Description

Miniaturized multisource and multibeam antenna based on phase gradient super surface
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a multi-beam antenna, and particularly relates to a miniaturized multi-source multi-beam antenna based on a phase gradient super surface.
Background
In recent years, with the development of satellite and wireless communication systems, a single-function directional radiation antenna cannot meet the requirements of high transmission efficiency and diversity in the communication system, and a multi-beam antenna covers a required range by utilizing a plurality of beams, and accurately points to a target by switching the beams to realize real-time communication, so that great attention is paid to different application fields.
In general, the design of implementing multiple beams using phased array network technology can be divided into two approaches: the first is a phase control network composed of active circuit elements such as a multipath phase shifter, a power divider, a coupler and the like, different power distribution and phase distribution can be realized, then the amplitude and the phase of each unit in a planar radiation array are regulated and controlled by a phase control technology, the radiation direction of a wave beam is further changed, and the realization of a multi-wave beam (Wang R, Wang B, Ding X, et al. Planar Phased Array with Wdie-angle Scanning Performance Based on Image Theory. IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. 2015, 63(9), 3908-3917.). is a phase control network based on a passive microwave device, which can output a plurality of groups of excitation signals with uniform amplitude at an output port, and the output signals of adjacent ports have equal phase differences, so that phase control is realized, and a plurality of directional wave beams are further generated. However, by loading the phased antenna array formed by the planar circuit or the butler matrix, the butler matrix (Wincza K, Staszek K, Gruszczynski S. Broadband Multibeam Antenna Arrays Fed by Frequency-Dependent Butler Matrices. IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, 2017, 65(9), 4539-4547.). occupies a larger space, and also causes interference between the radiating array units, which is unfavorable for improving the communication performance and the communication quality.
In view of this, there is a need to replace phased arrays with new materials that are more compact, simpler in construction, and less costly to manufacture to meet the needs of wireless communications.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problem of large volume and high cost of the existing multi-beam antenna, a miniaturized multi-source multi-beam antenna based on a phase gradient super surface is provided.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
A miniaturized multi-source multi-beam antenna based on a phase gradient super surface comprises a super surface layer, an upper medium substrate, a feed network layer, a lower medium substrate and a grounding plate which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom;
The super-surface layer is attached to the upper surface of the upper medium substrate, the feed network layer and the grounding plate are respectively attached to the upper surface and the lower surface of the lower medium substrate, and an air layer is arranged between the upper medium substrate and the feed network layer; the super surface layer is a phase gradient super surface formed by N multiplied by N square ring patches, wherein N is a positive integer; the feed network layer is composed of a central patch and four parasitic patches, wherein the parasitic patches are positioned around the central patch.
Further, the super-surface layer is centrosymmetric, the inner diameter of the square ring patch is kept unchanged, and the outer diameter starts from the central point of the super-surface layer and is reduced from inside to outside and then increased.

Compared with the traditional multi-beam antenna, the antenna does not need to design a complex beam forming network, realizes multi-beams by using a super surface, and has smaller volume, narrower beams and higher isolation.

