[0044] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
[0045] Figure 1 This is a structural example of an antenna module shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the antenna module 100 includes:
[0046] First radiator 101;
[0047] The second radiator 102 has a gap with the first radiator 101;
[0048] A current adjustment circuit 103 is connected between the end of the first radiator 101 near the gap and the ground wire, and includes at least one first impedance element; wherein the impedance value of the first impedance element is used to adjust the current of the first radiator 101 to adjust the radiation efficiency.
[0049] Antenna module 100 can be an antenna module installed in a terminal device with antenna function, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, or smart wearable device. The terminal device transmits and receives signals through antenna module 100, enabling the terminal device to communicate with other external devices.
[0050] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102 are spaced apart, for example, stacked or side-by-side. Both the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102 have impedance matching circuits for adjusting the impedance so that either the first radiator 101 or the second radiator 102 can generate a resonant mode in its respective target frequency band, thus operating in its corresponding frequency band. One end of the impedance matching circuit is connected to the radiator (first radiator 101 and second radiator 102) through a feed point, and the other end is connected to one end of a signal source, with the other end of the signal source grounded.
[0051] Impedance matching circuits can be composed of inductors and capacitors connected in series or in parallel, and the embodiments disclosed herein do not impose any limitations on this.
[0052] In embodiments of this disclosure, the first radiator 101 is used to transmit and receive wireless signals for cellular mobile communication; the second radiator 102 is used to transmit and receive wireless fidelity signals.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102 can be radiators used for transmitting and receiving different wireless signals. However, this embodiment is not limited to the first radiator 101 transmitting and receiving cellular mobile communication wireless signals and the second radiator 102 transmitting and receiving wireless fidelity signals. For example, the first radiator 101 or the second radiator 102 can also transmit and receive Bluetooth wireless signals, etc.
[0054] Both the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102 include a ground terminal, but in the embodiments of this disclosure, the ground terminal of the first radiator 101 is the end near the gap, and at this end, there is also a current regulating circuit 103. Figure 1 As shown, the current regulating circuit 103 is connected between the end of the first radiator 101 near the gap and the ground wire. The current regulating circuit 103 includes at least one first impedance element. The impedance value of the first impedance element is used to regulate the current flowing through the first radiator 101 to regulate the radiation efficiency.
[0055] In one embodiment, the first impedance element includes:
[0056] Inductors and / or capacitors.
[0057] In embodiments of this disclosure, for example, an inductor with a large inductance value or a capacitor with a small capacitance value is provided in the current regulation circuit, so that less current flows through the inductor or capacitor back to ground, and the current can flow through the first radiator 101 as much as possible. That is, the field shape is adjusted to be closer to the first radiator 101, so that the electromagnetic wave can be radiated outward as much as possible, thereby improving the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101.
[0058] In related technologies, one approach involves introducing a parasitic branch at the gap between two radiators to cancel the current coupling when the two radiators operate simultaneously. However, this method has several drawbacks. First, it requires the introduction of an additional parasitic branch, which occupies the limited space of the terminal equipment. Furthermore, if the parasitic branch is too thin and long with a narrow bandwidth, the coupling cancellation effect may be poor. Second, this solution focuses on solving the isolation problem rather than improving radiation efficiency by changing the radiation modes of the two radiators. If the parasitic branch is not properly tuned, it can easily lead to a point of maximum impedance in the sideband S11, causing the efficiency to drop too quickly.
[0059] In this disclosure, by introducing a first impedance element at the grounding terminal of the first radiator 101, not much extra space is required, and the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101 can be improved.
[0060] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, since there is coupling between the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102, the larger the inductance, the stronger the coupling. When the coupling exceeds a certain value, the radiation efficiency of the first radiator may no longer increase but instead decrease. Therefore, this disclosure needs to determine the range of values for the first impedance element.
[0061] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the selection of the first impedance element can be determined based on the frequency band and length of the first radiator 101 and / or the second radiator 102, for example, by experimentally determining the value range of the first impedance element. Taking an inductor as an example, within a determined range of inductance values, the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101 is directly proportional to the inductance value. Taking a capacitor as an example, within a determined range of capacitance values, the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101 is inversely proportional to the capacitance value.
