基于人工电磁表面的超低剖面全介质透镜天线

    An Ultra Low-Profile All-Dielectric Lens Antenna Based on Metasurface

    • 摘要: 利用不同厚度的亚波长介质块实现0 ~2π的相位变化,并基于惠更斯人工电磁表面原理设计了工作于28 GHz 通信频段的全介质电磁透镜,该电磁透镜的焦距与口径比(F / D)为0. 15。通过3D 打印制备该电磁透镜,并将其与基片集成波导(SIW)贴片天线进行集成,构造了超低剖面的宽带透镜天线。全波分析与实验测量结果显示该电磁透镜能够将原SIW 贴片天线的增益提高7 dB 左右,而将3 dB 波束宽度减小到10°左右,同时该透镜天线系统还具有良好的低副瓣。

       

      Abstract: In this paper, subwavelength dielectric blocks with varying thicknesses are introduced to realize 0 ~ 2π phase change. Based on Huygens' metasurface principle, such nonuniform building blocks are used to design an electrically- thin all-dielectric electromagnetic (EM) lens operated at 28 GHz communication band. The ratio of the focal length to aper- ture diameter (F/ D) of the lens is 0. 15. The EM lens is fabricated by a three-dimensional (3D) printer, and is integrated with a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) patch antenna to form an ultra low-profile lens antenna system. Both the simu- lated and measured results show that the all-dielectric lens can lead to about 7 dB gain increment and the great reduction of the 3 dB beamwidth, as well as very low side-lobe levels.
