Furthermore, the central axis of the blind hole is perpendicular to the outer surface of the lens where the blind hole is located.
Further, the material of the lens is crosslinked polystyrene.
Further, the distance between the blind holes is smaller than half of the working wavelength.
The following is a more specific example:
referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present embodiment includes a feed source, a lens core layer, and a lens matching layer. The lateral dimension (10-20 λ) and thickness (5-10 λ) of the lens, where λ is the operating wavelength; when the wave beam is large enough, the shaping design can be carried out on the lens by adopting a light ray tracing method, and the curve shape of the lens is utilized to deflect the near-spherical wave light rays radiated from the waveguide port to a specific direction so as to form an ultra-wide wave beam directional diagram.
By optimally designing the shape of the lens curve, the beam forming of spherical waves emitted by the feed source can be realized, and a new method is provided for designing a wide-beam antenna. The embodiment can improve the low elevation gain of the antenna, improve the communication quality with a remote target and realize high-quality large-area beam coverage.
The invention comprises a feed source, a lens core layer and a lens matching layer.
The feed source is arranged at the bottom of the lens core layer and can be in the forms of a waveguide port, a horn, a microstrip and the like.
The wide beam and other special waveform beam radiation can be realized by optimizing the curve shape of the lens.
The material and thickness of the lens matching layer are determined by the dielectric constant of the core layer material, and the matching layer can be made of a foaming material or a traditional material, and can also be made of a medium perforated structure or a metamaterial.
The lens provided in this embodiment is shown in fig. 1, the feed source is in the form of a waveguide port, and the lens has a transverse dimension of about 13 λ and a thickness of about 5 λ. The lens core material was crosslinked polystyrene, had a dielectric constant of 2.53 and a loss tangent of 0.0005. The lens matching layer is made by punching periodic air holes in the cross-linked polystyrene material of the outer layer to achieve the equivalent dielectric constant (about 1.7) required for impedance matching.
Full-wave simulation is carried out on the radiation performance of the lens antenna by using CST commercial software, and the simulation result is shown in FIG. 2. The simulation result shows that the directional diagram of the feed source is a traditional steamed bread-shaped directional diagram, and after the shaped wide beam lens is loaded, the directional diagram of the antenna radiates at a low elevation angle, so that the beam width is widened.
In conclusion, the wide-beam lens antenna can improve the low elevation gain of the antenna, improve the communication quality with a long-distance target and realize high-quality large-area beam coverage.
