Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an ultra wideband dual polarized lens antenna 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a microstrip radiator 1, a metal back cavity 2, a microstrip feed balun 3 and a dielectric lens 4, wherein the microstrip radiator 1 is a four-arm sinusoidal antenna, and a tail end 111 of each radiating arm 11 of the microstrip radiator 1 is a meandering curve; the metal back cavity 2 is arranged on one side of the microstrip radiator 1 and is used for generating unidirectional radiation; the microstrip feed balun 3 is arranged in the metal back cavity 2, one end of the microstrip feed balun is connected with the microstrip radiator 1, and the other end of the microstrip feed balun is connected with the coaxial connector 5; the dielectric lens 4 is arranged on the side of the microstrip radiator 1 away from the metal back cavity 2.
In the present embodiment, the microstrip radiator 1 is used for radiating antenna waves, and both sides of the microstrip radiator 1 are radiated, that is, radiation energy is bidirectional. The microstrip radiator 1 adopts a sine antenna structure, the sine antenna structure belongs to a quasi-logarithmic periodic structure with independent frequency, and the radiation mechanism is similar to a logarithmic periodic antenna, so that the microstrip radiator has obvious ultra-wideband characteristics. In particular, a sinusoidal antenna belongs to a non-frequency-variable antenna, and the impedance characteristic and directional performance of the non-frequency-variable antenna are kept unchanged or slightly changed in a wider frequency range, i.e., stable impedance characteristic and good pattern characteristic are exhibited in an extremely wide frequency band, and thus ultra-wideband characteristic is exhibited. As shown in fig. 4, the basic composition of the sinusoidal antenna is sinusoidal, and can be formed by a proper rotation of the basic sinusoidal curve; the radiation arm 11 of the sine antenna comprises a plurality of sections of sine curves, and the sections of sine curves are connected into a whole by turning back and forth and turning back and forth at a certain angle from the feed center of the sine antenna to form a non-closed structure; the number of radiating arms 11 of the sinusoidal antenna may be two, four or eight etc. In the present application, the microstrip radiator 1 includes two pairs of radiating arms 11 with central symmetry, the feed point is located at the center of the microstrip radiator 1, and four radiating arms 11 extend outwards from the central feed point of the microstrip radiator 1 to form a four-arm sinusoidal antenna.
The metal back cavity 2 is arranged on one side of the microstrip radiator 1 and is used for enabling the microstrip radiator 1 to generate directional radiation facing away from one side of the metal back cavity 2, so that the ultra-wideband dual-polarized lens antenna 100 can obtain unidirectional radiation, and the antenna efficiency is improved; meanwhile, the metal back cavity 2 is also used for fixedly mounting the microstrip feed balun 3 and the microstrip radiator 1, so that all the components are easier to fix, and the reliability of the antenna system is enhanced.
The microstrip feed balun 3 is used for feeding the microstrip radiator 1, the microstrip feed balun 3 is connected with the microstrip radiator 1 and the coaxial connector 5, and the coaxial connector 5 is used for connecting a coaxial cable. When the coaxial cable is used for feeding, current can be balanced through the microstrip feed balun 3, unbalanced feeding is converted into balanced double-wire feeding, impedance transformation is realized, and good matching of antenna impedance is realized.
Specifically, the microstrip feed balun 3 employs two sets of microstrip balun to feed two pairs of opposing radiating arms 11, respectively. When the first pair of opposed radiating arms 11 are fed differentially, the sinusoidal antenna radiates a linear polarization; when the second pair of opposite radiating arms 11 is fed differentially, the sinusoidal antenna radiates a linear polarization orthogonal to the radiation from the first pair of radiating arms 11, so that the sinusoidal antenna can output two orthogonal linear polarized beams simultaneously, and thus can form a left-hand or right-hand circular polarization characteristic, i.e., a dual circular polarized sinusoidal antenna. Therefore, the dual-polarized symmetrical four-arm sine antenna can provide a wide working frequency band in a low-profile structure, can realize dual polarization, and has the characteristics of planarization, wide frequency band, full polarization and single aperture.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, the end 111 of the radiating arm 11 refers to a terminal sine curve located at the outermost side of the microstrip radiator 1; "tortuosity" refers to the direction of extension of the end sinusoid having a plurality of curved bends 112 so that the current has a longer path length as it passes through the end sinusoid. The tail end 111 of each radiating arm 11 of the microstrip radiator 1 is a zigzag curve, so that the length of a current path on the radiating arm 11 can be effectively increased, the antenna frequency band is expanded to low frequency, the low-frequency radiation characteristic of the four-arm sine antenna is improved, the size of the microstrip radiator 1 is not required to be increased, the impedance matching loss is not required to be increased, and the performance deterioration of the antenna is avoided.
