The invention provides a 1bit
circular polarization reconfigurable transmission unit, which belongs to the field of low
orbit satellite communication and comprises a
radiation patch, a first
dielectric substrate, a grounding plate, a second
dielectric substrate, a biasing circuit, a third
dielectric substrate and a receiving patch which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, a single side of the
radiation patch is slotted and is connected to a first
capacitor disc in the center of the grounding plate through a metalized through hole in the center of the first
dielectric substrate, an internal patch of the receiving patch is connected to a second
capacitor disc through a metalized through hole in the center of the third
dielectric substrate, and the second
capacitor disc is located on the third
dielectric substrate and is connected to the biasing circuit. The external patch of the receiving patch is connected to the biasing circuit through a metalized through hole, and the internal patch and the external patch are bridged through two PIN diodes with the same orientation; the invention further provides an array antenna. Metallized via holes are replaced by capacitor disc
coupling, complexity and cost are greatly reduced,
structural symmetry is broken through single-side slotting of the
radiation patches, conversion efficiency of linearly polarized
waves is improved during array forming, and
circular polarization performance is improved.
