Among them, planar printed antennas fed by microstrip lines and coplanar waveguides are favored for their advantages of convenient preparation, light weight, and miniaturization.
  • Adding a band-stop filter in a wireless communication system can realize the antenna notch function, that is, the antenna has a stop-band characteristic in a specific frequency band, thereby avoiding mutual interference with other wireless communication systems, but it undoubtedly makes the system very complicated.

Description

一种共面波导馈电的四陷波柔性可穿戴超宽带天线
本申请要求于2021年5月6日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202110491726.X、申请名称为一种共面波导馈电的四陷波柔性可穿戴超宽带天线的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请属于可穿戴天线领域,具体涉及一种共面波导馈电的四陷波柔性可穿戴超宽带天线。
背景技术
天线是发送和接收电磁波的设备,在无线通信系统中占据重要地位。自从赫兹和马可尼发明天线以来,其在人类生产生活中各个领域得到了广泛的应用。随着科研工作者对天线探索与研究,各种不同类型和特点的天线被投入不同的应用场景中。随着无线通信技术的迅速发展,以人体为中心的无线体域网成为了研究热点,无线体域网在运动、娱乐休闲、军事、医疗等领域发挥着重要作用。
在现有的短距离无线通信技术中,超宽带技术凭借其低功耗、高速率、抗干扰能力强等优点引发广泛关注,超宽带技术的优势能够很好的满足无线体域网小型化、高效率的要求,为了提高通信质量,研究设计一种可穿戴超宽带天线具有重要意义,同时为避免与现有无线通信系统的干扰,天线还应具备多陷波功能。
可穿戴天线需要附着在可穿戴设备或人体表面以满足无线通信的需求,因此需要具备柔性特点,方便与人体或设备共形且需要保证辐射对人体的安全性。最早的可穿戴天线是应用于军事的鞭状天线,虽然能够提高单兵作战能力,但不具备隐蔽性。随着天线馈电方式和制备工艺的发展,能够方便得制得具备小型化低剖面特性的天线。其中以微带线馈电和共面波导馈电的平面印刷天线因制备方便、轻量化、小型化等优势受到青睐。在无线通信系统中增加带阻滤波器能够实现天线陷波功能,即天线在特定频段具备阻带特性,从而避免了与其他无线通信系统之间相互干扰,但无疑使得系统非常复杂,而通过在平面印刷天线刻槽的方式实现陷波功能的方式则影响甚微。
目前国内对于可穿戴超宽带天线的研究主要问题在于,对于超宽带天线的设计主要采用FR4(玻璃纤维环氧树脂板)和RT5880微波介质板为基材,这类天线柔性差,不具备可穿戴性;可穿戴天线大多为单频或双频天线,对可穿戴超宽带天线的研究较少。王博宁通过在FPC-1基板上覆铜实现了一种柔性单极子天线(王博宁.可穿戴小型化时域超宽带天线研究与设计[D].成都:电子科技大学,2020.),其在超宽带频带内性能良好且实现了双陷波功能,但未验证比吸收率(Specific Absorption Rate,SAR)是否满足要求。许德成以织物为基体,用石墨烯与聚苯胺填充聚二甲基硅氧烷(Polydimethylsiloxane,PDMS)制备导电贴片和接地平面,设计了一款柔性可穿戴织物天线,但只工作在2.45GHz(许德成.面向穿戴式无线通信系统的柔性天线设计及实现方法研究[D].长春:吉林大学,2017.)。何大平教授课题组利用石墨烯组装薄膜作为导电材料在柔性基体上光刻,获 得了一种弯曲性能优越的柔性超宽带天线,但制备工艺比较复杂(Fang R,Song R,Zhao X,et al.Compact and Low-Profile UWB Antenna Based on Graphene-Assembled Films for Wearable Applications[J].Sensors,2020,20(9):2552.)。
目前国外对可穿戴超宽带天线的研究偏向于实现天线超宽带特性和陷波特性,主流基体采用的是FR4基板;柔性超宽带天线基体采用聚四氟乙烯(Teflon)、聚酰亚胺(Polyimide,PI)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(Polyethylene Terephthalate,PET)、PDMS等,导电材质多采用铜,通过在柔性基体表面采用FPCB技术制备天线。Lakrit S等设计了一种在聚四氟乙烯上印刷铜的三陷波柔性超宽带天线,但天线辐射全向性较差(Lakrit S,Das S,Ghosh S,et al.Compact UWB flexible elliptical CPW-fed antenna with triple notch bands for wireless communications[J].International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering,2020,30(7):22201.)。Veeraselvam A等以罗杰斯公司RO4003C柔性介质基板为基体,用光刻辐射贴片的方法制备了一种共面波导馈电柔性单极子天线,验证了其可穿戴性,但天线不具备陷波功能且加载金属反射板使得天线剖面较高(Veeraselvam A,Mohammed G N A,Savarimuthu K,et al.Polarization diversity enabled flexible directional UWB monopole antenna for WBAN communications[J].International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering,2020,30(9):22311.)。Hasan M R等利用DMP-2831材质喷墨打印机在PET基板上喷涂导电银颗粒的方法制备了一种柔性超宽带天线,但并未设计陷波结构且天线的可穿戴性未加以验证(Hasan M R,Riheen M A,Sekhar P,et  al.Compact CPW Fed Circular Patch Flexible Antenna for Super Wideband Applications[J].IET Microwaves,Antennas & Propagation,2020,14(10):1069-1073.)。
共面波导相对于微带线不仅具备低剖面、小型化、易于和微波系统集成的特点,且色散特性更好、损耗更小,同时由于接地平面和辐射贴片在同一侧,其制备更简便。因此,共面波导馈电更加适用于超宽带天线设计中,近年来被广泛采用。考虑到天线实际工作时很有可能与附近电磁波信号产生相互干扰,超宽带天线需要具备陷波功能,直接在天线上设计陷波结构能够极大减少无线通信系统的复杂度。ISM频段(2.45GHz)、WIMAX波段(3.3-3.8GHz)、WLAN波段(5.3-5.8GHz)、X下行波段(7.25-7.75GHz)、X上行波段(7.9-8.4GHz)是陷波设计的热点。
传统的铜箔虽然具备良好的导电性,但其柔性并不突出,有机硅导电银胶与固化剂按一定比例均匀搅拌,在室温或低温固化后具备成膜性好、粘接性强、良好的柔性和高导电性等特点,这为导电材质的选择提供了一种新的思路。随着金属纳米颗粒制备技术的逐渐成熟,将金属纳米颗粒制备成导电“墨水”利用打印机喷墨打印成为柔性电子领域的研究热点,Fujifilm Dimatix公司推出的DMP-2831材料喷印机采用MEMS及硅材质制作喷墨头,可支持多种材料喷印(如银墨水、透明导电性材料等),为打印柔性可穿戴电子产品提供新的途径,其相较于传统的光刻和雕刻法等不仅工艺简单且环保性好。

