Description

智能天线、天线馈线***、天线通信***和AP 技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种智能天线、天线馈线***、天线通信***和接入点(Access Point,AP)。
背景技术
随着通信技术的不断发展,全向天线逐渐向智能天线发展。全向天线是将辐射能量在所有方向上均匀覆盖,而智能天线可以根据用户位置把辐射能量集中覆盖到用户所在方向。智能天线通常能够形成多种不同的波束形状。
智能天线在形成的波束形状不同时,智能天线的输入阻抗往往也是不同的。智能天线在其所能形成的多种不同的波束形状下所能取得的附加增益越大,智能天线的输入阻抗的变化也就越大。
然而,如果智能天线想把馈线传输来的功率信号辐射出去,而不发生反射,前提条件是智能天线的输入阻抗和馈线的特征阻抗相等。如果不相等,就会产生反射,且差别越大,产生的反射越大。为了保证功率信号的正常辐射,通常要求智能天线的输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差别在0.5倍-2倍之内,这样反射系数会在-10dB(分贝)以下。
上述情况下,是限制智能天线的输入阻抗处于馈线的特征阻抗的0.5倍-2倍的范围内。如此,不仅会限制智能天线在其所能形成的多种不同的波束形状下所能取得的附加增益,而且,在智能天线的输入阻抗发生变化时,智能天线的反射系数也会发生较大变化,从而智能天线的回波损耗将会发生较大变化,进而会导致智能天线的工作带宽较小。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种智能天线、天线馈线***、天线通信***和AP,可以解决相关技术中智能天线的工作带宽较小的问题。所述技术方案如下:
第一方面,提供了一种智能天线,所述智能天线包括:天线振子阵列和阻抗变换电路。
所述天线振子阵列的馈电端与所述阻抗变换电路的第一端连接,所述阻抗变换电路的第二端为所述智能天线的输入端,所述智能天线的输入端与馈线连接;所述天线振子阵列能够形成多种不同的波束形状,所述多种不同的波束形状下所述天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗不同;所述阻抗变换电路用于将所述天线振子阵列的馈电端的不同的输入阻抗在所述智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗,所述预设输入阻抗与所述馈线的特征阻抗之间的差值小于预设数值。
在本申请实施例中,本申请实施例中,在天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗变化较大的情况下,智能天线的输入端的输入阻抗也能维持不变,始终为预设输入阻抗。并且,由于预设输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差值小于预设数值,即智能天线的输入端的输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差别较小,所以智能天线可以将馈线发送来的功率信号完全辐射出去,而几乎不会发生反射,反射系数很低。
上述情况下,天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗的变化受到的限制很小,即天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗可以拥有较大的变化,如此可以使得天线振子阵列在其所能形成的多种不同的波束形状下可以取得较大的附加增益。并且,在天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗的变化较大的同时,智能天线的反射系数几乎不变且很小,从而智能天线的回波损耗几乎不变且很小,如此,可以有效保证智能天线的工作带宽较大。
其中,所述天线振子阵列包括第一振子、第二振子和开关;所述第一振子的一端与所述阻抗变换电路的第一端连接,所述第二振子的一端与所述开关的第一端连接,所述开关的第二端接地;在所述开关导通时所述天线振子阵列形成的波束形状与在所述开关关断时所述天线振子阵列形成的波束形状不同。

具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请的实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
图1是本申请实施例提供的一种智能天线的结构示意图。参见图1,智能天线包括:天线振子阵列1和阻抗变换电路2。
天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a与阻抗变换电路2的第一端2a连接,阻抗变换电路2的第二端2b为智能天线的输入端,智能天线的输入端与馈线连接;天线振子阵列1能够形成多种不同的波束形状,该多种不同的波束形状下天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗不同;阻 抗变换电路2用于将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗,预设输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差值小于预设数值。
具体地,馈线用于传输功率信号,馈线可以将功率信号通过阻抗变换电路2传输给天线振子阵列1,天线振子阵列1可以将传输过来的功率信号发射出去。
需要说明的是,天线振子阵列1能够形成的波束形状是指天线振子阵列1发射出来的电磁波在地球表面上形成的形状。天线振子阵列1能够形成多种不同的波束形状,即是指天线阵子阵列1能够改变其对空间上不同方向的辐射能力。一种可能的实施方式中,天线振子阵列1在空间上所有方向的辐射能力相同,即天线振子阵列1可以将辐射能量在所有方向上均匀覆盖,此时天线振子阵列1为全向模式;或者,天线振子阵列1在空间上某一方向的辐射能力可以高于在其它方向的辐射能力,即天线振子阵列1可以将辐射能量较为集中地覆盖在某一方向上,此时天线振子阵列1为定向模式。
