The antenna signal transmission group includes multiple signal transmission antenna structures respectively carried by the multiple first antenna carrier blocks. The antenna signal receiving group includes multiple signal receiving antenna structures respectively carried by the multiple second antenna carrier blocks. The dummy load antenna group includes multiple first dummy load antenna structures respectively carried by the multiple third antenna carrier blocks and multiple second dummy load antenna structures respectively carried by the multiple fourth antenna carrier blocks.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a movable device using a block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module. The block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module comprises: an antenna carrier substrate, an antenna signal transmission group, an antenna signal receiving group, and a dummy load antenna group. The antenna carrier substrate includes multiple block-shaped carriers separated from each other, and these block-shaped carriers are divided into multiple first antenna carrier blocks, multiple second antenna carrier blocks, multiple third antenna carrier blocks disposed on both sides of the multiple first antenna carrier blocks, and multiple fourth antenna carrier blocks disposed on both sides of the multiple second antenna carrier blocks.

[0021] Cooperate Figures 1 to 10As shown, the present invention provides a block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M and a movable device D using the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M. The block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M includes an antenna carrier substrate 1, an antenna signal transmission group 2, an antenna signal reception group 3, and a dummy load antenna group 4. Furthermore, the antenna carrier substrate 1 includes multiple block-shaped carriers separated from each other, and the multiple block-shaped carriers can be divided into (or partitioned into) multiple first antenna carrier blocks 11, multiple second antenna carrier blocks 12, multiple third antenna carrier blocks 13 disposed on both sides of the multiple first antenna carrier blocks 11, and multiple fourth antenna carrier blocks 14 disposed on both sides of the multiple second antenna carrier blocks 12. The antenna signal transmission group 2 includes multiple signal transmission antenna structures 20 respectively carried by the multiple first antenna carrier blocks 11. The antenna signal reception group 3 includes multiple signal reception antenna structures 30 respectively carried by the multiple second antenna carrier blocks 12. The dummy load antenna group 4 includes multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41, each carried by multiple third antenna carrying blocks 13, and multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42, each carried by multiple fourth antenna carrying blocks 14. Thus, the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M can transmit wireless signals through the cooperation of multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 and multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41, and can receive wireless signals through the cooperation of multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 and multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42.

[0022] [First Embodiment]

[0023] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M, which includes: an antenna carrier substrate 1, an antenna signal transmission group 2, an antenna signal receiving group 3, and a dummy load antenna group 4 (or virtual load antenna group).

