[0034] Please also read Figures 1 to 3 It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application provides an antenna structure 100, which can be applied to an electronic device 200 to transmit and receive radio waves to transmit and exchange wireless signals. The electronic device 200 can be a handheld communication device (such as a mobile phone), a folding machine, a smart wearable device (such as a watch, a headset, etc.), a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0035] For example, Figure 1 The antenna structure 100 can be applied to an electronic device 200, and the electronic device 200 is a mobile phone. Figure 2 The antenna structure 100 can be applied to an electronic device 200, and the electronic device 200 is a watch. Figure 3 The antenna structure 100 can be applied to an electronic device 200, which is a tablet computer. Figures 1 to 3 , the antenna structure 100 can be arranged in the area 200a shown in the figure. The area 200a is the position or area where the electronic device 200 is provided with a gap 200b.

[0036] It can be understood that the electronic device 200 can adopt one or more of the following communication technologies: Bluetooth (BT) communication technology, global positioning system (GPS) communication technology, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication technology, global system for mobile communications (GSM) communication technology, wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) communication technology, long term evolution (LTE) communication technology, 5G communication technology, SUB-6G communication technology and other future communication technologies.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 200 is taken as an example to be described as a mobile phone.

[0038] Please also read Figure 4 In one embodiment, the electronic device 200 at least includes a housing 201 and a display unit 202. The housing 201 at least includes a frame 203 and a back panel 204 (see Figure 5 The frame 203 is made of metal or other conductive materials. A notch 205 is formed on the frame 203.

[0039] Please also read Figure 5 The back plate 204 can be made of metal or other conductive materials. The frame 203 is arranged at the edge of the back plate 204 and forms a receiving space 206 together with the back plate 204 (see Figure 6 ). An opening (not shown) is provided on one side of the frame 203 relative to the back plate 204 for accommodating the display unit 202. The display unit 202 has a display plane, which is exposed in the opening. It can be understood that the display unit 202 can be combined with a touch sensor to form a touch screen. A touch sensor can also be called a touch panel or a touch-sensitive panel.

[0040] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the display unit 202 has a high screen-to-body ratio. That is, the display plane area of ​​the display unit 202 is greater than 70% of the front area of ​​the electronic device, and can even be a full screen on the front. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the full screen means that except for the necessary slots opened on the antenna structure 100, the left side, right side, and bottom side of the display unit 202 can be seamlessly connected to the frame 203.

[0041] Please refer again Figure 4In one embodiment, the antenna structure 100 includes an antenna module 11. The antenna module 11 is disposed in the housing 201 and corresponds to the notch 205.

[0042] It can be understood that in one embodiment, the antenna module 11 can be a 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) antenna, which can excite the 28 GHz frequency band of the 28 GHz mode (frequency range 27.5-28.35 GHz) and the 39 GHz frequency band of the 39 GHz mode (frequency range 37-40 GHz).

[0043] It is understood that in one embodiment, the antenna module 11 is spaced apart from the frame 203. For example, in one embodiment, the antenna module 11 can be parallel to the frame 203 and spaced apart. For another example, in another embodiment, the antenna module 11 can be non-parallel to the frame 203 and spaced apart. It is understood that the distance between the antenna module 11 and the frame 203 can be adjusted according to the frequency.

[0044] It can be understood that in one embodiment, the antenna module 11 is arranged corresponding to the notch 205, and the notch 205 can be filled with insulating materials, such as plastic, rubber, glass, wood, ceramic, etc., but not limited thereto. In addition, the notch 205 can shield or partially shield the antenna module 11. For example, in one embodiment, the size of the notch 205 is greater than or equal to the size of the antenna module 11, and the projection of the notch 205 in the first direction (such as the z-axis direction shown in the figure) completely shields the projection of the antenna module 11 in the first direction. At this time, the metal part of the frame 203 (such as the first part 207 and / or the second part 208) does not shield the antenna module 11. In another embodiment, the size of the notch 205 is smaller than the size of the antenna module 11, and the projection of the notch 205 in the first direction partially shields the projection of the antenna module 11 in the first direction. At this time, the metal part of the frame 203 (such as the first part 207 and / or the second part 208) also shields part of the antenna module 11. Alternatively, in another embodiment, although the size of the notch 205 is greater than or equal to the size of the antenna module 11, the projection of the notch 205 in the first direction only partially shields the projection of the antenna module 11 in the first direction. In this case, the metal portion of the frame 203 (e.g., the first portion 207 and / or the second portion 208) also shields a portion of the antenna module 11.

