    Design of an Ultra-wideband Dual-polarized Vivaldi Array Antenna Based on Triangular Lattice Arrangement

    • 摘要: 针对多功能一体化相控阵系统的超宽带、多极化需求,本文提出了一种三角栅格排布的超宽带双极化Vivaldi天线阵列。与传统的双极化Vivaldi天线阵列相比,阵列单元及对应收发有源通道数量可减少约15%,天线结构排布更加紧凑,研制成本大幅降低。设计平面耦合的双极化馈电结构,降低了Vivaldi天线阵列剖面高度。本天线阵列可采用金属工艺和PCB工艺相结合来加工实现,保证天线具有良好的散热特性和高功率容量,更加适合天线轻量化集成设计。本天线通过介质挖槽、地面挖腔、短路针等方式抑制带内谐振点,最终仅需要辐射体、地面和两层介质进行馈电,即可实现3 GHz~11 GHz的双极化超宽带阻抗匹配,在±30°圆锥面内驻波小于3。

       

      Abstract: With the requirements of ultra-wideband and multi-polarization for the multifunctional integrated phased array system, a broadband dual-polarized Vivaldi array antenna based on triangular lattice arrangement is proposed. Different from conventional dual-polarized Vivaldi array antennas, the proposed array with a triangular lattice offers a 15% reduction in the number of array elements and corresponding transceiving active channels, thereby reducing the cost and weight of the antenna system. In this paper, the dual-polarized Vivaldi antenna adopts a planar coupled feeding structure to reduce the profile height. Different from conventional Vivaldi antenna, a combination of metallic structure and PCB structure is employed to ensure good heat dissipation and high power capacity, while reducing the antenna weight and enhancing robustness. The methods of substrate grooving, ground cavity etching, and shorting pins are utilized to suppress in-band resonance points. Eventually, only the metallic radiator, ground, and two dielectric feed layers are required to achieve 3 GHz~11 GHz dual-polarized ultra-wideband impedance matching, with the standing wave below 3 within the ±30° conical scanning range.
