Description

Technical Field

[0002] Wearable electronic devices are electronic devices worn on the human body. Wearable devices, especially smart watches, are usually used for activities such as walking, running, off-roading, cycling, rock climbing and mountain climbing. Wearable electronic devices usually include an antenna, a position determination element and a screen. The antenna receives one or more position signals, such as a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position signal, and transmits the received position signal to the position determination element, which processes the position signal to determine the geographic location of the electronic device. The screen can display information on a user interface presented to the user, such as the determined geographic location on a map. In actual usage scenarios, wearable electronic devices need to have good performance in receiving satellite signals to achieve accurate positioning.

[0003] In the prior art, smart watches generally use the metal ring on them as a radiator, and the radiator has a feeding point and two grounding points on both sides of the feeding point. The parts of the radiator located between the feeding point and the two grounding points are used to receive signals in the L1 (frequency band of 1.6GHZ) and L5 (frequency band of 1.2GHZ) frequency bands respectively. However, the above technical solution has the following problems: In order to ensure the right-handed gain of the L1 and L5 frequency bands toward the sky, the best layout point of the feeding point should be at the 2-4 o'clock position of the smart watch, and this position is generally the position of the watch button module.

[0069] The antenna structure on a traditional smartwatch includes two antennas, which share a feeding point, that is, the two antennas are distributed on both sides of the feeding point, one antenna is used to receive the positioning signal of the L1 band (1.6GHZ), and the other antenna is used to receive the signal of the L5 (1.2GHZ) band. In order to ensure the right-hand gain of the antenna structure receiving the L1 band signal and the L5 band signal toward the sky, the feeding point needs to be set at the 2-4 o'clock position on the smartwatch, and the 2-4 o'clock position of the smartwatch is the position of the button module, resulting in the inability to effectively guarantee the clearance space of the feeding point.

[0070] Based on the above problems, the present application embodiment provides an antenna structure, see Figure 1 As shown, the antenna structure includes a ring radiator 100, on which a feeding point F, a first grounding point G1 and a second grounding point G2 are provided. The feeding point F is used to be electrically connected to the position determination element, and the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 are used for grounding respectively. The first frequency band antenna 101 is configured to receive a first satellite positioning signal of a first frequency, and the first frequency band antenna 101 includes a radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1. The second frequency band antenna 102 is configured to receive a second satellite positioning signal of a second frequency, and the second frequency band antenna 102 includes a radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2.

[0071] Specifically, a feeding point F, a first grounding point G1, and a second grounding point G2 are arranged on the annular radiator 100, so that the annular radiator 100 forms a first frequency band antenna 101 and a second frequency band antenna 102. The first frequency band antenna 101 includes a radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, and the second frequency band antenna 102 includes a radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2. The first frequency band antenna 101 can receive a first satellite positioning signal of a first frequency. In addition, the half-wave slot mode of the radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 is excited by the feeding point F and the traveling wave mode of the radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive a second satellite positioning signal of a second frequency. Therefore, the first frequency band antenna 101 in the antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive a first satellite positioning signal of a first frequency, and the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive a second satellite positioning signal of a second frequency, so that the feeding point F can be set at a position other than points 2-4 of the smart watch on the premise of improving the right-hand gain of the antenna structure facing the sky. This can effectively ensure the clearance space of the feeding point F and reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the antenna structure and the wearable electronic device.

[0072] It should be noted that the designer can set the specific positions of the feeding point F, the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 according to actual conditions. The designer can also design the equivalent lengths of the first frequency band antenna 101 and the second frequency band antenna 102 according to actual conditions, so that the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive the first satellite positioning signal of the first frequency, and the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive the second satellite positioning signal of the second frequency.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the feed point F, the first ground point G1 and the second ground point G2 are sequentially arranged in a counterclockwise direction along the circumference of the annular radiator 100. The equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 is 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band, and the equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 is 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band.

[0074] Specifically, the equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band, so that the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive the signal of the L1 frequency band (1.6 GHZ). The equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band, so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive the signal of the L5 frequency band (1.2 GHZ).

