Cheng Zhong, also using the walking circuit component 122 of the synchronous driving coupled switch 120 of driving force of control equipment 160 towards with fixation
The isolated direction movement of circuit unit 124, so that the input terminal of phase shifter 110 and aerial signal input terminal are disconnected, antenna letter
Output number is only capable of to the first radiating element 132, realizes that antenna works in the wider situation of beam angle;When need antenna by width
When wave beam switches to narrow beam again, and walking circuit component 122 can be made to reset by the resetting movement of walking circuit component 122
It moves to and is of coupled connections with fixed circuit unit 124, so that the input terminal of phase shifter 110 be made to restore to lead with aerial signal input terminal
It is logical.It is this by phase shifter 110 to antenna carry out phase adjusted during, make full use of driving phase shift slide plate 140 move
The design of driving force synchronously control coupled switch 120 can not only easily realize that antenna beamwidth is adjustable, meet difference and cover
The demand of lid scene, moreover it is possible to greatly simplify antenna overall structure, be conducive to the miniaturization of antenna.
It should be understood that when control equipment 160 is moved in driving phase shift slide plate 140 to the direction close to phase shifter 110
During, in 122 resetting movement of walking circuit component to after being of coupled connections again with fixed circuit unit 124, phase shifter 110
Input terminal can restore to be connected with aerial signal input terminal, so as to realize the phase to each second radiating element 134 again
It adjusts, and then realizes that the angle of declination of antenna is adjusted.
In some embodiments, above-mentioned walking circuit component 122 is resetted towards the direction coupled with fixed circuit unit 124
Movement, can also realize by the reset element inside coupled switch 120, it may be assumed that the coupled switch 120 has similar existing
The function of reset switch, as the structure cloth how carried out in coupled switch 120 between reset element and walking circuit component 122
Office can refer to the prior art, be not described in detail here.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, realizing coupled switch 120 by being disconnected to conducting to reach to facilitate
Switching this purpose under the premise of, in order to simplify the structure of coupled switch 120, and avoid the structure of coupled switch 120 excessively
Complicated and to walking circuit component 122 in coupled switch 120 relative to fixed circuit unit 124 coupling/separation impacts,
Above-mentioned walking circuit component 122 makees resetting movement towards the direction coupled with fixed circuit unit 124, preferably by coupled switch
