[0044] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the first structure of an antenna assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. The antenna assembly may include a hard board area 100 and a soft board area 200. Two antenna branches 101 and 201 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the hard board area 100. The two antenna branches 101 and 201 are respectively connected to two hard board area microstrip lines 103 and 203. One end of the soft board area 200 is fixedly connected to the middle area of the hard board area 100. The antenna feed point is provided at the other end of the soft board area 200. Two soft board area microstrip lines 104 and 204 are respectively connected to the hard board area microstrip lines 103 and 203 in the soft board area 200. The other ends of the soft board area microstrip lines 104 and 204 are connected to the antenna feed point. The soft board area microstrip lines 104 and 204 and the hard board area microstrip lines 104 and 204 are used to adjust the impedance of the antenna feed point. For example, by calculating and designing different lengths or materials to perform impedance transformation, the impedance of the antenna feed point can be adjusted so that the above impedance is 50 ohms.
[0045] In one embodiment, the flexible circuit board area 100 may further include an impedance branch 106, through which the flexible circuit board microstrip lines 104 and 204 are connected to the antenna feed point. Impedance branch 106 can be used to adjust isolation and impedance. Impedance branch 106 can significantly improve isolation, achieving a minimum of -45dB in practical applications, far below the standard -20dB. The components of impedance branch 106 can be components, filters, or tuning elements, such as resistors, capacitors, or inductors. Further details are not provided in this application.
[0046] In one embodiment, the flexible board area 100 may further include a board-to-board connector 107 , so that the flexible board area 100 can be connected to a device mainboard via the board-to-board connector 107 .
[0047] In one embodiment, the rigid board area 100 may further include two coupling branches 102 and 202 disposed on the left and right sides, respectively. The two coupling branches are disposed below the two antenna branches, respectively. For example, the coupling branch 102 is disposed below the antenna branch 101, and the coupling branch 202 is disposed below the antenna branch 201. The radiators of the two antenna branches 101 and 201 may extend in opposite directions, respectively, and the two coupling branches 102 and 202 may be arc-shaped. Please continue to refer to Figure 1 A first coupling gap may be formed between the radiator of antenna branch 101 and coupling branch 102, and a second coupling gap may be formed between the radiator of antenna branch 201 and coupling branch 202. The two antenna branches 101 and 201 may be patch antennas, which may be fixed to the rigid board area 110 by bonding, embedding, welding, or the like.
[0048] In one embodiment, one side of the hard board area 100 further includes a notch, in which an LED light 105 can be embedded. The LED light 105 can be used to reflect the anti-interference performance of the antenna assembly.
[0049] In one embodiment, at least one positioning hole may be provided on the hard board area 100 so as to fix the antenna assembly on the main board of the device through the positioning hole, and an isolation wall may be provided on the periphery of the hard board area 100, and the isolation wall serves as a ground plane. Specifically, the isolation wall may include at least one isolation hole, such as an isolation hole located on the right side of the isolation wall and an isolation hole located on the left side of the isolation wall. In addition, the isolation wall also includes a grounding point so that the patch antennas 101 and 201 are connected to the ground plane through the grounding point. It should be noted that the ground plane can be regarded as the reference ground of the entire machine. The grounding point can also be fixedly connected to the reference ground of the entire machine by welding, and the grounding point can also be fixedly connected to the reference ground of the entire machine by screwing and locking. In other embodiments, the grounding point can also be connected to the reference ground of the entire machine through a connecting line, and this application does not further limit this.
[0050] In one embodiment, the flexible board area 200 can be made of a material with a relatively low DK (dielectric constant) and DF (dissipation factor), such as a modified polyimide or polytetrafluoroethylene or liquid crystal polymer with a dielectric constant of 3.0 and a dissipation factor of 0.001. The rigid board area 100 can be made of a high-frequency material with a relatively low dielectric constant and dissipation factor. The rigid board area 100 and the flexible board area 200 can be fixed by surface mounting or hot pressing welding. In this embodiment, the MPI flexible board is used to reduce the loss of its circuit, improve the performance of the antenna, and can also be integrated with surrounding devices such as LED lights, thereby improving space utilization from a design perspective.
[0051] The antenna assembly in this embodiment can be used to transmit and receive UWB signals. UWB signals have good anti-interference performance and can stably transmit data in complex environments. Through the UWB antenna design scheme of the multi-layer interlayer structure interconnection technology, each patch antenna is formed on the hard board area 100. The transmission line for connecting the PATCH antenna to the UWB communication circuit can be implemented on the MPI circuit board of the HTCP process. The above-mentioned antenna assembly can enable electronic devices to perform positioning operations by using the UWB antenna structure, thereby accurately measuring the position of another electronic device (which can be a base station or a tag). Figure 3 As shown, the device 10 integrating the above-mentioned UWB antenna assembly can be connected with other devices for positioning, including but not limited to advertising screens and or smart screens, remote controls, smart bracelets, smart rings, smart door locks, smart homes, etc. Figure 3 The remote control 20 and the smart screen 30, etc., are not further limited in this embodiment.
[0052] The UWB antenna provided in this embodiment utilizes an ultra-compact antenna design, measuring 26 × 9 × 2.5 mm. This optimizes the antenna by utilizing optimal clearance within the antenna area, simplifies assembly, avoids the consistency issues associated with complex antenna assembly, and reduces costs. It should be noted that the aforementioned UWB antenna utilizes a variety of dynamically deformable materials and structural designs to adjust the antenna's size and frequency to accommodate varying needs. This allows for integration into small devices with a smaller, thinner design while maintaining high performance.
