DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure and do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0057] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used in the description of the present disclosure herein is only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0058] Microwave devices can be divided into microwave oscillators (microwave sources), power amplifiers, mixers, filters, detectors, microwave antennas, microwave transmission lines, etc. according to their functions. Through circuit design, these microwave devices can be combined into various circuit boards with specific functions. At the same time, these microwave devices are assembled into or the circuit boards are assembled into antenna systems (such as transmitters, receivers, antenna base stations, routers, etc.), smart terminals (mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, microwave induction devices, etc.) and other electronic devices.

[0059] In traditional microwave devices, the frequency range of the frequency selective surface is usually expanded by increasing the number of layers. However, the more layers there are, the greater the loss will be, which is not conducive to improving the overhead performance of the microwave device.

[0060] Based on the above, the present disclosure provides a microwave device. Compared with traditional microwave devices, the loss of the microwave device of the present disclosure is low within the same frequency selection range.

[0061] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure view of the microwave device shown in an embodiment is shown. Among them, Figure 1Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a microwave device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a microwave device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a microwave device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0062] In the embodiment, the microwave device 100 includes a receiving layer 110, a radiating layer 120 and a shielding layer 130, the impedance of the radiating layer 120 is matched with the impedance of the receiving layer 110; the shielding layer 130 is arranged between the receiving layer 110 and the radiating layer 120, and is insulated from the receiving layer 110 and the radiating layer 120 respectively, the shielding layer 130 is provided with a first slit 132 and a second slit 134, the first slit 132 intersects with the second slit 134; wherein the receiving layer 110 is coupled with the radiating layer 120 through the first slit 132 and the second slit 134.

[0063] The microwave device 100 adjusts the size of the first slit 132 and the second slit 134 to expand the frequency range of the microwave device 100, which is beneficial to reduce the number of layers of the microwave device 100, and thus can reduce the loss.

[0064] Meanwhile, it can be understood that the adjustment of the frequency range of the microwave device 100 by adjusting the first slit 132 and the second slit 134 has less process requirements compared with the traditional technology, and can be realized by using the traditional microstrip processing technology, which is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing cost of the microwave device 100.

[0065] In addition, the adjustment of the frequency range by adjusting the first slit 132 and / or the second slit 134 has a large degree of freedom, which can meet the design of various types of microwave devices 100 and / or microwave devices 100 with different sizes.

[0066] It should be noted that the intersection of the extension direction of the first slit 132 and the extension direction of the second slit 134 includes the direct intersection of the first slit 132 and the second slit 134, or the intersection of the extension direction of the first slit 132 and the second slit 134, or the intersection of the extension direction of the first slit 132 and the second slit 134.

[0067] For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the first slit 132 is in a first direction, and the second slit 134 is in a second direction, the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0068] It should be noted that the lengths of the "first slit 132" and the "second slit 134" can be selected according to the characteristics of the microwave device 100, and their length ranges from 0mm to 10mm. For example, the lengths of the "first slit 132" and / or the "second slit 134" are 1mm, 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc.

[0069] It should be noted that there are various ways to implement the "insulation setting" between the shielding layer 130 and the receiving layer 110 and the radiating layer 120, including insulation methods used in the manufacturing process of the circuit board 10. For example, it can be implemented using a substrate (dielectric layer 140).

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the microwave device 100 further includes a dielectric layer 140, with the shielding layer 130 and the receiving layer 110 insulated from each other by at least one dielectric layer 140; and / or, the shielding layer 130 and the radiating layer 120 are insulated from each other by at least one dielectric layer 140. Thus, the microwave device 100 of this disclosure can be manufactured using the manufacturing method of printed circuit board 10, which is beneficial for mass production. In particular, it can be manufactured using the manufacturing method of printed circuit board 10, which is beneficial for improving the precision of the microwave device 100 of this disclosure, thereby improving the radiation performance of the microwave device 100.

[0071] It should be noted that the material of "shielding layer 130" includes, but is not limited to, materials with electromagnetic shielding properties such as metal.

[0072] A specific embodiment of the “dielectric layer 140” includes a substrate.

[0073] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to implement the "receiving layer 110" and the "radiating layer 120", including but not limited to frequency selective surfaces.

[0074] like Figures 2 to 5 The figures shown are structural views of the microwave device 100 illustrated in some embodiments. Among them, Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the structure of the microwave device 100 shown. Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the structure of the microwave device 100 in another embodiment. Figure 4 This is a half-sectional schematic diagram of the microwave device 100 shown in another embodiment. Figure 5 This is a half-sectional schematic diagram of the microwave device 100 shown in another embodiment.

