Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of antennas, and in particular to an antenna system and electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] With the gradual development and popularization of 5G technology, more and more antennas need to be integrated into terminal devices. When multiple antennas are working, if the isolation between the antennas is not good, they will couple with each other, which will limit the data throughput of the terminal device, affect the user experience, and even cause path blockage or device damage when high-power transmission signals couple into other transceiver channels. Therefore, the mutual coupling between multiple antennas has become a problem that the industry urgently needs to solve.
[0003] In existing technologies, the mutual coupling between multiple antennas can be decoupled through orthogonal mode decoupling technology or mode decoupling technology, thereby improving the isolation between antennas.
[0004] However, orthogonal mode decoupling technology requires the antenna to have two or more orthogonal characteristic modes and different feeding designs to achieve decoupling. Mode cancellation decoupling technology requires sacrificing half of the antenna aperture to decouple the antennas, which will result in lower efficiency of individual antennas. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve miniaturization of antenna aperture while ensuring the efficiency of each antenna.
[0005] It is evident that in existing technologies, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high antenna isolation and miniaturized antenna aperture for antennas with a single characteristic pattern. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this application is to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high isolation and miniaturization of antenna aperture for antennas with a single characteristic mode. Therefore, this application provides an antenna system and electronic device that enables the first antenna and the second antenna to achieve high isolation at their respective radio frequency source ends (ground end and radio frequency end), thereby achieving high isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna (or can be understood as decoupling between the first antenna and the second antenna).
[0007] This application provides an antenna system.
[0008] The first antenna, the second antenna, and the ground plane; the first antenna includes a first radiator and a second radiator, and the second antenna includes a first radiator and a third radiator.
[0009] The two ends of the first radiator are electrically connected to the floor;
[0010] The first end of the second radiator is relatively far away from the first end of the third radiator, and is respectively connected to or coupled to the first radiator. The second end of the second radiator is arranged opposite to the second end of the third radiator, and forms a gap.
[0011] The second radiator includes a first feed connection point, through which the antenna system feeds the first antenna; the third radiator includes a second feed connection point, through which the antenna system feeds the second antenna.
[0012] The first radiator and the floor enclose a closed slot; the first radiator, the second radiator, the third radiator, and the gap enclose a non-closed slot. The first feed connection point of the second radiator is connected to the feed terminal of the first radio frequency source of the electronic device to receive the radio frequency signal output by the first radio frequency source, causing the first antenna to radiate outwards. The ground terminal of the first radio frequency source is connected to the floor. The second feed connection point of the third radiator is connected to the feed terminal of the second radio frequency source of the electronic device to receive the radio frequency signal output by the second radio frequency source, causing the second antenna to radiate outwards. The ground terminal of the second radio frequency source is connected to the floor.
[0013] In this embodiment, a novel antenna system is constructed by connecting a second radiator and a third radiator to the first radiator, and a first radio frequency (RF) source connected between the second radiator and the ground, and a second RF source connected between the third radiator and the ground. Based on this structure, the antenna enables the following: when the first RF source is excited, the current generated at the feed terminal of the first RF source on the first antenna and the current generated at the ground terminal of the first RF source on the ground are in the same direction; simultaneously, the current generated at the feed terminal of the second RF source on the second antenna and the current generated at the ground terminal of the second RF source on the ground are in a convection mode. Similarly, when the second RF source is excited, the current generated at the feed terminal of the first RF source on the first antenna and the current generated at the ground terminal of the first RF source on the ground are in a convection mode; simultaneously, the current generated at the feed terminal of the second RF source on the second antenna and the current generated at the ground terminal of the second RF source on the ground are in the same direction.
[0014] Since the co-current mode and the convection mode are orthogonal, that is, when the first RF source is excited, the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the first antenna connected to the first RF source is orthogonal to the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the second antenna connected to the second RF source. Similarly, when the second RF source is excited, the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the first antenna connected to the first RF source is orthogonal to the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the second antenna connected to the second RF source is also orthogonal. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can use this structure to achieve the following: when the first antenna and the second antenna are excited at the same time, by making the first antenna and the second antenna have a high degree of isolation at their respective RF source ends (ground end and feed end), a high degree of isolation is achieved between the first antenna and the second antenna, that is, the decoupling of the first antenna and the second antenna is realized.
[0015] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the first antenna and the second antenna share the first radiator, two antennas can be constructed with the same aperture as the traditional closed slot antenna, thereby increasing the bandwidth efficiency of the antenna by at least one time. In other words, under the same bandwidth efficiency, the antenna system of this embodiment can reduce the antenna aperture by at least half compared to the traditional closed slot antenna. Therefore, this embodiment can achieve miniaturization of the antenna aperture compared to the traditional closed slot antenna.
[0016] In some possible embodiments, along the width direction of the closed slot, the non-closed slot is located on the side of the first radiator closer to the closed slot.
[0017] In some possible embodiments, along the width direction of the closed slot, the non-closed slot is located on the side of the first radiator away from the closed slot.
[0018] In some possible embodiments, along the thickness direction of the closed groove, the unclosed groove partially overlaps with the first radiator and is located on the side of the first radiator away from the floor.
[0019] In some embodiments, the antenna system further includes an adjustment device, one end of which is connected to the first radiator and the other end of which is connected to the ground; the adjustment device is a capacitor and / or an inductor.
[0020] In this embodiment, the direction of the current in the closed slot can be adjusted by a capacitor or inductor located between the first radiator and the ground. Specifically, by selecting a capacitor or inductor that matches the antenna aperture, the direction of the current flow in the closed slot can be adjusted. This ensures that, when the first RF source is excited or the second RF source is excited, the current mode at the two ends of the first antenna connected to the first RF source (i.e., the feed end and the ground end) and the current mode at the two ends of the second antenna connected to the second RF source (i.e., the feed end and the ground end) are orthogonal. This means that there is a high degree of isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna. At the same time, it allows for a wide range of choices for the antenna aperture (or the length of the closed slot), providing a basis for the application of the antenna system in different application scenarios.
