基于Marchand巴伦的超短波频段TCDA研究

    A Study on Ultra-short Wave Band TCDA Based on Marchand Balun

    • 摘要: 为了满足“十二五”双超天线对超宽带、超视距、低剖面、宽角扫描的需求,设计了一款频段为110 MHz~520 MHz的紧耦合偶极子阵列天线(TCDA)。该阵列天线由8×8个单元组成,采用二阶威尔金森功分器和集成Marchand巴伦的组合实现超宽带、平衡馈电、阻抗匹配功能,并共同构成了馈电网络,同时采用双振子单元结构抑制E面扫描共模谐振,且通过加载垂直频率选择表面层实现了H面扫描阻抗匹配。仿真和实测结果表明:该天线在110 MHz~520 MHz、±40°扫描角度内,电压驻波比典型值小于2.5,520 MHz时阵列天线增益为16.2 dB,天线整体剖面高度小于λlow/8。该超短波频段TCDA具有超宽带、宽角扫描、低剖面、易于集成的优点,填补了国内外在甚高频和特高频频段内TCDA设计的空白。

       

      Abstract: In order to meet the requirements of "The Twelfth Five Year Plan" dual super antennas for ultra-wideband, over the horizon, low profile, and wide-angle scanning, a tightly coupled dipole array antenna (TCDA) operating in the 110 MHz~520 MHz frequency band is designed in this paper. The array antenna consists of 8×8 elements, using a combination of second-order Wilkinson power divider and integrated Marchand Balun to achieve ultra-wideband, balanced feeding, and impedance matching functions, collectively forming a feeding network. Additionally, the structure of dual-dipole unit is adopted to suppress E-plane scanning common-mode resonance, and H-plane scanning impedance matching is achieved by loading a vertical frequency selective surface layer. The simulation and measurement results show that the typical voltage standing wave ratio of the antenna is less than 2.5 within ±40°scan angle and 110 MHz~520 MHz band. Moreover, the array antenna gain is 16.2 dB at 520 MHz, and the overall profile height of the antenna is less than λlow/8. The designed ultra-short wave band TCDA has the advantages of ultra-wideband, wide-angle scanning, low profile, and easy integration, which fills the gap in TCDA design at the very high frequency and the ultra-high frequency bands both at home and abroad.
