技术领域
本申请涉及天线技术领域,特别涉及一种天线结构件、天线和基站。
背景技术
在天线系统中,辐射单元可能会被周围的金属部件遮挡,电磁波传播至这些金属部件时会在该金属部件的表面产生散射,无法完全传播至该金属部件的后方,使得该金属部件的后方产生电磁阴影。对于天线的信号接收过程,电磁阴影会导致位于该金属部件后方的天线装置的接收信号质量劣化;对于天线的信号辐射过程,电磁阴影会影响位于金属部件后方的终端的通信质量。
发明内容
本申请提供一种天线结构件、天线和基站,能够改善由于金属部件遮挡导致的电磁阴影问题。
第一方面,本申请的方案提供了一种天线结构件,用于基站天线系统中。天线结构件包括导电基体和至少两个结构单元;至少两个结构单元中的每个结构单元均环绕导电基体一周,每个结构单元均与导电基体间隔设置,至少两个结构单元包括相邻的第一结构单元与第二结构单元,第一结构单元与第二结构单元间隔排布并形成第一电容,第一电容的不同部分的电容值不同。
本方案中,天线结构件是会对辐射单元造成物理遮挡的部件。天线结构件中的导电基体具有导电性能,导电基体至少包含导电部分,例如导电基体的全部区域均是导体,或者导电基体包括导体部分与绝缘部分。导电基体包括但不限于抱杆、抱杆支架、馈电网络、传动机构、支撑结构等金属件。导电基体会对电磁波产生遮挡。结构单元是设于导电基体外侧并环绕导电基体一周的导电结构,结构单元可以是薄层。结构单元与导电基体之间可以是隔开的,二者可以不直接相连,这样使得二者之间可以是电隔绝的。第一结构单元与第二结构单元相邻,第一结构单元与第二结构单元之间可以形成缝隙,缝隙可以环绕导电基体一周。第一结构单元、缝隙和第二结构单元实质上可以形成第一电容,第一结构单元与第二结构单元均可作为第一电容的极板。第一电容的不同部分(对应着缝隙的不同区域)的电容值不同,也即某些部分的电容较大,另一部分的电容值较小。在所有结构单元中,可以形成至少一个第一电容。
本方案中,天线结构件可以设在波源附近。波源发出的电磁波传播至天线结构件时,将会被约束在第一电容内沿缝隙传播,并从缝隙中的一定位置射出。这样使得电磁波能够绕着天线结构件进行传播,因此即使天线结构件对波源存在遮挡,但是由于存在第一电容,使得电磁波能够绕过天线结构件传播至天线结构件的后方。所以,本方案通过在导电基体的外周设置至少两个结构单元,并形成第一电容,使得导电基体相对电磁波具有电磁隐身性能,从而减少或者避免了导电基体对电磁波的遮挡导致的电磁阴影。并且,由于第一电容的不同区域的电容值不同,使得不同频段的电磁波信号均能够以各自的电长度在缝隙内发生谐振,从而使得不同频段的电磁波均能通过缝隙。因此,通过使第一电容的不同区域的电容值不同,使缝隙能够允许多种频段的电磁波通过,从而拓展了隐身带宽。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第一电容包括第一部分、第二部分、第三部分与第四部分,第一部分、第二部分、第三部分与第四部分依次首尾相连,第一部分的电容值与第三部分的电容值相等,第二部分的电容值与第四部分的电容值相等,且第一部分的电容值与第二部分的电容值不同。
本方案中,可以从第一电容中划分出上述四个区域,这四个区域首尾相连围成一周,并使整个第一电容的电容值形成大电容-小电容-大电容-小电容的分布样式。其中,电容值较大的区域可以相当于贴片天线,电容值较小的区域可以相当于缝隙传输线(slotline)。波源可以靠近电容值较大的区域,波源发出的电磁波可以从其中一个电容值较大的区域进入缝隙,并分为两路:其中一路被约束在其中一个电容值较小的区域内传输,并从另一个电容值较大的区域射出;另外一路被约束在另一个电容值较小的区域内传输,并与前一路电磁波一样从该另一个电容值较大的区域射出。本方案通过上述设计,能够使电磁波按照设计需求绕射,不仅能实现电磁隐身,而且能使电磁波的传播特性满足天线需求。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第一部分与第三部分呈中心对称分布,第二部分与第四部分呈中心对称分布。
本方案中,中心对称指二者的结构一致,且其中一个绕对称中心旋转180度后与另一个重合。通过中心对称设计,使得电磁波在出入缝隙时的传播特性(例如传播方向、极化特性、频段等)保持一致,从而满足天线需求。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第一结构单元和第二结构单元之间存在缝隙,第一电容的不同部分的缝隙的宽度不同。
本方案中,第一电容的电容值C满足电容公式:C=εS/d,ε为极板间介质的介电常数,S为极板面积(即第一结构单元与第二结构单元的正对面积),d为极板间的距离(也即缝隙宽度)。本方案通过对第一电容的不同部分设置不同的缝隙宽度,最终使得第一电容的不同部分的电容值不同,从而实现拓展隐身带宽的目的。可以理解的是,本方案至少设置了缝隙宽度,当然还可以同时设置缝隙宽度d,以及设置介电常数ε与极板面积S中的至少一个,从而实现第一电容的不同部分的电容值不同的目的。本方案设计简单,量产性较好。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第一电容包括相连的第一部分与第二部分;第一部分的缝隙与第二部分的缝隙均具有同一宽度,且第一部分的缝隙的宽度小于第二部分的缝隙的宽度,第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值;或者,第一部分的缝隙与第二部分的缝隙中的一个具有同一宽度,另一个具有可变宽度,第一部分的缝隙的最大宽度小于或者等于第二部分的缝隙的最小宽度,第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值。
本方案的一种实现方式中,同一宽度可以指缝隙是均匀宽度的缝隙,缝隙的两边基本平行,缝隙各处的缝隙宽度可以一致。可变宽度可以指缝隙是非均匀宽度的缝隙,缝隙的两边不平行,缝隙各处的缝隙宽度不一致。
对于本方案的第一种实现方式,可以通过使第一部分的缝隙宽度小于第二部分的缝隙宽度,且使第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值,从而便于实现拓展隐身带宽的目的。
对于本方案的第二种实现方式,不论第一部分的缝隙(或者第二部分的缝隙)具有同一宽度还是可变宽度,使得第一部分的缝隙的最大宽度(当第一部分的缝隙具有同一宽度时,最大宽度就是缝隙任意位置的宽度;当第一部分的缝隙具有可变宽度时,最大宽度为缝隙最宽处的宽度)小于或者等于第二部分的缝隙的最小宽度(当第二部分的缝隙具有同一宽度时,最小宽度就是缝隙任意位置的宽度;当第二部分的缝隙具有可变宽度时,最大宽度为缝隙最窄处的宽度),就能使第一部分的缝隙整体上比第二部分的缝隙窄。同时,使第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值,从而便于实现拓展隐身带宽的目的。
本方案通过对第一电容的缝隙进行上述设计,能够实现良好的电磁隐身以及拓展隐身带宽的效果。并且,本方案的设计较为简单,量产性较好。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第一结构单元和第二结构单元之间存在缝隙;第一电容包括相连的第一部分与第二部分,第一部分的缝隙由至少两段子缝隙依次弯折连接而成,第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值。
本方案中,第一部分的缝隙由至少两段子缝隙依次弯折连接而成,也即若干段子缝隙依次连接,且每相邻的两段子缝隙形成弯折角。子缝隙之间的弯折角度可以根据需要设计,例如可以为90°,由此形成的缝隙可以形成类似方波的形状。或者相邻子缝隙的弯折角可以不限于90°,以使缝隙形成其他形状,例如曲线形状(如正弦曲线、抛物线等)。
