Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.
An embodiment of the present invention provides anantenna 10, as shown in fig. 1, where fig. 1 is an exploded view of theantenna 10, and theantenna 10 includes aconductive plate 101 of a ramp layer and at least one slotconductive strip 102.
Thefirst surface 102a of the slotconductive strip 102 is provided with a plurality of feed slot throughholes 1021, thesecond surface 102b of the slotconductive strip 102 is provided with at least one cavityconductive slot 1022, each cavityconductive slot 1022 is provided with a plurality of feed throughholes 1022a, and the plurality of feed throughholes 1022a provided in the at least one cavityconductive slot 1022 are respectively communicated with the plurality of feed slot throughholes 1021.
The inclined plane layerconductive plate 101 is provided with at least oneinclined plane groove 1011, as shown in fig. 2, abottom surface 1011a of theinclined plane groove 1011 forms a first predetermined angle p with thebottom surface 101a of the inclined plane layerconductive plate 101, and thebottom surface 1011a of eachinclined plane groove 1011 is provided with at least one first waveguide throughhole 1011b penetrating from thebottom surface 1011a of theinclined plane groove 1011 to thebottom surface 101a of the inclined plane layerconductive plate 101.
The at least one slotconductive strip 102 is disposed in at least oneinclined groove 1011 of the inclined layerconductive plate 101, respectively, such that at least one cavityconductive slot 1022 disposed on thesecond surface 102b of the slotconductive strip 102 is communicated with at least one first waveguide throughhole 1011b on thebottom surface 1011a of theinclined groove 1011, respectively.
For example, since thebottom surface 1011a of theinclined groove 1011 disposed on the inclined layerconductive plate 101 and thebottom surface 101a of the inclined layerconductive plate 101 form a first preset angle p, and the slotconductive bars 102 are respectively disposed in theinclined grooves 1011, it can be known that the slotconductive bars 102 and thebottom surface 101a of the inclined layerconductive plate 101 form the first preset angle p, and thus, the surface normal of the slotconductive bars 102 can be the same as the receiving direction of the satellite signal by adjusting the first preset angle p, and the process of adjusting the position or angle of the whole antenna to achieve the surface normal of the slotconductive bars 102 being the same as the receiving direction of the satellite signal is avoided. Since the different satellites have different moving tracks, when theantenna 10 is manufactured, a satellite corresponding to a satellite signal that theantenna 10 needs to receive is determined, then a receiving direction of the satellite signal is determined according to the moving track of the satellite, and an angle value of the first preset angle p is calculated by taking the receiving direction as a surface normal of the slot conductive strip 102 (it is assumed that thebottom surface 101a of the inclined layerconductive plate 101 is parallel to the horizontal direction). After the angle value of the first preset angle p is obtained, theinclined groove 1011 is formed on the inclined layerconductive plate 101 of theantenna 10 according to the angle value, so that when the slotconductive strip 102 is disposed in theinclined groove 1011, the surface normal direction of the slotconductive strip 102 is the same as the satellite signal receiving direction of the satellite. In practical applications, if thebottom surface 101a of the inclined plane layerconductive plate 101 has an included angle with the horizontal direction, the angle value of the first predetermined angle p may be calculated based on the included angle.
