Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, since the size of the bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna is usually on the order of microns and the radiation area is small, the gain of a single bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna is low and the directivity is poor.
This has led to the low radiation gain of the bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna when it is applied in the radio frequency system, which limits its application range

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of antennas, in particular to a bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric array antenna and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] In the RF front-end device, the antenna plays an increasingly important role as a window for exchanging information with the outside world. The current antenna market is mainly dominated by electrically small antennas based on the working principle of current conduction, but because they radiate electromagnetic waves to the external field through electromagnetic resonance, their size is usually large and it is difficult to achieve miniaturization. Difficult impedance matching, low radiation efficiency and other disadvantages. Bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antennas use acoustic resonance to radiate electromagnetic waves to the external field. Since the wavelength of sound waves is much smaller than that of electromagnetic waves, the size of its devices can be greatly reduced. A...
