Description
本申请涉及天线技术领域,具体涉及一种双极化微带贴片天线、一种封装天线和一种终端设备。The present application relates to the technical field of antennas, and in particular to a dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna, a packaged antenna, and a terminal device.
天线是无线通信系统的收发组件。微带天线(microstrip antenna)具有低剖面,低成本,易集成等优势,在无线通信领域得到了广泛的应用。微带天线有很多不同的结构形式,主要包括三个基本的组成部分:辐射单元、参考地和馈电结构。当辐射单元采用辐射贴片的形式来实现时,这样的天线也被称为微带贴片天线(microstrip patch antenna,mpa)。The antenna is a transceiver component of a wireless communication system. Microstrip antennas have the advantages of low profile, low cost, and easy integration, and are widely used in the field of wireless communication. Microstrip antennas have many different structural forms, mainly including three basic components: radiating unit, reference ground and feeding structure. When the radiation unit is implemented in the form of a radiation patch, such an antenna is also called a microstrip patch antenna (mpa).
天线辐射时所形成的电场的方向就是天线的极化方向。天线的双极化(dual polarization)是指天线辐射时具有正交的两个极化方向,即天线辐射时的两个极化方向相互垂直。这样的天线能够形成两个互不干涉的波束,降低多路径损耗,系统容量是单极化天线的两倍。随着5G时代的到来,双极化天线的应用范围也将进一步从基站侧扩展到终端侧,成为众多应用场景的选择。The direction of the electric field formed when the antenna radiates is the polarization direction of the antenna. The dual polarization of an antenna means that the antenna has two orthogonal polarization directions when radiating, that is, the two polarization directions when the antenna is radiating are perpendicular to each other. Such an antenna can form two non-interfering beams to reduce multipath loss, and the system capacity is twice that of a single-polarized antenna. With the advent of the 5G era, the application range of dual-polarized antennas will further expand from the base station side to the terminal side, becoming the choice of many application scenarios.
微带贴片天线可以通过正交位置馈电的方式来实现双极化。请参见图1和图2,图1是一种微带贴片天线的俯视结构示意图,图2是图1的微带贴片天线的剖面结构示意图。该微带贴片天线包括参考地62和辐射贴片61,辐射贴片61设置于参考地62上方。辐射贴片61上有两个馈电点(feedpoint),一个是水平极化馈电点611,另一个是垂直极化馈电点612,指示了两根探针分别与辐射贴片连接的位置。水平极化馈电点611与辐射贴片的几何中心所连成的直线,垂直于垂直极化馈电点612与辐射贴片的几何中心所连成的直线,即上述两条直线正交。馈送至水平极化馈电点611的微波信号和馈送至垂直极化馈电点612的微波信号的极化方向相互垂直。通过这两个馈电点同轴馈电,从而使微带贴片天线实现双极化。The microstrip patch antenna can realize dual polarization through orthogonal position feeding. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of a microstrip patch antenna, and FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the microstrip patch antenna of FIG. 1. The microstrip patch antenna includes a reference ground 62 and a radiation patch 61, and the radiation patch 61 is disposed above the reference ground 62. The radiation patch 61 has two feed points, one is a horizontally polarized feed point 611, and the other is a vertically polarized feed point 612, indicating the positions where the two probes are respectively connected to the radiation patch . The horizontally polarized feed point 611 and the line connecting the geometric center of the radiation patch are perpendicular to the vertically polarized feed point 612 and the line connecting the geometric center of the radiation patch, that is, the two straight lines are orthogonal to each other. The polarization directions of the microwave signal fed to the horizontally polarized feeding point 611 and the microwave signal fed to the vertically polarized feeding point 612 are perpendicular to each other. The coaxial feeding through the two feeding points enables the dual-polarization of the microstrip patch antenna.
