The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art clearly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
阵列天线,尤其是小间距阵列天线,存在着互耦较强的问题。天线单元间的互耦在很大程度上影响天线单元及其阵列的匹配特性和空间辐射特性,具体表现为以下几点。Array antennas, especially small-pitch array antennas, have the problem of strong mutual coupling. The mutual coupling between the antenna elements affects the matching characteristics and spatial radiation characteristics of the antenna elements and their arrays to a large extent, and the specific manifestations are as follows.
(1)方向图:天线单元上的电流在互耦作用下其分布发生了改变,导致部分辐射能量进一步耦合到其他天线单元,其中一部分耦合能量被端接负载吸收而消耗,而另一部分能量又会再次辐射。所以,天线单元的方向图会发生畸变。此处所述的端接负载是天线馈源后端等效出来的一个参数;在画等效电路时,可将天线馈源的整个后端用一个电阻来代替,并可称为端接负载。(1) Pattern: The distribution of the current on the antenna unit changes under the action of mutual coupling, causing part of the radiated energy to be further coupled to other antenna units, part of the coupling energy is absorbed and consumed by the terminal load, and the other part of the energy is Will radiate again. Therefore, the pattern of the antenna unit will be distorted. The termination load mentioned here is a parameter equivalent to the back end of the antenna feed; when drawing the equivalent circuit, the entire back end of the antenna feed can be replaced by a resistor, which can be called a termination load .
(2)输入阻抗:受到互耦影响,阵列中天线单元的输入阻抗会发生改变,并与孤立环境中天线单元的输入阻抗不同,因此各阵列中天线单元的匹配情况不同并且匹配特性会受到影响。(2) Input impedance: Affected by mutual coupling, the input impedance of the antenna unit in the array will change, and is different from the input impedance of the antenna unit in an isolated environment, so the matching situation of the antenna unit in each array is different and the matching characteristics will be affected .
(3)增益:在天线单元中存在热损耗以及阻抗不匹配引起的反射损耗等,从而使得天线单元的辐射功率比发射功率要小,反射系数在互耦的作用下会发生变化,故天线单元的增益受到影响。(3) Gain: There is heat loss and reflection loss caused by impedance mismatch in the antenna unit, so that the radiation power of the antenna unit is smaller than the transmission power, and the reflection coefficient will change under the action of mutual coupling, so the antenna unit The gain is affected.
在相关技术中,解决互耦效应对天线单元的方向图、输入阻抗、增益等特性的影响方面,通常采用以下五种方法:缺陷地结构(DGS-Defected Ground Structure)去耦法、中和线法(NLT-Neutralization Line Technique)去耦法、带阻滤波去耦法、电磁带隙结构(EBG,Electromagnetic Band Gap)去耦法、超材料去耦法(MDT,Metamaterial Decoupling Technique)。In related technologies, the following five methods are usually used to solve the influence of mutual coupling effects on the antenna unit's pattern, input impedance, gain and other characteristics: DGS-Defected Ground Structure (DGS-Defected Ground Structure) decoupling method, neutralization line Method (NLT-Neutralization Line Technique) decoupling method, band-stop filter decoupling method, electromagnetic band gap structure (EBG, Electromagnetic Band Gap) decoupling method, metamaterial decoupling method (MDT, Metamaterial Decoupling Technique).
然而,上述方法都是针对天线单元间耦合消除方法的研究,未能对天线单元间耦合效应进行精确定义与控制。However, the above methods are all researches on the method of eliminating coupling between antenna elements, and fail to accurately define and control the coupling effect between antenna elements.
本申请提供了一种电子设备,该电子设备的阵列天线可以对天线单元间的耦合效应进行自定义,并通过耦合效应的设计实现对天线单元的辐射方向图的控制,例如拓宽扫描角、提升扫描增益、消除扫描盲区等。This application provides an electronic device.

