the terminology used in the embodiments of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in the examples of this application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Specifically, for the same liquid crystal phase shifter unit 10, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 are used to respectively realize transmission of two types of electromagnetic wave signals, in the transmission process of the electromagnetic wave signals, the phase shift effect is realized through deflection of liquid crystal, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 respectively have independent receiving end and transmitting end, transmission and reception of one type of frequency electromagnetic wave signals can be realized through the first microstrip line 11, transmission and reception of another type of frequency electromagnetic wave signals can be realized through the second microstrip line 12, that is, the transceiving function of different frequency signals is realized in the same liquid crystal phase shifter unit 10.
The liquid crystal phase shifter in the embodiment of the application can realize the transceiving function of different frequency signals in the same liquid crystal phase shifter unit through two mutually independent microstrip lines with transceiving function, thereby expanding the bandwidth of one liquid crystal phase shifter unit and increasing the application field of the liquid crystal phase shifter.
Alternatively, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 are alternately wound in the same liquid crystal phase shifter unit. The first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 are wound in a staggered manner, so that the occupied space between the two is small, and the mutual influence of signals between the two is small, thereby realizing the transceiving function of two frequency signals in a limited liquid crystal phase shifter unit.
Optionally, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 are disposed at equal intervals, and the first microstrip line and the second microstrip line are wound in a staggered manner, so that mutual influence of signals between the two can be further reduced, and the occupied space between the two is small.
Specifically, in the structures illustrated in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 adopt a square spiral winding method, that is, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 after winding are entirely square, but the winding manner between the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited, for example, as shown in fig. 4 to fig. 6, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another winding manner of a microstrip line in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another winding manner of a microstrip line in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another winding manner of a microstrip line in the embodiment of the present application, in the structure illustrated in fig. 4, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 adopt a triangular spiral winding method, in the structure illustrated in fig. 5, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 adopt a circular spiral winding method, in the structure shown in fig. 6, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 adopt a comb-tooth-shaped winding method.

An alignment film 5 can be arranged between the microstrip line and the liquid crystal layer 3, an alignment film 5 can be arranged between the fixed potential electrode layer 4 and the liquid crystal layer 3, the alignment film 5 is used for carrying out initial alignment on liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 3, the fixed potential electrode layer 4 is used for providing fixed potential, for example, ground potential, the first microstrip line 11 and the second microstrip line 12 are used for providing potential for controlling deflection of the liquid crystal besides being used for transmitting electromagnetic wave signals, in the working process of the liquid crystal phase shifter, the liquid crystal deflects under the control of voltage between the microstrip line and the fixed potential electrode layer 4, and the phase shifting function of the electromagnetic wave signals can be realized through the deflection of the liquid crystal.

The connection in the embodiments of the present application includes both direct connection and coupling connection. Since the same liquid crystal phase shifter unit 10 in the embodiment of the present application includes two microstrip lines, and each microstrip line needs to be connected to a corresponding element to implement a transceiving function, in order to implement signal transmission between the two microstrip lines and the corresponding element, the connection between the element and the corresponding microstrip line can be implemented by arranging the through hole 6 on the second substrate 22, so that signal interference between different microstrip lines can be reduced, and in addition, the differential loss of signal transmission can be reduced. In other embodiments, the element can also be coupled directly to the connection end of the microstrip line without drilling.

Specifically, it should be noted that fig. 13 omits a partial structure in the liquid crystal phase shifter, and only illustrates the first microstrip line 11, the second microstrip line 12, and the four connection devices 100 in the liquid crystal phase shifter unit, that is, for example, in the same liquid crystal phase shifter unit, the second substrate has two through holes corresponding to two ends of the first microstrip line 11 and two through holes corresponding to two ends of the second microstrip line 12, respectively, a corresponding connecting device 100 is disposed in each through hole, the connecting device 100 is connected to the corresponding connecting end through the through hole, outside the first substrate and the second substrate, signal lines connected correspondingly to each of the connection devices 100 are provided, for connecting or coupling the elements at the distal end to the connection ends of the corresponding microstrip lines via the connection device 100, the signal can be any signal line for realizing signal transmission, such as a radio frequency signal line or a cable line.