[0075] In some embodiments, the receiving layer 110 includes a first frequency selective surface 112. Thus, the first frequency selective surface 112 can be used to receive microwaves, making the design of the receiving layer 110 more flexible and capable of meeting the needs of receiving microwaves at different frequencies.

[0076] And / or, in some embodiments, the radiation layer 120 comprises a second frequency selective surface 122. In this way, the radiation of microwaves can be achieved by using the second frequency selective surface 122, so that the design of the radiation layer 120 is more flexible and can meet the microwave radiation of different frequencies.

[0077] Meanwhile, the manufacturing of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure is carried out by using the first frequency selective surface 112 and the second frequency selective surface 122, which is advantageous to improve the yield and reduce the cost of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure. Also, the range of the phase difference of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure can be larger. In this way, the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure has a large frequency selection range and a large phase selection range, and the antenna composed of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure has a wider bandwidth, which is advantageous to improve the performance of the antenna and further improve the performance of the electronic device 20 provided with the antenna. For example, the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure can be used for local optimization of spherical waves, thereby realizing a larger beam shaping capability.

[0078] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in some embodiments, the first frequency selective surface 112 and the second frequency selective surface 122 are microstrip patches; or the first frequency selective surface 112 and the second frequency selective surface 122 comprise a first metal sheet 102 and a first transmission gap 103 arranged on the first metal sheet 102; or one of the first frequency selective surface 112 and the second frequency selective surface 122 is a microstrip patch, and the other comprises a second metal sheet and a second transmission gap arranged on the second metal sheet. In this way, the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure can be combined with various frequency selective surfaces to meet different requirements.

[0079] In some embodiments, the radiation layer 120 can also comprise a metal sheet and a first gap 132 and a second gap 134 arranged on the metal sheet.

[0080] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the first frequency selective surface 112 is at least two layers and is stacked in turn; and / or the second frequency selective surface 122 is at least two layers and is stacked in turn. In this way, the coupling freedom of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure can be improved, which is advantageous to meet the design of high-phase microwave devices 100 (such as microwave devices 100 with a phase requirement > 360°, even > 500°).

[0081] It can be understood that when the order of the first frequency selective surface 112 and / or the second frequency selective surface 122 is continuously increased, that is, the equivalent LC filtering characteristics thereof are not equivalent to one inductor and one capacitor, the overall freedom of coupling will be further increased, and by appropriately selecting the size of the frequency selective surface, the radiation loss of the microwave device 100 can be further reduced, so that the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure has a larger phase range and lower loss and better performance.

[0082] Of course, in addition to adjusting the microwave device 100 by changing the number of layers of the receiving layer 110 and the radiation layer 120. In other embodiments, the adjustment of the phase difference of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure can also be achieved by changing the number of layers of the shielding layer 130.

[0083] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the shielding layer 130 is at least two layers, and is sequentially stacked between the receiving layer 110 and the radiation layer 120. In this way, the phase difference of the microwave device 100 can be adjusted by setting at least two layers of the shielding layer 130, and the optimization of the frequency selection range of the microwave device 100 can also be performed.

[0084] Of course, the number of layers of the receiving layer 110, the number of layers of the radiation layer 120, and the number of layers of the shielding layer 130 can be flexibly combined to improve the design flexibility of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure, and further meet various types of microwave devices 100 and / or different sizes of microwave devices 100.

[0085] It should be noted that the two adjacent "frequency selective surfaces" can be directly stacked or separated by a dielectric layer 140.

[0086] Similarly, the two adjacent "radiation layers 120" can be directly stacked or separated by a dielectric layer 140.

[0087] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the first slit 132 and the second slit 134 are in a strip shape and are arranged in a cross shape. In this way, the use of strip-shaped slits is beneficial to reduce the loss, and the cross arrangement is convenient for optimization, so that the performance of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure is better.

[0088] On the basis of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the first slit 132 and the second slit 134 are arranged perpendicular to each other. In this way, the first slit 132 is arranged along the first direction (such as the X direction or the horizontal direction), and the second slit 134 is arranged along the second direction (such as the Y direction or the vertical direction), which is convenient for regular adjustment (including length and width adjustment) of the first slit 132 and the second slit 134, so that the radiation performance of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure is better.

[0089] As shown in Figures 6 to 8 is a structure explosion view of the microwave device 100 shown in some embodiments. Among them, Figure 6 is a structure explosion view of the microwave device 100 in another embodiment. Figure 7 is a structure explosion view of the microwave device 100 in another embodiment. Figure 8An exploded schematic view of the structure of the microwave device 100 in another embodiment. Figure 9 An exploded schematic view of the structure of the microwave device 100 in another embodiment.

