[0048] In order to increase the communication frequency bands of the antenna, the electronic device according to the embodiments of the present application increases the structure of a slot antenna.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows the basic structure principle of a slot antenna. The slot antenna is an antenna formed by opening a slot in a conductor surface. The typical slot shape is a long strip, and the length is about half a wavelength. The slot can be fed by a transmission line across its narrow side, or by a waveguide or resonant cavity. When the slot antenna has current passing through it, an RF electromagnetic field is excited on the slot and radiates electromagnetic waves into space, realizing communication.
[0050] The slit antenna of the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application is formed by multiplexing at least part of components with the metal frame antenna, and thus the utilization rate of the limited space layout antenna inside the electronic device can be improved.
[0051] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the electronic device in the embodiments of the present application comprises a metal frame 1, a target component 2, a first antenna 3 and a second antenna 4, wherein the target component 2 is fixed to a carrier of the metal frame 1; the first antenna 3 at least comprises a target metal segment 11 of the metal frame 1; the first antenna 3 receives or emits a radiation signal of a first frequency band at least through the target metal segment 11 of the metal frame 1.

[0053] The electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises the target metal segment 11 of the metal frame 1 in the first antenna 3; the second antenna 4 is a slit antenna, comprising the slit and part of the metal of the target metal segment 11 and part of the metal of the target component 2; the first antenna 3 receives or emits the radiation signal of the first frequency band at least through the target metal segment 11 of the metal frame 1; the second antenna 4 receives or emits the radiation signal of the second frequency band through the part of the metal of the target metal segment 11 and the part of the metal of the target component 2; and the working frequency bands of the radiation signal of the first frequency band and the radiation signal of the second frequency band have different intervals. In this way, at least part of the metal of the target metal segment 11 belongs to the first antenna 3 and also belongs to the second antenna 4, that is, the target metal segment 11 is multiplexed; at the same time, since the slit constituting the second antenna 4 comprises part of the metal of the target component 2, the target component 2 can be an inherent component inside the electronic device, and thus the number of components for antenna layout is saved, the space required for antenna layout is reduced, and the utilization rate of the limited space layout antenna inside the electronic device can be improved.
[0054] It can be understood that Figure 2 only some components of the electronic device are schematically shown, and the actual shape, actual size, actual position and actual structure of these components are not limited by Figure 2 .

[0056] The first antenna 3 of the electronic device can have various specific arrangement modes. For example, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The main radiator (the isolated metal segment 31) of the first antenna 3 is located at the bottom edge frame of the electronic device.
[0057] In some other embodiments, the main radiator (the isolated metal segment 31) of the first antenna 3 is located at the top edge frame of the metal frame 1 of the electronic device.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the parasitic branch (the target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 is located at the top edge frame of the metal frame 1 of the electronic device.
[0063] It can be understood that the specific position of the first antenna 3 can be determined according to the actual needs of the electronic device. The first antenna 3 can be formed at any position of the metal frame 1. The main radiator (the isolated metal segment 31) and the parasitic branch (the target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 in the above embodiments can be combined and replaced in any manner to form the first antenna 3, while meeting other arrangement conditions of the antenna.
[0064] In addition, when the parasitic branch (the target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 is located at the corner of the bottom edge frame or the corner of the top edge frame of the metal frame 1 of the electronic device, in order to adapt to the shape and structure of the metal frame 1 of the electronic device, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the parasitic branch (target metal segment 11) is bent and arranged at a corner of the metal frame 1.
[0065] For example, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , which show an implementation of the first antenna 3 according to an embodiment of the present application. The main radiator (isolated metal segment 31) of the first antenna 3 is located at the bottom bezel of the metal frame 1 of the electronic device, and the parasitic branch (target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 is located at a corner of the top bezel of the metal frame 1 of the electronic device and is bent and arranged. The isolated metal segment 31 is the part of the metal frame 1 between the two isolated openings 12, the target metal segment 11 is the bent part of the metal frame 1 arranged on the other side of one of the isolated openings 12 of the isolated metal segment 31, located at one of the corners of the bottom of the metal frame 1, and is approximately crescent-shaped.
[0066] The first antenna 3 can be in the form of a PIFA antenna, a monopole antenna, etc., and can have a parasitic branch.
