According to the multi-frequency narrow beam antenna, by arranging the first high-frequency narrow beam array 200, the second high-frequency narrow beam array 300 and the low-frequency narrow beam array, three-frequency-band narrow beam coverage can be realized, and the high requirements of the communication network service of the whole coverage of long and narrow scenes such as high-speed rails and the like can be met; by arranging the low-frequency narrow beam array to have the second low-frequency radiating elements not adjacent to each first low-frequency radiating element and/or the first low-frequency radiating elements not adjacent to each second low-frequency radiating element, the first low-frequency column 110 can be provided with a low-frequency radiating element group formed by the single first low-frequency radiating element and/or the second low-frequency column 120 can be provided with a low-frequency radiating element group formed by the single second low-frequency radiating element, so that on the premise of meeting the number of radiating elements required by the vertical plane beam forming requirement, the number of the first low-frequency radiating elements and/or the second low-frequency radiating elements can be reduced correspondingly due to the low-frequency radiating element group, thereby simplifying the boundary of the low-frequency narrow beam array, improving the low-frequency beam convergence and improving the high-low-frequency gain; in addition, the reduction of the number of the first low-frequency radiating units and/or the second low-frequency radiating units can avoid the mutual coupling influence between the low-frequency radiating units and the high-frequency radiating units, and meanwhile, the gain, standing waves and other electrical indexes of the first high-frequency narrow beam array and the second high-frequency narrow beam array are improved, so that better antenna electrical performance and radiation performance are obtained.
It should be understood that, in practical application, the two adjacent first low-frequency radiating elements and the second low-frequency radiating elements are connected through the power divider and then connected to a phase shifter (not shown) in the multi-frequency beam antenna, so as to form a 32 ° narrow beam; the above-mentioned single first low-frequency radiation unit and single second low-frequency radiation unit are not equipped with correspondent power divider, i.e. they are not connected with power divider, but are directly connected with phase shifter in the multi-frequency narrow beam antenna.
In practical applications, the first low-frequency column 110 and the second low-frequency column 120 may be disposed along the second reference line A2 and the fourth reference line A4, respectively, which is not limited herein.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, please refer to fig. 1 and 2 together, when the first low-frequency column 110 has a first low-frequency radiating element (e.g., 111a in fig. 1; 111a and 111d in fig. 2) that is not adjacent to each of the second low-frequency radiating elements (e.g., 121a, 121b, 121c in fig. 1; 121a and 111d in fig. 2) in the second low-frequency column 120, a first low-frequency radiating element (e.g., 111a in fig. 1; 121a and 111d in fig. 2) that is not adjacent to each of the second low-frequency radiating elements (e.g., 121a, 121b in fig. 2) in the second low-frequency column 120 is located at the head and/or tail of the first low-frequency column 110. The arrangement of the first low frequency radiating elements not adjacent to each of the second low frequency radiating elements in the second low frequency column 120 at the head and/or tail of the first low frequency column 110 has a better effect on the low frequency beam convergence and improvement of the antenna electrical performance and can reduce the influence on the low frequency narrow beam array pattern. It is further preferable that the number of the first low-frequency radiating elements not adjacent to each of the second low-frequency radiating elements in the second low-frequency column 120 is 2 or less. In this way, the convergence is improved, and the coverage effect of the low-frequency narrow beam array is better, so that the radiation indexes such as low-frequency gain and the like are prevented from being influenced by the too small number of second low-frequency radiation units of the second low-frequency column 120 relative to the first low-frequency column 110. Referring to fig. 2, when the number of the first low-frequency radiating elements 111a and 111d not adjacent to each of the second low-frequency radiating elements 121a and 121b in the second low-frequency column 120=2, it is more preferable that the two first low-frequency radiating elements 111a and 111d are disposed at the head and tail of the first low-frequency column 110, respectively, so as to ensure better radiation performance of the first low-frequency column 110.
Similarly, referring to fig. 3 and 4 together, when the second low frequency column 120 may have second low frequency radiating elements (e.g., 111a, 111b, 111c in fig. 3, and 111a, 111b in fig. 4) not adjacent to each of the first low frequency radiating elements (e.g., 121d in fig. 3, 121a, and 121d in fig. 4) in the first low frequency column 110, second low frequency radiating elements (e.g., 111a, 111b, 111c in fig. 3, and 111a, 111b in fig. 4) not adjacent to each of the first low frequency radiating elements (e.g., 121d in fig. 3, 121a, and 121d in fig. 4) in the second low frequency column 120 are located at the head and/or tail of the second low frequency column 120. The arrangement of the second low frequency radiating elements not adjacent to each of the first low frequency radiating elements in the first low frequency column 110 at the head and/or tail of the second low frequency column 120 has a better effect on the low frequency beam convergence and improvement of the antenna electrical performance and can reduce the influence on the low frequency narrow beam array pattern. It is further preferable that the number of second low-frequency radiating elements not adjacent to each of the first low-frequency radiating elements in the first low-frequency column 110 be 2 or less. In this way, the convergence is improved, and the coverage effect of the low-frequency narrow beam array is better, so that the radiation indexes such as low-frequency gain and the like are prevented from being influenced by the too small number of the first low-frequency radiation units relative to the second low-frequency array 120 in the first low-frequency array 110. Referring to fig. 4, when the number of the second low-frequency radiating elements 121a and 121d not adjacent to each of the first low-frequency radiating elements 111a and 111b in the first low-frequency column 110=2, it is more preferable that the two first low-frequency radiating elements 121a and 121d are disposed at the head and tail of the second low-frequency column 120, respectively, so as to ensure better radiation performance of the first low-frequency column 120.
Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 5, when the first low-frequency column 110 has the first low-frequency radiating element 111a not adjacent to each of the second low-frequency radiating elements 121a, 121b, 121c in the second low-frequency column 120, the second low-frequency column 120 has the second low-frequency radiating element 121c not adjacent to each of the first low-frequency radiating elements 111a, 111b, 111c in the first low-frequency column 110, the first low-frequency radiating element 111a not adjacent to each of the second low-frequency radiating elements 121a, 121b, 121c in the second low-frequency column 120 is located at the head of the column, and the second low-frequency radiating element 121c not adjacent to each of the first low-frequency radiating elements 111a, 111b, 111c in the first low-frequency column 110 is located at the tail of the second low-frequency column 120. That is, the first low-frequency column 110 and the second low-frequency column 120 have a separate first low-frequency radiating element 111a and a separate second low-frequency radiating element 121c, respectively. In this way, the symmetry of the first low-frequency column 110 and the second low-frequency column 120 is advantageously improved, so that the symmetry of the radiation patterns of the first low-frequency column 110 and the second low-frequency column 120 is improved, and the bandwidth convergence, the antenna gain, the front-to-back ratio and the axial cross polarization of the half-power beam width can all reach better levels. It is further preferred that there are only 1 first low frequency radiating element not adjacent to each second low frequency radiating element in the second low frequency column 120, and that there are only 1 second low frequency radiating element not adjacent to each first low frequency radiating element in the first low frequency column 110. Therefore, the convergence is improved, the coverage effect of the low-frequency narrow beam array is good, and the influence on radiation indexes such as low-frequency gain and the like caused by the fact that the number of the first low-frequency radiation units and the second low-frequency radiation units is too small is avoided.

Therefore, the method can be conveniently applied to frequency bands of 0.9GHz, 1.8GHz and 2.6GHz, and high-speed data communication of TD-LTE/TD-LTE-Advanced/5G systems and the like is realized.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
