摘要
设计了一种用于LoRa可穿戴设备的470 MHz和868 MHz紧凑型双频段开槽平面天线。天线辐射线由一个单极子加寄生分支组成,辐射线绕制在开槽参考地的边缘,从馈电口引出的最长单极天线能实现470~510 MHz低频段,寄生分支能实现863~868 MHz较高频段。在天线接地部分刻蚀出的环状槽能延长地电流的长度,降低天线Q值,有效拓展天线的带宽。辐射线和地布置在半径小于20 mm的圆形基板上,满足LoRa可穿戴设备多频带、微型化的要求。仿真和实测结果表明,该天线的回波损耗在两个频段范围均小于-10 dB,驻波比≤2,效率≥24.94%,各方向的辐射性能良好,远场测试增益大于-1.5 dBi。
A 470 MHz and 868 MHz compact dual-band slotted planar antenna for LoRa wearable devices was designed. The antenna radiation line was composed of a monopole and a parasitic branch, and the radiation line was wrapped around the edge of the slotted reference ground. The low frequency band 470 ~ 510 MHz was realized by the longest monopole antenna derived from the feed port, while the higher frequency band 863 ~ 868 MHz was implemented by the parasitic branch. The length of the ground current was extended by the annular groove etched on the ground portion, which reduced the Q value of the antenna and extended effectively the bandwidth of the line. The radiation line and ground was laid on a circular substrate, whose radius was only 20 mm, which satisfied the requirements of multi-band and miniaturization of the antenna design for LoRa wearable devices. Simulation and field measurement results showed that the echo loss of the antenna was less than-10 dB in both frequency bands, the VSWR≤2, the efficiency ≥24.94%, the radiation performance in all directions was good, and the far-field test gain was greater than-1.5 dBi.