双极化微带贴片天线可以被应用到多种应用场景中,例如终端、基站等。这些应用场景中有的对于微带贴片天线的极化隔离度要求较低,例如一般的移动终端,极化隔离度只要达到10dB左右即可。而有的应用场景对于微带贴片天线的极化隔离度要求较高,例如对于蜂窝移动通信的中小基站中的中继天线而言,一般要求其极化隔离度达到25dB。因此,对于极化隔离度要求较高的应用场景,如图1和图2所示的双极化微带贴片天线由于两个馈电点之间的耦合作用较强,导致该天线的极化隔离度较低,故而无法被应用到这样的应用场景中。The dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna can be applied to various application scenarios, such as terminals and base stations. Some of these application scenarios have lower requirements for the polarization isolation of microstrip patch antennas. For example, for general mobile terminals, the polarization isolation can only reach about 10dB. Some application scenarios have high requirements for polarization isolation of microstrip patch antennas. For example, for relay antennas in small and medium-sized base stations for cellular mobile communications, the polarization isolation is generally required to reach 25dB. Therefore, for application scenarios that require high polarization isolation, the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a strong coupling effect between the two feed points, resulting in the polarities of the antenna The degree of chemical isolation is low, so it cannot be applied to such application scenarios.

下面对本申请的实施例作详细说明。The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below.
为了便于理解本申请的技术方案,以下先对天线的馈电点、隔离度这两个概念作简单介绍。In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the two concepts of the feeding point and isolation of the antenna are briefly introduced below.
天线的馈电点(feedpoint),也叫馈电端口,主要指的是馈电线与天线的接口。对于一些微带贴片天线而言,辐射贴片上标注的馈电点指示了探针与辐射贴片连接的位置。馈电点在辐射贴片上的位置不同,即探针与辐射贴片表面的接触位置不同,则天线的阻抗相应地不同。在设计天线时,可以通过选择合适的位置,使天线的阻抗与馈电线阻抗相匹配。The feed point of the antenna (feedpoint), also called the feed port, mainly refers to the interface between the feeder and the antenna. For some microstrip patch antennas, the feed point marked on the radiation patch indicates the position where the probe is connected to the radiation patch. The position of the feed point on the radiation patch is different, that is, the contact position of the probe and the surface of the radiation patch is different, then the impedance of the antenna is correspondingly different. When designing the antenna, you can match the impedance of the antenna with the impedance of the feeder by selecting an appropriate location.
对于双极化微带贴片天线而言,其一般采用两根探针来分别连接辐射贴片和信号发射装置。这样,辐射贴片上就有两个馈电点,这两个馈电点处于辐射贴片上的正交位置,馈送至两个馈电点的微波信号的极化方向一般相互垂直。例如,在图1和图2中,辐射贴片的几何中心C点与水平极化馈电点611所连成的直线,垂直于C点与垂直极化馈电点612所连成的直线,即上述两条直线为正交位置。馈送至水平极化馈电点611的微波信号的极化方向是平行于地平面的,馈送至垂直极化馈电点612的微波信号的极化方向是垂直于地平面的,两个微波信号的极化方向相互垂直。上述两个不同极化方向的微波信号可以使天线具有双极化特性,同时不会破坏天线电流的平衡性,引起天线方向图不对称的问题。For a dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna, it generally uses two probes to connect the radiation patch and the signal emitting device, respectively. In this way, there are two feeding points on the radiation patch, and these two feeding points are at orthogonal positions on the radiation patch, and the polarization directions of the microwave signals fed to the two feeding points are generally perpendicular to each other. For example, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the geometric center of the radiation patch point C and the horizontally polarized feed point 611 are connected to a line perpendicular to the point C and the vertically polarized feed point 612. That is, the two straight lines are orthogonal positions. The polarization direction of the microwave signal fed to the horizontally polarized feed point 611 is parallel to the ground plane, and the polarization direction of the microwave signal fed to the vertically polarized feed point 612 is perpendicular to the ground plane, two microwave signals The polarization directions are perpendicular to each other. The above two microwave signals with different polarization directions can make the antenna have dual polarization characteristics, and at the same time will not destroy the balance of the antenna current, causing the problem of asymmetry of the antenna pattern.
隔离度(isolation)是指一个天线发射功率与另一个天线所接受功率的比值,单位可以为dB。天线的隔离度用于定量表征天线之间耦合的强弱程度。Isolation refers to the ratio of the transmit power of one antenna to the power received by another antenna, and the unit can be dB. The isolation of the antenna is used to quantitatively characterize the strength of the coupling between the antennas.
