Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of communication antennas, in particular to a dual-beam radiation leaky-wave antenna.

Background

Leaky-wave antennas are attractive traveling-wave antennas with simple structure that provide frequency swept beams, narrow beams, high gain and low profile. Most periodic leaky-wave antennas introduce a series of periodic discontinuities (openings or slits) in a guided wave structure to generate radiation, and utilize the spatial harmonic theory to expand a periodic aperture field into an infinite number of spatial harmonic terms, wherein fast waves can radiate and slow waves are bound to the antenna aperture as surface waves. The radiation of this type of antenna is contributed by n-1 spatial harmonics, appearing as a single beam radiation pattern. In order to meet the requirement of multi-user communication, the dual-beam antenna or the multi-beam antenna has higher applicability, the dual-beam scanning antenna can simultaneously establish wireless connection with two users or equipment, and flexible and diversified beam coverage can be provided.

Common multi-beam antenna implementations are:

1) multi-beam phased array antenna

2) Multi-beam lens antenna

3) Multi-beam reflector antenna

However, the above prior art 1 needs to involve amplitude, phase distribution design and cell impedance design, and the feeding network of such a structure is very complicated; in the prior art 2, coma aberration is caused by the deviation of the feed source from the focal point of the lens, so that the level of a side lobe is increased, and the deflection angle of the feed source cannot be too large; the above prior art 3 requires a large profile and is not easy to integrate. Therefore, it is of practical value to design a dual-beam radiating antenna that is simple in feeding, low in profile, easy to integrate and process, and capable of achieving high gain and beam scanning.

the first stub and the second stub are respectively positioned on the same side of the microstrip line, and the first stub and the second stub are respectively overlapped in two different periods to form the dual-beam antenna.

Preferably, P₁Δ p denotes a unit distance between the first stubs, and has a value of 5 mm.

Preferably, P₂Δ p denotes a unit distance between the second stubs, and its value is 5 mm.

Preferably, the first stub and the second stub are perpendicular to the microstrip line.

Further, the length of the stub is 9.4mm, and the width of the stub is 2.5 mm.

Preferably, the microstrip line has a width of 3mm and a length of 300 mm.

Preferably, the metal floor is consistent with the dimension of the cross section of the medium plate.

Preferably, the first stub and the second stub are sequentially connected to the microstrip line at different periods, respectively, from one end of the microstrip line as a starting point, and the starting points of the first stub and the second stub are the same.
