Embodiment
In conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, technical solution of the present invention is below provided to specifically describe.
See Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the broadband base station antenna radiating element of the present invention comprises symmetrical radiation arm 1, feed tab 2, hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3, hollow feed pillar stiffener 4, feed tab mounting block 15, plastic feet 20 and feed concentric cable 23, symmetrical radiation arm 1 has two, two symmetrical radiation arm 1 decussate distributions mutually, composition dual polarised radiation body. Two symmetrical radiation arms 1 are rotationally symmetrical relative to the center of radiating element, and thus for two direction of polarization, radiator is identical, and this kind of layout can strengthen the consistence between two polarization.
See Fig. 4 to Fig. 6, feed tab 2 has 2, is labeled as feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 respectively, and each feed tab 2 is made up of the horizontal metal sheet of two sections of upright metallic sheets and connection two sections of upright metallic sheets. Upper feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 are in cross arranged crosswise: the horizontal metal sheet of upper feed tab 7 is designated as horizontal metal sheet 11, the horizontal metal sheet of lower feed tab 8 is designated as lower horizontal metal sheet 12, upper horizontal metal sheet 11 is higher than lower horizontal metal sheet 12, lower horizontal metal sheet 12 opening at an upper portion thereof, it is designated as upper shed 13, upper horizontal metal sheet 11, at its underpart opening, is designated as lower opening 14. Upper shed 13 is corresponding with lower opening 14, and upper feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8, in the mutual arranged crosswise in opening place, reduce the coupling between two polarization. By controlling upper feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 distance in vertical direction, and the degree of depth of upper shed 13 and lower opening 14, it is possible to effectively control the isolation between two polarization. Two sections of upright metallic sheets of each feed tab 2 are respectively the main upright metallic sheet 9 being fixed in a hollow feed pillar stiffener 4 and the secondary upright metallic sheet 10 being fixed in a hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3. A radiating element comprises four pillar stiffeners, comprises two hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffeners 3 and two hollow feed pillar stiffeners 4. Feed tab 2 forms feed Ba Lun with hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3 and hollow feed pillar stiffener 4, provides impedance matching and balance-imbalance conversion for radiating element. Owing to feed tab 2 can make the form of multistage coupling, thus the base station antenna radiation unit of the present invention can realize very big bandwidth.
See Fig. 3, in each symmetrical radiation arm 1, an arm connects a hollow feed pillar stiffener 4, and another arm connects a hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3. The bottom of the hollow feed pillar stiffener 4 of every root is provided with feed opening 6, and the outer conductor 24 of feed concentric cable 23 is fixed on feed opening 6, and the interior conductor 25 of feed concentric cable 23 is connected with the main upright metallic sheet 9 of certain feed tab 2.
For making main upright metallic sheet 9, the secondary upright metallic sheet 10 of feed tab 2 wrap in hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3, hollow feed pillar stiffener 4 respectively, composition band line transmission structure, the height of feed tab 2 should as far as possible lower than the upper radiating surface of symmetrical radiation arm 1. Therefore notch 5 is set in the junction of hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3 and hollow feed pillar stiffener 4 and symmetrical radiation arm 1, feed tab 2 can be made like this to wrap in hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3 and hollow feed pillar stiffener 4 as much as possible, strengthen the impedance matching performance of radiating element. Notch 5 degree of depth on two hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffeners 3 and two hollow feed pillar stiffeners 4 is identical, such an arrangement enhances the consistence between two polarization, and the consistence between same polarization two-arm.
See Fig. 7, feed tab mounting block 15 comprises fixing post 16, and permanent seat 18 and fixing card 19, feed tab mounting block 15 is integrated shaping, and structure is firm, easy for installation. Fixing post 16 has 4, it is provided with through hole 17 in the middle of each fixing post 16, main upright metallic sheet 9 and the secondary upright metallic sheet 10 of each feed tab 2 are each passed through the through hole 17 being arranged in the middle of a fixing post 16, each fixing post 16 respectively correspondence be nested in hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3 or hollow feed pillar stiffener 4, can ensure that feed tab 2 does not offset in hollow Ba Lun pillar stiffener 3 and hollow feed pillar stiffener 4. Upper feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 are spaced from each other by permanent seat 18, feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 is avoided to contact with each other, the position of upper feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 is limited simultaneously, avoid feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 position in the horizontal direction to offset. Upper horizontal metal sheet 11 and lower horizontal metal sheet 12 are blocked by fixing card 19, thus avoid feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 to move in vertical direction. Owing to upper feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 have been carried out spacing by feed tab mounting block 15 in all directions, go up simultaneously feed tab 7 and lower feed tab 8 main upright metallic sheet 9 lower end respectively interior conductor 25 with a feed concentric cable 23 link together, thus the feed structure of the present invention is firm, ensures the stable of radiating element performance.
See Fig. 8 or Figure 10, antenna array can be provided: radiating element provided by the invention is labeled as 26 based on radiating element provided by the invention, some radiating elements 26 are linearly arranged on reflector 21, each radiating element 26 separates by plastic feet 20 and reflector 21, and the hollow feed pillar stiffener 4 of every root on radiating element 26 passes the respective through hole 27 on reflector 21, the hollow feed pillar stiffener 4 of every root is also separated by plastic feet 20 and reflector 21, radiating element 26 is fixed on reflector 21 by set screw 22 through the through hole being arranged on reflector 21 and plastic feet 20. due to electric point of contact only set screw 22 of radiating element 26 with reflector 21, therefore the intermodulation performance of antenna array is excellent. Fig. 8 is the first embodiment of antenna array provided by the invention. see Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, taking the array axis direction of multiple radiating element 26 as 0o, the symmetrical radiation arm 1 of each radiating element 26 is along �� 45oDirection arranges, and the upper feed tab 7 of adjacent radiation unit and the placement direction of lower feed tab 8 are contrary, if the upper feed tab 7 of a front radiating element is along+45oDirection is placed, and lower feed tab 8 is along-45oDirection is placed, then the upper feed tab 7 of next radiating element is along-45oDirection is placed, and lower feed tab 8 is along+45oDirection is placed.