本方案中,通过将第一部分的缝隙设计成上述形状,便于增加缝隙的总长度。根据电容公式C=εS/d,缝隙的总长度增加,则S增大,可以使得电容值C增大,从而实现使第一部分的电容值较大的目的。本方案可以应用在如下的场景中:当出于制造工艺的限制,无法制造出缝隙宽度小于阈值的第一部分时,可以考虑将第一部分设计成上述的形状,通过增加缝隙长度来弥补缝隙宽度无法做小的工艺限制,最终使得第一部分具有较大的电容值。所以,本方案能够与已有制造工艺匹配,量产性较好。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第二部分的缝隙具有同一宽度;第一部分的每段子缝隙均具有同一宽度,所有子缝隙的宽度一致,且子缝隙的宽度小于或等于第二部分的缝隙的宽度。
本方案中,子缝隙的宽度即第一部分的缝隙的宽度。通过使第一部分的缝隙宽度d1小于或等于第二部分的缝隙宽度d2,且第一部分的极板面积S1大于第二部分的极板面积S2,从而使S1/d1>S2/d2。根据电容公式C=εS/d可知,第一部分的电容值C1>第二部分的电容值C2。因此,本方案通过综合配置第一电容的不同区域的缝隙长度与缝隙宽度,使得第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值,以便实现拓展隐 身带宽的目的。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第一电容包括相连的第一部分与第二部分,第一部分内填充有第一绝缘介质,第二部分内填充有第二绝缘介质,第一绝缘介质的介电常数大于第二绝缘介质的介电常数,第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值。
本方案中,第一绝缘介质可以充满第一部分的缝隙,第二绝缘介质可以充满第二部分的缝隙。通过使第一绝缘介质的介电常数大于第二绝缘介质的介电常数,便于调整电容公式C=εS/d中的ε参量,以便实现第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值的目的,进而拓展隐身带宽。同时,所填充的绝缘介质不会影响电磁波的传输,保证电磁波能够绕射天线结构件,从而保证电磁隐身效果。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第一电容包括相连的第一部分与第二部分;天线结构件包括第二电容,第二电容设于第一部分,第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值。
本方案中,与第一电容不同(第一电容等同于平板电容),第二电容是独立的电容器件(可以具有引脚)。第二电容可以设在第一部分的缝隙内。第一部分的总电容值为按照电容公式计算出的第一部分的电容值加上第二电容的电容值。本方案通过在第一部分内叠加第二电容,使得第一部分的电容值较大,从而拓展隐身带宽。本方案设计简单,量产性较好。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,天线结构件包括第三电容,第三电容设于第二部分,第三电容的电容值小于第二电容的电容值。
本方案中,第三电容也是独立的电容器件(可以具有引脚),第三电容可以设在第二部分的缝隙内。第二部分的总电容值为按照电容公式计算出的第二部分的电容值加上第三电容的电容值。本方案通过在第一部分内叠加第二电容,且在第二部分内叠加第三电容,使得第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值,从而拓展隐身带宽。本方案设计简单,量产性较好。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,第二电容和/或第三电容的电容值可调。
本方案中,电容值可调指的是电容器件能在信号控制下改变电容值,这样的电容器件例如可以是变容管。通过此种电容值可调的设计,可以根据波源的扫描角度变化,适应性地调整缝隙内相应区域的电容器件的电容,进而调整该区域的电容值大小,确保天线结构件对波源的电磁隐身效果。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,至少一个结构单元设有耦合缝隙,结构单元分别位于耦合缝隙两侧的部分被耦合缝隙断开,并通过耦合缝隙耦合。
本方案中,结构单元可以不是一体式结构,而是开设有耦合缝隙,耦合缝隙将结构单元完全断开为不同的区域。耦合缝隙可以有至少一条。结构单元中位于耦合缝隙两侧的部分通过耦合缝隙耦合,当电磁波传播至结构单元时,电磁波可以“跨过”耦合缝隙。具有耦合缝隙结构单元的数量为至少一个,例如上述的第一结构单元与第二结构单元具有耦合缝隙。
本方案中,在结构单元中形成耦合缝隙,便于将结构单元的不同部分依次装配到导电基体上,最后拼成完整的结构单元,这样能够在一些场景下实现结构单元的可靠组装。尤其是在导电基体的尺寸较大、结构单元的数量较多时,分体组装的方式能够简化组装工艺,提高组装良率。另外,耦合缝隙能够允许某些频段的电磁波通过,使得天线结构件具有一定的拓展隐身带宽作用。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,天线结构件包括电感元件,至少两个结构单元中的结构单元通过电感元件与导电基体连接。
本方案中,电感元件可以是导电的机械部件,例如金属柱。或者,电感元件可以是属于电子元件的电感(可以带引脚)。电感元件连接结构单元与导电基体。可以是每个结构单元均通过至少一个电感元件与导电基体连接,也可以是只有其中一部分结构单元通过电感元件与导电基体连接。
本方案中,结构单元与导电基体之间可以形成电容(例如称为平板电容),该平板电容可以影响绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段。出于产品需要(例如减小体积的需要),可能希望减小结构单元与导电基体的间隔。但是间隔减小可能导致绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段提高,改变电磁波的传播特性。有鉴于此,本方案通过设置电感元件,电感元件可与上述的平板电容构成并联谐振电路,该并联谐振电路能使绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段降低。因此,设置电感元件与减小结构单元与导电基体的间隔对频段的影响可以相互抵消,使得绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段保持不变,从而保持电磁波的传播特性。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,至少一个结构单元镂空。
本方案中,镂空指将结构单元的局部区域挖空以形成孔洞。至少一个结构单元可做此种镂空设计。镂空设计能够减轻重量,有利于减小天线结构件的重量。特别是当结构单元为较重的金属件时,开设镂空区能极大减重。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,至少两个结构单元的结构相同,且任意相邻的两个结构单元之间存在缝隙且形状相同,任意两个相邻的结构单元之间均形成第一电容。
本方案中,所有结构单元的结构均一致。任意两个结构单元之间存在缝隙,且各个缝隙的形状相同。由此,任意两个相邻的结构单元之间均形成第一电容。本方案使得天线结构件上形成多个第一电容,使得电磁波能在天线结构件的各个区域进行绕射,使得整个天线结构件能相对电磁波隐身,避免了电磁阴影。本方案中,所有结构单元可以构成周期性隐身结构层,该周期性隐身结构层容易制造,量产性好。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,至少两个结构单元的结构不全相同,和/或,至少两个结构单元之间存在缝隙且形状不全相同;任意两个相邻的结构单元之间均形成第一电容。
本方案中,不全相同指任意两个都不同;或者,至少有两个相同,但不是所有都相同。本方案中,相较上述的周期性隐身结构层,所有结构单元可以构成准周期性隐身结构层。准周期性隐身结构层能够与导电基体的外形结构适配。例如,若导电基体的外表面某处具有凸起,则隐身结构层在该处可以避让该凸起,以形成准周期性结构。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,每个结构单元包括导体层与绝缘层,绝缘层位于导体层与导电基体之间;或者,每个结构单元为导体。
