Handset terminal antenna for mobile satellite communication system

Abstract

The invention discloses a handset terminal antenna for a mobile satellite communication system. The handset terminal antenna comprises a four-arm spiral antenna, a circular polarization network component and an antenna shell, wherein the four-arm spiral antenna comprises first to fourth helical arm patches and a dielectric cylinder; the first to fourth helical arm patches are printed on the outer wall of the dielectric cylinder; the dielectric cylinder is fixedly arranged on the circular polarization network component; the antenna shell is arranged on the outer side of the dielectric cylinder; the circular polarization network component comprises first to fourth micro-strip patches and an LTCC (Low Temperature Co Fired Ceramic) circular polarization network; certain ends of the first to fourth micro-strip patches are connected with four output ports of the LTCC circular polarization network respectively, and the other ends of the first to fourth micro-strip patches are connected with the first to fourth helical arm patches respectively; an input port of the LTCC circular polarization network is a radio frequency connector; the radio frequency connector is connected with a radio frequency circuit of a handset terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an antenna applied to a mobile satellite communication system, in particular to a handheld terminal antenna used in a mobile satellite communication system. Background technique [0002] Satellite communication terminals usually have two frequency bands for sending and receiving, so the satellite communication handset antenna requires dual-band work. The ordinary quadrifilar helical antenna is a resonant antenna with a narrow bandwidth, so it is necessary to study broadband or dual-frequency quadrifilar helical antennas. [0003] Due to the limitation of the size of the handset, the antenna of the handset not only has requirements on the working frequency band and gain, but also has certain restrictions on its size. The s-band handheld antenna requires a diameter within 15mm and a height within 90mm. [0004] At present, there are mainly two types of quadrifilar helical antennas. One is to directly wind a metal wire into a he...

Problems solved by technology

In this article, two antennas with similar structures working in different frequency bands are formed into a whole in an internal and external coaxial manner to achieve dual-frequency operation. The advantage is that both frequency bands have achieved better wide-beam circular polarization performance. The disadvantage is that The two antennas are wound with metal wires. In addition to the heavy weight, the volume is also difficult to meet the requirements for the handheld antenna.
