The invention discloses an ultra-
wideband small
radio frequency antenna for PE
pipe detection, and relates to the technical field of antennas. The antenna comprises an insulating medium substrate and a
radiation structure arranged on the front surface of the insulating medium substrate. The
radiation structure comprises a main
radiation patch formed by an index gradual change slot line, an annular patch arranged at an interval with the
tail end of the main radiation patch, and a strip-shaped patch arranged at an interval with the annular patch. The
resistor element comprises a first
resistor, a second
resistor and a third resistor, and the main radiation patch is connected with the annular patch through the first resistor; a radiation part of the antenna forms a
specific resistance loading network through a radiation structure and a resistance element, and a slot line feed structure feeds energy, so that
resonance with lower frequency can be effectively excited, and the low-frequency
cut-off frequency of the antenna is reduced, which is crucial for detecting a deep target; therefore, the
input impedance of the antenna is very stable in the whole ultra-
wideband, the energy transmission efficiency is ensured, and the
gain and efficiency of the antenna are gradually increased.
