Description
Holographic antenna beamforming, sidelobe beam cancellation, bandwidth modulation method and system
[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application number CN202310744759.X, filed with the Patent Office of China on June 25, 2023, entitled “Holographic Antenna Beamforming, Sidelobe Beam Cancellation, Bandwidth Modulation Method and System,” the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this disclosure. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a holographic antenna beamforming, sidelobe beam cancellation, and bandwidth modulation method and system, and belongs to the field of 5G millimeter wave communication and electronically controlled scanning holographic antennas. Background Art
[0003] Among the many millimeter-wave antennas, phased array antennas, with their high gain, wide-angle beam scanning, and fast beam switching, have become the mainstream antenna application for 5G millimeter-wave communications. However, phased array antennas achieve fast beam scanning characteristics by controlling the waveguide phase of the radiating elements in a large-scale antenna array. This necessitates the use of corresponding phase-shifting circuits. To compensate for the insertion loss introduced by the phase-shifting circuits, a large number of power amplifiers must be introduced, resulting in a complex phased array antenna system structure, high energy loss, high consumption, and high production costs. Moreover, in some application scenarios, the beam scanning performance of phased array antennas may overflow, further reducing the cost-effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to find an antenna that can achieve wide-angle beam scanning performance while being relatively simple in structure, low in energy consumption, and low in cost.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, a holographic antenna based on the theory of optical holography for application in the microwave frequency band was proposed. Holographic antennas generally integrate the feed source and the radiation unit on the same plane, and achieve a radiation pattern with a specific beam direction by modulating the coupling strength between the subwavelength unit and the waveguide, or by using the subwavelength unit to construct an impedance surface to modulate the surface wave. Traditional methods use subwavelength units of different sizes to achieve a continuous impedance distribution on the antenna aperture surface or use slots of different lengths to achieve a continuous distribution of the waveguide coupling strength. However, the holographic antennas constructed using these methods have a complex overall structure and can generally only radiate in a fixed direction, making it impossible to achieve beam reconfiguration, which limits the application of holographic antennas in 5G wireless communications.
[0005] Furthermore, to achieve reconfigurable holographic antennas, numerous reconfigurable holographic antennas based on RF switches such as PIN diodes and varactors, as well as those controlled by liquid crystal injection layers, have been proposed and implemented. However, achieving continuous adjustment of the radiating element state places stringent demands on the design of both the RF switches and the beamforming algorithm, making mass deployment of reconfigurable holographic antennas difficult in 5G wireless communications.

[0089] Example 1:
[0090] As shown in FIG1 , this embodiment provides a holographic antenna beamforming method, which includes the following steps:
[0091] S101: Obtain a preset beam pointing direction, a feeding structure, and multiple radiation units of a target holographic antenna.
[0092] The specific parameters of the target holographic antenna in this embodiment can be:
[0093] Center frequency 26GHz;
[0094] Operating frequency band 24.5GHz-27.5GHz;
[0095] Preset beam pointing: phi = 50 degrees, theta = 30 degrees;
[0096] Sidelobe beam pointing: phi = 50deg, theta = -25deg.
[0097] This embodiment also obtains the feeding structure and multiple radiation units of the target holographic antenna.
[0098] S102: Calculate a radiation field corresponding to a preset beam pointing direction, and perform interference calculation on the radiation field and the waveguide in the feeding structure to obtain a first holographic interference pattern.
[0099] This embodiment performs phase interference calculation on the radiation field (object wave) corresponding to the preset beam pointing and the guided wave (reference wave) in the feeding structure to obtain a first holographic interference pattern (first holographic antenna aperture field distribution); when the target holographic antenna uses the same guided wave feeding, it can achieve a target radiation pattern, which is the expected radiation pattern with the same preset beam pointing.
[0100] S103 . Discretize and quantize the first holographic interference pattern based on the position of each radiation unit to obtain a first discrete excitation intensity distribution.