[0075] Figure 1 The antenna structure shown sets the feeding point F at the 5 o'clock position on the ring radiator 100. Figure 2 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L5 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-60° and 180°-240°. Figure 2 The thick line part represents the right-hand gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line part represents the left-hand gain of the antenna structure. Figure 3 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L1 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-120° and 210°-360°. Figure 3 The thick line portion represents the right-handed gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line portion represents the left-handed gain of the antenna structure.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the antenna structure sets the feeding point F at the 5 o'clock position on the annular radiator 100. The axial ratio of the antenna structure is about 7dB at 1.2GHZ, and the axial ratio of the antenna structure is about 4dB at 1.6GHZ. The axial ratio characteristics of the antenna structure at 1.2GHZ and 1.6GHZ are better, and the antenna structure can well receive L1 band signals and L5 band signals.

[0077] Based on the frequency doubling principle, the second frequency band antenna 102 can also receive 2.4 GHZ signals, and at this time the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive WIFI / BT signals (WIFI signals or Bluetooth signals). Therefore, the antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive L1 frequency band signals, L5 frequency band signals and WIFI / BT signals.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 can also be set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band, and the equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 can be set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band.

[0079] Specifically, the equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band, so that the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive the signal of the L5 frequency band. The equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band, so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive the signal of the L1 frequency band.

[0080] Figure 5 The antenna structure shown sets the feeding point F at the 6 o'clock position on the ring radiator 100. Figure 6 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L5 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-60° and 180°-240°. Figure 6 The thick line part represents the right-hand gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line part represents the left-hand gain of the antenna structure. Figure 7 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L1 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-120° and 210°-360°. Figure 7 The thick line portion represents the right-handed gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line portion represents the left-handed gain of the antenna structure.

[0081] Based on the frequency doubling principle, the first frequency band antenna 101 can also receive the frequency doubling signal of L5. Since L5 is a 1.2 GHZ signal, the first frequency band antenna 101 can also receive a 2.4 GHZ signal, that is, the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive a WIFI / BT signal (WIFI signal or Bluetooth signal). Therefore, the antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive L1 frequency band signals, L5 frequency band signals, and WIFI / BT signals.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the feeding point F, the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 are sequentially arranged in a clockwise direction along the circumference of the annular radiator 100. The equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 can be set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band, and the equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 can be set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band.

[0083] Specifically, the equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band, so that the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive the signal of the L1 frequency band (1.6 GHZ). The equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band, so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive the signal of the L5 frequency band (1.2 GHZ).

[0084] Figure 8 The antenna structure shown sets the feeding point F at the 9 o'clock position on the annular radiator 100. Fig. 9 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L5 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-90° and 210°-300°. Fig. 9 The thick line part represents the right-hand gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line part represents the left-hand gain of the antenna structure. Fig.10 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L1 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-50° and 190°-310°. Fig.10 The thick line portion represents the right-handed gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line portion represents the left-handed gain of the antenna structure.

[0085] Based on the frequency doubling principle, the second frequency band antenna 102 can also receive 2.4 GHZ signals, and at this time the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive WIFI / BT signals (WIFI signals or Bluetooth signals). Therefore, the antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive L1 frequency band signals, L5 frequency band signals and WIFI / BT signals.

[0086] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, the equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 can also be set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band, and the equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 can be set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band.

[0087] Specifically, the equivalent length of the first frequency band antenna 101 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L5 frequency band, so that the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive the signal of the L5 frequency band. The equivalent length of the second frequency band antenna 102 is set to 1 / 2 of the wavelength of the L1 frequency band, so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive the signal of the L1 frequency band.

[0088] Fig.11 The antenna structure shown sets the feeding point F at the 9 o'clock position on the annular radiator 100. Fig.12 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L5 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-110°, 220°-300°, and 330°-360°. Fig.12 The thick line part represents the right-hand gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line part represents the left-hand gain of the antenna structure. Fig.13 As shown, when the antenna structure receives L1 frequency band signals, it has good right-hand gain at 0°-50°, 180°-320°, and 330°-360°. Fig.13 The thick line portion represents the right-handed gain of the antenna structure, and the thin line portion represents the left-handed gain of the antenna structure.

[0089] Based on the frequency doubling principle, the first frequency band antenna 101 can also receive the frequency doubling signal of L5. Since L5 is a 1.2 GHZ signal, the first frequency band antenna 101 can also receive a 2.4 GHZ signal, that is, the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive a WIFI / BT signal (WIFI signal or Bluetooth signal). Therefore, the antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive L1 frequency band signals, L5 frequency band signals, and WIFI / BT signals.

