Definitions
- the present invention relates to a patch antenna.
- 5G mobile communication systems use electromagnetic waves in a higher frequency band (for example, electromagnetic waves in the 28 GHz band, so-called millimeter waves) than those used in previous mobile communication systems.
- a higher frequency band for example, electromagnetic waves in the 28 GHz band, so-called millimeter waves
- an antenna for millimeter wave communication is a patch antenna having a dielectric layer and a rectangular flat patch conductor formed on the dielectric layer (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- Millimeter waves have the problem of short propagation distances due to their high degree of directivity and tendency to attenuate during propagation. Even when using a patch antenna as an antenna for millimeter wave communications, high antenna gain is required.
- the present invention aims to provide a patch antenna that improves antenna gain.
- a patch antenna comprises a first dielectric layer having a fluororesin and a porous inorganic microparticle aggregate composed of a plurality of inorganic microparticles filled in the fluororesin, and a first patch conductor formed on the first dielectric layer, the relative dielectric constant of the first dielectric layer being 2.5 or less, and the porosity of the first dielectric layer being 30% to 70%.
- the present invention makes it possible to improve the antenna gain of a patch antenna.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a patch antenna according to a first embodiment. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a patch antenna according to a first embodiment.
- FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a patch antenna according to a second embodiment. 11 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a patch antenna according to a second embodiment.
- FIG. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a patch antenna according to a third embodiment. 13 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a patch antenna according to a third embodiment.
- FIG. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a patch antenna according to a fourth embodiment. 13 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a patch antenna according to a fourth embodiment.
- FIG. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a patch antenna according to a fifth embodiment. 13 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a patch antenna according to a fifth embodiment.
- FIG. FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a patch antenna according to a sixth embodiment. A vertical cross-sectional
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the patch antenna 1 according to this embodiment.
- Figure 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the patch antenna 1 cut along line A-A shown in Figure 1.
- the X direction shown in the figure corresponds to the width direction of the patch antenna 1
- the Y direction corresponds to the depth direction of the patch antenna 1
- the Z direction corresponds to the height direction of the patch antenna 1.
- the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction are mutually orthogonal.
- any direction in the XY plane may be referred to as an "in-plane direction”.
- the direction along the Z direction may be referred to as a "perpendicular to the plane direction”.
- Patch antenna 1 is an antenna that performs wireless communication by transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves having a frequency band of 3 GHz to 300 GHz, known as millimeter waves or microwaves.
- the frequency band of electromagnetic waves that can be transmitted and received by patch antenna 1 may be other than these.
- the patch antenna 1 has a first dielectric layer 10, a first patch conductor 20, a first ground layer 30, a second ground layer 40, an inner layer 50, and a power supply section 60.
- the first dielectric layer 10 is, for example, a dielectric layer that functions as a substrate for the patch antenna 1. More specifically, the first dielectric layer 10 has a predetermined thickness and is in the form of a sheet extending in an in-plane direction. The first dielectric layer 10 also has a first surface (front surface) 11 located on the upper side in the perpendicular direction and a second surface (back surface) 12 located on the lower side in the perpendicular direction.
- the material of the first dielectric layer 10 is preferably a composite material containing a fluorine-based resin and a filler.
- the fluorine-based resin include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxyalkane (PFA), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTEF), tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer (ETFE), chlorotrifluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer (ECTFE), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
- PTFE is particularly preferable.
- the fluororesin is preferably "fibrillated (fibrous structured)". It is more preferable that the fibers in the fibrillation are oriented not only in one direction but in multiple directions. It is particularly preferable that the fibrils are linked to inorganic fine particle aggregates, which will be described later, to form a "three-dimensional fine mesh structure".
- the fibrillation of the fluororesin can be promoted, for example, by applying a shear force, but more specifically, it is preferably performed by multi-stage rolling.
- the three-dimensional fine mesh structure is preferably formed by multi-stage rolling in opposite directions.
- Fillers include granular fillers and fibrous fillers.
- Granular fillers include solid carbon such as carbon black; silicon dioxide (silica) such as porous silica, fused silica, and silica gel; transition metal oxides (including composite oxides) such as titanium oxide (titanium dioxide (titania)), iron oxide, and zirconium oxide (zirconium dioxide (zirconia)); and nitrides of typical elements such as boron nitride and silicon nitride.
- Fibrous fillers include glass fiber and carbon fiber. These fillers can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
- the filler preferably contains "porous inorganic microparticle aggregates (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "inorganic microparticle aggregates”) formed by agglomeration of inorganic microparticles having an average primary particle size of 5 to 200 nm.
- inorganic microparticle aggregates By containing inorganic microparticle aggregates as a filler, it is possible to ensure good properties such as a dielectric constant and a thermal expansion coefficient.
- inorganic microparticle aggregates refer to aggregates formed by the fusion of multiple inorganic microparticles, which are porous with voids between the inorganic microparticles.
- the materials of the inorganic fine particles in the inorganic fine particle aggregate include oxides of typical elements such as silicon oxide (silicon monoxide, silicon dioxide (silica), etc.) and aluminum oxide (alumina) (including composite oxides); transition metal oxides such as titanium oxide (titanium dioxide (titania)), iron oxide, and zirconium oxide (zirconium dioxide (zirconia)) (including composite oxides); and nitrides of typical elements such as boron nitride and silicon nitride, which can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, oxides of typical elements are preferred, and silicon dioxide (silica) is particularly preferred.
- the relative dielectric constant of the composite material can be kept extremely low, and the composite material can be manufactured at a lower cost.
- the crystallinity of the inorganic fine particles is not particularly limited, but silicon dioxide is usually amorphous.
- the average primary particle diameter of the inorganic fine particles is 5 to 200 nm, but is preferably 10 nm or more, more preferably 15 nm or more, even more preferably 20 nm or more, and is preferably 150 nm or less, more preferably 120 nm or less, even more preferably 100 nm or less, particularly preferably 80 nm or less, and most preferably 70 nm or less. If it is within the above range, the inorganic fine particle aggregates are not easily destroyed even when processing such as mixing, molding, rolling, etc. is performed, good voids can be secured between the inorganic fine particles, and a smooth surface can be easily secured as a plate-shaped composite material.
- the average primary particle diameter of the inorganic fine particles is a value obtained by measuring the particle diameter by direct observation with a scanning electron microscope and averaging the measured values.