本申请的柔性可穿戴超宽带天线可通过层层组装工艺、喷墨打印工艺或柔性印刷电路板工艺进行加工。层层组装工艺是利用3D打印技术制备PDMS基体,采用导电银胶制备辐射贴片、馈线、接地平面,再组装天线结构;喷墨打印工艺是利用喷墨打印工艺直接在PET基体上打印天线图案;FPCB工艺是在PI薄膜上印刷铜制天线结构。三种方式皆具有制备流程简单、成本低、可实现产业化的优势。

在具体实施中,因辐射贴片3的尺寸过大会导致天线的辐射方向图产生畸变,因此辐射贴片3需要设置为较小的尺寸,而馈线连接部31的作用是在辐射贴片3底部的宽度不足时,加宽辐射贴片3底部的宽度,以确保主馈线22由分支点21至顶端的竖向长度与分支馈线23的竖向长度相等,在不影响天线敷设方向的前提下,增大垂直电流,降低高频处天线回波损耗。
接地平面4顶部对应分支馈线23的位置和形态相应开设槽口41,以提高天线阻抗匹配特性。
馈线2和辐射贴片3上设有谐振槽5,谐振槽5的数量对应天线需要实现的阻带特性的数量设置;谐振槽5的设计有两种形式,一种为谐振槽5的两端之间隔离有绝缘材质如空气,另一种为谐振槽5的两端之间以导电材料连通,后一种谐振槽5的总长度应当设置为前一种谐振槽5的两倍;另外,当设有多个谐振槽5时,应当注意在各谐振槽5之间留设足够的间距,以保证各谐振槽5之间不发生强烈耦合。
在具体实施中,辐射贴片3呈六边形,并于六边形水平设置的顶边位置朝下开设三角形的贴片开口32,在保证天线工作性能的前提下,减少了材料的用量,利于天线生产成本的控制。馈线连接部31相应设置为直角三角形。
分支馈线23呈L型,谐振槽5呈直角U型或带有开口的环形。将谐振槽5设置为U型或带有开口的环形可在保证谐振槽5总长度满足设计要求的同时,使天线的整体结构更为紧凑。
在具体实施中,柔性基体1、馈线2和接地平面4呈对称结构,可使天线在呈弯曲状态的工况下维持最稳定的工作性能。

