Description

Transmission array antenna unit with wide frequency band amplitude and phase adjusted and controlled simultaneously
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, and relates to a transmission array antenna unit with a wide frequency band and simultaneously regulated amplitude and phase.
Background
The transmission array antenna is a novel high-gain antenna, combines the advantages of a lens antenna and a microstrip array, has an extremely low profile, a light and easy-to-process structure, high radiation efficiency, low cost and no need of a complex feed network, and can independently control the phase of a transmission array unit, thereby greatly improving the flexibility of the radiation characteristic of the transmission array. More importantly, the transmissive array has no feed blocking problem compared to the reflective array antenna, which makes the transmissive array more efficient. Conventional amplitude and phase units are mostly based on C-shaped structured reflective units. In order to obtain higher transmittance, a transmissive array cell is usually designed by stacking a plurality of metal layers and dielectric layers, and the transmission amplitude of the cell cannot be changed by changing structural parameters. In order to achieve simultaneous amplitude and phase modulation, additional complex structures are usually introduced. These methods all make the cell structure complex and difficult to process, and the amplitude and phase control of the cells can affect each other. In order to realize higher-level electromagnetic wave regulation in a broadband, the invention provides a transmission array antenna unit for synchronously regulating and controlling broadband amplitude and phase. The continuous change of the transmission amplitude of 0-1 and the transmission phase of 0-360 degrees is realized by changing the direction and the size of the opening of the square metal ring. The simultaneous design of amplitude and phase can effectively improve the performance of the array antenna, for example, the low side lobe antenna is realized.