In this case, the aforementioned "output port" can be used as an input port, and the aforementioned "input port" can be used as an output port, that is, the "input port" and "output port" in this application. The naming does not limit the attributes of the port. It should also be pointed out that the side of the transmission line with length d 1 in Fig. 2 also shows a transmission line with characteristic impedance Z 0 , but these two transmission lines correspond to the same wire in physical objects; similarly, the length is d 2 transmission line, a length d 3 of the first transmission line decoupling, the length d of the transmission line and the second decoupling length d 4 of the third transmission line 5 decoupling should also be understood as such. The characteristic impedance Z 3 and the characteristic impedance Z 4 can be set equal to the characteristic impedance Z 0.

It can be seen from the above embodiment that the power division ratio of the power divider can be obtained according to the strength of the initial isolation. Therefore, the obtained power division ratio and the characteristic impedance of the first transmission line 311 can be used to determine the second transmission line 312 and the third transmission line.

因此,由上述可知,通过预设耦合度可以获知所要求的功分器的功分比,然后可以根据该功分比可以获知所需要的第二传输线312的特性阻抗Z’ 0和第三去耦传输线313的特性阻抗Z 5,从而配置三端口网络31的第二传输线312和第三去耦传输线313,使得第二传输线312的特性阻抗满足所需要的特性阻抗Z’ 0,并使第三去耦传输线313的特性阻抗满足所需要的特性阻抗Z 5Thus, from the above, the degree of coupling can be known through a preset desired power divider ratio of the power divider, then dividing ratio may be learned characteristic of the second transmission line 312 to the desired impedance Z '0, and the third according to the function 313 coupled to the transmission line characteristic impedance Z 5, thereby configuring the second three-port network 31 transmission line 312 and transmission line 313 is coupled to the third, so that the characteristic impedance of the second transmission line 312 to meet the desired characteristic impedance Z '0, and a third The characteristic impedance of the decoupling transmission line 313 meets the required characteristic impedance Z 5 .
一些实施例中,可以通过配置传输线的线宽来使传输线的特性阻抗满足要求,即,第二传输线312的线宽根据第二传输线312的特性阻抗来确定。第三去耦合传输线313的线宽根据第三去耦传输线313的特性阻抗来确定。例如,按照上述关系式获得第二传输线312的特性阻抗Z’ 0之后,可以将第二传输线312的线宽配置为使其特性阻抗满足上述特性阻抗Z’ 0。举例而言,确定所需的第二传输线312的厚度、PCB板材的相对介电常数以及介质层厚度等因素后,根据特性阻抗和线宽之间的关系以及所需的特性阻抗Z’ 0,即可计算出第二传输线312的线宽。因此,根据该计算结果来配置第二传输线312的线宽,从而获得具有上述特性阻抗Z’ 0的第二传输线312。 In some embodiments, the characteristic impedance of the transmission line can be configured to meet the requirements by configuring the line width of the transmission line, that is, the line width of the second transmission line 312 is determined according to the characteristic impedance of the second transmission line 312. The line width of the third decoupling transmission line 313 is determined according to the characteristic impedance of the third decoupling transmission line 313. For example, after obtaining the characteristic impedance Z′ 0 of the second transmission line 312 according to the above-mentioned relational expression, the line width of the second transmission line 312 can be configured such that its characteristic impedance satisfies the above-mentioned characteristic impedance Z′ 0 . After For example, the factors determining the thickness, relative dielectric constant and the dielectric layer of PCB material thickness required for the second transmission line 312, the relationship between the characteristic impedance and the line width and the desired characteristic impedance Z '0, Then the line width of the second transmission line 312 can be calculated. Therefore, the line width of the second transmission line 312 is configured according to the calculation result, thereby obtaining the second transmission line 312 having the above-mentioned characteristic impedance Z′ 0 .
