[0001] This invention belongs to the field of antenna technology in the integrated design of communication systems, and specifically relates to an omnidirectional broadband antenna based on multimode resonance. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of wireless communication technology, there is a demand for antenna devices that can meet the continuous development needs of current wireless communication systems. Broadband antennas, as a key component in wireless communication systems for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves, have received widespread attention and research.

[0003] Among the various designs of broadband antennas, multimode broadband antennas have attracted much attention. By introducing one or more operating modes and adjusting the resonant frequency spacing of each mode, the bandwidth can be extended. Most existing multimode resonant antenna technologies, both domestically and internationally, employ multiple resonant elements or stacked patches. Their common drawbacks are large antenna size, complex structure, and high cost.

[0004] To achieve both antenna miniaturization and wide bandwidth, this invention proposes a multimode resonant composite antenna that bends a traditional dipole to form an L-shaped folded dipole and couples it with a rectangular ring patch. Compared with existing technologies, this multimode omnidirectional broadband antenna based on an L-shaped folded dipole and a rectangular ring patch features a wide operating bandwidth, simple structure, easy integration, low cost, high reliability, and easy manufacturing. Its frequency coverage includes Wi-Fi, WLAN, WiMAX, 5G Sub-6GHz, and RFID bands, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems of narrow operating bandwidth, complex structure, and poor radiation performance of current antennas by providing an omnidirectional broadband antenna based on multimode resonance. By effectively exciting the four resonant frequencies of the antenna, the performance within the frequency band is improved, achieving broadband requirements while maintaining good omnidirectional radiation performance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0007] An omnidirectional broadband antenna based on multimode resonance includes an L-shaped folded dipole, a rectangular ring, a U-shaped stub, a dielectric substrate, an SMA connector, and a feed line. The L-shaped folded dipole, rectangular ring, U-shaped stub, and SMA connector are all located on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate, and the feed line is located on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate. A first metallized via and a second metallized via are formed on the dielectric substrate in a vertical direction. The first and second metallized vias are symmetrically distributed about the longitudinal centerline of the dielectric substrate. The outer conductor of the SMA connector is connected to the right arm of the L-shaped folded dipole, and the inner conductor of the SMA connector passes through the right arm of the L-shaped folded dipole and the first metallized via to connect to one end of the feed line. The other end of the feed line passes through the second metallized via to connect to the left arm of the L-shaped folded dipole.

[0008] Furthermore, the L-shaped folded dipole consists of a left arm and a right arm. The left arm and the right arm have the same structure, both consisting of a horizontal patch and a vertical patch. The left arm and the right arm are arranged symmetrically about the longitudinal center line of the dielectric substrate.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal distance between the left and right arms of the L-shaped folded dipole is 1.3 mm, the length of the left arm in the horizontal direction is 16.1 mm, the width in the vertical direction is 16 mm, the cross-sectional width of the horizontal patch is 4.5 mm, the cross-sectional width of the vertical patch is 3.95 mm, and the vertical distance between the lower end of the vertical patch and the rectangular ring is 0.5 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the rectangular ring is composed of four connected patches, and the center point of the rectangular ring coincides with the center point of the dielectric substrate.

[0011] Furthermore, the rectangular ring has a length of 42mm, a width of 34.5mm, and a cross-sectional width of 3mm.

[0012] Furthermore, there are four U-shaped branches, arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the rectangular ring, and the four U-shaped branches are symmetrical about the center point of the dielectric substrate.

[0013] Furthermore, the U-shaped branch consists of two horizontal branches and one vertical branch, wherein the cross-sectional width of the horizontal branch is 0.5 mm, the cross-sectional width of the vertical branch is 0.7 mm, the length of the U-shaped branch in the horizontal direction and the width in the vertical direction are both 6 mm, and the vertical distance between the U-shaped branch and the rectangular ring is 0.75 mm.

[0014] Furthermore, the dielectric substrate has a size of 50mm × 45mm and is made of FR4 epoxy resin with a dielectric constant of 4.4, a loss tangent of 0.02, and a thickness of 1mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the radius of the first metallized via and the second metallized via is 0.3 mm, the height is 1 mm, the horizontal distance between the first metallized via and the second metallized via is 6.3 mm, and the vertical distance between the first metallized via and the second metallized via and the lower edge of the vertical patch is 4.15 mm.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] This invention generates a new resonant frequency by bending a traditional dipole to form an L-shaped folded dipole; a rectangular ring is added around the L-shaped folded dipole to introduce two new resonant modes, further widening the antenna bandwidth; finally, four U-shaped stubs are symmetrically introduced inside the rectangular ring to improve impedance matching and cross-polarization at high frequencies; by effectively exciting the four resonant modes of the antenna, good wide-side radiation performance is achieved while obtaining broadband.

[0018] This invention forms an L-shaped folded dipole by bending a traditional dipole and coupling it with a rectangular ring for radiation. The structure is simple, easy to integrate, low in cost, and highly reliable. It meets the requirements of broadband wireless communication and can be applied in Wi-Fi, WLAN, WIMAX, 5G Sub-6GHz and RFID bands.

The outer conductor of the SMA connector is connected to the right arm of the L-shaped folded dipole. The inner conductor of the SMA connector 5 passes through the right arm of the L-shaped folded dipole 1 and the first metallized via 7 and is connected to one end of the feed line 6. The other end of the feed line 6 passes through the second metallized via 8 and is connected to the left arm of the L-shaped folded dipole 1.

[0037] The L-shaped folded dipole 1 consists of a left arm and a right arm. The left and right arms have the same structure, each consisting of a horizontal patch and a vertical patch. The left and right arms are symmetrically arranged about the longitudinal center line of the dielectric substrate 4. The horizontal distance between the left and right arms of the L-shaped folded dipole 1 is 1.3 mm. The left arm has a horizontal length of 16.1 mm and a vertical width of 16 mm.

[0039] There are four U-shaped branches 3, arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the rectangular ring 2. The four U-shaped branches 3 are symmetrical about the center point of the dielectric substrate 4. Each U-shaped branch 3 consists of two horizontal branches and one vertical branch. The cross-sectional width of the horizontal branch is 0.5 mm, and the cross-sectional width of the vertical branch is 0.7 mm.

The antenna operates in the frequency band of 1.81-5.67 GHz, with four resonant frequencies at 1.89 GHz, 2.64 GHz, 4.18 GHz, and 5.49 GHz, respectively. Within the 1.81-5.67 GHz frequency band, the impedance bandwidth reaches 103.2%, indicating that the antenna has a wide bandwidth effect.

At these four frequencies, the antenna exhibits a good wide-side dipole-shaped radiation pattern with a symmetrical profile, maintaining good omnidirectional radiation performance while achieving a wide bandwidth.