对于双极化微带贴片天线而言,极化隔离度表示馈送到一个极化方向上的信号的功率在另一个极化方向上出现的功率之比。极化隔离度的单位可以为dB,将该功率的比值取以10为底的对数,即lg,就得到以dB为计数单位来表示的极化隔离度的值。举例来说,如图1所示的双极化微带贴片天线,当垂直极化激励时,通过垂直极化馈电点馈送至垂直极化方向上的信号功率为P1,同时垂直极化馈电点处的部分电流流至水平极化馈电点,使水平极化方向上出现信号,信号功率为P2,则极化隔离度可以表 示为P1/P2,或者lg(P1/P2)dB。此时,极化隔离度的数值越大,表明该双极化微带贴片天线上两个极化方向的相互干扰程度越小。For dual-polarized microstrip patch antennas, polarization isolation refers to the ratio of the power of signals fed in one polarization direction to the power that occurs in the other polarization direction. The unit of polarization isolation can be dB. Take the logarithm of base 10 as the ratio of the power, that is, lg, to obtain the value of polarization isolation expressed in dB as the counting unit. For example, in the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna shown in FIG. 1, when the vertical polarization is excited, the signal power fed to the vertical polarization direction through the vertical polarization feed point is P1, while the vertical polarization Part of the current at the feed point flows to the horizontally polarized feed point, so that a signal appears in the direction of horizontal polarization, the signal power is P2, then the polarization isolation can be expressed as P1/P2, or lg(P1/P2)dB . At this time, the larger the value of the polarization isolation, the smaller the degree of mutual interference between the two polarization directions on the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna.
为了提高极化隔离度,一种现有技术改进了双极化微带贴片天线的馈电方式。请参见图3和图4,图3是采用耦合馈电的双极化微带贴片天线的俯视结构示意图,图4是图3的天线的侧视结构示意图。该天线包括辐射贴片71和参考地72。其中,参考地72上开设有两个H型槽74,两个H型槽74正交。在参考地72下方设置有两根微带线73,两根微带线73分别设置在两个H型槽74的正下方,并且相互垂直。两根微带线73所馈送的微波信号的极化方向相互垂直。通过这种耦合馈电的方式,使该微带贴片天线具有较好的极化隔离度。In order to improve the polarization isolation, a prior art improves the feeding method of the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna. Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. FIG. 3 is a schematic structural plan view of a dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna using coupled feeding, and FIG. 4 is a schematic structural side view of the antenna of FIG. 3. The antenna includes a radiation patch 71 and a reference ground 72. Among them, two H-shaped grooves 74 are opened on the reference ground 72, and the two H-shaped grooves 74 are orthogonal. Two microstrip lines 73 are provided below the reference ground 72, and the two microstrip lines 73 are respectively provided directly below the two H-shaped grooves 74 and are perpendicular to each other. The polarization directions of the microwave signals fed by the two microstrip lines 73 are perpendicular to each other. Through this coupling and feeding method, the microstrip patch antenna has better polarization isolation.
但是,由于采用耦合馈电的方式,微带线73处于参考地72的下方,因此,微带线73在参考地72下方也产生辐射,导致该微带贴片天线的前后比(front-to-rear ratio)较差,增益也相应降低。However, due to the coupled feed method, the microstrip line 73 is below the reference ground 72. Therefore, the microstrip line 73 also generates radiation below the reference ground 72, resulting in a front-to-to-front ratio of the microstrip patch antenna. -rear ratio) is poor, and the gain is reduced accordingly.
为了改进前后比差的问题,可以在微带线73下方增加一层反射板,将微带线73在参考地72下方的辐射向上反射,从而提高该天线的前后比。但与此同时,这也会带来另外的问题,即增加反射板会增加微带贴片天线的整体高度,不利于双极化微带贴片天线的小型化和成本控制。也就是说,上述的双极化微带贴片天线虽然具有较好的极化隔离度,但是存在天线的整体高度较高、成本较高的问题。In order to improve the problem of the front-to-back ratio difference, a reflective plate can be added below the microstrip line 73 to reflect the radiation of the microstrip line 73 below the reference ground 72 upward, thereby improving the front-to-back ratio of the antenna. But at the same time, this will also bring another problem, that is, adding a reflective plate will increase the overall height of the microstrip patch antenna, which is not conducive to miniaturization and cost control of the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna. That is to say, although the above-mentioned dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna has better polarization isolation, there is a problem that the overall height of the antenna is higher and the cost is higher.
为此,本申请提出一种微带贴片天线,在该微带贴片天线的辐射贴片上开槽,以隔离不同极化方向的馈电点,从而在不增加双极化微带贴片天线的整体高度的情况下,提高双极化微带贴片天线的极化隔离度。To this end, this application proposes a microstrip patch antenna, a slot is formed in the radiating patch of the microstrip patch antenna to isolate the feeding points of different polarization directions, so as not to increase the dual-polarized microstrip patch In the case of the overall height of the patch antenna, the polarization isolation of the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna is improved.

