Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an antenna device and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of communication technology, antenna devices and electronic devices such as smartphones are able to perform more and more functions, and their communication modes are becoming more diversified. Each communication mode requires a corresponding antenna to support it. Generally, in the antenna design process, the specific absorption rate (SAR) is used to evaluate the impact of electromagnetic radiation generated by antenna devices and electronic devices on the human body. The higher the SAR value, the greater the impact on the human body.

[0003] Relevant laws stipulate that the SAR value of mobile phone antennas cannot exceed 1.6 W / kg. Antenna devices and electronic equipment in related technologies are often designed with a power back-off mechanism. When the SAR value of the antenna is detected to be too high, the antenna's transmission power is reduced to lower the SAR value. However, the back-off operation will seriously affect the antenna's radiation performance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an antenna design scheme with a low SAR value and superior radiation performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an antenna device and electronic device that can have a low SAR value and superior radiation performance when supporting wireless signals.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides an antenna device, comprising:

[0006] The first radiator includes a first free end, a feed point, and a first grounding end, wherein the first grounding end is grounded;

[0007] The signal source is electrically connected to the feed point;

[0008] The second radiator includes a second free end and a second ground end, wherein a coupling gap is formed between the second free end and the first free end, and the second ground end extends in a direction away from the first radiator and is grounded;

[0009] A coupling adjustment circuit is provided, one end of which is electrically connected between the signal source and the feed point, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the second radiator; wherein...

[0010] The signal source is used to excite the first radiator and the second radiator to jointly generate a resonant mode and support the transmission and reception of wireless signals. Part of the resonant current formed by the resonant mode is electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator through the coupling gap, and another part of the resonant current flows between the first radiator and the second radiator through the coupling adjustment circuit.

[0011] Secondly, this application also provides an electronic device, including the antenna device described above.

[0012] The antenna device and electronic equipment of this application form a coupling gap between the first free end of the first radiator and the second free end of the second radiator. The first grounding end of the first radiator and the second grounding end of the second radiator are far apart from each other and grounded. The first radiator and the second radiator can form a port-to-port antenna radiation structure. At the same time, one end of the coupling adjustment circuit is electrically connected between the signal source and the feed point of the first radiator, and the other end of the coupling adjustment circuit is electrically connected to the second radiator. The resonant current generated by the excitation of the signal source can flow on the first radiator and be electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator through the coupling gap and flow on the second radiator. At the same time, the resonant current can also flow between the first radiator and the second radiator through the coupling adjustment circuit. Thus, the resonant current can form at least two current paths between the first radiator and the second radiator through the coupling gap and the coupling adjustment circuit. The resonant current can be more dispersed between the first radiator and the second radiator, and the current density and current intensity on the first radiator and the second radiator are more balanced. This can reduce the SAR value of the antenna device, reduce the antenna power back-off value, and improve the antenna performance in actual user scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following will refer to the appendices in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 16 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] This application provides an antenna device and an electronic device. The antenna device can realize wireless communication functions. For example, the antenna device can transmit, but is not limited to, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) signals, Global Positioning System (GPS) signals, 3rd Generation (3G), 4th Generation (4G), 5th Generation (5G), Near Field Communication (NFC) signals, Bluetooth (BT) signals, Ultra Wide Band (UWB) signals, etc.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a first structure of the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The antenna device 100 includes a first radiator 110, a second radiator 120, a signal source 130, and a coupling adjustment circuit 140.

