Description

Super-surface wearable microstrip antenna based on characteristic model theory optimization and optimization method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, and particularly relates to a super-surface wearable microstrip antenna optimized based on a characteristic model theory and an optimization method.
Background
In recent decades, in the field of wireless communication technology, the application prospect of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) has been receiving more and more attention, and considering various wearable application scenarios of WBANs, wearable antennas are key devices in communication. In order to ensure the wearing comfort of human body, the material of the wearable antenna generally needs to be flexible, which causes the problems of low antenna gain, overlarge size and the like. The development of wearable devices is more and more interested, and some remarkable low-profile, flexible and comfortable-to-wear antennas are gradually proposed, and have great potential in the fields of medical treatment, sports equipment, identity recognition systems and the like. The ISM band of 2.4GHz is the preferred band to achieve this goal, as there are many unified standards for low power communication (e.g. BLE, ZigBee).
The super-surface is a low-profile, easily fabricated two-dimensional metamaterial, and although the super-surface has been proposed and researched for decades, it still draws the attention of scientists and engineers due to its significant advantages in controlling electromagnetic waves, has great advantages in antenna design, and has been widely used. Placing the super-surface above the antenna is an effective way to increase the gain of the antenna and to extend the bandwidth of the impedance. At the same time, the size of the antenna can be miniaturized by properly adding the super surface. However, existing methods of super-surface analysis are mainly based on approximate estimation from a single structural element to the whole array, and there is little systematic and comprehensive optimization of the whole structural element, and it cannot solve the problem that only part of super-surface structural elements are coupled with the antenna. Therefore, the radiation mechanism of the super-surface antenna needs to be explored fundamentally so as to optimize the structural unit.
The electromagnetic problem is solved by combining the characteristic mode theory with a moment method which is widely applied and the eigenmode theory, and the mutually orthogonal characteristic modes can be used for intuitively providing engineering reference for the antenna design, so that more and more attention is paid to the antenna design, the characteristic modes are partially applied to the design and analysis of the super-surface coating antenna, and the application potential of the characteristic modes is to be further excavated. The characteristic mode theory provides an antenna design method based on the surface current distribution and radiation characteristics of the characteristic mode, and compared with other methods, the antenna design method has deeper physical significance and research depth. By adjusting the shape, size and arrangement of the structural units, the required characteristic modes can be selectively excited, and some unnecessary characteristic modes are inhibited, so that the antenna is an effective way for improving the performance of the antenna.

The invention optimizes the super surface layer by using the characteristic mode theory. Before the super-surface structure unit patch array 6 is optimized, nine rectangular super-surface structure unit patches are uniformly arranged to form a 3 × 3 array, and after the optimization of the characteristic model theory, three super-surface structure unit patches in which the radiation contributions of the middle row to the whole antenna are mutually offset can be removed, so that a 2 × 3 array formed by six rectangular super-surface structure unit patches in the left row and the right row is obtained.
A super-surface structure unit patch arrangement optimization method of a miniaturized super-surface wearable microstrip antenna based on characteristic model theory optimization comprises the following steps:
1) calculating a mode significance value when the front super surface structure unit patch array is arranged optimally, and obtaining the resonant frequency of the corresponding mode when the mode significance value is 1;
2) calculating the surface current distribution of the super-surface structure unit patch at the resonant frequency;
3) according to the distribution characteristics of the surface current, removing the super-surface structure unit patches which mutually offset the radiation contribution of the whole antenna to obtain optimized super-surface structure unit patch array arrangement, and realizing the structural optimization of the antenna.
According to the eigenmode theory, the potential radiation contribution of the eigenmode has an important parameter, namely, the Mode Significance (MS), and the larger the value of the mode significance is, the stronger the effective radiation of the corresponding mode is. When the value of the mode significance is 1, the resonance frequency of the corresponding mode can be obtained. The frequency band corresponding to a mode significance greater than 0.707 is an operating frequency band in which the corresponding mode can radiate efficiently, i.e., the bandwidth of the mode, which helps determine the dominant mode for the frequency band under consideration. In the original design, the super surface layer was composed of 3 × 3 structural units. In order to obtain the dominant mode of the ISM frequency band of 2.4GHz by using the characteristic mode theory, the significance curves of the first six modes are calculated and given. It is clear that mode 1 can be excited efficiently in the ISM band of 2.4 GHz. The resonant frequency of mode 1 (when the mode significance is 1) is 2.46GHz, and the mode significance bandwidth (the mode significance is more than 0.707) is 2.41-2.52 GHz. It can be seen that mode 1 is the dominant mode of the antenna in the design frequency band.
