[0028] As introduced in the background technology, the prior art lacks a method for reconstructing the directional pattern of an antenna. In order to solve the above problem, the present application proposes an antenna structure and an antenna system.
[0029] According to a typical embodiment of the present application, an antenna structure is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, the antenna structure includes a dielectric substrate 10, a parallel double line 20, a first dipole antenna 30, a second dipole antenna 40 and a reconstruction structure 50, wherein Figure 2 As shown, the dielectric substrate 10 includes a front side 101 and a back side 102 opposite to each other; the parallel double line 20 includes a front conductor 201 and a back conductor 202, the front conductor 201 is located on the front side 101, and the back conductor 202 is located on the back side 102; the first dipole antenna 30 includes a first radiation arm 301 and a second radiation arm 302, the second dipole antenna 40 includes a third radiation arm 401 and a fourth radiation arm 402, the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401 are located on the front side 101, the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402 are located on the back side 102, and the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401 are connected to the front conductor 201, respectively, and the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402 are connected to the front conductor 201, respectively. connected to the back conductor 202; the reconstruction structure 50 includes a front unit 501, a back unit 502 and a switch device 503, the front unit 501 is located between the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401, and the first end of the front unit 501 is connected to the front conductor 201; the back unit 502 is located between the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402, and the first end of the back unit 502 is connected to the back conductor 202; the first end of the switch device 503 is electrically connected to the second end of the front unit 501, and the second end of the switch device 503 is electrically connected to the second end of the back unit 502; wherein the parallel double line 20 is used to transmit radio frequency signals and control signals, and the control signal is a signal for controlling the switching state of the switch device.
[0030] The antenna structure includes a dielectric substrate, parallel double wires, a first dipole antenna, a second dipole antenna and a reconstruction structure, wherein the dielectric substrate includes a front side and a back side opposite to each other; the parallel double wires include a front conductor and a back conductor; the first dipole antenna includes a first radiation arm and a second radiation arm, and the second dipole antenna includes a third radiation arm and a fourth radiation arm; the reconstruction structure includes a front unit, a back unit and a switch device; the two ends of the switch device are respectively connected to the front unit and the back unit; the parallel double wires are used to transmit radio frequency signals and control signals. Compared with the problem of the lack of a method for reconstructing the antenna pattern in the prior art, the antenna structure of the present application controls the closure of the switch device through the control signal to introduce the impedance or phase value of the reconstruction structure into the antenna structure, thereby changing the shape of the pattern, realizing gain switching and radiation beam pitch angle switching, and realizing reconstruction of the antenna pattern. Moreover, in the present application, the above-mentioned radio frequency signal and the above-mentioned control signal are both transmitted by the above-mentioned parallel two-wire transmission, that is, the wireless performance of the same transmission structure and the reuse of the control signal are realized, and the influence of the control circuit on the antenna radiation is alleviated. At the same time, compared with the existing transmission of control signals and radio frequency signals in different ways, the present application simplifies the design and ensures that the manufacturing cost of the above-mentioned antenna structure is low. At the same time, since the above-mentioned switching device is loaded between the above-mentioned front unit and the above-mentioned back unit, rather than on the main radiation structure of the antenna, this also alleviates the influence of the switching device insertion loss on the antenna performance.
[0031] Specifically, the dielectric substrate includes PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluor ethylene) PCB (Printed Circuit Board), and of course, it can also be other plates. The second end of the first short section and the second end of the second short section are connected through a metallized via on the dielectric substrate, and the switch device is placed.
[0032] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, Figure 2As shown, the antenna structure further includes a signal feed point 60 and a reference point 70, wherein the signal feed point 60 is located on the front side 101 and on the same side of the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401, and the signal feed point 60 is connected to the front conductor 201; the reference point 70 is located on the back side 102 and on the same side of the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402, and the reference point 70 is connected to the back conductor 202, and the signal feed point 60 and the reference point 70 are respectively used to connect to the coaxial line to receive the RF signal and the control signal through the coaxial line. The signal feed point and the reference point receive the RF signal and the control signal through the coaxial line, so that while further ensuring the stable transmission of the RF signal, the switching state of the switch device is further controlled by the input of the electrical signal, thereby reconstructing the antenna pattern.
