具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
以下,术语“第一”、“第二”等仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”等的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本申请的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
此外,本申请中,“上”、“下”等方位术语是相对于附图中的部件示意置放的方位来定义的,应当理解到,这些方向性术语是相对的概念,它们用于相对于的描述和澄清,其可以根据附图中部件所放置的方位的变化而相应地发生变化。
以下,对本申请实施例可能出现的术语进行解释。
耦合:指两个或两个以上的电路元件或电网络的输入与输出之间存在紧密配合与相互影响,并通过相互作用从一侧向另一侧传输能量的现象。
天线方向图:也称辐射方向图。是指在离天线一定距离处,天线辐射场的相对场强(归一化模值)随方向变化的图形,通常采用通过天线最大辐射方向上的两个相互垂直的平面方向图来表示。
天线方向图通常都有多个辐射波束。其中辐射强度最大的辐射波束称为主瓣,其余的辐射波束称为副瓣或旁瓣。在副瓣中,与主瓣相反方向上的副瓣也叫后瓣。
波束宽度:分为水平波束宽度和垂直波束宽度。其中,水平波束宽度是指在水平方向上,在最大辐射方向两侧,辐射功率下降3dB的两个方向的夹角;垂直波束宽度是指在垂直方向上,在最大辐射方向两侧,辐射功率下降3dB的两个方向的夹角。
天线增益:用于表征天线把输入功率集中辐射的程度。通常,天线方向图的主瓣越窄,副瓣越小,天线增益越高。
天线系统效率:指天线向空间辐射出去的功率(即有效地转换电磁波部分的功率)和天线的输入功率之比。
天线辐射效率:指天线向空间辐射出去的功率(即有效地转换电磁波部分的功率)和输入到天线的有功功率之比。其中,输入到天线的有功功率=天线的输入功率-回波损耗;回波损耗主要包括金属的欧姆损耗和/或介质损耗。
天线回波损耗:可以理解为经过天线电路反射回天线端口的信号功率与天线端口发射功率的比值。反射回来的信号越小,说明通过天线向空间辐射出去的信号越大,天线的辐射效率越大。反射回来的信号越大,说明通过天线向空间辐射出去的信号越小,天线的辐射效率越小。
天线回波损耗可以用S11参数来表示,S11参数通常为负数。S11参数越小,表示天线回波损耗越小,天线的辐射效率越大;S11参数越大,表示天线回波损耗越大,天线的辐射效率越小。
天线隔离度:是指一个天线发射的信号与另一个天线所接收的信号功率的比值。可以用S21、S12参数表示。
首先请参见图1a,图1a是本申请实施例提供的一种天线单元的结构示意图。

工作时,上述缝隙朝着背面方向向反射板辐射电磁波,电磁波到达反射板时,在反射板的作用下,电磁波的辐射方向发生改变,使得电磁波朝着正面方向辐射,形成定向波束,达到定向高增益的效果。
该天线单元例如可以为双极化天线单元,该介质板10上例如设有两个信号输入端口:第一信号输入端口1011和第二信号输入端口1021,该第一信号输入端口1011可以向微带线100输入第一极化信号,该第二信号输入端口1021例如可以向微带线100输入第二极化信号。其中,第一极化信号和第二极化信号的极化方向正交,即第一极化信号和第二极化信号振幅相等且相差90°。
需要说明的是,该双极化天线单元可以采用±45°的双极化模式,也可以采用垂直/水平双极化模式,本申请对此不做限制,这些均属于本申请的保护范围。

其中,λ为无线波的波长。由此,缝隙长度约等于无线波的波长的二分之一,在缝隙的长度与半波长相当时,辐射性能更佳。
其中,第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202的长度l如图2a、图2b、图3所示,为第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202的长边长度。

由此,通过在金属层20上设置第三缝隙206,在保持第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202的电长度不变的情况下,可以进一步减小第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202的物理长度和宽度,减小天线单元的水平面尺寸。

由此,通过在金属层20上设置第三缝隙206,在保持第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202的电长度不变的情况下,可以进一步减小第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202的物理长度和宽度,减小天线单元的水平面尺寸。
本申请实施例对该第三缝隙206的位置不做限制,在本申请一些实施例中,如图3a所示,第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202组成十字形结构,第三缝隙206分别设置在该十字形的四条边的中间位置。

