      • 摘要: 为了满足宽带通信天线抗干扰的需求,提出了一种宽带Vivaldi滤波阵列天线。该天线由扇形馈电线、短路枝节和辐射贴片振子组成,通过在扇形馈电线上引入一根短路枝节可在不增加天线尺寸的情况下实现滤波效应,只需通过优化短路枝节的尺寸即可在天线工作带外高低频形成2个滤波谐振点。针对所设计的Vivaldi滤波天线开展了12×16的组阵设计,并进行了阵列天线实物加工和测试。经过性能测试,该滤波天线在2.1~5.9 GHz工作频带内, 0°~60°扫描范围内有源驻波比(voltage standing wave ratio, VSWR)小于3.8,增益高于22 dBi,±60°扫描范围内增益损失小于等于4.6 dB,在1.8 GHz和6.45 GHz处达到了23 dB以上的抑制水平,实测结果与仿真结果具有较好的一致性。该宽带Vivaldi滤波阵列天线具有辐射特性稳定、结构简单、抑制能力强等特点,可应用于宽带通信及雷达测量等领域。

         

        Abstract: To meet the anti-interference requirements of antennas for broadband communication, a broadband Vivaldi filtering array antenna is proposed. This antenna consists of a fan-shaped feeder, a short-circuited stub and a radiating patch dipole. By introducing a short-circuited stub into the fan-shaped feeder, a filtering effect is achieved without increasing the antenna size. Two filtering resonant points can be formed at the out-of-band high and low frequencies merely by optimizing the dimensions of the short-circuited stub. A 12×16 array of the Vivaldi filtering antenna is designed, and the prototype of the array antenna is fabricated and tested. The proposed filtering antenna achieves an active standing wave ratio of less than 3.8, a gain higher than 22 dBi, and a gain loss of no more than 4.6 dB within the ±60° scanning range, across its operating frequency band of 2.1 GHz to 5.9 GHz. A suppression level of over 23 dB is attained at 1.8 GHz and 6.45 GHz, with good consistency observed between the measured and simulated results. Featuring stable radiation characteristics, simple structure and strong out-of-band suppression capability, the proposed broadband Vivaldi filtering array antenna can be applied to broadband communication and radar measurement fields.
