背景技术Background technique

近年来,无线通信技术得到飞速发展,天线作为一种用来发射或接收无线电波的部件,在无线通信系统中起到了举足轻重的作用。目前无线通信系统发展的重要方向是大容量、多功能、超宽带,为满足这一需求,同一平台上搭载的天线数量相应增加,而天线数目的增加必将导致系统成本、重量、体积的增加,同时也带来了电磁兼容方面的问题。为了克服这种束缚,使整个通信系统性能尽可能少地受到天线的制约,可重构天线应运而生。In recent years, wireless communication technology has developed rapidly, and antenna, as a component used to transmit or receive radio waves, plays a pivotal role in wireless communication systems. At present, the important direction of wireless communication system development is large capacity, multi-function, and ultra-wideband. In order to meet this demand, the number of antennas mounted on the same platform will increase accordingly, and the increase in the number of antennas will inevitably lead to an increase in system cost, weight, and volume. , but also brought about electromagnetic compatibility issues. In order to overcome this constraint and make the performance of the entire communication system less constrained by the antenna, reconfigurable antennas emerge as the times require.

方向图可重构天线因其多样化的辐射方向图受到广泛地关注。方向图可重构天线大多通过在天线辐射体或天线馈电结构中引入MEMS开关、二极管开关或场效应管开关等来改变天线地方向图,容易实现大角度地波束偏转。然而,受限于过于离散的波束,方向图可重构天线在其覆盖范围内的增益波动往往较大,许多设计甚至会存在一些覆盖盲区,这使得方向图可重构天线地应用受到极大的限制。Pattern reconfigurable antennas have attracted extensive attention due to their diverse radiation patterns. Pattern reconfigurable antennas mostly change the antenna pattern by introducing MEMS switches, diode switches, or FET switches into the antenna radiator or antenna feed structure, which can easily achieve large-angle beam deflection. However, limited by the overly discrete beam, the gain fluctuation of the pattern reconfigurable antenna in its coverage area is often large, and many designs even have some coverage holes, which greatly limits the application of the pattern reconfigurable antenna. limits.

The switchable director placed close to the dielectric resonator can shift the field distribution in the medium, which is beneficial to ensure a good front-to-back ratio of each state, and is also beneficial to the miniaturization of the antenna. The invention uses the dielectric resonator as the radiation unit, and the radiation efficiency of the antenna is higher than that of the reconfigurable metal antenna. The shape of the dielectric resonator is cylindrical, and the working mode is TE 01δ mode; therefore, the consistency of the antenna pattern in different states is good. The dielectric resonator is a dielectric block with a single dielectric constant, which is easy to process; the relative dielectric constant is about 20, which is relatively high, which is conducive to obtaining a smaller antenna size.
