Description

Ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle tightly-coupled phased array antenna
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, and particularly relates to an ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle tightly-coupled phased array antenna.
Background
The phased array antenna is also called an electric scanning antenna, has the advantages of high scanning speed and high stability, and can realize beam forming and multi-beam scanning. Phased array technology has therefore found widespread use in recent years with radar and communication systems in airborne and space applications. In the current research field of phased arrays, ultra-wideband, especially phased array antenna designs that can cover multiple operating frequency bands, are becoming an important trend. In particular, in order to cope with the battlefield environment of the increasingly complex modern war, military equipment platforms, such as ships and airplanes, need to be equipped with, in addition to the traditional detection radar, various communication and navigation devices, such as weather radar, electronic countermeasure systems and the like. If the narrow-band antennas with different frequency bands are adopted to meet the requirement of various systems for receiving and transmitting information, the number of antennas required on the platform is increased rapidly. Besides occupying a large amount of space, a plurality of radio systems also increase the radar scattering cross section of the ship and bring difficulty to system maintenance. The working frequency band of the ultra-wideband phased array antenna can cover a plurality of octaves, so that the single array can be used for transmitting and receiving broadband or discrete signals, the multifunctional common aperture can be realized, and the integration cost between the antenna and a system is saved. In addition, the ultra-wideband phased array antenna can also improve the capacity and the speed of data transmission, realize a communication system for high-speed data transmission and improve the radar imaging resolution.
The traditional ultra-wideband phased array antenna is often provided with a higher profile, for example, Vivaldi array can reach 12 octaves of impedance bandwidth, but 2-3 times lambda of impedance bandwidth highhigh The wavelength corresponding to the highest operating frequency) limits their use in some carrier platforms where aerodynamic requirements are high. Furthermore, the high profile means that the longitudinal currents along the slot lines will be large, causing crossovers during antenna scanningThe rise of the polarization component. Especially when scanning in the diagonal plane, cross polarization components are often observed to be even larger than main polarization components, which seriously affects the stealth performance.
Munk and Harris corporation of America in 2003 disclose a model 28 x 28 dual polarized array working at 2-18GHz and developed by cooperation with them, and the structural section of the model above the floor is only lambda low /10(λ low Is the lowest operating frequency). Different from the design of a traditional phased array antenna, the antenna is closely arranged in dipole units, and the inductance of the floor caused by low frequency is counteracted through the coupling capacitance among array elements, so that the impedance bandwidth of multiple frequency ranges is realized. The operating bandwidth of the antenna array can be much larger than the operating bandwidth of a single dipole. Such antennas are commonly referred to as tightly coupled phased array antennas. In the first generation of tightly coupled antenna prototype, the feed network used an external balun, a double-cylinder axis and a grounded shield. The external balun can generate differential output signals, and the grounding shielding device can protect and fix the feeder line and can also play a role in avoiding common-mode resonance through the double-coaxial-line feed dipole radiation arms. However, the external feeding structure has the disadvantages of high price, large volume and heavy weight, and is not beneficial to engineering application. To address this issue, the Volakis team proposed the concept of integrated balun (light coupled diode array with integrated balun) in 2012. The design uses a planarized Marchand balun and is integrated with the dipole element into one circuit board. In order to reduce the difficulty of impedance matching from a coaxial line to the aperture of an antenna, in the design, an array unit is divided into two parts, the radiation impedance of the aperture surface is halved, meanwhile, a Wilkinson power divider (Wilkinson power divider) is used for converting the input impedance of 50 omega at the same shaft end into 100 omega, and then Marchand balun is used for completing the conversion from unbalance to balance. Since the antenna and the feeding network are printed on the same dielectric board, the Array is called a Tightly Coupled Dipole Array (TCDA-IB) of Integrated Balun. Finally, the antenna array can realize +/-45-degree scanning angle coverage within a frequency band of 0.68-5 GHz. The team subsequently proposed the tightening of the loading resistance rings and resistance discsThe antenna array is coupled, and a resistor disc is loaded between the dipole and the floor to eliminate short circuit. The array was verified to achieve an impedance bandwidth of 13.3:1 (Active VSWR < 3.0) with a beam sweep range of + -45 deg.. But the efficiency of the antenna is influenced to a certain extent due to the loading of the resistor sheet, and the section of the antenna reaches 1.1 lambda high And is not beneficial to the practical application of engineering. In order to further reduce the profile of the tightly coupled array, Kasemodel proposed a design in which no cladding is used, but a high permeability ferrite material is filled between the antenna and the floor. Reducing the profile height of the antenna to λ low The radiation efficiency of the array will thus be greatly reduced 26. Moreover, ferrite materials are expensive to manufacture and heavy, and are hardly practical.
In summary, the traditional ultra-wideband antenna has the problems of high profile and poor polarization purity. The novel tightly coupled antenna array can realize ultra-wideband scanning under the condition of a lower profile, but also faces the difficulty of feed network design and the problem of antenna efficiency.
