  • 摘要: 针对高功率微波系统宽频带和波束扫描需求,提出并设计了一种基于可变电容的X波段高功率宽频带波束扫描反射阵列天线。天线采用线极化喇叭馈源和三明治介质埋藏式贴片单元,其中贴片部分为嵌套式双谐振结构集成可变电容,同步拓宽相位调节范围(360°)与工作带宽。通过消除单元突变结构并采用三明治介质层,有效抑制了三相点产生,使功率容量提升至5 MW(0.1 MPa气压SF6环境)。调节可变电容容值可实现8.55~9.65 GHz频段内12%相对调谐带宽。基于11×11矩形栅格的反射阵仿真表明:242 mm口径阵列天线最大增益25.12 dBi,口径效率54.39%,全频带支持0°~20°波束扫描。相较于现有技术,该设计在调谐带宽(12%)和功率容量(5 MW)方面具有优势,为高功率微波系统的宽频带波束控制提供了有效途径。

     

    Abstract: To address the wideband and beam scanning requirements of high-power microwave (HPM) systems, this paper proposes an X-band varactor-based high-power wideband beam-scanning reflectarray antenna. The antenna employs a linearly polarized horn feed and a sandwich-structured embedded patch element, where the nested dual-resonance structure integrated with varactors simultaneously extends the phase tuning range (360°) and operational bandwidth. By eliminating abrupt structural discontinuities and adopting a sandwich dielectric configuration, the design effectively suppresses triple-junction formation, achieving a power capacity of 5 MW in 0.1 MPa SF6 environment. Varactor capacitance adjustment enables a 12% relative tuning bandwidth within 8.55−9.65 GHz. Simulations of an 11×11 rectangular grid reflectarray demonstrate a maximum gain of 25.12 dBi with 54.39% aperture efficiency for a 242 mm aperture and full-band 0°−20° beam scanning capability. Compared with existing technologies, this design exhibits superior tuning bandwidth (12%) and power capacity (5 MW), providing an effective solution for wideband beam control in HPM systems.
