Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of horn antenna, especially a kind of thin substrate line of rabbet joint plane horn antenna.
Background technology
Horn antenna has a wide range of applications in the systems such as satellite communication, terrestrial microwave link and radio telescope.But the huge physical dimension of three-dimensional horn antenna has restricted its application and development in planar circuit.In recent years, the proposition of substrate integrated waveguide technology and development have well promoted the development of plane horn antenna.Substrate integration wave-guide have size little, lightweight, be easy to the advantages such as integrated and processing and fabricating.The substrate integration wave-guide plane horn antenna of the plane based on substrate integration wave-guide, except having the feature of horn antenna, has also well been realized miniaturization, the lightness of horn antenna, and has been easy to be integrated in microwave and millimeter wave planar circuit.Traditional substrate integration wave-guide plane horn antenna have a restriction, the thickness of antenna horn aperture substrate is greater than 1/10th operation wavelengths, antenna just can have good radiance, not so due to reflection, the energy emission in antenna is not gone out.So just require the thickness of antenna substrate can not be too thin, not only volume and weight be very large at L-band etc., will to meet this requirement very difficult especially, very thick substrate compared with low-frequency range, has offset integrated advantage, but also has increased cost.The polarised direction of these antenna radiation field is generally all perpendicular to medium substrate in addition, and some application needs the polarization of radiation field to be parallel to medium substrate.More existing antennas load the radiation that paster improves thin substrate plane horn antenna before plane horn antenna, but the patch size loading is larger, and working band is narrower.
Summary of the invention
technical problem:the object of the invention is to propose a kind of thin substrate line of rabbet joint plane horn antenna, the polarised direction of this radiation field of aerial is parallel with medium substrate, can use very thin medium substrate manufacture, in the situation that the electric very thin thickness of substrate still has good radiance.

The conduction band of microstrip feed line and the first metal flat join, and the ground plane of microstrip feed line and the second metal flat join.
The width of dielectric-filled waveguide will make electromagnetic wave can propagate therein and not be cut off, more than the length of dielectric-filled waveguide has half guide wavelength.
Each line of rabbet joint loudspeaker has respectively the first radiation patch and the second radiation patch on the two sides that is positioned at medium substrate, the first radiation patch of line of rabbet joint loudspeaker is connected with the first metal flat of the integrated horn antenna of substrate, the second radiation patch of line of rabbet joint loudspeaker is connected with the second metal flat of the integrated horn antenna of substrate, and the hypotenuse of the hypotenuse of the first radiation patch and the second radiation patch opens gradually and forms flaring opening.

Electromagnetic wave is from one end input of microstrip feed line, the other end through microstrip feed line enters substrate integration wave-guide horn antenna, propagate after a segment distance, run into metallization arrays of vias, just enter respectively each dielectric-filled waveguide transmission, the electromagnetic wave that enters each dielectric waveguide enters line of rabbet joint loudspeaker radiation by antenna opening diametric plane, and the polarised direction of radiation field also becomes with substrate and connects subparallel horizontal direction.
Owing to there being a plurality of metallization arrays of vias that the bore face of antenna is divided into a lot of little bore faces, it is very little that the size of the line of rabbet joint loudspeaker that connect on each osculum diametric plane can be done, and the compact conformation of antenna, size also only increase seldom like this.
Antenna, from feed microstrip line to line of rabbet joint loudspeaker, be all the substrate integrated wave guide structure of sealing, so feeder loss is less.
beneficial effect:the beneficial effect of the thin substrate line of rabbet joint of the present invention plane horn antenna is that the polarised direction of this radiation field of aerial is parallel with medium substrate; This antenna can use the medium substrate manufacture lower than the thickness of 2 percent wavelength, substrate thickness far below desired 1/10th wavelength of common plane horn antenna, in the situation that the electric very thin thickness of substrate, still there is good radiance, for example, in 6GHz frequency, adopt the thickness of epoxide resin material substrate to be reduced to 0.5mm by 2.5mm, thereby greatly reduce size, weight and cost; Compact conformation, the feeder loss of antenna are little.
