Definitions

  • aspects relate, in general, to an antenna element, an interconnect, a method and an antenna array.
  • Antennas for mobile cellular communications are typically based on resonant radiating elements that resonate at a fundamental frequency and integer multiples thereof (harmonics).
  • a radiating element consisting of a single resonant radiator radiates at harmonic frequencies with very different radiation properties compared to those at the fundamental frequency.
  • the fact that the radiation patterns are different means that in most practical applications an antenna composed of single-radiator radiating elements cannot be utilized for a simultaneous operation at two frequency bands whose center-frequency ratio is approximately 2:1, such as the 1,800 and 900 MHz mobile cellular communication bands, or 3:1, such as the 2,400 and 800 MHz bands for example.
  • both radiators operate at their respective fundamental frequencies, meaning the ratio of the resonant lengths of the two radiators is approximately 2:1.
  • such dual-radiator radiating elements employ either parasitic radiators or branch structures.
  • the radiating element is composed of two radiators, whereby one radiator (typically the long one, radiating at f 1 ) is fed, i.e., directly excited with radio-frequency (RF) power, and the other (parasitic) radiator (typically the short one, radiating at f 2 ) is excited by proximity-coupling of electromagnetic energy from the fed radiator.
  • RF radio-frequency
  • the long and the short radiators are connected by an electrically-conductive branch that feeds RF power to both radiators.
  • an antenna element comprising a first conductive radiating surface mounted at a predefined distance from a surface plane of a ground plate, a second conductive radiating surface mounted at substantially the same predefined distance from the surface plane of the ground plate as the first conductive element, the second conductive radiating surface separated from the first conductive radiating surface by a gap of a predefined width, and at least one conductive interconnect coupling the two conductive radiating surfaces and configured to introduce substantially no additional phase shift at the fundamental resonant frequency of the overall antenna element comprising the conductive radiating surfaces and the gap in a signal traveling from one conductive radiating surface to the other conductive radiating surface via the conductive interconnect, and a phase shift of substantially 180° at the first harmonic frequency of the overall antenna element comprising the conductive radiating surfaces and the gap for a signal traveling from one conductive radiating surface to the other conductive radiating surface.
  • the conductive interconnect can comprise a first arm connected to the first conductive radiating surface, and a second arm connected to the second conductive radiating surface, the first and second arms configured in a predefined geometrical arrangement to form the interconnect so as to electromagnetically couple the first and second elements.
  • the first and second arms can be arranged in spaced geometrical arrangement from one another such that the arms are not in contact with one another.
  • the interconnect coupling can be mounted between the radiating surfaces and the surface plane of a ground plate.
  • the first and second conductive radiating elements can be substantially identical in shape and size.
  • a third conductive radiating surface separated from the first and second conductive radiating surfaces and including at least one conductive interconnect to couple the third conductive radiating surface to the first or second conductive radiating surfaces can be provided.
  • An interconnect to couple conductive radiating surfaces can be located in substantially the same plane as the conductive radiating surfaces.
  • Respective conductive radiating surfaces can include multiple interconnects to couple the conductive radiating surfaces at more than one point.
  • an interconnect for coupling a pair of conductive radiating surfaces, the interconnect configured in a predefined geometrical arrangement so that the interconnect introduces substantially no additional phase shift in signals traveling through the interconnect in a frequency band centred about a predetermined frequency, and an additional phase shift of around 180° in signals traveling through the interconnect in a frequency band centred about the first or the second harmonic of the predetermined frequency.
  • a conductive radiating surface can extend across a portion of the interconnect.
  • the interconnect can comprise at least a first arm for a first conductive radiating surface of the pair, and a second arm for a second conductive radiating surface of the pair, the first and second arms configured in a predefined geometrical arrangement to form the interconnect so as to electromagnetically couple the first and second elements.
  • a method in an antenna arrangement including N conductive radiating surfaces coupled using at least N-1 interconnects, for transmitting and receiving signals in selected two of N frequency bands separated by a fundamental frequency, the method comprising configuring an interconnect between respective ones of two radiating surfaces so that each radiating surface resonates at the predetermined fundamental frequency and the N th multiple of the predetermined fundamental frequency by arranging multiple arms of the interconnect, respective ones of which are conductively connected to respective ones of the two radiating surfaces, in a predefined geometrical arrangement, whereby to electromagnetically couple the two radiating elements.
  • the frequency bands of operation are extended by configuring the at least N-1 interconnects to provide the required phase shifts to the applied RF signal at the interconnects.