类似地,可以通过配置第三去耦传输线313的线宽来使第三去耦传输线313满足上述所需的特性阻抗Z 5。第三去耦传输线313的线宽则可以根据特性阻抗和线宽之间的关系以及所需的特性阻抗Z 5来计算。因此,根据该计算结果来配置第三去耦传输线313的线宽,从而获得具有上述特性阻抗Z5的第三去耦传输线313。 Similarly, the line width of the third decoupling transmission line 313 can be configured to make the third decoupling transmission line 313 meet the aforementioned required characteristic impedance Z 5 . The line width of the third decoupling transmission line 313 can be calculated according to the relationship between the characteristic impedance and the line width and the required characteristic impedance Z 5 . Therefore, the line width of the third decoupling transmission line 313 is configured according to the calculation result, thereby obtaining the third decoupling transmission line 313 having the above-mentioned characteristic impedance Z5.
可以理解地,上述功分器还可以是其他功分器,例如,wilkinson功分器。此时,第二传输线312的特性阻抗Z’ 0和第一去耦传输线313的特性阻抗Z 5则可以根据wilkinson功分器所对应的关系式来进行计算。 Understandably, the above-mentioned power divider may also be other power dividers, for example, a Wilkinson power divider. At this time, the characteristic impedance Z′ 0 of the second transmission line 312 and the characteristic impedance Z 5 of the first decoupling transmission line 313 can be calculated according to the relational expression corresponding to the Wilkinson power divider.

在图4至图6中,第二传输线322、第三传输线323、第四传输线324、第五传输线325、第二传输线322’、第三传输线323’、第四传输线324’、第五传输线325’、第一去耦传输线33和第二去耦传输线34的特性阻抗可设计为Z 0。其中,在将上述三端口网络Z’ 0计算出来之后,可以将Z 0配置为与Z’ 0相等。另外,第一去耦传输线33的长度可设为d3,第二去耦传输线34的长度可设为d 4In FIGS. 4 to 6, the second transmission line 322, the third transmission line 323, the fourth transmission line 324, the fifth transmission line 325, the second transmission line 322', the third transmission line 323', the fourth transmission line 324', and the fifth transmission line 325 The characteristic impedance of the first decoupling transmission line 33 and the second decoupling transmission line 34 can be designed as Z 0 . Wherein, in the above-described three-port network Z 'calculated after 0, 0 may be configured to the Z Z' is equal to 0. In addition, the length of the first decoupling transmission line 33 can be set to d3, and the length of the second decoupling transmission line 34 can be set to d 4 .
第一去耦传输线33和第二去耦传输线34用于传输信号以抵消两个天线单元10、20之间的在第二频段的互耦。其中,第一频段和第二频段不同,且相互邻近。两个天线单元10、20之间在第二频段的的耦合度D1可以通过第一去耦网络30的四端口网络32和第二去耦网络30’的四端口网络32’的散射参数(即,S参数)以及第一去耦传输线33与第二去耦传输线34的长度d 3和d 4来进行定义。例如,如果要求两个天线单元10、20之间的耦合度D1达到预设耦合度,则可以将四端口网络32的S参数和第一去耦传输线33与第二去耦传输线34的长度d 3,d 4配置为使天线单元10、20之间在第二频段的的耦合度D1满足预设的耦合度。在此指出,两个天线单元10、20之间在第二频段的的耦合度D1与两个天线单元10、20之间在第二频段的的隔离度成反比关系;也就是说,两个天线单元10、20之间在第二频段的的隔离度越高,则两个天线单元10、20之间在第二频段的的耦合度D1越低。 The first decoupling transmission line 33 and the second decoupling transmission line 34 are used to transmit signals to cancel the mutual coupling between the two antenna units 10 and 20 in the second frequency band. Among them, the first frequency band and the second frequency band are different and adjacent to each other. The degree of coupling D1 between the two antenna units 10 and 20 in the second frequency band can be determined by the scattering parameters of the four-port network 32 of the first decoupling network 30 and the four-port network 32' of the second decoupling network 30' (ie , S-parameters), and a first decoupling transmission line 33 to define the length of the transmission line 34 of the second decoupling and d 3 of d 4. For example, if the coupling degree D1 between the two antenna units 10 and 20 is required to reach the preset coupling degree, the S parameter of the four-port network 32 and the length d of the first decoupling transmission line 33 and the second decoupling transmission line 34 can be combined. 3, d 4 arranged such that the degree of coupling between the antenna elements of the second frequency band between 10,20 D1 satisfies the preset degree of coupling. It is pointed out here that the coupling degree D1 between the two antenna elements 10 and 20 in the second frequency band is inversely proportional to the isolation degree between the two antenna elements 10 and 20 in the second frequency band; that is, two The higher the isolation between the antenna units 10 and 20 in the second frequency band, the lower the coupling degree D1 between the two antenna units 10 and 20 in the second frequency band.
