Abstract

A power divider network includes a cover plate, a reflection plate, a support component, and a feed line. The reflection plate is arranged separately from the cover plate. A first surface of the reflection plate is a reflection surface. A plurality of connectors protrude from a second surface of the reflection plate opposite to the reflection surface. The plurality of connectors are arranged at intervals. The plurality of connectors are coupled with the cover plate and divide the space between the reflection plate and the cover plate into at least one hollow chamber. The support component is at least partially arranged in the hollow chamber. The feed line is arranged in the hollow chamber and mounted at the support component.

Claims (32)

1 . A power divider network comprising:

a cover plate;

a reflection plate arranged separately from the cover plate, a first surface of the reflection plate being a reflection surface, wherein a plurality of connectors protrude from a second surface of the reflection plate opposite to the reflection surface, are arranged at intervals and electrically connected to the cover plate, and divide a space between the reflection plate and the cover plate into at least one hollow chamber;

a support component made of plastic and at least partially arranged in the hollow chamber; and

a feed line arranged in the hollow chamber and mounted at the support component.

2 . The power divider network according to claim 1 , wherein:

the feed line is a strip line structure or a microstrip line structure.

3 . The power divider network according to claim 1 , wherein:

a first distance exists between the feed line and the cover plate, and a second distance exists between the feed line and the reflection plate.

4 . The power divider network according to claim 1 , wherein:

the cover plate is made of metal, or a surface of the cover plate includes a metal plating layer; and

the reflection plate is made of metal, or a surface of the reflection plate includes a metal plating layer.

5 . The power divider network according to claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of connectors are arranged along a first direction of the reflection plate at intervals and extend along a second direction of the reflection plate; and

the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

6 . The power divider network according to claim 1 , wherein:

the support component point-supports or surface-supports the feed line.

7 . The power divider network according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the hollow chamber is a rectangle, circle, or polygon.

8 . An antenna structure comprising:

a radiation unit;

a power divider network, comprising:

a cover plate;

a reflection plate arranged separately from the cover plate, a first surface of the reflection plate being a reflection surface, wherein a plurality of connectors protrude from a second surface of the reflection plate opposite to the reflection surface, are arranged at intervals and electrically connected to the cover plate, and divide a space between the reflection plate and the cover plate into at least one hollow chamber;

a support component made of plastic and at least partially arranged in the hollow chamber; and

a feed line arranged in the hollow chamber and mounted at the support component;

wherein the radiation unit is arranged on the reflection surface of the reflection plate and electrically connected to the feed line.

9 . The antenna structure according to claim 8 , wherein:

an adjustment member protrudes from the reflection surface of the reflection plate; and

a wave width of an antenna is adjusted by adjusting a height of the adjustment member protruding from the reflection surface.

10 . The antenna structure according to claim 8 , wherein the feed line is electrically connected to the radiation unit through a phase difference network.

11 . The antenna structure according to claim 8 , wherein the radiation unit is a dipole radiation unit, and the feed line is electrically connected to the dipole radiation unit.

12 . The antenna structure according to claim 8 , wherein the radiation unit is a slot feed radiation unit, and the feed line is electrically connected to the slot feed radiation unit.
