The scientific principle of application is as follows:
1. How the transmission function of the antenna is implemented is an antenna which is an essential part in a radio device. Generally, antennas are required as their transmission means for operation systems that use electromagnetic waves for transmitting information. Antennas can be divided into two types depending on the nature of the operation they are used to operate: a transmit antenna and a receive antenna. The former mainly performs transmission of electromagnetic waves, and the latter mainly works to receive electromagnetic wave signals. The transmitting antenna can convert the high-frequency current signal into electromagnetic wave in space and transmit the electromagnetic wave out, and the receiving antenna can complete a reciprocal process, and can convert the electromagnetic wave in space into high-frequency current signal and transmit the high-frequency current signal to the receiver. The antenna can also radiate electromagnetic waves directionally, and the electromagnetic waves are transmitted along a certain path. Because the antenna transmits signals in a reversible process, the same antenna can achieve two purposes. If the secondary antenna is used as a transmitting antenna, it also has the ability to act as a receiving antenna and vice versa. This is also the origin of the reciprocal theorem of the antenna;
2. The polarization problem generally specifies the spatial orientation of the electric field vector as the polarization direction of the antenna radiated electromagnetic waves. The space polarized wave has three expression forms, which are linear polarized wave, circular polarized wave and elliptical polarized wave. The linear polarized wave is a specific polarized wave in space, and the biggest characteristic of the linear polarized wave in space is that the orientation is fixed and unchanged, unlike other polarized waves. For circularly polarized waves and elliptically polarized waves, when the electric field vector changes with time, the shape of the pattern formed by the end points of the electric field vector on a plane perpendicular to the propagation direction is an ellipse, and such electromagnetic waves are called elliptically polarized waves. If formed in a circular shape, such electromagnetic waves are called circularly polarized waves. Both polarized waves have a left-handed and right-handed nature. In general, when an observer observes along the propagation direction of electromagnetic waves, the rotation direction of the vector end point is clockwise right-hand polarized waves, and conversely left-hand polarized waves. Two orthogonal linear polarized waves can be synthesized into a circular polarized wave when the amplitudes are equal and the phase difference is 90 degrees, and when one of the amplitudes or the phases does not meet the condition of synthesizing the circular polarized wave, the two orthogonal linear polarized waves are combined into an elliptical polarized wave;
3. Determination of parameters of the physical structure of a quadrifilar helix antenna a conventional quadrifilar helix antenna structure is shown in figure 1.
The whole antenna can be regarded as a structure composed of four spiral arms spirally rising to the same height around a certain rotation axis. Each individual spiral arm 2 is mλ/4 in length (M is a positive integer and λ is the operating wavelength). When M is an odd number, the spiral arm terminal is in an open terminal structure; when M is even, the spiral arm terminal is a terminal shorting structure. In order to ensure the normal operation of the antenna, four feed points of the antenna should be fed with the same amplitude and 90 degrees phase difference. The formula for determining the structural parameters of the antenna is:
Wherein L ax is the axial length (i.e. height) of the spiral arm; n is the number of turns of the spiral arm; l ele is the length of each spiral arm, the spiral arm length is λM/4, and there is a gap between A and M: when M is an odd number, a=1; when M is even, a=2: is the radius of the spiral arm rotating about the axis. Each parameter has an effect on the quadrifilar helix antenna configuration and also on the quadrifilar helix antenna radiation characteristics.
It is noted that relational terms such as first and second, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
