As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a rectangular shaped array antenna 100. Furthermore, the utility model also provides an indoor basic station. By means of the rectangular shaped array antenna 100, the indoor base station can receive and transmit signals in a large indoor space with dense people flow.
Referring to fig. 2, the rectangular shaped array antenna 100 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a radiation unit 110 and a guiding sheet 120.
The radiation elements 110 are used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals, and the radiation elements 110 in this embodiment are dual-polarized radiation elements with an operating frequency of about 2510MHz to 2680MHz, wherein the plurality of radiation elements 110 are arranged at equal intervals to form an array, the array includes 3 × 3 matrixes, specifically, the array of the plurality of radiation elements 110 may include one or more 3 × 3 matrixes, and for example, assuming that the array is a 4 × 4 array, the array may include 4 3 × 3 matrixes.
In the embodiment, the number of the radiation elements 110 is 9, and 13 × 3 arrays are formed, therefore, the array formed by the radiation elements 110 only includes one 3 × 3 matrix, and at this time, the rectangular shaped array antenna 100 requires the least number of the radiation elements 110, which is beneficial to reducing the volume and the mass.
It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of the radiation elements 110 may be more than 9, as long as it is ensured that the array formed by the radiation elements comprises at least one 3 × 3 matrix.
In this embodiment, the rectangular shaped array antenna 100 further includes a metal reflection plate 130, and the plurality of radiation units 110 are mounted on a surface of the metal reflection plate 130.
The radiation unit 110 can be fixed to the metal reflection plate 130 by welding, clamping with a plastic part, or the like. The metal reflection plate 130 may support the radiation unit 110 and simultaneously play a role in reflecting electromagnetic wave signals, thereby facilitating to improve the transceiving efficiency of the radiation unit 110.
It is noted that in other embodiments, the metal reflective plate 130 may be omitted. For example, in the case that the feeding network of the rectangular shaped array antenna 100 is a PCB, the radiating element 110 may be directly mounted on the substrate of the feeding network.
Further, in the same 3 × 3 matrix, the phases of two adjacent radiation elements 110 in the same row are the same and 180 degrees different from the phase of another radiation element 110, and the phases of two adjacent radiation elements 110 in the same column are the same and 180 degrees different from the phase of another radiation element 110.
As shown in fig. 3, the first two radiation elements 110 of the first and second rows have a phase of 0 degree, and the last radiation element 110 has a phase of 180 degrees; the first two radiation elements 110 of the third row have a phase of 180 degrees and the last radiation element 110 has a phase of 0 degree. Thus, the phases of the first two radiation elements 110 of the first and second columns are 0 degrees, and the phase of the last radiation element 110 is 180 degrees; the first two radiation elements 110 of the third column have a phase of 180 degrees and the last radiation element 110 has a phase of 0 degrees.
Obviously, the phase distribution of the plurality of radiation elements 110 is not limited to the above-described one. For example, in other embodiments, the phase distribution of the plurality of radiation elements 110 may be a mirror image of the phase distribution shown in fig. 3.
Next, the radiation index of the rectangular shaped array antenna 10 is briefly analyzed with the extending direction of each row in the 3 × 3 matrix as the X direction and the extending direction of each column as the Y direction.
In the X direction, there are two equal amplitude anti-phase radiating elements 110 (i.e., two radiating elements 110 from the beginning to the end of each row, which are identical in power and 180 degrees out of phase). At this time, the two radiation elements 110 are superimposed, resulting in a directional pattern in the X direction as shown in fig. 5. The distance between the two spaced radiation units 110 is about 1.5 λ, where λ is the operating wavelength of the rectangular shaped array antenna 100.
Next, there is one radiation element 110 in the center position of the two radiation elements 110, and the phase of the radiation element 110 is the same as that of any one of the two radiation elements 110, so that the depression in the center position of the pattern can be filled, and the pattern shown in fig. 6 can be obtained. It can be seen that the square has been provided with more regular boundaries.
In the present embodiment, the distance d between the center points of two adjacent radiation units 110 is 0.6 λ to 0.8 λ. At this distance, the three radiation units 110 in the same row can obtain better superposition effect.
Then, the power ratio of the three radiation elements 110 is adjusted, and the boundaries of the histogram can be further modified. For example, the power ratio of the three radiation units 110 is adjusted to 20: 10: 1, the pattern as shown in fig. 7 can be obtained. It can be seen that the above-mentioned directional diagram has achieved the effect of a substantially square beam, but the two indexes of "beam width from 3dB to 20dB power drop angle" and "side lobe suppression" are not ideal.
Further, a guide sheet 120 is introduced for each radiation unit 110. The lead sheet 120 is electrically conductive and thus can also be used for transmission and reception of electromagnetic wave signals. Specifically, the guiding sheet 120 may be a metal sheet, or may be a PCB structure. The plurality of guide sheets 120 correspond to the plurality of radiation units 110 one to one. That is, one guide sheet 120 is disposed on each radiation unit 110. The guide sheet 120 may be mounted to the radiation unit 110 by a plastic member so as to be insulated from the corresponding radiation unit 110 and the metal reflection plate 130.