第一探针41的一端与辐射贴片1连接,另一端可以与信号发射装置,例如射频芯片等连接,以便将信号馈送至辐射贴片1。类似地,第二探针42的一端与辐射贴片1 连接,另一端也可以与信号发射装置连接。信号发射装置与探针的另一端可以通过多种连接方式来连接,例如可以通过微带线或者焊球连接,本申请对此不作限定。一般地,第一探针41和第二探针42在连接辐射贴片1和信号发射装置时可以分别穿过参考地2。第一探针41和第二探针42可以有多种具体的实现形式,例如金属化过孔、金属柱等。One end of the first probe 41 is connected to the radiation patch 1, and the other end may be connected to a signal emitting device, such as a radio frequency chip, etc., so as to feed the signal to the radiation patch 1. Similarly, one end of the second probe 42 is connected to the radiation patch 1, and the other end may also be connected to the signal transmitting device. The signal emitting device and the other end of the probe can be connected by various connection methods, for example, by microstrip lines or solder balls, which is not limited in this application. Generally, the first probe 41 and the second probe 42 can pass through the reference ground 2 respectively when connecting the radiation patch 1 and the signal transmitting device. The first probe 41 and the second probe 42 may have various specific implementation forms, such as metalized vias, metal pillars, and the like.
对于双极化天线来说,第一探针41和第二探针42分别用于馈送两种极化方向相互垂直的信号,以使天线具有双极化特性。也就是说,馈送至第一馈电点14的微波信号与馈送至第二馈电点15的微波信号的极化方向相互垂直。For a dual-polarized antenna, the first probe 41 and the second probe 42 are respectively used to feed signals with two polarization directions perpendicular to each other, so that the antenna has dual-polarization characteristics. That is, the polarization directions of the microwave signal fed to the first feeding point 14 and the microwave signal fed to the second feeding point 15 are perpendicular to each other.
需要说明的是,除第一探针41和第二探针42以外,该天线还可以包括其他探针,例如,还包括第三探针和第四探针(图中未示出)。其中,第三探针、第四探针的一端分别与辐射贴片连接,另一端可以分别与信号发射装置连接,第三探针和第二探针可以关于第二槽对称,第四探针和第一探针可以关于第二槽对称。It should be noted that, in addition to the first probe 41 and the second probe 42, the antenna may also include other probes, for example, a third probe and a fourth probe (not shown in the figure). Among them, one end of the third probe and the fourth probe are respectively connected to the radiation patch, and the other end can be respectively connected to the signal emitting device, the third probe and the second probe can be symmetrical about the second slot, and the fourth probe The first probe may be symmetrical about the second slot.
上述双极化微带贴片天线在使用时,信号可以通过探针被馈送至辐射贴片上,以激励辐射贴片并产生或接收电磁波信号。通过在辐射贴片上开设第一槽和第二槽,将辐射贴片划分为四个直角区域。将两根探针与辐射贴片连接的位置,即第一馈电点和第二馈电点设置在相邻的两个直角区域中,从而将第一馈电点和第二馈电点分隔。通过这样的结构,就可以改变辐射贴片上电流的路径,将来自其中一个馈电点的绝大部分电流拦在另一个馈电点所处的直角区域之外,减少了从其中一个馈电点流至另一个馈电点的电流,进而提升了该天线的极化隔离度。此外,由于辐射贴片上的第一槽关于第二槽对称,第二槽关于第一槽对称,故而第一槽和第二槽不会破坏该天线的双极化特性。这样的双极化微带贴片天线可以被应用到对极化隔离度要求更高的应用场景中,从而拓宽了双极化微带贴片天线的应用范围。When the above dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna is used, a signal can be fed to the radiation patch through a probe to excite the radiation patch and generate or receive electromagnetic wave signals. By arranging the first slot and the second slot on the radiation patch, the radiation patch is divided into four right-angle areas. The position where the two probes are connected to the radiation patch, that is, the first feeding point and the second feeding point are arranged in two adjacent right-angle areas, thereby separating the first feeding point and the second feeding point . With this structure, you can change the path of the current on the radiating patch, and block most of the current from one feed point outside the right-angle area where the other feed point is located, reducing the feed from one of the feed points. The current flowing from one point to another feeding point further improves the polarization isolation of the antenna. In addition, since the first slot on the radiation patch is symmetrical about the second slot, and the second slot is symmetrical about the first slot, the first slot and the second slot will not destroy the dual polarization characteristics of the antenna. Such a dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna can be applied to application scenarios requiring higher polarization isolation, thereby broadening the application range of the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna.
