Broadband beam antenna based on resonant mode reflector
Technical field
The present invention relates to broad-band antenna and directional aerial field, and in particular to a kind of broadband based on resonant mode reflector
Directional aerial.
Background technology
With society and the progress of science and technology, wireless communication technology has obtained rapid development, and the bandwidth of signal is also continuous
Raising.Ultra wide band (Ultra-Wideband) antenna has also obtained considerable hair as the core devices in wide-band communication system
Exhibition.However, ultra-wideband antenna has the shortcomings that some are universal, such as the sacrifice for making gain of having to improve bandwidth;With
And the directional diagram of high frequency can deteriorate, etc..These shortcomings have a strong impact on communication quality.And the usually omni-directional spoke of ultra-wideband antenna
Penetrate or bidirectional radiation, and as the antenna on modern carrier system is more and more, the problem of electromagnetic compatibility is one very big;
Application value is also little on the field for needing high security and high interference immunity.Solves a simple warp of these weak points
The method of Ji is the ultra-wideband antenna using directed radiation.
Directional aerial be generally divided into microstrip antenna, log-periodic antenna, yagi aerial, parabola antenna, electromagnetic horn,
Antenna of Vivaldi antennas and use metal mirror etc..Above-mentioned antenna all has higher directionality, but regrettably,
They have the deficiency of itself:Microstrip antenna in the another side of medium substrate due to covering metal level as floor, Ke Yiqu
Good directionality is obtained, but the presence of metal level causes the impedance bandwidth of microstrip antenna very narrow, generally only 5% or so;
Yagi aerial generally has more than 10dBi forward gain, but its intrinsic narrow-band and the characteristic of end-fire limit its
Application;Log-periodic antenna and Vivaldi antennas belong to frequency-independent antenna, and they have very wide impedance bandwidth, simultaneously
More stable directionality can also be kept in whole passband, but its larger size and end-fire characteristic make it portable
Having no advantage in formula application field can say;And parabola antenna and electromagnetic horn also due to relatively large size and limited
Application.Directional aerial using metal mirror is (can be equivalent to ideal to lead using metallic conductor on broad-band antenna
Body, Perfect Electric Conductor, PEC) it is used as reflecting surface.According to the boundary condition on PEC surfaces, electric field it is tangential
Component is zero, so back wave can produce 180 ° of phase difference.Therefore the spacing that must assure that antenna and metallic reflection plate is four
/ mono- wavelength so that back wave being capable of in-phase stacking in far field with direct wave.The spacing of antenna and metallic reflection plate is four points
One of the requirement of wavelength make it that antenna will become very thick in low frequency applications, and the bandwidth of antenna is not also wide;In addition, to take
The size of preferable directionality reflecting plate is also required to larger, be unfavorable for minimizing.Moreover, in addition to microstrip antenna, it is above-mentioned other
Antenna is all not belonging to low section structure.
In recent years with electromagnetism Meta Materials (metamaterial) development, occur a kind of using artificial magnetic conductor
The directional aerial of (Artificial Magnetic Conductor, AMC) as reflecting surface.AMC is by the strong resonance structure cycle
The artificial electromagnetic material of arrangement, to simulate perfect magnetic conductor (Perfect Magnetic Conductor, PMC) characteristic,
So that realize that zero phase reflects in specific frequency.Due to AMC zero phase reflection characteristic, metallic conductor reflecting surface is changed into AMC,
Antenna and AMC distance can be infinitely close in theory, therefore can realize the directional aerial of low section.Moreover, certain structures
AMC, such as mushroom-shaped electro-magnetic bandgap (Electromagnetic that propose of American scholar D.Sievenpiper in 1999
Band-gap, EBG) structure, zero reflected phase frequency range is identical with the band gap frequency range of high resistant characteristic, therefore uses it as reflecting surface
Also there is suppression surface wave simultaneously, improve the characteristic of secondary lobe and back lobe.But also there is its shortcoming on AMC surfaces, surface this first
Frequency band it is especially narrow, it is difficult to obtain broadband character, let alone ultra wide band;Secondly, AMC surfaces are periodic structure, it is necessary to more
The individual cycle could realize good function, and its planar dimension is larger;3rd, AMC structure and the distance of antenna are close, the coupling between the two
Conjunction is very strong, so that the design and optimization efficiency of antenna are low.
The research for broadband beam antenna domestic at present be mostly yagi aerial, parabola antenna, electromagnetic horn, using gold
Belong to antenna of reflecting plate etc.." ultra wide band orients day as disclosed in the Chinese invention patent application that notification number is CN103825091A

" broadband high-efficiency indoor directional antenna " disclosed in CN101752669A Chinese invention patent application.Although the studies above passes through
Certain method generates certain directionality, but theirs is front and rear than being not especially high, and all these methods
Slightly aobvious complexity in design.So add design cost and in some occasions and do not apply to.Further, these patents can not meet
Antenna low section, the requirement of miniaturization.
