[0044] The terms used in the implementation section of this application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0045] GNSS includes GPS, BDS, Glonass, Galileo and other systems. The antenna of the GNSS module in the mobile terminal is generally only used as the receiving end. Since the orbit altitude of the GNSS navigation satellite is very high, the signal it transmits becomes very weak when it reaches the mobile terminal, so the antenna performance of the GNSS module in the mobile terminal is very high.

[0046] The performance of an antenna is related to its electrical size. When the electrical size of an antenna decreases, the input reactance of the antenna increases, the radiation resistance decreases, and the quality factor Q value increases accordingly, making the antenna's operating frequency band narrower and the performance lower. There are many ways to improve antenna performance, increase antenna efficiency and miniaturization. Commonly used technologies include:

[0047] (1) Loading technology: placing reactance elements, impedance elements, dielectric materials, etc. in a certain part of the antenna to improve the current distribution in the antenna, thereby changing the resonant frequency of the antenna or reducing the height of the antenna at the same operating frequency, changing the antenna radiation pattern, and improving the antenna radiation efficiency.

[0048] (2) Matching network technology: Improve the matching between the antenna and the feeding system through lumped parameter networks, distributed parameter networks, and matching networks that combine lumped parameters and distributed parameters, thereby improving the matching bandwidth of the antenna;

[0049] (3) Composite antenna technology: Antennas of different frequency bands are organically combined and processed through back-end processing such as microwave circuits so that they can work normally within their respective frequency bands.

[0050] However, the above technical solutions are all passive solutions. Although they can be used for impedance matching of antennas and improving their impedance bandwidth, they are subject to the gain-bandwidth theory, namely the Bode-Fano criterion, and the effect of improving the impedance bandwidth of antennas is very limited.

[0051] To this end, the present application proposes an impedance matching circuit and an antenna, which can improve the impedance bandwidth of the antenna on the basis of miniaturization of the antenna, thereby improving the antenna performance and increasing the efficiency and miniaturization degree of the antenna.

[0052] The impedance matching circuit provided in the present application can be applied to electronic devices with GNSS modules, such as mobile phones, wearable devices (eg, smart watches, smart glasses, etc.), point of sales (POS) terminals, and car computers, etc. A GNSS module refers to a device used to support GNSS.

[0053] The impedance matching circuit provided in the present application is implemented using a Non-Foster circuit. The impedance matching circuit of the present application is a circuit structure that does not conform to the Foster reactance theorem and has an impedance conversion function. The circuit can offset the capacitive reactance of the antenna, thereby achieving good impedance matching, reducing energy loss caused by mismatch, and improving the receiving efficiency of the antenna; the smaller the size of the antenna, the larger the reactance, and the more difficult it is to do impedance matching. The impedance matching circuit of the present application can offset a large range of reactance, so when the impedance matching circuit of the present application is used as the matching circuit of the antenna, the antenna size can be greatly reduced while improving the performance and efficiency of the antenna.

[0054] The theoretical basis of the impedance matching circuit of this application is the non-Foster reactance theory, which is proposed on the basis of the Foster reactance theory. The Foster reactance theory means that the derivative of the reactance curve of the passive component with respect to the frequency is always a positive value, that is, they increase with the increase of the frequency, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0055] Reactive elements with non-Foster properties, such as negative inductance and negative capacitance, completely violate the Foster reactance theory. The relationship between the ideal negative inductive reactance and negative capacitive reactance and the frequency is as follows: Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, it can be seen that the non-Foster reactance element does not consume energy, it just realizes energy conversion. The non-Foster reactance element can only be equivalently generated by an active circuit, and the active circuit that can equivalently generate the non-Foster reactance element is also called a negative impedance converter (Negative Impedance Converter, NIC) circuit.

[0056] In order to further illustrate the advantages of non-Foster matching networks in impedance matching, this application provides a comparison between a passive impedance matching network and a non-Foster impedance matching network, such as Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown in the figure. The matching objects of the two circuits are both electric dipole antennas. Figure 3A and Figure 3B In the figure, the black dotted line below the coordinate axis represents the capacitive reactance of the antenna, and the black solid line represents the matching results after using the two impedance matching methods. Figure 3A It means that the passive matching network with series inductance is used to match the impedance of the antenna. The matching result shows that the passive matching network can only make the reactance 0Ω at one frequency point, and the other frequency points still have a large reactance; Figure 3B The impedance matching results in show that the non-Foster impedance matching network can match the antenna reactance within the frequency band to make it 0Ω. Of course, the premise for obtaining this result is that it is assumed that the negative capacitive reactance equivalent to the non-Foster impedance matching network is in an ideal state, which is exactly the opposite of the antenna capacitive reactance.

[0057] Under ideal conditions, the non-Foster impedance matching network can completely transform the antenna input reactance, leaving only the resistance part of its input impedance. Although the non-Foster matching network cannot completely achieve complex conjugate matching for the antenna, it can transform the antenna into a pure resistance load, greatly improving the mismatch problem between the antenna and the signal source.

[0058] The impedance matching circuit of the present application can be used to match the capacitive reactance of an active planar inverted F (PIFA) antenna. In other words, the impedance matching circuit of the present application can be applied to a GNSS functional module provided with an active PIFA antenna.

[0060] The radiation unit 41 is parallel to the ground plane 40 , the short-circuit metal sheet 42 connects the radiation unit 41 and the ground plane 40 , and the probe 43 is used for signal transmission.

[0061] It should be noted that Figure 4 The PIFA antenna structure shown is only an example, and the impedance matching circuit of the present application can also be applied to PIFA antennas of other structures.

[0087] right Figure 8 By analyzing the circuit, the following four formulas (1)(2)(3)(4) can be obtained by the node method:

[0088]