另外,天线振子阵列1形成的波束形状不同时,天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗也将是不同的。天线振子阵列1在其所能形成的多种不同的波束形状下所能取得的附加增益越大,天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗的变化也就越大。
需要说明的是,预设输入阻抗和预设数值均可以预先进行设置,且预设输入阻抗可以设置的与馈线的特征阻抗非常接近,即预设数值可以设置的非常小。例如,预设数值可以为大于或等于0且小于0.5倍的馈线的特征阻抗的任一数值。
另外,阻抗变换电路2可以将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗,如此,在天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗的变化非常大的情况下,在智能天线的输入端看来,智能天线的输入端的输入阻抗却是基本不变。
值得说明的是,本申请实施例中,在天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗变化较大的情况下,智能天线的输入端的输入阻抗也能维持不变,始终为预设输入阻抗。并且,由于预设输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差值小于预设数值,即智能天线的输入端的输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差别较小,所以智能天线可以将馈线发送来的功率信号完全辐射出去,而几乎不会发生反射,反射系数很低。
上述情况下,天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗的变化受到的限制很小,即天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗可以拥有较大的变化,如此可以使得天线振子阵列1在其所能形成的多种不同的波束形状下可以取得较大的附加增益。并且,在天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗的变化较大的同时,智能天线的反射系数几乎不变且很小,从而智能天线的回波损耗几乎不变且很小,如此,可以有效保证智能天线的工作带宽较大。
其中,参见图2,天线振子阵列包括第一振子11、第二振子12和开关13;第一振子11的一端与阻抗变换电路2的第一端2a连接,第二振子11的一端与开关13的第一端13a连接,开关13的第二端13b接地;在开关13导通时天线振子阵列1形成的波束形状与在开关13关断时天线振子阵列1形成的波束形状不同。
一种可能的实施方式中,在开关13导通时,天线振子阵列1可以为定向模式,在开关13关断时,天线振子阵列1可以为全向模式。
需要说明的是,在开关13导通时,第二振子12与第一振子11发生电磁感应,从而在第二振子12上产生感应电流;在开关13关断时,第二振子12与第一振子11不发生电磁感应,从而在第二振子12上不会产生感应电流。第二振子12产生感应电流时会对第一振子11发射的电磁波产生反射或吸引的作用,从而当第二振子12产生感应电流时第一振子11会形成一 种波束形状,当第二振子12不产生感应电流时第一振子11会形成另一种波束形状。如此,天线振子阵列1能够形成两种不同的波束形状,且在这两种不同的波束形状下,天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗不同。
进一步地,天线振子阵列1还可以包括底板;第一振子11和第二振子12安装在底板上。
需要说明的是,第一振子11和第二振子12在底板上的安装位置不同,且第一振子11和第二振子12可以以预设的排列方式安装在底板上,如第一振子11和第二振子12可以以平行排列的方式安装在底板上,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
进一步地,参见图3,天线振子阵列1还可以包括开关控制电路14;开关控制电路14与开关13的控制端13c连接,开关控制电路14用于控制开关13导通或关断。
需要说明的是,开关13的导通和关断分别对应天线振子阵列1所能形成的两种不同的波束形状。本申请实施例中可以通过开关控制电路14控制开关13导通或关断,继而控制天线振子阵列1形成两种不同的波束形状,来满足使用需求。
一种可能的实现方式中,阻抗变换电路2可以由传输线构成,该传输线可以为共面微带传输线、微波槽线、平行双线、微带线或带状线等,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
当阻抗变换电路2由传输线构成时,阻抗变换电路2可以按照公式
Figure PCTCN2019079661-appb-000002
将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗,当然,阻抗变换电路2也可以按照其它公式将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
其中,Z 1为预设输入阻抗,Z 2为天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗,R为馈线的特征阻抗,j为虚部单位,β为天线振子阵列1的电磁波自由空间波数,a为该传输线的长度。天线振子阵列1的电磁波自由空间波数为2π的自由空间距离内所包含的波长数,可以用2π除以天线振子阵列1发射的电磁波的波长得到。