[0067] In some other embodiments, the parasitic branch (target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 includes two, which are located at two corners of the bottom of the metal frame 1.
[0068] For example, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first antenna 3 is connected to the power supply and controller inside the electronic device through the feed point 32 arranged at the isolated metal segment 31 to control the operation of the first antenna 3.
[0069] In the electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, at least part of the first antenna 3 can be multiplexed into the second antenna 4, so that the second antenna 4 forms a slot antenna. The second antenna 4 includes at least part of the first antenna 3 and other conductors, and the at least part of the first antenna 3 and the other conductors form a slot of the slot antenna.
[0070] In some embodiments, the second antenna 4 includes at least part of the main radiator (isolated metal segment 31) of the first antenna 3 and other conductors, and the at least part of the main radiator (isolated metal segment 31) of the first antenna 3 and the other conductors form a slot of the slot antenna.
[0071] In some embodiments, the second antenna 4 includes at least part of the parasitic branch (target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 and other conductors, and the at least part of the parasitic branch (target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 and the other conductors form a slot of the slot antenna.
[0072] For example, refer to Figure 1The second antenna 4 includes the parasitic branch (target metal segment 11) of the first antenna 3 and other conductive bodies, which form the gap of the gap antenna.
[0073] The other conductive bodies in the second antenna 4 can be designed based on the gap of the gap antenna, or can be adaptively designed by directly using the original metal parts in the electronic device. Compared with the former, the latter has less changes in the electronic device, is convenient for design and production, and further saves space and cost.
[0074] The target component 2 in the second antenna 4 can be any target component 2 that can form the gap of the gap antenna in cooperation with the first antenna 3. For example, the target component 2 can be a screen metal plate and a loudspeaker metal plate.

[0077] In some schemes of the embodiment, a gap of the gap antenna is formed between a part of the target metal segment 11 and a part of the screen metal plate, to constitute the second antenna 4.
[0078] In another scheme of the embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A gap of the gap antenna is formed between the entire target metal segment 11 and a part of the screen metal plate, to constitute the second antenna 4.
[0079] In some schemes, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The opening of the gap shares the target metal segment 11 with a target isolation opening 12 of the two isolation openings 12. The target isolation opening 12 is used to isolate the target metal segment 11 and the isolation metal segment 31. The opening of the gap of the second antenna 4 is arranged together with the target isolation opening 12.
[0080] In another scheme, the opening of the gap of the second antenna 4 is not arranged together with the target isolation opening 12, and the length and width of the gap of the second antenna 4 can be appropriately adjusted, as long as the circumference of the gap is half of the wavelength of the first resonant frequency.
[0081] In some schemes, the second antenna 4 is a WIFI 5G / 6E antenna, and the frequency range is 5.15GHz-7.15GHz. The slot length is 15mm, and the width is 1mm.
[0082] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the target component 2 is connected to the target metal segment 11 at the bottom of the slot, and the feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4 is arranged close to the bottom of the slot. In some schemes, the feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4 is located at one-tenth of the slot length of the second antenna 4.
[0083] The feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4 and the feed point 32 of the first antenna 3 are not required to be arranged in a special way, and can be arranged flexibly based on the internal space of the electronic device. For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the feed point 32 of the first antenna 3 is arranged on the isolation metal segment 31, and is arranged away from the feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4. In this way, the layout of the first antenna 3 and the second antenna 4.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 7 , after the second antenna 4 is arranged in the electronic device of the embodiment, the efficiency of the first antenna 3 at low frequency and medium frequency changes little, and the efficiency at high frequency only shifts a little from the peak value, but the peak efficiency changes little.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 8 , after the second antenna 4 is arranged in the electronic device of the embodiment, the S11 of the second antenna 4 is as shown in the figure.
[0087] Please refer to Figure 9 , after the second antenna 4 is arranged in the electronic device of the embodiment, the efficiency of WIFI 5G (5.15GHz-5.85GHz) is above -8dB, and the efficiency of WIFI 6E (5.95GHz-7.15GHz) is above -9dB.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 10 , after the second antenna 4 is arranged in the electronic device of the embodiment, the isolation S12 of the first antenna 3 and the second antenna 4 is very poor near 2.7GHz, only -3dB. After adding a filter circuit on the feed path of the second antenna 4, the isolation can be greatly improved, and the S12 is below -12dB.