[0021] In some embodiments, the first radiator, the second radiator, the third radiator, and the gap form a non-closed slot, and along the length direction of the non-closed slot, the connection point formed by the adjustment device and the first radiator is located between the first feed connection point and the second feed connection point.
[0022] In some possible embodiments, the grounding point formed by the adjustment device and the ground plane is located between the first feed grounding point formed by the grounding terminal of the first RF source and the ground plane, and the second feed grounding point formed by the grounding terminal of the second RF source and the ground plane.
[0023] In some possible embodiments, the grounding point formed by the connection between the regulating device and the floor is located on the floor area opposite to the gap, and the connection point formed by the connection between the regulating device and the first radiator is located on the radiator segment opposite to the gap on the first radiator.
[0024] In some embodiments, a capacitor is provided at the gap, with its two ends connected to the second end of the second radiator and the second end of the third radiator, respectively.
[0025] In some embodiments, both the second and third radiators are L-shaped.

In the second radiator, the end of the L-shaped radiator segment away from the at least one suspended radiator segment constitutes the first end of the second radiator, and the end of the at least one suspended radiator segment away from the L-shaped radiator segment constitutes the second end of the second radiator. The first feed connection point is located in the L-shaped radiator segment or any of the at least one suspended radiator segment in the second radiator.
[0031] In the third radiator, the end of the L-shaped radiator segment away from at least one suspended radiator segment constitutes the first end of the third radiator, and the end of at least one suspended radiator segment away from the L-shaped radiator segment constitutes the second end of the third radiator. The second feed connection point is located in the L-shaped radiator or any of the at least one suspended radiator segment in the third radiator.
[0032] In some embodiments, a capacitor is provided at at least one of the first and second gaps.
[0033] In some possible embodiments, a capacitor is provided at each first slit and each second slit.
[0034] In some possible embodiments, the L-shaped radiator segment is capacitively connected to at least one end of the suspended radiator segment near the L-shaped radiator segment;
[0035] When at least one suspended radiator segment is multiple suspended radiator segments, each suspended radiator segment is connected to the adjacent suspended radiator segment via a capacitor.
[0036] The embodiments of this application utilize an L-shaped radiator segment and at least one suspended radiator segment, and the radiator segments are connected by capacitors to form a second radiator and / or a third radiator. Such a structure can further help to miniaturize the antenna aperture and help to reduce the SAR (Specific Absorption Ratio) of the antenna system.
[0037] In some embodiments, the length of the closed slot is greater than or equal to half the wavelength of the first antenna or the second antenna and less than one wavelength of the first antenna or the second antenna.
[0038] In some possible embodiments, the first feed ground point formed by connecting the ground terminal of the first RF source to the ground plane and the first feed connection point formed by connecting the feed terminal of the first RF source to the second radiator are both located on one side of the gap, and the second feed ground point formed by connecting the ground terminal of the second RF source to the ground plane and the second feed connection point formed by connecting the feed terminal of the second RF source to the third radiator are located on the other side of the gap; and the first feed ground point formed by connecting the ground terminal of the first RF source to the ground plane and the second feed ground point formed by connecting the ground terminal of the second RF source to the ground plane are both located within the closed slot.

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0097] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the antenna system according to an embodiment of this application.
[0098] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides an antenna system including a first antenna and a second antenna. The first antenna includes a first radiator 11 and a second radiator 12, and the second antenna includes a first radiator 11 and a third radiator 13. That is, the first radiator 11 is a shared radiator for the first antenna and the second antenna.
[0099] The two ends of the first radiator 11 are respectively connected to the floor, forming grounding points B3 and B4 on the floor. The two ends of the first radiator 11 can be directly connected to the floor, or indirectly connected to the floor through connectors such as conductors or wires. The first radiator 11 and the floor enclose a closed groove 14 (i.e., as shown in the image). Figure 2a The closed groove 14 shown is understood as a through groove that is closed on all four sides.
[0100] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and combined Figure 2a and Figure 2b understand, Figure 2a This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the antenna system in the electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2b This is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of the antenna system in an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. The first ends of the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 are relatively far apart and are respectively connected to the first radiator 11. The second ends of the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 are arranged end-to-end with a gap 10. The first radiator 11, the second radiator 12, the third radiator 13 and the gap 10 enclose a non-closed slot 15 (i.e., as shown in the diagram). Figure 2aThe non-closed groove 15 shown. This non-closed groove can be understood as a through groove with an opening, wherein the opening is formed by the gap 10.
[0101] In other embodiments, the first end of the second radiator 12 and the first end of the third radiator 13 may also be coupled to the first radiator, that is: the first end of the second radiator 12 is not directly connected to the first radiator 11, and a gap is formed between them, through which the radiated energy is coupled; the first end of the third radiator 13 is also not directly connected to the first radiator 11, and a gap is formed between them, through which the radiated energy is coupled.
[0102] The gap can be formed along the width direction parallel to the closed groove, or it can be formed along the thickness direction parallel to the closed groove.
[0103] It should be noted that: one end or the first end, the second end is not limited to the end face of the radiator, but can also be a section of the radiator including the end face, such as a radiator section within 1 to 2 mm from the end face.
[0104] Furthermore, the second radiator 12 can also be coupled through a coupling branch located in the gap between the second radiator 12 and the first radiator 11. This coupling branch can be connected to the first radiator 11 or not. Similarly, the third radiator 13 can also be coupled through a coupling branch located in the gap between the third radiator 13 and the first radiator 11. This coupling branch can be connected to the first radiator 11 or not. The size of the aforementioned gap and coupling branch is not limited, as long as it meets the requirements for energy coupling, it does not depart from the scope of this application.
[0105] The second radiator 12 includes a first feed connection point A1, through which the antenna system 1 feeds the first antenna. The third radiator 13 includes a second feed connection point A2, through which the antenna system 1 feeds the second antenna.
