The invention provides a near-field feed low-complexity
reconfigurable antenna system, which belongs to the technical field of
millimeter wave communication antennas and comprises a 1-bit
phased array, a
waveguide feed horn array and an air gap between the 1-bit
phased array and the
waveguide feed horn array. The 1-bit unit is composed of two magnetoelectric dipoles, and two diodes are integrated in the receiving unit to achieve 1-bit
phase control. According to the 1-bit reconfigurable magnetoelectric
dipole phased array disclosed by the invention, one horn
mouth surface is used as a near-field feed source of the 2 * 2 magnetoelectric
dipole sub-array, so that not only is the uniformity of aperture
irradiation ensured through near-field
coupling, but also the number of required phase shifters is reduced, and the excitation of the 1-bit reconfigurable magnetoelectric
dipole phased array is conveniently realized. The
waveguide phase shifter is directly integrated in the horn array antenna, by means of the working phase range wide enough, the phase shifter can effectively achieve phase distribution needed by array near-field feed, and mirror lobes in scanning beams are successfully suppressed. The
reconfigurable array antenna is high in aperture efficiency, low in profile and simple in structure, and has the
broadband scanning capability.
