摘要
多天线系统的互耦削减是当代无线通信技术关注的热点之一。开发出一种基于互补交叉弯曲线刻蚀阵列、适合用平面印刷电路工艺制作的二维准各向同性波导式带阻结构,通过在贴片单元之间加载此类波导式带阻结构实现了紧凑的弱互耦三元和四元微带贴片天线阵。实验结果显示不同阵元间耦合在中心频率上降低了8 dB~30 dB,验证了此类波导式带阻结构削减相邻微带贴片阵元间耦合的有效性。所提的去耦方法对贴片阵元的辐射性能影响很小。
Reduction of mutual coupling for multi-antenna system is an one of the hot topics of modern wireless communication technology. A novel planar waveguided band-gap structure(WG-BGS)based on periodic array of complementary-crossed-meander-line(CCML)etched in metal plate was developed. It exhibits nearly isotropic band-gap property and is easy to fabricate with PCB art. By inserting the WG-BGS between neighboring patch elements,compact three-element and four-element patch arrays with reduced mutual couplings were realized. The measurement results of those patch arrays show that the mutual couplings between different patch elements have been reduced by 8 dB to 30 dB,verifying the validity of the proposed WG-BGS decoupling technique. The proposed de-coupling technique has little influence on the radiation performance of patch elements.