[0106] Specifically, the first feed connection point A1 of the second radiator 12 is connected to the feed terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1 of the electronic device to receive the radio frequency signal output by the first radio frequency source RF1, causing the first antenna to radiate outwards. The ground terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1 is connected to the ground. The second feed connection point A2 of the third radiator 13 is connected to the feed terminal of the second radio frequency source RF2 of the electronic device to receive the radio frequency signal output by the second radio frequency source RF2, causing the second antenna to radiate outwards. The ground terminal of the second radio frequency source RF2 is connected to the ground. The second radiator 12 can be directly connected to the feed terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1 of the electronic device, or it can be connected via a radio frequency source connector 21 (such as...). Figure 2a As shown in the diagram, for example, spring-loaded feet, wires, etc., are connected to the feed terminal of the first RF source RF1. Similarly, the third radiator 13 can be directly connected to the feed terminal of the second RF source RF2 of the electronic device, or it can be connected through the RF source connector 22 (such as...). Figure 2a As shown in the diagram, for example, springs, wires, etc. are connected to the feed terminal of the second radio frequency source RF2.
[0107] In this embodiment, the second radiator 12 can be connected to the first radio frequency source RF1 via a coaxial cable, specifically through the inner core of the coaxial cable connected to the feed terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1. The third radiator 13 can also be connected to the second radio frequency source RF2 via a coaxial cable, specifically through the inner core of the coaxial cable connected to the feed terminal of the second radio frequency source RF2. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the feed terminal can also be other alternative solutions, and this does not limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0108] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first radio frequency source RF1 and the second radio frequency source RF2 are different radio frequency sources.
[0109] Furthermore, a capacitor C is provided between the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13. The capacitor C is used to adjust the position of the reverse point (which can be understood as mentioned later) generated when the current flows through each radiator and the ground plane. This allows the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the first antenna connected to the first RF source on the first antenna to be orthogonal to the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the second antenna connected to the second RF source on the second antenna, thereby achieving high isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that a capacitor may not be provided between the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13; it is sufficient to ensure the orthogonality of the current modes during design to achieve high isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna.
[0110] The antenna system of this embodiment can be applied to various electronic devices with signal transmission functions, such as watches, mobile phones, wearable smart devices, and smart home devices. The type of antenna system is not limited; for example, it can be a 5G mobile communication antenna (MIMO), such as a primary LTE transceiver antenna or a secondary LTE transceiver antenna, or a short-range communication antenna, such as a V2X-1 transceiver antenna, a WiFi / BLE antenna, or a radio antenna. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first antenna and the second antenna can operate in the same frequency band, such as any frequency band within 6 GHz, or they can operate in different frequency bands; for example, the center frequencies of the first antenna and the second antenna in their operating frequency bands can differ by 1 GHz. Specifically, the first antenna and the second antenna can operate in sub-bands with a frequency range of 724-788 MHz, a frequency range of 791-860 MHz, a frequency range of 824-894 MHz, and a frequency range of 880-960 MHz, etc.
[0111] Furthermore, such as Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, taking a mobile phone as an example, the first radiator 11 in this embodiment can be formed from the metal frame of the mobile phone, such as the outer metal frame of the mobile phone, or it can be formed from an embedded metal structural component within the metal frame of the mobile phone. The second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 can be formed from the metal structural components of the mobile phone, such as metal sheets, or they can be formed on the phone's bracket using a laser direct forming process, or they can be structural components attached to the vicinity of the antenna using an FPC process, such as on the phone's bracket or battery cover. The second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 can be directly connected to the first radiator 11, or they can be indirectly connected to the first radiator 11 through connectors 121 and 131, respectively. Connector 121 constitutes a part of the second radiator 12, and connector 131 constitutes a part of the third radiator 13. Connectors 121 and 131 can be, for example, spring-loaded feet, welded components, conductive foam, metal structural components, etc. The ground plane can be at least part or at least part of any grounding structure in the electronic device. For example, the ground plane can be formed by the PCB board 20 in the mobile phone. Other examples include conductive sheets, the bottom frame of the electronic device, the copper layer of the display screen, etc.
[0112] Furthermore, the processing technology of each component in this embodiment is not limited. For example, the first radiator 11 can be soldered onto the PCB board 20, or it can be formed directly on the PCB board 20 after a closed groove 14 is formed by processing a closed groove on all four sides on the PCB board. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that other alternative solutions are also possible, which do not limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0113] For specific details of the work process, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The solid arrow in the middle represents the current formed in each radiator and on the floor when the first radio frequency source RF1 is excited. Figure 1 The dashed arrows represent the currents formed in the radiators and the ground plane when the second RF source RF2 is used for excitation. The circles in the figure show the reversal points of the current as it flows through the radiators and the ground plane. When the first RF source RF1 is used for excitation, the current generated at the first feed connection point A1 of the first antenna (i.e., the feed terminal connected to the first RF source) is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the solid arrow closest to the first feed connection point A1, the current generated at the first feed ground point B1 of the first antenna (i.e., the grounding terminal connected to the first RF source on the ground) is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the solid arrow closest to the first feed ground point B1, it can be seen that the current flows from the first feed connection point A1 through the ground plane to the first feed ground point B1, meaning the current pattern at the first feed connection point A1 and the first feed ground point B1 of the first antenna is in the same direction. Simultaneously, the current generated at the second feed connection point A2 of the second antenna (i.e., the feed terminal connected to the second RF source) is as follows... Figure 1 As shown by the solid arrow closest to the second feed connection point A2, the current generated at the second feed ground point B2 of the second antenna (i.e., the grounding terminal connected to the second RF source on the ground) is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the solid arrow closest to the second feed grounding point B2, it can be seen that the current at the second feed connection point A2 flows in the opposite direction to the current at the second feed grounding point B2. That is, the current mode of the second feed connection point A2 and the second feed grounding point B2 of the second antenna is convection mode.
