Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of an antenna array according to an embodiment of the utility model; fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a feeding network according to an embodiment of the utility model. The antenna array 100 includes a plurality of microstrip antennas 10 and a feeding network 20, and the array antenna 100 can realize a narrow-beam, high-gain, directional radiation characteristic. The detailed structure of the microstrip antenna 10 is shown in fig. 1 and 2, and a plurality of microstrip antennas 10 may use a common dielectric substrate and a metal ground plate, which will not be described herein.

The antenna array 100 is used as a missile-borne antenna in a weapon system, and the specific structure thereof is shown in fig. 3 and 4, which will not be described herein.
A missile-borne antenna is a device mounted on a weapon for exchanging information between the weapon system and other systems. In a weapon system, because the flight attitude of the weapon is rolling and rotating, the directional pattern of the missile-borne antenna is non-directional, and the aperture surface of the missile-borne antenna is required to be completely conformal with the given shape of the missile body, so that the missile-borne antenna is ensured to have small interference on the air flow field near the weapon.
In the embodiment of the present invention, by using a low-profile microstrip antenna designed with a thin flexible printed board (including a dielectric substrate and a radiation panel, the thickness is generally within 1 mm), the metal skin of the aircraft (i.e. the weapon housing 200) can be used as a natural metal floor of the microstrip antenna, and thus a thin antenna array 100 can be formed. Therefore, the antenna array 100 can be easily bent to conform to the surface of the projectile, thereby meeting the radiation performance and conformal requirements of the missile-borne antenna.
As shown in fig. 5, by bending the antenna array 100 shown in fig. 3 to conform to the curvature radius of the projectile body, the microstrip antennas in the antenna array 100 are uniformly distributed around the weapon casing 200, and the omnidirectional radiation characteristic can be realized through the constant-amplitude in-phase feeding of the feeding network.
According to the utility model, by utilizing the resonance matching feeder line and the parasitic radiation piece, the section height is reduced by 62% compared with that of the traditional microstrip antenna by optimizing the size and the layout design of the resonance matching feeder line and the parasitic radiation piece on the premise of not increasing the thickness of the flexible printed board. Furthermore, the conformal requirements of the elastic bodies with various curvature radiuses are met through the characteristics of low section and low weight, and the elastic bodies have the characteristics of broadband and omnidirectional radiation.
Fig. 6a and 6b show standing wave ratio diagrams and directional diagrams of microstrip antennas according to embodiments of the present invention, which are based on the microstrip antennas shown in fig. 1 and 2, respectively, and the voltage standing wave ratio represents the radiation efficiency of the antenna, and the smaller the value of the voltage standing wave ratio, the higher the radiation efficiency; fig. 7a and 7b show standing wave ratio diagrams and patterns, respectively, of antenna arrays according to embodiments of the present invention, which are based on the antenna arrays shown in fig. 3 and 4.
As shown in fig. 6a, the voltage standing wave ratio within the designed frequency band range (about 2.20GHz to 2.24GHz) of the microstrip antenna is less than 2.0, which satisfies the engineering requirement; as can be seen from fig. 6b, the microstrip antenna is a directional antenna. Fig. 7a shows that the voltage standing wave ratio within the designed frequency band range of the antenna array (at least 2.205GHz to 2.235GHz) is less than 1.5, which is better than the engineering requirement; fig. 7b shows that the azimuth plane pattern gain fluctuation of the antenna array is lower than 1dB, and the antenna array has excellent omnidirectional radiation performance.

Obviously, many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the utility model and the practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the utility model and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
