双频双向通信四波束折叠透射阵天线

      A dual-band four-beam folded transmitarray for bidirectional communication

      • 摘要: 本文设计了用于双向通信的低剖面双频四波束圆极化折叠透射阵天线。该天线主要由工作于不同频段的两个接收-辐射型阵列及两个馈源组成。其中,低频段阵列兼具双重功能:通过自旋解耦机制实现低频段双圆极化波束辐射并反射高频段电磁波;相应地,高频段阵列则通过自旋解耦机制实现高频段双圆极化波束辐射并反射低频段电磁波。通过该设计,最终在两个方向上(+z和-z)共实现了四个可独立调控的圆极化波束。仿真结果表明:13 GHz处沿+z 方向辐射的左旋圆极化(Left-hand circular polarization, LHCP)波束峰值增益为 23.5 dBic,右旋圆极化(Right-hand circular polarization, RHCP)波束峰值增益为 23.27 dBic,对应口径效率分别为29.3%和27.8%;17 GHz处沿-z方向辐射的LHCP 和 RHCP波束峰值增益分别为22.9 dBic与22.34 dBic,对应口径效率分别为14.9%和13.1%。该天线剖面低、重量轻并具备双频带、多波束工作能力,为双向圆极化无线通信集成天线系统设计提供了有效解决方案。

         

        Abstract: A low-profile, dual-band, four-beam circularly polarized (CP) folded transmitarray (FTA) antenna for bidirectional communication is presented. The antenna is composed of two receiver-transmitter (T-R) arrays operating at distinct frequency bands and two feed sources. Specifically, the T-R1 serves a dual function: it facilitates dual CP beam radiation based on the spin-decoupling method at lower band while reflecting electromagnetic (EM) waves at higher band. Correspondingly, the T-R2 achieves dual CP beam radiation through spin-decoupling at higher band and reflects EM waves at lower band. Finally, four independently controllable CP beams are realized in both the +z and -z directions. Simulated results demonstrate that at 13 GHz, the peak gains of the left-hand circularly polarized (LHCP) and right-hand circularly polarized (RHCP) beams are 23.5 dBic and 23.27 dBic along the +z axis, with corresponding aperture efficiencies of 29.3% and 27.8%, respectively. At 17 GHz, the peak gains of the LHCP and RHCP beams are 22.9 dBic and 22.34 dBic along the -z axis, with aperture efficiencies of 14.9% and 13.1%, respectively. Featuring a low profile, lightweight, and dual-band operation capability, the FTA provides an effective solution for bi-directional CP wireless communication systems.
