Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronics, and relates to a high-gain antenna, an array antenna and the like which are formed by monopole antennas in an open rectangular cavity.
Background
Dipole antennas, in particular half-wave dipole antennas, are a very widely used class of antennas, in particular as element antennas in array antennas. Monopole antennas (quarter wavelength) evolved from dipole antennas, with dimensions half smaller than half-wave elements and directivity factors 3dB higher than half-wave element antennas. The induced current of the ground surface in the monopole antenna plays a role in radiation, so that the directivity coefficient of the antenna is improved on one hand, and the influence of the outside on the monopole antenna is shielded on the other hand.
In order to increase the antenna gain, the unit antennas are often combined into an array antenna, and the more the antenna elements, the higher the antenna array gain. Mutual coupling between antenna elements is generally present, which affects the input impedance (mutual impedance), directivity factor, radiation pattern of the antenna and beam scanning of the phased array, which in turn affects the antenna layout. In antenna array design, designers always overcome mutual coupling between antenna elements as much as possible, so that the characteristics of the antenna elements (in the antenna array) approach the characteristics of antennas in free space, and thus, the gain of the antenna array is effectively improved.
Monopole antennas have the advantages of small size and good directivity, and have been applied to array antenna designs as unit antennas. But due to mutual coupling between existing monopole antennas, the monopole antenna element spacing in an array antenna is typically greater than or equal to one-half wavelength. If the existing monopole antenna is improved to obtain the unit antenna with smaller mutual coupling, the antenna gain can be further improved in a dense array arrangement mode, and an antenna array with more optimized electrical performance is designed.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

The array elements are arranged on a straight line (Y-axis direction) at equal intervals to form a linear array. The monopole antenna 1 in the open rectangular cavity has a height of about 0.44 lambda and a polarization direction consistent with the axis of the antenna array. Because the radiation direction is perpendicular to the axis of the antenna array, the collinear antenna array is a side-emitting antenna array. Owing to the small mutual coupling between monopole antenna elements in the open rectangular cavity, the collinear antenna array adopts a dense array arrangement mode, and the distance between adjacent array elements is less than 0.52 lambda. The monopole antenna 1 in the open rectangular cavity has the excellent characteristics of small size, high gain, small side lobe and the like, the densely arranged collinear antenna array can obtain high gain and large directivity coefficient under the condition of smaller antenna size, and the directivity coefficient of the collinear antenna array is about DCommon line array＝10logN+DUnit antenna(dB)。
Fig. 2 shows a 3D directional diagram of a binary array composed of monopole antennas 1 in 2 open rectangular cavities as array elements under far field conditions obtained by computer simulation, and the operating frequency of the binary array is 2 GHz. The height of the antenna unit is less than 0.44 lambda, the spacing between adjacent array elements is less than 0.52 lambda, and the one-dimensional scale of the binary array is less than 0.96 lambda. The collinear binary antenna array has the advantages that in the range of the electrical size smaller than lambda, the relative field intensity of a radiation field is maximum in the Z-axis direction, and the directivity coefficient is larger than 9.23 dB.
Fig. 3 provides the relationship between the directivity coefficient of the collinear binary array and the array element spacing obtained through computer simulation. Under the condition of 2GHz working frequency, the wavelength lambda of the electromagnetic wave is 149.9 mm. The spacing of the simulated array elements is 8-72 mm, namely 0.05-0.48 lambda. When the array element spacing is 48mm, namely 0.32 lambda, the collinear binary array obtains the maximum achievable directivity coefficient of 10.26 dB.
The collinear binary array can be used as a high-gain unit antenna to form various antenna arrays, including various linear arrays (linear arrays arranged at equal and unequal intervals, circular arrays arranged on the circumference) and area arrays (planar arrays and spherical arrays).
Fig. 4 is a block diagram of a monopole antenna within an open rectangular cavity. The monopole antenna in the open rectangular cavity consists of two parts, namely the open rectangular cavity and the quarter-wave folded monopole antenna 4. The open rectangular cavity is a section of half-wavelength rectangular waveguide 2, one end of which is sealed by a metal plate 3 to form a short circuit surface, and the other end of which is an open rectangular waveguide as a radiation surface of the antenna. The length of the wide side of the section of the rectangular waveguide 2 is half wavelength; the length of the narrow side of the cross section is more than a quarter wavelength and less than a half wavelength (the length of the narrow side is 0.44 lambda in the given example), and the radiation surface ab of the antenna is less than or equal to 0.25 lambda2The rectangular waveguide cavity length is a half wavelength.
The monopole antenna 4 is arranged inside the rectangular waveguide, is parallel to the section of the rectangular waveguide 2 and is vertical to the waveguide wall where the wide side of the section is located.