[0024] First, such as Figure 1As shown, the antenna support substrate 1 includes a support base 10 and a plurality of block-shaped support bodies disposed on the support base 10 and separated from each other by a trench (not labeled). The plurality of block-shaped support bodies can be divided into a plurality of first antenna support blocks 11, a plurality of second antenna support blocks 12, a plurality of third antenna support blocks 13, and a plurality of fourth antenna support blocks 14. Furthermore, the plurality of first antenna support blocks 11 are adjacent to each other and separated by the trench, and the plurality of second antenna support blocks 12 are adjacent to each other and separated by the trench. Additionally, the plurality of third antenna support blocks 13 are adjacent to each other and separated by the trench, and the plurality of third antenna support blocks 13 are divided into two first portions and disposed adjacently on both sides of the plurality of first antenna support blocks 11. The plurality of fourth antenna support blocks 14 are adjacent to each other and separated by the trench, and the plurality of fourth antenna support blocks 14 are divided into two second portions and disposed adjacently on both sides of the plurality of second antenna support blocks 12. For example, the antenna carrier substrate 1 can be a trench-shaped dielectric substrate (or any substrate capable of carrying an antenna), and the trench-shaped dielectric substrate can be electrically connected to a signal transceiver integrated circuit. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] In addition, in coordination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, antenna signal transmission group 2 includes multiple signal transmission antenna structures 20 respectively disposed within multiple first antenna carrying blocks 11, and antenna signal receiving group 3 includes multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 respectively disposed within multiple second antenna carrying blocks 12. Furthermore, [the following is a more detailed description of the antenna signal transmission group 2 and its components]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 can be arranged into an antenna signal transmitting array region 201, and multiple first antenna carrying blocks 11 can all be set within the area defined by the antenna signal transmitting array region 201. Furthermore, in conjunction with... Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 can be arranged into an antenna signal receiving array region 301, and multiple second antenna carrying blocks 12 can all be set within the range defined by the antenna signal receiving array region 301. Therefore, since the antenna signal transmitting array region 201 and the antenna signal receiving array region 301 can be separated from each other by a specific horizontal distance, the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M provided by the present invention can be used to reduce the mutual interference between the antenna signal transmitting array region 201 (e.g., when multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 are transmitting signals) and the antenna signal receiving array region 301 (e.g., when multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 are receiving signals) (e.g., it can improve antenna isolation or achieve lower antenna isolation). For example, each signal transmitting antenna structure 20 can be a horn antenna, a dipole antenna, a patch antenna, or any kind of antenna structure, so multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 can be arranged into a horn array antenna, a dipole array antenna, a patch array antenna, or any kind of array antenna. Furthermore, each signal receiving antenna structure 30 can be a horn antenna, a dipole antenna, a planar antenna, or any other antenna structure. Therefore, multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 can be arranged into a horn array antenna, a dipole array antenna, a planar array antenna, or any other array antenna. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Furthermore, cooperation Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the dummy load antenna group 4 includes multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41 respectively disposed within multiple third antenna carrying blocks 13. Furthermore, in conjunction with... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41 can be arranged into a first left-side dummy load antenna array region 411L and a first right-side dummy load antenna array region 411R, and the two first parts divided by multiple third antenna carrying blocks 13 can be respectively set within the ranges defined by the first left-side dummy load antenna array region 411L and the first right-side dummy load antenna array region 411R. It is worth noting that, as Figure 3As shown, the antenna signal transmission array region 201 is located between the first left-side dummy load antenna array region 411L and the first right-side dummy load antenna array region 411R. This is to reduce the ripple of the antenna radiation pattern generated by the signal transmission antenna structure 20 (e.g., the ripple of the antenna radiation pattern generated by multiple signal transmission antenna structures 20 in each array can vary by less than ±1 dB) and improve the approximation of the antenna gain value generated by the signal transmission antenna structure 20 (e.g., the multiple antenna gain values ​​generated by multiple signal transmission antenna structures 20 in different arrays can be close to each other). It is worth noting that the multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41 can also effectively make the antenna radiation pattern generated by the signal transmission antenna structure 20 face forward. For example, each first dummy load antenna structure 41 can be a grounding line structure connected to 50 ohms. In addition, each first dummy load antenna structure 41 can be a horn antenna, a dipole antenna, a planar antenna, or any kind of antenna structure, so the multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41 can be arranged into a horn array antenna, a dipole array antenna, a planar array antenna, or any kind of array antenna. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] In addition, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the dummy load antenna group 4 includes multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42 respectively disposed within multiple fourth antenna carrying blocks 14. Furthermore, in conjunction with... Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42 can be arranged into a second left-side dummy load antenna array region 421L and a second right-side dummy load antenna array region 421R, and the two second parts divided by multiple fourth antenna carrying blocks 14 can be respectively set within the ranges defined by the second left-side dummy load antenna array region 421L and the second right-side dummy load antenna array region 421R. It is worth noting that, as Figure 3As shown, the antenna signal receiving array region 301 is located between the second left dummy load antenna array region 421L and the second right dummy load antenna array region 421R to reduce the ripple of the antenna radiation pattern generated by the signal receiving antenna structure 30 (e.g., the ripple of the antenna radiation pattern generated by multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 in each array can vary by less than ±1 dB) and improve the approximation of the antenna gain value generated by the signal receiving antenna structure 30 (e.g., the multiple antenna gain values ​​generated by multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 in different arrays can be close to each other). It is worth noting that the multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42 can also effectively make the antenna radiation pattern generated by the signal receiving antenna structure 30 face forward. For example, each second dummy load antenna structure 42 can be a grounding line structure connected to 50 ohms. Furthermore, each second dummy load antenna structure 42 can be a horn antenna, dipole antenna, planar antenna, or any kind of antenna structure, so the multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42 can be arranged into a horn array antenna, dipole array antenna, planar array antenna, or any kind of array antenna. