      Single-layer dual frequency dual polarized transmit-reflect-array antenna based on coding metasurface

      • 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,设计了一种基于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,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。该天线在高、低频段的中心频率分别为35 GHz和29 GHz,实验结果表明,透、反射工作模式下的峰值增益分别为24.6 dB和25.2 dB,3 dB增益带宽分别达到28%和27%,从而验证了设计的有效性。提出的集成透-反射阵天线在单层结构的前提下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,在卫星及雷达等远距离通信系统中具有广阔的应用前景。

         

        Abstract: To address the issues of complex structure, monofunctionality, and limited space coverage range of traditional reflectarrays and transmitarrays, a single-layer dual frequency dual-polarized transmit-reflect-array antenna is designed based on coding metasurfaces. It can achieve independent transmission and reflection beams with different polarization by reasonably arranging meat-atoms at higher and lower bands. Utilizing the proposed metasurface configuration, a transmit-reflect-array antenna consisting of 18×18 higher band elements and 19×19 lower band elements was designed, which generates<italic>x</italic>-polarized forward high gain beams in the θ=20° direction and <italic>y</italic>-polarized backward high gain beams in the θ=0° direction, respectively. The center frequencies of higher and lower bands are 35 GHz and 29 GHz. The experimental results show that the peak gains in the transmission and reflection modes are 24.6 dB and 25.2 dB, respectively, with 3-dB gain bandwidths reaching 28% and 27%, thereby validating the effectiveness of the design.. The proposed transmit-reflect-array antenna achieves full space coverage of the radiation beams with a single-layer configuration. Furthermore, it features simple structure, high integration, broad coverage, and high gain, demonstrating promising application prospects in long-distance communication systems such as satellite and radar.