[0114] When the second radio frequency source RF2 is excited, the current generated at the first feed connection point A1 of the first antenna (i.e., the feed terminal connected to the first radio frequency source) is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the dashed arrow closest to the first feed connection point A1, the current generated at the first feed ground point B1 of the first antenna (i.e., the grounding terminal connected to the first RF source on the floor) is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the dashed arrow closest to the first feed ground point B1, it can be seen that the current at the first feed connection point A1 is in the opposite direction to the current at the first feed ground point B1, meaning the current pattern at the first feed connection point A1 and the first feed ground point B1 of the first antenna is a convection mode. Simultaneously, the current generated at the second feed connection point A2 of the second antenna (i.e., at the feed terminal connected to the second RF source) is as follows... Figure 1 As shown by the dashed arrow closest to the second feed connection point A2, the current generated at the second feed ground point B2 of the second antenna (i.e., the grounding terminal connected to the second RF source on the floor) is as follows: Figure 1 As shown by the dashed arrow closest to the second feed grounding point B2, it can be seen that the current flows from the second feed grounding point B2 into the second feed connection point A2, that is, the current mode of the second feed connection point A2 and the second feed grounding point B2 of the second antenna is in the same direction.
[0115] Therefore, whether the first RF source RF1 or the second RF source RF2 is used for excitation, the current mode of the first antenna at both ends of the first RF source RF1 (first feed connection point A1 and first feed ground point B1) and the current mode of the second antenna at both ends of the second RF source RF2 (second feed connection point A2 and second feed ground point B2) can always form mode orthogonality, thereby producing a high degree of isolation.
[0116] In this embodiment, a novel antenna system is constructed by connecting a second radiator and a third radiator to the first radiator, and a first radio frequency source connected between the second radiator and the ground, and a second radio frequency source connected between the third radiator and the ground. Based on this structure, the antenna system enables:
[0117] When the first RF source is excited, the current generated at the feed terminal of the first RF source connected to the first RF source on the first RF line (i.e., the first feed connection point A1) and the current generated at the ground terminal of the first RF source connected to the ground on the ground (i.e., the first feed ground point B1) are in the same direction. At the same time, the current generated at the feed terminal of the second RF source connected to the second RF source on the second RF line (i.e., the second feed connection point A2) and the current generated at the ground terminal of the second RF source connected to the ground on the ground (i.e., the second feed ground point B2) are in the convection mode.
[0118] Similarly, when the second RF source is used for excitation, the current generated at the feed terminal of the first RF source connected to the first RF source on the first day line (i.e., the first feed connection point A1) and the current generated at the ground terminal of the first RF source connected to the ground on the ground (i.e., the first feed ground point B1) are in a convection mode; at the same time, the current generated at the feed terminal of the second RF source connected to the second RF source on the second day line (i.e., the second feed connection point A2) and the current generated at the ground terminal of the second RF source connected to the ground on the ground (i.e., the second feed ground point B2) are in a co-current mode.
[0119] Furthermore, since the co-current mode and the convection mode are orthogonal, that is, when the first RF source is excited, the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the first antenna connected to the first RF source is orthogonal to the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the second antenna connected to the second RF source. Similarly, when the second RF source is excited, the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the first antenna connected to the first RF source is orthogonal to the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the second antenna connected to the second RF source. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can use this structure to achieve the following: when the first antenna and the second antenna are excited at the same time, by making the first antenna and the second antenna have a high degree of isolation at their respective RF source ends, the first antenna and the second antenna can form a high isolation between them, thereby achieving decoupling between the first antenna and the second antenna.
[0120] The aforementioned reversal point can be understood as the current flowing through both sides of the reversal point in opposite directions. Figure 1 As can be seen, the first radiator 11 has a reverse point, and the ground has a reverse point. The reverse point on the first radiator 11 and the reverse point on the ground are misaligned along the length of the closed slot 14. This allows the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the first antenna connected to the first radio frequency source to form a mode orthogonal relationship with the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the second antenna connected to the second radio frequency source to form a mode orthogonal relationship, thereby achieving high isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna.
[0121] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the first antenna and the second antenna share the first radiator, two antennas can be constructed with the same aperture as a traditional closed-slot single antenna, thereby increasing the antenna bandwidth efficiency by at least one time. In other words, under the same bandwidth efficiency, the antenna system of this embodiment can reduce the antenna aperture by at least half compared to a traditional closed-slot single antenna. Therefore, this embodiment can achieve miniaturization of the antenna aperture compared to a traditional closed-slot single antenna.
[0122] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application employ asymmetric power supply, eliminating the need to design complex power supply networks, such as antisymmetric power supply, which has the advantages of simple power supply structure and low sensitivity to complex environments.
[0123] This application also provides an electronic device, including the antenna system 1 described in any of the above embodiments.
[0124] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first feed connection point A1 and the first feed ground point B1 of the first RF source RF1 are both located on one side of the gap 10, and the second feed connection point A2 and the second feed ground point B2 of the second RF source RF2 are both located on the other side of the gap 10. Moreover, the first feed ground point B1 of the first RF source RF1 and the second feed ground point B2 of the second RF source RF2 are both located within the closed slot 14, specifically, between ground point B3 and ground point B4. In some embodiments, the first feed connection point A1 of the first RF source RF1 and the second feed connection point A2 of the second RF source RF2 can be symmetrical about the gap 10; in other embodiments, they can be asymmetrical.
[0125] For further details, please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first feed connection point A1 and the first feed ground point B1 of the first RF source RF1, and the second feed connection point A2 and the second feed ground point B2 of the second RF source RF2 are aligned in the width direction w of the closed slot. Those skilled in the art will understand that alignment includes a completely aligned scheme and a roughly aligned scheme. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, an unaligned scheme can also be used.
