共口径双圆极化微带天线

针对圆极化天线轴比带宽较窄的问题，设计了一种由两个威尔金森功分器和两个环形电桥馈电的四馈双圆极化微带贴片天线。由于馈电网络不同端口在馈电时其输出信号相移方向相反, 因此可以辐射左、右旋圆极化波。双圆极化馈电网络具有结构简单、性能可靠特点。辐射贴片采用顶点相对的4个三角形贴片加载T形枝节, 并采用背馈的形式实现了天线紧凑的结构。在2.4~2.48 GHz频段内天线实测中心频点S₁₁小于-15 dB, 端口1的左旋圆极化轴比小于2 dB, 端口2的右旋圆极化轴比小于1.5 dB, 与同类型相近尺寸的天线相比具有较宽的轴比带宽。对其远场辐射方向图进行了仿真和测试, 结果表明这种四馈电结构改善了辐射方向图的对称性和轴比。     

Co-aperture arrangement of dual antennas for orientation and telemetry in a conformal cavity

The feasibility of making two antennas work within a shared aperture conformai to a platform like an aircraft or a missile is investigated. The shared aperture is enclosed by a deep cavity, which is covered by a columniform dielectric radome. A modified quadrifilar helix antenna （QHA） with extended volute arms and a vertical monopole with a ring shaped ground are arranged in this co-aperture for global position system （GPS） orientation and telemetry, respectively. The effects of the cavity on these two antennas and the mutual coupling between these two antennas are studied through large numbers of experiments. The results show that the QHA has a strong influence on the monopole; however, these two antennas of the overall arrangement can perform simultaneously well within the aperture. The QHA has a right hand circular polarization （RHCP） and a broad beam normal to the radome topside, meanwhile the monopole can be used to produce a main lobe in the grazing direction above the aperture in some certain cases of the vertical location of the QHA in the cavity.
