With the increasing demand for flexibility and mobility of communication systems, the disadvantages of heavy weight and large volume of the traditional parabolic antenna are increasingly manifested. With the rapid development of microstrip antennas and the requirements for low cost and high gain of microstrip antennas, the research on array reflection antennas taking microstrip units as the main form has received more and more attention, and has become an important component of ultra-large array plane applications.
The reflective array bandwidth is limited due to the dispersive nature of the resonant planar elements. For small and medium-sized planar reflective arrays, solutions to bandwidth limitation are common, such as using multiple resonant units, phase delay line units, and sub-wavelength units to improve linearity of phase-frequency characteristics of the units and reduce quantization phase errors of the units. However, it is known that as the aperture of the array antenna increases, the difference between the reflection phases at the same position and different frequencies increases, the bandwidth problem becomes more serious, and the overall bandwidth and aperture efficiency of the antenna will decrease; meanwhile, the large-aperture plane reflection array antenna is affected by various factors to cause narrow bandwidth and unstable frequency point. The above-mentioned common solutions for solving the bandwidth limitation cannot achieve the effect in the large-aperture planar reflective array antenna well, which undoubtedly restricts the application of the large-aperture planar reflective array antenna in practical engineering.

But fractal structures or meander elements are limited by the non-coherence of the fractal rules and patterns, resulting in poor tunability of modeling and phase adjustment. Under the situation, the invention provides the large-caliber broadband planar reflective array with higher caliber efficiency, which has practical significance.

The technical solutions in the embodiments disclosed in the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments disclosed in the present application, and it is obvious that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the disclosure, its application, or uses. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments disclosed in the present application without making any creative effort, shall fall within the scope of the protection of the present disclosure.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to a reflective array element, which comprises a dielectric substrate 1 and a metal floor 2, and is characterized in that a radiation patch 3 positioned on the front surface of the dielectric substrate 1 is designed into a multi-resonance structure with a coherent curve outline, and the radiation patch 3 achieves the purpose of phase compensation through the adjustment of the amplitude of the contour curve. The contour curve of the radiation patch 3 in the invention is obtained by Boolean operation, is different from discontinuous unit curve of a winding line in figure 1, the curve course of the contour curve is periodically changed and is changed according to a certain functional relation, so that the modeling and the analysis are convenient, and the phase control is realized by prolonging the surface current path of an element. The multi-resonance structure is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the phase shift characteristic and has continuity and adjustability.
In a preferred element structure, the radiation patch 3 includes a hollow ring unit 31 and a central unit 32, the central unit 32 is embedded in the hollow part of the hollow ring unit 31, and the inner and outer contours of the hollow ring unit 31 are non-intersecting with the contour of the central unit 32 and have a consistent variation trend. The curve amplitude of the hollow ring unit 31 corresponds to the reflection phase adjustment, and the gap adjustment between the hollow ring unit 31 and the central unit 32 corresponds to the frequency-phase response characteristic of the adjustable slope, so that the phase adjustment and the spatial dispersion compensation are realized, and the wide working frequency band is realized. Since the outer hollow unit and the inner solid unit are independent of each other, which is advantageous for simplifying the design, the split structure of the radiation patch 3 is shown in fig. 2.
As a preferred embodiment, the outline curve of the radiation patch 3 is a circular cosine curve, and the mathematical expression thereof is:
Figure BDA0003682062170000051
w is a fixed multiple, R is a fixed radius value, A is an amplitude coefficient, S is a proportionality coefficient, the amplitude coefficient A is used for reflection phase adjustment, and the proportionality coefficient S is used for frequency-phase response characteristic adjustment of an adjustable slope. The shape evolution diagrams of the hollow ring unit 31 and the central unit 32 under the evolution of the amplitude coefficient A are shown in FIG. 3, and the shape evolution diagram of the central unit 32 under the evolution of the scale coefficient S is shown in FIG. 4
When the amplitude coefficient A is increased, the surface current path of the element can be prolonged to realize phase shift and miniaturization of the reflective array unit; when the scaling factor S is increased, the resonance frequency is more concentrated, which results in an increase in the absolute value of the slope of the frequency-phase response characteristic. By drawing a curve chart shown in fig. 5 for the frequency-phase response of the reflective array element of the embodiment in different parameter combinations, it can be seen from the graph that the contour circumference cosine curve of the element has good linearity of phase-frequency characteristics and adjustable slope under the adjustment of the amplitude coefficient a and the proportionality coefficient S. And the reflection coefficient curves under different combinations of parameters are shown in fig. 6, from which it can be seen that the proposed cell loss is very small for the range of 3-9 GHz.
