In other embodiments, the circuit board 100 can include only one of each of the transceiving antennas 130 and the electromagnetic wave transceiving modules 140.
[0028] The present application is related to FIG. 1A Two dielectric layers 111 and 112 are used as an example, but not limited thereto. The dielectric layers 111 and 112 are located between the first metal pattern layer 121, the second metal pattern layer 122 and the third metal pattern layer 123, and the dielectric layers 111 and 112, the first metal pattern layer 121, the second metal pattern layer 122 and the third metal pattern layer 123 are all stacked and combined together. It should be noted that the material of the circuit board 100 is not limited, and a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate can be used.

The length l of each radiation hole 124 is in the range of one quarter to one half of the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave radiated by the corresponding transceiving antenna 130, so that the corresponding transceiving antenna 130 obtains greater gain.
[0031] FIG. 1B is FIG. 1A An enlarged schematic view of the transceiving antenna 130. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1BThe transceiving antennas 130 are disposed in the dielectric layer 111 and located between the radiation holes 124 and the holes 125. Each transceiving antenna 130 vertically projects toward the corresponding radiation hole 124 and overlaps the corresponding radiation hole 124, and vertically projects toward the corresponding hole 125 and overlaps the corresponding hole 125. Each transceiving antenna 130 is an array antenna and includes a plurality of antenna elements 131. The antenna elements 131 are arranged at intervals, and any two adjacent antenna elements 131 have a spacing d, wherein the length of the spacing d is in the range of one-eighth to one-quarter of the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave radiated by the corresponding transceiving antenna 130, so as to improve the bandwidth of the transceiving antenna 130.
[0032] The antenna elements 131 are patch antennas. In the present example, the transceiving antennas 130 are array antennas in which the antenna elements 131 are arranged in one row and four columns (1x4), but are not limited thereto, and the transceiving antennas 130 can also be array antennas in which the antenna elements 131 are arranged in four rows and four columns (4x4) or eight rows and eight columns (8x8). The transceiving antennas 130 can be controlled to form a predetermined antenna pattern in a beamforming manner, and the beams emitted by the transceiving antennas 130 can be beam scanned from the radiation holes 124 to the outside of the circuit board 100.

[0035] The processor 141 is configured to process electronic signals to perform operations, recognitions, sampling of feature values, etc. The transmitting circuit 142 is configured to process electronic signals to control the radiation of the transceiving antenna 130. The receiving circuit 143 is configured to process electronic signals converted from electromagnetic waves radiated by the transceiving antenna 130. The electromagnetic wave transmitter 144 is configured to generate electromagnetic wave signals, and can be a laser diode or a maser diode. The electromagnetic wave receiver 145 is configured to convert received electromagnetic waves into electronic signals, and can be a photodiode.

The process of the transceiving antenna 130 receiving electromagnetic waves is that the transceiving antenna 130 receives electromagnetic waves transmitted from the outside of the radiation hole 124 and radiates the electromagnetic waves to the electromagnetic wave transceiving module 140, the electromagnetic wave receiver 145 converts the received electromagnetic waves into electronic signals and transmits them to the receiving circuit 143, and the receiving circuit 143 demodulates the electronic signals and transmits them to the processor 141.
[0039] It is to be noted that the distance L between any two adjacent electromagnetic wave transceiving modules 140 is greater than twice the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave to avoid interference between the adjacent electromagnetic wave transceiving modules 140. Further, the circuit board 100 further comprises a plurality of shielding structures 150, which can be metal structures, such as copper pillars. The shielding structures 150 can be disposed between any two adjacent electromagnetic wave transceiving modules 140 to provide better shielding effect between the electromagnetic wave transceiving modules 140. In addition, the shielding structures 150 can also be disposed between any two adjacent transceiving antennas 130 to shield the interference between the transceiving antennas 130.