对于未开槽的辐射贴片,图9示出了激励第二馈电点15时辐射贴片上的电流曲线。对于开设第一槽11和第二槽12之后的辐射贴片,图10示出了激励第二馈电点15时辐射贴片上的电流曲线。在这两幅电流曲线示意图中,颜色越深、密度越大,表示电流越强。可见,未开槽时,有较强的电流从第二馈电点15流至第一馈电点14,而开设第一槽11和第二槽12之后,从第二馈电点15流出的电流的流向发生改变,减少了从第二馈电点15流至第一馈电点14的电流。For an ungrooved radiation patch, FIG. 9 shows the current curve on the radiation patch when the second feed point 15 is excited. For the radiation patch after the first slot 11 and the second slot 12 are opened, FIG. 10 shows the current curve on the radiation patch when the second feeding point 15 is excited. In the two current curve diagrams, the darker the color and the greater the density, the stronger the current. It can be seen that when the slot is not slotted, a strong current flows from the second feeding point 15 to the first feeding point 14, and after the first slot 11 and the second slot 12 are opened, the current flowing from the second feeding point 15 The flow direction of the current changes, reducing the current flowing from the second feeding point 15 to the first feeding point 14.
图11示出了在仿真实验中,采用未开槽的辐射贴片,即原始贴片的天线,以及采用开有第一槽和第二槽的辐射贴片的天线,二者的极化隔离度曲线。其中,横坐标表示天线的工作频率,纵坐标表示天线的极化隔离度。需要说明的是,在该仿真实验得到的极化隔离度曲线图中,由于极化隔离度采用lg(P2/P1)dB来表示,其值一般为负数。此时,图中所示数值的绝对值越大,表示两个极化方向的相互干扰程度越小。从图11可以看出,在26.50-29.50GHz的工作频段中,采用原始贴片的天线的极化隔离度最大值为-13.73dB,采用开有第一槽和第二槽的辐射贴片的天线的极化隔离度最大值为-26.12dB。以该极化隔离度的绝对值来描述,则两个馈电点之间的极化隔离度的最小值从未开槽的13dB左右提升至开槽后的26dB左右。这说明在辐射贴片上开设第一槽和第二槽,可以大幅提升天线的极化隔离度。Fig. 11 shows that in the simulation experiment, the antenna using the unslotted radiation patch, that is, the original patch antenna, and the antenna using the radiation slot with the first slot and the second slot, the polarization isolation of the two Degrees curve. Among them, the abscissa indicates the operating frequency of the antenna, and the ordinate indicates the polarization isolation of the antenna. It should be noted that, in the polarization isolation graph obtained by this simulation experiment, since the polarization isolation is expressed by lg(P2/P1)dB, its value is generally negative. At this time, the larger the absolute value of the numerical value shown in the figure, the smaller the degree of mutual interference between the two polarization directions. It can be seen from Figure 11 that in the working frequency band of 26.50-29.50GHz, the polarization isolation of the antenna using the original patch has a maximum value of -13.73dB, and the radiation patch with the first slot and the second slot is used. The maximum polarization isolation of the antenna is -26.12dB. Described in terms of the absolute value of the polarization isolation, the minimum value of the polarization isolation between the two feed points is raised from about 13 dB from slotting to about 26 dB after slotting. This shows that opening the first slot and the second slot on the radiation patch can greatly improve the polarization isolation of the antenna.
此外,与前述的两种提高极化隔离度的实现方式相比,本实施例中的天线不需要增加额外的叠层,例如额外的反射板等,因而不会增加天线的整体高度,有利于天线的成本控制。In addition, compared with the foregoing two implementations for improving polarization isolation, the antenna in this embodiment does not need to add an additional stack, such as an additional reflective plate, etc., and thus does not increase the overall height of the antenna, which is beneficial to Antenna cost control.
