Description

Directional diagram reconfigurable irregular subarray-based antenna and method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of antennas, and in particular, to an antenna and method based on a pattern reconfigurable irregular subarray.
Background
The antenna is a key device for realizing the mutual conversion between the guiding current in the receiver and the transmitter and the electromagnetic wave in the free space, and is one of the basic components of the wireless communication system. Due to limited gain and insufficient directivity of a single antenna element, modern communication devices commonly employ an array antenna, which works cooperatively with multiple elements to increase gain and directivity. Furthermore, the phase shifter is used for applying controllable phase offset to each antenna unit in the array, so that the direction of the synthesized beam in space can be adjusted as required, which is the core principle of the phased array antenna.
However, in order to realize the independent regulation of the feeding amplitude and the feeding phase of each unit, each antenna unit must be provided with a set of independent feeding channels, and the independent feeding channels mainly comprise an active solid-state transceiver component (T/R component), a radio frequency cable, a radio frequency connector and the like. This results in a significant increase in the cost of the multi-channel phased array system. In the electronic devices used in the radio frequency channels described above, the T/R assembly occupies a major cost.
The main stream of phased array antennas include Brick (bridge), tile (Tile) and the highly integrated architecture based on Antenna packages (AoB) that have been raised in recent years. With the development of technology, phased array antennas continue to evolve towards high integration, and AOB structures are increasingly popular, and component layout density is continuously improved. In a highly integrated phased array antenna, if each unit is provided with a T/R assembly at the back end and the assembly is fully constrained within the confines of each unit, this results in a high concentration of heat generated by the T/R assembly, which presents a significant challenge for the heat dissipation of the phased array antenna. Particularly in space environments where air is lacking as a thermal convection medium, the problem of heat dissipation of phased array antennas is particularly pronounced.
The T/R assembly is arranged for each antenna unit, so that the cost of the phased array antenna is increased, the difficulty in heat dissipation is increased, and the size and the weight of the phased array antenna are increased obviously. In the field of satellite-borne platforms with wider phased array antenna application, the requirements for equipment miniaturization and light weight are particularly urgent. Thus, a way to reduce the use of T/R components in an array has arisen. At present, the directions for achieving the purpose mainly comprise the following two types, but the defects exist:
(1) Sparse array scheme
The sparse array is used for selectively reducing the number of used antenna units under the condition that the physical caliber of the array antenna is unchanged, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the number of used radio frequency channels. In the process of selecting the sparse unit, the sparse array can be optimized through an algorithm to ensure that grating lobes are not generated and the side lobe inhibition capability is maintained when the sparse array is scanned as much as possible. Although the aperture of the antenna array surface is not changed, the reduction of the number of antenna units tends to reduce the utilization efficiency of the aperture of the array, which makes the gain of the sparse array relatively low in the array scheme with the same aperture.
(2) Irregular subarray scheme
The irregular subarray is a scheme that on the basis of a conventional phased array antenna, a plurality of adjacent antenna units in the array are connected to the same channel, the same phase and amplitude are adopted, so that subarrays with different shapes and different sizes are formed, and the subarrays are combined into the irregular flexible antenna array. The scheme breaks the periodicity of the antenna array surface while reducing the use of the channel number, avoids the generation of grating lobes, and greatly reduces the phase flexibility among the antenna units. At wide angle scans (scan off-axis angles greater than 45 °), the irregular subarrays may exhibit faster side lobe elevation than regular antenna arrays, which limits their application to wide angle scan scenarios.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made apparent and fully understood from the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the invention are shown. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention. In addition, the technical features of the different embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an antenna based on a pattern reconfigurable irregular subarray according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, including antenna elements 1 arranged at equal intervals horizontally and vertically;
The antenna unit 1 is divided into a two-drive subarray 2 and a three-drive subarray 3, wherein the two-drive subarray 2 comprises two adjacent antenna units 1, and the three-drive subarray 3 comprises three adjacent antenna units 1 which are arranged in a straight line or in an L shape.
Specifically, in the present exemplary embodiment, the antenna unit 1 is divided into the one-drive-two subarrays 2 and the one-drive-three subarrays 3, wherein a single free unit that is not excited is allowed to appear during the division, the one-drive-two subarrays 2, i.e., every two antenna units 1, are subjected to one drive, and the one-drive-three subarrays 3, i.e., every three antenna units 1, are subjected to one drive. Has the following advantages:
(1) low cost, T/R components use much less than conventional active phased array antennas, only 1/3 to 1/2 of the conventional way; the array antenna is easy to layout, the size of the array surface of the antenna is consistent with that of a conventional phased array, but the number of channels used is less than that of the conventional phased array antenna, the density of active periods at the rear end of the array surface of the antenna is greatly reduced, so that devices and signal lines are more loosely arranged, wiring is conveniently laid out, 3 the space is small, the occupied space of active devices is reduced, the number of layers of a plate layer is reduced and the thickness is reduced due to the reduction of wiring and chips, the space of a radio frequency part is smaller due to the combination of the two factors, 4 the heat is less, the heat is easy to dissipate, the total quantity of active devices is reduced to 1/3-1/2 of that of the conventional phased array antenna due to the reduction of the active channels used by the phased array, and the total heat productivity of the array surface is synchronously reduced. Meanwhile, the density of the device is reduced, so that the radiating pipes or radiating fins are conveniently arranged below the array surface, and the device is more beneficial to radiating.
In order to use the number of antenna channels as small as possible, the average number of cells in the subarrays is increased as much as possible during design, but the scanning capability of the antenna array is deteriorated too severely by adopting one-drive-three subarrays, so that a compromise scheme is adopted in array plane design, and a mode of combining one-drive-two subarrays 2 and one-drive-three subarrays 3 is adopted. Meanwhile, the outline of the antenna array approximates a polygon or a circle (fig. 1 is a quadrangle).