馈线2一侧的接地平面4的Y向长度为9.8mm、X向长度为11.2mm,主馈线22与接地平面4之间的间隙的X向长度为0.3mm,槽口41的Y向长度为0.5mm,X向长度为2.8mm;
本实施例共开设四个谐振槽5,因此本实施例的天线能够相应实现四个阻带特性,四个谐振槽5的具体设置方式如下:
第一个谐振槽5设于主馈线22上,呈直角U型,开口位于顶部,其Y向长度为6.2mm、X向长度为2mm、槽宽0.3mm;

为体现本申请具备好的实施性和普适性,本实施例给出第二种实施方式。天线结构与实施例1只存在天线尺寸参数的调整,结构可参考图1。其中辐射贴片3、馈线2和接地平面4以导电银颗粒为材质,柔性基体1以PET为材质。
对本实施例的天线性能参数要求与实施例1相同,同样借助三维电磁仿真软件Ansoft HFSS对其进行建模和仿真,本实施方式中共面波段激励的波端口设置与图1类似,由于波端口尺寸与天线基体厚度、馈线与接地平面之间槽宽度、馈线宽度等有关,参数依照HFSS波端口设置建立做适当调整。
在完成本实施例共面波导馈电的四陷波柔性可穿戴带天线的建模和波端口激励设置后,对天线尺寸参数进行扫频分析,经优化后天线尺寸如图2(b)所示:

对优化后的模型进行仿真,包括开槽情况和未开槽情况,得到其S 11曲线如图3(b)所示。从图中可以看出未开槽的超宽带天线S 11参数在3-13.8GHZ均小于-10dB,天线的绝对阻抗带宽覆盖超宽带频带,相对阻抗带宽达到129%;开槽后的天线在3.4-3.7GHz、5.45-5.75GHz、7.3-7.7GHz、8-9GHz具有阻带特性,实现了四陷波功能,阻带谐振点分别用M1、M2、M3、M4标记。图4(b)、图5(b)、图6(b)分别是本实施例在4GHz、7GHz、10GHz处E面和H面的增益方向图,从图中可以看出,本实施例在超宽带频带内H面能够保持良好的全向辐射性,因此能够进行实际应用。如图7所示,本实施例天线效率基本在70%以上,性能良好。

与实施例1不同,本实施例采用喷墨打印工艺制备天线,流程如下:
PET柔性基体选用美国盖尔杜邦恩欣格产品,其相对介电常数ε r=4,损耗角tanδ=0.01。首先按照仿真的尺寸对PET进行裁剪,用超声波对裁剪得到的PET表面进行清理,目的是除去其表面杂质。然后进行表面等离子处理,提高PET基体表面的粗糙程度,使得后面喷涂的导电银墨水能够牢固附着在基体表面。
柔性PET基体处理完毕后利用喷墨打印工艺直接在PET基体表面打印辐射贴片、接地平面图案,打印机采用Fujifilm Dimatix公司的DMP-2831材料喷印机,导电银颗粒采用Fujifilm Dimatix公司的DGP40LT-20C或DGP40LT-15C产品,其含银量为30~35%。由于图案成型的效果会受到打 印层数、打印点间隔、烧结温度的影响,按照经验设置喷头步进间距为15μm以获得良好的导电效果,打印层数为2~3层以获得厚度约300μm的导电介质。图案打印完成后将PET柔性基体水平置于150℃恒温箱并保持10分钟以烧结固化银纳米颗粒。天线制备完成后,用YC-01环氧型导电银胶粘接SMA接口,粘接方法和实施例1相同。

对本实施例的天线性能参数要求与实施例1、实施例2相同,同样借助三维电磁仿真软件Ansoft HFSS对其进行建模和仿真,波端口尺寸也依照HFSS波端口设置做适当调整。
在完成本实施例共面波导馈电的四陷波柔性可穿戴带天线的建模和波端口激励设置后,对天线尺寸参数进行扫频分析,经优化后天线尺寸如图2(c)所示:
柔性基体1的Y向长度为28mm、X向长度为26mm、Z向厚度为0.05mm;
主馈线22的Y向长度为12mm、X向长度为3mm,分支点21距主馈线顶端的Y向长度为1.1mm,分支馈线23呈L型,分支馈线23的Y向长度为1.1mm、Y向长度为3mm,分支馈线23的宽度为0.5mm;
辐射贴片3呈正六边形,边长为8.5mm,贴片开口32呈等腰三角形,其底边与正六边形的顶边重合,高沿Y向,长度为5mm;馈线连接部31呈直角三角形,其两个直角边分别沿Y和X向设置,长度分别为3.03mm 和2mm,两个馈线连接部31的底部均与正六边形的底边平齐,两个馈线连接部31的斜边分别贴合正六边形下部的两侧边设置;

