A very small focal to diameter ratio (F/D) transmitarray for compact antenna test range (CATR) application is proposed in this work. The transmitarray comprises a feed antenna, a metasurface for phase modulation (MPM), and another one for amplitude modification (MAM). The resulting CATR demonstrates a 50% quiet zone of the aperture size with ±0.5 dB amplitude and ±5° phase errors. The F/D (0.287) is at least an order of magnitude smaller than that of the tranditonal technique. More importantly, the cost is just a fraction of the conventional CATR. （专利已授权）

 

Based on ML-powered interpolation, the sampling distance can be as large as 0.7 wavelength (i.e., undersampling), the resulting accuracy is basically the same as that of the oversampled case (with < 0.5-wavelength sampling). The proposed fast plannar near-field testing method can reduce the measurement time by 1/3~2/3, compared to the conventional method.

3. 阵列天线解耦 Decoupling techniques for array antennas

In this work, a concept of decoupling ground is introduced. The mutual coupling is reduced by changing the shape of the ground plane under each element, so that the coupling from the free space and the ground plane can be out of phase and canceled with each other. A single-polarization linear array with 8 elements is simulated and measured to verify the concept. Examples of dual-polarization 2×2 and 4×4 arrays are also verified by simulations. In all of these cases, the isolation is enhanced efficiently without affecting the radiaiton characteristics. Like the array-antenna decoupling surface, the proposed decoupling technique is applicable for 5G massive MIMO array yet with a much lower profile.

In this work, baffle loaded by split-ring resonator (SRR) is proposed to reduce the mutual coupling for ± 45° dual-polarized base station array. Each baffle consists of two rectangular SRR printed on one side of a 1-mm FR4 substrate. The final decoupling structure contains four baffles forming a barrier wall that reduces the coupling over the 5G band of 3.4-3.8 GHz. Dual-polarized cross-dipole array with SRR loading baffles is simulated and measured to demonstrate their effectiveness in the coupling reduction. The results show that the mutual coupling can be effectively reduced below -25 dB over the entire bandwidth while maintaining a compact array.

In this work, we proposes a dielectric superstrate to reduce the couplings between co-polarized and cross-polarized antenna elements in realistic base station (BS) arrays. The mutual couplings are reduced by adjusting the permittivity and profile of the dielectric superstrate to create “reflected” waves to neutralize the original coupling wave. The dielectric superstrate is a simple structure that is easy to design and manufacture. A large dielectric board and four small dielectric blocks help reduce the couplings between horizontal and vertical antenna elements, whereas a dielectric pillar is added to suppress the coupling between diagonal elements. The superior decoupling performance (> 25-dB isolation) is demonstrated for dual-polarized BS arrays over the fifth generation (5G) frequency band of 3.3 - 3.8 GHz, without affecting the matching and radiation performances of the array elements.

Dual-band base station antenna (BSA) arrays with shared aperture have attracted considerable attention for 5G communication. The focus is mainly on decoupling between lower-band (LB) and higher-band (HB) antennas (i.e., cross-band decoupling). The in-band BSA decoupling techniques are usually not applicable to broadband dual-band shared-aperture BSA arrays. HB BSAs’ elements usually are separated by more than half-wavelength to reduce the in-band mutual coupling, which increases the array aperture and causes grating lobes for beam steering. Here, a novel decoupling technique of dielectric blocks is proposed to suppress the in-band couplings in dual-band shared-aperture BSA arrays. The dielectric blocks are placed above the HB elements to neutralize the original coupling by creating partially reflected waves (an addition wave path). A compact interleaved dual-band BSA array with dielectric blocks is designed and manufactured. The LB operates between 1.9 – 2.5 GHz, and the HB covers the 5G band from 3.3 – 3.9 GHz. The HB coupling is effectively reduced below -25 dB while the impedance matching and radiation performance of the HB and LB elements are maintained. Moreover, the dielectric blocks are implemented for stacked and interleaved dual-band BSA arrays with suppressed cross-band interference. The proposed decoupling method has simple structures, easy to design and fabricate, and is compatible with the existing cross-band decoupling techniques for different dual-band BSA array configurations.

In this work, a decoupling structure with polarization rotation property (DSPR) is proposed to reduce the mutual coupling between co- or cross-polarized antennas. The proposed DSPR generates a neutralization wave with two orthogonally polarized components that can be controlled to cancel the original mutual coupling. The DSPR is placed above the arrays with orthogonal and parallel dipole elements. After applying the DSPR, the mutual coupling at the center frequency of 3.5 GHz is reduced to -40 dB for both arrays, and the overall mutual coupling is better than -26 dB within the band of 3.3-3.7 GHz, and the reflection coefficients remain below -12 dB. The antennas maintain stable radiation patterns within the operation bandwidth with a 0.5-dB increase of the realized gain. Since the DSPR can effectively reduce both co- and cross-polarization coupling, the mutual coupling between circularly polarized antennas in a 1×4 array is reduced to below -35 dB thanks to the DSPR. （专利已授权）