To study the radiation characteristics of an antenna with a 3 x 3 super-surface structure element, the surface current distribution of the super-surface patch at 2.45GHz for mode 1 was calculated. Fig. 2a is a current distribution diagram of the surface of the super surface structure unit patch before optimization. It can be seen that the surface currents of the patch with the structural unit located at the center are very weak, while the surface currents of the two patches with the symmetrical structural units located at the middle row are distributed along the counterclockwise direction and the clockwise direction respectively, and the radiation fields of the two patches with the symmetrical structural units almost cancel each other. The total surface current direction of the remaining six structural units is the Y axis. The radiation of mode 1 is directional, exhibiting a mushroom shape with a directivity coefficient peaking at 9.53 dBi. Considering that the radiation contribution of the three structural element patches of the middle row to the whole antenna is small, the antenna structure can be optimized by removing these structural element patches of the super surface layer. Fig. 2b is a surface current distribution diagram of the optimized super-surface structure unit patch. After removing the middle row of three building element patches, the reflectance curve of mode 1 shifts slightly to the low frequency direction, but hardly changes. The radiation pattern of the antenna after the middle row was removed was almost the same as that without the middle row, and the peak of the directivity coefficient was 9.45 dBi. Based on the characteristic model theory, the structural optimization of the antenna is realized by removing the three structural unit patches in the middle row of the super-surface layer. After reducing the super-surface array from 3 × 3 to 2 × 3, the peak gain of the super-surface antenna is reduced from 6.57dBi to 6.43 dBi. The result shows that the optimization method of the super-surface layer has little influence on the radiation performance of the antenna.
FIG. 3 shows the simulated and measured S after optimization according to the embodiment of the present invention11Compare the figures. Reflection coefficient S of small-sized super-surface wearable antenna microstrip antenna optimized based on characteristic model theory in embodiment of the invention11And (3) performing simulation and actual measurement, comparing the results, and obviously widening the working frequency band and shifting the working frequency band to the low-frequency direction after the super-surface layer is added on the microstrip antenna. It can be seen that the measured result and the simulation result have better consistency. The simulation working frequency band of the antenna is 2.40-2.49GHz, the resonance frequency point is 2.44GHz, the actual measurement working frequency band is widened to 2.36-2.50GHz, and the resonance frequency point is 2.45 GHz. Both resulting operating bands may cover the 2.4GHz ISM band. The normalized gain pattern for the x-o-z plane is shown in fig. 4 and the normalized gain pattern for the y-o-z plane is shown in fig. 5, which illustrates the antenna having good directivity. The measurements show that the half-power beamwidths are 87 and 60 in the x-o-z plane and the y-o-z plane, respectively. The simulation result can be well matched with the actual measurement result. The gain and efficiency measurements of the antenna are shown in fig. 6. In the ISM band of 2.4GHz, the gain value is greater than 6.5dBi, and the average efficiency is 68.5%.
To evaluateThe wearing stability of the super-surface antenna was estimated by bending the antenna along the Y-axis by arcs of 30, 40, 50, 60mm radius, respectively. S obtained by actual measurement11The curves are shown in fig. 7. With the decrease of the R value, although the resonant frequency point slightly shifts to the left, the matching effect gradually weakens, but the antenna is basically stable around the working frequency band of 2.36-2.50GHz, so that the antenna has good robustness and reliability in the ISM frequency band of 2.4 GHz.
In order to test the influence of human body on the antenna performance, when the super-surface wearable antenna is placed in different human tissues, corresponding S is obtained through testing11The results were compared, as shown in FIG. 8. When the antenna is placed in the arm, leg, abdomen, chest and free space, respectively, S11The curves do not differ much. This comparison shows that the human body is facing the S of the super-surface antenna11And the resonance frequency is not greatly influenced, which shows that the antenna still has good performance under the influence of different human tissues.
In order to test the safety of the antenna on human tissues, the SAR value of the human tissues is obtained through simulation. The distance between the bottom of the antenna and the human tissue phantom was set to 5mm in consideration of the thickness of the clothes. According to the standards established in the United states and European Union, the SAR value of 1g of human tissue should be less than 1.6W/kg, and the SAR value of 10g of human tissue should be less than 2.0W/kg. At 2.45GHz, the simulated SAR values of 1g and 10g human tissues are 0.632W/kg and 0.316W/kg respectively, which shows that the SAR value of the human tissue conforms to the standards of the United states and European Union for the antenna, and the antenna is basically safe for the human tissue and can be used for wearable equipment.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments enable a person skilled in the art to more fully understand the invention, without restricting it in any way. All technical solutions and modifications thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
