A radiating metal sheet and a metal ground plate are printed on a substrate, respectively. On both sides of the electric substrate, the radio wave signals fed into the two microstrip antennas formed by the radiating metal sheet can generate a phase difference of about 90 degrees, and the field patterns of the two microstrip antennas are orthogonal to each other. To produce a circularly polarized radiation effect. [Previous technology] According to the current widely used wireless electronic products, the antenna is an extremely important and indispensable component, and its main function is to radiate the microwave signals generated in these electronic products to the air. Or, the microwave signal in the air is received into the system of these electronic products. Therefore, whether the quality of the antenna used in these electronic products is good, or whether the antenna characteristics match, will be received by the ripper. Microwave signals are extremely large and will affect the design performance of RF and digital circuits in these electronic products. Therefore, the design and successor of these wireless electronic products, fiber meter antennas may be installed shoes. When it is on the product, we must pay close attention to the current radiation efficiency and the impact on the product system. Among conventional microstrip antennas that can generate circular polarization, they can be roughly divided into the following three types according to their structure and characteristics. (1) Microstrip antenna (patch antemm): Please refer to Figure 1, The most common design of this kind of microstrip antenna 10 is to use a ceramic material as its substrate 'using a mold and a molding machine to make a ceramic plate, and then sintering to obtain the substrate 11, The upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 11 can be printed with a square or rectangular radiating metal sheet (Patch) 12 and a ground plane 13 using screen printing and hung engraving, respectively. A feed pin 14 passes through the radiating metal patch 12 and the substrate 11 in sequence, and is connected to an electric wave signal feeding line 15 (such as a coaxial cable) so that the radiating metal sheet 12 A resonance cavity is formed with the ground metal surface 13 to generate a high-frequency electromagnetic field, and is radiated outward through a gap between the radiating metal sheet I2 and the ground metal surface 13. Traditionally, in order to make this kind of microstrip antenna 10 produce circularly polarized radiation, it is to cut off the triangle 121 of a specific size by using two diagonals of a square or rectangular radiating metal sheet (Patch) 12 to make It can produce two kinds of radiation with a phase difference of 90 degrees and perpendicular to each other. Generally speaking, although this type of microstrip antenna 10 has the advantages of small size, sturdy structure, high stability to temperature and low power loss, etc., this type of microstrip antenna 10 has a narrow bandwidth, not 200539757, When you want to cut off the two diagonal triangles 121, you must also be extra careful. Otherwise, not only can you not produce a true circular polarization effect, but the impedance matching and resonance frequency points of the design are not easy to achieve. (2) Microstrip antenna that feeds signals through the Power Divider: Please refer to Figure 2. This type of microstrip antenna 20 uses a general circuit board as its substrate 21, using screen printing and starvation. With the engraving technique, a square or rectangular radiation metal patch 22 and a ground plane 23 are printed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 21, respectively. At the center of the edge, a transmission line 241 and 242 are respectively extended, and the two transmission lines 241 and 242 are connected to an energy divider 25 or related elements. The energy divider 25 is a Batten line 26 and receives the feed. Radio signal line of the microstrip antenna 20. In this way, before the radio wave signal is fed into the radiating metal sheet 22, the energy divider 25 can be used to evenly divide the radio wave signal, and then one of the transmission lines 241 is extended by a quarter of a wavelength, so that A phase difference of ninety degrees is generated between the radio wave signals which are evenly divided to achieve the desired circular polarization effect. (3) Microstrip ball fed by a 90-degree coupler: please refer to Figure 3, the concept used by this type of microstrip antenna 30 is similar to the microstrip antenna 20 shown in Figure 2, both of which are Use two 90-degree feed insults to excite the two orthogonal radiations of the antenna. Please refer to FIG. 3 again, the microstrip antenna 30 also uses a general circuit board as its substrate 31. Using screen printing and hungry engraving technology, a square