According to the slot antenna of the embodiment of the application, the plurality of slot units 11 are spirally arranged along the surface of the metal layer 10, so that the whole waveguide slot structure can be fed from the first feed port 13 and the second feed port 14 by means of the same feed structure, and single feed is realized to simplify the antenna structure; the liquid crystal layer 20 is disposed between the metal layer 10 and the metal ground layer 30, the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal layer 20 changes after the metal layer 10 and the metal ground layer 30 are energized, and the phase of the slit cell 11 is controlled by changing the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal layer 20.

As shown in fig. 2, the slit unit 11 is a cross-shaped slit opened on the metal layer 10. The vertical length L1 and the transverse length L2 of the cross-shaped slot are both one-half of the operating wavelength. As shown in fig. 2, if the distance between the metal connectors 12 at both sides of the cross-shaped gap is a, that is, the width of the metal cavity formed by the metal connectors 12 is a, the transverse electric wave TE in the metal cavity is10Has a wavelength of 2a, and is to convert the transverse electric wave TE in the metal cavity10Converted into the radiated electromagnetic wave, the vertical length L1 and the transverse length L2 of the cross-shaped slot are both a.

In addition, the slit unit 11 is an elongated slit opened on the metal layer 10, and the length of the elongated slit is also one half of the operating wavelength. Similarly, the elongated slits may be disposed parallel to the horizontal direction, may be disposed perpendicular to the horizontal direction, or may be disposed inclined to either side with respect to the horizontal direction.
As shown in fig. 2, in the radial direction of the metal layer 10, the distance between two adjacent slit units 11 is d, and d is greater than three-quarters of the operating wavelength. It can be understood that the larger the spacing d between two adjacent slot elements 11, the better the waveguide isolation will be, thereby enabling a wide-angle beam sweep.
In one embodiment, the first feeding port 13 and the second feeding port 14 are respectively connected to the waveguide slot structure through a microstrip-waveguide transition structure. The TE mode and the TM mode of the excitation metal cavity need waveguide feed, and the first feed port 13 and the second feed port 14 respectively adopt microstrip line feed, and therefore, a microstrip waveguide conversion structure is arranged between the first feed port 13 and the starting end of the first row of slot units 11 to convert a traveling wave into a waveguide, thereby realizing impedance matching. Similarly, another microstrip-waveguide transition structure is arranged between the second feed port 14 and the end of the fourth row of slot units 11, so that impedance matching is realized.

As shown in fig. 2, in each row of metal connectors 12, the distance between two adjacent metal connectors 12 is less than one tenth of the operating wavelength, so that a closed metal cavity can be formed, and the isolation of the slot antenna is improved. The metal connecting member 12 may be circular, square or other geometric shapes, which is not limited in this application.
As shown in fig. 1, the slot antenna further includes a dielectric layer 40, the dielectric layer 40 is disposed between the metal layer 10 and the liquid crystal layer 20 and between the liquid crystal layer 20 and the metal ground layer 30, and the plurality of metal connectors 12 penetrate through the dielectric layer 40. According to the slot antenna provided by the embodiment of the application, the dielectric layers 40 are arranged between the metal layer 10 and the liquid crystal layer 20 and between the liquid crystal layer 20 and the metal ground layer 30, so that the loss of millimeter wave signals in the inward transmission process from the metal layer 10 is reduced.
Optionally, the dielectric layer 40 is made of a high frequency dielectric. Specifically, the dielectric layer 40 is made of a high-frequency dielectric material produced by Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC), such as Ferro A6M or Ferro A6S.
The liquid crystal layer 20 includes two alignment layers 21 and a liquid crystal material 22 filled between the two alignment layers 21. The voltage-adjustable dielectric constant range of the liquid crystal layer 20 is Er 1-Er 2, wherein Er1 is the minimum value of the adjustable dielectric constant, and Er2 is the maximum value of the adjustable dielectric constant. According to the slot antenna provided by the embodiment of the application, the initial arrangement mode of the liquid crystal material 22 fixed by the two alignment layers 21 is adopted, so that the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal layer 20 is fixed at the initial minimum value Er 1. Optionally, the liquid crystal layer 20 is made of a liquid crystal material with low loss of millimeter wave band.
For ease of understanding, the principle of the slot antenna according to the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to fig. 3.
As shown in FIG. 2, the distance d between two adjacent cross-shaped slits is a distance, and when the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 20 is changed, the phase shift speed β of the liquid crystal layer 20 is changed, so as to change the phase difference Δ φ between two slit units, and the control range of the phase difference Δ φ is determined by the minimum value Er1 and the maximum value Er2 of the dielectric constant of the liquid crystal layer 20. The influence factor of the phase shift speed β is determined by the type of liquid crystal material, which is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
Specifically, the phase difference is calculated by the following formula:
Δφ=β×d
as shown in fig. 2, the slot elements 11 are cross-shaped slots, four slot elements 11 located in the leftmost row form a left scanning basic unit, and when power is fed from the first power feeding port 13, the beam phases of the four slot elements 11 from bottom to top in the left scanning basic unit are arranged from small to large, and the beam scanning range of the slot antenna corresponds to the scanning range of the beam 1 to the beam 5 in fig. 3; when feeding is performed from the second feeding port 14, the beam phases of the four slot elements 11 from top to bottom in the left scanning basic element are arranged from small to large, and the beam scanning range thereof corresponds to the scanning range of the beams 5 to 9 in fig. 3.