本方案中,结构单元中的导体层与绝缘层层叠设置,绝缘层靠近导电基体,导体层背离导电基体。导体层由导体材料制造,绝缘层由绝缘材料制造。导体层可以较薄,结构强度较弱,导体层依附在绝缘层上,绝缘层能对导体层进行支撑和加强。此种结构的结构单元能满足产品需要,量产性好。
在第一方面的一种实现方式中,基站天线系统包括抱杆、抱杆支架与馈电网络,导电基体包括抱杆、抱杆支架及馈电网络中的至少一个。
本方案中,天线结构件可以应用于基站天线系统(或称基站)。基站天线系统包括安装在天线罩内的辐射单元与馈电网络,天线罩通过抱杆支架固定在抱杆上。通过在抱杆、抱杆支架及馈电网络中的至少一个上设置隐身结构层,也即使得抱杆、抱杆支架及馈电网络中的至少一个及其上的结构单元构成天线结构件,能够减小或避免抱杆、抱杆支架及馈电网络对电磁波的遮挡,并拓展隐身带宽。
第二方面,本申请的技术方案提供了一种天线,包括辐射单元和上述任一项的天线结构件。
本方案中,辐射单元靠近天线结构件。通过设置天线结构件,使得辐射单元所收发的电磁波能够绕过天线结构件传播,从而改善了电磁阴影问题。
第三方面,本申请的技术方案提供了一种基站,包括抱杆和第一天线,第一天线固定于抱杆,第一天线为上文的天线。
本方案中,通过在第一天线中设置天线结构件,使得第一天线的辐射单元所收发的电磁波能够绕过天线结构件传播,从而改善了电磁阴影问题。
在第三方面的一种实现方式中,基站包括第二天线与频率选择表面,频率选择表面位于第一天线的辐射单元与第二天线的辐射单元之间,频率选择表面用于反射第一天线的辐射信号,并透过第二天线的辐射信号。
本方案中,第二天线的工作频段可与第一天线的工作频段不同。第二天线的辐射单元与第一天线的辐射单元可以分别在不同的天线罩内,两个天线罩可固定在同一个抱杆上。这样使得两个天线可以单独部署,实现了不同频段天线的解耦设计与灵活部署。或者,第二天线的辐射单元与第一天线的辐射单元也可以同一个天线罩内。
本方案中,频率选择表面是一种包括若干个单元的二维结构,所有单元可以相同并按照一定方式排列而成,或者所有单元不全相同并按照一定方式排列而成。频率选择表面可以是单层结构,也可以多层结构。频率选择表面具有特定的频率选择作用,其可以对谐振情况下的一种频段的入射波呈现出透射性,对谐振情况下的另一种频段的入射波呈现出反射性,从而可以有效控制入射电磁波的透射和反射。频率选择表面例如可以是空间滤波器,与电磁波相互作用表现出明显的带通或带阻的滤波特性。多层的频率选择表面可以用做多阶空间滤波器,能够拓展带宽,并增加频率选择性。本方案中,频率选择表面能够反射第一天线的辐射单元的大部分电磁波,因而频率选择表面可以作为第一天线的辐射单元的反射板。频率选择表面还能够使第二天线的辐射单元的电磁波透过,因此频率选择表面对于第二天线的辐射单元而言并不会造成遮挡,频率选择表面对第二天线的辐射单元的电磁波而言相当于是电磁透明的。
本方案中,第一天线的辐射单元与第二天线的辐射单元分别位于频率选择表面的两侧,使得第一天线与第二天线为层叠布置。层叠布置能够在有限的天线口面口径下部署更多频段和通道的天线,满足通信要求。
本方案中,通过在第一天线中设置天线结构件,使得第二天线辐射的电磁波将会绕过天线结构件继续传播,或者电磁波将会绕过天线结构件而被第二天线接收到,从而改善了电磁阴影问题。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。
本申请实施例中,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”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本申请实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
本申请实施例中,“上”、“下”等方位术语是相对于附图中的结构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,其可以根据结构所放置的方位的变化而相应地发生变化。
本申请实施例中,除非另有说明,“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系。例如A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。
本申请实施例提供了一种天线系统,该天线系统可以应用于任意能够辐射与接收天线信号的设备或系统。例如,该天线系统可以应用于舰船上的雷达系统中。或者,该天线系统可以是基站,该天线系统例如可以包括基站的基站天馈系统。下文先介绍基站,再以天线系统包括基站天馈系统为例进行说明。
图1示意出了基站与终端进行无线通信的应用场景。如图1所示,基站用于进行无线信号的小区覆盖以实现终端设备与无线网络之间的通信。具体来说,基站可以是全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile comunication,GSM)或码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)系统中的基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统中的节点B(NodeB,NB),还可以是长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中的演进型节点B(evolutional NodeB,eNB),还可以是云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network,CRAN)场景下的无线控制器。或者基站也可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及新无线(new radio,NR)系统中的g节点(gNodeB或者gNB)或者未来演进的网络中的基站等,本申请实施例并不限定。
基站配备有天线来实现信号在空间中的传输。图2展示了如图1所示的基站(或称基站天线系统,也即图2中的天线系统1)所配备的天线的一种应用场景示意图。如图2所示,天线系统1可以包括抱杆11、抱杆支架12、天线罩13、天线阵列14、射频处理单元15、线缆16和基带处理单元17。其中,抱杆支架12、天线罩13、天线阵列14可以合称天线,该天线还可以包括下文将要描述的馈电网络与反射板等。
其中,抱杆11可以固定至地面。抱杆支架12连接抱杆11与天线罩13,天线罩13通过抱杆支架12固定至抱杆11。天线阵列14可以安装在天线罩13内。天线罩13内还可以安装馈电网络。天线罩11具有良好的电磁波穿透特性和环境耐候性,能够对安装于其内的部件进行防护。
天线阵列14用于辐射和接收天线信号。天线阵列14可以包括若干个按照一定规律阵列排布的辐射单元,每个辐射单元均能辐射与接收电磁波。该辐射单元也可以包括天线振子。在天线阵列14中,不同辐射单元的工作频段可以相同或者不同。
在一些实施例中,天线还可以包括反射板,反射板也可以称为底板、天线面板或者反射面等,反射板例如可以采用金属材料制造。辐射单元可以安装在反射板一侧的表面上。辐射单元接收天线信号时,反射板可以把天线信号反射聚集在接收点上,从而实现定向接收;辐射单元发射天线信号时,反射板可以实现天线信号的定向发射。反射板可以增强辐射单元的天线信号的接收或发射能力,还能够阻挡、屏蔽来自反射板背面(该背面是指反射板上的背向辐射单元的一侧)的其它信号对天线信号的干扰作用,提升天线的增益。
射频处理单元15(又可称为射频拉远单元(remote radio unit,RRU))可通过跳线连接馈电网络,并通过馈电网络与天线阵列14电连接,馈电网络(下文将继续说明)可以作为射频处理单元15与天线阵列14之间的信号传输通路。射频处理单元15可以通过线缆16(例如光缆)与基带处理单元17(也可以称为基带单元(baseband unit,BBU))电连接。如图2所示,射频处理单元15和基带处理单元17可以均位于天线罩13外,射频处理单元15可以位于天线的近端。
射频处理单元15可对天线阵列14接收到的天线信号进行选频、放大以及下变频处理,并将其转换成中频信号或基带信号发送给基带处理单元17。射频处理单元15还可以将基带处理单元17或中频信号经过上变频以及放大处理通过天线阵列14转换成电磁波发送出去。