容易明白的是,当四端口网络32和四端口网络32’采用相同的结构时,他们的S参数也是相同的。从而,在四端口网络32和四端口网络32’相同的情况下,两个天线单元10、20之间在第二频段的的耦合度D1与四端口网络32的S参数以及第一去耦传输线33与第二去耦传输线34的长度d 3,d 4之间的关系可以通过以下方式获得。 It is easy to understand that when the four-port network 32 and the four-port network 32' adopt the same structure, their S parameters are also the same. Therefore, when the four-port network 32 and the four-port network 32' are the same, the coupling degree D1 between the two antenna units 10 and 20 in the second frequency band is the same as the S-parameter of the four-port network 32 and the first decoupling transmission line. The relationship between the lengths d 3 and d 4 of the second decoupling transmission line 34 and 33 can be obtained in the following manner.

Furthermore, the line width of the transmission line corresponding to the characteristic impedance can be calculated in order to fabricate a directional coupler. Based on this method, the isolation of the multi-antenna system can be improved.
一些实施例中,可以通过配置传输线的线宽来使传输线的特性阻抗满足要求。例如,按照上述关系式获得第二传输线322、第三传输线323、第四传输线324、第五传输线325、第一去耦传输线33和第二去耦传输线34的特性阻抗Z 0之后,可以将这些传输线的线宽配置为使其特性阻抗满足上述特性阻抗Z 0。举例而言,确定所需的第二传输线322、第三传输线323、第四传输线324、第五传输线325、第一去耦传输线33和第二去耦传输线34的厚度、PCB板材的相对介电常数以及介质层厚度等因素后,根据特性阻抗和线宽之间的关系以及所需的特性阻抗Z 0,即可计算出这些传输线的线宽。因此,根据该计算结果来配置第二传输线322、第三传输线323、第四传输线324、第五传输线325、第一去耦传输线33和第二去耦传输 线34的线宽,从而获得具有上述特性阻抗Z 0的多个传输线。 In some embodiments, the characteristic impedance of the transmission line can meet the requirements by configuring the line width of the transmission line. For example, after obtaining the characteristic impedance Z 0 of the second transmission line 322, the third transmission line 323, the fourth transmission line 324, the fifth transmission line 325, the first decoupling transmission line 33, and the second decoupling transmission line 34 according to the above relationship, these The line width of the transmission line is configured such that its characteristic impedance satisfies the aforementioned characteristic impedance Z 0 . For example, determine the required thickness of the second transmission line 322, the third transmission line 323, the fourth transmission line 324, the fifth transmission line 325, the first decoupling transmission line 33 and the second decoupling transmission line 34, and the relative dielectric of the PCB board. After factors such as the constant and the thickness of the dielectric layer, according to the relationship between the characteristic impedance and the line width and the required characteristic impedance Z 0 , the line width of these transmission lines can be calculated. Therefore, according to the calculation result, the line widths of the second transmission line 322, the third transmission line 323, the fourth transmission line 324, the fifth transmission line 325, the first decoupling transmission line 33, and the second decoupling transmission line 34 are configured to obtain the above-mentioned characteristics. Multiple transmission lines with impedance Z 0.
