Example four.
Referring to fig. 1g and fig. 1h, a fourth structure of the antenna is specifically as follows:

In the fourth embodiment, in a concrete implementation, the feeder line 4 and the fourth GND metal patches 44 on two sides thereof form a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feeding structure of 50 Ω together.
It should be noted that the antenna with the fourth structure is formed by respectively providing arc patches (i.e., the first arc radiation patch 21 and the second arc radiation patch 22) with the same size and an elliptical groove on the upper side and the lower side of the dielectric substrate 1 on the basis of the antenna with the second structure, and connecting the arc patches through the loading metal via 5.

The gain is increased by about 0.2dBi overall compared to the antenna of the second configuration.
In the fourth embodiment, the dielectric substrate 1 is made of FR4 plate material, mainly considering that it has low cost, and can play a role in saving cost in practical application; the first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and a second arc-shaped radiation patch 22 connected with the first arc-shaped radiation patch through the metal through hole 5 are used as radiation bodies and printed on the dielectric substrate 1 by adopting metal material copper; the elliptical groove 20 is formed on the first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and the second arc-shaped radiation patch 22 in a metal etching mode, and the fourth GND metal patch 44 is printed on the dielectric substrate 1 by using a metal material copper.
And the SMA connector, which connects the feeder line 4 and the GND metal patch 44, is used for feeding the radiation main body (i.e. the first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and the second arc-shaped radiation patch 22) etched with the elliptical slot 20, so as to realize the radiation performance of the antenna.
In the present invention, for the antennas with the third structure and the fourth structure, the metal patches (i.e., the first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and the second arc-shaped radiation patch 22) with the same size are disposed on the upper side and the lower side of the dielectric substrate 1, and the two metal patches are connected by loading the metal via hole 5, so that the coverage of the frequency band can be adjusted by adjusting the sizes of the patches and the elliptical groove.
In the present invention, in terms of specific implementation, for the third and fourth embodiments, in the antennas with the third and fourth structures, the number, position, and size of the metal vias 5 all have a certain influence on the performance of the antenna, and the height is the same as the thickness of the board. The antenna mainly plays a role in connecting metal patches (namely a first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and a second arc-shaped radiation patch 22) on the upper side and the lower side of the dielectric substrate 1, so that no voltage difference exists between the upper layer of patches and the lower layer of patches, loss in the dielectric substrate 1 is reduced, and gain of the antenna is improved.
In the present invention, the dimensions of the dielectric substrate 1 are 15mm in width, 25mm in length, and 1mm in thickness. The thickness of the dielectric substrate 1 is selected to be 1mm, so that the antenna self-supporting problem is considered, the antenna is too thin and can be bent, the performance of the antenna is affected, and the processing and mass production are not facilitated.
In the present invention, considering that the size and shape of the slots in the first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and the second arc-shaped radiation patch 22 have an influence on the antenna impedance matching condition and the antenna gain, the gain effect of the elliptical slot 20 is verified to have an excellent gain effect, and since the shapes of the peripheral outer edges of the first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and the second arc-shaped radiation patch 22 are arcs, the antenna gain adjustment range can be larger when the elliptical slot is selected.
Based on the technical scheme, the invention relates to four scientific, low-cost and compact patch ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna structures with elliptical grooves, and the sizes of the medium substrate 1 are 15 multiplied by 25 multiplied by 1mm3. Under the condition that the basic shape of the arc-shaped radiation patch with the oval slot is kept unchanged, the four antenna structures can cover 5.15-5.875GHz (WLAN) frequency bands by adjusting the size of the arc-shaped radiation patch.
It should be noted that, in the implementation, the longitudinal length and the transverse width of the arc-shaped radiation patch are main factors affecting the resonant frequency of the antenna, so that the frequency band covered by the impedance bandwidth, the dimensions of the arc-shaped radiation patch and the elliptical groove, etc. can be adjusted by adjusting the length and the width of the arc-shaped radiation patch, and the resonant frequency is also affected.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 shows the S11 parameter obtained by simulation of four antenna structures, and it can be seen that when the return loss is less than-10 dB, the frequency band ranges of the four antenna structures can cover 5.15-5.875 GHz.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows actual gain parameters obtained by simulation of four antenna structures, and it can be seen that in two feeding modes, the gain of the antenna can be improved by connecting the first arc-shaped radiation patch and the second arc-shaped radiation patch through the metal via hole 5.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 shows simulated voltage standing wave ratio parameters of four antenna structures, which reflect the impedance matching of the antenna, and it can be seen from fig. 4 that the four antenna structures are all less than 2 in the coverage frequency band of the impedance bandwidth, which shows that they have good impedance matching performance.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 shows an antenna efficiency diagram obtained according to the actual gain/directivity coefficient obtained by the simulation of the four antenna structures, and it can be seen that the connection between the first arc-shaped radiation patch and the second arc-shaped radiation patch is performed through the metal via hole 5 in two feeding modes, which can indeed improve the antenna efficiency.
According to the invention, the size of the dielectric substrate of the antenna is kept unchanged, and the upper and lower layers of metal patches connected through the metal via hole on the dielectric substrate can effectively reduce the loss in the dielectric substrate compared with the single-layer wiring condition of the dielectric substrate in two feeding modes of microstrip line feeding and coplanar waveguide feeding, so that the antenna gain is improved.
Compared with the prior art, the UWB antenna gain improvement structure for WLAN application provided by the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. compared with the existing antenna with single-layer wiring of the dielectric substrate, the invention has the advantages that the loss in the dielectric substrate 1 can be effectively reduced by the upper and lower metal patches (namely the arc-shaped radiation patches) connected with each other through the metal through hole on the dielectric substrate 1 in two feeding modes of microstrip line feeding and coplanar waveguide feeding under the condition of keeping the size of the dielectric substrate 1 of the antenna unchanged, so that the gain of the antenna is improved.
It should be noted that, in the antenna design of the first structure and the second structure, a part of energy is dissipated in the dielectric substrate, so as to reduce the gain of the antenna, and for this reason, the invention further proposes an optimization mode that: the upper and lower metal patches (namely the first arc-shaped radiation patch 21 and the second arc-shaped radiation patch 22) are connected on the dielectric substrate 1 through the metal via holes 5, so that the current distribution of the upper and lower metal patches is the same, and no voltage difference exists between the upper and lower metal patches, therefore, the energy dissipated in the dielectric substrate is greatly reduced, the unnecessary energy loss of the antenna is reduced, and the antenna gain is improved.
2. The medium substrate of the invention uses FR4 board, so the production cost is greatly reduced.
3. Through a series of optimization, the four antenna structures adopted by the invention can work in a frequency band of 5.15-5.875 GHz. Through inspection, compared with the antenna with the first structure, the antenna with the third structure has the advantage that the gain is improved by 0.9dBi to the maximum extent; the antenna gain of the fourth structure is improved by about 0.2dBi as a whole compared with the antenna of the second structure.
In summary, compared with the prior art, the gain improvement structure of the UWB antenna for WLAN application provided by the present invention has a scientific structural design, and compared with the existing single-layer wiring condition of the dielectric substrate, the antenna of the present invention, through the structural design of the arc-shaped radiation patch on the dielectric substrate, can not only cover the 5.15-5.875ghz (WLAN) frequency band, but also effectively improve the gain of the antenna, has good impedance matching performance, and has significant practical significance.
In addition, the upper layer of metal patches and the lower layer of metal patches (namely the arc-shaped radiation patches) which are connected through the metal through holes are arranged on the dielectric substrate of the antenna, so that the loss in the dielectric substrate can be effectively reduced, and the gain of the antenna is further improved.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