In the embodiment, the patch unit with a circular cosine curve structure is adopted, and spatial dispersion compensation is performed on patches at different positions of the planar reflective array by using the frequency-phase response characteristic of an adjustable slope, so that a wider working frequency band is realized. And the radius of the circumference is fixed, phase adjustment is realized by changing the amplitude of a cosine curve, the size of the patch is kept as fixed as possible, and a more accurate result can be provided for infinite array analysis. When the value of w is 16, the patch unit has 45-degree rotational symmetry, so that the planar reflective array antenna formed by the patch unit is suitable for double linear polarization and double circular polarization simultaneously, and the application range of the planar reflective array can be expanded.
The proportionality coefficient of the outer contour circumference cosine curve of the hollow ring unit 31 of the radiation patch 3 is larger than the proportionality coefficient of the inner contour circumference cosine curve and is a fixed value, and the proportionality coefficient of the contour circumference cosine curve of the central unit 32 is an adjustable variable smaller than the proportionality coefficient of the contour circumference cosine curve of the hollow ring unit 31.
In a specific embodiment, the dielectric substrate 1 and the metal floor 2 are opposite to each other and are square F4B plates with side length p =16mm, and the dielectric constant epsilon of the dielectric substrate 1 r =2.55, tan δ =0.002 thickness d =2mm, and an air layer with thickness h =7mm is provided between the dielectric substrate 1 and the metal floor 2, as shown in fig. 7. In order to keep the fixed contour of the element and simplify the design, in the contour circumference cosine curve expression of the radiation patch 3, w is a fixed value of 16, R is a fixed value of 5mm, the proportionality coefficient of the outer contour circumference cosine curve of the hollow ring unit 31 is 1, and the inner contour circumference cosine curve of the hollow ring unit 31Has a scaling factor of 0.8, the central unit 32 scaling factor being a variable by which the size of the internal unit can be adjusted.
The core problem of the array reflection antenna is how to design each unit structure to realize specific phase shift for incident wave, so that the whole reflected wave has the same phase in the required direction, and is emitted in the form of pencil beam.
The invention provides a large-aperture broadband planar reflective array, which adopts the reflective array elements described in any of the above embodiments to perform array arrangement, wherein the reflective array elements at each array position achieve the phase of compensating spatial delay through the adjustment of the amplitude of a profile curve, and achieve the spatial dispersion compensation at the position through the adjustment of the frequency-phase response characteristic of the adjustable slope of the profile curve. When the planar reflection array antenna is formed with a feed source horn, spherical waves emitted by the feed source horn are converted into planar waves through the planar reflection array so as to realize high-gain directional wave beams; especially, the radiating elements with unique circumferential cosine curve characteristics are distributed in an array, the radiating elements can realize 360-degree reflection phase control and frequency-phase response characteristics of adjustable slopes, and meanwhile, the w value can meet 45-degree rotational symmetry, so that the radiating elements are suitable for dual polarization work.
The required reflection phase of each element of the planar reflective array is intended to compensate for the spatial phase delay from the feed horn to that element, which is proportional to the distance from the feed phase center to each element. For pointing in a certain spherical direction (theta) 00 ) The transmission phase of the ith element phi RA Can be calculated by
Figure BDA0003682062170000071
Wherein phi 0 For reference constants, it is shown that the planar reflective array design requires relative reflection phase rather than absolute reflection phase by choosing different reference phases φ for different frequencies 0 (f) The phase shift required for the elements at different positions of the planar reflective array as shown in fig. 8 can be obtained. As can be seen from FIG. 8, the plane reflection at small apertureThe different frequency phase shift curves of the array can be approximately considered linear, but as the aperture increases, phase compensation is required.
