摘要

对于6G应用，该通信报告了第一个100 ghz频段全金属巴特勒矩阵的一维波束成形多波束天线的设计。多波束天线结合了一种新型的e平面沟槽隙波导（GGW）巴特勒矩阵和1 × 4 h平面喇叭阵列，这两部分相互连接，没有任何波导扭曲。由两个级联的隔膜偏振器组成的e平面波导交叉器完全符合标准的计算机数控（CNC）铣削工艺，用于实现所提出的e平面巴特勒矩阵。在喇叭元件内部装有几组金属块对，以减小纵向尺寸并提高增益。设计理念已通过原型验证，结果表明，所提出的多波束天线可以工作在95-110 GHz范围内，峰值增益为16.6 dBi，峰值效率为89%，波束覆盖范围为- 46°至46°。

A 95–110 GHz Fully Metallic Multibeam Antenna Fed by E-Plane Groove Gap-Waveguided Butler Matrix for 6G Applications

For 6G applications, this communication reports the very first design of a 100-GHz band full-metallic Butler matrix-based 1-D beamforming multibeam antenna. The multibeam antenna combines a novel E-plane groove gap-waveguided (GGW) Butler matrix and a

$1\times 4$

H-plane horn array, and these two parts are interconnected without any waveguide twists. An E-plane waveguide crossover formed by two cascaded septum polarizers, which can fully comply with the standard computerized numerical control (CNC) milling process, is used to implement the proposed E-plane Butler matrix. Sets of metal block pairs are loaded inside the horn element to reduce the longitudinal dimension and enhance the gain. The design concept has been verified by prototyping and it has been demonstrated that the proposed multibeam antenna can work over 95–110 GHz with a peak gain of 16.6 dBi, a peak efficiency of 89%, and a beam coverage of −46° to 46°.