图3可以表示图2中的天线系统1的部分内部框架结构。如图3所示,天线系统1的天线阵列14与馈电网络18相连。馈电网络18可以通过传动机构实现不同辐射波束指向,或者与校准网络连接以获取天线系统1所需的校准信号。馈电网络18可将信号按照一定的幅度、相位馈送到天线阵列14,或者将接收到的信号按照一定的幅度、相位发送到基带处理单元17。
示意性的,馈电网络18可以包括移相器181,移相器181用于改变天线信号辐射的最大方向。馈电网络18还可以包括用于扩展性能的模块,例如功分器182。功分器182用于将多路信号合路为一路信号,通过天线阵列14发射;或者,功分器182将一路信号分为多路信号,例如将天线阵列14接收到的信号根据 不同的频率分成多路传输到基带处理单元17进行处理。馈电网络18还可以包括滤波器183,用于滤除干扰信号。
图2-图3所示的天线系统1的结构仅仅是一种举例,实际上本申请实施例中的天线系统的结构可以根据产品需求灵活地设计,并不限于上文所述。例如,天线系统也可以没有抱杆11,天线罩13可以通过抱杆支架12固定至铁塔。
在天线系统中,天线装置可能会被周围的导体部件(该导体部件至少包含导电部分,例如该导体部件的全部区域均是导体,或者该导体部件包括导体部分与绝缘部分。下文将该导体部件称之为导电基体)遮挡,电磁波传播至这些导体部件时会在该导体部件的表面产生散射,无法完全传播至该导体部件的后方,使得该导体部件的后方产生电磁阴影。对于天线装置的信号接收过程,电磁阴影会导致位于该导体部件后方的天线装置的接收信号质量劣化;对于天线装置的信号辐射过程,电磁阴影会影响位于导体部件后方的终端的通信质量。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例的天线系统对天线装置周围的导体部件做了“电磁隐身”设计,使得电磁波能够绕过该导体部件继续传播,减少或者消除了电磁阴影。下面将详细说明。
图4示意出了一种实施例中的天线系统2的局部内部框架结构,天线系统2具有上述的电磁隐身设计。
如图4所示,天线系统2可以包括第一天线与第二天线。第一天线可以包括第一天线罩21、第一辐射单元22、频率选择表面23、天线结构件24。第二天线可以包括第二天线罩25以及第二辐射单元26。
其中,第一天线罩21与第二天线罩25分别是两个独立的天线罩,二者可以固定于同一个抱杆或者铁塔。第一辐射单元22、频率选择表面(frequency selective surface,FSS)23及天线结构件24均可以位于第一天线罩21内,第二辐射单元26可以位于第二天线罩25内。
如图4所示,示意性的,第一辐射单元22可以包括第三辐射单元221与第四辐射单元222,第三辐射单元221与第四辐射单元222均可以为若干个,第三辐射单元221与第四辐射单元222的工作频段可以不同,例如第三辐射单元221的工作频段可以为690MHz-960MHz,第四辐射单元222的工作频段可以为1427MHz-2690MHz。第三辐射单元221与第四辐射单元222均可以与各自馈电网络连接。示意性的,第二辐射单元26的工作频段可以为3.3GHz-3.8GHz。可以理解的是,第二天线罩25内还可以设置其他部件,例如与第二辐射单元26连接的馈电网络等。
本实施例中,第一辐射单元22与第二辐射单元26分别设在不同的天线罩内,这样使得两个天线可以分别单独部署,实现了不同频段天线的解耦设计与灵活部署。可以理解的是,此种方案仅仅是一种示例。在其他实施例中,第一辐射单元22与第二辐射单元26也可以同一个天线罩内。
如图4所示,频率选择表面23与第一辐射单元22均可以位于第一天线罩21内,频率选择表面23可以位于第一辐射单元22与第二辐射单元26之间。由此,第一辐射单元22与第二辐射单元26可以称为是层叠布置的。层叠布置能够在有限的天线口面口径下部署更多频段和通道的天线,满足通信要求。
频率选择表面23是一种包括若干个单元的二维结构,所有单元可以相同并按照一定方式排列而成(此种频率选择表面23可以称为是一种周期阵列结构),或者所有单元不全相同(任意两个单元均不同;或者存在至少两个相同的单元,但不是所有单元都一样)并按照一定方式排列而成(此种频率选择表面23可以称为是一种准周期阵列结构)。频率选择表面23可以是单层结构,也可以多层结构。示意性的,图3中的频率选择表面23可以是两层结构。当为多层结构时,频率选择表面23的各层之间可通过绝缘材料或者空气隔开。
频率选择表面23具有特定的频率选择作用,其可以对谐振情况下的一种频段的入射波呈现出透射性,对谐振情况下的另一种频段的入射波呈现出反射性,从而可以有效控制入射电磁波的透射和反射。频率选择表面23例如可以是空间滤波器,与电磁波相互作用表现出明显的带通或带阻的滤波特性。多层的频率选择表面23可以用做多阶空间滤波器,能够拓展带宽,并增加频率选择性。
本实施例中,频率选择表面23能够反射第三辐射单元221与第四辐射单元222辐射的大部分电磁波,因而频率选择表面23可以作为第三辐射单元221与第四辐射单元222的反射板。频率选择表面23还能够使第二辐射单元26辐射的电磁波透过,因此频率选择表面23对于第二辐射单元26而言并不会造成遮挡,频率选择表面23对第二辐射单元26辐射的电磁波而言相当于是电磁透明的。
如图4所示,天线结构件24可以位于第一辐射单元22与第二辐射单元26之间。天线结构件24可以是具有电磁隐身设计的馈电网络,例如为具有电磁隐身设计的移相器。
如图4所示,示意性的,天线结构件24可以包括移相器242以及覆盖移相器242的外表面的隐身结构层241。其中,移相器242可与第三辐射单元221及第四辐射单元222连接。移相器242具有金属外壳, 可将移相器242称为导电基体。位于第一辐射单元22与第二辐射单元26之间的移相器242可能对第二辐射单元26的信号产生遮挡。隐身结构层241可以覆盖移相器242的局部外表面或者全部外表面。隐身结构层241能够使得电磁波绕过移相器242继续传播,减少或者消除电磁阴影,从而保证第二辐射单元26的收发性能。隐身结构层241的具体结构及工作原理将在下文详细说明。
上述实施例中的天线结构件24是具有电磁隐身设计的馈电网络,这仅仅是一种举例。实际上,天线系统2中任意可能遮挡第二辐射单元26的信号的导电基体的外表面均可以设置该隐身结构层,以形成天线结构件。
下面将借助图2,继续列举几种天线系统中的天线结构件。
参考图2所示,抱杆11可能会对天线罩13内的天线阵列14的信号产生遮挡,可以在抱杆11的外表面覆盖隐身结构层,该隐身结构层的具体分布可以根据需要确定。例如,可以根据天线阵列14的扫描范围,将该隐身结构层覆盖在抱杆11的外表面的相应局部区域;或者,该隐身结构层可以覆盖抱杆11的全部外表面。本方案中,抱杆11作为导电基体,抱杆11与该隐身结构层可以构成一种天线结构件。
同理,可以将抱杆支架12作为导电基体,抱杆支架12与其上的隐身结构层可以构成另一种天线结构件。
或者,天线系统1中的其他金属件(如传动机构、支撑结构等)也可以作为导电基体,这些金属件与其上的隐身结构层可以构成另一种天线结构件。
下文将详细说明本申请实施例的天线结构件的电磁隐身设计。可以理解的是,下文所述的天线结构件可以应用于任意的天线系统中,例如图2所示的天线系统1与图4所示的天线系统2。
图5示意出了一种实施例中的天线结构件3的原理性立体结构,图6示意出了图5的天线结构件3的原理性侧视结构。如图5与图6所示,天线结构件3可以包括导电基体31与至少两个结构单元32。
示意性的,导电基体31可以大致呈圆柱状,其轴向长度例如至少为1*λ(λ为导电基体31所遮挡的天线装置的最低频段对应的波长)。可以理解的是,大致呈圆柱状的导电基体31仅仅是一种举例,本申请实施例并不限定导电基体的实际形状与构造。例如,导电基体的横截面外形包括不限于四边形、圆形、椭圆、六边形等。
图5示意性的画出了五个结构单元32。结构单元32的结构可以根据需要设计,例如可以为片状、环状等。所有结构单元32可以合称隐身结构层。