More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, the one-drive-two subarrays 2 and one-drive-three subarrays 3 use phase shifters with three shift values, and the sizes of X are calculated from the specific scan maximum angles of the array, respectively corresponding to +x°, 0 °, -x°.
Specifically, in this exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the antenna is entirely composed of a first-drive second subarray 2 and a first-drive third subarray 3, wherein the darkest color is a horizontal first-drive second subarray 2, the darkest color is a first-drive third subarray 3, and the darkest color is a longitudinal first-drive second subarray 2. It can be seen that when the conventional equiphase one-drive multi-array scanning is carried out to 45 degrees, the side lobe inhibition index is-9.49 dBc, and after the mode of the exemplary embodiment is adopted, the side lobe inhibition value is changed to-11.94 dBc, and the side lobe inhibition index is improved by about 2.5dB, so that the improvement is very obvious.
Fig. 4 is a comparison of the off-axis 45 scan patterns of the two scan schemes, and it can be seen that the array scan pointing angle is greater with the addition of the phase shifter in the present exemplary embodiment. Through graph peak statistics, the beam peak point of the conventional equal-phase feeding scheme is 44.25 degrees, the beam peak point angle of the present exemplary embodiment is 45 degrees, and the pointing angle of the present exemplary embodiment is closer to the ideal pointing direction of the phased array, and the pointing is more accurate.
In addition, compared with the arrangement mode of phase shifters in part of the prior art, the number of the phase shifters is not reduced, but 1/3 to 1/2 of the phase shifters are changed into phase shifters with only 3 fixed gears, and the complexity and the cost of the phase shifters are far smaller than those of multi-gear phase shifters used by conventional phased array antennas.
More preferably, in an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, one antenna unit 1 of the two-drive subarray 2 is directly connected to the rf channel as a reference, and the other antenna unit 1 is connected to the rf channel through a phase shifter;
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the antenna units 1 in the middle of the one-drive three subarrays 3 are directly connected with the radio frequency channel, and the antenna units 1 at two sides are connected with the radio frequency channel through phase shifters.
Specifically, in the present exemplary embodiment, a method of adding a phase shifter in a subarray is disclosed. When the phase shifter is in a gear position where no phase shift occurs, the phases of the antenna elements 1 in the subarrays are identical. The phase of the antenna directly connected to the radio frequency channel without the insertion of the phase shifter does not change with the phase shift of the phase shifter, and is regarded as a reference of 0 °. More specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the phase relationship during scanning is such that the phase shifter shift state between the two cells is changed only when the projection value of the vector in the scanning angle direction in the arrangement direction of the two cells in the one-drive-two-subarray 2 reaches a certain magnitude, and the phase difference is applied. The relationship between the phase application and the scanning direction in the one-drive-three subarrays 3 is shown in fig. 9, and the principle is the same as that of the one-drive-two subarrays 2, and the description thereof is omitted. Under the condition of maintaining the advantages of the irregular subarrays, the phase shifters are introduced into the subarrays, so that the reconfigurable function of the subarray directional diagram is realized, and the scanning performance of the array on a large angle is optimized in a targeted manner.
It should be noted that, in part of the prior art, in the form of an array of two parts, the phase shifter is connected to a common link between two antenna units 1, and the phase changes of the phase shifter act on both antenna units at the same time, and their phases are identical. In the present exemplary embodiment, the phase shifter is applied between the two antenna units 1, and is used for adjusting and controlling the phase difference between the two antenna units 1, and the phase between the antenna units 1 in the subarray can be flexibly adjusted.
Meanwhile, when the array scans at a large angle, the state of the phase shifter is changed, so that the subarray directional diagram is changed, and the scanning drop and sidelobe suppression are improved. Specifically, the synthesized sub-pattern peak value formed by the ideal unit of the normal phase is also pointed to the normal phase, and when the phase difference exists between the two antenna units 1, the pattern peak value can deviate from the direction of the pattern with smaller phase, because the two units with the same phase need to move by a wave path difference to compensate the difference value of the excitation phase during pattern synthesis. The beam direction is related to the cell spacing, signal frequency and phase difference, and the formula is sin theta = lambda/d delta phi/2 pi, wherein lambda is wavelength, d is cell spacing, delta phi is adjacent cell phase difference. When the cell pattern is shifted in the scanning direction, the cell pattern gain value at the scanning angle increases, and the cell pattern gain value at the angle opposite to the scanning angle decreases. Therefore, the peak gain of the main lobe of the scan is increased, the grating lobe and the side lobe value in the opposite direction are reduced, and the scan drop and the side lobe suppression are improved.

S106, after obtaining the array with complete pairing, randomly selecting one first-drive and second-drive subarrays 2 for pairing, and not repeatedly selecting until one first-drive and second-drive subarrays 2 for pairing are selected to be adjacent to other two first-drive and second-drive subarrays 2 without intervals, splitting the two first-drive and second-drive subarrays and respectively adding the two first-drive and second-drive subarrays to the two adjacent first-drive and second-drive subarrays 2 for pairing, and randomly distributing the two first-drive and second-drive subarrays 2 if a plurality of adjacent first-drive and second-drive subarrays 2 exist;
S107, repeating S106 until the number of the one-drive three subarrays 3 meets the requirement, and returning to the step S103 if the number of the one-drive three subarrays 3 is insufficient and all the remaining one-drive two subarrays 2 have no two adjacent one-drive two subarrays 2;
S108, counting the number of the remaining one-drive-two subarrays 2, and randomly selecting one-drive-two subarrays 2 to be set to 0, namely blank if the number of the one-drive-two subarrays 2 is 1 more than the required number because of the upward rounding in the step S103.