为了进一步提升极化隔离度,本申请的实施例还对辐射贴片做了进一步改进。可选地,在第一槽11的两端分别设置有电流导向槽,且位于第一槽11的任意一端的电流导向槽与第一槽11的对应一端相交。在第二槽12的两端也分别设置有电流导向槽,且位于第二槽12的任意一端的电流导向槽与第二槽12的对应一端相交。通过在第一槽11和第二槽12两端设置电流导向槽,可以约束来自一个馈电点的部分电流,阻挡其流至另一个馈电点,从而提高天线的极化隔离度。In order to further improve the polarization isolation, the embodiment of the present application further improves the radiation patch. Optionally, current guide grooves are respectively provided at both ends of the first groove 11, and the current guide grooves located at any one end of the first groove 11 intersect the corresponding end of the first groove 11. Current guide grooves are also provided at both ends of the second groove 12, and the current guide grooves located at any one end of the second groove 12 intersect the corresponding end of the second groove 12. By providing current guiding slots at both ends of the first slot 11 and the second slot 12, part of the current from one feeding point can be restricted and blocked from flowing to another feeding point, thereby improving the polarization isolation of the antenna.

FIG. 12 is a schematic structural view of a top view of one implementation of a dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna with a current guiding slot. FIG. 13 is a schematic structural view of the side view of FIG. 12. In the implementation shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the first slot 11, the second slot 12, the first feeding point 14, the second feeding point 15, the first probe 41, the second probe 42 and the reference Ground 2 is the same as that in the foregoing FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 and will not be repeated here. The current guiding slot may be an arrow-shaped slot 16, including a third sub-slot 161 and a fourth sub-slot 162. It should be understood that the current guiding groove may refer to any one of the current guiding grooves located at both ends of the first groove 11 or the current guiding grooves located at both ends of the second groove 12.
第一槽11的两端和第二槽12的两端可以各设置一个箭头形槽16。对于设置在第一槽11一端的箭头形槽16而言,其第三子槽161的一端与第四子槽162的一端相交于第一槽11的一端,并且第三子槽161和第四子槽162关于第一槽11对称。相应地,对于设置在第一槽11另一端的箭头形槽16而言,其第三子槽161的一端与第四子槽162的一端则相交于第一槽11的另一端。类似地,对于设置在第二槽12一端的箭头形槽16而言,其第三子槽161的一端与第四子槽162的一端相交于第二槽12的一端,并且第三子槽161和第四子槽162关于第二槽12对称。对于设置在第二槽12另一端的箭头形槽16而言,其第三子槽161的一端与第四子槽162的一端则相交于第二槽12的另一端。An arrow-shaped groove 16 may be provided at each end of the first groove 11 and the two ends of the second groove 12. For the arrow-shaped groove 16 provided at one end of the first groove 11, one end of the third sub-groove 161 and one end of the fourth sub-groove 162 intersect at one end of the first groove 11, and the third sub-groove 161 and the fourth The sub-groove 162 is symmetrical about the first groove 11. Correspondingly, for the arrow-shaped groove 16 provided at the other end of the first groove 11, one end of the third sub-groove 161 and one end of the fourth sub-groove 162 intersect the other end of the first groove 11. Similarly, for the arrow-shaped slot 16 provided at one end of the second slot 12, the end of the third sub slot 161 and the end of the fourth sub slot 162 intersect at the end of the second slot 12, and the third sub slot 161 It is symmetrical with the fourth sub-groove 162 about the second groove 12. For the arrow-shaped groove 16 provided at the other end of the second groove 12, one end of the third sub-groove 161 and one end of the fourth sub-groove 162 intersect the other end of the second groove 12.
对于开设第一槽11、第二槽12以及箭头形槽16之后的辐射贴片1,图14示出了激励第二馈电点15时辐射贴片1上的电流曲线。将图14的电流曲线与图10相比,可见,电流导向槽进一步阻挡了来自第二馈电点15的部分电流,使其无法流到第一馈电点14,从而提高了两个馈电点之间的极化隔离度。For the radiation patch 1 after the first slot 11, the second slot 12 and the arrow-shaped slot 16 are opened, FIG. 14 shows the current curve on the radiation patch 1 when the second feeding point 15 is excited. Comparing the current curve of FIG. 14 with FIG. 10, it can be seen that the current guiding groove further blocks part of the current from the second feeding point 15 so that it cannot flow to the first feeding point 14, thereby improving the two feedings Polarization isolation between points.

