摘 要:在現(xiàn)代通信中,特別是衛(wèi)星通信,有時(shí)需要比較高的交叉極化隔離度。對(duì)于傳統(tǒng)的微帶陣列天線來說,由于其饋電網(wǎng)絡(luò)與陣元均處于同一側(cè),不僅會(huì)產(chǎn)生互耦,影響增益,并且交叉極化隔離度也不能滿足廣大用戶的要求。在此提出一種新型的饋電結(jié)構(gòu),旨在提高其交叉極化隔離度。從仿真中可以看出,交叉極化隔離度能達(dá)到40 dB以上,為實(shí)現(xiàn)更大型微帶陣列天線網(wǎng)絡(luò)做出一定的理論實(shí)踐和工程指導(dǎo)。

Abstract: A high cross-polarization isolation is sometimes needed in modern communications, especially in satellite communications. A new feeder structure is proposed to enhance the cross-polarization isolation because the array elements and the feed network are at the same side in the traditional microstrip array antenna, and the structure can cause low cross-polarization isolation and co-coupling which affects the gain. It is found from the simulation result calculated by HFSS of Ansoft that the cross-polarization isolation is higher than 40dB. This conclusion can provide a good reference to the practical engineering.
Keywords: microstrip array antenna; cross-polarization isolation; feed source network; slot line

微帶陣列天線具有體積小,重量輕,制作簡(jiǎn)單,安裝方便,容易與有源器件集成,外觀美觀,受環(huán)境影響小等優(yōu)點(diǎn),因此越來越受到人們的歡迎。目前,微帶陣列天線已經(jīng)成功地用于機(jī)載雷達(dá),衛(wèi)星通信,移動(dòng)通信和衛(wèi)星電視等系統(tǒng)中。
關(guān)于微帶陣列天線的饋電問題,前人已做了大量的工作。一般都是輻射片與微帶線饋源網(wǎng)絡(luò)處于同一側(cè),如文獻(xiàn)[1-2]所述。這種方式由于饋源網(wǎng)絡(luò)本身會(huì)產(chǎn)生一定的輻射,所以總的輻射場(chǎng)就是各輻射單元的輻射場(chǎng)與饋源網(wǎng)絡(luò)輻射場(chǎng)的疊加。由于饋源網(wǎng)絡(luò)布線并不一定規(guī)則,這無疑會(huì)影響天線整體的交叉極化隔離度性能;同時(shí),由于微帶線與輻射貼片存在有互耦,這樣還會(huì)進(jìn)一步使天線交叉極化隔離度性能降低,影響主瓣增益[3]。在某些特定的應(yīng)用場(chǎng)合(如衛(wèi)星通信),要求天線的交叉極化隔離度性能是比較高的(30 dB以上)[4],對(duì)于一般陣元數(shù)目比較少的天線陣,還能夠滿足要求,但是對(duì)于大型或者超大型陣列,以上的饋電方式就很難滿足要求了。……