如图4a、图4b所示,该第一微带线101包括:第一边1012、第二边1013以及第三边1014,第一边1012、第二边1013以及第三边1014共同组成“U”形结构。

如图4b所示,第一微带线101的第二边1013分别和第二微带线102的第五边1023、第二微带线102的第四边1022正交设置,且第一微带线101的第一边1012分别和第二微带线102的第四边1022、第二微带线102的第五边1023正交设置。
其中,为了避免正交设置的第一微带线101和第二微带线102相干扰,在本申请 的一些实施例中,可以将第一微带线101与第二微带线102相交叉的部分跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第二微带线102。
在一种可能的实施例中,如图1a、图4a所示,其中,第一微带线101的第二边1013和第二微带线102的第五边1023正交设置,为了避免正交设置的第二边1013和第五边1023相干扰,在本申请的一些实施例中,可以将第二边1013的交叉部分跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第五边1023。当然,在本申请另一些实施例中,也可以将第五边1023的交叉部分跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第二边1013。这些均属于本申请的保护范围。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图1b(沿图1a中A-A向的剖视图)所示,第一微带线101的包括至少一条第一子微带线103和至少一条第二子微带线104。
下面,对第一子微带线103、第二子微带线104以及第二微带线102三者的位置关系进行说明。
第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104平行设置,也就是说,第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104错位排布,二者不在同一延伸线上。
第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104沿第一微带线101的延伸方向交替连接。
在第一种可能的实施例中:
如图1b所示,第二子微带线104与第一子微带线103异层设置,第一子微带线103与第二微带线102同层设置。
也就是说,第一微带线101中的第一子微带线103和第二微带线102同层设置,第一微带线101中的第二子微带线104跳线至介质板20的第二表面,以避免与第二微带线102短路。
此外,由于介质板10的第二表面a2上设有金属层20,为避免第二子微带线104与金属层20短路,可以在金属层20上设置开口205,并将第二子微带线104设置于该开口205内。
如图1b所示,为了避免相邻层之间的微带线发生短路,相邻层微带线分别设置在介质板的第一表面和第二表面上。本申请不对介质板的材料进行限定,能起到绝缘作用的材料都可以适用于介质板20。
其中,不对第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104的连接方式进行限定,例如,如图1b所示,第一微带线101还包括连接部105,在第一子微带线103和第二子微带线104不同层的情况下,第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104通过连接部105连接。
需要说明的是,连接部105可以采用过孔,其中,过孔也称金属化孔,为连通第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104,在需要连通的第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104在介质板10的交汇处钻上一个公共孔,即过孔。其中,过孔的孔壁圆柱面上可以,例如采用化学沉积的方法,镀上一层金属,用以连通第一子微带线103与第二子微带线104。
由此,该第一微带线101和该第二微带线102传输的信号极化方向正交,且第一微带线101和第二微带线102的设置方式也正交,提高了天线单元的隔离度。
此外,通过将第二子微带线104跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第二微带线102,并通过连接部105连接第一子微带线103和第二子微带线104,可以在第一微带线101 和第二微带线102互不干扰的情况下,将第一微带线和第二微带线正交设置,减小了对水平面空间的占用,有利于设备的小型化。
