Description

Single-pulse antenna array based on gap waveguide
Technical Field
The invention relates to a gap waveguide technology, in particular to a single-pulse antenna array based on a gap waveguide.
Background
Since the proposal of the gap waveguide in 2009, the gap waveguide has been regarded as more and more important in the field of antenna design. Compared with a SIW structure transmitted in a medium and a traditional microstrip and strip line structure, the traditional gap waveguide has relatively low loss due to propagation in an air gap, and the traditional gap waveguide does not need high electric connectivity like the traditional waveguide due to the structure, so that the processing and assembling cost is low, and the requirements of various electronic and communication systems on miniaturization, light weight and easy integration of components are easily met. However, in the conventional gap waveguide, because the size of the periodic structure is too large, the feed network and the radiation gap are arranged in one layer, and only one row of periodic structures can be arranged when the parallel feed structure is realized, so that the coupling amount is increased, and the performance of the antenna is influenced.
Document 1(p.s.kildal, e.alfonno, a.valero-Nogueira and e.rajo-Iglesias, "Local Metal-Based Waveguides in Gaps Between Parallel Metal Plates," ieee Antennas and Wireless transmission couplers, vol.8, No., pp.84-87,2009.) proposes a new structure of gap waveguide, which has advantages of broadband, low loss, high integration, simplicity of fabrication, etc., compared to other transmission structures. The gap waveguide is combined with the traditional waveguide slot antenna, so that the gap waveguide slot antenna not only has the advantages of the traditional waveguide slot antenna, but also can overcome the defects of the traditional waveguide slot antenna in the aspects of processing and assembling, and is a new idea.
Document 2(s.i. shams and a.a. kishk, "Printed Texture With Triangle flow pins for Bandwidth Enhancement of the Ridge Gap waveform," in ieee transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, vol.65, No.6, pp.2093-2100, June2017.) proposes an inverted triangular periodic structure based on microstrip printing, which greatly reduces the distance between two rows of periodic structures compared to the traditional square pins in the form of Printed microstrip.
Document 3(m.ramezan, a.khaleghi, "2D Slot Array Antenna in Ridge gap waveguide Technology," 8th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP),2014) implements an equal-amplitude weighted Slot Antenna by placing a row of metal pins in the middle of a parallel-fed Ridge-type gap waveguide, but does not place two rows of microstrip printed inverted-triangle structures in the two gap waveguides.
As described above, although the prior art proposes the inverted-triangular structure by microstrip printing, the above-mentioned article and the prior art do not mention the realization of the single-pulse antenna array based on the gap waveguide of the inverted-triangular periodic structure by microstrip printing.