Further, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the dielectric lens 4 has a beam condensing function; the dielectric lens 4 is arranged on one side of the microstrip radiator 1 far away from the metal back cavity 2, that is, the dielectric lens 4 is added in front of the microstrip radiator 1 along the radiation direction of the antenna, so that the antenna beam can be more focused in ultra-wideband, and the single-antenna gain can be effectively improved. Specifically, the focus of the dielectric lens 4 is located at the phase center of the microstrip radiator 1.
According to the ultra-wideband dual-polarized lens antenna 100 of the embodiment, the microstrip radiator 1 is a four-arm sine antenna, so that a wide working frequency band can be provided in a low-profile structure, dual polarization can be realized, the tail end 111 of each radiating arm 11 is a zigzag curve, the length of a current path on the radiating arm 11 is effectively increased, the antenna frequency band is expanded towards low frequency, the low-frequency radiation characteristic of the antenna is improved, the antenna has a wider bandwidth, the size of the microstrip radiator 1 is not required to be increased, and the size of the antenna is reduced; meanwhile, the dielectric lens 4 is added in front of the microstrip radiator 1, so that the antenna can have focused beam direction and higher gain in a wide frequency band, the ultra-wideband dual-polarized lens antenna 100 has the characteristics of wide frequency band and small size, and has higher single-antenna gain, and the requirements of dual polarization, higher gain and miniaturization in the ultra-wideband can be met simultaneously for special application fields such as specific communication, radar detection, wide-frequency band test and the like, and the problem that the traditional back cavity sine antenna is difficult to meet the requirements of higher gain and miniaturization in the ultra-wideband simultaneously is effectively solved.
In some embodiments, the ultra-wideband dual-polarized lens antenna 100 is based on a traditional quadrifilar antenna, and based on an end meandering method, the traditional curved antenna arm is improved, the low-frequency radiation characteristic of the quadrifilar antenna is improved, the bandwidth of the antenna is expanded towards lower frequency, and meanwhile, the antenna can have focused beam direction and higher gain in a wide frequency band of 1.5GHz-18GHz by arranging the dielectric lens 4. I.e., the ultra-wideband dual-polarized lens antenna 100 operates in the frequency band of 1.5GHz-18GHz.
In some embodiments, the microstrip radiator 1 and the microstrip feed balun 3 are both printed by microstrip plates, so that the processing precision is high and the consistency is good.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the tip 111 is a wavy line, a zigzag line, or a combination of wavy and zigzag lines.
In this embodiment, the wavy line refers to an extending direction along the end section of the sinusoidal curve, and the two sides of the curve are provided with a plurality of bending and bending parts 112, so as to form wavy bending and extending, and the bending and bending parts 112 of the wavy line are arc-shaped protrusions or arc-shaped grooves. The zigzag line is an extension direction along the end section sinusoidal curve, at least one side of the curve is provided with a plurality of bending parts 112, zigzag bending extension is formed, and the bending parts 112 of the zigzag line are angular protrusions. The end 111 of the radiation arm 11 may be a zigzag line, a wavy line, or a combination of a wavy line and a zigzag line, that is, a part of the line segments of the end 111 are wavy lines and a part of the line segments are zigzag lines.

