Reconfigurable reflection-type super-surface unit
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of microwave millimeter wave antenna, concretely relates to super surface unit of restructural reflection-type.
Background
Due to the rapid development of radar, communication and other systems in recent decades, these fields have higher requirements on the self-adaptability and reconfigurable characteristics of the antenna. For the traditional parabolic antenna, the bulky reflecting surface of the traditional parabolic antenna causes the antenna to have large volume, the antenna cannot be randomly installed and tested in application, the beam scanning characteristic can be realized only by mechanical rotation, and the traditional parabolic antenna is bulky and inconvenient to use in practice. Compared with a parabolic antenna, the phased array antenna can achieve the purpose of beam scanning by adjusting the feed phase of each unit, and the operation mode is more flexible and convenient, but the complex feed circuit and control structure generated by the phased array antenna cause the defects of high manufacturing cost, large transmission loss, low efficiency and the like, and limit the application of the phased array antenna in various fields.
The reconfigurable reflection super-surface antenna can realize the adjustment of reflection phases by adjusting and controlling the reconfigurable reflection super-surface units forming the reflection super-surface, thereby realizing the characteristics of beam scanning, beam forming, multi-frequency work, multi-polarization work and the like. Compared with the traditional parabolic antenna and the phased array antenna, the reconfigurable reflection super-surface antenna does not need mechanical rotation and a complex feed circuit, and is simple in design, low in cost, easy to unfold and conformal. Therefore, the reconfigurable reflection super-surface antenna has wide application prospect in the future. The design of a reconfigurable reflection type super-surface unit to form the reconfigurable reflection super-surface antenna has great significance.
In order to Design a phase-reconfigurable reflection-type super-surface unit, Mathieu Riel et al disclose a slot-coupled reconfigurable reflection unit (m.riel and j. -j.laurin, "Design of an electronic beam scanning reflecting using-coupled elements," IEEE trans.antennas Propag, May 2007, vol.55, No.5, pp.1260-1266.), two varactors are loaded on the unit, the reflection phase of the unit can be adjusted by adjusting the bias voltage of the varactors, but the unit has a complex structure and too large reflection loss, and the relative bandwidth of normal operation is only 2.2%.
In order to further improve the working bandwidth of the reflection unit and reduce reflection loss, fang-Yi and the like disclose a 1-bit reconfigurable broadband multi-polarization reflection array unit (inventor: fang-Yi, Sunpong, Cao Jun and Populus tremula, the invention and creation name of the inventor is that the 1-bit reconfigurable broadband multi-polarization reflection array unit is a Chinese patent application No. 201811617374.2, and 12 and 28 of 2018), the polarization rotation and reflection phase adjustment performance is realized through four loaded switching diodes, but the structure of the unit is too complex, and the complex bias circuit design of the four switching diodes is not considered.
