Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of antennas, in particular to the technical field of broadband, omnidirectional and circularly polarized antennas.
Background
The existing omnidirectional circularly polarized antenna has many implementation forms, which can be basically divided into 3 implementation modes: helical form, omnidirectional linear and circular polarizer form, electric dipole form. For example, in the patent "omnidirectional circularly polarized helical antenna with a folded structure" (application number: 202110430312.6), the antenna adopts a normal mode helical form, and the working bandwidth of the antenna is improved by adding a helical folded structure at the head end and the tail end of the helix. The electrical performance of the normal mode helical antenna is mainly determined by the pitch, the diameter and the number of winding turns of a helical line, and is sensitive to relevant sizes; the whole size of the antenna is large, the bandwidth is narrow, the process difficulty of the spiral line realization is large, the precision is poor, and the engineering use value is not high. Similarly, as the 'omnidirectional circularly polarized radiation dielectric helical antenna' (application number: 202110680896.2), the antenna adopts a normal mode helical form, and the helical line is printed on a high dielectric constant dielectric material, so that the radiation aperture of the antenna is equivalently increased, the working bandwidth of the antenna is improved, but the effect is limited, and the standing wave bandwidth (VSWR is less than or equal to 2.0) is only 6%; due to the fact that the dielectric constant of the material is high, the electrical performance of the antenna is sensitive to relevant parameters and is not easy to adjust, and engineering difficulty is high.
A conventional horizontal omni-directional antenna generally adopts a linear polarization mode, and how to convert an omni-directional linear polarization radiation characteristic into an omni-directional circular polarization radiation characteristic is described in a patent "a broadband circular polarization antenna with omni-directional radiation" (application No. 201810256238.9): the antenna consists of an omnidirectional linear polarization antenna and a hollow cylindrical circular polarizer positioned outside the omnidirectional antenna; the omnidirectional linear polarization antenna adopts a classic broadband biconical antenna form; the cylindrical circular polarizer consists of N layers of coaxial broken line type metal polarization grids, and each layer of metal polarization grid is arranged in a periodic structure. The realization of the function of the circular polarizer is generated by the mutual action of N layers of coaxial metal polarization grids, the electrical performance of the circular polarizer strictly depends on the relative position relationship among the layers, and the realization process is difficult; meanwhile, the omnidirectional linear polarization biconical antenna has a wider bandwidth, but the working bandwidth of the circular polarizer in the form of the N-layer coaxial metal polarization grating is limited, so that the integral bandwidth of the antenna is limited, and the broadband working requirement cannot be met.
An omnidirectional circularly polarized antenna in the form of an electric dipole, for example, a broadband circularly polarized omnidirectional antenna based on inclined oscillators (application number: 201410301418.6), comprises a feeding part and four groups of inclined oscillators, wherein the four inclined oscillators are uniformly and annularly arranged on a flexible dielectric plate in an equally-divided manner, the flexible dielectric plate is bent into a hollow cylinder, and the four inclined oscillators are welded with a feeding network. The antenna decomposes the electric field of the inclined oscillator into horizontal and vertical polarized electric fields, and feeds the oscillator through the feed network, so that the omnidirectional circular polarization is realized. The circular polarization characteristic of the antenna is strictly limited by the inclination angle of the inclined oscillator, the rigidity of the flexible dielectric plate is poor, the inclination angle of the oscillator is affected by the forming and welding of the flexible dielectric plate, and the performance of the antenna cannot be guaranteed; meanwhile, the mechanical property of the antenna is poor, and the application range is limited. For example, in the patent of subminiature low-profile omnidirectional circularly polarized antenna (application number: 201710260471.X), the antenna is composed of a feed part and a coupling sheet, and four metal short-circuit columns are connected between the tail end of the coupling sheet and a metal floor, so that the size of the antenna is effectively reduced, and is 0.16 lambda 0 ×0.16λ 0 ×0.03λ 0 (λ 0 Air wavelength at the corresponding frequency) the advantages are significant; but the standing wave bandwidth (VSWR is less than or equal to 2.0) and the axial ratio bandwidth (AR is less than or equal to 3dB) of the antenna are only 0.9 percent, and the electrical property loss is serious.
The conventional omnidirectional circularly polarized antenna form has the problems of narrow working bandwidth, high engineering difficulty and incapability of switching the circularly polarized form, and can not meet the application requirements of practical engineering.