Optionally, the positions of thefeeding slot vias 1021 arranged on the slotconductive strip 102 are determined by the satellite signals received by the slot conductive strip. When designing the slotconductive strip 102, the electrical parameters of the single feed slot throughhole 1021 may be simulated first, that is, the relationship between the slot offset, the slot conductance, and the slot length and width of the single feed slot throughhole 1021 during resonance is obtained, then HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) software is applied to perform simulation according to the relationship, that is, the electrical parameters of the feed slot throughhole 1021 are continuously changed on the basis of satisfying the relationship, and the optimal electrical parameters of the feed slot throughhole 1021 satisfying the relationship are selected according to information such as the gain, the directivity pattern, the far-field pattern profile, the far-field 3D diagram, and the 3dB bandwidth of theantenna 10 output by the HFSS software after the electrical parameters are changed each time, so as to obtain the position, the length, and the width of the feed slot throughhole 1021. After the position, the length and the width of a single feed slot throughhole 1021 are obtained, the number and the positions of other feed slot throughholes 1021 are simulated according to the same length and width, and then a model of the slotconductive strip 102 is obtained.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, thefirst surface 102a of each slotconductive strip 102 is provided with eight feeding slot throughholes 1021, and thesecond surface 102b is provided with two cavityconductive slots 1022, as shown in fig. 3, the eight feeding slot throughholes 1021 are respectively disposed on edge regions of the slotconductive strips 102 along the length direction. Alternatively, the eight feed slot throughholes 1021 may be all rectangular in shape. As shown in fig. 4, the two cavityconductive slots 1022 disposed on thesecond side 102b of the slotconductive strip 102 may be rectangular, and each cavityconductive slot 1022 is provided with fourfeeding vias 1022a, the fourfeeding vias 1022a having the same shape as the feeding slot via 1021 and being disposed at four corners of the rectangular cavityconductive slot 1022, respectively. At this time, four of the eight feed slot throughholes 1021 are mutually communicated with the feed throughholes 1022a disposed at the four corners of one cavityconductive slot 1022, and the remaining four feed slot throughholes 1021 are mutually communicated with the feed throughholes 1022a disposed at the four corners of the other cavityconductive slot 1022. As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along a direction a-a of fig. 3, and fig. 5 shows that the feed slot via 1021 passes through thefirst surface 102a of the slotconductive strip 102 to the bottom surface of the cavityconductive slot 1022, and the feed slot via 1021 is the feed slot via 1021 when viewed from thefirst surface 102a of the slotconductive strip 102, and the feed slot via 1022a is the feed slot via when viewed from thesecond surface 102b of the slotconductive strip 102.
Illustratively, thebottom surface 1011a of eachinclined groove 1011 is provided with at least one first waveguide throughhole 1011b extending from thebottom surface 1011a of theinclined groove 1011 to thebottom surface 101a of the inclined layerconductive plate 101, and the number of the first waveguide throughholes 1011b provided on thebottom surface 1011a of eachinclined groove 1011 is the same as the number of the cavityconductive grooves 1022 on the slotconductive strip 102 provided in theinclined groove 1011. Assuming that the second surface of the slotconductive strip 102 is provided with two cavityconductive slots 1022, two first waveguide throughholes 1011b are disposed on thebottom surface 1011a of eachinclined groove 1011. As shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along B-B of fig. 7, it can be seen from fig. 6 that the side surface of the first waveguide via 1011B and thebottom surface 101a of theconductive plate 101 form a second predetermined angle q, and the angle value of the second predetermined angle q can also be determined through simulation, i.e. the angle value of the second predetermined angle q is also related to the receiving direction of the satellite signal that theantenna 10 needs to receive.

As shown in fig. 10, a secondconductive groove 1051 having the same shape as the firstconductive groove 1042 is formed on a surface of the bottomconductive plate 105 adjacent to the middleconductive plate 104.

The firstconductive recesses 1042 on the middleconductive plate 104 are aligned with the secondconductive recesses 1051 on the bottomconductive plate 105.
As an example, a polar coordinate graph of the radiation direction of theantenna 10 receiving the satellite signal can be shown in fig. 11, and it can be known from again curve 1001 in fig. 11 that through the feeding and amplification processes of the slotconductive strip 102, the inclined plane layerconductive plate 101, the middle layerconductive plate 104, and the bottom layerconductive plate 105, the gain of the received signal of theantenna 10 in each direction can meet the requirement of signal processing, that is, the requirement of receiving the satellite signal can be completely met by placing the slotconductive strip 102 in theinclined plane groove 1011.
