Definitions

  • the present application generally relates to a broadband low-profile dual-linearly polarized antenna and, more specifically, to a broadband low-profile dual-linearly polarized antenna for a OneLTE two-in-one platform.
  • OneLTE technology is rapidly emerging.
  • OneLTE refers to simultaneously comprising both TD-LTE and LTE FDD wireless network access modes and a shared core network in an LTE network.
  • the two wireless network access modes complement each other and cooperate with each other to achieve site-level convergence, network interoperability, and performance level integration on a network side, thereby maximizing overall network capacity and coverage.
  • Operators can, thus, use all of their own spectrum, including TDD and FDD, to provide a unified 4G network experience.
  • existing dual-linearly polarized antennas for OneLTE typically include two radiating portions (i.e., 1.8 GHz for FDD and 2.6 GHz for TDD) because neither has sufficient bandwidth.
  • the dual-linearly polarized antenna disclosed by the U.S. Patent No. 3,740,754 the first of its kind to describe a dual-linearly polarized antenna, just cannot meet the needs of a wide frequency band. Therefore, such antennas for OneLTE are bulky and do not meet requirements for miniaturization.
  • there is a fairly obvious mutual coupling between the high and low frequency radiating portions causing distortion of the radiation pattern of the radiating portions of the different frequency bands.
  • WO2016/133244A1 discloses a multi-band radiating element comprising: a first high frequency radiating element formed on the upper surface of a substrate; one or more first low frequency parasitic elements formed on the upper surface of the substrate and formed at a predetermined distance from the first high frequency radiating element in the direction of the outer edge of the substrate; one or more second low frequency parasitic elements formed on the upper surface of the substrate and formed at a predetermined distance from the first high frequency radiating element in the direction of the outer edge of the substrate; a second high frequency radiating element formed on the bottom surface of the substrate; and a reflector formed at a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the substrate.
  • a broadband low-profile dual-linearly polarized antenna according to claim 1 is provided.
  • a broadband low-profile dual-linearly polarized antenna array device can include (1) a plurality of the above-described dual-linearly polarized antennas, (2) a feed network that can include a power divider for feeding the plurality of dual-linearly polarized antennas in equal amplitude and in same phase, wherein the feed network can include two feed ports for respectively exciting a ⁇ 45° polarization mode to feed each of the plurality of dual-linearly polarized antennas through the power divider, and (3) a bottom metal reflector.
  • a broadband low-profile dual-linearly polarized antenna as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 includes a radiating portion 1 and a feed balun 2.
  • the radiating portion 1 can have a rectangular plate shape, and the feed balun 2 can be located at a center below the radiating portion 1.
  • the feed balun 2 can be placed on a feed circuit board 3.
  • the feed balun 2 can include a first balun 8 and a second balun 9 that are orthogonal to each other and can be connected to a lower surface of the radiating portion 1 to feed the radiating portion 1.
  • Two plates of the feed balun 2 can be snapped together through a middle slot, wherein an upper end of a middle part of one of the two plates can have a short slot, and a lower end of a middle part of another of the two plates can have a long slot, thereby implementing the feed balun 2 through a mating connection of the long slot and the short slot.
  • the radiation portion 1 includes a dielectric substrate, printed folded dipoles 7 spaced apart on an upper surface of the dielectric substrate, first coupled parasitic elements 4 on a lower surface of the dielectric substrate, and second coupled parasitic elements 5 on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate.
  • the radiating portion 1 can be implemented on a printed circuit board by a printing process.
  • the printed folded dipoles 7 may be placed at equal or unequal intervals on the dielectric substrate. As shown in FIG. 3 , a number of the printed folded dipoles 7 is four, and the printed folded dipoles 7 can be placed at equal intervals of 90 degrees. As further shown in FIG. 3 , each of the printed folded dipoles 7 can have a respective T-shaped match and have a respective T-shaped slit inside to form a respective current path. In some embodiments, shapes of such T-shaped slits inside of the printed folded dipoles 7 need not be totally identical.
  • a top of the T-shaped slits inside of upper and lower ones of the printed folded dipoles 7 can be narrower than a top of the T-shaped slits inside of left and right ones of the printed folded dipoles 7.
  • Each of the printed folded dipoles 7 includes a corresponding one of the first coupled parasitic elements 4 and a corresponding one of the second coupled parasitic elements 5 on either side, wherein the first coupled parasitic elements 4 are on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate, and the second coupled parasitic elements 5 are on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate.
  • the first and second coupled parasitic elements 4, 5 can be used to expand bandwidth and reduce a profile of the broadband low-profile dual-linearly polarized antenna.
  • Each of the printed folded dipoles 7 can be non-electrically connected to the corresponding one of the first and second coupled parasitic elements 4, 5, but inductively induce current on the corresponding one of the first and second coupled parasitic elements 4, 5.
  • Positions of the first and second coupled parasitic elements 4, 5 can be reasonably arranged according to requirements of inductive coupling. Accordingly, the specific shapes of the first and second coupled parasitic elements 4, 5 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 act only as an example, but not a limitation.
  • the first coupled parasitic elements 4 can be generally shaped as “ ⁇ ”, “ ⁇ ”, “ ⁇ ”, and “ ⁇ ”, and each of the first coupled parasitic elements 4 is located between respective ones of the adjacent ones of the printed folded dipoles 7 with a respective notch facing inward.
  • each of the first coupled parasitic elements 4 can be located inside of respective outer contours of the respective ones of the adjacent ones of the printed folded dipoles 7, and in some embodiments, each of the first coupled parasitic elements 4 can be located right below respective inner sides of the respective small opening between the respective ones of the adjacent ones of the printed folded dipoles 7.
  • each of the second coupled parasitic elements 5 can include two respective rectangular strips that need not be electrically connected in substantially the shape of the Chinese character " " and is placed adjacent to respective neighboring portions of respective outer edges of the respective ones of the adjacent ones of the printed folded dipoles 7.
  • such rectangular strips can be different sizes, and a long side can be parallel to the respective outer edges of one of the printed folded dipoles 7.
  • Each of the printed folded dipoles 7 can have a corresponding feed point 6 located therein, and the feed balun 2 can feed each of the printed folded dipoles 7 through the corresponding feed point 6 in a manner of coupled feed.
  • FIG. 5(a) is a side view of portions of the first and second baluns 8, 9 of the feed balun 2 (other portions of the baluns 8, 9 are obscured).
  • a middle of the second balun 9 can include a recess to bypass the first balun 8 to avoid electrical connection (or, alternatively, to form a protrusion).
  • FIG. 5(b) and FIG. 5(c) show the portions of the first and second baluns 8, 9 that are obscured in FIG. 5(a) .
  • shapes of the first and second baluns 8, 9 need not be the same, but both can be substantially " " " in shape and feed the radiating portion 1 at the top through a coupling manner.
  • the bottom of the feed balun 2 can be connected to a feed circuit.
  • the feed circuit can be implemented using a microstrip circuit.
  • FIG. 6 is a view of a broadband low-profile dual-linearly polarized antenna array device in accordance with disclosed embodiments.

  • a feed network can feed the antenna array device.
  • the feed network can include a one-to-two power divider so as to feed each of the dual-linearly polarized antennas with equal amplitude and same phase.