类似地,可以通过配置第六传输线326和第八传输线328的线宽来使他们满足上述所需的特性阻抗Z 1。第七传输线327和第九传输线329的线宽则可以根据特性阻抗和线宽之间的关系以及所需的特性阻抗Z 2来计算。因此,根据该计算结果来配置第六传输线326和第八传输线328以及第七传输线327和第九传输线329的线宽,从而获得具有上述特性阻抗Z 1和Z 2的多个传输线。 Similarly, the line widths of the sixth transmission line 326 and the eighth transmission line 328 can be configured to satisfy the aforementioned required characteristic impedance Z 1 . The line width of the seventh transmission line 327 and the ninth transmission line 329 can be calculated based on the relationship between the characteristic impedance and the line width and the required characteristic impedance Z 2 . Thus, based on the calculation result 326 to configure the transmission line 328 and an eighth transmission line and the seventh transmission line 329 and the width of the ninth sixth transmission line 327, thereby obtaining a plurality of transmission line impedance Z 1 and Z 2 has the above properties.

此外,第三基板63上还设有其他信号传输线,例如控制线68和电源线69等。如图12所示,电源线69设置在第三基板63的第二外表面631上,并焊接在射频芯片64上。控制线68设置在第三基板63靠近射频芯片64的半固化片和与其相邻的半固化片之间,并穿过半固化片上的信号过孔635而与射频芯片64连接。In addition, other signal transmission lines are provided on the third substrate 63, such as a control line 68 and a power line 69.

The control line 68 is arranged between the prepreg of the third substrate 63 close to the radio frequency chip 64 and the adjacent prepreg, and passes through the signal via 635 on the prepreg to connect to the radio frequency chip 64.
此外,第三基板63还用于承载多个去耦网络以及连接在他们之间的第一去耦传输线33a、第二去耦传输线34a和第三去耦传输线313a。去耦网络可以是前述实任一实施例的去耦网络。第一去耦网络30的三端口网络31中的第一传输线311通过第一馈线连接至射频芯片64,四端口网络32的第三传输线323通过第二馈线67连接至对应的天线单元10a。In addition, the third substrate 63 is also used to carry multiple decoupling networks and the first decoupling transmission line 33a, the second decoupling transmission line 34a, and the third decoupling transmission line 313a connected between them. The decoupling network can be the decoupling network of any of the foregoing embodiments. The first transmission line 311 in the three-port network 31 of the first decoupling network 30 is connected to the radio frequency chip 64 through a first feeder, and the third transmission line 323 of the four-port network 32 is connected to the corresponding antenna unit 10a through a second feeder 67.
由于在天线装置的两个相邻天线单元10a和20a之间设置了第一去耦网络30和第二去耦网络30’,并且第一去耦传输线33a、第二去耦传输线34a和第三去耦传输线313a在第一去耦网络30和第二去耦网络30’之间连接,因此从射频芯片64发出的信号输入三端口网络31之后,一部分输入至四端口网络32,另一部分经第三去耦传输线传输至第二去耦网络30’以到达相邻的天线单元20a。输入至四端口网络32的信号的一部分经第三传输线323a传输至天线单元的内层辐射片12a,另一部分经第一去耦传输线33a和第二去耦传输线34a传输至第二去耦网络30’以到达相邻的天线单元20a,从而抵消两个天线单元10a、20a之间的耦合。Since the first decoupling network 30 and the second decoupling network 30' are provided between the two adjacent antenna units 10a and 20a of the antenna device, and the first decoupling transmission line 33a, the second decoupling transmission line 34a and the third decoupling network The decoupling transmission line 313a is connected between the first decoupling network 30 and the second decoupling network 30'. Therefore, after the signal sent from the radio frequency chip 64 is input to the three-port network 31, one part is input to the four-port network 32, and the other part passes through the first The three decoupling transmission lines are transmitted to the second decoupling network 30' to reach the adjacent antenna unit 20a. Part of the signal input to the four-port network 32 is transmitted to the inner radiating sheet 12a of the antenna unit through the third transmission line 323a, and the other part is transmitted to the second decoupling network 30 through the first decoupling transmission line 33a and the second decoupling transmission line 34a 'To reach the adjacent antenna unit 20a, thereby canceling the coupling between the two antenna units 10a, 20a.
