Specific embodiment
Embodiments of the invention are described below in detail, the example of described embodiment is shown in the drawings, wherein from start to finish
The element that same or similar label represents same or similar element or has same or like function.Below with reference to attached
The embodiment of figure description is exemplary, is only used for explaining the present invention, and is not considered as limiting the invention.
In describing the invention it is to be understood that term " multiple " refers to two or more;Term " first ",
" second " is only used for describing purpose, and it is not intended that indicating or hint relative importance.
Below with reference to the accompanying drawings array antenna according to embodiments of the present invention is described.
It should be noted that the effect of antenna is to launch the electromagnetic wave with certain radiation feature.The radiation of antenna is special
Levy and can be reflected by directional diagram.In the design of array antenna, directional diagram product theorem is a very important foundation, its
Specific formula is as follows:
Wherein,For array aerial direction figure;For element factor (element antenna directional diagram); For array factor (battle array directional diagram).
In the related, if the physical features such as the shape of unit antenna in array antenna, size are identical
, only because the factor such as mismachining tolerance, unit antenna be difficult to just the same, then can will be referred to as similar for these element antennas
Element antenna.The radiation feature of similar element antenna has similarity, and its directional diagram is identical.
If the quantity of similar element antenna is n, the concrete formula of array factor is as follows:
Wherein, d is the spacing of element antenna, inAnd αnIt is respectively the amplitude for n-th element antenna exciting current and phase
Position.
As shown from the above formula, the spacing of the radiation feature of array antenna and multiple element antennas, current amplitude, electric current phase
Position and multiple element antenna directional diagrams are related.In correlation technique, the directional diagram of multiple similar element antennas is identical, by unit
The directional diagram of antennaRegard non-variables as, only pass through to change spacing, current amplitude and the electric current of multiple element antennas
Phase place is adjusting the radiation feature of array antenna.
In order to, in one embodiment of the invention, can be by adjusting the unit antenna radiation pattern in array antenna
To adjust the radiation feature of array antenna.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the array antenna according to one embodiment of the invention.
As shown in figure 1, array antenna according to embodiments of the present invention, comprising: base plate 10, multiple non-similar element antenna
20 and feeding network 30.
Multiple non-similar element antennas 20 are arranged on base plate 10 side, and multiple non-similar element antennas 20 have difference
Radiation feature.
In one embodiment of the invention, multiple non-similar element antennas 20 are the dissimilar multiple lists of physical features
First antenna, wherein, physical features include one or more of shape, size, angles.Three differences are shown in Fig. 1
The element antenna of shape and the side view of corresponding directional diagram, wherein, its size of three element antennas and angles exist
In figure is not shown.
It should be appreciated that multiple non-similar element antennas 20 have different radiation due to having different physical features
Feature.In other embodiments of the invention, at least one of multiple non-similar element antennas element antenna is single with other
First antenna has different physical features.
Additionally, the dissmilarity of the physical features in the present invention refers to that multiple element antennas have in the design of physical features
Substantial difference, and using in correlation technique has multiple element antennas of identical design, these element antennas
Element antenna in correlation technique therefore can be referred to as similar unit sky by the nuance leading to because of its technologic error
Line, and the element antenna in the present invention is referred to as non-similar element antenna.
In one embodiment of the invention, radiation feature may include directional diagram and/or beam angle.As shown in figure 1, three
Direction Figure 40 of individual variform non-similar element antenna 20 is different.For further appreciating that multiple non-similar units
The radiation feature of antenna 20, respectively illustrates each non-similar element antenna 20 in Fig. 1 in Fig. 2 a, Fig. 2 b, Fig. 2 c and Fig. 2 d
The axonometric chart of direction Figure 40, front view, side view and top view.In conjunction with above-mentioned each figure it is known that due to multiple non-similar lists
The physical features of first antenna 20 are different, and therefore its direction Figure 40 is different, and its beam angle is also different.
Alternatively, base plate 10 can be classification reflecting plate or non-flat design base plate etc., and element antenna 20 can be bionic antenna,
Thus the radiation characteristics such as the frequency of multiple non-similar element antennas, power, gain and radiation efficiency can be improved.
Feeding network 30 is arranged on the opposite side of base plate 10, is connected with multiple non-similar element antennas 20, for many
Individual non-similar element antenna 20 feeds.
In one embodiment of the invention, feeding network 30 can be carried out with multiple non-similar units 20 by coaxial cable
Connect, thus the loss of electric energy can be reduced.
Array antenna according to embodiments of the present invention, has the multiple non-of different radiation features by the setting in base plate side
Similar element antenna, arranges the feeding network to multiple non-similar element antenna feeds in base plate opposite side, thus constituting
Array antenna.Thus, compared with correlation technique, except spacing, current amplitude and the electric current phase that can pass through the multiple element antennas of change
Position is outer, also can adjust the spoke of array antenna by arranging the element antenna that multiple physical features are dissimilar, radiation feature is different
Penetrate feature, by meet the antenna applications index of different field so that adjustment array antenna radiation feature in the way of variation.?
The design of array antenna under conditions of realizing equal radiation feature, can be simplified, reduce the quantity of element antenna, reduce array antenna
Volume such that it is able to reduces cost.