shape is printed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 31 respectively. Or a rectangular radiating metal sheet 32 and a ground metal surface 33. At the center of two adjacent sides of the radiating metal sheet 32, a transmission line 341 and 342 are respectively extended, and the two instrument lines 341 and 342 are connected to The ninety degree coupler 35 or related components, the ninety degree coupler 35 receives a radio signal line fed into the microstrip antenna 30 through a line 36. In this way, before the radio wave signal is fed into the radiating metal sheet 32, the ninety degree coupler 35 can be used to evenly divide the radio wave signal and generate a phase difference of ninety degrees, and then feed the radiating metal sheet 32 separately, To achieve the desired circular polarization effect. According to the above, in order to achieve the desired circular polarization effect of these conventional microstrip antennas, the design and manufacturing of microstrip antennas is to change the structure of the radiating metal sheet or add control elements to make The radio wave signal fed into it can produce a phase difference of 90 degrees, but these methods are not only very difficult in design, but also have complicated processes and high costs. Even if the design is completed, it may be designed due to dirty reality. The microstrip antenna with a larger size violates the design trend of thin, light and short. [Summary of the Invention] When the aforementioned ft system achieves the desired circular polarization effect, it will face many design difficulties 200539757 and obstacles. The inventor is based on many years of technical experience in antenna manufacturing and accumulated expertise, In view of the above problems, a circularly polarized printed circuit board antenna structure of the present invention is developed and designed. One object of the present invention is to use printed circuit manufacturing technology to print a radiating metal sheet and a metal ground plate on two ridges of a dielectric substrate, wherein the radiating metal sheet includes two microstrips. An antenna and a microstrip line, the microstrip line is located at the position of the dielectric substrate corresponding to the metal ground plate, and one end of the microstrip line is used as an electric wave signal feeding line for the microstrip antennas. The other end is along The two microstrip antennas are formed after extending a predetermined length corresponding to the metal ground plate *. The two microstrip antennas have the same size, but are arranged on the dielectric substrate. And the two p brothers are connected by a transmission line with a length of about a quarter of a wavelength, so the radio signal fed by the microstrip line to the two microstrip antennas will not only produce a phase difference of about ninety degrees, but also The field patterns of the two microstrip antennas must be orthogonal to each other to produce a circularly polarized radiation effect. Another object of the present invention is to use a simple high-frequency circuit design concept and a simple design method to produce a printed circuit board antenna with a simple structure and a circular polarization effect, so as to effectively improve the process of the circular polarization antenna. Reduce its design and production costs. In order that the review committee can further understand and understand the shape, structure, design principle and effect of the present invention, the following examples are listed together with the drawings to explain in detail as follows: [Embodiment] The present invention is a kind of The circularly polarized printed circuit board antenna structure uses printed circuit manufacturing technology. When manufacturing a microstrip antenna 40, refer to Figures 4 and δ and directly place a radiating metal sheet 41 and a metal ground plate 42. It is made on two sides of a dielectric substrate 43. The radiating metal sheet 41 includes a microstrip line 44 and two microstrip antennas 451 and 452. The microstrip line 44 is arranged on the dielectric substrate. The position of the base plate 43 corresponding to the metal ground plate 42 is such that one end is used as a feeding end of a radio wave signal, and the other end is extended on the dielectric substrate 43 along an edge corresponding to the metal ground plate 42. After the predetermined length, the two microstrip antennas 451 and 452 are formed, and the two microstrip antennas 451 and 452 are the same size, but the positions arranged on the dielectric substrate 43 are orthogonal to each other and are connected to each other. One quarter wavelength The (雠 / 4) 雠 line 453 is connected, so the microstrip line 44 feeds the radio wave signals of the two microstrip antennas 451, 452, which will not only produce a phase difference of about ninety degrees, but also the two microstrip antennas. The field patterns of 451 and 452 must be orthogonal to each other to produce a circularly polarized radiation effect. 