Abstract

A radiation array group includes three columns of radiating elements: a plurality of first radiating elements in a first column, a plurality of second radiating elements in a second column, and a plurality of third radiating elements in a third column. A first radiating element and a third radiating element in a same row are electrically connected. Each radiating element of the plurality of first, second, and third radiating elements belongs to a first element group for forming a first two-port radiation array group or a second element group for forming a second two-port radiation array group. When the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row belong to the first element group, a second radiating element between the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row belongs to the second element group.

Claims (34)

1 . A radiation array group comprising:

three columns of radiating elements including a plurality of first radiating elements in a first column, a plurality of second radiating elements in a second column, and a plurality of third radiating elements in a third column,

wherein:

a first radiating element and a third radiating element in a same row are electrically connected;

each radiating element of the plurality of first radiating elements, the plurality of second radiating elements, and the plurality of third radiating elements belongs to a first element group for forming a first two-port radiation array group or a second element group for forming a second two-port radiation array group; and

when the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row belong to one of the first element group and the second element group, a second radiating element between the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row belong to the other one of the first element group and the second element group.

2 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , wherein the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row are electrically connected via a power splitter.

3 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , wherein the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row are in the same row with the second radiating element between the first radiating element and the third radiating element.

4 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , wherein the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row are in a different row than the second radiating element between the first radiating element and the third radiating element.

5 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , wherein each column of the three columns of radiating elements includes four radiating elements.

6 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , wherein each column of the three columns of radiating elements includes six radiating elements.

7 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first radiating elements in the first column are alternately included in the first element group and the second element group.

8 . The radiation array group according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of second radiating elements in the second column are alternately included in the second element group and the first element group.

9 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , wherein a first quantity of radiating elements in the first element group is the same as a second quantity of radiating elements in the second element group.

10 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first independent array radiating element group and a second independent array radiating element group respectively at a first row and a last row away from center positions, the first independent array radiating element group and the second independent array radiating element group each including at least two radiating elements, and the at least two radiating elements of the first independent array radiating element group belonging to the first element group, and the at least two radiating elements of the second independent array radiating element group belonging to the second element group.

11 . The radiation array group according to claim 1 , further comprising a reflection board configured to fix the three columns of radiating elements at the reflection board.

12 . A narrow-beam antenna comprising:

a radiation array group; and

a power-dividing board connected to the radiation array group,

wherein the radiation array group comprises:

three columns of radiating elements including a plurality of first radiating elements in a first column, a plurality of second radiating elements in a second column, and a plurality of third radiating elements in a third column,

wherein:

a first radiating element and a third radiating element in a same row are electrically connected;

each radiating element of the plurality of first radiating elements, the plurality of second radiating elements, and the plurality of third radiating elements belongs to a first element group for forming a first two-port radiation array group or a second element group for forming a second two-port radiation array group; and

when the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row belong to one of the first element group and the second element group, a second radiating element between the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row belong to the other one of the first element group and the second element group.

13 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein the narrow-beam antenna is a 45-degree beam antenna.

14 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein the narrow-beam antenna has four ports.

15 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row are electrically connected via a power splitter.

16 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row are in the same row with the second radiating element between the first radiating element and the third radiating element.

17 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein the first radiating element and the third radiating element in the same row are in a different row than the second radiating element between the first radiating element and the third radiating element.

18 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein each column of the three columns of radiating elements includes four radiating elements.

19 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein each column of the three columns of radiating elements includes six radiating elements.

20 . The narrow-beam antenna according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of first radiating elements in the first column are alternately included in the first element group and the second element group.