如图5所示,所有结构单元32均位于导电基体31的外侧。图5所示的实施方式中,这些结构单元32可以仅环绕导电基体31的外周面(该外周面是环绕导电基体31的轴线的表面)的外侧,并未设在导电基体31的端面(该端面是垂直于导电基体31的轴线的表面)的外侧。在另一种实施方式中,结构单元32可以同时分布在该外周面的外侧以及该端面的外侧。下文将以图5所示的实施方式为例继续说明。
本实施例的一种实施方式中,结构单元32可以由导体材料制造,此种结构单元32例如可以是钣金成型的金属件,其重量与结构强度较大。在本实施例的另一种实施方式中,结构单元32可以包括导体层与绝缘层,二者层叠设置,且绝缘层靠近导电基体31,导体层背离导电基体31。导体层由导体材料制造,绝缘层由绝缘材料制造。导体层可以较薄,结构强度较弱,导体层依附在绝缘层上,绝缘层能对导体层进行支撑和加强。
如图5与图6所示,每个结构单元32与导电基体31之间均具有间隔3a,也即每个结构单元32与导电基体31是隔开的,二者并未直接相连。间隔3a的径向尺寸(即间隔3a在导电基体31的径向上的尺寸,该尺寸也可以称为电厚度)例如可以为0.5*λ(λ为导电基体31所遮挡的天线装置的最低频段对应的波长)。
如图5和图6所示,本实施例中,对于仅由导体材料制造的结构单元32而言,该结构单元32与导电基体31之间的间隔3a内可以填充绝缘介质(图6中用斜线阴影表示绝缘介质)。一种实施方式中,绝缘介质可以连续分布并覆盖导电基体31的整个外周面,也即绝缘介质既分布在间隔3a内,也分布在相邻结构单元32之间的缝隙内(该缝隙将在下文继续说明)。另一种实施方式中,绝缘介质在导电基体31的整个外周面上呈离散分布,例如绝缘介质仅分布在间隔3a内,但并未分布在相邻结构单元32之间的缝隙内。其中,每个间隔3a内的绝缘介质可以是离散分布的,各处的绝缘介质形成类似若干个连接柱的结构,各处的绝缘介质之间形成间隙,该间隙内存在空气;或者,每个间隔3a内的绝缘介质是连续分布的。
本实施例中,该绝缘介质既可以起到连接结构单元32与导电基体31的作用,又能将结构单元32与导电基体31电隔绝。
本实施例中,导电基体31的外周面上各处的绝缘介质是同一种材料,也即导电基体31的外周面上各 处的绝缘介质具有相同的介电常数。在其他实施例中,导电基体的外周面上各处的绝缘介质可以是具有不同介电常数的不同材料,该方案将在下文继续说明。
本实施例中,对于包括导体层与绝缘层的结构单元32而言,该结构单元32中的绝缘层可以替代间隔3a内的绝缘介质,因而间隔3a内可以无需再填充绝缘介质。可以理解的是,根据产品需要,针对具有绝缘层的结构单元32也可以填充绝缘介质。
本实施例中,上述的绝缘介质(例如离散分布的绝缘介质)也可以称为绝缘支架,该绝缘支架起到连接并隔绝结构单元32与导电基体31的作用。当没有绝缘介质且结构单元32包括绝缘层与导电层时,该绝缘层也可以称为绝缘支架,结构单元32通过该绝缘支架与导电基体31连接,并与导电基体31隔绝。
如图5所示,所有结构单元32可以沿导电基体31的轴向依次间隔分布,每相邻的两个结构单元32(可以将其中一个结构单元32称为第一结构单元,将另一个结构单元32称为第二结构单元)之间均可以形成缝隙,该缝隙环绕导电基体31一周。上述的绝缘介质可以分布在该缝隙内,也可以不在该缝隙内。每个结构单元32均具有导电性能,使得该缝隙实质上可形成电容,可以称其为第一电容32a,其中,第一电容32a两侧的结构单元32可作为第一电容32a的极板。当绝缘介质分布在该缝隙内时,该缝隙内的绝缘介质也可以作为第一电容32a的组成部分。
如图5和图6所示,第一电容32a可以包括第一部分32b、第二部分32c、第三部分32d和第四部分32e,这四个区域依次首尾相连。第一部分32b与第三部分32d可以是中心对称的,二者的对称中心可以是导电基体31的轴心。第一部分32b与第三部分32d呈中心对称分布,意味着二者的结构一致(结构一致包括两个区域内绝缘介质的分布情况也一致),其中一个绕对称中心旋转180度后与另一个重合。第二部分32c与第四部分32e可以是中心对称的,二者的对称中心可以是导电基体31的轴心。第二部分32c与第四部分32e呈中心对称分布,意味着二者的结构一致(结构一致包括两个区域内绝缘介质的分布情况也一致),其中一个绕对称中心旋转180度后与另一个重合。
本实施例中,第一电容32a的电容值C满足电容公式:C=εS/d,ε为极板间介质的介电常数,S为极板面积,d为极板间的距离。其中,极板即第一电容32a两侧的结构单元32,极板间介质即该绝缘介质(对于该绝缘介质分布在结构单元32之间的缝隙内的情况)或者空气(对于结构单元32之间的缝隙内没有该绝缘介质的情况),S为相邻的结构单元32的正对面积,d为缝隙宽度。
本实施例中,由于第一部分32b与第三部分32d呈中心对称分布,根据上述电容公式可知:第一部分32b与第三部分32d的电容值相等。同理,由于第二部分32c与第四部分32e呈中心对称分布,因此第二部分32c与第四部分32e的电容值相等。下面将以第一部分32b和第二部分32c为描述对象,继续说明第一电容32a的特征。
如图5所示,第一部分32b对应的缝隙可以具有均匀宽度,即第一部分32b的缝隙的两边基本平行,第一部分32b的各处的缝隙宽度可以一致,或称第一部分32b的缝隙具有同一宽度。第二部分32c对应的缝隙可以具有非均匀宽度,即第二部分32c的缝隙的两边不平行,第二部分32c的各处的缝隙宽度不一致,或称第二部分32c的缝隙具有可变宽度。示意性的,第二部分32c的缝隙的两条边可以是曲线(例如为弧线),第二部分32c的两端的缝隙宽度可以较小,位于两端之间的中部的缝隙宽度可以较大,从两端到中部的缝隙宽度可以是渐变的,由此使得第二部分32c的各处的缝隙宽度不一致。
如图5所示,第一部分32b的缝隙的最大宽度(也第一部分32b的任意处的缝隙宽度)可以小于或等于第二部分32c的缝隙的最小宽度(例如第二部分32c与第一部分32b邻接处的缝隙宽度),也即从整体来上看,第一部分32b的缝隙宽度是小于第二部分32c的缝隙宽度的。因此根据上述电容公式可知:第一部分32b的电容值大于第二部分32c的电容值。
综上所述,在第一电容32a中,第一部分32b的缝隙宽度=第三部分32d的缝隙宽度<第二部分32c的缝隙宽度=第四部分32e的缝隙宽度,第一部分32b的电容值=第三部分32d的电容值>第二部分32c的电容值=第四部分32e的电容值。也即,第一电容32a的不同区域的缝隙宽度不同,导致第一电容32a的不同区域的电容值不同。
如图5所示,在天线结构件3中,所有结构单元32的形状一致且均匀间隔分布,使得所有缝隙的形状也一致并均匀间隔分布,这样形成的隐身结构层可以称为具有周期性结构。
在其他实施方式中,所有结构单元32的形状可以不全相同(指任意两个结构单元32的形状都不同;或者,至少有两个结构单元32的形状相同,但不是所有结构单元32的形状都相同),和/或,所有结构单元32可以不是均匀间隔分布(指对于结构单元32之间的所有缝隙而言,任意两个缝隙的形状不同;或者至少有两个缝隙的形状相同,但不是所有缝隙的形状都相同)。这样使得所有缝隙的形状不全一致和/或非 均匀间隔分布,由此形成的隐身结构层可以称为准周期性结构。例如,准周期性结构可以是在周期性结构中删除若干个结构单元得到的结构。具有准周期性结构的隐身结构层,能够与导电基体31的外形结构适配。例如若导电基体31的外表面某处具有凸起,则隐身结构层在该处可以避让该凸起,以形成准周期性结构。
下面将说明天线结构件3的电磁隐身原理。
图5与图6中还示出了波源与天线结构件3的关系,其中波源指电磁波的源头,对于天线装置的辐射过程,波源即为天线装置;对于天线装置的接收过程,波源可以理解为空中环境。如图5与图6所示,在KEH三坐标系中,K表示电磁波的传播方向,E表示电场方向,H表示磁场方向,坐标系的原点可以指代波源位置。
结合图5与图6所示,示意性的,较窄的第一部分32b可以距离波源最近,较窄的第三部分32d可以距离波源最远。当电磁波沿K向传播至第一部分32b内时,电磁波将改变传播方向,并被约束在缝隙内沿缝隙的延伸方向传播。从第一部分32b起,电磁波可以分为两路传播,一路电磁波沿着第一部分32b、第二部分32c与第三部分32d的路径传播,另一路电磁波沿着第一部分32b、第四部分32e与第三部分32d的路径传播。两路电磁波传播至第三部分32d时,将会以传播方向K从第三部分32d射出。