本实施例共开设四个谐振槽5,因此本实施例的天线能够相应实现四个阻带特性,四个谐振槽5的具体设置方式如下:
第一个谐振槽5设于主馈线22上,呈直角U型,开口位于顶部,其Y向长度为7.1mm、X向长度为2mm、槽宽0.3mm;
第二个和第三个谐振槽5位于辐射贴片3中部,呈两个同心设置的带有开口的环形,两个环形的开口位于同侧;其中,较大的一个谐振槽5的外径为4.1mm、内径为3.6mm、开口长0.7mm,较小的一个谐振槽5的外径为3.2mm、内径为2.7mm、开口长0.9mm;
第四个谐振槽5位于辐射贴片3顶部,呈直角U型,开口位于顶部,其两侧顶端中的任一于空气连通,另一不与空气连通;第四个谐振槽5连通空气的一侧Y向长度为5.6mm、不连通空气的一侧Y向长度为5mm、X向长度为8.5mm、槽宽0.3mm。
对优化后的模型进行仿真,包括开槽情况和未开槽情况,得到其S11曲线如图3(c)所示。从图中可以看出未开槽的超宽带天线S11参数在2.9-14.6GHz均小于-10dB,天线的绝对阻抗带宽覆盖超宽带频带,相对阻抗带宽达到134%;开槽后的天线在3.4-3.7GHz、5.45-5.75GHz、7.3-7.7GHz、8-9.3GHz具有阻带特性,实现了四陷波功能,阻带谐振点分别用 M1、M2、M3、M4标记。图4(c)、图5(c)、图6(c)分别是本实施例在4GHz、7GHz、10GHz处E面和H面的增益方向图,从图中可以看出,本实施例在超宽带频带内H面能够保持良好的全向辐射性,因此能够进行实际应用。如图7所示,本实施例天线效率基本在80%以上,性能良好。
为了验证天线具备良好的共形性,在HFSS中分别建立沿X轴和Y轴方向的弯曲模型与实施例1相似,示意图如图8所示,X轴弯曲半径设置为80mm,Y轴弯曲半径设置为20mm。图12是本实施例在沿X轴弯曲、沿Y轴弯曲和不弯曲时的S11曲线,从图中可以看出天线沿Y轴弯曲时陷波频点发生了200MHz的平移,不影响陷波功能;沿X轴弯曲时,弯曲半径80mm时陷波频点已发生大幅平移,无法实现陷波功能,因此本实施例在X轴方向弯曲时性能会受到影响。
为了验证天线在进行UWB通信时辐射满足要求,与实施例1相似,在HFSS建立如图10所示的三层人体组织模型,h是天线与模型的距离,输入功率设置为1mW,电磁参数设置参照表1。表4是分别在4GHz、7GHz、10GHz时1g人体组织模型最大平均SAR值的仿真结果,从表4可以看出天线工作在UWB通信模式完全能够满足业界制定的1g组织小于1.6W/kg的辐射安全标准。

为说明本实施方式的实用性,本实施例给出了如下制备流程:
由于本申请采用共面波导馈电方式,可采用FPCB普通单面板工艺流程进行制备。首先选取厚度为0.05mm的PI薄膜(ε r=3.4,tanδ=0.001),将材料裁剪成基体尺寸大小,利用等离子设备对柔性基板表面进行清理,目的是增加PI薄膜表面的粗糙程度,使得后续镀铜能够牢固附着在基体表面。
柔性基体预处理完成后,利用电化学反应在柔性基体表面镀铜。镀铜后通过化学清洗除去铜表面氧化杂质同时增加贴膜的结合力,清洗完成后在铜箔表面均匀贴覆干膜。利用干膜的光感应特性将所需的天线图案映到铜箔上,而后进行显影操作,即用一定浓度的碳酸钠或碳酸钾药水把未感光的区域干膜冲洗掉。利用腐蚀技术将显影后的板子多余部分腐蚀掉,即可得到本实施例共面波导馈电的四陷波柔性可穿戴超宽带天线的半成品,最后利用强碱将图案表面残留的干膜溶解。天线制备完成后,将SMA接头焊接至天线底端(信号端与馈线焊接,接地端与接地平面焊接)。
如上述实施例1、实施例2、实施例3所示,本申请提供的三种实施方式均能够实现天线的设计要求,通过在柔性PDMS基体上粘接导电银胶、在PET基体表面打印导电银颗粒、在PI基体表面印刷铜箔使得本申请所得天线具备全柔性、共形性强、可穿戴性强的优势,同时本申请设计的天线结构具有四陷波功能和超宽带特性,且UWB通信时SAR值满足辐射标准。由此,实现了超宽带天线的可穿戴性,满足工程应用要求。
以上仅为本申请的示例性实施例而已,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内所做的任何修改,等同替换和改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