The reflective array of the invention can be designed with better effect according to the following steps because of different element compensation at different positions. The design method of the invention comprises the following steps:
step 1, determining the central frequency and structural parameters of a reflective array, including the size, the focal ratio and the incident angle of a feed source;
step 2, determining parameters of the medium substrate and the thickness of the air layer, and optimizing the thickness of the air layer through parameter scanning to balance the slope linearity and the phase sensitivity of a frequency-phase response curve;
step 3, determining the distance between the elements, simulating the amplitude and phase response of the reflective array element and calculating the slope | k of the frequency-phase response curve FP Carrying out multi-parameter optimization on the circumferential cosine curve of the element to establish a database of the reflective array element;
step 4, selecting | k in the database at the array position closest to the feed source FP The element with the smallest value is set as the reference phase phi 0 Will refer to the phase phi 0 Substituting the following equation to obtain the transmission phase phi of the ith element RA
Figure BDA0003682062170000072
Selecting a corresponding transmission phase phi from a database RA The elements are distributed on corresponding positions of the array to form a planar reflection array.
In step 3, the spacing between the reflective array elements should be in sub-wavelength(s) ((<Lambda/2) to avoid grating lobes and to improve radiation efficiency. The re-frequency-phase response curve of the reflective array element is approximate to a straight line, | k, in a wide frequency band (5-7 GHz) FP The | value is the slope of the line, plus the absolute sign for convenient calculation.
Considering the ideal required reflective array element and the actual situation that slight difference exists in the database, the method adds step 5: when the elements corresponding to each array position are searched in the database, a phase error range [ - φ e, + φ e ] is set, and when the elements are selected, the optimal value of the slope in the phase error range is used as a priority condition.
To obtain the most satisfactory array, the method adds step 6: and (4) analyzing the radiation performance of the reflection array by using full-wave electromagnetic simulation, if the phase error and the slope error cannot meet the balance requirement, changing a phase error standard value phi e, and repeating the step 5 until the balance requirement is met.
The planar reflection array antenna is formed by one embodiment to carry out test verification, the reflection array is a 60 multiplied by 60 element array, in order to avoid shielding of the feed source and simplify the alignment process, the feed source is set to be offset feed, the incidence angle of the offset reflection array is set to be 10 degrees, and the reflection wave beam is set to be emitted in the normal direction. The side length of the array surface is 960mm, the focal length is 1248mm, the corresponding Jiao Jingbi is 1.3, the specific parameter values are determined by the irradiation efficiency of the feed source, the central frequency of the planar reflection array is 5.8GHz, and the requirement that the irradiation level of the edge of the transmission array is approximately equal to-10 dB is met. The length of the side of the reflective array element and the interval between the elements are both p =16mm, the element interval p =16mm (0.3 lambda), the dielectric substrate is made of F4B material, and the dielectric constant epsilon r =2.55, tan δ =0.002 thickness d =2mm, air layer thickness h =7mm, and r is fixed to 5mm.
Experiments were carried out according to fig. 9, in which the phase distribution diagram of the reflective array elements in the array is shown in fig. 10, and when the planar reflective array antenna is operated at 5.8GHz, the pattern of the antenna on the E plane is shown in fig. 11, and the pattern on the H plane is shown in fig. 12. As can be seen, the planar reflective array realizes pencil-shaped beams in the normal direction, the maximum directivity coefficient is 33.44dB, the half-power beam angle is less than 3 degrees, and the side lobe level is < -18dB.
And testing at different frequencies to obtain a gain and caliber efficiency curve chart as shown in fig. 13, wherein the peak gain and caliber efficiency are respectively 33.4dB and 51%, the range of 1-dB gain bandwidth is from 5.42GHz to 6.57GHz, and the relative gain bandwidth is 20%. The invention is proved to be capable of keeping good aperture efficiency and bandwidth performance when the aperture of the reflective array is improved.