[0090] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments, the shielding layer 130 further comprises a coupling branch 136, which is arranged on the first slit 132 and / or the second slit 134. In this way, the coupling branch 136 can reduce the loss at the edge and improve the frequency selection range under the same size of the first slit 132 and the second slit 134, further improve the radiation effect of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure, and improve the performance.

[0091] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 to 9 In some embodiments, the coupling branch 136 comprises a first extended slit 104, which is arranged in parallel with the first slit 132 and connected to the second slit 134; and a second extended slit 105, which is arranged in parallel with the second slit 134 and connected to the first slit 132, and the second extended slit 105 is arranged on the shielding layer 130 in parallel with the first extended slit 104. In this way, the length of the first slit 132 is indirectly extended by the first extended slit 104, and the length of the second slit 134 is indirectly extended by the second extended slit 105, so as to expand the frequency selection range of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first extended slit 104 is at least two, and the second extended slit 105 is at least two. In this way, the length and number of the first extended slit 104 and the length and number of the second extended slit 105 are adjusted to expand the frequency selection range of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure, and the loss is reduced.

[0093] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the first slit 132 and / or the second slit 134 is a microstrip slit. In this way, the reliability of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure is improved, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0094] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the first slit 132 is at least two and arranged in parallel with each other; and / or, the second slit 134 is at least two and arranged in parallel with each other. In this way, the frequency selection range of the microwave device 100 can be flexibly expanded, and the design of the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure is more flexible and has less loss.

[0095] In any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the first slot 132 and the second slot 134 form a symmetrical pattern, and the center of the pattern coincides with the center of the shielding layer 130. In this way, the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure is optimized at the beginning of the design, interference is reduced, and it is easier to obtain adjustment rules, and then the length, width or depth of the first slot 132 and the second slot 134 can be adjusted according to actual needs to obtain the required microwave device.

[0096] For example, the first slot 132 and the second slot 134 form a "cross" pattern (as shown in Figure 3 ), or form a "Jerusalem" pattern (as shown in Figure 7 ), and the like.

[0097] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 10 , in some embodiments, a circuit board 10 is provided, which includes the microwave device 100 of any of the above embodiments.

[0098] The above-mentioned circuit board 10 uses the above-mentioned microwave device 100, and the microwave loss is low, which is beneficial to improve the radiation performance.

[0099] In this way, through circuit design, the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure can be integrated into various types of circuit boards 10, which corresponds to improve the radiation performance of various circuit boards 10 with specific functions.

[0100] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 11 , in some embodiments, an electronic device 20 is provided, which includes the microwave device 100 of any of the above embodiments or the circuit board 10 of the above embodiments.

[0101] The above-mentioned electronic device 20 uses the above-mentioned microwave device 100 or the circuit board 10, and the microwave loss is low, which is beneficial to improve the radiation performance, and further beneficial to improve the product performance of the electronic device 20.

[0102] In this way, the microwave device 100 of the present disclosure is assembled into an antenna system (such as a transmitter, a receiver, an antenna base station, a router, etc.), a smart terminal (a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a microwave induction device, etc.) or an electronic device 20, which is beneficial to improve the radiation performance of these electronic devices 20.

[0103] In some embodiments, a debugging method of a microwave device is provided, which includes:

[0104] A first slot and a second slot are formed on the shielding layer, wherein the first slot is in a first direction, the second slot is in a second direction, and the first direction intersects the second direction;

[0105] The shielding layer is arranged between the receiving layer and the radiation layer and is insulated from the receiving layer and the radiation layer to form the tested piece;

[0106] A first frequency selection range of the tested piece is obtained.

[0107] If the first frequency selection range does not meet the required frequency selection range requirement, the total length of the slot in the first direction and / or the total length of the slot in the first direction is extended or shortened, or the width of the first slot and / or the width of the second slot is enlarged or reduced until the first frequency selection range of the tested piece meets the frequency selection range requirement.

[0108] In this way, by using the debugging method of the microwave device, the required frequency selection range can be obtained by adjusting the total length of the slot in the first direction, i.e., indirectly or directly extending the length of the first slot, or by adjusting the total length of the slot in the second direction, i.e., indirectly or directly extending the length of the second slot, or by enlarging or reducing the width of the first slot and / or the width of the second slot. Compared with the conventional technology, the adjustment of the frequency selection range is more flexible. At the same time, when the frequency selection range is enlarged, the number of layers of the microwave device can be reduced, thereby reducing the loss.

[0109] With reference to the foregoing embodiments of the microwave device, the total length of the slot in the first direction includes adjusting the length of the first slot and / or adjusting the number of the first extended slots. The total length of the slot in the second direction includes adjusting the length of the second slot and / or adjusting the number of the second extended slots.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0117] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "under" the second feature can be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature "above", "over" and "on" the second feature can be that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature "below", "under" and "under" the second feature can be that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.