上述实施例中仅以将第一微带线101的部分跳线至其他层为例,在本申请另一些实施例中,也可以将第二微带线102与第一微带线101相交叉的部分跳线至其它层,这些均属于本申请的保护范围。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,如图4b所示,第一微带线101的第二边1013分别和第二微带线102的第五边1023、第二微带线102的第四边1022正交设置,且第一微带线101的第一边1012分别和第二微带线102的第四边1022、第二微带线102的第五边1023正交设置,为了避免正交设置的第二边1013和第五边1023、第二边1013和第四边1022、第一边1012和第五边1023、以及第一边1012和第四边1022相干扰,在本申请的一些实施例中,可以将第二边1013上和第五边1023相交叉的部分、第二边1013上和第四边1022相交叉的部分均跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第五边1023和第四边1022,并将第一边1012上和第五边1023相交叉的部分、第一边1012上和第四边1022相交叉的部分均跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第五边1023和第四边1022。当然,也可以将第五边1023上和第一边1012、第五边1023上和第二边1013相交叉的部分跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第一边1012和第二边1013,同时将第四边1022上和第一边1012、第四边1022上和第二边1013相交叉的部分跳线至介质板的第二表面,以避让第一边1012和第二边1013。这些均属于本申请的保护范围。
其中,该第一缝隙201和该第一微带线101相对设置,该第二缝隙202和该第二微带线102相对设置,该第一微带线101用于对该第一缝隙201馈电,该第二微带线102用于对该第二缝隙202馈电。
在本申请一些实施例中,该第一微带线101在该金属层20上的投影和第一缝隙201在其相交处垂直。该第二微带线102在该金属层20上的投影与第二缝隙202在其相交处垂直。
本申请实施例对该第一微带线101和该第二微带线102的具体结构不做限制。在本申请的一些实施例中,该第一微带线101和该第二微带线102例如为“U”形,该第一微带线101和该第二微带线102分别通过“U”的“丨”部对设置在金属层20上的缝隙200进行馈电。
上述第一缝隙201与该第一微带线101相对设置,指的是该第一微带线101在该金属层20上的垂直投影与该第一缝隙201相交,上述该第二缝隙202与该第二微带线102相对设置,指的是该第二微带线102在该金属层20上的垂直投影与该第二缝隙202相交。
如图5a、图5b所示,该第一微带线101的至少一个“丨”部在该金属层20上的第一投影1010与第一缝隙201交叉,且垂直于该第一缝隙201的延伸方向。
该第二微带线102的至少一个“丨”部在该金属层20上的第二投影1020与第二缝隙202交叉,且垂直于该第二缝隙202的延伸方向。
图5a中,第一微带线101的两个“丨”部在该金属层20上的第一投影1010均与第一缝隙201交叉,且垂直于该第一缝隙201的延伸方向。
且第二微带线102的两个“丨”部在该金属层20上的第二投影1020与第二缝隙202交叉,且垂直于该第二缝隙202的延伸方向。由此,第一微带线101通过“U”的两个“丨” 部对第一缝隙201进行馈电,第二微带线102通过“U”的两个“丨”部对第二缝隙202进行馈电,提高了耦合性能。
图5b中,第一微带线101的1个“丨”部在该金属层20上的第一投影1010均与第一缝隙201交叉,且垂直于该第一缝隙201的延伸方向。
且第二微带线102的1个“丨”部在该金属层20上的第二投影1020与第二缝隙202交叉,且垂直于该第二缝隙202的延伸方向。由此,可以仅通过“U”形结构的1个“丨”边对缝隙进行馈电。
本申请实施例中,可以通过微带线中“U”的两个“丨”边分别对第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202进行馈电,也可以仅通过微带线中“U”的1个“丨”边分别对第一缝隙201和第二缝隙202进行馈电,这些均属于本申请的保护范围。
此外,为使得通过该第一微带线101和该第二微带线102的射频能量分别均匀传递至该第一缝隙201和该第二缝隙202,可以将该第一缝隙201沿该第一微带线101对称设置,以及将该第二缝隙202沿该第二微带线102对称设置。
具体设置时,可使得该第一微带线101的“丨”部在该金属层20上的第一投影1010的延伸方向垂直于该第一缝隙201的延伸方向,且该第一缝隙201沿该第一投影1010的延伸方向对称设置。并使得该第二微带线102的“丨”部在该金属层20上的第二投影1020的延伸方向垂直于该第二缝隙202的延伸方向,且该第二缝隙202沿该第二投影1020的延伸方向对称设置。
本申请实施例提供的天线单元,将第一缝隙201沿第一投影1010对称设置,并将第二缝隙202沿第二投影1020对称设置,有利于将该射频能量分别通过第一微带线101和该第二微带线102均匀向缝隙200中传递,避免由射频能量传递不均引起的阻抗失配。
本申请还提供一种天线阵列,该天线阵列包括至少两个如上所述的天线单元,以及反射板;其中,每一个该天线单元耦合至该反射板。

其中,该第一天线单元001和第二天线单元002的金属层20的各边沿还可以与该反射板形成第四缝隙010,该微带线100还用于对该第四缝隙耦合馈电,在微带线100的激励下,第四缝隙也会产生辐射。
其中,第一天线单元001和第二天线单元002包括:设置在反射板一侧的介质板10,该介质板10靠近反射板01的表面设置有金属层20。
其中,介质板10和金属层20的总厚度约为1mm,介质板10和金属层20的平面尺寸为30x30mm,该天线单元与反射板之间的距离约为9mm,该天线单元例如工作在5G N77~N79(3.3GHz~5GHz)频段。
