Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sheet metal stamping vibrators in 5G Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) base station antennas face challenges in optimizing the cross polarization ratio without compromising the lightweight requirement of the base station antenna structure.

Innovation Solution

The antenna vibrator design includes a radiation board with bent support and bending portions, hollowed-out holes, and optimized dimensions to enhance isolation and cross polarization ratio without additional boundary conditions, achieved through stamping processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a boundary condition (such as a sheet metal) is added to a sub-array to optimize the cross polarization ratio, then the cross polarization ratio is improved, but the lightweight requirement of the base station antenna structure cannot be met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross polarization ratioVSAvoidbase station antenna structure weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The radiation board is divided into multiple functional regions: a feeding region for signal input, a radiation region for electromagnetic wave emission, and an isolation region with ground patterns for reducing interference. This segmentation allows each region to perform its specific function optimally without requiring additional heavy boundary conditions, achieving cross-polarization ratio improvement through internal structural optimization rather than external additions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the radiation board are designed with locally optimized characteristics. The isolation region contains specific ground patterns with particular geometric shapes and distributions tailored to reduce interference in that specific area. The bending portions are strategically positioned to create local electromagnetic field distribution that improves overall cross-polarization performance without adding weight throughout the entire structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the radiation board is designed with bending portions and hollowed-out holes to optimize isolation, then the cross polarization ratio is improved, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveisolation performanceVSAvoidradiation board structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bending portions and hollowed-out holes are integrated into a single radiation board component rather than being separate parts. The ground patterns are directly formed on the isolation region of the same board that provides radiation functions. This merging reduces the number of discrete components and assembly steps while achieving the desired isolation performance through the unified structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The bending portions create curved three-dimensional structures from the flat radiation board. These bending portions extend outward to form isolation structures that provide electromagnetic shielding and reduce interference between antenna elements. The curved geometry achieves better isolation performance compared to flat structures while maintaining a relatively simple single-piece construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

AI summary

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an antenna vibrator and an antenna, and the antenna vibrator includes a radiation board. A partial region of the radiation board is bent downwards to form a plurality of support portions and a plurality of corresponding first hollowed-out holes, and a region between two adjacent first hollowed-out holes is bent downwards to form a plurality of bending portions and a plurality of corresponding second hollowed-out holes. The support portion serves to support and connect. At the same time, by forming the bending portion and the second hollowed-out hole on the radiation board, the isolation of the vibrator is optimized, and the cross polarization ratio after the vibrator being arrayed may meet conventional index without adding a boundary condition.
