Description

Broadband common-mode absorption differential feed type dual-mode patch antenna and antenna array
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of differential feed type antennas, and particularly relates to a broadband common-mode absorption differential feed type dual-mode patch antenna and an antenna array.
Background
With the development of modern wireless communication technology, the antenna, as an important rf front-end device, is rapidly developing in the direction of miniaturization, multifunction, easy integration with a system, and the like. Differential feed technology is widely used in the design of microwave devices (such as filters, antennas, etc.) and high-speed digital electronic circuits because of its advantages of noise immunity, crosstalk immunity, and low electromagnetic interference. Compared with the traditional single-port feed antenna, the antenna designed based on the differential feed technology generally has the advantages of low cross polarization, suppression of even harmonics, electromagnetic interference resistance and easy integration with a differential circuit. Therefore, designing a high-performance differential antenna has become one of the hot spots in recent years.
At present, the existing differential feed antenna can be divided into a microstrip patch antenna, a dielectric resonator antenna, a magnetoelectric dipole antenna, a slot antenna, and the like according to a radiation unit. The differential microstrip patch antenna and the dielectric resonator antenna designed based on the multimode theory can solve the problem of narrow working bandwidth caused by high-Q-value cavity resonance, and improve the antenna gain while widening the working bandwidth of the antenna. In addition, the magnetoelectric dipole antenna, the cavity-backed slot antenna and the like designed based on the differential feed technology have excellent dual-polarization characteristics, can enhance the channel capacity of a wireless communication system, and reduce the multipath fading of signals. However, the above-mentioned differential feed antennas have poor common mode rejection performance while achieving excellent differential mode radiation characteristics.
Common mode rejection characteristics are a design challenge for any balanced device because of the inevitable introduction of imbalance factors in an actual circuit or system, such as: asymmetry of the differential wiring, imbalance of the differential signals (unequal rise and fall times, inconsistent amplitude and phase), and the like, which may cause some useful differential signals to be converted to common mode noise. For differential antennas, the introduction of common mode noise can reduce the antenna cross-polarization level, produce uncertain common mode radiation, and interfere with effective differential mode radiation. Therefore, good common mode rejection characteristics are also critical for differential antennas.
Two common mode rejection methods are available, the first method is to cascade a common mode filter in the front stage circuit of the differential antenna, but this inevitably reduces the system integration level and introduces extra loss; the second is to design a differential antenna with common mode rejection characteristics. Currently, slot antennas designed based on differential feed technology have intrinsic common mode rejection characteristics. The common mode rejection is achieved by mode mismatch between the slot resonant mode with odd symmetry properties and the common mode signal. However, the common-mode rejection performance of such differential slot antennas is based on the reflection mechanism. When such an antenna is integrated with a differential circuit or system, the reflected common-mode signal (noise) returns to the front-stage circuit of the antenna, thereby affecting the normal operation of the front-stage circuit or system. It can be said that the slot antenna designed based on the differential feed technique does not completely solve the problem of common mode interference. Therefore, the differential antenna with broadband common-mode absorption performance and used for thoroughly solving the common-mode interference problem has important practical application value.

The planar array of the differential antenna with 2 x 4 units obtained based on the broadband common-mode absorption differential feed type dual-mode patch antenna of any one of claims 1 to 5, is characterized in that the planar array of the antenna comprises a radiating unit planar array consisting of 8 radiating patches (1), an upper dielectric substrate (41), a common metal ground layer (2), a lower dielectric substrate (42) and a differential power division feed network (7) applied to the planar array of the antenna from top to bottom;
the common metal ground layer (2) and the upper medium substrate (41) need to be bonded by a bonding layer (5) for lamination processing;
8T-shaped coupling apertures (21) are etched on the common metal ground layer (2) to form a coupling aperture planar array so as to realize electromagnetic coupling between the differential power division feed network (7) and the radiating element planar array;
the differential power division feed network (7) applied to the antenna planar array is formed by two identical 1-to-8 power division networks which are oppositely connected in a central rotation symmetry mode and 8 absorption branch nodes loaded on corresponding symmetry planes.