[0101] In this embodiment, the first holographic interference pattern is discretized based on the position of each radiation unit, and the radiation unit is quantized according to the phase and position relationship according to formula (3). After the phase and position relationship are transformed by formula (3), they are normalized to the interval [-1, 1]. The specific steps are as follows:
[0102] S1031. Based on the two-dimensional array of the antenna radiation unit, calculate the guided wave phase difference φ1 of each radiation unit relative to the guided wave phase origin (generally preset to be the center of the antenna array).
[0103] S1032: Establish a spatial coordinate system with the center of the antenna array, and calculate the spatial distance p1 of each radiating element relative to the origin and the angle between the radiating element and the x-axis according to the position (x, y) of each radiating element in the coordinate plane. As shown in formulas (1) and (2) respectively:
[0104] S1033. Based on the existing parameters, the difference between the phase value of the coupled waveguide of each radiating unit and the phase of the radiation field directed by the preset beam is obtained, and the difference is converted to the interval [-1, 1]. The contribution of each radiating unit to the preset beam direction can be characterized by the first discrete excitation intensity in formula (3), as follows:
[0105] in, Represents the phase constant in free space, and the vector direction is the target radiation field direction. The polar coordinate vector representing the position of the radiation unit; φ1 represents the waveguide phase difference of the radiation unit relative to the reference waveguide phase origin; A1 represents the first discrete excitation intensity of each radiation unit.
[0106] By analogy, the present embodiment can obtain the first discrete excitation intensity of each radiation unit, that is, obtain the first discrete excitation intensity distribution on the radiation surface of the target holographic antenna.
[0107] S104 , performing threshold judgment on the first discrete excitation intensity distribution to obtain a first digital matrix.
[0108] In this embodiment, a preset threshold is set, and then a threshold decision is performed on the first discrete excitation intensity of each radiation unit according to the preset threshold, thereby obtaining a first decision result of each radiation unit.
[0109] When the threshold is positive, the threshold decision formula is as follows:
[0110] When the threshold is negative, the threshold decision formula is as follows:
[0111] Wherein, T1 represents a threshold value, A1 represents a first discrete excitation intensity of each radiation unit, A′1 represents a first judgment result of each radiation unit, 1 represents that the radiation unit is in a working state, and 0 represents that the radiation unit is in a non-working state.
[0112] The preset threshold in this embodiment is 0.28, so the first threshold decision formula is adopted, and each radiation unit repeatedly executes the threshold decision formula until the first decision result of each radiation unit is obtained, and the first digital matrix is generated using the first decision result of each radiation unit.
[0113] In this embodiment, after all radiation points on the first holographic interference pattern are described by "0" and "1", the interference pattern can be described by a first digital matrix composed of 0 / 1, thereby forming a first digital holographic interference pattern.
[0114] S105. Obtain a first radiation pattern of the target holographic antenna according to the first digital matrix.
[0115] According to the first digital matrix, the modeling and simulation of the target holographic antenna structure are guided to obtain a first radiation pattern.
[0116] The first digital matrix obtained in this embodiment is shown in FIG2 ; the gap unit distribution diagram corresponding to the first digital matrix is shown in FIG3 ; the first radiation pattern of the holographic antenna corresponding to the first digital matrix is shown in FIG4 .
[0117] Example 2:
[0118] As shown in FIG5 , this embodiment provides a method for canceling sidelobe beams of a holographic antenna, which includes the following steps:
[0119] S501. Select a target sidelobe according to a first radiation pattern of a target holographic antenna, obtain the sidelobe beam pointing direction of the target sidelobe, and obtain a feeding structure and a plurality of radiation units of the target holographic antenna.
[0120] As shown in FIG4 , this embodiment selects the target side lobe to be suppressed according to the first radiation pattern, and records the beam angle information of the target side lobe as the input value of the following steps; this embodiment also obtains the feeding structure and multiple radiation units of the target holographic antenna.
[0121] S502 , calculating a radiation field in which the side lobe beam points to the main beam and has an inverted phase, and performing interference calculation on the radiation field and the guided wave in the feeding structure to obtain a second holographic interference pattern.
