技术领域technical field
本申请涉及到感知领域,尤其涉及到一种天线、探测装置、雷达及终端,可以应用于自动驾驶、智能驾驶或者无人驾驶。The present application relates to the field of perception, in particular to an antenna, a detection device, a radar and a terminal, which can be applied to automatic driving, intelligent driving or unmanned driving.
背景技术Background technique
随着社会的发展,智能运输设备、智能家居设备、机器人等智能终端正在逐步进入人们的日常生活中。传感器在智能终端上发挥着十分重要的作用。安装在智能终端上的各式各样的传感器,比如毫米波雷达,激光雷达,摄像头,超声波雷达等,在智能终端的运动过程中感知周围的环境,收集数据,进行移动物体的辨识与追踪,以及静止场景如车道线、标示牌的识别,并结合导航仪及地图数据进行路径规划。传感器可以预先察觉到可能发生的危险并辅助甚至自主采取必要的规避手段,有效增加了智能终端的安全性和舒适性。With the development of society, intelligent terminals such as intelligent transportation equipment, smart home equipment, and robots are gradually entering people's daily life. Sensors play a very important role in smart terminals. Various sensors installed on the smart terminal, such as millimeter-wave radar, lidar, camera, ultrasonic radar, etc., perceive the surrounding environment during the movement of the smart terminal, collect data, and identify and track moving objects. As well as the identification of static scenes such as lane lines and signs, and combined with navigator and map data for path planning. Sensors can detect possible dangers in advance and assist or even take necessary evasion measures autonomously, effectively increasing the safety and comfort of smart terminals.
以智能终端为智能运输设备为例,毫米波天线由于成本较低、技术比较成熟率先成为无人驾驶系统和辅助驾驶系统的主力传感器。目前高级辅助驾驶系统(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems,ADAS)已开发出十多项功能,其中自适应巡航控制(Adaptive Cruise Control,ACC)、自动紧急制动(Autonomous Emergency Braking,AEB)、变道辅助(Lance Change Assist,LCA)、盲点监测(Blind Spot Monitoring,BSD)都离不开毫米波天线。Taking the intelligent terminal as an intelligent transportation device as an example, the millimeter-wave antenna is the first to become the main sensor of the unmanned system and the assisted driving system due to its low cost and relatively mature technology. At present, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has developed more than ten functions, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Change Assist ( Lance Change Assist (LCA) and Blind Spot Monitoring (BSD) are all inseparable from millimeter-wave antennas.
为满足智能运输设备的各种多变复杂的应用环境,天线需要满足大带宽、宽波束、低副瓣等需求。其中,带宽越宽代表天线可以支持更多的工作频段,从而支持更高的信道容量传输。目前常见的天线由于谐振模式单一,天线工作带宽受限,因此,如何提供提高天线的带宽是技术人员亟需解决的技术问题之一。In order to meet the various changing and complex application environments of intelligent transportation equipment, the antenna needs to meet the requirements of large bandwidth, wide beam, and low side lobes. Among them, a wider bandwidth means that the antenna can support more working frequency bands, thereby supporting higher channel capacity transmission. Due to the single resonance mode of the currently common antenna, the working bandwidth of the antenna is limited. Therefore, how to improve the bandwidth of the antenna is one of the technical problems that technicians urgently need to solve.

The corresponding gap between the coupling patch and the feed line is coincident with the center of the orthographic projection of the first dielectric substrate.