需要说明的是,阻抗变换电路2除了可以由传输线构成外,也可以由其他器件构成,如可以由电感或电容等中的至少一个构成,只要阻抗变换电路2能够实现其将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗的作用即可。当阻抗变换电路2的构成不同时,阻抗变换电路2可以按照不同的公式将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在本申请实施例中,智能天线包括天线振子阵列1和阻抗变换电路2。天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a与阻抗变换电路2的第一端2a连接,阻抗变换电路2的第二端2b为智能天线的输入端,智能天线的输入端与馈线连接。天线振子阵列1能够形成多种不同的波束形状,该多种不同的波束形状下天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗不同。阻抗变换电路2用于将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为预设输入阻抗,预设输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差值小于预设数值。本申请实施例中,在天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的输入阻抗变化较大的情况下,智能天线的输入端的输入阻抗也能维持不变,始终为预设输入阻抗。由于预设输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差值小于预设数值,即智 能天线的输入端的输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差别较小,所以智能天线可以将馈线发送的功率信号完全辐射出去,而几乎不会产生反射,反射系数很低。如此,在天线振子阵列1可以在其所能形成的多种不同的波束形状下取得较大的附加增益的同时,智能天线的回波损耗几乎不变且很小,从而可以有效保证智能天线的工作带宽较大。
下面结合具体的实例对本申请实施例提供的智能天线的技术效果进行说明。
为了保证功率信号的正常辐射,通常要求智能天线的输入阻抗与馈线的特征阻抗之间的差别在0.5倍-2倍之内,这样反射系数会在-10dB以下。
相关技术中,智能天线仅包括天线振子阵列,天线振子阵列的馈电端为智能天线的输入端,智能天线的输入端与馈线连接,因而天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗需要处于馈线的特征阻抗的0.5倍-2倍的范围内。假设天线振子阵列能够形成两种不同的波束形状,为了使得天线振子阵列在这两种不同的波束形状下取得较大的附加增益,往往会将天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗分别设置为馈线的特征阻抗的2倍和0.5倍。这种情况下,智能天线的输入端的输入阻抗变化较大,智能天线的反射系数也变化较大,从而智能天线的回波损耗也会发生较大变化。具体地,在如图4所示的回波损耗曲线图(S11曲线图)中,天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗为馈线的特征阻抗的2倍时的S11曲线(实线)与天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗为馈线的特征阻抗的0.5倍时的S11曲线(虚线)不重合,前者偏高频,后者偏低频,此时智能天线的工作带宽为二者交集,为0.9GHz(吉赫)。
而在本申请实施例中,智能天线包括天线振子阵列1和阻抗变换电路2,天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a与阻抗变换电路2的第一端2a连接,阻抗变换电路2的第二端2b为智能天线的输入端,智能天线的输入端与馈线连接。假设天线振子阵列能够形成两种不同的波束形状,且假设在这两种不同的波束形状下天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗分别为馈线的特征阻抗的2倍和0.5倍。这种情况下,由于阻抗变换电路2可以将天线振子阵列1的馈电端1a的不同的输入阻抗在智能天线的输入端变换为与馈线的特征阻抗非常接近的预设输入阻抗,所以智能天线的反射系数几乎不变且很小,从而智能天线的回波损耗几乎不变且很小。具体地,在如图5所示的S11曲线图中,天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗为馈线的特征阻抗的2倍时的S11曲线(实线)与天线振子阵列的馈电端的输入阻抗为馈线的特征阻抗的0.5倍时的S11曲线(虚线)几乎重合,智能天线的工作带宽达到了1.4GHz。相比于相关技术中智能天线的工作带宽,本申请实施例提供的智能天线的工作带宽得到了显著的提升。
图6是本申请实施例提供的一种天线馈线***的结构示意图。参见图6,该天线馈线***可以包括馈线和上述实施例中所述的智能天线,智能天线的输入端与馈线连接。智能天线可以接收馈线发送的功率信号并将该功率信号辐射出去。
图7是本申请实施例提供的一种天线通信***的结构示意图。参见图7,该天线通信***可以包括发信机、馈线和上述实施例中所述的智能天线,馈线连接在发信机与智能天线之间。发信机可以将功率信号通过馈线发送给智能天线,智能天线可以将该功率信号辐射出去。
本申请实施例还提供了一种AP,该AP可以包括上述实施例中所述的智能天线。例如,该AP可以包括上述实施例中所述的天线馈线***,或者可以包括上述实施例中所述的天线通信***。
以上所述为本申请提供的实施例,并不用以限制本申请,凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
