图17a为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布天线单元10的天线模组100第28号单个天线单元10在Phi=0°平面内,27.5GHz的增益方向图;图17b为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布天线单元10的天线模组100第28号单个天线单元10在Phi=90°平面内,27.5GHz的增益方向图。从图17a和图17b中可以看出,第28号单个天线单元10具有宽度大于90°(θ:-45°~+45°)的半功率波束宽度和6.18dBi的主波束增益值。
图18a为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布的各天线单元10的天线模组100在24.25GHz、各天线单元10具有相差时,Phi=0°平面内的增益曲线图。图18b为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布的各天线单元10的天线模组100在24.25GHz、各天线单元10具有相差时,Phi=90°平面内的增益曲线图。图18a和图18b中天线模组100相应的天线单元10间相差分别为0°,+30°,+60°,+90°,+120°和+160°,图18a和图18b只显示了θ角为正值的增益曲线,θ角为负值的增益曲线与θ角为正值的增益曲线相对于θ=0°对称显示。从图中可以看出,随着波束逐渐偏离0°时,增益的峰值会逐渐降低,这在相控阵天线中是常见的现象,例如,在Phi=0°平面内,波束从θ角为0°转向60°,天线增益从22.6dBi降至19.75dBi(增益损耗2.85dBi),在Phi=90°平面内,波束从θ角为0°转向60°,天线增益从22.6dBi降至19.72dBi(增益损耗2.88dBi)。
图19a为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布的各天线单元10的天线模组100在26GHz、各天线单元10具有相差时,Phi=0°平面内的增益曲线图。图19b为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布的各天线单元10的天线模组100在26GHz、各天线单元10具有相差时,Phi=90°平面内的增益曲线图。图19a和图19b中天线模组100相应的天线单元10间相差分别为0°,+30°,+60°,+90°,+120°和+160°,图19a和图19b只显示了θ角为正值的增益曲线,θ角为负值的增益曲线与θ角为正值的增益曲线相对于θ=0°对称显示。从图中可以看出,随着波束逐渐偏离0°时,增益的峰值会逐渐降低,这在相控阵天线中是常见的现象,例如,在Phi=0°平面内,波束从θ角为0°转向60°,天线增益从23.28dBi降至19.82dBi(增益损耗3.46dBi),在Phi=90°平面内,波束从θ角为0°转向60°,天线增益从23.28dBi降至19.73dBi(增益损耗3.55dBi)。
图20a为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布的各天线单元10的天线模组100在27.5GHz、各天线单元10具有相差时,Phi=0°平面内的增益曲线图。图20b为本发明实施例提供的10*10阵列排布的各天线单元10的天线模组100在27.5GHz、各天线单元10具有相差时,Phi=90°平面内的增益曲线图。图20a和图20b中天线模组100相应的天线单元10间相差分别为0°,+30°,+60°,+90°,+120°和+160°,图20a和图20b只显示了θ角为正值的增益曲线,θ角为负值的增益曲线与θ角为正值的增益曲线相对于θ=0°对称显示。从图中可以看出,随着波束逐渐偏离0°时,增益的峰值会逐渐降低,这在相控阵天线中是常见的现象,例如,在Phi=0°平面内,波束从θ角为0°转向60°,天线增益从23.72dBi降至18.43dBi(增益损耗5.29dBi),在Phi=90°平面内,波束从θ角为0°转向60°,天线增益从23.72dBi降至18.2dBi(增益损耗5.52dBi)。
本发明还提供一种电子设备,包括本发明提供的上述的天线模组100。
以上的仅是本发明的实施方式,在此应当指出,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明创造构思的前提下,还可以做出改进,但这些均属于本发明的保护范围。
