Definitions
- the present invention relates to a microstrip antenna and a radar module, and more particularly to a microstrip antenna and a radar module capable of reducing diffracted waves generated at edges of a ground conductor.
- a microstrip antenna is one of antennas used in in-vehicle millimeter-wave radars.
- the microstrip antenna can be manufactured by a process of etching a conductor film on an insulating substrate, and therefore downsizing and cost reduction thereof can be achieved.
- antennas used in in-vehicle millimeter-wave radars have a smaller vertical-plane beam width to only focus on target objects on the road, while having a larger horizontal-plane beam width so as to provide a wide detection range.
- the antenna is likely to be affected by diffracted waves generated at edges of a ground conductor.
- diffracted waves interfere with an original received wave, a phase difference periodically varies with different horizontal angles of the beam. This variation causes ripples in an antenna gain and a phase radiation pattern, which degrades detection performances of the radar, such as angle measurement accuracy.
- Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique in which a passive element is provided on edges of an antenna substrate in a microstrip antenna, and the passive element has an electrical width of one-half of a wavelength of transmitted or received electromagnetic waves, so that diffracted waves generated from a radiation element side and diffracted waves radiated from an antenna substrate edge-side portion cancel out their phases with each other.
- Patent Literature 1 also has problems in that a receiving antenna is designed for only a single channel, and its frequency band is limited because the width of the passive element is one-half of the wavelength.
- the present invention has been achieved to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a microstrip antenna and a radar module capable of reducing diffracted waves generated at edges of a ground conductor, while suppressing cost increase.
- a microstrip antenna in which a ground conductor is provided to be opposed to a patch conductor, and along an edge of the ground conductor, a shape with a tapered tip end is provided in a repeated manner.
- diffracted waves generated at edges of a ground conductor are reduced, while suppressing cost increase.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a schematic configuration of a radar module according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line A-A′ in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of a schematic configuration of a ground conductor used in the radar module according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a plan view of a schematic configuration of a ground conductor used in a radar module according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a schematic configuration of a radar module according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line A-A′ in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of a schematic configuration of a ground conductor used in the radar module according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
- patch conductors 2 a to 2 d and 3 are formed on an antenna substrate 1 , while a ground conductor 8 is provided on a back surface of the antenna substrate 1 to be opposed to the patch conductors 2 a to 2 d and 3 , thereby constituting a microstrip antenna.
- the patch conductors 2 a to 2 d and 3 are respectively arranged in a certain direction with a predetermined space therebetween.
- the patch conductors 2 a to 2 d are connected respectively to feeding terminals 4 a to 4 d through feeding lines 6 a to 6 d, thereby constituting a receiving antenna RN for four channels CH 1 to CH 4 .
- the patch conductor 3 is connected to a feeding terminal 5 through a feeding line 7 , thereby constituting a transmitting antenna TN.
- the ground conductor 8 is formed over the entire back surface of the antenna substrate 1 .
- wedge shapes 14 are provided along edges of the ground conductor 8 in a repeated manner.
- an antenna polarization plane Pa forms an angle of 45 degrees
- the wedge shapes 14 are angled to intersect with the antenna polarization plane Pa. More preferably, the wedge shapes 14 are angled to intersect with the antenna polarization plane Pa at a right angle.
- Coupling slots 12 a to 12 d and 13 are formed on the ground conductor 8 .
- the coupling slots 12 a to 12 d and 13 are located to correspond to the respective positions of the feeding terminals 4 a to 4 d and 5 .
- the coupling slots 12 a to 12 d and 13 and the wedge shapes 14 are formed by patterning the ground conductor 8 . Particularly, the coupling slots 12 a to 12 d and 13 and the wedge shapes 14 are formed all at once during a process of etching the ground conductor 8 .
- a resin substrate of glass epoxy resin, Teflon (registered trademark) resin or the like can be used, or an insulating substrate of ceramic or the like can be used.
- a material of the patch conductors 2 a to 2 d and 3 the feeding lines 6 a to 6 d, the feeding terminals 4 a to 4 d, and the ground conductor 8 , a thin film of metal, such as Al and Cu, can be used.