[0089] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of poor isolation between the first antenna 3 and the second antenna 4, in some schemes, the second antenna 4 further comprises a filter circuit connected to the rear of the feed line of the second antenna 4, for filtering the resonant frequency of the second antenna 4 coinciding with the first antenna 3.

[0093] In some schemes of the present embodiment, a gap between part of the target metal segment 11 and part of the speaker metal plate forms a gap of a gap antenna, to constitute the second antenna 4.
[0094] In another scheme of the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , a gap between the entire target metal segment 11 and part of the speaker metal plate forms a gap of a gap antenna, to constitute the second antenna 4.
[0095] In some schemes, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the opening of the gap shares the target metal segment 11 with a target isolation opening 12 of the two isolation openings 12. The target isolation opening 12 is included in the two isolation openings 12 and is used to isolate the target metal segment 11 and the isolation metal segment 31. The opening of the gap of the second antenna 4 is arranged together with the target isolation opening 12.
[0096] In another scheme, the opening of the gap of the second antenna 4 is not arranged together with the target isolation opening 12, and the length and width of the gap of the second antenna 4 can be adjusted appropriately as long as the circumference of the gap is half of the wavelength of the first resonant frequency.
[0097] In some schemes, the second antenna 4 is a WIFI 5G / 6E antenna with a frequency range of 5.15GHz-7.15GHz. The length of the gap is 1.5mm, and the width is 1-1.5mm.
[0098] Please refer to Figure 12 andFigure 13 The target component 2 is connected to the target metal segment 11 at the bottom of the gap, and the feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4 is arranged close to the bottom of the gap. In some embodiments, for example, the feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4 is located at one-tenth of the length of the gap of the second antenna 4.
[0099] The feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4 and the feed point 32 of the first antenna 3 are not subject to special requirements and can be arranged flexibly based on the internal space of the electronic device. For example, refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The feed point 32 of the first antenna 3 is arranged on the isolation metal segment 31 and is arranged away from the feed structure 41 of the second antenna 4. In this way, the layout of the first antenna 3 and the second antenna 4.
[0100] For example, refer to Figure 14 After the electronic device of the embodiment is provided with the second antenna 4, the S11 of the first antenna 3 at low and medium frequencies changes little, and the S11 at high frequencies is slightly high.
[0101] For example, refer to Figure 15 After the electronic device of the embodiment is provided with the second antenna 4, the efficiency of the first antenna 3 at low and medium frequencies changes little, and the efficiency at high frequencies only shifts a little from the peak value, but the peak efficiency changes little.
[0102] For example, refer to Figure 16 After the electronic device of the embodiment is provided with the second antenna 4, the S11 of the second antenna 4 is as shown in the figure.
[0103] For example, refer to Figure 17 After the electronic device of the embodiment is provided with the second antenna 4, the efficiency of WIFI5G (5.15GHz-5.85GHz) and WIFI6E (5.95GHz-7.15GHz) is above -6.5dB
[0104] After the electronic device of the embodiment is provided with the second antenna 4, the isolation S12 of the first antenna 3 and the second antenna 4 is very poor near 2.7GHz, only -3dB. For example, refer to Figure 18 After a filter circuit is added to the feed of the second antenna 4, the isolation can be greatly improved, and the S12 is below -15dB.
[0105] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of poor isolation of the first antenna 3 and the second antenna 4, in some embodiments, the second antenna 4 further includes a filter circuit connected to the rear of the feed line of the second antenna 4, for filtering the resonant frequency of the second antenna 4 that coincides with the first antenna 3.
[0106] For example, refer to Figure 11The second antenna 4 of the embodiment can also adopt a specific implementation of the filtering circuit of the second antenna 4 of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the inductance value of the filtering circuit of the second antenna 4 is 1.0 nH, and the capacitance value is 3.8 pF. Both values can be adjusted appropriately to make the second antenna 4 meet the isolation requirement.
[0107] In addition, the embodiment of the application further provides a control method for controlling the electronic device, and the method comprises:
[0108] The controller supplies power to the target metal segment 11 based on the control signal, and controls the first antenna 3 to receive or emit the radiation signal of the first frequency band through the target metal segment 11 of the metal frame 1.