[0126] Furthermore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and combined Figure 2a and Figure 2b It is understood that both the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 are L-shaped, extending along the width w of the closed slot. The non-closed slot 15 is located on the side of the first radiator 11 closest to the closed slot 14. Alternatively, it can be understood that the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 are arranged parallel to the PCB board 20, and the gap formed by the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 is located on the side of the first radiator 11 closest to the PCB board 20. Those skilled in the art will understand that the L-shape also includes similar L-shaped designs.
[0127] Furthermore, the length L1 of the closed groove is greater than the length L2 of the unclosed groove. For example, it can be 1 to 2.5 times the length of the unclosed groove, or 1.3 to 2 times the length of the unclosed groove.
[0128] Furthermore, the length L1 of the closed slot is greater than or equal to half the wavelength of the first antenna or the second antenna and less than one wavelength of the first antenna or the second antenna. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2b In this embodiment, the length L1 of the closed slot is 40mm. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the length L1 of the closed slot can also be other sizes to meet different IDs (i.e., the serial number of the electronic device) or different architectures.
[0129] As can be seen, the antenna system of this embodiment can realize two antennas using an antenna aperture of 1 / 2 wavelength (i.e., the length of the closed slot is equal to 1 / 2 wavelength of the first antenna or the second antenna). Compared with a single antenna with a closed slot, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a closed slot single antenna for a reference design. This single antenna uses an antenna aperture of 1 / 2 times the antenna wavelength to realize only one antenna. The antenna system of this embodiment can increase the bandwidth by at least 100% while ensuring that the antenna aperture is the same as the single antenna described above. And while ensuring that the antenna bandwidth is the same as the single antenna described above, the antenna aperture can be reduced by half.
[0130] Simulation software was used to simulate and analyze a closed-slot single antenna of a reference design and the antenna system provided in this embodiment, and the results were as follows: Figures 4a-4b The effect curve shown is shown.
[0131] Get Figures 4a-4b The simulation results of the curves shown are shown in Table 1 below (please refer to the table below). Figure 2b , Figure 3 (Understood)

[0133]
[0134]
[0135] Please see Figures 4a-4b , Figure 4a The graph shows a comparison of S-parameter performance obtained from simulation tests of a closed-slot single antenna of a reference design and an antenna system according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4b The graph shows the antenna efficiency comparison obtained when the closed slot single antenna of a reference design and the antenna system of the embodiment of this application were simulated.
[0136] exist Figure 4a In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents frequency in GHz, and the vertical axis represents S-parameters. The dashed line represents the S21 amplitude value in dB. S21 is one of the S-parameters, characterizing the antenna isolation. The smaller the S21 value, the greater the isolation between antennas and the less the antenna coupling. Isolation is expressed as the absolute value of S21. The solid line represents the S11 amplitude value in dB. S11 is also one of the S-parameters. S11 represents the reflection coefficient, which characterizes the antenna's transmission efficiency. Specifically, the smaller the S11 value, the lower the antenna return loss, the less energy the antenna reflects back, meaning more energy actually enters the antenna.
[0137] from Figure 4aAs can be seen, within the operating frequency range of 1.5-2.8GHz, the S11 value of a closed-slot single antenna is approximately -7dB to 0dB, while the S11 value of the antenna system in this embodiment is approximately -9dB to -0dB. Therefore, the S11 parameters of each antenna in the antenna system of this embodiment are superior to those of the closed-slot single antenna. Figure 4a It can also be seen that in the operating frequency range of 1.5-2.8GHz, the S21 parameter of the antenna system in this embodiment is less than -17dB, that is, the isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna in the antenna system can almost reach more than 17dB. Furthermore, in the frequency bands of 1.9GHz to 1.95GHz and 2GHz to 2.75GHz, the S21 parameter is less than -20dB, that is, the isolation can reach more than 20dB. Therefore, it can be seen that the antenna system in this embodiment has a high degree of isolation.
[0138] exist Figure 4b In the diagram, the horizontal axis represents frequency in GHz, and the vertical axis represents the antenna's radiation efficiency and system efficiency. The dashed line represents radiation efficiency, and the solid line represents system efficiency. Radiation efficiency is a measure of an antenna's radiation capability; metal loss and dielectric loss are both factors affecting radiation efficiency. System efficiency is the actual efficiency after considering antenna port matching; that is, the antenna's system efficiency is the antenna's actual efficiency (i.e., efficiency). Those skilled in the art will understand that efficiency is generally expressed as a percentage, and there is a corresponding conversion relationship between it and dB. The closer the efficiency is to 0 dB, the better the antenna's efficiency.
[0139] from Figure 4b As can be seen, within the operating frequency range of 1.83-1.98 GHz, the system efficiency of the first antenna in the antenna system is approximately -10 dB to -5.5 dB, and the radiation efficiency is approximately -6 dB to -4.9 dB. The system efficiency of the closed-slot single antenna is approximately -10 dB to -6.5 dB, and the radiation efficiency is approximately -5.3 dB to -4.2 dB. It should be noted that because the efficiency curve of the second antenna is similar to that of the first antenna, therefore... Figure 4b Only the antenna efficiency curve of the first antenna is shown. It is evident that the system efficiency and radiation efficiency of the first and second antennas in the antenna system of this embodiment are superior to those of a single closed-slot antenna.
[0140] Please see Figures 5-6b , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the antenna system according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 6a This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the antenna system in the electronic device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 6b for Figure 6a A partially enlarged schematic diagram of the antenna system.
[0141] Please see Figure 5 The structure of the antenna system in this embodiment is basically the same as... Figure 1 The antenna system shown has the same structure, the difference being that an adjustment device 16 is provided between the first radiator and the ground. The adjustment device 16 can be a capacitor or an inductor L; any device capable of adjusting the position of the reverse point generated when current flows through each radiator and the ground is within the scope of this application. In this embodiment, the adjustment device 16 is an inductor L. It should be understood that... Figure 5 and Figure 1 The solutions can be combined.
