Background technology
In wireless mobile telecommunication technology field, the antenna as terminal is mainly used in transmitting and receiving signal.At present, wireless environment more complicated, electromagnetic wave, in wireless channel propagation process, owing to being subject to the reflection on earth's surface and barrier, refraction, loss, can produce the deflection of polarization.For this reason, main flow tracking exchage antenna many by two groups have mutually orthogonal polarised direction ± 45 ° of dual-polarization radiating units form, often organize radiating element and meet identical array features, therefore, it is possible to effectively tackle the unfavorable factors such as the polarization rotation caused because of circumstance complication.Meanwhile, because the correlation between different polarised direction channel is more weak, dual polarized antenna can produce the effect of polarization diversity.
The cross polarization discrimination of multi-antenna array is the key index determining polarization diversity effect, description be that same polarization receives the power level of (incoming level is maximum) and the difference of power level in directional diagram 3dB beamwidth of heteropolar reception (incoming level is minimum).In multi-antenna array transmitting and receiving signal process, the height of cross polarization discrimination directly determines the height that reception antenna receives wave energy.Although the mutually orthogonal radiating element of the at present many employings of tracking exchage antenna reduces the correlation between same polarization and heteropolar radiating element, but the restriction of the factor such as polarization purity, frequency range, bandwidth, beamwidth due to radiating element self, cross polarization discrimination often multi-antenna array exploitation difficult point.
