      • 摘要: 针对传统反、透射阵天线结构复杂、功能单一、空域覆盖范围受限的问题,提出了一种基于编码超表面的单层双频双线极化集成透-反射阵天线。该阵列通过对高频单元和低频单元进行合理排布,可以实现不同线极化方向的独立透、反射波束。基于所提出的超表面结构,设计了两款均具有18×18个高频单元和19×19个低频单元组合而成的透-反射阵列天线,且这两款天线的高、低频中心频率相同,均为35 GHz和29 GHz。第一款天线在高、低频段分别产生θ=20°方向的前向x极化高增益波束和θ=0°方向的后向y极化高增益波束,透、反射工作模式下的峰值增益分别为24.6 dB和25.3 dB;第二款天线在高、低频段分别产生θ=0°方向的前向x极化涡旋波束和θ=−30°方向的后向y极化高增益波束,透、反射工作模式下的峰值增益分别达到24.4 dB和19.3 dB。所提出的两款集成透-反射阵天线在单层结构的前提下均实现了辐射波束的全空域覆盖,具有结构简单、集成度高、覆盖范围广和高增益的特点,于卫星通信、雷达探测等远距离信息传输系统中具备广阔的应用前景和发展空间。

         

        Abstract: To address the issues of complex structure, single function, and limited spatial coverage in traditional reflectarray and transmitarray antennas, a single-layer dual-frequency dual-polarized integrated transmit-reflect-array antenna is proposed based on a coding metasurface. By reasonably arranging high-frequency and low-frequency meta-atoms, the designed array can realize independent transmission and reflection beams with different linear polarizations. Utilizing the proposed metasurface structure, two transmit-reflect array antennas are designed, which both consisting of 18×18 high-frequency elements and 19×19 low-frequency elements. Both antennas possess the same center frequencies for the high and low bands, of which are 35 GHz and 29 GHz, respectively. The first antenna generates a forward x-polarized high-gain beam at θ=20° in the high-frequency band and a backward y-polarized high-gain beam at θ=0° in the low-frequency band, achieving peak gains of 24.6 dB and 25.3 dB in the transmission and reflection modes, respectively. The second antenna radiates a forward x-polarized vortex beam at θ=0° in the high-frequency band and a backward y-polarized high-gain beam at θ=−30° in the low-frequency band, obtaining peak gains of 24.4 dB and 19.3 dB in the transmission and reflection modes, respectively. Under the premise of a single-layer structure, two proposed transmit-reflect array antennas achieve full spatial coverage of radiation beams. Featured by simple structure, high integration, wide coverage, and high gain, they have broad application prospects and development potential in long-distance information transmission systems such as satellite communications and radar detection.
