Description

[DESCRIPTION] [INVENTION TITLE] ARRAY ANTENNA [Technical Field]
The present invention relates to an array antenna in which radiating elements are arranged in series.
[Background Art! A printed micro strip type patch array antenna has been mainly used for a radar detector for a 24 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band, in this case, for special characteristics of an antenna such as increasing a gain of the antenna or lowering a side lobe level (SLL), a complicated structure such as Chebyshev polynomial, binomial, and Taylor series needs to be applied to an array antenna. In this case, a complicated feeding circuit is required for feeding each radiating element. There is a disadvantage in that it takes long time to optimize a design and performance of the array antenna having the complicated feeding circuit.
In order to solve the above problems due to the complexity of the design, the patch array antenna for the 24 GHz band is designed so that a size and a phase of current is uniformly input to each patch. However, the array antenna in which the size and phase of the current input to the patch is uniform exhibits the high side lobe levei characteristics, so a detection area is very non-uniform. In addition, if the detection region of the radar detector is very narrow, the side lobe levei of a beam generated from the array antenna is increased, thus it is difficult to generate a beam having a narrow and uniform width by a radar algorithm alone.
[DISCLOSURE] [Technical Problem]
The present invention has been made in an effort to provide an array antenna having a high gain and Sow side lobe level characteristics.
[Technical Solution]
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an array antenna, including: at least one radiator including a plurality of radiating elements and a feeding line connecting between the plurality of radiating elements; and a power divider dividing power fed from the feeder into the at least one radiator at a first ratio.
The first ratio may be determined based on an array function related to a side lobe level in a first direction which is a right direction to a direction in which the plurality of radiating elements are arranged. A conductance of the first radiating element located at a center of the radiator among the plurality of radiating elements may be larger than that of at least one second radiating element located at an edge of the radiator among the plurality of radiating elements.
The conductance of the plurality of radiating elements may be reduced at a second ratio in a second direction from the first radiating element toward the at least one second radiating element.
The second ratio may be a ratio determined based on the array function related to the side lobe level in the second direction.
The array function may be a chebyshev array function. A size of the plurality of radiating elements may be reduced at a second ratio in a second direction from the first radiating element toward the at least one second radiating element.
The second ratio may be a ratio of feeding coefficients determined based on an array factor function of the array antenna and an array function related to a side lobe level in the second direction.
The feeding coefficient may be a coefficient which is determined by comparing a coefficient of the array factor function with a coefficient of the array function.
The at least one radiator may further include a dielectric material substrate printed in a patch form.
The feeding line may control a phase of current input to the plurality of radiating elements.
The feeding line may connect between the plurality of radiating elements in series.
The power divider may match an impedance of the at Seast one radiator with the feeder.
The power divider may include: at least one first power divider providing the power divided at the first ratio to the at least one radiator; and a second power divider providing the power provided from the feeder to the at least one first power divider at the same size.
An impedance of the first power divider may be determined depending on the first ratio and a predetermined impedance constant.
[Advantageous Effects]
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to perform the intensive monitoring on the specific detection region by sharply forming the beam based on the high gain and the narrow 3dB radiation angle characteristics (HPBW3dB=4.0°). In addition, it is possible to ensure the uniform detection performance on the horizontal and vertical directions by implementing the performance less than the low side lobe level (-20 Db) in the horizontal and vertical directions based on the chebyshev array function. In the array antenna 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the beam having various slopes in an omindirectbn (boresight) can be formed by adjusting the phase of the current input to each radiating element and the number of radiating elements can be adjusted, thereby controlling the width of the beam. In addition, the array antenna can easily feed each radiating element based on various functions and has the printed structure, so the array antenna can be advantageous in mass production.