两个天线单元10a、20a之间的耦合度可以通过三端口网络和四端口网络的散射参数和第一、第二及第三去耦传输线313a、33a、34a的长度来进行定义。The degree of coupling between the two antenna units 10a, 20a can be defined by the scattering parameters of the three-port network and the four-port network and the length of the first, second, and third decoupling transmission lines 313a, 33a, 34a.
具体地,如上述阵列天线的实施例,本实施例的天线装置60的去耦网络中,三端口网络的第三去耦传输线313a的长度d5以及三端口网络的S参数以及预设耦合度满足以下关系:

其中,该预设耦合度是在第二频段内的预设耦合度。Wherein, the predetermined degree of coupling is a predetermined degree of coupling in the second frequency band.
一些实施例中,三端口网络中的去耦传输线313a的长度和功分器的功分比配置为使两个天线单元10a、20a之间在第一频段的耦合度置零。进一步地,可以将四端口网络32中的第一去耦传输线33a和第二去耦传输线34a的长度d 3与d 4和四端口网络32的S参数配置为使两个天线单元10a、20a之间在第二频段的耦合度D1置零。 In some embodiments, the length of the decoupling transmission line 313a in the three-port network and the power division ratio of the power divider are configured to zero the coupling degree between the two antenna units 10a, 20a in the first frequency band. Further, the length of the first decoupling the transmission line 32 and the second four-port decoupling network 33a of the transmission line 34a can be the parameter d S 3 and d 4 and four-port network 32 is configured such that two antenna elements 10a, 20a of The coupling degree D1 in the second frequency band is set to zero.
一些实施例中,第三去耦传输线313a的长度和功分器的功分比根据两个天线单元10a、20a之间的初始隔离度来进行配置。具体地,三端口网络的功分比根据初始隔离度的强度来进行配置,第三去耦传输线313a的长度则根据初始隔离度的相位来进行配置,具体参见前述关系式(21)和(22)。In some embodiments, the length of the third decoupling transmission line 313a and the power division ratio of the power divider are configured according to the initial isolation between the two antenna units 10a, 20a. Specifically, the power division ratio of the three-port network is configured according to the strength of the initial isolation, and the length of the third decoupling transmission line 313a is configured according to the phase of the initial isolation. For details, refer to the aforementioned relations (21) and (22). ).
进一步地,在一些实施例中,在将两个天线单元10a、20a之间在第二频段的耦合度D1置零的情况下,再根据两个天线单元10a、20a之间的初始隔离度S’ 12计算出所需定向耦合器的耦合度D,具体参见前述的公式(46)。 Further, in some embodiments, when the coupling degree D1 between the two antenna units 10a and 20a in the second frequency band is set to zero, the initial isolation degree S between the two antenna units 10a and 20a is set to zero. '12 Calculate the coupling degree D of the required directional coupler, see the aforementioned formula (46) for details.
一些实施例中,还能够根据去耦前隔离度的相位φ 21计算出第一去耦传输线33a和第二去耦传输线34a的长度d 3与d 4,具体参见前述的公式(47)。 In some embodiments, the lengths d 3 and d 4 of the first decoupling transmission line 33 a and the second decoupling transmission line 34 a can also be calculated according to the phase φ 21 of the isolation before decoupling. For details, refer to the aforementioned formula (47).
可以理解地,由于第二去耦网络30’可以与第一去耦网络30相同,因此第二去耦网络30’的传输线的长度可与第一去耦网络30中的传输线的长度相同。Understandably, since the second decoupling network 30' can be the same as the first decoupling network 30, the length of the transmission line of the second decoupling network 30' can be the same as the length of the transmission line in the first decoupling network 30.