[0062] In one embodiment, taking a first radiator 101 with a frequency of 1.46 GHz and a first antenna length of 17 mm as an example, the adjustment range of the inductor in the current adjustment circuit 103 can be 10 to 20 nanohenries (nH). Within this adjustment range, the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101 is proportional to the inductance value.
[0063] Figure 2 An example of current return to ground shown in this disclosure embodiment Figure 1 , Figure 3 An example of current return to ground shown in this disclosure embodiment Figure 2 . Figure 2 This describes the current flow when the first impedance element is an inductor with a impedance of 15nH. Figure 3 This refers to the current flow when the first impedance element is an inductor with a impedance of 1nH, compared to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 The return current to ground marked L1 is less than Figure 3 The L2 indicator represents the return current to ground. Therefore, when the inductance value is 15nH, the current flowing through the first radiator 101 is greater than when the inductance value is 1nH, resulting in better radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101.
[0064] Figure 4 This is an example diagram illustrating a radiation efficiency in an embodiment of this formula, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the radiation efficiency curves of the first radiator 101 corresponding to the 15nH and 1nH inductors are respectively. The darker curve is the radiation efficiency corresponding to the 1nH inductor returning to ground, which is -9dB; the lighter curve is the radiation efficiency corresponding to the 15nH inductor returning to ground, which is -6dB, showing a significant improvement in efficiency.
[0065] In one embodiment, the current regulation circuit 103 includes:
[0066] At least one first controlled switch, and one first controlled switch is connected to one first impedance element;
[0067] Wherein, when the first controlled switch has different switching states, the first impedance element has different impedances.
[0068] In embodiments of this disclosure, the current regulation circuit 103 can control the operation of different first impedance elements through multiple first controlled switches. For example, when the first radiator 101 can operate in different frequency bands, the radiation efficiency is adjusted by different first impedance elements in different frequency bands. Therefore, the radiation efficiency can be adjusted by controlling the first controlled switch corresponding to the current radiation frequency band of the first radiator 101 to open.
[0069] For example, the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101 at high frequencies (e.g., 2 GHz or 3 GHz) can be optimized by enabling an inductor with an inductance value of 20 nH.
[0070] In one embodiment, the antenna module 100 further includes:
[0071] First signal source 104;
[0072] The first impedance matching circuit 105 has one end connected to the first feed point located in the middle of the first radiator 101, and the other end connected to one end of the first signal source 104, with the other end of the first signal source 104 grounded.
[0073] Second signal source 106;
[0074] The second impedance matching circuit 107 has one end connected to the second feed point located in the middle of the second radiator 102, and the other end connected to one end of the second signal source 106, with the other end of the second signal source 106 grounded.
[0075] Figure 5 This is a structural example of an antenna module shown in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 ,like Figure 5As shown, the antenna module 100 also includes a first signal source 104 and a first impedance matching circuit 105. One end of the first impedance matching circuit 105 is located at a first feed point A at the middle position of the first radiator 101, and the other end is connected to one end of the first signal source 104. As mentioned above, the impedance matching circuit is used to adjust the impedance so that the first radiator 101 can generate a resonant mode in its respective target frequency band to operate in the corresponding frequency band. In this embodiment, the first feed point for connecting the first impedance matching circuit 105 is located at the middle position of the first radiator 101. On the one hand, compared to the method of being located at the end of the first radiator 101 far from the gap, the problem of low radiation efficiency caused by forming a loop antenna can be reduced; on the other hand, compared to the method of being located at the end of the gap, the problem of low radiation efficiency is caused by the reduction of bandwidth.
[0076] As can be seen from the above, placing the first feed point A in the middle position can improve the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101. Similarly, for the second radiator 102, placing the second feed point B in the middle position can improve the radiation efficiency of the second radiator 102.