[0045] Understandable, please refer to Figure 5In the embodiment of the present application, the frame 203 is further provided with the slit 200b. The slit 200b partitions the frame 203 to divide the frame 203 into a first portion 207 and a second portion 208 that are spaced apart. In one embodiment, the slit 200b may be connected to the notch 205 and filled with insulating material, such as plastic, rubber, glass, wood, ceramic, etc., but not limited thereto. It is understood that in one embodiment, the width of the slit 200b is approximately 1 mm-2 mm.

[0046] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the first part 207 and the second part 208 may not be used as independent antenna radiators. When the first part 207 and the second part 208 do not serve as independent antenna radiators, the antenna module 11 can couple the signal to the first part 207 and the second part 208, that is, the first part 207 and the second part 208 are radiated in a coupled manner. That is, the first part 207 and the second part 208 serve as coupled radiators. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the coupling distance between the first part 207 and the second part 208 and the antenna module 11 can be adjusted according to the required impedance to achieve maximum bandwidth and optimal efficiency.

[0047] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first portion 207 and the second portion 208 may be provided with corresponding feeding sources to serve as independent radiators (see details below) and thus operate in corresponding frequency bands.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the first portion 207 and the second portion 208 may not directly serve as radiators, that is, they do not participate in the coupling and radiation of signals.

[0049] Please also read Figure 6 and Figure 7 ,in, Figure 6 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the electronic device 200 at another angle. Figure 7 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the electronic device 200. In the embodiment of the present application, the housing 201 in the electronic device 200 further includes a ground plane 209 and a middle frame 210.

[0050] The ground plane 209 can be made of metal or other conductive materials. The ground plane 209 can be disposed in the accommodation space 206 enclosed by the frame 203 and the back plate 204 , and connected to the back plate 204 .

[0051] The middle frame 210 is made of metal or other conductive materials. The shape and size of the middle frame 210 may be slightly smaller than the ground plane 209. The middle frame 210 is stacked on the ground plane 209. In this embodiment, the middle frame 210 is a metal sheet disposed between the display unit 202 and the ground plane 209. The middle frame 210 is used to support the display unit 202, provide electromagnetic shielding, and improve the structural strength of the electronic device 200.

[0052] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the frame 203, the back plate 204, the ground plane 209 and the middle frame 210 can form an integrally formed metal frame. The back plate 204, the ground plane 209 and the middle frame 210 are large-area metals, and thus can together form the system ground plane of the antenna structure 100 (not shown).

[0053] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the electronic device 200 may also include one or more of the following components, such as a processor, a circuit board, a memory, a power supply component, an input and output circuit, an audio component (such as a microphone and a speaker, etc.), a multimedia component (such as a front camera and / or a rear camera), a sensor component (such as a proximity sensor, a distance sensor, an ambient light sensor, an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, a magnetic sensor, a pressure sensor and / or a temperature sensor, etc.), etc., which are not elaborated here.

[0054] Please also read Figure 8 In the embodiment of the present application, the antenna structure 100 further includes at least a first feeding source 12 , a connecting portion 13 , a switching unit 14 , a second feeding source 15 and a grounding portion 16 .

[0055] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the first feed source 12 is a monopole antenna feed source. The first feed source 12 is arranged on the inner side of the first part 207. One end of the first feed source 12 can be electrically connected to the first part 207 by means of a spring, a microstrip line, a strip line, a coaxial cable, etc., so as to feed a current signal to the first part 207, so that the first part 207 constitutes a corresponding antenna radiator. The other end of the first feed source 12 is electrically connected to the system ground plane, that is, grounded.

