Description

Dual-mode dual-circularly-polarized antenna array
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a circularly polarized antenna array, and more particularly, to a dual-mode dual circularly polarized antenna array.
Background
Circularly Polarized (CP) antennas are widely used in Global Positioning Systems (GPS), satellites and radar scenarios due to their good multipath interference resistance and convenient polarization matching, and in addition, CP antennas have the advantages of high flexibility, better mobility, reduced multipath reflections in transmission and reception, etc., making them increasingly interesting to researchers. The partition plate circular polarizer is formed by inserting the stepped diaphragm into the square hollow waveguide, can simultaneously form double circular polarization, has the advantages of compact structure and easiness in manufacturing, and is very suitable for array application. However, if such a diaphragm circular polarizer is used directly as a large-scale array of radiating elements, the layout of the feed network is difficult to achieve, especially for the millimeter-wave band. To overcome this difficulty, it is usually chosen to add a step-type coupled resonator to the diaphragm polarizer to obtain sufficient space for designing the feed network, but this in turn increases its profile height, which also results in the generation of grating lobes.
The two-layer parallel feed network is arranged in the reported baffle plate dual circularly polarized antenna array so far, and when a large-scale array is arranged, the plane of the antenna is very high, and the problem of high side lobe is also caused. In document 1 ("a wide Dual circular Polarized Full-corporation wave Array Antenna tertiary Triple-Antenna antennas"), a diaphragm Dual Circularly Polarized Antenna Array is disclosed, which has a high planar surface reaching 50.6mm (5.06 wavelengths) and high side lobes, and the structure of the radiating portion is complex, the gain is low, and the efficiency is not very ideal. Therefore, the baffle plate dual circularly polarized antenna can hardly meet the actual requirement of a microwave communication link, and the applicability still needs to be improved.