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0028] For example, coordination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the antenna carrier substrate 1 further includes a plurality of elongated carriers 15 disposed on the carrier substrate 10 and separated from each other, and the plurality of elongated carriers 15 are adjacent to each other and separated from each other by trenches. Furthermore, a first portion of the plurality of elongated carriers 15 is disposed between the antenna signal transmitting array region 201 and the antenna signal receiving array region 301 to separate the antenna signal transmitting array region 201 and the antenna signal receiving array region 301 from each other by a first predetermined distance L1. A second portion of the plurality of elongated carriers 15 is disposed between the first left-side dummy load antenna array region 411L and the second left-side dummy load antenna array region 421L to separate the first left-side dummy load antenna array region 411L and the second left-side dummy load antenna array region 421L from each other by a second predetermined distance L2. A third portion of one of the plurality of elongated carriers 15 is disposed between the first right-side dummy load antenna array region 411R and the second right-side dummy load antenna array region 421R, for separating the first right-side dummy load antenna array region 411R and the second right-side dummy load antenna array region 421R from each other by a third predetermined distance L3. However, the above-described example is only one possible embodiment and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] For example, coordination Figures 3 to 9As shown, when the wavelength of the operating frequency of the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M used for transmitting or receiving wireless signals is λ, the distance between the antenna signal transmitting array area 201 and the antenna signal receiving array area 301 (that is, the first predetermined distance L1) can be between 2λ and 4λ (e.g., ...). Figure 3 As shown), the shortest distance d between the signal transmitting antenna structure 20 and the outer periphery of the corresponding first antenna carrying block 11 (that is, the shortest distance between the opening edge of the signal transmitting antenna structure 20 and the groove) is less than λ / 4 (as shown). Figure 4 As shown), the shortest distance d between the signal receiving antenna structure 30 and the outer periphery of the corresponding second antenna carrying block 12 (that is, the shortest distance between the opening edge of the signal receiving antenna structure 30 and the trench) is less than λ / 4 (as shown). Figure 5 As shown), the shortest distance d between the first dummy load antenna structure 41 and the corresponding outer periphery of the third antenna carrying block 13 (that is, the shortest distance d between the opening edge of the first dummy load antenna structure 41 and the groove) is less than λ / 4 (as shown). Figure 6 or Figure 7 As shown), and the shortest distance d between the second dummy load antenna structure 42 and the outer periphery of the corresponding fourth antenna carrying block 14 (that is, the shortest distance between the opening edge of the second dummy load antenna structure 42 and the groove) is less than λ / 4 (as shown). Figure 8 or Figure 9 (As shown). However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0030] For example, coordination Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 10As shown, multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 can be arranged into multiple antenna signal transmitting strip regions 202 that are parallel to each other (e.g., two antenna signal transmitting strip regions 202 arranged in a 1×3 array), and multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 can be arranged into multiple antenna signal receiving strip regions 302 that are parallel to each other (e.g., four antenna signal receiving strip regions 302 arranged in a 1×3 array), and the number of multiple antenna signal receiving strip regions 302 can be 1 to 3 times the number of multiple antenna signal transmitting strip regions 202. Furthermore, the plurality of first dummy load antenna structures 41 can be arranged into a plurality of first left-side dummy load antenna strip regions 412L (e.g., two first left-side dummy load antenna strip regions 412L arranged in a 1×3 array) and a plurality of first right-side dummy load antenna strip regions 412R (e.g., two first right-side dummy load antenna strip regions 412R arranged in a 1×3 array), and the plurality of second dummy load antenna structures 42 can be arranged into at least one second left-side dummy load antenna strip region 422L (e.g., one second left-side dummy load antenna strip region 422L arranged in a 1×3 array) and at least one second right-side dummy load antenna strip region 422R (e.g., one second right-side dummy load antenna strip region 422R arranged in a 1×3 array). Furthermore, the number of multiple first left-side dummy load antenna strip regions 412L can be 1 to 3 times the number of at least one second left-side dummy load antenna strip region 422L, and the number of multiple first right-side dummy load antenna strip regions 412R can be 1 to 3 times the number of at least one second right-side dummy load antenna strip region 422R. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] It is worth noting, for example, in conjunction with Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 in each antenna signal transmitting strip area 202 can be electrically connected to each other in parallel, and multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 in each antenna signal receiving strip area 302 can be electrically connected to each other in parallel (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown by the dashed lines). Furthermore, the plurality of first dummy load antenna structures 41 within each first left-side dummy load antenna strip region 412L can be electrically connected to each other in parallel, and the plurality of first dummy load antenna structures 41 within each first right-side dummy load antenna strip region 412R can be electrically connected to each other in parallel (e.g., as shown by the dashed lines). Figure 2(As shown by the dashed line). Furthermore, the plurality of second dummy load antenna structures 42 in each second left dummy load antenna strip region 422L can be electrically connected to each other in parallel, and the plurality of second dummy load antenna structures 42 in each second right dummy load antenna strip region 422R can be electrically connected to each other in parallel (as shown by the dashed line). Figure 2 (As shown by the dashed line). However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0032] Therefore, the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M can transmit wireless signals through the cooperation of multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 and multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41, and can receive wireless signals through the cooperation of multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 and multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42. For example, by using a signal transceiver integrated circuit, the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M can detect the distance between vehicles through the transmission and reception of wireless signals.