本实施例中,如图6所示,第一部分32b可以接收波源的电磁波,第三部分32d可出射电磁波,第一部分32b与第三部分32d相当于贴片天线。第二部分32c与第四部分32e可将电磁波束缚在其内传输,二者可相当于缝隙传输线(slotline)。
由此可见,第一电容32a的作用是改变波源发出的电磁波的传播方向,并将电磁波约束在其内进行传播,使得电磁波能够绕着天线结构件3进行传播,并可以保持电磁波从第一电容32a内射出时的传播方向不变。因此,即使天线结构件3对波源存在遮挡,但是由于存在第一电容32a,使得电磁波能够绕过天线结构件3传播至天线结构件3的后方,从而减少或者消除了电磁阴影。并且,由于可以不改变电磁波的传播方向,因而能够保证电磁波的传播特性不变。
所以,本实施例的天线结构件3,通过在导电基体31的外周设置至少两个结构单元32,并形成第一电容32a,使得导电基体31相对电磁波具有电磁隐身性能,避免或减少了导电基体31对电磁波的遮挡。
本实施例中,由于第一电容32a的不同区域的电容值不同,使得不同频段的电磁波信号均能够以各自的电长度在缝隙内发生谐振,从而使得不同频段的电磁波均能通过缝隙。也即,通过使第一电容32a的不同区域的电容值不同,使缝隙能够允许多种频段的电磁波通过,从而拓展了隐身带宽。
根据上述的原理说明容易理解,天线结构件3中只要存在一个第一电容32a,即能改善导电基体31对电磁波的遮挡,拓展隐身带宽。当然根据实际需要,第一电容32a的数量可以是多个。
本实施例中,靠近波源的第一部分32b的电容值较大的设计,能够满足一些频段的电磁波的传播需要,但这并非是对本申请实施例的限定。在其他实施例中,第一电容32a的各个区域的电容值大小,与距离波源的远近的对应关系可以根据需要设计,不限于上文所述。例如,针对一些频段的电磁波,可以使得第一电容32a中的距离波源较近的区域具有较小的电容值。
本实施例中,使得靠近波源的第一部分32b的缝隙具有均匀宽度,距离波源稍远的第二部分32c的缝隙具有非均匀宽度,这仅仅是一种举例,并非是对本申请实施例的限定。例如,也可以使得靠近波源的第一部分32b的缝隙具有非均匀宽度,使得距离波源稍远的第二部分32c的缝隙具有均匀宽度,且使得第一部分32b的最大缝隙宽度小于或等于第二部分32c的最小缝隙宽度(也即第二部分32c的任意处的缝隙宽度),进而使得第一部分32b电容值大于所述第二部分32c的电容值。
本实施例中,以缝隙的宽度变化将第一电容32a分为四个部分,这仅仅是一种举例,并非是对本申请实施例的限定,还可以设计缝隙的宽度变化,以从第一电容32a中划分出其他数量的部分。实际上根据产品需要,本申请实施例中的缝隙只要不是恒定宽度缝隙即可,这样就能够实现拓展隐身带宽的目的。
本实施例中,第一部分32b与第三部分32d中心对称,第二部分32c与第四部分32e中心对称,该设计能够能保证电磁波经第一电容32a射出后,保持之前的传播方向与传播特性(例如极化特性、频段等)。但是该设计仅仅是一种举例,并非是对本申请实施例的限定。例如,可以仅使第一部分32b与第三部分32d的形状一致,但位置上并不要求中心对称,这样虽然改变了电磁波的传播方向与传播特性,但是可以满足天线信号的互易性,还可以使得从第一电容32a射出的电磁波折射到其他方向进而扩大天线装置的信号扫描范围(例如一种多输入多输出MIMO天线可应用该方案)。或者,可以使得第一部分32b与第三部分32d的形状不同,且位置上不要求中心对称。
上文详细说明了本实施例的电磁隐身的原理设计,下面将结合图4说明本实施例的电磁隐身设计在天 线系统2中的具体应用。
如图4所示,天线系统2中的天线结构件24可以包括移相器242,以及覆盖移相器242的外表面的隐身结构层241。其中,移相器242为上述的导电基体31的一种具体形式,隐身结构层241对应上述的隐身结构层。天线结构件24对第二辐射单元26具有一定遮挡,但是由于设置了隐身结构层241,第二辐射单元26辐射的电磁波将会绕过天线结构件24继续传播,或者电磁波将会绕过天线结构件24而被第二辐射单元26接收到,从而能减少或者消除电磁阴影。因此,第二辐射单元26可以具备大角度扫描能力,其口径(例如图4中的水平方向的口径)可以得到扩展,而不会受到前置移相器242的遮挡与限制。
与上述实施例不同的是,如图7所示,在另一种实施例中,天线结构件4的导电基体41可以大致为矩形柱状结构。结构单元42可以大致是由四个平板围成的方形筒状结构。相邻的结构单元42之间的第一电容可以包括第一部分42b与第二部分42c。第一部分42b可以位于导电基体41的一个侧面的外周,第二部分42c可以位于导电基体41的另一个侧面的外周,第一部分42b与第二部分42c的邻接位置可以对应导电基体41的棱边。
如图7所示,示意性的,第一部分42b与第二部分42c均可以为矩形区域,第一部分42b与第二部分42c的缝隙均具有均匀宽度。第一部分42b的缝隙宽度可以小于第二部分42c的缝隙宽度。可以理解的是,结构单元42的第一电容还可以包括第三部分与第四部分(由于图7视角原因未显示),第三部分与第一部分42b可以是中心对称的,第四部分与第二部分42c可以是中心对称的。
本实施例中,由于第一部分42b的缝隙宽度小于第二部分42c的缝隙宽度,因此根据上述电容公式,第一部分42b的电容值大于第二部分42c的电容值。也即,第一电容的不同区域的缝隙宽度不同,导致第一电容的不同区域的电容值不同。
如图7所示,示意性的,电磁波的传播方向K可以垂直于天线结构件4中第一部分42b所在的侧面,但是本实施例的方案并不限于此,例如第一部分42b所在的侧面也可与传播方向K不垂直。
本实施例的方案使得导电基体41相对电磁波具有电磁隐身性能,避免或减少了导电基体41对电磁波的遮挡,还能拓展隐身带宽。另外,天线结构件4上的缝隙的结构简单,量产性好,并且能满足特定的产品需求。
与图7所示的实施例不同的是,如图8(a)和图8(b)所示,在另一种实施例中,天线结构件5的相邻的结构单元52之间的第一电容可以包括第一部分52b与第二部分52c,其中,第一部分52b的缝隙可由至少两段子缝隙52d依次弯折连接而成,即若干段子缝隙52d依次连接,且每相邻的两段子缝隙52d形成弯折角。子缝隙52d之间的弯折角度可以根据需要设计,例如可以为90°,第一部分52b的此种缝隙可以形成类似方波的形状。在其他实施方式中,相邻子缝隙52d的弯折角可以不限于90°,以使第一部分52b的缝隙形成其他形状,例如曲线形状(如正弦曲线、抛物线等)。
如图8(b)所示,每段子缝隙52d均可以具有均匀宽度,且所有子缝隙52d的宽度相同,因此子缝隙52d的宽度也即第一部分52b的缝隙宽度d1。第二部分52c的缝隙具有均匀宽度,且第二部分52c的缝隙宽度d2可以大于第一部分52b的缝隙宽度。
本实施例中,第一部分52b中的所有子缝隙52d连接而成的总缝隙长度,可以大于第二部分52c的缝隙长度。对于上述电容公式C=εS/d(ε为极板间介质的介电常数,S为极板面积,d为极板间的距离),由于第一部分52b的缝隙长度较大,因此第一部分52b的极板面积S1较大(第一部分52b与第二部分52c的缝隙深度一致);第二部分52c的缝隙长度较小,因此第一部分52b的极板面积S2较小。
本实施例中,对于第一部分52b与第二部分52c而言,可以使(S1/d1)>(S2/d2),从而使第一部分52b的电容值C1>第二部分52c的电容值C2。也即,本实施例可通过配置第一电容的不同区域的缝隙长度与缝隙宽度,使得第一电容的不同区域的电容值不同。
本实施例的方案使得导电基体51相对电磁波具有电磁隐身性能,避免或减少了导电基体41对电磁波的遮挡,还能拓展隐身带宽。
本实施例的方案可以应用在如下的场景中:当出于制造工艺的限制,无法制造出缝隙宽度小于阈值的规则形状(例如矩形形状)的第一部分时,可以考虑将第一部分设计成图8(a)所示的第一部分52b(第一部分52b可认为是一种不规则形状),通过增加缝隙长度来弥补缝隙宽度无法做小的工艺限制,最终使得第一部分具有较大的电容值。所以,本实施例的设计能够与已有制造工艺匹配,量产性较好。
在其他实施例中,可以采用与图8(a)所示实施例不同的方案,只要保证(S1/d1)>(S2/d2)从而使第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值即可。
