[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1, a schematic diagram of the structure of a Beidou antenna provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The Beidou antenna 10 includes a first antenna element 11 and a second antenna element 12 arranged in a stacked manner. The first antenna element 11 is in the shape of a truncated cone with a base diameter larger than a top diameter. It includes a first fixed body 111 and at least one first radiator 112 (four of which are identified in Figure 1). Each first radiator 112 is spirally fixed to the first fixed body 111 in a clockwise manner. The second antenna element 12 is in the shape of a cylinder and includes a second fixed body 121 and at least one second radiator 122 (only one of which is identified in Figure 1). Each second radiator 122 is spirally fixed to the second fixed body 121 in a counterclockwise manner.

[0036] Each component is introduced below.

[0037] The first antenna element 11 is truncated cone-shaped, with a larger diameter at the bottom than at the top. It includes a first fixed body 111 and at least one first radiator 112. The first fixed body 111 can be a flexible printed circuit (FPC), also known as a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), a highly reliable printed circuit board made from a polyimide or polyester film substrate. The first radiator 112 is fixed to the first fixed body 111 in a clockwise spiral and is designed to receive right-handed electromagnetic wave signals. The first radiator 112 can receive electromagnetic wave signals across a wide range of frequency bands, including those in the Beidou short message communication band and the Beidou navigation and positioning band, such as B1 (1575.42±16.368MHz), B2a (1176.45±10.23MHz), B2b (1207.14MHz±10.23MHz), and B3 (1268.52±10.23MHz). The first radiator 112 may be made of metal, alloy, or ceramic, and there is no specific limitation. The number of first radiators 112 may be one or more, and there is no specific limitation. In the example of FIG1 , there are four first radiators 112 .

[0038] The second antenna element 12 is cylindrical and includes a second fixed body 121 and at least one second radiator 122. The second fixed body 121 may be an FPC. The second radiator 122 is fixed to the second fixed body 121 in a counterclockwise spiral and is configured to emit left-handed electromagnetic wave signals. The second radiator 122 can transmit electromagnetic wave signals across a wide frequency range, including the Beidou short message communication frequency band. The material of the second radiator 122 may be metal, alloy, or ceramic, without specific limitation. The number of second radiators 122 may be one or more, without specific limitation. In the example of Figure 1, there are four second radiators 122.

[0039] It should be noted that in the example of Figure 1, the second antenna array 12 is located above the first antenna array 11. In other examples, the first antenna array 11 may be located above the second antenna array 12. The present invention does not specifically limit the relative position of the second antenna array 12 and the first antenna array 11.

[0040] In the above scheme, the Beidou antenna can receive and transmit electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou short message communication frequency band, thus realizing the communication function. In addition, the Beidou antenna can also receive electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou navigation and positioning frequency band, thus realizing the high-precision navigation and positioning function, because this scheme can realize both the communication function and the high-precision navigation and positioning function.

[0041] Optionally, the diameter of the bottom of the first fixed body 111 ranges from 80 mm to 110 mm, and the diameter of the top of the first fixed body 111 ranges from 30 mm to 40 mm. The specific values ​​of the diameter of the bottom and top of the first fixed body 111 can be determined through simulation based on the required antenna dimensions and actual performance. In one possible implementation, the diameter of the bottom of the first fixed body 111 is 108 mm, and the diameter of the top of the first fixed body 111 is 38 mm.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, by setting the above parameters (the diameter of the bottom of the first fixed body 111, the diameter of the top of the first fixed body 111, and the height of the first fixed body), the first antenna element can receive electromagnetic wave signals in a wider frequency band, that is, it can receive electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou short message communication frequency band and electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou navigation and positioning frequency band, thereby enabling the Beidou antenna to simultaneously realize communication functions and high-precision navigation and positioning functions.

[0043] Optionally, each first radiator 112 is fixed to the first fixed body in a clockwise spiral at a first spiral angle, wherein the first spiral angle ranges from [30° to 60°], thereby enabling the first antenna element 11 to receive right-handed electromagnetic wave signals over a wide frequency range. In one possible implementation, the first spiral angle is 35°.

[0044] Optionally, the width of the starting end of each first radiator 112 is greater than the width of the ending end of the first radiator 112. The width of the starting end of the first radiator 112 ranges from [30 mm, 40 mm], and the width of the ending end of the first radiator 112 ranges from [15 mm, 20 mm]. It should be noted that the starting end of the first radiator 112 is located at the bottom of the side surface of the first fixed body 111, and the ending end of the first radiator 112 is located at the top of the side surface of the first fixed body 111.

[0045] In a possible implementation, the width of the starting end of the first radiator 112 is 38 mm, and the width of the ending end of the first radiator 112 is 16 mm.

[0046] In the present invention, the width of the first radiator 112 is set to gradually narrow from the starting end, so that the Beidou antenna has a higher frequency band and achieves high gain, effectively improving the transmission efficiency of electromagnetic wave signals.