[0053] In one embodiment, the multi-antenna mutual positioning technology uses a complex signal processing algorithm to accurately calculate the angle of arrival of the signal and extract useful information from the noise to achieve high-precision positioning. For example, through the Kalman filter algorithm, the state vector is used to represent the state of the system, including position, speed, etc. Kalman filtering can be integrated with other sensor data such as IMU (inertial measurement unit) to improve the overall positioning accuracy and stability by integrating multiple positioning technologies. In addition, Kalman filtering can also be used to process NLOS (non-line-of-sight) errors in UWB systems, further improving positioning accuracy.
[0054] As can be seen from the above, the antenna assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a soft board area and a hard board area. Two antenna branches are respectively provided at both ends of the hard board area. The two antenna branches are respectively connected to two hard board area microstrip lines. One end of the soft board area is fixedly connected to the middle area of the hard board area. The antenna feed point is provided at the other end of the soft board area. Two soft board area microstrip lines are provided in the soft board area, respectively connected to the hard board area microstrip lines. The other end of the soft board area microstrip line is connected to the antenna feed point. The soft board area microstrip line and the hard board area microstrip line are used to adjust the impedance of the antenna feed point. The antenna assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive signals and calculate their arrival angles through multiple antennas, further improving the accuracy of positioning and the reliability of the system.
[0055] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic device, including a housing and an antenna assembly, wherein the antenna assembly is located inside the housing and includes:
[0056] A hard board area, wherein two antenna branches are respectively provided at both ends of the hard board area, and the two antenna branches are respectively connected to two hard board area microstrip lines;

[0058] In one embodiment, the housing includes a metal middle frame and a bottom shell. The metal middle frame surrounds the bottom shell to form a receiving space. The antenna assembly A is a UWB antenna that can be disposed in the receiving space. Please refer to Figure 4 The storage space of the electronic device may also include an LTE antenna B, a 5G antenna C, an NFC antenna F, at least one camera such as a wide-angle camera D and a telephoto camera E, and a metal embedded area G.
[0059] In this embodiment, the LTE antenna B can be used to transmit and receive 4G (the 4th generation mobile communication technology) radio frequency signals, and the 5G antenna C can be used to transmit and receive 5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) radio frequency signals.

[0060] Furthermore, the NFC antenna F may be, for example, an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip, which can provide a differential excitation current. In addition, a non-NFC chip, such as a cellular communication chip, a Wi-Fi chip, or a GPS (Global Positioning System) chip, may also be included to provide a non-NFC excitation current. The non-NFC excitation current may include one of a cellular network signal, a Wi-Fi signal, and a GPS signal, which is not further limited in this embodiment.
[0061] In one embodiment, the electronic device may further include a carrier plate, which is connected to the metal middle frame and serves as a ground plane, and a gap is formed between the radiator inside the metal middle frame and the carrier plate.
[0062] In one embodiment, the electronic device further includes a battery and a circuit board, wherein the battery and the circuit board are both disposed on the carrier board, and the signal source is disposed on the circuit board.
[0063] In addition, it can be understood that the material of the above-mentioned middle frame can include metal, for example, when it includes metal such as magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, etc., the metal middle frame can be used to form a system ground, which is the entire ground of the electronic device.
[0064] In this embodiment, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, etc.
[0065] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 5 , where the electronic device with the integrated antenna component can be a smart door lock 40, which integrates the above-mentioned UWB antenna component 41, so it can be controlled by another UWB device (such as a mobile phone). The user does not need to touch the door lock with the mobile phone. As long as the mobile phone is within the specified range of the door lock, the door can be opened automatically. In addition, the above-mentioned smart door lock 40 also includes a password input interface 41, a fingerprint recognition interface 42 and a mechanical keyhole 43. The UWB smart door lock is designed with security in mind. Only users who have been authenticated by the homeowner can register, and after each unlocking, the user will receive a notification to understand the entry and exit situation. In addition, the smart door lock 40 with a UWB antenna component is also compatible with the cloud system. If a device such as a smartphone is lost, the user can delete the digital key of the door lock to increase security.
[0066] Specifically, the door lock application needs to be connected to ANT1 and ANT2 of the UWB antenna assembly through the two antennas in the hardware to achieve correct antenna installation and configuration, and then through the antenna module and module connection configuration, fixed parameter quick configuration, custom parameter configuration and other steps, and can be configured using AT commands. When connected to a mobile phone, the smart door lock 40 with a UWB antenna assembly supports direct connection with devices such as mobile phones (must have UWB function phones), and can use a door lock-specific APP to quickly pair and bind the mobile phone with the door lock. It should be noted that UWB technology has the advantages of low system complexity, low power spectrum density of the transmitted signal, insensitivity to channel fading, low interception capability, and high positioning accuracy. It is especially suitable for high-speed wireless access in dense multipath places such as indoors.
[0067] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 6, wherein the electronic device with the integrated antenna component can be a remote control 20, which integrates the above-mentioned UWB antenna component. The UWB antenna can form an air mouse through the IMU and UWB fusion positioning, allowing users to use the remote control to perform operations such as finger pressing, sliding, and long pressing on the smart screen, and obtain the same precise touch experience as a mobile phone / tablet. The remote control also supports a variety of gesture operations, such as sliding, tapping, dragging, circling, jumping, etc., which can be used to control the TV UI in the air, turning the TV into a "giant screen mobile phone". By combining the high-precision distance measurement of UWB with the real-time motion information of IMU, the accuracy and response speed of the positioning system can be improved. IMU data can be used to correct the measurement error and drift of UWB. Fusion algorithms usually use extended Kalman filtering (EKF), unscented Kalman filtering (UKF) or other filtering algorithms to integrate UWB and IMU data. These algorithms can handle the uncertainty and noise of sensor data and provide more accurate state estimation.
