The invention discloses a directional diagram reconfigurable
dielectric resonant antenna based on a complementary source, which belongs to the technical field of
wireless communication and comprises a
dielectric resonator, a
perforated metal ground, a
dielectric substrate and a reconfigurable
feed network from top to bottom. And the four
metal columns are embedded in the
dielectric resonator and penetrate through the
metal ground to be connected with the
feed network. The
feed network comprises an input
microstrip line, a central circular patch, four orthogonally distributed reconfigurable feed
microstrip lines and an open-circuit matching
branch, and each
branch is connected in series with a
PIN diode. By controlling the on-off combination of the five PIN diodes, the
dielectric resonator can be excited to generate TEmode equivalent magnetic dipoles in different directions, and the TEmode equivalent magnetic dipoles and the equivalent electric dipoles of the
metal columns jointly form a magnetoelectric complementary source, so that eight high-
gain wave beam pointing switching at 45-degree intervals is realized in an omnibearing plane. Wherein the matching
branch is accessed in a specific state to optimize
impedance matching. The antenna has the advantages of compact structure, electric tuning,
wide band and multi-
beam scanning.
