    Dual-polarized Slot Antenna Array Based on Substrate-integrated Coaxial Line

    • 摘要: 本文提出了一款应用于毫米波频段的基于基片集成同轴线(SICL)的8×8双极化缝隙天线阵列。传统的毫米波双极化阵列的馈电网络采用了垂直堆叠的方式,具有较高的剖面和加工成本。所提出的新型馈电网络利用SICL的双模复合特性,通过设计同轴模式到腔体模式的转换结构和双模功分网络来激发阵列的双极化辐射。该结构实现了双极化馈电网络在同一层内的集成并保持了较高的隔离度,有效地降低了天线的剖面。测试结果表明,该天线阵列的带宽覆盖24.1 GHz~27.8 GHz,隔离度大于30 dB,并表现出良好的双极化辐射性能。该阵列具有馈电网络简单、剖面低和易于加工等优点,在双极化高增益毫米波通信领域具有广阔的应用前景。

       

      Abstract: In this paper, an 8×8 dual-polarized slot antenna array using substrate-integrated coaxial line (SICL) is proposed for millimeter-wave. Traditional millimeter-wave dual-polarized arrays require vertically stacked feeding network, leading to high profile and increased manufacturing costs. The proposed innovative feeding network exploits the dual-mode composite characteristics of the SICL. The dual-polarized radiation of the array has been excited by designing a transition structure which transfers the coaxial mode to the cavity mode and a dual-mode power-dividing network. This design achieves the integration of the dual-polarized feeding network within a single layer while maintaining high isolation, effectively reducing the profile. The simulation results show that the proposed antenna array can achieve an overlapped bandwidth of 24.1 GHz~27.8 GHz, a high-isolation level over 30 dB and a good dual-polarized radiation performance. With the advantage of simple feeding structure, low profile and low manufacturing costs, the proposed array has the potential of wide application in dual-polarized high-gain millimeter-wave communication.
