Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of antennas, in particular to a millimeter wave tightly-coupled wide-bandwidth scanning angle phased array antenna unit.
Background
At present, with the rapid development of wireless communication technology, especially the continuous promotion of fields such as mobile communication, satellite communication, radar communication, etc., the demand for high-performance and high-reliability antenna systems is significantly increased. The wireless communication needs the antenna to have wider frequency band characteristics so as to adapt to signal transmission of various different frequency bands, needs the antenna to have high gain and directivity so as to realize longer transmission distance and higher transmission rate, and needs the antenna to be capable of scanning at a large angle so as to realize larger coverage area. Compared with the traditional antenna system, the phased array antenna has the advantages and characteristics of strong directivity, high scanning speed, strong anti-interference performance, high precision, strong flexibility and the like, and therefore has wide application prospect in a plurality of application fields. However, the conventional phased array antenna system has the problems of mutually independent antenna elements, low modularization degree, large mutual interference among the antenna elements and the like, and cannot meet the requirements of high performance and high reliability. Therefore, researches on tightly coupled phased array antennas have been made, and the main idea is to improve the accuracy and performance of the antenna array by making the coupling manner between the antenna elements more compact. Compared with the traditional phased array antenna, the tightly coupled phased array antenna units are closer in coupling mode, and the mutual influence of the antenna units is larger, so that the influence of the phase and amplitude adjustment of the antenna units on the radiation direction is more obvious, and higher precision and accuracy are realized. The method utilizes the idea of coupling between units, avoids complex decoupling technology, improves the antenna performance and reduces the design difficulty. In addition, the space between the tightly coupled phased array antennas is smaller, so that the grating lobe problem during large-angle scanning is avoided, the caliber of the antenna array surface is reduced, the manufacturing cost is lower, the size is smaller, and the installation and maintenance are facilitated.
Millimeter wave communication is a key push technology for 5G application nowadays by virtue of the abundant spectrum. Millimeter wave bands have extremely wide bandwidths which are 10 times of the total bandwidths of the frequency bands below microwaves, frequency resources are increasingly tensioned nowadays, and millimeter wave communication is attractive. Second, millimeter wave antenna arrays have narrower radiation beams that perform better in resolution, i.e., in resolving objects that are close in distance. Besides, millimeter wave communication has higher signal transmission quality, on one hand, because the interference sources of the high frequency band are few, the millimeter wave channel is very stable and reliable and is equivalent to the transmission quality of an optical cable, on the other hand, communication signals can be blocked to a certain extent in the free space transmission process, such as sand dust and smoke, signals of the common frequency band can be seriously influenced to cause interruption, but signals of the millimeter wave band can penetrate through substances, and the signal quality is kept good and is free from attenuation. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so that the wavelength in the millimeter wave band will be much smaller than the wavelength in the microwave band, and the size of the electronic device is proportional to the wavelength, that is, the electronic device operating in the millimeter wave band will have a small physical volume, thereby achieving miniaturization. Based on the above advantages of millimeter wave communication, in recent years, with the increasing amount of mobile communication traffic, the millimeter wave band has become a hot spot for the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication.
It can be seen that millimeter wave tightly coupled wide bandwidth scanning angle phased array antennas will be a research hotspot in the future communications era and future mobile architecture.