[0033] Specifically, the coaxial line includes an inner conductor and an outer conductor, the inner conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the signal feed point of the dielectric substrate, and the outer conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the reference point of the dielectric substrate. The signal feed point serves as the input point of the control signal and the radio frequency signal, and the reference point serves as the reference ground of the radio frequency signal and the low potential reference point of the control signal. The radio frequency signal is stably input, and the switching device is turned on and off by changing the input value of the control level, thereby changing the impedance or phase input of the reconstruction structure, thereby changing the antenna pattern.
[0034] In order to further ensure the good performance of the above antenna structure, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 As shown, the front unit 501 is perpendicular to the front conductor 201, and the back unit 502 is perpendicular to the back conductor 202. Of course, in actual application, the front unit may not be perpendicular to the front conductor, and the back unit may not be perpendicular to the back conductor. In this case, other additional structures need to be provided to adjust the non-perpendicular state to the same performance as the vertical state.
[0035] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, the lengths of the front conductor and the back conductor are respectively predetermined wavelengths, the predetermined wavelength is a wavelength corresponding to the working frequency band of the antenna structure, the first end of the front unit is located in the middle of the front conductor, and the first end of the back unit is located in the middle of the back conductor, that is, the front unit and the back unit are respectively located at 1 / 2 of the predetermined wavelength, and the length of the front unit and the length of the back unit are respectively one quarter of the predetermined wavelength.
[0036] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the first dipole antenna is an H-type dipole, and the second dipole antenna is an H-type dipole.
[0037] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401 are respectively symmetrical about the axis of the front conductor 201 , and the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402 are respectively symmetrical about the axis of the back conductor 202 .
[0038] It should be noted that the positional relationship between the first radiation arm and the third radiation arm is not limited to the above-mentioned symmetry about the front conductor axis, and the positional relationship between the second radiation arm and the fourth radiation arm is not limited to the above-mentioned symmetry about the back conductor axis.
[0039] The switch device can be any suitable two-terminal switch in the prior art, such as a diode, etc. According to another specific embodiment of the present application, the switch device is a PIN diode, a varactor diode or a MEMS switch. When the switch device is a PIN diode, the reconstruction structure is used for impedance adjustment as a variable impedance loading section; when the switch device is a varactor diode, the reconstruction structure is used for impedance adjustment and phase shift as a phase shift section.
[0040] The PIN diode is a diode with a PIN structure formed by adding a thin layer of low-doped intrinsic semiconductor layer between P and N semiconductor materials.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, the first dipole antenna and the first dipole antenna require the parallel two-wire feeding, and the PIN diode / varicap diode requires the control signal to generate a potential difference. Through the design of the variable impedance loading section (for the PIN diode) or the phase shifting section (for the varactor diode), the front conductor and the back conductor as the transmission line can be used as the control signal input line of the PIN tube at the same time, and the RF coaxial line welded at the front end can simultaneously feed the RF signal and the control signal, so as to realize the multiplexing of the wireless performance and control signal of the same transmission structure, greatly reduce the influence of the control circuit on the antenna radiation, simplify the design and reduce the cost. At the same time, since the switch device is loaded on the impedance / phase introduction section instead of the main radiation structure of the antenna, the influence of the insertion loss of the switch device on the antenna performance is also reduced.