  • an antenna array comprising multiple antenna elements as described herein, respective ones of the antenna arrangements configured in a planar array. Respective ones of the antenna elements can be individually addressable to beamform an output signal of the array.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a conventional patch antenna.
  • a patch 1 is positioned above a ground plane 2.
  • the antenna of figure 1 displays a first resonance at the frequency of 1 GHz and the first harmonic at 1.97 GHz.
  • Figure 2 is a frequency-dependence plot of the magnitude of the input reflection coefficient (
  • the electrical length travelled by the electric current distribution, J , on the surface of the radiating element is about one half of the guided wavelength along the current's resonant path.
  • the electrical length travelled by the electric current is a full guided wavelength long. Since the phase of the surface current in the second half of the guided wavelength is of the opposite sign to the phase of the surface current in the first half of the guided wavelength, the far-field radiation pattern of the antenna of figure 1 displays a sharp minimum, theoretically a null, broadside.
  • figure 3 is a plot of co-polarized far-field gain radiation pattern of the antenna in figure 1 , in which the solid line represents the E-plane cut at 1 GHz and the dashed line is the E-plane cut at 1.97 GHz. That is, the co-polarized E-plane far-field gain radiation pattern of the antenna in figure 1 at 1.97 GHz (dashed line) is shown in comparison with that at 1 GHz (solid line).
  • the fact that the radiation patterns are different means that in most practical applications an antenna composed of single-radiator radiating elements cannot be utilized for a simultaneous operation at two frequency bands whose center-frequency ratio is approximately 2:1, such as the 1,800 and 900 MHz mobile cellular communication bands, or 3:1, such as the 2,400 and 800 MHz bands.
  • an antenna element comprises first and second conductive radiating surfaces mounted at a predefined distance from a surface plane of a ground plate.
  • the surfaces can be patch type antennas (or surfaces composed from one patch antenna), such as that described with reference to figure 1 for example.
  • other antenna types e.g., wire antennas - may be used. That is, a patch antenna is used merely as a specific example. In principle, the concept can be extended to a number of other resonant antenna technologies.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic isometric representation of an antenna element according to an example.
  • a patch antenna has a length, l , and is formed from two sections 1a, 1b forming respective conductive radiating surfaces that are separated by a gap 3 of width u which is void of metallization.
  • the sections are positioned above a ground plane 2, and a feed 40 for receiving an input signal for the element is provided on one of the sections 1a (although may equally be provided on section 1b for example).
  • the sections 1a and 1b are substantially equal in size.
  • the portions are connected or otherwise coupled together using at least one suitable filter or interconnect. More specifically, in the example of figure 4 , two interconnects 4a and 4b, are depicted and outlined by dotted lines, although only one such interconnect forming a filter for the element may be used.
  • the antenna element of figure 4 has the same overall length l and width w as the conventional patch of figure 1 ; consequently the overall patch antenna of figure 4 resonates at the same fundamental frequency (1 GHz) as the antenna shown in figure 1 .
  • subdividing the patch into two equal-size parts, 1a and 1b, along the resonant path of the electric current on the patch surface makes it possible to view the patch as a linear array of two series-fed patches, whereby the fundamental frequency of the array is that of the patch segments 1a, 1b.
  • the gap width, u is kept small relative to the overall patch length, l , the fundamental frequency of the patch segments will be about twice the fundamental frequency of the overall patch, i.e., about 2 GHz.
  • Interconnects, 4a, 4b are composed of conductive elements operable to couple the two conductive radiating surfaces 1a, 1b and are configured to introduce substantially no additional phase shift at the fundamental resonant frequency of the overall patch of length l is a signal traveling from one conductive radiating surface 1a to the other conductive radiating surface 1b via the conductive interconnect 4a, 4b.
  • a phase shift of substantially 180° is introduced at the first harmonic frequency of the overall patch of length l for a signal traveling from one conductive radiating surface to the other conductive radiating surface via the conductive interconnect 4a, 4b.
  • an interconnect 4a, 4b is composed of a pair of arms, respective ones of which are connected to respective surfaces 1a, 1b.
  • the geometry of an interconnect that is, the geometrical configuration of the arms of an interconnect, is selected to couple the surfaces 1a, 1b whereby to enable operation of the conductive radiating surfaces in resonance simultaneously at two frequencies.
  • each of the interconnects, 4a and 4b is the series combination of an inductance and a capacitance.
