Description

Liquid crystal phase-shifting unit and phase-controlled antenna formed by same
Technical Field
the invention belongs to the field of imaging and radar of terahertz electronics, and particularly relates to a liquid crystal reflection phase-shifting unit and a phased reflection type array antenna formed by the same.
Background
phased array antennas have a more rapid and accurate beam scanning capability than conventional mechanically scanned antennas. More remote target searching and more stable and reliable performance can be realized.
the microstrip reflective array antenna combines the advantages of the traditional parabolic reflective antenna and the microstrip array antenna. Has high radiation efficiency and wide beam scanning angle. The core of the research on the microstrip reflective array is how to design the structure and size of each unit so that the unit can realize specific phase compensation on the incident wave, thereby forming a specific beam. The traditional microstrip reflective array antenna mainly has the following design methods, firstly, the phase compensation is realized by changing the structural size of a microstrip patch; secondly, phase delay lines with different lengths are loaded on different patches to compensate the phase; thirdly, different phase compensation is obtained by rotating the patch unit by different angles; and fourthly, loading a gap on the substrate under the patch to realize phase shift.
In the method, when the structure of the microstrip array is determined, the microstrip array can not be changed any more, the beam direction of the antenna is determined, and the phase control cannot be realized. If the phase shift change of the phase shift unit needs to be controlled in an electric control mode and the like, the phase shift can be realized by adding one phase shifter to each array element. The traditional phase shifter comprises a varactor phase shifter, a ferrite phase shifter, a PIN diode phase shifter, an MEMS phase shifter and the like. The parasitic characteristic of the varactor diode in a high frequency band is serious, and the varactor diode can only be applied to a low frequency band; the phase shift characteristic of the ferrite phase shifter is easy to migrate along with the external environment and is difficult to accurately control; the MEMS phase shifter has the defects of needing a precise processing technology, high implementation difficulty, high manufacturing cost and the like; the high-displacement phase shifter based on the PIN diode occupies a larger area, so that the space between array elements is inevitably increased, and the grating lobe index of the antenna is deteriorated. Due to the restriction of multiple factors such as high-frequency performance of devices (variable capacitance diodes), processing difficulty (MEMS), circuit area (PIN diodes) and the like, the working frequency of the reflective phased arrays is generally below a W wave band, and the reflective phased arrays are difficult to work at higher frequency.

The invention applies voltage on the metal patch through the connecting wire, thereby forming an electric field in the liquid crystal layer. The orientation of nematic liquid crystal molecules changes under the action of an electric field, and the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal changes accordingly. The electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal material can be changed by applying a bias voltage to the liquid crystal layer, thereby changing the phase of the reflected wave at the surface of the phase shift unit. The required phase compensation can be obtained by controlling the voltage by obtaining a corresponding phase shift curve after a simulation test is carried out on the liquid crystal phase shift unit.