Each of the guide tabs 120 is suspended from the radiation surface of the corresponding radiation unit 110. According to the yagi antenna principle, the conductive guiding sheet 120 is added above the radiating element 110, which can narrow the main beam and increase the directivity.
As shown in fig. 8, by providing the guide piece 120, it is possible to effectively improve the beam falling effect in the X direction and reduce the side lobe suppression. It can be seen that not only is the X-direction upper beam coverage achieved, but also the two indicators of "beam width from 3dB to 20dB power drop angle" and "sidelobe suppression" are significantly improved. Further, the radiation patterns shown in fig. 9 can be obtained by superimposing the patterns of the three rows of radiation elements 110.
Similarly, the effect of a square beam can be achieved in the Y direction by overlapping each row of radiating elements 110 and corresponding beam convergence of the director sheet 120. As shown in fig. 10, not only the Y-direction upper beam coverage is achieved, but also the two indicators of "beam width from 3dB to 20dB power drop angle" and "side lobe suppression" are significantly improved.
Further, by superimposing the radiation patterns in the X direction and the Y direction, a three-dimensional radiation pattern as shown in fig. 11 can be obtained. As can be seen, the rectangular shaped array antenna 10 finally achieves the purpose that the main beam waveform is three-dimensional square in the main coverage direction, and the lobe can quickly fall off at the half-power angle.
The dimensions of the director sheet 120 are typically slightly smaller than the dimensions of the radiating elements 110 for optimal narrowing. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the orthographic projection of each guide sheet 120 on the radiation surface of the corresponding radiation unit 110 is located in the radiation surface of the corresponding radiation unit 110.
That is, the lateral dimension of the guiding sheet 120 does not exceed the range of the radiation surface of the corresponding radiation unit 110, so the beam narrowing effect of the radiation unit 110 is better.
Further, in this embodiment, the radiation unit 110 is a dual-polarized half-wave oscillator, the maximum lateral dimension of the guiding sheet 120 is 0.3 λ to 0.4 λ, and λ is the operating wavelength of the rectangular shaped array antenna 10.
A dual-polarized half-wave oscillator is a common and reliable radiating element with dimensions of 0.5 λ. Therefore, the maximum lateral dimension of the guiding sheet 120 is 0.3 λ to 0.4 λ, and it is ensured that the guiding sheet 120 does not exceed the range of the radiation surface of the corresponding radiation unit 110.
The shape of the guide piece 120 may be various shapes such as a square, a rectangle, a circle, or a cross. In the present embodiment, the guiding sheets 120 are in a central symmetrical pattern, and each guiding sheet 120 is disposed coaxially with the corresponding radiation unit 110. More specifically, the guide pieces 120 shown in fig. 1 and 2 have a rectangular shape.
With this arrangement, the effect of the guiding sheet 120 on different directions when narrowing the beam can be substantially the same, thereby further improving the symmetry of the directional pattern of the rectangular shaped array antenna 10.
In the present embodiment, the distance between the guide sheet 120 and the radiation surface of the corresponding radiation unit 110 is 0.45 λ to 0.55 λ. According to the analysis, when the guide piece 120 is located at this position, the directivity of the beam of the radiation unit 110 can be improved more, and the index of the side lobe suppression can be further improved.
In the present embodiment, in the same 3 × 3 matrix, the power ratio of three radiation elements 110 in each row is the same as the power ratio of three radiation elements 110 in the other two rows, and the power ratio of three radiation elements 110 in each column is the same as the power ratio of three radiation elements 110 in the other two columns.
As shown in fig. 4, the power ratio of the three radiation elements 110 in each row is 20: 10: 1, the power ratio of the three radiation elements 110 in each column is also 20: 10: 1. at this time, the waveform of the rectangular shaped array antenna 10 is optimal. Wherein, the power distribution can be realized by controlling the feeding process.
It should be noted that the power ratio of the radiation unit 110 is not limited to 20: 10: 1. also, the power of some of the radiation elements 110 is also fine-tuned to change the power ratio. Although this will reduce the overall effect slightly, it will also substantially achieve the shaped target.
In the rectangular shaped array antenna 10, in a 3 × 3 matrix, the directional patterns of the head and the tail two opposite-phase radiation units 110 in the same row are superposed, and the concave part is filled by the radiation unit 110 in the middle, so that a substantially square directional pattern can be obtained, in the same way, 3 radiation units 110 in the same column can also form a similar directional pattern, so that three-dimensional square beam coverage is realized, further, the guide sheet 120 can narrow a main beam and increase the directionality of the radiation unit 110, so that the beam dropping effect and the side lobe suppression can be effectively improved, and finally, the main beam waveform is square in the main coverage cross section direction, and the lobe can be quickly dropped at a half-power angle.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above-mentioned embodiments only represent some embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is specific and detailed, but not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, several variations and modifications can be made, which are within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