例如,在一种实施方式中,可以使得第一部分由至少两段子缝隙依次弯折连接而成,第一部分的缝隙 长度大于第二部分的缝隙长度,每段子缝隙具有均匀宽度,所有子缝隙的宽度一致,第二部分的缝隙具有均匀宽度,且第二部分的缝隙宽度等于第一部分的缝隙宽度。
或者,在另一种实施方式中,可以使得第一部分由至少两段子缝隙依次弯折连接而成,第一部分的缝隙长度大于第二部分的缝隙长度,但是对子缝隙的宽度不做限定(例如子缝隙可以具有非均匀缝隙,所有子缝隙的宽度不全相同等),对第二部分的缝隙宽度也不做限定(例如第二缝隙可以具有非均匀宽度,不限定第二缝隙的缝隙宽度与子缝隙的宽度的大小关系)。
或者,在另一种实施方式中,可以使得第一部分由至少两段子缝隙依次弯折连接而成,第二部分也由至少两段子缝隙依次弯折连接而成,除此之外均不做限定。
与图7所示实施例不同的是,如图9所示,在另一种实施例中,天线结构件6的相邻的结构单元62之间的第一电容可以包括第一部分62b与第二部分62c。其中,第二部分62c可以跨越导电基体61的一条棱边,并可以分布于导电基体61的两个相邻侧面的外周,也即第二部分62c的一部分位于一个侧面,第二部分62c的另一部分位于另一个侧面,第二部分62c的这两部分弯折连接。第一部分62b可以跨越导电基体61的另一条棱边,并可以分布于导电基体61的另外两个相邻侧面的外周(由于图9视角原因,并未显示出完整的第一部分62b)。另外,电磁波的传播方向K并不垂直于天线结构件6的任一个侧面。
本实施例的方案使得导电基体61相对电磁波具有电磁隐身性能,避免或减少了导电基体61对电磁波的遮挡,还能拓展隐身带宽。另外,天线结构件6上的缝隙的结构简单,量产性好,并且能满足特定的产品需求。下面将说明图9所示方案的一种具体应用。
图10示出了图9所示的电磁隐身设计在图4所示的天线系统2中的具体应用。为了突出说明重点,图10显示了天线系统2的局部。如图9和图10所示,天线结构件6在天线系统2中具体可以是天线结构件24,导电基体61具体可以是天线结构件24的移相器242,隐身结构层241设在移相器242的外周。隐身结构层241包括第一电容,第一电容包括第一部分62b、第二部分62c、第三部分62d和第四部分62e。示意性的,第一部分62b与第三部分62d中心对称,第二部分62c与第四部分62e中心对称。
如图10所示,以第二辐射单元26作为波源为例,第二辐射单元26距离第一部分62b最近。第二辐射单元26辐射的电磁波大致会沿“斜向”传播至天线结构件24的两个相邻侧面,因此使得第一部分62b分布在这两个侧面,便于第一部分62b接收电磁波,并将电磁波约束在第一电容内进行传播,最终使电磁波从第三部分62d射出。由于第一部分62b采用“跨越移相器242的棱边”式分布,因此第二部分62c、第三部分62d和第四部分62e也是“跨越移相器242的棱边”式分布。由此可见,使得第一电容的不同电容值区域均分布在移相器242的两个相邻侧面,能够与波源的位置匹配,从而实现较好的电磁隐身效果。
与图7所示实施例相同的是,如图11所示,在另一种实施例中,天线结构件7包括导电基体71以及至少两个结构单元72,相邻的结构单元72之间形成第一电容,第一电容可以包括第一部分72b与第二部分72c。
与图7所示实施例不同的是,如图11所示,本实施例的结构单元72并非是一体式结构,而是内部具有耦合缝隙,结构单元72位于耦合缝隙两侧的部分完全断开不连接,耦合缝隙两侧的部分可通过该耦合缝隙耦合。示意性的,结构单元72可以包括第一部分721、第二部分722、第三部分723和第四部分724,这四个部分可以分别位于导电基体71的不同侧面。第一部分721与第二部分722之间具有耦合缝隙72f,第二部分722与第三部分723之间具有耦合缝隙72g,第三部分723与第四部分724之间具有耦合缝隙72h,第四部分724与第一部分721之间具有耦合缝隙72i。上述四个耦合缝隙可以将结构单元72分隔成四个独立的部分。当电磁波传播至结构单元72时,电磁波可以“跨过”这些耦合缝隙,因此结构单元72位于耦合缝隙两侧的部分通过耦合缝隙耦合。
如图11所示,示意性的,每个耦合缝隙均沿着导电基体71的棱边延伸。结构单元72具有四个耦合缝隙,四个耦合缝隙将结构单元72分隔成四个独立的部分。以上均仅仅是一种举例,并非是对本实施例的限定。根据产品需要,耦合缝隙的位置与延伸方向可以灵活设计,耦合缝隙的数量可以是至少一个。另外,可以是所有结构单元72均具有耦合缝隙,也可以仅有部分结构单元72具有耦合缝隙。
本实施例中,在结构单元72中形成耦合缝隙,便于将结构单元72的不同部分依次装配到导电基体71上,最后拼成完整的结构单元72,这样能够在一些场景下实现结构单元72的可靠组装。尤其是在导电基体71的尺寸较大、结构单元72的数量较多时,分体组装的方式能够简化组装工艺,提高组装良率。另外,耦合缝隙能够允许某些频段的电磁波通过,使得天线结构件7具有一定的拓展隐身带宽作用。
可以理解的是,本实施例的耦合缝隙设计可以根据需要,应用在本申请的其他任一实施例中。
与图11所示实施例相同的是,如图12所示,在另一种实施例中,天线结构件8包括导电基体81以 及至少两个结构单元82,相邻的结构单元82之间形成第一电容,第一电容可以包括第一部分82b与第二部分82c。结构单元82并非是一体式结构,而是内部具有耦合缝隙,结构单元82位于耦合缝隙两侧的部分完全断开不连接,耦合缝隙两侧的部分可通过该耦合缝隙耦合。
与图11所示实施例不同的是,如图12所示,本实施例的结构单元82可以具有耦合缝隙82f与耦合缝隙82g,耦合缝隙82f与耦合缝隙82g可以分别位于结构单元82的相对两侧。示意性的,耦合缝隙82f与耦合缝隙82g均可以大致在结构单元82的侧面的中部,并非是在结构单元82的棱边处。耦合缝隙82f与耦合缝隙82g可以将结构单元82分隔成第一部分821与第二部分822,第一部分821与第二部分822均可以近似呈C形结构。示意性的,本实施例的隐身结构层可以具有周期性结构,因此所有结构单元82的同侧的耦合缝隙可以共线。
本实施例中,在结构单元82中形成耦合缝隙,便于将结构单元82的不同部分依次装配到导电基体81上,最后拼成完整的结构单元82,这样能够在一些场景下实现结构单元82的可靠组装。尤其是在导电基体81的尺寸较大、结构单元82的数量较多时,分体组装的方式能够简化组装工艺,提高组装良率。由于结构单元82的部件数量较少,可以一定程度上简化组装工艺。另外,耦合缝隙能够允许某些频段的电磁波通过,使得天线结构件8具有一定的拓展隐身带宽作用。
可以理解的是,本实施例的耦合缝隙设计可以根据需要应用在本申请的其他任一实施例中,包括下文将要描述的实施例。
与图7所示实施例相同的是,如图13所示,在另一种实施例中,天线结构件9包括导电基体91以及至少两个结构单元92,相邻的结构单元92之间形成第一电容,第一电容可以包括第一部分92b与第二部分92c。
与图7所示实施例不同的是,如图13所示,每个结构单元92的局部区域可以镂空形成镂空区。示意性的,每个结构单元92的两个相对侧面均可以形成镂空,分别形成镂空区92f与镂空区92g。在其他实施方式中,可以根据产品需要设计镂空区的位置及数量,不限于图13所示。例如,只要至少一个结构单元92形成镂空区即可。
本实施例中,在结构单元92上形成镂空区,能够减轻重量,有利于减小天线结构件9的重量。特别是当结构单元92为较重的金属件时,开设镂空区能极大减重。另外,当电磁波传播至天线结构件9附近时,电磁场主要分布在第一电容处,其余区域的电磁场很弱,因此开设镂空区也基本不影响电磁波的传播特性。
可以理解的是,本实施例的镂空设计可以应用在本申请的其他任一实施例中,包括下文将要描述的实施例。
与上述实施例相同的是,如图14所示的实施例中,天线结构件10可以包括导电基体101以及至少两个结构单元102,相邻的结构单元102之间形成第一电容102a。