In this embodiment, the metal cavity 21 is used for fixedly mounting the microstrip radiator 1, the metal cavity 21 is internally provided with a cavity, the top of the metal cavity 21 is provided with an opening, and the bottom is closed, the microstrip radiator 1 is fixedly mounted on the top of the metal cavity 21, so that electromagnetic waves radiated by the microstrip radiator 1 towards the bottom of the metal cavity 21 (i.e. backward radiation) are blocked, thereby generating directional radiation (i.e. forward radiation) towards the direction of the dielectric lens 4, and realizing the unidirectional radiation characteristic of the ultra-wideband dual-polarized lens antenna 100; meanwhile, the wave absorbing member 23 is fixedly arranged at the bottom in the metal cavity 21, the wave absorbing member 23 is made of wave absorbing material, the wave absorbing material can absorb or greatly weaken electromagnetic wave energy received by the surface, the wave absorbing member 23 is used for absorbing electromagnetic waves of backward radiation, generation of cavity resonance is restrained, interference of the backward radiation on forward radiation is reduced, and good unidirectional radiation performance is obtained. The fixing piece 22 is used for integrally installing and fixing the microstrip feed balun 3 and the antenna matching impedance, and the metal back cavity 2 effectively realizes better matching of unidirectional radiation characteristics and antenna impedance.
Specifically, the metal cavity 21 is a metal material, for example, aluminum, copper, steel, or the like.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the fixing member 22 is a metal material member, and the outer diameter of the fixing member 22 gradually decreases from the bottom to the top.
In the present embodiment, the metal material may be aluminum, copper, steel, or the like; the bottom end of the fixing member 22 is connected to the bottom end of the metal cavity 21, and the top end of the fixing member 22 is near the top end of the metal cavity 21. Through setting up mounting 22 for the metallic material finished piece, mounting 22 can play the reflection effect, can outwards reflect the electromagnetic wave that will radiate into in the metal chamber 21 to mounting 22 can occupy the space of partly absorbing member 23, thereby reduces absorbing member 23's size, and then reduces electromagnetic wave energy absorption, synthesizes the effect of both and can reduce antenna efficiency's loss. By arranging the fixing piece 22 with the outer diameter gradually reduced from the bottom end to the top end, the fixing piece 22 is in a conical table shape, the peripheral wall of the fixing piece 22 is a conical surface, so that the distance from the radiation surface of the microstrip radiator 1 to the metal bottom surface (namely, the bottom in the metal cavity 21 or the peripheral wall of the fixing piece 22) is changed, the distance from the radiation surface of the microstrip radiator 1 to the metal bottom surface is in a gradual change state, the frequency change of the radiation electromagnetic wave from the center of the microstrip radiator 1 to the periphery is adapted, impedance matching of different frequency bands is facilitated in electrical performance, impedance matching of the whole frequency band is improved, and good matching of antenna impedance is facilitated; and the fixing effect of the metal frustum-shaped fixing piece 22 on the microstrip feed balun 3 is better and more stable.

The bottom end inner diameter of the wave-absorbing member 23 is the same as the bottom end outer diameter of the fixing member 22, so that the inner ring bottom end of the wave-absorbing member 23 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the fixing member 22. By setting the inner ring side of the wave absorbing member 23 as a conical surface, a space is reserved between the wave absorbing member 23 and the outer peripheral wall of the fixing member 22, and the space distance is gradually increased from the bottom end to the top end of the wave absorbing member 23, on one hand, the gradual change shape of the wave absorbing member 23 is adapted to the frequency change of the electromagnetic wave radiated from the center to the outer periphery of the microstrip radiator 1, the effect of absorbing electromagnetic wave energy is better, the fixing member 22 is convenient to reflect the electromagnetic wave and improve the impedance matching of the antenna, and the unidirectional radiation performance of the antenna is ensured; on the other hand, the wave-absorbing material does not fill the whole metal cavity 21, and the wave-absorbing material has nonuniform thickness from inside to outside, so that the structure can obviously reduce the absorption of backward radiation electromagnetic waves, avoid the great attenuation of radiation energy, reduce the efficiency loss of the antenna, inhibit the cavity resonance, save the wave-absorbing material and reduce the cost.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the wave absorbing member 23 includes a plurality of layers of wave absorbing bodies 231 stacked in a bottom-to-top direction, and the wave absorbing materials of the plurality of layers of wave absorbing bodies 231 are different.
