Description

A cup-shaped ultra-wideband planar monopole antenna with a stepped open circuit structure floor

technical field

The utility model relates to the technical field of wireless communication antennas, in particular to a cup-shaped ultra-wideband planar monopole antenna with a stepped open-circuit structure floor, which is suitable for ultra-wideband wireless communication systems.

Background technique

With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the wireless communication system is required to have wider bandwidth and higher communication frequency, and the original communication frequency domain can no longer meet the demand. Ultra-wideband technology has the characteristics of large capacity and high speed, which can be used for short-distance large-capacity high-speed transmission and radar detection, and can effectively solve the contradictions and problems faced by modern communication systems. The planar antenna has the advantage of being easy to integrate and can meet the miniaturization requirements of the UWB communication system. In order to achieve a wider impedance bandwidth in the early antennas, the overall size of the antenna was larger. In order to facilitate the integration of ultra-wideband antennas, it is necessary to design an antenna with a smaller size and a wider impedance bandwidth. This makes the research focus shift from expanding the bandwidth to multi- Function and miniaturization design. The ultra-wideband planar slot antenna is to open a wide slot on the floor. The slot structure generally adopts an approximately elliptical or approximately rectangular slot. The radiation and feeding part are similar to the design of the monopole antenna. The coplanar waveguide feeding and wide slot In combination, a wider impedance bandwidth can be obtained by adjusting the impedance matching by using a special geometric combination structure, and the notch characteristic can also be realized through a special structural design. The ultra-wideband planar monopole antenna is widely used and has a relatively simple structure. Through a certain design, a wide impedance bandwidth and omnidirectional radiation characteristics can be obtained. The planar monopole antenna is generally composed of a radiating unit, a floor, a feeder and a dielectric substrate. The radiating unit can be a combination of circular, elliptical, rectangular, or a special geometric structure, so that the surface current of the radiating unit forms resonance to obtain ultra-wideband response. The size of the radiating element determines the minimum operating frequency of the antenna. Usually, the maximum size of the radiating element is about a quarter wavelength corresponding to the minimum operating frequency of the antenna. Optimizing the structure of the radiating element can reduce the size of the antenna and widen the impedance bandwidth. The radiation unit of the planar monopole antenna fed by the coplanar waveguide, the feeder and the floor are on the same plane, which can make the overall structure of the antenna more compact and easy to integrate with other circuits. A wide impedance bandwidth can be obtained by using a rectangular slot, and the impedance matching can be optimized by adjusting the structure and size of the feed terminal. For example, non-patent document 1 discloses ultra-wideband antennas with rectangular slot circular feed, trapezoidal feed, and polygonal slot square feed. , the slot structure adopts a rectangular or polygonal slot structure, the feed unit adopts a circular or trapezoidal shape, and is fed through a coplanar waveguide. The impedance bandwidth of the three antennas covers the ultra-wideband frequency range, but the design size is 40mm×30mm, which is relatively large . Reasonable design of the structure of the monopole can obtain a wide impedance bandwidth. For example, non-patent document 2 discloses a sector-shaped printed ultra-wideband antenna, which is composed of a sector-shaped radiating unit, a rectangular floor and a coplanar waveguide feeder. Adjust the size of the sector Radiation bands of different frequencies are formed from the top edge to the bottom edge of the fan-shaped structure, thereby obtaining ultra-broadband characteristics. The design size of the antenna is 35mm×30mm. Based on the current cutting principle, cutting off the weaker part of the radiating element current can make the antenna surface current concentrate on the lower edge of the radiating element and near the antenna feeder, thereby widening the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. For example, non-patent literature 3 discloses three new types of ultra-wideband planar single The pole antenna adopts rectangular, hexagonal and pentagonal radiating elements, feeds through rectangular coplanar waveguide, cuts off the weak current part of the radiating element and the floor, and further improves the bandwidth and size of the antenna. The design size of the antenna is 25mm×28mm, and the overall size is still relatively large. Therefore, there is an inherent contradiction between the bandwidth of the antenna and the design size, and it is necessary to further optimize the structure of the radiation unit and the floor, so that the antenna can meet the ultra-wideband characteristics and further reduce the design size.
