Description

Ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle tight coupling phased array antenna
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, and particularly relates to an ultra-wide bandwidth scanning angle tight coupling phased array antenna.
Background
The phased array antenna is also called as an electric scanning antenna, has the advantages of high scanning speed and high stability, and can realize beam forming and multi-beam scanning. Phased array technology has therefore found widespread use in recent years with radar and communication systems in both airborne and space applications. In the research field of phased arrays, ultra wideband, particularly, phased array antenna design that can cover multiple operating frequency bands, is an important trend. In particular, in order to cope with increasingly complex battlefield environments of modern wars, military equipment platforms such as ships, warplanes are required to be equipped with, in addition to conventional sounding radars, such as weather radars, electronic countermeasure systems, and various communication and navigation devices. If narrowband antennas with different frequency bands are adopted to meet the information receiving and transmitting requirements of various systems, the number of antennas required on a platform can be increased sharply. The numerous radio systems not only occupy a large amount of space, but also increase the radar cross section of the ship, and simultaneously bring difficulty to system maintenance. The working frequency band of the ultra-wideband phased array antenna can cover multiple octaves, so that the ultra-wideband phased array antenna can be used for transmitting and receiving broadband or discrete signals by using a single array, and can realize a multifunctional common aperture, thereby saving the integration cost between the antenna and a system. In addition, the ultra-wideband phased array antenna can also improve the capacity and the speed of data transmission, realize a communication system for high-speed data transmission and improve the imaging resolution of the radar.
Conventional ultra wideband phased array antennas tend to have a relatively high profile, e.g., vivaldi arrays can achieve impedance bandwidths of 12 octaves, but up to 2-3 times lambda highhigh Wavelengths corresponding to the highest operating frequency) have limited their use in some carrier platforms where aerodynamic requirements are high. The high profile furthermore means that the longitudinal current along the slot line will be large, which will cause an increase in the cross-polarization component when the antenna is scanned. Especially in diagonal in-plane scanning, cross polarization components and even more than main polarization components are often observed, and stealth performance is seriously affected.
Munk in 2003 and Harris, U.S. disclose a model of a 28X 28 dual polarized array operating at 2-18GHz with a cross-section of only lambda above the floor low /10(λ low Is the lowest operating frequency). Unlike conventional phased array antenna design, the antenna is closely arranged in dipole units, and the inductance of the floor in low frequency is offset through the coupling capacitance between the dipole units, so that impedance bandwidth of several octaves is realized. The operating bandwidth of the antenna array can be much greater than the operating bandwidth of a single dipole. Such antennas are commonly referred to as tightly coupled phased array antennas. In the first generation of tightly coupled antenna patternIn the machine, the feed network adopts an external balun, a double-cylinder axis and a grounding shielding device. The external balun can generate differential output signals, and the double coaxial lines are used for feeding the dipole radiating arms, so that the grounding shielding device can protect and fix the feeder lines and can also play a role in avoiding common mode resonance. However, the external feed structure has the defects of high price, large volume and heavy weight, and is not beneficial to engineering application. To address this problem, the Volakis team proposed the concept of integrating balun in 2012 (tightly coupled dipole array with integrated balun). The design uses a planarized Marchand balun and is integrated with the dipole elements into one circuit board. In order to reduce the impedance matching difficulty from the coaxial line to the antenna aperture, the array unit is divided into two parts in the design, so that the aperture radiation impedance is halved, meanwhile, a Wilkinson power divider (Wilkinson power divider) is used for converting the input impedance of the coaxial end 50Ω into 100deg.OMEGA, and then the Marchand balun is used for completing the unbalanced-to-balanced conversion. The antenna in this array is printed on the same dielectric plate as the feed network and is therefore referred to as an integrated balun, close-coupled dipole array (Tightly Coupled Dipole Array with Integrated Balun, TCDA-IB). Finally, the antenna array can realize + -45 DEG scanning angle coverage in the frequency band of 0.68-5 GHz. The team then subsequently proposes a tightly coupled antenna array loaded with resistive loops and resistive patches to eliminate the short circuit by loading the resistive patches between the dipole and the floor. Through verification, the array can realize an impedance bandwidth of 13.3:1 (Active VSWR < 3.0), and the beam scanning range is +/-45 degrees. But due to the loading of the resistive sheet layer, the efficiency of the antenna is affected to a certain extent and the section reaches 1.1λ high And is not beneficial to engineering practical application. In order to further reduce the cross section of the close-coupled array, a design proposed by Kasemodel does not use any cover layer, but rather fills the space between the antenna and the floor with a ferrite material of high permeability. Reducing antenna profile height to lambda low The radiation efficiency of the array is thus greatly reduced/26. Moreover, ferrite materials are high in manufacturing cost and weight, and are hardly practically used.
In summary, the conventional ultra-wideband antenna has the problems of high profile and poor polarization purity. The novel tightly coupled antenna array can realize ultra-wideband scanning under the condition of lower profile, but also faces the difficulty of the design of a feed network and the problem of antenna efficiency.