[0122] In order to suppress the target side lobes, this embodiment derives a radiation field with the side lobe beam pointing as the main beam pointing and the phase being inverted, and performs phase interference calculation on the radiation field and the guided wave in the feeding structure to obtain a second holographic interference pattern (second holographic antenna aperture field distribution).
[0123] S503 : Based on the position of each radiation unit, discretize and quantize the second holographic interference pattern to obtain a second discrete excitation intensity distribution.
[0124] Step S503 of this embodiment is substantially the same as step S103 of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the second discrete excitation intensity of the radiation unit is calculated and expressed as follows:
[0125] in, Represents the phase constant in free space, and the vector direction is the target radiation field direction. represents the polar coordinate vector of the position of the radiation unit, φ2 represents the waveguide phase difference of the radiation unit relative to the reference waveguide phase origin, and A2 represents the second discrete excitation intensity of each radiation unit.
[0126] Finally, this embodiment can calculate the second discrete excitation intensity of each radiation unit, that is, the second discrete excitation intensity distribution on the radiation surface of the target holographic antenna.
[0127] S504 , performing threshold judgment on the second discrete excitation intensity distribution to obtain a second digital matrix.
[0128] Step S504 of this embodiment is substantially the same as step S104 of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the second judgment result of the radiation unit is obtained, which is expressed as follows:
[0129] Wherein, T2 represents a threshold, A2 represents a second discrete excitation intensity of each radiation unit, A′2 represents a second judgment result of each radiation unit, 1 represents that the radiation unit is in a working state, and 0 represents that the radiation unit is in a non-working state.
[0130] In this embodiment, the remaining radiation units repeatedly execute the above threshold decision formula until a second decision result of each radiation unit is obtained, and a second digital matrix is generated using the second decision result of each radiation unit, as shown in FIG6 .
[0131] After all radiation points on the second holographic interference pattern in this embodiment are described by '0' and '1', the interference pattern can be described by a second digital matrix consisting of 0 / 1, thereby forming a second digital holographic interference pattern.
[0132] This embodiment can generate a second digital matrix with the same sidelobe beam pointing to the same direction and opposite phase as the first radiation pattern (original target pattern), and the second digital matrix can be used to control the working and non-working states of the radiation unit in the holographic antenna, so that the generated radiation field can offset the sidelobe energy outside the main beam radiation, thereby significantly reducing the sidelobe level.
[0133] S505 , performing a mathematical operation on the first digital matrix and the second digital matrix to obtain a modified digital matrix.
[0134] The first digital matrix in this embodiment can be obtained through Example 1.
[0135] In this embodiment, a logical "OR" operation is performed on the first digital matrix and the second digital matrix to obtain a modified digital matrix with a sidelobe suppression effect, as shown in the following formula: A'0 = A'1||A'2||A'3||...|A' n (8);
[0136] Wherein, A′0 represents the final decision result of each radiating unit in the corrected digital matrix, corresponding to the final radiation field; A′1 represents the first decision result of each radiating unit in the first digital matrix, corresponding to the main lobe radiation field pointed by the target beam; A′2 represents the second decision result of each radiating unit in the second digital matrix, corresponding to the first side lobe radiation field pointed by the target beam; A′3 represents the third decision result of each radiating unit in the third digital matrix, corresponding to the second side lobe radiation field pointed by the target beam; A′ n It represents the nth decision result of each radiation unit in the nth digital matrix, corresponding to the n-1th sidelobe radiation field pointed by the target beam.
[0137] S506 , achieving sidelobe beam cancellation of the target holographic antenna according to the corrected digital matrix, and simultaneously obtaining a second radiation pattern of the target holographic antenna.
[0138] According to the corrected digital matrix, the modeling and simulation of the target holographic antenna structure are guided to obtain the second radiation pattern.
[0139] The corrected digital matrix obtained in this embodiment is shown in FIG7 ; the gap unit distribution diagram corresponding to the corrected digital matrix is shown in FIG8 ; the second radiation pattern of the holographic antenna corresponding to the corrected digital matrix is shown in FIG9 .