[0047] Continuing with FIG1 , optionally, the first antenna element 11 includes N first radiators 112 , where N is an even number and arranged sequentially from bottom to top of the first antenna element 11 . The Beidou antenna 10 also includes N first feeding points 13 (two of which are identified in FIG1 ) corresponding one-to-one to the N first radiators. The signals at the N first feeding points 13 have equal amplitudes and phases that differ by 90° in a clockwise direction. The N first feeding points 13 are axially symmetrically distributed.

[0048] In the example shown in Figure 1 , the first antenna element 11 includes four first radiators 112 arranged sequentially from bottom to top of the first antenna element 11. The Beidou antenna 10 also includes four first feeding points 13 corresponding to each of the four first radiators. The signals at these four first feeding points 13 have equal amplitudes and phases that differ by 90° in a clockwise direction. The four first feeding points 13 are arranged axially symmetrically.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, an even number of first feeding points are provided so that the first feeding points can be evenly distributed in an axisymmetric manner, thereby reducing reflection of electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou antenna.

[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 1. Optionally, the Beidou antenna also includes a first circuit board 14, which is located at the bottom of the first antenna element 11; the first circuit board 14 includes a first feeding network, which is connected to the first radiator 112 through the first feeding point 13, and is used to process the first signal received by the first radiator.

[0051] The thickness of the first circuit board 14 is in the range of [0.9 mm, 2 mm]. The first circuit board 14 may be a printed circuit board (PCB). A printed circuit board is a circuit board manufactured using electronic printing technology and is used to connect and support electronic components. It has advantages such as high stability, high reliability, and ease of maintenance.

[0052] In one example, FIG2 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a first feeding network provided by an embodiment of the present invention, taking the first antenna element 11 as including four first radiators 112 and the Beidou antenna 10 as including four first feeding points 13 corresponding one-to-one to the four first radiators. The first feeding network includes a first phase shifter, a second phase shifter, a third phase shifter, a 1 / 4λ phase shifter (λ is a wavelength of electromagnetic waves propagating in a vacuum), and a low-noise amplifier module. The first phase shifter can be a 3dB phase shifter, the second phase shifter can be a 3dB phase shifter, and the third phase shifter can be a 3dB phase shifter. The second and third phase shifters divide the electromagnetic wave signals received from the first radiator 112 into a 3-port signal, a 4-port signal, a 5-port signal, and a 6-port signal. The 3-port signal through the 6-port signal have the same amplitude, and the 3-port signal has a 90-degree phase delay compared to the 4-port signal. The 4-port signal has a 90-degree phase delay compared to the 5-port signal, and the 5-port signal has a 90-degree phase delay compared to the 6-port signal. In this embodiment of the present invention, by setting the amplitudes of the various port signals to be the same and the phases to be 90 degrees delayed, the first feeding network can process right-handed electromagnetic wave signals received by the first radiator.

[0053] Specifically, when the first antenna element 11 is operating, in the first feed network, the input signal from the Input 1 port to the first feed network is split into two signals of equal amplitude and a 90° phase difference (the 1-port signal and the 2-port signal). The 1-port signal then passes through a second phase shifter and is split into two signals of equal amplitude and a 90° phase delay (the 3-port signal and the 4-port signal). The 2-port signal passes through a 1 / 4λ phase shifter and then a third phase shifter, splitting it into two signals of equal amplitude and a 90° phase delay (the 5-port signal and the 6-port signal). The amplitudes of the 3-port signal and the 6-port signal are equal, and the phases are sequentially delayed by 90°. The first feed network completes the operation of the Beidou antenna's four feed sources.

[0054] Optionally, the diameter of the bottom of the second fixed body 121 ranges from 25 mm to 30 mm. The specific value of the diameter of the bottom of the second fixed body 121 can be determined through simulation based on the antenna's size requirements and actual performance. In one possible embodiment, the diameter of the bottom of the second fixed body 121 is 28 mm.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, by setting the parameters of the diameter of the bottom of the second fixed body 121, the second antenna array can transmit electromagnetic wave signals in a wider frequency band, including electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou short message communication frequency band, so that the Beidou antenna can realize the communication function.

[0056] Optionally, each second radiator 122 is fixed to the second fixing body 121 in a counterclockwise spiral at a second spiral angle, and the range of the second spiral angle is [30°, 60°].

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second radiator is fixed in a counterclockwise spiral at a second spiral angle, so that the second antenna array can emit left-handed electromagnetic wave signals. Since the first antenna array is used to receive right-handed electromagnetic wave signals, the Beidou antenna in the present invention receives right-handed electromagnetic wave signals and emits left-handed electromagnetic wave signals, so that the two signals are transmitted along different polarization directions, respectively, reducing interference between signals and realizing dual polarization of the Beidou antenna.

