controlling the resonant frequencies of the first U-type open element 11312 and the second U-type open element 11313. For low-frequency radiating elements, the current action of the first U-type open element 11312 and the second U-type open element 11313 does not radiate energy to the outside, but by forming two null points in the high-frequency band, radiation from the low-frequency radiating elements in the high-frequency band is suppressed. The power supply block 1132 faces one transmission / filter element 1131, and the length of the line connecting the power supply block 1132 and the transmission / filter element 1131 facing it in the second radiating arm 113 is 0.22 to 0.25 times the wavelength corresponding to the operating center frequency of the low-frequency radiating element. Correspondingly, the length of the line connecting the power supply block and the transmission / filter element facing it in the fourth radiating arm 115 is similarly 0.22 to 0.25 times the wavelength corresponding to the operating center frequency of the low-frequency radiating element. The lengths of the lines connecting the power supply block and the transmission / filter element facing it in the first radiating arm 112 and the third radiating arm 114 are 0.44 to 0.5 times the wavelength corresponding to the operating center frequency of the low-frequency radiating element.

[0036] As shown in Figure 8, this is a simulation performance index when a high-frequency electromagnetic wave incident wave irradiates a transmission / filter element. There are two resonance points at 3.48 GHz and 2.24 GHz, and the two U-shaped open elements on the surface resonate at 3.48 GHz and 2.24 GHz. S21 indicates the energy loss after the incident wave passes through the transmission element within the operating frequency band, and from the simulation results, it is between 0.11 dB and 0.29 dB. A single transmission / filter element is a typical resonant circuit and has a narrow operating bandwidth, so multiple transmission / filter elements are connected to form a radiation arm and an RCS simulation is performed. As shown in Figure 9, it is less than -15 dB over the entire range from 2 GHz to 4 GHz, indicating that the radiation arm structure has good transmission characteristics.

[0037] As shown in Figure 10, this is a comparison of the gain curves of the broadband transmission / filter element of this embodiment and a conventional low-frequency radiating element. As can be seen from the figure, the gain reaches 8 dB in the frequency band of 0.6 GHz to 0.96 GHz, and the degree of agreement between the two is very high, indicating that the addition of the transmission / filter element does not affect the radiation characteristics in the low-frequency band. However, two resonance points (null points) are clearly shown in the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 3.6 GHz, and the gain in the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 3.6 GHz is less than 0 dB, indicating that the radiation of the low-frequency radiating element in the high-frequency band is effectively suppressed, and the filter characteristics are demonstrated.

[0038] (Example 2) As shown in Figure 11, this embodiment provides a common aperture antenna array. The antenna array comprises a first antenna, a second antenna, and a reflector 4. The first antenna is a broadband transparent / filtered radiating element as in Embodiment 1, and the second antenna is a high-frequency radiating array. The broadband transparent / filtered radiating element and the high-frequency radiating array are distributed on the reflector 4, the broadband transparent / filtered radiating element is placed within the high-frequency radiating array, and power is supplied from the front or back of the antenna via a cable or PCB. The high-frequency radiating array comprises a plurality of high-frequency radiating elements 3, and the high-frequency radiating elements 3 used in the high-frequency radiating array are polarization-shared dipole elements. The low-frequency radiating element operates in the frequency band of 617 MHz to 960 MHz, and the high-frequency radiating array operates in the frequency band of 2400 MHz to 3800 MHz. When the high-frequency electromagnetic waves from the second antenna are incident on the radiator of the first antenna, the transmission / filtering elements on the radiator have a filtering effect on the high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the corresponding frequency band and function as a spatial filter. As a result, the electromagnetic waves from the second antenna completely pass through the first antenna, and the transmission / filtering elements on the radiator have a transmission effect on the high-frequency electromagnetic waves.

[0039] (Example 3) As shown in Figure 12, in this embodiment, the radiation arm has a first U-type open element and a second U-type open element located on both sides of the metal straight section, with a distance between them of 0.01 to 0.03 times the wavelength of the corresponding frequency band, and both the first U-type open element and the second U-type open element in this embodiment are provided on the upper layer of the substrate. By the mirror image principle, both the first U-type open element and the second U-type open element may be provided on the lower layer of the substrate. Furthermore, it should be understood that the first U-type open element may be provided on the upper layer of the substrate and the second U-type open element on the lower layer of the substrate, or the first U-type open element may be provided on the lower layer of the substrate and the second U-type open element on the upper layer of the substrate.

[0040] (Example 4) As shown in Figure 13, in this embodiment, the radiation arm consists of a first U-type open element that is deployed in a straight line, and this first U-type open element that is deployed in a straight line is called a linear open element. The linear open element and the second U-type open element are located inside the metal straight section, and the distance between them is 0.01 to 0.03 times the wavelength of the corresponding frequency band, and in this embodiment, the linear open element and the second U-type open element are provided on the upper layer of the substrate, respectively. By the mirror image principle, both the linear open element and the second U-type open element may be provided on the lower layer of the substrate. Furthermore, it should be understood that the linear open element and the second U-type open element may also be provided outside the metal straight section.

[0041] (Example 5) As shown in Figure 14, in this embodiment, the radiation arm consists of a first U-type open element that is deployed in a straight line, and the first U-type open element that is deployed in a straight line is called a linear open element. The linear open element and the second U-type open element are located on both sides of the metal straight section, and the distance between them is 0.01 to 0.03 times the wavelength of the corresponding frequency band, and both the linear open element and the second U-type open element in this embodiment are provided on the upper layer of the substrate. By the mirror image principle, both the linear open element and the second U-type open element may be provided on the lower layer of the substrate. Furthermore, it should be understood that the linear open element may be provided on the upper layer of the substrate and the second U-type open element on the lower layer of the substrate, or the linear open element may be provided on the lower layer of the substrate and the second U-type open element on the upper layer of the substrate.

[0042] In the above embodiments 4 and 5, the U-shaped open element that is unfolded in a straight line may be a second U-shaped open element, and may be unfolded in a straight line or in the shape of other equivalent resonant circuits.

[0043] In summary, the broadband transmission / filter radiating element of the present invention has a simple structure, integrates filtering functionality while maintaining good transmission performance, and possesses significant research potential and broad application prospects. Furthermore, by providing a transmission / filter element on the radiator of the radiating element, the radiation pattern of the high-frequency radiation array can be effectively improved, and the standing wave bandwidth of the radiating element can be broadened.

[0044] Each of the technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of each of the technical features in the above embodiments have been described. However, as long as these combinations of technical features are inconsistent, they should be considered to fall within the scope described herein.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely examples of some of the embodiments of the present invention, and although their descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be understood as limiting the scope of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements as long as they do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, and all of these are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