  • An interconnect 4a, 4b can therefore be referred to as an LC (inductor-capacitor) cells.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the equivalent circuit of an LC cell above the ground plane, 2, of an antenna element according to an example.
  • the circuit consists of a series reactance, composed of L C and C C , and a shunt reactance, C X .
  • the series combination of L C and C C represents the LC cell itself, while C X stands for the parasitic capacitance between the LC cell and the ground plane of the antenna element.
  • the LC cell is designed to resonate at the fundamental frequency, f 1 , of the overall patch, i.e., the patch of length l .
  • f 1 the fundamental frequency
  • Figure 6 is a graph of the variation of (5) as a function of C X / C C .
  • the patch antenna of figure 4 behaves like the patch antenna of figure 1 (due to (3))
  • the electrical length of the current on the surface of the patch is a full guided wavelength long, just like in the case of the conventional patch of figure 1 .
  • the far-field radiation pattern of the antenna of figure 4 no longer has a sharp minimum at broadside.
  • the patch antenna of figure 4 can be viewed as a linear array of two series-fed patches whereby each element of the array - patch segments 1a and 1b - is fed with the same voltage phase for broadside radiation. This behavior is achieved without the conventional half-wavelength-long section of transmission line between the patch segments 1a, 1b.
  • the interconnects between patch segments 1a and 1b of figure 4 are one example of interconnects in which a 180° phase shift is introduced by the LC cell at the first harmonic.
  • Figure 7 is a plot of the frequency dependence of the magnitude of the input reflection coefficient (
  • the resonance at 1.11 GHz is that at the fundamental frequency (compared with 1 GHz of the conventional patch antenna having the same overall dimensions as shown in figure 2 ), and the resonance at 2.12 GHz is that at the first harmonic (compared with 1.97 GHz of the conventional antenna having the same overall dimensions as shown in figure 2 ).
  • Figure 8 is a plot of the corresponding co-polarized E-plane far-field gain radiation patterns of the antenna in figure 4 .
  • the pattern at 2.12 GHz (dashed line) is very similar in shape to the pattern at 1.11 GHz (solid line); likewise the peak-gain values at the two frequencies are quite similar, namely 8.73 dBi at 1.11 GHz and 9.75 dBi at 2.12 GHz.
  • the similarities of radiation-pattern shapes and peak-gain values make the antenna useful for engineering applications in dual-band wireless communication systems.
  • frequency-selective interconnects can be introduced into conventional resonant radiating elements in order to obtain a radiation pattern at the first, or higher, harmonic frequency that is fully comparable to the radiation pattern at the fundamental frequency, thereby yielding a dual-band antenna with useful radiation properties at two frequency bands whose center-frequency ratio is approximately 2:1, 3:1, and so on.
  • practical designs can be obtained within a range of frequency ratios, e.g., anywhere between 1.8:1 and 2.2:1 for example.
  • the above can be viewed as maintaining the functionality of a radiating element at the fundamental frequency and, at the first (or higher) harmonic frequency, introducing the functionality of a series-fed linear array without the typical half-wavelength-long sections of transmission line employed in such series-fed arrays.
  • the configuration of figure 4 can be viewed as an antenna element with integral frequency-selective components for enhanced radiation properties.
  • the RF performance of an antenna element according to an example and as depicted in figure 4 is depicted in figures 7 and 8 . More particularly, the overall length, l , of the element in figure 4 , resulting in the RF performance as shown in figures 7 and 8 , is 135 mm, and the width, w , is 93.8 mm.
  • the gap width, u, is 10 mm, and the LC cell measures 18.6 mm along the patch length and 20 mm along the patch width.
  • a dielectric is provided between the patch and the ground plane, 2, which in the case of figure 4 is air; the thickness of the dielectric is 10 mm.
  • An RF signal can be fed to the antenna by conventional means of feeding patch antennas, such as the depicted microstrip line 40 or a coaxial probe (not shown) from the ground plane 2.
  • FIG. 9-11 Another exemplary radiating element according to the principles of the present invention is shown in figures 9-11 .
  • stubs 9a, 9a' and 9b, 9b' are added to the respective LC cells 4a, 4b (figure II).
  • the stubs increase the input-impedance bandwidth of the radiating element in the frequency band around the fundamental resonance, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the LC cells 4a, 4b can be relocated from the plane of the patch segments 1a, 1b onto a plane between the patch segments 1a, 1b, and above the ground plane 2.
  • the electrical connections of the LC cells 4a, 4b to the patch segments 1a, 1b are provided by means of the respective pairs of pins, 8a, 8a' and 8b, 8b'.