与上述实施例均不同的是,图14中的第一电容102a可以具有均匀的缝隙宽度,也即第一电容102a的缝隙的各个位置的宽度可以一致。并且,结构单元102与导电基体101之间可以填充绝缘介质,绝缘介质例如可以覆盖导电基体101的整个外周面。绝缘介质可以包括第一绝缘介质103a与第二绝缘介质103b,第一绝缘介质103a的介电常数可以大于第二绝缘介质103b的介电常数。第一绝缘介质103a与第二绝缘介质103b例如可以沿着导电基体101的长度方向从导电基体101的一端延伸到另一端,并且二者可以在导电基体101的周向方向上交替排布,以形成图15所示的排布方式:第一绝缘介质103a-第二绝缘介质103b-第一绝缘介质103a-第二绝缘介质103b。第一绝缘介质103a可以分布于导电基体101的两个相邻侧面,第二绝缘介质103b也可以分布于导电基体101的两个相邻侧面,第一绝缘介质103a与第二绝缘介质103b均可以跨越导电基体101的棱边。
本实施例中,可以在第一电容102a中定义出第一部分、第二部分、第三部分与第四部分,第一部分距离波源最近,第一部分内填充有第一绝缘介质103a,第二部分与第一部分相邻,第二部分内填充有第二绝缘介质103b,第三部分与第一部分相对(例如可以中心对称),第三部分内填充有第一绝缘介质103a,第四部分与第二部分相对(例如可以中心对称),第四部分内填充有第二绝缘介质103b。
根据上述的电容公式C=εS/d(ε为极板间介质的介电常数,S为极板面积,d为极板间的距离),对于第一电容102a的各个区域而言,在S与d均一致的情况下,由于第一部分内的第一绝缘介质103a的介电常数较大,因此第一部分的电容值较大;由于第二部分内的第二绝缘介质103b的介电常数较小,因此第一部分的电容值较小。第三部分的电容值可以等于第一部分的电容值,第四部分的电容值可以等于第二部分的电容值。因此,本实施例可通过使第一电容102a具有均匀缝隙宽度,且使得第一电容102a的不同 区域填充不同介电常数的绝缘介质,使得第一电容102a的不同区域的电容值不同。
本实施例的方案使得导电基体101相对电磁波具有电磁隐身性能,避免或减少了导电基体101对电磁波的遮挡,还能拓展隐身带宽。另外如图15所示,电磁波的传播方向K可以不垂直于天线结构件10的任一个侧面,该设计使得天线结构件10能够应用于图10所示的天线系统2中,通过使得第一电容102a的不同电容值区域均分布在移相器242的两个相邻侧面,能够与波源的位置匹配,从而实现较好的电磁隐身效果。详细原理上文已有描述,此处不再重复。
可以理解的是,本实施例通过填充不同介电常数的绝缘介质实现不同区域的电容值差异的设计,可以根据需要应用在本申请的其他任一实施例中。例如,可以不限定第一电容的缝隙尺寸(包括宽度尺寸与长度尺寸等)、缝隙样式(指缝隙为一整条缝隙,还是如图8(a)所示的由若干段子缝隙依次弯折连接而成)、缝隙分布(指缝隙仅分布在导电基体的一个侧面还是分布在两个相邻侧面)等,并在第一电容的不同区域填充不同介电常数的绝缘介质,通过综合配置缝隙的形状尺寸、位置尺寸和绝缘介质的介电常数,最终使第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值。
与上图14所示实施例相同的是,如图16所示的实施例中,天线结构件20可以包括导电基体201以及至少两个结构单元202,相邻的结构单元202之间形成第一电容202a。
与上图14所示实施例不同的是,如图16所示,第一电容202a可以无需填充绝缘介质,或者可以填充同种介电常数的绝缘介质。并且,第一电容202a的不同区域可以分别安装电容值不同的电容器件,例如距离波源最近与最远的区域可以安装第一电容器件204(由于图16视角所限,未显示距离波源最远的、位于下方的第一电容器件204),与第一电容器件204相邻的区域可以安装第二电容器件203。可以将安装第一电容器件204的区域称为第一部分与第三部分,将安装第二电容器件203的区域称为第二部分与第四部分。第一电容器件204的电容值大于第二电容器件203的电容值。第一电容器件204可以是固定电容值的电容器件,或者可以是能在信号控制下改变电容值的电容器件(例如变容管)。第二电容器件203可以是固定电容值的电容器件,或者可以是能在信号控制下改变电容值的电容器件(例如变容管)。第一电容器件204也可以称为第二电容,第二电容器件203也可以称为第三电容。
第一电容器件204与第二电容器件203例如可以通过焊接等方式固定在缝隙内。第一电容器件204与第二电容器件203的数量可以根据需要确定,本实施例不做限定。
第一电容202a的各个区域的电容值可以等于根据上述的电容公式C=εS/d(ε为极板间介质的介电常数,S为极板面积,d为极板间的距离)计算得到的电容值加上该区域的电容器件的电容值。对于第一电容202a的各个区域而言,在ε、S、d均一致的情况下,根据电容公式C=εS/d计算得到的电容值相等。由于第一部分内设有电容值较大的第一电容器件204,因此第一部分的电容值较大;由于第二部分内设有电容值较小的第二电容器件203,因此第二部分的电容值较小。第三部分的电容值可以等于第一部分的电容值,第四部分的电容值可以等于第二部分的电容值。
因此,本实施例可通过使第一电容202a具有均匀缝隙宽度,且使得第一电容202a的不同区域安装不同电容值的电容器件,使得第一电容202a的不同区域的电容值不同。
本实施例的方案使得导电基体201相对电磁波具有电磁隐身性能,避免或减少了导电基体201对电磁波的遮挡,还能拓展隐身带宽。示意性的,当电容器件为可变电容的电容器件时,可以根据波源的扫描角度变化,适应性地调整相应区域的电容器件的电容,进而调整该区域的电容值大小,确保天线结构件20对波源的电磁隐身效果。
基于本实施例的原理容易得出其他变形方案。例如,可以仅在第一电容202a的部分区域设电容器件(例如第一部分),不在其他区域设电容器件,同样可以使得第一电容202a的不同区域的电容值不同。另外,通过在区域内设置电容器件影响区域的电容值的设计,可以根据需要应用在本申请的任一实施例中。例如,可以不限定第一电容的缝隙尺寸、缝隙样式、缝隙分布、绝缘介质的填充情况等,并在第一电容内安装电容器件,通过综合配置缝隙的形状尺寸、位置尺寸、绝缘介质的介电常数及电容器件的电容值,最终使第一部分的电容值大于第二部分的电容值。
在以上任一实施例中,结构单元与导电基体之间可以形成电容(例如称为平板电容),该平板电容可以影响绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段。出于产品需要(例如减小体积的需要),可能希望减小结构单元与导电基体的间隔。但是间隔减小可能导致绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段提高,改变电磁波的传播特性。
有鉴于此,在以上任一实施例的基础上,天线结构件还可以包括电感元件,电感元件可以设在结构单元与导电基体的间隔内,并连接结构单元与导电基体,以使结构单元与导电基体电连接。电感元件可与上述的平板电容构成并联谐振电路,该并联谐振电路能使绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段降低。因此,设置 电感元件与减小结构单元与导电基体的间隔对频段的影响可以相互抵消,使得绕过天线结构件的电磁波的频段保持不变,从而保持电磁波的传播特性。
本实施例中,电感元件可以是导体结构件,例如金属柱,此种电感元件可以等效为电感,此种电感元件便于实现天线结构件的机械加工。或者,电感元件可以直接为电感。
本实施例中,电感元件的位置可以根据需要设计,例如与第一电容相距一定距离,避免过于靠近。电感元件的数量可以根据需要设计,例如每个结构单元均可通过至少一个电感元件与导电基体连接,或者仅有部分结构单元通过电感元件与导电基体连接。
图17示意了一种应用本实施例的电感元件设计的天线结构件30。如图17所示,天线结构件30可以包括导电基体301以及至少两个结构单元302,相邻的结构单元302之间形成第一电容302a。结构单元302的每个侧面均通过电感元件303与导电基体301连接,每个结构单元302与导电基体301之间均设有若干个电感元件303。可以理解的,图17所示的天线结构件30仅仅是一种举例,并非是在限定电感元件303的应用环境。
以上对本申请实施例的详细介绍。本文中应用了具体个例对本申请的原理及实施例进行了阐述,以上实施例的说明只是用于帮助理解本申请的方法及其核心思想;同时,对于本领域的一般技术人员,依据本申请的思想,在具体实施例及应用范围上均会有改变之处。综上所述,本说明书内容不应理解为对本申请的限制。