[0140] Example 3:
[0141] As shown in FIG10 , this embodiment provides a holographic antenna multi-beamforming and design method. The method is mainly implemented using the holographic antenna sidelobe beam cancellation method of Example 2, and includes the following steps:
[0142] S1001. Based on the first beam radiation pattern of the target holographic antenna, select a second beam radiation pattern, obtain the beam pointing direction of the second beam radiation pattern, and obtain the feeding structure and multiple radiation units of the target holographic antenna.
[0143] S1002: Calculate the radiation field with the beam pointing of the second beam radiation pattern as the main beam pointing, and perform interference calculation on the radiation field and the waveguide in the feeding structure to obtain a second beam pointing holographic interference pattern.
[0144] S1003 : Based on the position of each radiation unit, discretize and quantize the second beam pointing holographic interference pattern to obtain a second beam pointing discrete excitation intensity distribution.
[0145] S1004: Perform threshold judgment on the second beam pointing discrete excitation intensity distribution to obtain a second beam pointing digital matrix.
[0146] S1005 , performing a logical “OR” operation on the first beam pointing digital matrix and the second beam pointing digital matrix to obtain a modified digital matrix.
[0147] S1006. Based on the corrected digital matrix, the multi-beam antenna shaping and design of the target holographic antenna are realized, and the multi-beam radiation pattern of the target holographic antenna is obtained.
[0148] It can be seen that step S1002 of this embodiment is "calculating the radiation field with the beam pointing of the second beam radiation pattern as the main beam pointing". Compared with step S502 of embodiment 2 "calculating the radiation field with the side lobe beam pointing as the main beam pointing and the phase being inverted", there is no need to perform a phase reversal operation.
[0149] Example 4:
[0150] As shown in FIG11 , this embodiment provides a method for modulating the actual bandwidth of a holographic antenna, the method comprising the following steps:
[0151] S1101. According to the first radiation pattern of the target holographic antenna, the preset beam pointing remains unchanged, a second bandwidth-modulated radiation pattern is selected, the preset beam pointing of the second bandwidth-modulated radiation pattern is obtained, and a feeding structure and a plurality of radiation units are obtained.
[0152] The specific parameters of the target holographic antenna in this embodiment can be:
[0153] Operating frequency band: 24.5GHz-27.5GHz;
[0154] Preset beam pointing: phi = 30 degrees, theta = 30 degrees;
[0155] The center frequency f0 of the first radiation pattern is 26.5 GHz;
[0156] The center frequency f1 of the second bandwidth modulation radiation pattern is 27 GHz.
[0157] According to the first radiation pattern of the target holographic antenna, the center frequency is f1 and the pattern bandwidth is [f1,f H1 To further expand the radiation pattern bandwidth, the preset beam pointing remains unchanged, and a second bandwidth-modulated radiation pattern with a center frequency of f2 is selected. The preset beam pointing of the second bandwidth-modulated radiation pattern is obtained, and a feed structure and multiple radiating elements are obtained.
[0158] As shown in FIG14 , this embodiment selects the frequency position of the radiation pattern bandwidth to be expanded according to the first radiation pattern, and records the relevant information of the frequency position as the input value of the following steps; this embodiment also obtains the feeding structure and multiple radiation units of the target holographic antenna.
[0159] S1102: Calculate the interference between the radiation field corresponding to the second bandwidth-modulated radiation pattern and the waveguide in the feeding structure to obtain a second bandwidth-modulated holographic interference pattern.
[0160] This embodiment derives the radiation field corresponding to the second bandwidth-modulated radiation pattern and performs interference calculation on the radiation field and the guided wave in the feed structure to obtain a second bandwidth-modulated holographic interference pattern (second bandwidth-modulated holographic antenna aperture field distribution). It should be noted that both the radiation field and the guided wave in the feed structure should be calculated with the center frequency f2.
[0161] S1103 . Discretize and quantize the second bandwidth-modulated holographic interference pattern based on the position of each radiation unit to obtain a second bandwidth-modulated discrete excitation intensity distribution.
