Description

Broadband Nolen matrix with flat amplitude and phase between output ports
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of microwave antennas, in particular to a broadband Nolen matrix with flat amplitude and phase between output ports.
Background
A beam forming network is an important component of a multi-beam antenna array. The main functions of the beam forming network are to provide different power and phase distributions on the antennas, so that the control of the beam directivity and the formation of a multi-beam antenna can be achieved. A Butler matrix is more commonly used in beamforming networks. The Butler matrix has the advantages of convenience, simplicity, low loss and the like, and is widely used in a beam forming network. However, in the structural design of the Butler matrix, the complexity of the Butler matrix is increased due to the use of the cross-junctions. In order to simplify the structure of the Butler matrix, a Blass matrix and a Nolen matrix are proposed. The Blass matrix mainly comprises a coupler, a phase shifter and a load end, and has the same input and output ports as the Butler matrix. Due to the presence of the termination load, a portion of the energy will flow into the load, resulting in a lower overall efficiency of the Blass matrix than the Butler matrix.
The Nolen matrix structurally reduces the use of cross-junctions compared to the Butler matrix, so that the whole circuit structure is simpler, the size of the whole structure is reduced compared to the Blass matrix, and energy loss is reduced. However, the couplers are connected by a phase shift line, and thus the amplitude and phase difference between the output ports are not flat. The output amplitude and the output phase difference of the currently proposed Nolen matrix have discrete characteristics, the required amplitude and phase difference cannot be realized in a wide band, and the research on the Nolen matrix of the wide band is less, so that the Nolen matrix which realizes the flatness of the amplitude and the phase difference between output ports in the wide band is proposed.
