The invention relates to the field of
millimeter wave dual-polarized multi-beam antenna arrays, and particularly discloses a compact dual-polarized
millimeter wave multi-beam
antenna array, which comprises a transition structure, a dual-mode
Butler matrix and a dual-polarized antenna, the input end of the transition structure is connected with the
radio frequency interface, and the output end is connected with the input end of the dual-mode
Butler matrix; the output end of the dual-mode
Butler matrix is connected with the input end of the dual-polarized antenna; compared with the traditional discrete design, the high integration level and
miniaturization significantly reduce the physical size of the
antenna array, the coverage range of the
antenna array is expanded, a single array can replace multiple sets of
narrow beam antennas, and the number of devices is reduced;
spatial multiplexing gain is achieved, multi-user
parallel communication or multi-path transmission is supported, and the
system capacity and the spectrum efficiency are improved; the dual polarization performance is improved, the polarization
multiplexing gain is increased,
independent data streams are transmitted through two orthogonal polarization channels under the same time-frequency resource, and the spectrum efficiency can be theoretically improved by two times.