[0142] The adjustment device 16 is used to adjust the position of the reverse point generated when the current flows through each radiator and the ground, so that the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the first antenna connected to the first radio frequency source on the first antenna and the current mode generated at the two ends (ground end and feed end) of the second antenna connected to the second radio frequency source on the second antenna form a mode orthogonal, thereby forming a high isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna.
[0143] Furthermore, the connection point A3 formed by the connection between the regulating device 16 and the first radiator 11 is located between the first feed connection point A1 and the second feed connection point A2.
[0144] Furthermore, the grounding point B5 formed by the adjustment device 16 and the ground is located between the first feed grounding point B1 of the first RF source RF1 and the second feed grounding point B2 of the second RF source RF2.
[0145] Furthermore, the grounding point B5 formed by the connection between the regulating device 16 and the floor is located on the floor area opposite to the gap 10, and the connection point A3 formed by the connection between the regulating device 16 and the first radiator 11 is located on the radiator segment of the first radiator 11 opposite to the gap 10.
[0146] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the capacitor C may not be provided between the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13, and only the adjustment device 16 between the first radiator 11 and the floor is used, such as an inductor to adjust the position of the reverse point. In other embodiments, the adjustment device 16 may not be provided, and the position of the reverse point may be adjusted only by the capacitor C between the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13, or neither the capacitor C nor the adjustment device 16 may be provided.
[0147] In addition, in this embodiment, the length L1 of the closed groove is 72mm (e.g., Figure 6a As shown in the figure, it is approximately 7 / 8 of the wavelength of the first or second antenna.
[0148] Simulation software was used to perform simulation analysis on the antenna system provided in this embodiment under different closed slot lengths, and the results were as follows: Figures 7-8 The effect curve shown is shown.
[0149] Get Figures 7-8 The simulation effect parameters of the curves shown are shown in Table 2 below (please refer to the table below). Figure 6a and Figure 6b (Understood)
[0150] Table 2
[0151]
[0152]
[0153] It should be noted that "disconnected" in the table above can be understood as the corresponding device (such as capacitor C, inductor L) not being used or not being set.
[0154] Please see Figures 7-8 , Figure 7 The above is a graph showing the S-parameter effect obtained during simulation testing of the antenna system according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 This is a comparison curve of antenna efficiency obtained when simulating the antenna system of this application embodiment under different closed slot lengths.
[0155] from Figure 7 As can be seen, within the operating frequency range of 1.8GHz to 2.3GHz, the S11 value of the antenna system in this embodiment is approximately -12dB to -0.01dB, and the S21 parameter of the antenna system in this embodiment is approximately -37dB to -25dB. Since it is less than -25dB, the isolation can reach more than 25dB. Therefore, the antenna system in this embodiment has a high degree of isolation.
[0156] from Figure 8 As can be seen, within the operating frequency range of 1.85GHz to 2.3GHz, the antenna system of this embodiment exhibits a system efficiency of approximately -10dB to -4.15dB and a radiation efficiency of approximately -4.5dB to -3.8dB when the closed slot length is 40mm. When the closed slot length is 72mm, the system efficiency of the first antenna is approximately -10dB to -3.27dB, and the radiation efficiency is approximately -3.9dB to -2.5dB. It should be noted that, since the efficiency curve of the second antenna is similar to that of the first antenna, therefore... Figure 8 Only the antenna efficiency curve of the first antenna is shown. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the antenna system with a closed slot length of 72mm has better system efficiency and radiation efficiency than the antenna system with a closed slot length of 40mm.
[0157] Simulation software was used to simulate and analyze electronic devices employing a closed slot antenna of a reference design, and electronic devices using antenna systems of this embodiment with different closed slot lengths, and the results were obtained as follows: Figures 9a-9c The table shows SAR value data.
[0158] Get Figures 9a-9c The simulation effect parameters of the SAR value data table shown are shown in Table 3 below (please refer to the table below for details). Figure 3 , Figure 6a and Figure 6b (Understood)
[0159] Table 3
[0160]
[0161]
[0162] exist Figures 9a-9c In English, SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) refers to the electromagnetic power absorbed by a unit mass of human tissue, measured in W / kg. Internationally, SAR values are commonly used to measure the thermal effects radiated by electronic devices. The normalized SAR value represents the SAR measured when the antenna efficiency is normalized to -5 dB (i.e., the normalized efficiency shown in the table). "Back-5mm" indicates a scenario where the back of the electronic device is 5mm away from the body, and "Bottom-5mm" indicates a scenario where the bottom of the electronic device is 5mm away from the body.
[0163] from Figure 9a As can be seen, the SAR value of the closed slot single antenna measured in the scenario with an output power of 24dBm, a resonant frequency of 2GHz and a distance of -5mm between the back of the electronic device and the body is 1.4W / kg, and the SAR value of the closed slot single antenna measured in the scenario with a distance of -5mm between the bottom of the electronic device and the body is 0.51W / kg.
[0164] from Figure 9b As can be seen, in this embodiment, the SAR value measured is 1.37W / kg in a scenario where the closed slot length is 40mm, the output power is 24dBm, the resonant frequency is 2GHz, and the back of the electronic device is -5mm away from the body. In a scenario where the bottom of the electronic device is -5mm away from the body, the SAR value measured is 1.1W / kg.
[0165] from Figure 9c As can be seen, in this embodiment, the SAR value measured is 0.95W / kg in a scenario where the closed slot length is 72mm, the output power is 24dBm, the resonant frequency is 2GHz, and the back of the electronic device is 5mm away from the body. The SAR value measured is 0.57W / kg in a scenario where the bottom of the electronic device is 5mm away from the body.
[0166] Therefore, this embodiment can effectively reduce the SAR value of the antenna compared to a single antenna with a closed slot.
[0167] comprehensive Figures 7 to 9c Simulation data shows that, compared to a single antenna with a closed slot, this embodiment not only achieves high isolation between the first and second antennas and miniaturizes the antenna aperture, but also effectively reduces the antenna's SAR value. In particular, when the length of the closed slot is 72mm, the SAR value can be reduced from 1.4W / kg to 0.95W / kg, a reduction of approximately 32%.
