    Dual-circularly Polarized Metasurface Antenna Design

    • 摘要: 双圆极化天线凭借其能够有效减小多径效应、减少极化损耗、增大信道容量等优势,在无线通信领域被广泛使用。文中提出了一种双圆极化超表面天线,并给出了修正超表面结构实现圆极化性能的设计流程。首先通过特征模分析原始超表面结构本身的物理属性,根据特征电流分布改变超表面的结构,在工作频带内得到两个简并的特征模式;其次在选定的位置放置交叉垂直的微带馈线,利用槽耦合馈电的方式激励具有90°的相位差以及相同激励幅度的两个简并模式,从而实现双圆极化辐射。最终设计的天线测试的端口1和端口2轴比带宽分别为24.8%和20.2%,实现了较好的双圆极化辐射。此外,两个端口的测试增益都在5 dBi左右,在带内具有稳定的辐射增益。

       

      Abstract: Dual-circularly polarized antennas are widely used in the field of wireless communication due to their advantages of effectively reducing multipath effects, reducing polarization losses and increasing channel capacity. In this paper, a dual-circularly polarized metasurface antenna is proposed and it provides a design procedure for modifying the metasurface structure to achieve circular polarization performance. Firstly, the physical properties of the original metasurface structure are analyzed using characteristic mode analysis. Based on the distribution of characteristic currents, the metasurface structure is modified to obtain two degenerate characteristic modes within the operating frequency band. Secondly, cross-shaped microstrip feedlines are strategically positioned and fed using slot-coupling to excite the two degenerate modes with a phase difference of 90 degrees and equal excitation amplitudes, thereby achieving dual circular polarization radiation. The antenna exhibits a measured axial ratio bandwidth of 24.8% and 20.2% at the port-1 and port-2, respectively, indicating excellent dual circular polarization radiation. Additionally, both ports exhibit a stable radiation gain of around 5 dBi within the operating band.
