Load the wide-beam circularly-polarizedmicrostrip microstrip antenna of parasitic annulus
Technical field
The present invention relates to circular polarization satellite positioning navigation antenna, particularly relate to the wide-beam circularly-polarizedmicrostrip microstrip antenna loading parasitic annulus.
Background technology
At present, global positioning satellite navigation has become the industry of a high speed development, the service range of triones navigation system that China is set up voluntarily is estimated covering the whole world within Future Ten year, and as wireless communication system throat thoroughfare---circular polarized antenna plays vital effect to this system.
According to the operation principle of satellite navigation system, in the middle of the signal of vertical plane, maximum to system accuracy contribution is low elevation signals near ground, though zenith signal is easy to launching and receiving, little to positioning action.Like this, in order to improve the positioning precision of system, General Requirements circular polarized antenna has higher low elevation gain (namely wider vertical plane lobe width), especially for current dipper system, satellite is fewer, harsh requirement is proposed to the low elevation gain of antenna, but current flat circle poliarizing antenna ubiquity causes the problem of low elevation gain deficiency because vertical plane lobe width is narrower.
Four-arm spiral antenna and plane microstrip antenna can form hemispheric circular polarization wave beam, are two kinds of antenna structure forms that global position system is commonly used.Four-arm spiral antenna has wider vertical plane lobe width, but its section is higher, and needs extra feeding network, complex structure, and operating efficiency is not high.
Microstrip antenna, owing to having low section, the easy of integration and batch advantages such as consistency is good, obtains and applies more and more widely.Generally, the vertical plane lobe width of microstrip antenna is narrower, is about 70 °-90 °, is difficult to meet low elevation angle index request higher in practical application.
In order to increase the vertical plane lobe width of microstrip antenna, the simplest way reduces the size on floor and increases the dielectric constant of substrate, but the effect of these two kinds of methods is very limited, and the problem that work efficiency drop, production difficulty and cost increase etc. can be brought new.In addition, effectively can increase lobe width by the method loading conical round table, thus improve low elevation gain, but fundamentally can change the characteristic of the low section of plane microstrip antenna.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, the present invention is more specifically described in detail.
Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 shows, the present invention loads the wide-beam circularly-polarizedmicrostrip microstrip antenna of parasitic annulus, comprise upper substrate 1, infrabasal plate 2, fixed leg 6,7,8,9 is provided with between upper substrate 1 and infrabasal plate 2, the upper surface of described infrabasal plate 2 is provided with main radiating element 4, the upper surface of upper substrate 1 is provided with parasitic annulus chip unit 3, and the bottom surface of infrabasal plate 2 is provided with floor 10.Excitation port 5 is provided with between described main radiating element 4 and floor 10.Fixed leg 6,7,8,9 can adopt insulation pillar or metal pillar.
Main radiating element 4 is by a circular patch and be positioned at circular patch a pair rectangle outward flange projection 4-1 diametrically and form.Described outward flange projection 4-1 and excitation port 5 angle formed by the circle centre position of circular patch is 45 °.
The shape of described main radiating element 4 is any one in circular, oval, rectangle or triangle.But in actual applications, as long as the radiance of circular polarization can be produced.Outward flange projection 4-1 also can change into cave inward, corner cut or add perturbation resistance etc. on paster, also can reach effect same.
The girth of described parasitic annulus chip unit 3 is greater than two wavelength.When its length is less than two wavelength, induced signal on parasitic annulus chip unit 3 is in " capacitive ", and the phase place of radiated electromagnetic wave is ahead of the primary radiation paster 4 of below, so parasitic annulus chip unit 3 is as sender, play increase on-axis gain, reduce the effect of back lobe.When its length is slightly larger than two wavelength, on the annulus paster of parasitic annulus chip unit 3, induced signal is in " perception ", the phase place of radiated electromagnetic wave lags behind the main radiating element 4 of below, so parasitic annulus chip unit 3 is as antenna reflector, play suppression on-axis gain, increase the effect of low elevation angle place's gain.
The vertical range of upper substrate 1 and infrabasal plate 2 should not be too large, otherwise overall section is higher, recommends to be less than half wavelength.By regulating the parasitic diameter of annulus chip unit 3 annulus paster and the vertical range between upper substrate 1 and infrabasal plate 2, can control antenna antenna pattern easily, realize the optimum efficiency that will reach.
Described main radiating element 4, parasitic annulus chip unit 3 and floor 10, the mode all by printing is combined with upper substrate 1 and infrabasal plate 2.
Main radiating element 4, mainly in order to produce circular polarization radiation characteristic.For traditional circular polarization microstrip antenna, vertical plane 3dB lobe width generally between 70 ° to 90 °, in fact row further widen more difficult.And in existing flat circle poliarizing antenna design, be mainly devoted to impedance bandwidth and axial ratio bandwidth how to widen antenna, almost do not consider the vertical plane lobe width how increasing antenna.Antenna in the present invention, on the basis of traditional planar microstrip paster structure, by introducing annulus paster parasitic element 3, can widen the vertical plane lobe width of antenna effectively.Traditional micro-strip paster antenna has the maximum and hemisphere characteristic that is that reduce gradually to horizontal plane of zenith signal, and annulus paster antenna has the minimum and wheel the form of the foetus characteristic that is that increase gradually to horizontal plane of zenith signal, therefore by the directional diagram of superposition annulus paster antenna, the zenith signal of conventional microsthp patch antennas can be reduced, increase the low elevation gain near horizontal plane, thus effectively widen the lobe width of vertical plane.
The structure that the present invention proposes, when less on the impact of antenna low section characteristic, widens the vertical plane lobe width of antenna significantly.Because parasitic annulus chip unit 3 has good symmetry, and be positioned at directly over main radiating element 4, energy be coupled like this can be evenly distributed on the annulus of parasitic annulus chip unit 3, and the far-field pattern therefore after superposition can keep originally good omnidirectional's characteristic.
The present invention is by regulating distance between the diameter of parasitic annulus chip unit 3 and upper substrate 1, infrabasal plate 2 can the vertical plane lobe width of control antenna effectively.
In order to better the present invention is described, Fig. 4 gives the dextrorotation gain curve loading antenna before and after parasitic annulus chip unit 3.
As mentioned above, just the present invention can be realized preferably.