[0077] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a physical antenna employing the antenna module structure described in this embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A simplified schematic diagram of the corresponding antenna structure. (See attached diagram.) Figure 6 As shown, the 17mm antenna is the first radiator 101 in this embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, the portion marked 101 is the first radiator of this disclosure, the portion marked 102 is the second radiator of this disclosure, a gap exists between 101 and 102, the portion marked 103 is the current regulation circuit of this disclosure, the portion marked 104 is the first signal source, and the portion marked 106 is the second signal source. One end of 103 is located at the end of 101 near the gap, and the other end is connected to ground. One end of 104 is connected through a first impedance matching circuit (not shown in the figure) connected to the middle position of 101, and the other end is grounded. One end of 106 is connected through a second impedance matching circuit (not shown in the figure) connected to the middle position of 102, and the other end is grounded.
[0078] In one embodiment, the current regulation circuit 103 further includes:
[0079] At least one second impedance element is connected in parallel with the at least one first impedance element; wherein the impedance value of the second impedance element is used to adjust the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101.
[0080] At least one second controlled switch, wherein the second controlled switch is connected in series with a second impedance element; wherein, when the first radiator 101 stops transmitting and receiving wireless signals, the first controlled switch is turned off and the second controlled switch is turned on.
[0081] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the current regulation circuit 103 further includes at least one second impedance element and at least one second controlled switch. When the first radiator 101 is in working state and the second radiator 102 is not working, both the first and second controlled switches are turned on. The first impedance element and the second impedance element can jointly adjust the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101, for example, to optimize the radiation performance of the first radiator 101 in the high-frequency band.
[0082] In this embodiment, when the first radiator 101 stops transmitting and receiving wireless signals, that is, when the first radiator 101 is not working, the first controlled switch is turned off and the first impedance element is not working, while the second controlled switch is turned on and the second impedance element is working, thereby adjusting the radiation efficiency of the second radiator.
[0083] In one embodiment, the second impedance element includes:
[0084] A resistor or a capacitor; wherein the resistance value of the resistor is less than a preset resistance value, and the capacitance value of the capacitor is greater than a preset capacitance value.
[0085] In this embodiment, the second impedance element can be a resistor with a resistance value less than a preset resistance value, such as a zero-resistance resistor, or a capacitor with a capacitance value greater than a preset capacitance value, such as a large capacitor. Through the second impedance element, even if the first radiator 101 is not operating, the current generated by energizing it can still return to ground through the second impedance element, thereby reducing the current flowing through the first radiator 101. This weakens the coupling between the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102, improves the isolation between them, reduces the impact on the radiation efficiency of the second radiator 102, and thus improves the radiation efficiency of the second radiator 102.
[0086] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, if both the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102 are in operation, adjusting the first and second impedance elements in the current adjustment circuit will cause the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101 to increase, thereby decreasing the radiation efficiency of the second radiator 102; conversely, adjusting the first and second impedance elements will cause the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 101 to decrease, thereby increasing the radiation efficiency of the second radiator 102. This invention also provides a terminal device, including... Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 The antenna module provided in any of the embodiments. In this embodiment, the terminal device can achieve and Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 7 The same beneficial effects are shown in the embodiments, and will not be repeated here to avoid repetition.
[0087] Furthermore, in embodiments of this disclosure, the terminal device includes:
[0088] A first metal frame and a second metal frame with a gap; the first metal frame is reused as the first radiator 101 of the antenna module; the second metal frame is reused as the second radiator 102 of the antenna module.
[0089] In embodiments of this disclosure, the metal frame of the terminal device can be reused as a first radiator 101 and a second radiator 102 to reduce the space occupied by the additional antenna body.
[0090] Of course, the terminal device disclosed herein is not limited to using a metal frame reused as the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102. The first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102 may also be laser-direct-structuring (LDS) traces, flexible printed circuit board (FPC) circuits, or steel sheet structures.
[0091] In one embodiment, the first metal frame and the second metal frame are both located on the same side frame of the terminal device;
[0092] or,
[0093] The first metal frame and the second metal frame are respectively located on adjacent frames of the terminal device.
[0094] In this embodiment, when the metal frame of the terminal device is reused as an antenna, the frame on the same side or adjacent sides can be reused as the first radiator 101 and the second radiator 102, which has the characteristics of flexible design.
