Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, and particularly relates to a novel one-dimensional phase-scanning transmission array antenna.
Background
Beam scanning is an important antenna technology, and has wide application requirements in the fields of wireless communication, detection and the like.
There are generally three methods for realizing a high-gain one-dimensional beam scan. The first method is a phased array antenna, which implements electrical scanning by connecting phase shifters behind each antenna element, but this method requires many costly integrated phase shifters, especially high gain two-dimensional phased arrays, which significantly increases complexity and cost. In addition, the phase shifter has a problem of large loss. The second method is to scan beams by switching the position of a reflection array or transmission array feed source antenna, the number and the scanning interval of the beams realized by the method are limited, continuous electric regulation cannot be realized, and the gain change and the directional diagram change in the scanning process are large. The third method is a one-dimensional transmission array antenna with a one-dimensional phase scanning linear array as a feed antenna, wherein the linear array is used for realizing beam scanning in one direction, and the transmission array is used for focusing in the other direction to improve the gain. However, the gain of the conventional one-dimensional phase-scanning transmissive array antenna is seriously decreased with the increase of the scanning angle, and the directional pattern is deteriorated, which is more remarkable in the case of a large focal length.
In summary, the high-gain one-dimensional beam scanning technique still has many problems.

here, the one-dimensional linear array antenna includes M antenna elements, and the specific structure of the antenna elements may be arbitrary, and the distribution of the antenna elements may also be arbitrary, and may also be uniform distribution or non-uniform distribution.
The one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array is used for compensating the phase difference required by the incident scanning beam on the focusing surface so as to improve the gain of the focusing surface; different from the conventional one-dimensional transmission array antenna, the phase distribution of each row of the array is obtained by calculation according to the focal length under the corresponding incident angle, so that the phase modulation transmission array compensates the phase difference required by scanning the beam row by row;
the one-dimensional linear array antenna is positioned at the focal plane of the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array.
Further, in one embodiment, each column of phase distribution of the array is calculated according to the focal length at the corresponding incident angle, and the principle is as follows: when the scanning beam of the one-dimensional linear array irradiates the phase modulation transmission array at an alpha angle, the path length of the incident wave is the focal length F corresponding to the angleαThus according to the focal length FαAnd calculating the phase distribution of the column corresponding to the angle. According to this principle, each column of the phase-modulated transmissive array has a phase distribution corresponding to the focal length F at the corresponding incident angle0,F1,…,FNAnd (4) calculating.
The calculation formula is as follows:
Ψij=k·rij
wherein,

Figure BDA0002804854020000032
in the formula, xi、yjRespectively the abscissa and the ordinate of the phase modulation transmission unit of the jth row and the ith column, the coordinate system takes the plane of the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array as the x axis towards the right, k is the wave number of free space, FαiThe focal length at the corresponding incident angle of the ith column of the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array is psiijFor the phase profile corresponding to the ith column, F0Is the focal length of the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array.

Further, in one embodiment, the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array is constructed in a manner that:
a phase modulation transmission unit is selected, and the phase distribution shown in fig. 1 is realized by changing the size or the rotation angle of a certain parameter in the unit, so that a one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array is formed.
Further, in one embodiment, given the range of scanning angles that needs to be achieved, the length L (in the x-direction) of the one-dimensional phase-modulating transmissive array should satisfy: the electric field amplitude distribution larger than the preset threshold value is positioned on the phase modulation transmission array, so that the energy is not seriously leaked in a given scanning angle range; the width D (in the y-direction) should satisfy:

in the formula, Q is a feed source directional diagram fitting index, EI is an edge illumination level, and the value is about-9 dB.
Further, in one embodiment, the phase modulation transmission unit of the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array adopts a phase modulation transmission unit with a 3-layer crossed microstrip line structure, and other transmission unit structures can also be adopted.
As a specific example, in one embodiment, the novel one-dimensional phase-scanning transmissive array antenna of the present invention is further explained.
With reference to fig. 2, the one-dimensional linear array in this embodiment is composed of 8 microstrip patch antenna units, and the unit pitch is 0.5 λ, where λ is the free space wavelength at the center frequency of 13.5 GHz. To widen the bandwidth, a stacked two-layer patch structure was used, implemented with Rogers4003C dielectric slabs with a relative dielectric constant of 3.55, and thicknesses of 0.305mm and 0.508 mm. The scanning pattern of the one-dimensional linear array obtained by simulation is shown in fig. 3, and it can be seen that beam scanning within a range of ± 35 ° is realized at the center frequency, and both the gain and the pattern are kept stable in the scanning process. In addition, the scanning performance is better at 14.2 GHz.
Secondly, selecting the focal length as F 010 λ. The scanning angle range to be realized is selected to be-35 degrees to +35 degrees, and the amplitude distribution of the electric field irradiated on the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array when the one-dimensional linear array is scanned for 35 degrees is calculated, as shown in figure 4. When the dimension L of the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array along the x direction is 31 λ, no serious leakage of the electric field occurs. In the y-direction, the dimension D of the one-dimensional phase modulating transmissive array is designed to be 14 λ, so that the edge illumination level is around-9 dB.
Then, phase distribution of each row of the phase modulation transmission array is respectively according to the focal distance F under the corresponding incident angle0,F1,…,FNThe calculated phase distribution of the phase modulation array is shown in fig. 5.
Then, a phase-modulated transmission cell as shown in fig. 6 was selected, which was a 3-layer cross dipole structure with a period P of 11mm (about 0.5 x λ), and the substrate was a Rogers4003C dielectric slab with a thickness T of 0.508mm, each layer being separated by an air layer with a thickness H of 5 mm. Full-wave simulation of cells using periodic boundaries by varying size L1318-degree phase regulation with transmission coefficient greater than-3 dB at the center frequency of 13.5GHz can be realized, as shown in figure 7.
Fig. 8 is a layout of the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array according to the present embodiment. Fig. 9 is a simulated directional diagram of the one-dimensional phase-scanning transmissive array antenna of the present embodiment. Tables 1 and 2 show the gain of the novel one-dimensional phase-scanning transmissive array antenna of this embodiment, where Δ is the gain of each scanned beam of the feed antenna after passing through the transmissive array. From simulation results, the beam can scan in a range of-35 degrees to +35 degrees at the central frequency of 13.5GHz, the gain is kept above 21dBi, and by using the one-dimensional phase modulation transmission array, the gain of the feed antenna is improved by 6.63dBi to 9.46dBi in the scanning range and has a stable scanning directional pattern. In addition, at 14.2GHz, the phase-scanning one-dimensional transmission array antenna still has better scanning characteristics, and the increased gain of each scanning angle is between 7.13dB and 9.2 dB.