一些实施例中,功分器的功分比具体可以通过配置第二传输线312a和第三去耦传输线313a的特性阻抗来实现。例如,第二传输线312a的特性阻抗Z’ 0与第一传输线311a的特性阻抗Z 6以及功分比(初始隔离度的强度S’ 12)满足上述关系式(23)。第三去耦传输线313a的特性阻抗Z 5与第一传输线311a的特性阻抗Z 6以及功分比(即初始隔离度的强度S’ 12)满足上述关系式(24)。 In some embodiments, the power division ratio of the power divider can be specifically realized by configuring the characteristic impedance of the second transmission line 312a and the third decoupling transmission line 313a. For example, the second transmission line 312a characteristic impedance Z '0 of the first transmission line characteristic impedance Z 6 311a and a power divider ratio (initial isolation strength S' 12) satisfies the above relation (23). The third characteristic decoupling the transmission line characteristic impedance Z 5 313a and 311a of the first transmission line impedance Z 6 and power dividing ratio (i.e. the initial isolation strength S '12) satisfies the above relation (24).
一些实施例中,由于四端口网络的第二传输线322a与三端口网络的第二传输线312a同为一根传输线,通过三端口网络31可以计算出第二传输线312a(322a)的特性阻抗Z’ 0之后,四端口网络的第二传输线322a的特性阻抗Z0即可根据Z 0=Z’ 0得知。四端口网络的第三、第四、第五传输线的特性阻抗均配置为Z’ 0。根据所计算出的定向耦合器的耦合度D,就能够确定定向耦合器各枝节的特性阻抗,也就是:第六传输线326和第八传输线328的特性阻抗Z 1,以及第七传输线327和第九传输线329的特性阻抗Z 2,具体参见前述的公式(24)和(25)。 Some embodiments, since the second transmission line of the second transmission line four-port network 322a and the three-port network 312a impedance Z 31 can calculate the characteristics of the second transmission line 312a (322a) is the same one transmission line, through a three-port network '0 Thereafter, the characteristics of the transmission line 322a of the second four-port network according to the impedance Z0 of Z 0 = Z '0 known. Four-port network of the third, fourth, fifth characteristic impedance of the transmission line are configured as Z '0. According to the calculated coupling degree D of the directional coupler, the characteristic impedance of each branch of the directional coupler can be determined, that is, the characteristic impedance Z 1 of the sixth transmission line 326 and the eighth transmission line 328, and the seventh transmission line 327 and the first transmission line 327 For the characteristic impedance Z 2 of the nine transmission line 329, refer to the aforementioned formulas (24) and (25) for details.
如上述天线阵列的实施例所述,可以通过配置传输线的线宽来使传输线的特性阻抗满足要求。例如,例如,第二传输线312a(322a)的线宽配置为使第二传输线312a(322a)满足上述所需的特性阻抗Z’ 0。第三去耦传输线313a的线宽配置为使第三去耦传输线313a满足上述所需的特性阻抗Z 5。第二传输线322、第三传输线323、第四传输线324、第五传输线325、第一去耦传输线33a和第二去耦传输线34a的线宽配置为使其特性阻抗满足上述特性阻抗Z 0。第六传输线326和第八传输线328的线宽配置为使其特性阻抗满足上述特性阻抗Z 1。第七传输线327和第九传输线329的线宽配置为使其特性阻抗满足上述特性阻抗Z 2As described in the foregoing antenna array embodiment, the characteristic impedance of the transmission line can be configured to meet the requirements by configuring the line width of the transmission line. For example, for example, the line width of the second transmission line 312a (322a) is configured such that the second transmission line 312a (322a) meets the aforementioned required characteristic impedance Z′ 0 . The line width of the third decoupling transmission line 313a is configured such that the third decoupling transmission line 313a meets the aforementioned required characteristic impedance Z 5 . The line widths of the second transmission line 322, the third transmission line 323, the fourth transmission line 324, the fifth transmission line 325, the first decoupling transmission line 33a, and the second decoupling transmission line 34a are configured such that their characteristic impedance satisfies the aforementioned characteristic impedance Z 0 . The line widths of the sixth transmission line 326 and the eighth transmission line 328 are configured such that their characteristic impedance satisfies the aforementioned characteristic impedance Z 1 . The line widths of the seventh transmission line 327 and the ninth transmission line 329 are configured such that their characteristic impedance satisfies the aforementioned characteristic impedance Z 2 .