[0058] Optionally, the width of the starting end of each second radiator 122 is greater than or equal to the width of the ending end of the second radiator 122. The width of the starting end of the second radiator 122 is in the range of [3 mm, 4 mm], and the width of the ending end of the second radiator 122 is in the range of [3 mm, 4 mm]. It should be noted that the starting end of the second radiator 122 is located at the bottom of the side surface of the second fixed body 121, and the ending end of the second radiator 122 is located at the top of the side surface of the second fixed body 121.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the width of the starting end of the first radiator 112 is 4 mm, and the width of the ending end of the first radiator 112 is 3 mm; in another possible implementation, the width of the starting end of the first radiator 112 is 4 mm, and the width of the ending end of the first radiator 112 is 4 mm.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the width of the second radiator 122 is set to gradually narrow from the starting end, so that the Beidou antenna has a higher frequency band and achieves high gain, effectively improving the transmission efficiency of electromagnetic wave signals.

[0061] Continuing with FIG1 , the second antenna array 12 optionally includes M second radiators 122 , where M is an even number and arranged sequentially from bottom to top of the second antenna array 12 . The Beidou antenna 10 also includes M second feeding points 15 (only one of which is shown in FIG1 ) corresponding one-to-one to each of the M second radiators 122 . The signals at the M second feeding points 15 have equal amplitudes and phases that differ by 90° in a counterclockwise direction. The M second feeding points 15 are axially symmetrically distributed.

[0062] Continuing with reference to FIG1 , optionally, the Beidou antenna further includes a second circuit board 16 , which is located at the bottom of the second antenna array; the second circuit board 16 includes a second feeding network, which is connected to the second radiator 122 through a second feeding point 15 , for processing the second signal and forwarding the processed second signal to the second radiator.

[0063] The thickness of the second circuit board 16 is in the range of [0.9 mm, 2 mm]. The second circuit board 16 may be a printed circuit board. The detailed description of the printed circuit board can be found above and will not be repeated here.

[0064] In one example, the second antenna array 12 includes two second radiators 122, and the Beidou antenna 10 also includes two second feed points 15 corresponding one-to-one with the two second radiators 122. FIG3 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a second feed network provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The second feed network includes a power amplifier module and a fourth phase shifter. The fourth phase shifter can be a 3dB phase shifter. The second feed network processes the second signal, and the processing process is as follows:

[0065] The second signal input from the Input2 port is divided into two signals (7-port signal and 8-port signal) with equal amplitude and a phase difference of 90° through the fourth phase shifter. The amplitudes of the signals from the 7-port signal to the 8-port signal are equal and the phases differ by 90° respectively. The processed second signal is then forwarded to the second radiator 122.

[0066] Continuing with Figure 1 , the Beidou antenna optionally includes a support column 17 , which is used to secure the first antenna element 11 and the second antenna element 12 and also facilitates signal transmission. Support column 17 may be a semi-rigid cable. A semi-rigid cable is a coaxial transmission line composed of a metal tube, capable of transmitting high-frequency signals. The metal tube is typically made of copper, forming the outer conductor, with a metal wire conductor located in the center.

[0067] Optionally, the Beidou antenna also includes a radome, as shown in Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a radome according to an embodiment of the present invention. The radome surrounds the first and second antenna elements, providing a structural weatherproof enclosure that protects the Beidou antenna and external electronic equipment from external environmental influences such as rain, sunlight, and wind.

[0068] In embodiments of the present invention, the Beidou antenna is capable of optimally receiving and transmitting electromagnetic wave signals. Figure 5 shows a directional pattern of a Beidou antenna receiving electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou navigation and positioning frequency band. The Beidou antenna receives right-handed electromagnetic wave signals at a frequency of 1.268 GHz, and its antenna gain is 5.1024 dBi. In practical applications, a higher antenna gain indicates better antenna performance. Typically, an antenna with an antenna gain greater than 0.7 dBi can be used. This indicates that the Beidou antenna of the present invention is capable of optimally receiving electromagnetic wave signals.

[0069] Figure 6 shows a directional pattern of a Beidou antenna receiving electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou navigation and positioning frequency band. The Beidou antenna receives right-handed electromagnetic wave signals at a frequency of 1.576 GHz, and its antenna gain is 5.8678 dBi. It can be concluded that the Beidou antenna of the present invention is capable of receiving electromagnetic wave signals well.

[0070] Figure 7 shows the directional pattern of a Beidou antenna receiving electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou short message communication frequency band. The Beidou antenna receives right-handed electromagnetic wave signals at a frequency of 2.492 GHz, and its antenna gain is 4.2767 dBi. It can be concluded that the Beidou antenna of the present invention is capable of receiving electromagnetic wave signals well.

[0071] Figure 8 shows the directional pattern of a Beidou antenna transmitting electromagnetic wave signals in the Beidou short message communication frequency band. The Beidou antenna transmits a left-handed electromagnetic wave signal at a frequency of 1.616 GHz, and its antenna gain is 5.8862 dBi. It can be concluded that the Beidou antenna of the present invention is capable of transmitting electromagnetic wave signals preferably.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.
