Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Traditional Beidou Navigation Satellite System anti-jamming array antennas mostly use PCB plates, but in extreme vibration environments, their rigidity may cause the antenna structure to be more susceptible to damage. Especially in an extremely high-temperature environment, it may cause thermal expansion, softening, and even melting of metal materials, which will affect the structure and performance of the antenna; In this paper, a Beidou array antenna integrating high seismic resistance, high-temperature stability, and anti-interference ability is designed and studied. The structural parts of the antenna are composed of 7075 aluminum alloy and high-temperature ceramic material technology, which has a compact structure and strong corrosion resistance, which is especially suitable for aviation and marine environments. The antenna works stably at 400 °C and has excellent heat resistance. Built-in shock-absorbing elements or shock-absorbing materials are used to effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy and reduce the direct impact on the internal components of the antenna. Considering the anti-interference performance caused by the size of the array spacing and the mutual coupling between the array elements, the array spacing is designed to be between λ/4 and λ/2. In simulations and experiments, the designed antenna array shows good performance and proves its applicability for high-temperature applications. The antenna frequency includes the B3 band (1250.618~1286.423 MHz) and B1 band (1559.052~1591.788 MHz) of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System. The following article includes the introduction, proposed array antenna structure and dimension, antenna simulation results, antenna protype and environment test, conclusions and future work.