第一去耦网络30、第二去耦网络30’、第一去耦传输线33a、第二去耦传输线34a和第三去耦传输线313a均可以设置在第三基板63的同一层上,例如,第三基板63靠近射频芯片64的半固化片上或者位于中间的半固化片上。图12所示的第一去耦网络30与去耦传输线33a设置在第三基板63位于中间的半固化片上,即,与金属层666同层。第一去耦网络30的传输线和第一、第二、第三去耦传输线33a、34a、313a均在该层上延伸并形成图案。The first decoupling network 30, the second decoupling network 30', the first decoupling transmission line 33a, the second decoupling transmission line 34a, and the third decoupling transmission line 313a may all be arranged on the same layer of the third substrate 63, for example, The third substrate 63 is close to the prepreg of the radio frequency chip 64 or on the prepreg in the middle. The first decoupling network 30 and the decoupling transmission line 33 a shown in FIG. 12 are arranged on the prepreg with the third substrate 63 in the middle, that is, the same layer as the metal layer 666. The transmission lines of the first decoupling network 30 and the first, second, and third decoupling transmission lines 33a, 34a, and 313a all extend and form patterns on this layer.
因此,可以在金属层666所在层上形成长度满足上述所需长度的第一去耦传输线33a、第二去耦传输线34a和第三去耦传输线313a。其中,图12的截面中仅展示了第三去耦传输线313a,而第一去耦传输线33a、第二去耦传输线34a以及四端口网络32因与第三去耦传输线313a同层而未在该截面图中展示。可以理解地,相邻的天线单元10a、20a所对应的馈线之间的直线距离较小时,第一去耦传输线33a、第二去耦传输线34a和第三去耦传输线313a可以形成弯折的图案,以满足长度的要求,如图8-图11所示的第一去耦传输线33a和第二去耦传输线34a均形成弯折的图案。在其他一些实施例中,第一去耦传输线33a、第二去耦传输线34a和第三去耦传输线313a也可以呈弯曲的图案。Therefore, the first decoupling transmission line 33a, the second decoupling transmission line 34a, and the third decoupling transmission line 313a can be formed on the layer where the metal layer 666 is located. Among them, only the third decoupling transmission line 313a is shown in the cross-section of FIG. Shown in cross-section. It is understandable that when the linear distance between the feed lines corresponding to the adjacent antenna units 10a, 20a is small, the first decoupling transmission line 33a, the second decoupling transmission line 34a, and the third decoupling transmission line 313a may form a bent pattern To meet the length requirement, the first decoupling transmission line 33a and the second decoupling transmission line 34a as shown in FIGS. 8-11 both form a bent pattern. In some other embodiments, the first decoupling transmission line 33a, the second decoupling transmission line 34a, and the third decoupling transmission line 313a may also be in a curved pattern.
一些实施例中,第一去耦传输线33a朝远离所述第二去耦传输线34a的方向弯曲或弯折。第二去耦传输线34a朝远离第一去耦传输线33a的方向弯曲或弯折(如图9所示)。另一些实施例中,第一去耦传输线33a朝远离所述第二去耦传输线34a的方向弯曲或弯折。第二去耦传输线34a的两端部朝所述第三去耦传 输线313a的方向延伸,中部朝远离所述第三去耦传输线313a的方向弯曲或弯折(如图10所示)。In some embodiments, the first decoupling transmission line 33a is bent or bent in a direction away from the second decoupling transmission line 34a. The second decoupling transmission line 34a is bent or bent in a direction away from the first decoupling transmission line 33a (as shown in FIG. 9).