[0168] Please see Figure 10a The structure of the antenna system in this embodiment is basically the same as... Figure 5 The antenna systems shown have the same structure, differing only in that: one or more first slots are provided on the second radiator 12, and / or one or more second slots are provided on the third radiator 13. Alternatively, it can be understood that at least one of the second radiator 12 and the third radiator 13 includes an L-shaped radiator segment and a suspended radiator segment. The feed terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1 can be connected to the L-shaped radiator segment or the suspended radiator segment of the second radiator 12, and the feed terminal of the second radio frequency source RF2 can be connected to the L-shaped radiator segment or the suspended radiator segment of the third radiator 13. It should be understood that... Figure 10a The proposed solution can be combined with the solutions of the above embodiments.
[0169] Please see Figure 10a and Figure 10b , Figure 10a and Figure 10b The first schematic diagram and three-dimensional schematic diagram of the antenna system according to the present application are shown, wherein the number of suspended radiating body segments is 1.
[0170] The third radiator 13 is L-shaped, and the second radiator 12 includes an L-shaped radiator segment 122 and a suspended radiator segment 17. The suspended radiator segment 17 and the L-shaped radiator segment 122 are arranged end-to-end with a gap between them. The end of the L-shaped radiator segment 122 away from the suspended radiator segment 17 constitutes the first end of the second radiator 12, and the end of the suspended radiator segment 17 away from the L-shaped radiator segment 122 constitutes the second end of the second radiator 12.
[0171] The second radiator 12 receives radio frequency signals through the L-shaped radiator segment 122; that is, the feed terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1 is connected to the L-shaped radiator segment 122.
[0172] Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that in other alternative embodiments, the second radiator 12 may be L-shaped, and the third radiator 13 may include an L-shaped radiator segment and a suspended radiator segment 17. The end of the L-shaped radiator segment away from the suspended radiator segment 17 constitutes the first end of the third radiator 13, and the end of the suspended radiator segment 17 away from the L-shaped radiator segment constitutes the second end of the third radiator 13. Accordingly, the third radiator 13 receives radio frequency signals through the L-shaped radiator segment. That is, the feed terminal of the second radio frequency source RF2 is connected to the L-shaped radiator segment.
[0173] Furthermore, the suspended radiator segment 17 can be connected to the L-shaped radiator segment 122 via a capacitor, such as capacitor C1. The form of the capacitor is not limited; it can be a distributed coupling capacitor or a lumped capacitor, etc.
[0174] Please see Figure 10c , Figure 10c This is a schematic diagram of a second principle structure of the antenna system according to an embodiment of this application. The second structure is basically the same as the first structure, except that a capacitor is provided at at least one of the first and second slots. In this embodiment, a capacitor is provided at each first slot and each second slot. Specifically, there are two suspended radiator segments, which are connected by a capacitor C. The second radiator 12 includes an L-shaped radiator segment 122 and a suspended radiator segment 17 (i.e., Figure 10c The second radiator 12 has a suspended radiator segment 17 located on the left side. The suspended radiator segment 17 is connected to the L-shaped radiator segment 122 of the second radiator 12 via capacitor C1. The third radiator 13 includes an L-shaped radiator segment 132 and a suspended radiator segment 17 (i.e., the suspended radiator segment 17 is located on the left side of the second radiator 12). Figure 10c The suspended radiator segment 17 of the third radiator 13 is located on the right side. The suspended radiator segment 17 of the third radiator 13 is connected to the L-shaped radiator segment 132 of the third radiator 13 via capacitor C2. The feed terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1 is connected to the L-shaped radiator segment 122, and the feed terminal of the second radio frequency source RF2 is connected to the suspended radiator segment 17 of the third radiator 13. The suspended radiator segment 17 of the second radiator 12 can radiate outward as both the first and second radiators (in which case, the suspended radiator segment 17 of the second radiator 12 acts as another radiator in the second radiator that is not part of the third radiator).

[0176] Figure 11b , Figure 11cAll of these are third-dimensional structural diagrams of the antenna system according to embodiments of this application; the third structure is basically the same as the second structure, except that: the feed end of the first radio frequency source RF1 is connected to the floating radiator segment 17 of the second radiator 12, and the feed end of the second radio frequency source RF2 is connected to the floating radiator segment 17 of the third radiator 13.
[0177] Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that there can be multiple suspended radiators in either the second radiator 12 or the third radiator 13. Taking the second radiator 12 as an example, when the second radiator 12 includes multiple suspended radiator segments, the L-shaped radiator segment 122 and the multiple suspended radiator segments 17 are sequentially arranged end-to-end at intervals. In this case, the end of the last suspended radiator segment away from the L-shaped radiator segment constitutes the second end of the second radiator 12. The feed terminal of the first radio frequency source RF1 can be connected to the L-shaped radiator segment 122 or any of the multiple suspended radiator segments 17. Furthermore, each suspended radiator segment 17 is connected to its adjacent suspended radiator segment via a capacitor. The first suspended radiator segment 17 is connected to the L-shaped radiator segment via a capacitor, and the last suspended radiator segment is connected to the second end of the third radiator 13 via a capacitor C.
[0178] The connection relationships in the third radiator are similar to those in the second radiator, and will not be repeated here.
[0179] Simulation software was used to perform simulation analysis on the antenna system of this embodiment with one and two suspended radiating segments, and the results were as follows: Figures 12-13 The effect curve shown is shown.

[0184] Please see Figures 12-13 , Figure 12 The above are comparison curves of S-parameter performance obtained from simulation tests of the antenna system in this application when there is one suspended radiator segment and two suspended radiator segments. Figure 13 The antenna efficiency comparison curves obtained from simulation tests of the antenna system in this application embodiment with one suspended radiator segment and two suspended radiator segments are shown.