[0056] The connecting portion 13 is arranged on the inner side of the first part 207. The connecting portion 13 can be a grounding portion or a middle band conditioner (MBC). The MBC can be an inductor and / or a capacitor. The connecting portion 13 is arranged at a position of the first part 207 close to the gap 200b. One end of the connecting portion 13 is electrically connected to the first part 207, and the other end is electrically connected to the system ground plane, i.e., grounded. When the connecting portion 13 is an MBC, it is used to adjust the intermediate frequency band of the first part 207 and greatly improve its bandwidth and antenna efficiency.

[0057] The switching unit 14 is disposed inside the first portion 207. The switching unit 14 is spaced apart from the first feeding source 12 and the connecting portion 13, and is disposed on a side of the first feeding source 12 away from the connecting portion 13. One end of the switching unit 14 is electrically connected to the first portion 207. The other end of the switching unit 14 is electrically connected to the system ground plane, i.e., grounded, for switching various low-frequency modes of the first portion 207.

[0058] The second feed source 15 is a monopole antenna feed source. The second feed source 15 is disposed inside the second portion 208. One end of the second feed source 15 can be electrically connected to the second portion 208 by means of a spring, a microstrip line, a strip line, a coaxial cable, etc., to feed a current signal to the second portion 208, so that the second portion 208 constitutes a corresponding antenna radiator. The other end of the second feed source 15 is electrically connected to the system ground plane, i.e., grounded.

[0059] The grounding portion 16 is disposed inside the second portion 208. The grounding portion 16 is located between the connecting portion 13 and the second feeding source 15, and is closer to the gap 200b than the second feeding source 15. One end of the grounding portion 16 is electrically connected to the second portion 208, and the other end is electrically connected to the system ground plane (i.e., ground), so as to provide grounding for the second portion 208.

[0060] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the antenna module 11 is in the second direction (the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, for example Figure 5 The projection in the x-axis direction shown in FIG. 2 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first portion 207 and / or the second portion 208 in the second direction. Figure 6 In one embodiment, the projection of the antenna module 11 in the second direction completely overlaps with the projection of the second portion 208 in the second direction. Figure 8In another embodiment, the projection of the antenna module 11 in the second direction overlaps with the projections of the first portion 207 and the second portion 208 in the second direction. That is, in the second direction, the first portion 207 and / or the second portion 208 may shield the antenna module 11.

[0061] Understandable, please refer to Fig. 9 , is a current path diagram of the antenna structure 100. As mentioned above, the antenna module 11 operates in 28 GHz mode and 39 GHz mode.

[0062] The first portion 207 constitutes the first radiating portion of the antenna structure 100, and the first radiating portion is a monopole antenna. When current is fed from the first feeding source 12, the current will be fed into the first portion 207 through a first matching circuit (not shown), and the current will flow to the slot 200b (see path P1) through the switching unit 14, thereby exciting a first working mode to generate a radiation signal of a first radiation frequency band.

[0063] When current is fed from the first feeding source 12, the current is fed into the first part 207 via the first matching circuit, and the current flows to the connecting portion 13 (see path P2) via the switching unit 14, thereby exciting a second working mode to generate a radiation signal in a second radiation frequency band.

[0069] When current is fed from the second feeding source 15, the current is fed into the second portion 208 through the second matching circuit. The second portion 208 flows through the ground portion 16 and flows to the slot 200b (see path P6), thereby exciting a sixth working mode to generate a radiation signal in a sixth radiation frequency band.

[0070] When current is fed from the second feed source 15, the current will be fed into the second part 208 through the second matching circuit, and flow through the second part 208 to the end of the second part 208 (for example, the right end in the figure, see path P7), thereby exciting a seventh working mode to generate a radiation signal in the seventh radiation frequency band.
