Since the SMA connector 4 has various forms, it can be appropriately adjusted according to the use requirement.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, h is the distance between the antenna array 3 and the reflective backboard 2, and the value of the distance can affect the standing wave ratio of the antenna; t is the width of the feed network 302; l is the length of the antenna element 301, for adjusting the resonant frequency; w is the width of the antenna array element 301, and is used for adjusting the standing wave ratio of the antenna; the values of H, t, W and L can be determined according to the use requirement through HFSS simulation design.

Example 1
As shown in fig. 2, the telemetry and direction finding integrated antenna of the dual antenna array 3 is formed by processing a whole aluminum plate with the thickness of 2mm to obtain the whole antenna array element 301 and the whole feed network 302, fixing the whole antenna array element and the whole feed network by using a support column 5 and an SMA connector 4, transmitting energy to the feed network 302 at a feed point 303 through the SMA connector 4, and transmitting the energy to the antenna array element 301 by the feed network 302 and radiating outwards to realize the telemetry function; in addition, the two antenna arrays 3 arranged laterally can perform direction finding in the horizontal direction. According to the antenna array pattern shown in fig. 4, the antenna array gain of the present embodiment can reach 19dBi. As shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, which are respectively a sum pattern, a difference pattern and a sum-difference pattern of the antenna of the present embodiment, it is clear from the figures that the direction-finding sensitivity of the present embodiment is excellent as the power changes corresponding to each direction deviated from 1 °. In summary, the integrated antenna of this embodiment can simultaneously give consideration to the telemetry and the sensitive direction finding functions of high gain, and the antenna can increase the gain of 3dBi by feeding through two feeder lines.
Example two
As shown in fig. 8, the telemetry and direction finding integrated antenna of the four-antenna array 3 is formed by processing a whole aluminum plate with the thickness of 0.5mm to obtain the whole antenna array element 301 and the whole feed network 302, fixing the whole antenna array element and the whole feed network by using the support column 5 and the SMA connector 4, transmitting energy to the feed network 302 at the feed point 303 through the SMA connector 4, and transmitting the energy to the antenna array element 301 by the feed network 302 and radiating outwards to realize the telemetry function. In the embodiment, the two antenna arrays 3 arranged in the transverse direction can determine the horizontal direction through direction finding, and the two antenna arrays 3 in the pitching direction can determine the pitching angle through direction finding, so that the direction finding of the horizontal direction and the pitching direction is realized simultaneously; meanwhile, each antenna array 3 of the embodiment can realize a telemetry function, so that telemetry and direction finding integrated antennas are realized. By feeding through four feeders, the antenna can increase the gain by 6 dBi.
The arrangement of the antenna array 3 in the present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments described above: (1) In the horizontal direction finding, in the first embodiment, an arrangement of telemetry and horizontal direction finding is described, and the antenna array 3 in fig. 2 may be arranged with more groups along the lateral direction, where the number of groups is determined according to the coverage area required; (2) Pitching direction finding, as shown in fig. 9, the antenna arrays 3 are arranged longitudinally, so that the direction finding of the pitching direction can be realized, and the number of groups of the antenna arrays 3 can be determined according to the required coverage area; (3) The two-dimensional horizontal and pitching direction finding device can be arranged as described in the second embodiment of fig. 8 or the two-dimensional vertical and pitching direction finding device can be arranged as shown in fig. 10, and the two-dimensional vertical and pitching direction finding device can meet the direction finding requirements of the two-dimensional horizontal and pitching directions only in a single-row multi-column or single-column multi-row arrangement mode similar to the embodiment of fig. 10 with different coverage angles. The positions of the different antenna arrays 3 are different, and the phase information of the signals received by each antenna array 3 is different for different wave directions, so that the direction finding effect is achieved according to the wave direction of the received signal phase difference information Jie Suanchu of the antenna array 3.
The integrated antenna can be arbitrarily assembled according to the use requirement, namely the telemetry requirement and the direction finding range requirement, and the antenna gain is improved through the assembly on one hand, and the direction finding range is increased on the other hand. Each antenna element 301 needs to be determined in length and width through HFSS simulation, so that the resonant frequency covers a preset frequency band, and the length and width of each antenna element 301 are equivalent to about half a wavelength. In addition, in addition to using aluminum as the reflective back plate 2, the antenna array element 301, and the feed network 302 in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, other solid metal materials such as an iron plate, a steel plate, or a copper plate may be used, and in the embodiment, the thickness of the solid metal material selected may be selected according to the needs, and may be any thickness of 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, or 4mm, because the aluminum plate is inexpensive and the processing is convenient as a preferred scheme.
In addition, for aesthetic and weight reduction, the antenna arrays 3 may be fixed directly above the same reflection back plate 2, and a plurality of antenna arrays 3 may share one reflection back plate 2.
The telemetry and direction finding integrated antenna has the functions of increasing communication distance and multidimensional direction finding by telemetry through the array arrangement of the antenna array 3, has higher gain than a microstrip array antenna and other types of antennas, and widens the bandwidth by 2-3 times. In addition, the expensive large-size PCB is not required to be processed, only the thinner metal plate is adopted for simple machining, the processing cost is reduced to the greatest extent, welding is not required in the processing process, assembly and simplicity are realized, and a series of problems of complicated assembly and debugging, large weight, large size, high cost, narrow bandwidth, inconvenience in installation and carrying and the like are solved.