[0090] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, a third grounding point G3 is also provided on the annular radiator 100, and the third grounding point G3 is close to the feeding point F, and the third grounding point G3 is used for grounding. The third grounding point G3 is used to improve the impedance matching at the feeding point F position.

[0091] In some embodiments, the ring radiator 100 is at least partially composed of a conductive material.

[0092] Specifically, the designer may design the ring radiator 100 as a complete circular ring radiator (eg Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig.11 and Fig.14 as shown), or it can be designed as part of a complete ring radiator (e.g. Fig.15 As shown), it is necessary to ensure that the radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1 and the radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 are made of conductive materials. If a third grounding point G3 is set on the annular radiator 100, it is necessary to ensure that the radiator between the feeding point F and the third grounding point G3 is made of conductive materials. The conductive material can be metal, metal alloy or other conductive materials.

The second frequency tuning element is used to adjust the resonant frequency of the second frequency band antenna 102 so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive a signal of the second frequency.

[0095] Figure 1-Figure 15As shown, the present application also discloses an antenna structure, which includes a ring radiator 100, on which a feeding point F, a first grounding point G1 and a second grounding point G2 are provided, the feeding point F is used to be electrically connected to the position determination element, and the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 are used for grounding respectively. The first frequency band antenna 101 is configured to receive a first satellite positioning signal of a first frequency, the first frequency band antenna 101 includes a first radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, and the first radiator is electrically coupled to the feeding point F.

[0096] Specifically, a feeding point F, a first grounding point G1, and a second grounding point G2 are arranged on the annular radiator 100, so that the annular radiator 100 forms a first frequency band antenna 101 and a second frequency band antenna 102. The first frequency band antenna 101 includes a radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, and the second frequency band antenna 102 includes a radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2. The first frequency band antenna 101 can receive a first satellite positioning signal of a first frequency. In addition, the half-wave slot mode of the radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 is excited by the feeding point F and the traveling wave mode of the radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive a second satellite positioning signal of a second frequency. Because the first frequency band antenna 101 includes a first radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, the first radiator is electrically coupled to the feeding point F, and the second frequency band antenna 102 includes a second radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2, and the second radiator is electrically coupled to the feeding point F.

Therefore, the first frequency band antenna 101 in the antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive the first satellite positioning signal of the first frequency, and the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive the second satellite positioning signal of the second frequency, so that the feeding point F can be set at a position other than 2-4 points of the smart watch under the premise of improving the right-hand gain of the antenna structure facing the sky, so that the clearance space of the feeding point F can be effectively guaranteed, and the difficulty of manufacturing the antenna structure and the wearable electronic device can be reduced.

[0097] It should be noted that the designer can set the specific positions of the feeding point F, the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 according to actual conditions. The designer can also design the equivalent lengths of the first frequency band antenna 101 and the second frequency band antenna 102 according to actual conditions, so that the first frequency band antenna 101 can receive the first satellite positioning signal of the first frequency, and the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive the second satellite positioning signal of the second frequency.

[0099] Specifically, the annular radiator can be arranged on the upper edge of the side wall, or on the inner wall of the side wall. A feeding point F, a first grounding point G1, and a second grounding point G2 are arranged on the annular radiator.

The second frequency band antenna 102 is configured to receive a second satellite positioning signal of a second frequency, and the second frequency band antenna 102 includes a radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2.

[0100] A feeding point F, a first grounding point G1 and a second grounding point G2 are arranged on the annular radiator 100, so that the annular radiator 100 forms a first frequency band antenna 101 and a second frequency band antenna 102. The first frequency band antenna 101 includes a radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, and the second frequency band antenna 102 includes a radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2. The first frequency band antenna 101 can receive a first satellite positioning signal of a first frequency. In addition, the half-wave slot mode of the radiator between the first grounding point G1 and the second grounding point G2 is excited by the feeding point F and the traveling wave mode of the radiator between the feeding point F and the first grounding point G1, so that the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive a second satellite positioning signal of a second frequency. Therefore, the first frequency band antenna 101 in the antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive a first satellite positioning signal of a first frequency, and the second frequency band antenna 102 can receive a second satellite positioning signal of a second frequency, so that the feeding point F can be set at a position other than points 2-4 of the smart watch while improving the right-hand gain of the antenna structure. This can effectively ensure the clearance space of the feeding point F and reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the antenna structure and the wearable electronic device.