- the patch conductors 2 a to 2 d and 3 can be formed into a rectangular shape, a polygonal shape, a round shape, an elliptical shape or the like.
- Circuit components 11 a to 11 e are mounted on a circuit board 9 , while a back surface of the antenna substrate 1 is bonded to the ground conductor 8 via a bonding layer 10 .
- the circuit board 9 can be a double printed board, a multilayer printed board or a build-up board.
- the circuit components 11 a to 11 e can be an integrated circuit, such as an IC, or an electronic component, such as a transistor, a resistor, and a condenser.
- the circuit components 11 a to 11 e generate a transmission wave to be transmitted through the transmitting antenna TN and perform a receiving process for a reflected wave received through the receiving antenna RN.
- the transmission wave generated on the circuit board 9 is transmitted to the feeding terminal 5 on the antenna substrate 1 through the coupling slot 13 .
- the transmission wave transmitted to the feeding terminal 5 is then transmitted to the patch conductor 3 through the feeding line 7 , so that electric power is supplied to the transmitting antenna TN to radiate the transmission wave into space.
- the receiving antenna RN When the transmission wave reaches a target, the receiving antenna RN receives a reflected wave from the target. When the reflected wave received by the receiving antenna RN reaches the patch conductors 2 a to 2 d, electric power is supplied to the feeding terminals 4 a to 4 d respectively through the feeding lines 6 a to 6 d to transmit the reflected wave to the circuit board 9 respectively through the coupling slots 12 a to 12 d.
- a receiving process based on a signal transmitted to the circuit board 9 is performed to calculate information on an azimuth of the target, information on a relative distance to the target, information on a relative speed to the target, and the like.
- horizontal plane scanning is performed electronically by signal processing, such as digital beamforming, thereby improving angle measurement accuracy on the horizontal plane.
- Diffracted waves are generated due to electric field components parallel to an outer periphery of the ground conductor 8 .
- the wedge shapes 14 are thus provided along the each edge of the ground conductor 8 in a repeated manner to reduce electric field components of the antenna polarization plane Pa that are parallel to the outer periphery of the ground conductor 8 , thereby reducing diffracted waves generated at the edges of the ground conductor 8 .
- it is possible to suppress interference of the diffracted waves with an original reflected wave, and thus it becomes possible to reduce ripples caused in an antenna gain and a phase radiation pattern. Therefore, detection performances of the radar, such as angle measurement accuracy, are improved even when a horizontal-plane beam width increases.
- the wedge shapes 14 are formed by the process of etching the ground conductor 8 . Therefore, when the wedge shapes 14 are formed all at once simultaneously with forming the coupling slots 12 a to 12 d and 13 , an increase in the number of processes can be prevented while eliminating the need for extra materials such as a radio wave absorber, thereby suppressing cost increase.
- FIG. 4 is a plan view of a schematic configuration of a ground conductor used in a radar module according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
- wedge shapes 15 are provided at the edges of the ground conductor 8 , in place of the wedge shapes 14 according to the first embodiment.
- the wedge shapes 14 according to the first embodiment are angled to intersect with the antenna polarization plane Pa of 45-degree polarization at a right angle.
- the wedge shapes 15 according to the second embodiment are formed to be located vertically with respect to the edges of the ground conductor 8 to intersect with an antenna polarization plane Pa′ of vertical polarization at a right angle.
- This configuration can reduce electric field components of the antenna polarization plane Pa′ that are parallel to the outer periphery of the ground conductor 8 , and thus reduce diffracted waves generated at the edges of the ground conductor 8 , even when the vertical polarization is used in place of the 45-degree polarization.
- the present invention is not limited to the wedge shapes 14 , but can use any shape as long as it has a tapered tip end, and can be a wave-curved shape, for example.
- the radar module according to the present invention can reduce diffracted waves generated at edges of a ground conductor while suppressing cost increase, and thus the radar module is suitable for a means for improving detection performances of an in-vehicle millimeter-wave radar, such as angle measurement accuracy.
