Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. It is noted that the aspects described below in connection with the figures and the specific embodiments are only exemplary and should not be construed as imposing any limitation on the scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the embodiment of the present invention provides a radiation enhanced leaky coaxial cable, which comprises an inner conductor 1, aninsulating layer 2, anouter conductor 3 and asheath 4, which are sequentially arranged from the center to the outer ring surface. Theouter conductor 3 is provided with a special slot, which comprises at least two rows ofslot groups 31, and theslot groups 31 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of theouter conductor 3, in other words, the included angles between theslot groups 31 are equal.
Each of theslot groups 31 includes a plurality ofslot arrays 32 periodically arranged along the axial direction of theouter conductor 3, and theslot arrays 32 are periodically and repeatedly arranged at a fixed pitch P, and each of theslot arrays 32 includes a plurality ofslots 33. The pitches of theslotted hole groups 31 are the same, at least one of the slottedhole groups 31 is a main radiatinggroove group 31a, and at least one of the slottedhole groups 31 is a mainguide groove group 31 b; the mainpilot groove group 31b leads the mainradiation groove group 31a by one-quarter pitch P in the signal transmission direction.
By arranging at least one mainradiation groove group 31a and at least one mainguide groove group 31b in the circumferential direction of the leaky cable and setting the mainradiation groove group 31a and the mainguide groove group 31b to have a quarter pitch difference, the phase difference of excitation electric fields of the mainradiation groove group 31a and the mainguide groove group 31b can be close to 90 degrees, so that the main radiation amount in the main radiation direction is enhanced, the radiation performance of the leaky cable in a use frequency band is enhanced, the characteristics of low loss and broadband uniform radiation of the leaky cable are retained, the problem that the radiation performance of the leaky cable is too weak in some scenes can be solved, and the leaky cable has stronger scene adaptability.
The parameters of the mainguide slot group 31b and theslot 33 of the mainradiation slot group 31a may not be consistent, but if the parameters of the mainguide slot group 31b and theslot 33 of the mainradiation slot group 31a are consistent, the radiation amount of the leaky cable can be increased manyfold.
The relationship between the angle alpha between the mainguide slot group 31b and the mainradiation slot group 31a in the circumferential direction of the leakage cable and the total slot hole row number nIs 360 °/n. The distance D between theouter conductor 3 and the outer diameter D of the insulating layerInsulationThe relationship of (1) is: d ═ pi*DInsulationAnd/n. During processing, theouter conductor 3 to be developed may be provided with theslot groups 31 at the pitch D. It should be noted that, in the present application, the distance D and the included angle α are both calculated by the geometric center of theslot 33.
Generally, the mainguide groove group 31b and the mainradiation groove group 31a can be respectively arranged in 1-2 rows. When two rows of main radiatinggroove groups 31a are arranged, the two rows of main radiatinggroove groups 31a should be arranged adjacently, because the two rows of main radiatinggroove groups 31a have the same pitch phase, the electric fields are mutually overlapped, the width of a radiating lobe is wider, the mainguide groove group 31b is arranged at the outer sides of the two rows of main radiatinggroove groups 31a, and the effects of wide radiating lobe and strong radiation performance can be further obtained. It should be noted that when the number n of slots is 3, themiddle slot group 31 should be centered, as shown in fig. 3, and themiddle slot group 31 coincides with thecenter line 34 of the narrow side of the outer conductor, so that theoverlapping side 35 does not block theslot 33 when the outer conductor is wrapped longitudinally.
Preferably, the specially made slot includes 1 column of main radiation slot group, 1 column or 2 columns of main guide slot group. For example: as shown in fig. 3, for an 13/8 "inch leaky cable, 2 rows ofmain guide grooves 31b and 1 row of mainradiating grooves 31a can be arranged, each row adopts a splay slotting mode, a copper strip with the width of 148mm is used as anouter conductor 3, and the distance D between slotted holes is pi*19.2mm/3 ≈ 44.8 mm. When wrapped around a leaky cable, themain guide groove 31b forms an angle α of about 120 ° with the mainradiating groove 31a, as shown in fig. 4.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5, 1 row ofmain guide slots 31b and 1 row of mainradiating slots 31a may be provided, each row is slotted in a splay manner, and a copper strip with a width of 148mm is used as theouter conductor 3, so that the slot opening distance D is pi*19.2mm/2 ≈ 67.2mm, and the angle between themain guide slot 31b and themain radiation slot 31a is about 180 ° when wrapped on a leaky cable.
It is easy to understand that theslot 33 may be a straight slot, an eight-shaped slot or a u-shaped slot, which is the mainstream at present, or may be other slots such as an L-shaped slot, a T-shaped slot, an E-shaped slot or a triangular slot, which is not limited herein. Fig. 6 shows the arrangement of the slottedholes 33 when they are straight slots, and fig. 7 shows the arrangement of the slottedholes 33 when they are u-shaped slots.