[0033] [Second Embodiment]

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a movable device D. The movable device D uses a block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M, and the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M includes an antenna carrier substrate 1, an antenna signal transmission group 2, an antenna signal reception group 3, and a dummy load antenna group 4. For example, the movable device D may be a vehicle or a 3C electronic product. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] [Beneficial Effects of the Examples]

[0036] One of the beneficial effects of the present invention is that the movable device D and its block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M provided by the present invention can be configured to: "Antenna support substrate 1 includes multiple block-shaped support bodies separated from each other, and the multiple block-shaped support bodies are divided into multiple first antenna support blocks 11, multiple second antenna support blocks 12, multiple third antenna support blocks 13 disposed on both sides of the multiple first antenna support blocks 11, and multiple fourth antenna support blocks 14 disposed on both sides of the multiple second antenna support blocks 12"; "Antenna signal transmission group 2 includes multiple signal transmission antenna structures 20 respectively carried by the multiple first antenna support blocks 11"; "Antenna signal receiving group 3 includes multiple signal transmission antenna structures 20 respectively carried by the multiple first antenna support blocks 11". The technical solution of "multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 carried by multiple second antenna carrying blocks 12" and "dummy load antenna group 4 including multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41 carried by multiple third antenna carrying blocks 13 and multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42 carried by multiple fourth antenna carrying blocks 14" enables the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M to transmit wireless signals through the cooperation of multiple signal transmitting antenna structures 20 and multiple first dummy load antenna structures 41, and the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M to receive wireless signals through the cooperation of multiple signal receiving antenna structures 30 and multiple second dummy load antenna structures 42.

[0037] For example, since the antenna signal transmitting array region 201 and the antenna signal receiving array region 301 can be separated from each other by a specific horizontal distance, the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M provided by the present invention can be used to reduce the mutual interference between the antenna signal transmitting array region 201 and the antenna signal receiving array region 301 (for example, it can improve the antenna isolation or obtain a lower antenna isolation).

[0038] For example, since the antenna signal transmission array region 201 is located between the first left dummy load antenna array region 411L and the first right dummy load antenna array region 411R, the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M provided by the present invention can be used to reduce the ripple of the antenna radiation pattern generated by the signal transmission antenna structure 20 and improve the approximation of the antenna gain value generated by the signal transmission antenna structure 20.

[0039] For example, since the antenna signal receiving array region 301 is located between the second left dummy load antenna array region 421L and the second right dummy load antenna array region 421R, the block-type millimeter-wave array antenna module M provided by the present invention can be used to reduce the ripple of an antenna radiation pattern generated by the signal receiving antenna structure 30 and improve the approximation of the antenna gain value generated by the signal receiving antenna structure 30.
