Embodiment
Now with reference to the accompanying drawings comparatively detailed description is carried out to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, a kind of novel phased array antenna, comprise antenna radiating element and phase shift feeding network, described antenna radiating element and described phase shift feeding network are all arranged on pcb board, described antenna radiating element array is arranged at the upper surface of pcb board, described phase shift feeding network is arranged at the intermediate layer of pcb board, described phase shift feeding network adopts liquid crystal as shift phase by voltage controlled material, every a line of antenna radiating element that described array is arranged or each row are connected by microstrip line, phase shift chip is connected with by microstrip line between every a line or each row microstrip line, the liquid crystal region of described phase shift feeding network evenly and be arranged at symmetrically in the array of antenna radiating element.
The lower surface of described pcb board is antenna stratum.
Described antenna radiating element array is often gone and/or is often classified as even number (the present embodiment is 6) antenna radiating element.
Described liquid crystal region is uniformly distributed to both sides centered by separated time in described even number of antenna radiation component.
Described phase shift chip is located on the middle separated time of described even number of antenna radiation component.
Antenna radiating element of the present invention, because this no-stop charging system operating frequency is higher, and equipment install thickness smaller, we adopt be microstrip line connect form, employing be external import sheet material.As can be seen from the figure each antenna radiating element is duplicate.Antenna port adopts SMA connector, is connected with the radio-frequency channel of radio frequency circuit board by RF cable.This ETC antenna system is our a kind of application mode, and the method for present patent application can adopt other form multiple.The number of antenna radiating element also can adjust according to the requirement of actual location.
As shown in Figure 1, phase shift feeding network of the present invention is fairly simple, and liquid crystal is directly embedded in the PCB of lamination as voltage-controlled material, by controlling the voltage of this liquid crystal material, thus changes the effect of phase place change, thus reaches the effect of phase shift.Can avoid after have employed this mode using more phase shifter, can reduce costs greatly.
Apply the operation principle of this antenna composition ETC antenna system:
As shown in Figure 2, ETC phased array antenna system mainly comprises antenna part (comprising phase-shift network), radio-frequency (RF) transmit-receive circuit and digital processing part.The phase-shift network of this programme have employed the phase shifter that new material (liquid crystal) makes, and greatly can reduce the complexity of system.This phase shifter, by adopting liquid crystal as shift phase by voltage controlled material, when signal is by after liquid crystal region, can produce the deflection of phase place.Together with this kind of liquid crystal phase shifter is applicable to being produced on pcb board, make laminar structure, be convenient to array antenna feed, fairly simple phase array network can be made into like this, the phase place of liquid crystal phase shifter can be changed by control voltage, thus the object of beam scanning can be reached.When wave beam can scan, the coverage of wave beam can be adjusted, also can be known final incoming wave sense by the wave beam comparing multiple directions, thus the object of phased array antenna can be reached.The receiving-transmitting chain that the antenna of this kind of mode needs is fairly simple, and only need a receiving-transmitting chain, signal processing mainly adopts FPGA process, and signal transacting promptly and accurately.In order to reach the precision of beam scanning, the precision of the system that ensure that effectively can be controlled by the following aspects.
Multiple antenna radiating element is have employed in Antenna Design link, and ensure that the mutual coupling between antenna radiating element is very little by the distance arranging antenna radiating element, thus do not exist between radiation component and mutually disturb, thus it is poor to obtain radio-frequency (RF) phse accurately between antenna radiating element.
Multi-antenna receive section is duplicate antenna radiating element, the independent performance index of these radiation components are duplicate, working frequency range is also the same, antenna radiating element spacing is closer, can be arranged on one piece of antenna plate (pcb board), its Main Function is that each antenna radiating element can both receive radiofrequency signal, and because antenna radiating element maintains a certain distance, the signal that therefore each antenna radiating element receives is that amplitude is identical but phase place is different.Antenna radiating element and phase shift feeding network are produced on one piece of circuit board, phase shift feeding network adopts the mode (as Fig. 1) of liquid crystal phase shift, liquid crystal is directly embedded in the PCB of lamination as voltage-controlled material, by controlling the voltage of this liquid crystal material, thus change the effect of phase place change, thus reach the effect of phase shift.Can avoid after have employed this mode using more phase shifter, can reduce costs greatly.A lot of radio frequency path can be reduced than the phase shift of numeric field, also can reduce costs.The phase shift of liquid crystal and traditional phase shifter chip are combined (this antenna had both comprised liquid crystal phase shift and had also comprised the phase shift that phase shift chip produces) just can be made into the antenna of the beam scanning of 2 dimensions, such radio frequency link only needs a radio frequency link, can greatly reduce costs.
The signal that antenna receives mainly is become intermediate-freuqncy signal through down-conversion by the radio-frequency (RF) receiving circuit in radio frequency link, and then through intermediate frequency amplifier circuit and AD sampling be exactly mainly in order to signal is amplified, then deliver to again in logic chip (fpga chip of digital processing part) after AD sampling, just can carry out follow-up signal transacting.
The digital signal that logic chip mainly exports by the radio frequency transmitter circuitry in radio frequency link becomes analog signal through DA conversion, then amplifies through intermediate frequency and become radiofrequency signal after up-conversion, is then gone out by aerial radiation.
Digital processing part is mainly responsible for the process receiving signal, and controls the scanning mode of wave beam, can be changed the phase place of liquid crystal phase shifter, thus can reach the object of beam scanning by control voltage.When wave beam can scan, the coverage of wave beam can be adjusted, know final incoming wave sense by the wave beam comparing multiple directions.
Above embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, but described content being only preferred embodiment of the present invention, can not being considered to for limiting practical range of the present invention.All equalizations done according to the scope of the invention change and improve, and all should still belong within this patent covering scope.