200539757 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. The design concept used is based on the two microstrip antennas 451 and 452 of the same size but orthogonal to each other, according to vector coordinates. As a consequence, the normalized input impedance Zanh of one of the microstrip antennas 451 is designed as follows: y, 1. .V3 ^ 1 .V3 Znαη ^ -Λ-j— Μ --7 —, this At this time, if the microstrip line 44 is used as a signal feed line, the distance between the microstrip line 44 and the other microstrip antenna 452 is about a quarter more than the distance between the microstrip line 44 and the microstrip antenna 451. The length of the transmission line 453 of one wavelength (λ / 4), that is, the signal is fed away from the other microstrip antenna 452, which is about a quarter of a wavelength (λ longer) than the distance fed to the microstrip antenna 451. / 4) length, so the other microstrip antenna 452 reads the normalized input impedance Zaiit2 will be designed as follows: Z is called = factory y or 5 + y •, so in this better In the embodiment, when the microstrip line 44 connects the two microstrip antennas 451 and 452 in parallel, the normalized input of the circularly polarized printed Prasat antenna can be obtained. The impedance Z = (Zε _ // Zηι ^ 2) = 1, the impedance Z is matched with the impedance of the transmission line 453. In the preferred embodiment, please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5 again. The microstrip line 44 of the radiating metal sheet 41 is woven with a dielectric substrate 43 along an edge corresponding to the metal ground plate 42 and extends a predetermined length. After that, it will extend to both sides in a direction perpendicular to the microstrip line 44. One side will extend to a length corresponding to the outer side of the metal ground plate 42. After that, a length al will be extended and then parallel to the microstrip line 44. Direction, another length bl is extended to form the microstrip antenna 451; the other side is toward the inside corresponding to the metal ground plate 42, and the length is about a quarter of a wavelength (λ / 4) After the transmission line 453, it extends in a direction parallel to the microstrip line 44 to a side corresponding to the outer side of the metal ground plate 42. After extending a length of 02, it extends in a direction perpendicular to the microstrip line 44. Extend another length b2 to form the other microstrip antenna 452. In the preferred embodiment, special attention should be paid to the fact that regardless of the patterns formed by the two microstrip antennas 451 and 452, the two microstrip antennas 45 and 452 have the same size, and the two are arranged in the interface. The relationship positions on the electric substrate 43 are orthogonal to each other, and they are connected to each other by the chirp line 453 with a length of about a quarter of a wavelength (λ / 4). Thus, the microstrip line 44 is fed into the The radio signals of the two microstrip antennas 45 and 452 will not only produce a phase difference of about ninety degrees, but the field types of the two microstrip antennas 451 and 452 must also be orthogonal to each other to produce the required circularly polarized radiation effect. According to the design conditions of the foregoing preferred embodiment, the present invention actually manufactures two of the microstrip line 44, the transmission line 453, the two 200539757 microstrip antennas 451, 452, and a metal ground plate 42 on a dielectric substrate 43 On the side, the width of each line is 1.5 cm (mm), the transmission line 453 is a quarter-wavelength (λ / 4), about 29 cm, and the length of the two microstrip antennas 451, 452, where al It is 10 cm, bl is 20 cm, a2 is 10 cm, and b2 is 20 cm. After using a frequency and impedance measuring instrument to test it, the detection result can be known from the reflection coefficient shown in Fig. 6. The circle The frequency bandwidth of polarized printed circuit board antennas is not only larger than that of general microstrip antennas, but also has a good frequency response on the P-side of the bands at 2.3817 GHz (1 billion Hz) and 2.6291 GHz (1 billion Hz) (with- l0dB as the reference). According to the above, the present invention can use the manufacturing technology of printed circuits. When manufacturing printed circuit boards for wireless electronic products, the circularly polarized printed circuit board antennas are directly fabricated on the printed prosthetic board. It can produce a circularly polarized radiation effect, a larger radius simplifies the process of circularly polarized view, and reduces the manufacturing cost of a circularly polarized antenna.