首先参考图1和图2所示,图1为本申请实施例提供的一种天线的俯视图,图2为图1中的天线沿AA’方向的剖面图。该天线包括第一介质基板10、馈线11、多个耦合贴片12和多个寄生贴片13;其中:所述馈线11和所述多个耦合贴片12位于第一介质基板10的一侧,且所述多个耦合贴片12沿所述馈线11的延伸方向X依次排布,且所述多个耦合贴片12中的至少一个耦合贴片12与所述馈线11之间具有缝隙;所述多个寄生贴片13位于所述第一介质基板20背离所述第一介质基板10一侧,所述多个寄生贴片13中的至少有一个寄生贴片13对应至少一个所述耦合贴片12;其中,与所述耦合贴片12对应的寄生贴片中,所述寄生贴片13在所述第一介质基板10的正投影与其对应的所述耦合贴片12与所述馈线11的缝隙在所述第一介质基板10的正投影至少部分重叠。Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2 , FIG. 1 is a top view of an antenna according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the antenna in FIG. 1 along the AA' direction. The antenna includes a first dielectric substrate 10 , a feeder 11 , a plurality of coupling patches 12 and a plurality of parasitic patches 13 ; wherein: the feeder 11 and the plurality of coupling patches 12 are located on one side of the first dielectric substrate 10 , and the plurality of coupling patches 12 are sequentially arranged along the extension direction X of the feeder 11 , and at least one of the plurality of coupling patches 12 has a gap between the feeder 11 and the feeder 11 ; The plurality of parasitic patches 13 are located on the side of the first dielectric substrate 20 away from the first dielectric substrate 10 , and at least one parasitic patch 13 of the plurality of parasitic patches 13 corresponds to at least one of the couplings Patch 12; wherein, among the parasitic patches corresponding to the coupling patch 12, the orthographic projection of the parasitic patch 13 on the first dielectric substrate 10 and its corresponding coupling patch 12 and the feeder The orthographic projection of the first dielectric substrate 10 at least partially overlaps the slits 11 .
在本申请提供的天线中,由于耦合贴片12与所述馈线11之间具有缝隙,从而所述耦合贴片12与所述馈线11之间通过缝隙耦合形式可以实现耦合馈电。由于寄生贴片13在所述第一介质基板10的正投影与其对应的所述耦合贴片12与所述馈线11的缝隙在所述第一介质基板10的正投影至少部分重叠。从而使寄生贴片13被耦合缝隙激励,最终耦合贴片12与寄生贴片13同时被激励实现不同谐振频率,从而展宽工作带宽,实现宽带特性。并且,在本申请中,耦合贴片12与寄生贴片13共同辐射,从而叠加实现远场辐射方向图。正是由于寄生贴片13与耦合贴片12均能实现独立的谐振,因此本申请的天线为双谐振形式天线。In the antenna provided by the present application, since there is a gap between the coupling patch 12 and the feeder line 11 , the coupling patch 12 and the feeder line 11 can realize coupling and feeding in the form of slot coupling. Because the orthographic projection of the parasitic patch 13 on the first dielectric substrate 10 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the corresponding gap between the coupling patch 12 and the feeder 11 on the first dielectric substrate 10 . Therefore, the parasitic patch 13 is excited by the coupling slot, and finally the coupling patch 12 and the parasitic patch 13 are excited at the same time to realize different resonance frequencies, thereby broadening the working bandwidth and realizing broadband characteristics. Moreover, in the present application, the coupling patch 12 and the parasitic patch 13 radiate together, so as to superimpose and realize the far-field radiation pattern. Just because the parasitic patch 13 and the coupling patch 12 can achieve independent resonance, the antenna of the present application is a dual-resonance antenna.
参见图1,馈线11的起始端11a用于实现天线的馈电;馈线11的终端11b可以为开路状态或短路状态。当馈线11的终端11b为开路状态时,馈线11的终端11b呈自由延伸态,不接任何导电体,当馈线11的终端11b为短路状态时,馈线11的终端11b用于接地。Referring to FIG. 1 , the starting end 11a of the feeder 11 is used to realize the feeding of the antenna; the terminal 11b of the feeder 11 may be in an open state or a short circuit state. When the terminal 11b of the feeder 11 is in an open state, the terminal 11b of the feeder 11 is in a free extension state and is not connected to any conductor. When the terminal 11b of the feeder 11 is in a short-circuit state, the terminal 11b of the feeder 11 is used for grounding.

The antenna further includes a floor layer 30 , the floor layer 30 is used for grounding, and the floor layer 30 is located on the side of the first dielectric substrate 10 away from the parasitic patch 13 . During specific implementation, both the feeder 11 and the coupling patch 12 need to be isolated from the floor layer 30 .
本申请所述耦合贴片12与所述馈线11之间通过缝隙耦合形式实现耦合馈电,寄生贴片13又被耦合缝隙激励,最终耦合贴片12与寄生贴片13同时被激励实现不同谐振频率,从而展宽工作带宽,实现宽带特性。由于寄生贴片13与耦合贴片12均能实现独立的谐振,因此本申请的天线为双谐振形式天线,且耦合贴片12与寄生贴片13均工作于TM01模式,为典型的贴片工作模式。The coupling patch 12 and the feeder line 11 in the present application realize coupling feeding in the form of slot coupling, the parasitic patch 13 is excited by the coupling slot, and finally the coupling patch 12 and the parasitic patch 13 are excited at the same time to achieve different resonances frequency, thereby broadening the working bandwidth and realizing broadband characteristics. Since both the parasitic patch 13 and the coupling patch 12 can achieve independent resonance, the antenna of the present application is a dual-resonance antenna, and both the coupling patch 12 and the parasitic patch 13 work in the TM01 mode, which is a typical patch operation. model.
参见图4,图4为本申请实施例提供的天线的电场分布示意图。图4中箭头方向为电场线方向,填充越密集的区域表示该区域电场强度越小。由图4中可以看出,在馈线11和耦合贴片12之间的缝隙处,以及缝隙与寄生贴片13之间电场较强,寄生贴片13与地 板层30之间的电场、以及耦合贴片12与地板层30之间的电场可以等效为磁流,且磁流方向与馈线11的延伸方向X平行,从而实现水平极化。Referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of electric field distribution of an antenna provided by an embodiment of the present application. The direction of the arrow in FIG. 4 is the direction of the electric field line, and the denser the filling area, the smaller the electric field strength of the area. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that at the gap between the feeder 11 and the coupling patch 12, and between the gap and the parasitic patch 13, the electric field is strong, the electric field between the parasitic patch 13 and the floor layer 30, and the coupling The electric field between the patch 12 and the floor layer 30 can be equivalent to a magnetic current, and the direction of the magnetic current is parallel to the extension direction X of the feeder 11 , thereby realizing horizontal polarization.

Therefore, different coupling amounts are controlled by making the gap width between the coupling patch and the feed line inconsistent, so as to achieve a low sidelobe weighted design.