[0185] from Figure 12 As can be seen, within the operating frequency range of 1.8GHz to 2.1GHz, the S11 value of the antenna system of this embodiment is approximately -14dB to -1dB when there is one suspended radiator segment; the S11 value is approximately -13.5dB to -0.5dB when there are two suspended radiator segments; and the S21 value is approximately -54dB to -26dB when there is one suspended radiator segment, which is less than -25dB, meaning the isolation can reach above 25dB. The S21 value is approximately -24dB to -19dB when there are two suspended radiator segments, which is less than -20dB, meaning the isolation can reach above 20dB. Therefore, the antenna system of this embodiment has high isolation.
[0186] from Figure 13 As can be seen, within the operating frequency band of 1.9GHz to 2.1GHz, the antenna system of this embodiment, with one suspended radiator segment, has a system efficiency of approximately -4dB to -2.7dB and a radiation efficiency of approximately -2.5dB to -2.4dB for the first antenna. With two suspended radiator segments, the system efficiency of the first antenna is approximately -7dB to -2.7dB, and the radiation efficiency is approximately -3dB to -2.5dB. It should be noted that, since the efficiency curve of the second antenna is similar to that of the first antenna, therefore... Figure 13 Only the antenna efficiency curve of the first antenna is shown in the figure.
[0187] Simulation software was used to simulate and analyze the electronic equipment of the antenna system in this embodiment when there is one suspended radiating segment and when there are two suspended radiating segments, and the results were as follows. Figures 14a-14b The table shows SAR value data.

[0189] Table 5
[0190]
[0191] from Figure 14a As can be seen, when there is one suspended radiator segment, the SAR value of the antenna is 0.86 W / kg when the output power is 24 dBm, the resonant frequency is 1.95 GHz and the back of the electronic device is 5 mm away from the body. The SAR value of the antenna is 0.53 W / kg when the bottom of the electronic device is 5 mm away from the body.
[0192] from Figure 14bAs can be seen, when there are two suspended radiator segments, the SAR value of the antenna is 0.89 W / kg when the output power is 24 dBm, the resonant frequency is 2 GHz, and the back of the electronic device is 5 mm away from the body. The SAR value of the antenna is 0.55 W / kg when the bottom of the electronic device is 5 mm away from the body.
[0193] Therefore, it can be seen that the SAR value of the antenna system with one suspended radiator segment is lower than that of the antenna system with two suspended radiator segments.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the embedded metal structural components cover the interior of the mobile phone and do not affect the appearance of the mobile phone.

Therefore, the antenna system in this embodiment has high isolation.

The system efficiency of the slotted dual antenna (case 2) is -7.8dB to -4.8dB, and the radiation efficiency is -3.5dB to -3.4dB. The antenna system of this embodiment has a system efficiency of -3.4dB to -3dB and a radiation efficiency of -3.8dB to -2.5dB. It should be noted that since the efficiency curve of the second antenna in this embodiment is similar to that of the first antenna, therefore... Figure 18 Only the antenna efficiency curve of the first antenna is shown in the figure.
[0206] Simulation software was used to simulate and analyze the electronic device of an open slot single antenna (i.e., case 1) of a reference design, and the electronic device of an antenna system using the embodiments of this application, and the results were obtained as follows. Figures 19a-19b The table shows SAR value data.

[0209]
[0210] from Figure 19a As can be seen, the SAR value of the slotted single antenna measured in the scenario with an output power of 24dBm, a resonant frequency of 1.85GHz and the back of the electronic device being -5mm away from the body is 0.85W / kg, while the SAR value of the slotted single antenna measured in the scenario with the bottom of the electronic device being -5mm away from the body is 1.31W / kg.
[0211] from Figure 19b As can be seen, the SAR value measured in this embodiment is 0.82W / kg when the output power is 24dBm, the resonant frequency is 1.9GHz, and the back of the electronic device is 5mm away from the body. The SAR value measured in this embodiment is 0.93W / kg when the bottom of the electronic device is 5mm away from the body.

[0256] from Figure 29 As can be seen from this embodiment, Figure 1 The antenna system shown, regardless of whether both switching circuits SW1 and SW2 are in the first connection state or both are in the second connection state, each antenna in the system can generate two resonances (i.e., dual resonances). When both switching circuits SW1 and SW2 are in the first connection state, the resonant frequencies of the two resonances are 1.785 GHz and 2.215 GHz, respectively. The resonance with a resonant frequency of 1.785 GHz is the dominant resonance. Furthermore, from... Figure 29 It can also be seen that when the antenna system operates at the resonant frequency of the main resonance (1.785 GHz), the isolation between the antennas is better than when it operates at another resonant frequency (2.215 GHz). When both switching circuits SW1 and SW2 are in the second connection state, the resonant frequencies of the two resonators are 1.875 GHz and 2.05 GHz, respectively. Among them, the resonant frequency of 1.875 GHz is the main resonance, and from... Figure 29 It can be seen that when the antenna system operates at the resonant frequency of the main resonance (1.875 GHz), the isolation between the antennas is better than that when it operates at another resonant frequency (2.05 GHz).
[0257] from Figure 29 It can also be seen that when both switching circuits SW1 and SW2 are in the first connection state, the S11 value of the antenna system in this embodiment is less than -6dB in the range of 1.85GHz to 1.91GHz. When both switching circuits SW1 and SW2 are in the second connection state, the S11 value of the antenna system in this embodiment is less than -6dB in the ranges of 1.82GHz to 1.95GHz and 2GHz to 2.08GHz.
[0258] It should be noted that in engineering, an S11 value of -6dB is generally used as the standard. When the S11 value of an antenna is less than -6dB, the antenna can be considered to be working normally, or the antenna can be considered to have good transmission efficiency.

[0261] It can be seen that, in the range of 1.85GHz to 2GHz, the antenna efficiency of the antenna system provided in this embodiment is better than that of the antenna system shown in Figure 1 of this application. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the antenna efficiency when both switching circuits SW1 and SW2 are in the second connection state is better than that when they are in the first connection state.