  • the radiating element can be built as a stack-up of two microwave substrates 6, 7 ( figure 10 ), whereby the patch segments 1a, 1b and the feeding microstrip line 5 are etched on the top surface of the upper substrate 7, the ground plane 2 is patterned on the bottom surface of the lower substrate 6, while the LC cells 4a, 4b with their stubs 9a, 9a', 9b, 9b' are etched on the bottom surface of the upper substrate 7.
  • the pins 8a, 8a', 8b, 8b' can be manufactured as metal-plated via holes in the upper substrate 7 ( figure 10 ).
  • Figure 12 is the frequency-dependence plot of the magnitude of the input reflection coefficient (
  • the fundamental frequency of the antenna is around 1.08 GHz and two resonances can be observed there: one at 1.06 GHz, which is due to the LC cells themselves, while the resonance at 1.11 GHz results from the electromagnetic coupling of the stubs 9a, 9a' and 9b, 9b' to the respective LC cells 4a and 4b.
  • the shapes and the lengths of the stubs 9a, 9a' and 9b, 9b' are utilized to tune the stub-induced resonance in frequency and maintain the co-polarized beam integrity at the frequency of the stub-induced resonance.
  • the first harmonic frequency of the antenna is around 2.09 GHz; one resonance can be seen there.
  • Figure 13 depicts the co-polarized E-plane far-field gain radiation patterns of the antenna of figures 9-11 according to an example.
  • the typical pattern in the frequency band around the fundamental frequency is plotted with a solid line, and the typical pattern in the frequency band of the first harmonic is plotted with a dashed line.
  • Figure 14 depicts the corresponding co-polarized H-plane far-field gain radiation patterns of the antenna of figures 9-11 according to an example.
  • the E- and H-plane radiation patterns around the fundamental frequency are similar in shape to the corresponding patterns around the first harmonic (dashed lines in figures 13 and 14 ).
  • the peak-gain values in the two frequencies bands are quite similar, namely 8.51 dBi around the fundamental frequency and 8.70 dBi around the first harmonic.
  • good co-polarized beam integrity and good polarization purity are observed throughout the two frequency bands.
  • the abovementioned radiation properties make the antenna suitable for dual-band wireless communication systems with center-frequency ratio of approximately 2:1.
  • Figure 15 is a schematic representation of a radiating antenna element according to an example.
  • the element of figure 15 includes three conductive radiating surfaces to provide a frequency ratio of approximately 3:1.
  • the element of figure 15 is in the form of a patch antenna of length, l . It is formed from three sections 15a, 15b and 15c forming respective conductive radiating surfaces that are separated by gaps 17 of width v which are void of metallization.
  • the sections are positioned above a ground plane 2, and a feed 40 for receiving an input signal for the element is provided on one of the sections 15a (although may equally be provided on section 15c for example).
  • the sections 15a-c are substantially equal in size.
  • the portions are connected or otherwise coupled together using at least one suitable filter or interconnect between respective ones of the sections. More specifically, in the example of figure 15 , two interconnects 19a, 19b are provided between sections 15a and 15b, and two interconnects 21a, 21b are provided between sections 15b and 15c.
  • One interconnect may be provided between respective ones of the sections rather than two as depicted. That is, generally, for N conductive radiating surfaces, at least N-1 interconnects can be provided to couple the surfaces.
  • the antenna element of figure 15 has the same overall length l and width w as the patch of figure 1 and as the element of figure 4 and figures 9-11 ; consequently the overall patch antenna of figure 15 has the same fundamental frequency (1 GHz) as the antenna shown in figure 1 .
  • subdividing the patch into three equal-size parts, 15a-c, along the resonant path of the electric current on the patch surface makes it possible to view the patch as a linear array of three series-fed patches, namely the patch segments 15a-c.
  • the fundamental resonant frequency of the patch segments will be close to the second harmonic of the overall patch, i.e., about three times the fundamental frequency of the overall patch, namely about 3 GHz.
  • Interconnects, 19a-b, 21a-b are composed of conductive elements operable to couple the conductive radiating surfaces of the element of figure 15 and are configured to introduce substantially no additional phase shift at the fundamental resonant frequency of the overall patch of length l in a signal traveling from one conductive radiating surface 15a to the other conductive radiating surface 15c through the second surface 15b via the conductive interconnects and a phase shift of substantially 180° at the second harmonic of that frequency, i.e., at the fundamental resonant frequency of the patch segments 15a-c.