The super surface layer 1 is attached to the upper surface of the upper medium substrate 2, the feed network layer 3 and the grounding plate 5 are respectively attached to the upper surface and the lower surface of the lower medium substrate 4, and an air layer with the height of h 1 is arranged between the upper medium substrate 2 and the feed network layer 3;
The super surface layer 1 is a phase gradient super surface formed by N multiplied by N square ring patches, the super surface layer 1 is in central symmetry, the inner diameter of the square ring patches is kept unchanged, the outer diameter starts from the central point of the super surface layer 1, and the super surface layer is firstly reduced and then increased from inside to outside, wherein N is a positive integer; the feed network layer 3 comprises a center patch 6 and four parasitic patches 9, the parasitic patches 9 are located around the center patch 6, rectangular gaps 7 are etched at four corners of the center patch 6, cross-shaped gaps 8 are etched at the center, U-shaped gaps 10 are etched at the parasitic patches 9, and openings of the U-shaped gaps 10 face outwards.
In particular, the thickness h 1 of the air layer is 15 mm, n=9.
The upper dielectric substrate 2 and the lower dielectric substrate 4 are made of FR4-epoxy and are 80X 80mm 2 in size. The super surface layer 1, the feed network layer 3 and the ground plate 5 are all metallic copper layers. The square ring patch of the super surface layer 1 has an inner diameter b of 2.8 mm and an outer diameter a 0、a1、a2、a3、a4 of 6.5 mm, 5.8 mm, 5.6 mm, 5.2 mm and 6mm, respectively. The size of the ground plate 5 is 80 x 80mm 2.
The size of the center patch 6 is 38 x 38 mm 2. The size of the rectangular gap 7 is 3×8mm 2. The size of the cross-shaped slit 8 is 29 x 2.5mm 2. The parasitic patch 9 has a size of 19 x 28 mm 2. The U-shaped gaps were 10X 10 mm 2 and 8X 6 mm 2 in size.
In this embodiment, the performance of the antenna is analyzed by taking one port feed as an example, and specifically the following steps are adopted:
Fig. 2 shows radiation patterns corresponding to different super-surface structures of the antenna. Curves 1,2, 3 represent no subsurface, a uniform subsurface, and a phase gradient subsurface, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 2: without the super surface structure, the antenna gain is only 1.84 dBi, the beam is directed in the +z-axis direction, and the 3 dB beam width is 55 degrees. When the uniform square ring super surface is increased, the antenna gain is increased to 9.9 dBi, the main beam direction (θ, ϕ) = (-14 °, 182 °), and the sidelobe levels in the (θ, ϕ) = (0 °, 182 °) and (-14 °, 136 °) directions are 3.67 and 0.1 dB. When the uniform supersurface is replaced with a phase gradient supersurface, the sidelobe levels of the antenna are further reduced to-1.65 and-4.73 dB. The antenna gain reaches 10.08 dBi and the beam width is reduced to 18 deg..
Fig. 3 shows the radiation patterns corresponding to different slot structures loaded on the antenna. Curves 1,2, 3 represent no gap, loading cross-shaped gap, loading U-shaped gap, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 3: when no slot exists, the antenna gain is only 3.84 dBi, the beam is directed to θ=11°, and the sidelobe level in the direction of θ= -15 ° is 3.26 dB. When rectangular slots and cross slots are loaded, the antenna gain increases to 8.98 dBi and the side lobe level in the θ=11° direction decreases to 0.67 dB. When loading the U-shaped slot, the antenna gets a higher gain of 10.08 dBi.
Fig. 4 shows gain patterns corresponding to different lengths of parasitic patches at a plane ϕ =0°. Curves 1,2,3 and 4 represent w 1 = 22, 25, 28 and 31 mm, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 4: when w 1 =22 mm, the antenna gain is only 7.84 dBi. At w 1 =25 and 28 mm, the antenna main lobe gains reach 9.17 and 10.08 dBi, and the side lobe levels are 1.12 and-0.93 dB, respectively. Continuing to increase w 1 to 31 mm, the antenna gain drops to 9.03 dBi. Thus, w 1 = 28 mm is finally selected.
Fig. 5 shows gain patterns corresponding to different intervals of the planar subsurface unit at ϕ =0°. Curves 1,2, 3 and4 represent p 1 = 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 5: when p 1 = 0.5 and 2 mm, the antenna gain decreases to 6.9 and 5.15 dBi, respectively. When p 1 =1 mm, the antenna gain reaches 10.08 dBi, and the beam width is 18 °. When p 1 = 1.5 mm, there is a small increase in beam width and the gain drops to 7.94 dBi. Therefore, in order to obtain a narrow beam with high gain, p 1 =1 mm is finally selected.
Fig. 6 shows gain patterns corresponding to different air layer heights of the antenna. Curves 1,2,3 and 4 represent h 1 = 13mm, 14 mm, 15mm and 16 mm, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 6: when h 1 =13 mm, the antenna maximum gain is 5.2 dBi. h 1 = 14 mm, beam pointing (θ, ϕ) = (-5 °, 182 °), antenna gain reaches 8.44 dBi. Continuing to increase h 1 to 16 mm, the beam is shifted to the left by 14 °, pointing θ= -19 °, but the beam sidelobes increase to 2.03 dB. Thus, the final choice is h 1 = 15mm, the antenna gain is 10.08 dBi, and the sidelobe level is-0.93 dB.
Fig. 7 shows an S parameter diagram of an antenna, curve 1 is S 11 of the antenna, the bandwidth of-10 dB of the antenna is 14.93 GHz-15.11 GHz, curves 2,3 and 4 are S 12、S13、S14 respectively, and the isolation is better than 32.42 dB. Since the antenna is of a centrosymmetric structure, the S parameters of the other port feeds are not listed here.
Fig. 8 shows the radiation pattern of the antenna in the ϕ =0° plane. Curves 1 and 2 represent the main polarization at the 1/3 port feed of the antenna, respectively, and curves 3 and 4 represent the cross polarization at the 1/3 port feed of the antenna, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 8: beam 1/3 is directed (θ, ϕ) = (12 °,0 °), (-12 °,0 °), antenna cross polarization level is lower than-13.85 dB.
Fig. 9 shows the radiation pattern of the antenna in the ϕ =90° plane. Curves 1 and 2 represent the main polarization of the antenna at 2/4 port feed, respectively, and curves 3 and 4 represent the cross polarization of the antenna at 2/4 port feed, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 9: beam 2/4 is directed (θ, ϕ) = (12 °, 90 °), (-12 °, 90 °).