[0042] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, when the switch device is turned on, the first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna work simultaneously, and when the switch device is turned off, the first dipole antenna or the second dipole antenna works.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the signal feed point and the reference point are respectively located on the side of the first dipole antenna away from the second dipole antenna. When a PIN diode is used, when the input control level is high, the switch device is turned on, and the reconstructed structure is equivalent to a parallel 1 / 4 wavelength short-circuit line. For the loading position of the structure on the parallel double line, the input impedance is infinitely small, which plays a role in current balance. The first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna work at the same time. When the input level is low, the switch device is disconnected, and the reconstructed structure is equivalent to a parallel 1 / 4 wavelength open line. For the loading position of the structure on the parallel double line, the input impedance is infinitely large, the signal is fully reflected at this place, and only the first dipole antenna works. When a varactor diode is used, when the input level is low, the switch device is disconnected, and the reconstructed structure is equivalent to a parallel 1 / 4 wavelength open line. For the loading position of the structure on the parallel double line, the input impedance is infinitely large, the signal is fully reflected at this place, and only the first dipole antenna works. When the input control level corresponds to the conduction of the strain capacitive diode and no capacitor is introduced, the above-mentioned switch device is turned on, no capacitor is loaded, and the above-mentioned reconstruction structure is equivalent to a parallel 1 / 4 wavelength short-circuit line. For the loading position of the structure on the above-mentioned parallel double line, the input impedance is infinitely small, which plays a role of current balance, and the above-mentioned first dipole antenna and the above-mentioned second dipole antenna work simultaneously; when the input control level corresponds to the conduction of the strain capacitive diode and a capacitor is introduced, the above-mentioned switch device is turned on, and there is a capacitor loaded, the current phase leads, and the above-mentioned reconstruction structure is equivalent to a parallel 1 / 4 wavelength open line, and also has a phase shifting effect. For the loading position of the structure on the above-mentioned parallel double line, the input impedance is infinitely small, the above-mentioned first dipole antenna and the above-mentioned second dipole antenna work simultaneously, and they are unequal phase fed.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, when the switch device is turned off, the reconstructed structure is in an open circuit state, the impedance introduced at this point is infinite, and when the signal reaches the parallel position of the reconstructed structure, total reflection occurs, and only the first dipole antenna works to achieve a low-gain wide-beam mode; as shown Figure 2 As shown, when a DC bias voltage is loaded on the inner core of the coaxial line, the switch is turned on, the reconstructed structure is in a short-circuit state, the impedance introduced at this point is infinitesimal, the stub has no effect on the original structure, and the first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna work simultaneously to achieve a high-gain narrow beam mode.
[0045] Specifically, Figure 3 to Figure 4As shown, when the switch is turned on, the maximum gain direction is on the horizontal plane, at which point the maximum gain is about 5dBi, and the 3dB beam width is about 45°; when the switch is turned off, the antenna maximum gain direction is tilted downward by 45° (θ=about 135°), at which point the maximum gain is about 3dBi, and the 3dB beam width is about 80°. Figure 5 As shown, the return loss of the antenna in the 5.15-5.5 GHz frequency band is less than -10 dB when the switch device is turned on and off, and better matching and radiation efficiency can be obtained.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, the above-mentioned antenna structure can realize omnidirectional radiation in the azimuth plane. The home WIFI communication system can operate in the 2-7 GHz frequency band, omnidirectional radiation in the azimuth plane, adjustable beam inclination angle in the elevation plane, and adjustable antenna gain and beam width, which is suitable for home communication products.
[0047] According to another typical embodiment of the present application, an antenna system is provided, comprising the above-mentioned antenna structure.
[0048] The above-mentioned antenna system, including the above-mentioned antenna structure, compared with the problem of the lack of a method for reconstructing the antenna pattern in the prior art, the above-mentioned antenna system of the present application controls the closure of the above-mentioned switch device through the above-mentioned control signal to introduce the impedance or phase value of the above-mentioned reconstruction structure into the above-mentioned antenna structure, thereby changing the shape of the pattern, realizing the gain size switching and the radiation beam pitch angle switching, and realizing the reconstruction of the antenna pattern. Moreover, in the present application, the above-mentioned radio frequency signal and the above-mentioned control signal are both transmitted by the above-mentioned parallel two-wire transmission, that is, the wireless performance and control signal multiplexing of the same transmission structure are realized, which alleviates the influence of the control circuit on the antenna radiation. At the same time, compared with the existing transmission of control signals and radio frequency signals in different ways, the present application simplifies the design and ensures that the manufacturing cost of the above-mentioned antenna structure is low. At the same time, since the above-mentioned switch device is loaded between the above-mentioned front unit and the above-mentioned back unit, rather than on the main radiation structure of the antenna, this also alleviates the influence of the insertion loss of the switch device on the antenna performance.
[0049] In a specific embodiment, the antenna system has a size of 90 mm*12 mm*0.75 mm, which is small and suitable for miniaturized terminal communication products.
[0050] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the antenna structure includes a signal feeding point and a reference point, the antenna system also includes a coaxial line, the coaxial line includes an inner conductor and an outer conductor, the inner conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the signal feeding point, and the outer conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the reference point.