Optionally, when the angle is a right angle or an obtuse angle, the arrow-shaped slot 16 can better block the current from a feeding point to be enclosed by the first slot 11, the second slot 12, and the arrow-shaped slot 16 Outside the area, so that less current can flow to another feed within the area, further improving the polarization isolation of the antenna.

The lengths of the third sub-groove 161 and the fourth sub-groove 162 may be equal or different. When the lengths of the third sub-slot 161 and the fourth sub-slot 162 are equal, the degree of symmetry of the dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna in the two polarization directions is higher. The specific shapes and sizes of the third sub-groove 161 and the fourth sub-groove 162 can be determined through simulation and experiment according to the product performance requirements of the antenna.

这里,弧形槽17的弧长、直径等可以根据天线的产品性能需求,通过仿真、实验来确定,本申请对此不作限定。Here, the arc length, diameter, etc. of the arc-shaped slot 17 can be determined through simulation and experiment according to the product performance requirements of the antenna, which is not limited in this application.
应理解,无论电流导向槽为箭头形槽或弧形槽,辐射贴片均可以是圆形、正多边形等中心对称的形状。It should be understood that regardless of whether the current guiding groove is an arrow-shaped groove or an arc-shaped groove, the radiation patch may have a circular, regular polygonal, etc. center-symmetric shape.
可选地,当辐射贴片1的形状为正方形时,电流导向槽为箭头形槽16,并且第三子槽161和第四子槽162所构成的角为直角,如图12所示。当辐射贴片1的形状为圆形时,电流导向槽为弧形槽17,并且弧形槽17的圆心与辐射贴片1的圆心重合,如图15所示。此时,电流导向槽构成的形状与辐射贴片边缘的形状相似,有利于提高天线的极化程度。Optionally, when the shape of the radiation patch 1 is square, the current guiding groove is an arrow-shaped groove 16, and the angle formed by the third sub-groove 161 and the fourth sub-groove 162 is a right angle, as shown in FIG. When the shape of the radiation patch 1 is circular, the current guiding groove is an arc-shaped groove 17, and the center of the arc-shaped groove 17 coincides with the center of the radiation patch 1, as shown in FIG. 15. At this time, the shape of the current guiding groove is similar to the shape of the edge of the radiation patch, which is beneficial to improve the degree of polarization of the antenna.
以图14所示的辐射贴片为例,第三子槽161与辐射贴片1的两条边平行,第四子槽162与辐射贴片1的另外两条边平行。从图中可见,被箭头形槽16阻挡在外的电流主要聚集在靠近箭头形槽16外侧的区域,该区域往外到辐射贴片边缘的区域中,电流曲线总体上呈直线,较少受到聚集区域电流的挤压作用。这样,就减少了箭头形槽16对天线的极化程度的影响。Taking the radiation patch shown in FIG. 14 as an example, the third sub-groove 161 is parallel to the two sides of the radiation patch 1, and the fourth sub-groove 162 is parallel to the other two sides of the radiation patch 1. It can be seen from the figure that the current blocked by the arrow-shaped groove 16 is mainly concentrated in the area near the outside of the arrow-shaped groove 16, and the area is outward to the area of the edge of the radiation patch. The current curve is generally straight, and it is less affected by the concentration area The squeezing effect of current. In this way, the influence of the arrow-shaped groove 16 on the degree of polarization of the antenna is reduced.
可选地,请参见图5,当辐射贴片1的形状为正方形时,第一槽11的中心线实质为该正方形辐射贴片的一条对角线,第二槽12的中心线实质为正方形辐射贴片的另一条对角线。第一槽11的中心线的延伸方向与第一槽11的长度方向相同,第二槽12的中心线的延伸方向与第二槽12的长度方向相同。此时,辐射贴片1相对于第一槽11轴对称,相对于第二槽12也轴对称,故而不会破坏天线的双极化特性,使该天线在两个极化方向上的性能一致程度较高。Optionally, referring to FIG. 5, when the shape of the radiation patch 1 is square, the center line of the first slot 11 is substantially a diagonal line of the square radiation patch, and the center line of the second slot 12 is substantially square The other diagonal of the radiation patch. The extending direction of the center line of the first groove 11 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the first groove 11, and the extending direction of the center line of the second groove 12 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the second groove 12. At this time, the radiation patch 1 is axisymmetric with respect to the first slot 11 and also axisymmetric with respect to the second slot 12, so that the dual-polarization characteristic of the antenna is not damaged, and the performance of the antenna in two polarization directions is consistent The degree is higher.