[0033] The first radiator 110 includes a first free end 111 and a first ground end 112. The first ground end 112 can be electrically connected to the ground system 150 to achieve grounding. The first free end 111 can be the end or an open-circuit end of the first radiator 110. The first radiator 110 may also include a feed point 113, which can be disposed between the first free end 111 and the first ground end 112, or the feed point 113 can be disposed at the first free end 111 such that the first free end 111 is the feed end of the first radiator 110. A signal source 130 can be directly or indirectly electrically connected to the feed point 113, and the signal source 130 can provide an excitation signal to the first radiator 110. The second radiator 120 includes a second free end 121 and a second ground end 122. The second free end 121 can form a coupling gap 101 with the first free end 111 of the first radiator 110. The second free end 121 can be the end or an open-circuit end of the second radiator 120. The second ground end 122 extends away from the first radiator 110 and is grounded. The first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can form a mouth-to-mouth radiation structure. One end of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 can be directly or indirectly electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 can be directly or indirectly electrically connected to the second radiator 120. The signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly generate a resonant mode and support the transmission and reception of wireless signals (transmission and reception include transmission and reception, which will not be described in detail below). Part of the resonant current formed by this resonant mode can be electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120 through the coupling gap 101, and another part of the resonant current can flow between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through the coupling amount adjustment circuit 140.

[0034] It is understood that electromagnetic coupling, also known as capacitive coupling, refers to the ability of a signal on one radiator to be transmitted to the other radiator through an electric field generated between two radiators, enabling electrical signal conduction even when the two radiators are not in direct contact or directly connected. In the embodiments of this application, a portion of the resonant current generated by the signal source 130 can be capacitively coupled between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120.

[0035] It is understood that both the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can be radiating devices with a conductive structure. The first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can be, but are not limited to, straight strips, bent shapes, or other shapes, and the extending directions of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can be the same or different. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific shape of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120.

[0036] It is understood that the ground system 150 can form a common ground for the antenna device 100 or electronic device. The ground system 150 can be a plane or structure with zero potential. For example, the ground system 150 can be formed through conductors, printed circuits, or metal printed layers in the antenna device 100 or electronic device; for another example, the ground system 150 can be formed on the motherboard, small board, or other carrier board of the electronic device; for yet another example, the ground system 150 can also be formed on the frame of the electronic device (e.g., the middle board 320 mentioned later). The specific location of the ground system 150 is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0037] Understandably, signal source 130 can provide an excitation signal. Signal source 130 can convert high-frequency excitation signals or confined electromagnetic waves into radiated electromagnetic energy to excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to support the transmission of wireless signals. At the same time, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can also capture and confine electromagnetic waves in free space and transmit them to signal source 130 to form a current signal, so that the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can support the reception of wireless signals.

[0038] It is understood that the coupling adjustment circuit 140 can be, but is not limited to, a circuit structure consisting of components such as capacitors, inductors, and switches. For example, the coupling adjustment circuit 140 can be a capacitive load circuit. A capacitive load circuit refers to a load with a capacitance parameter. A capacitive load circuit can be a structure that allows the load current to exceed the phase difference characteristic of its load circuit. A capacitive load circuit can be, but is not limited to, a structure comprising one or more capacitor elements connected in series and in parallel to ground. The coupling adjustment circuit 140 allows the excitation signal provided by the signal source 130 to be coupled to the second radiator 120, so that the coupling adjustment circuit 140 can adjust the coupling degree between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120.

[0039] It is understandable that when the antenna device 100 is not equipped with the coupling adjustment circuit 140, the resonant current generated by the signal source 130 exciting the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can flow on the first radiator 110 and be electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120 through the coupling gap 101 between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, and flow on the second radiator 120. Since the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 share the same signal source 130, the resonant current flows unevenly on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. The current density on one radiator will be greater than the current density on the other radiator. This makes the SAR value of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 higher when supporting wireless signals. This is not only detrimental to the user's health, but may also trigger the power back-off mechanism and affect the radiation performance of the antenna device 100.

[0040] The antenna device 100 of this application embodiment is provided with a coupling adjustment circuit 140. One end of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 is electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 is electrically connected to the second radiator 120. The resonant current generated by the excitation signal provided by the signal source 130 can flow on the first radiator 110 and be electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120 through the coupling gap 101 and flow on the second radiator 120. At the same time, the resonant current can also flow to the second radiator 120 through the coupling adjustment circuit 140. Thus, the resonant current can form at least two flow paths between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through the coupling gap 101 and the coupling adjustment circuit 140. The current distribution of the resonant current on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is more dispersed, and the current density and current intensity on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 are more balanced. This can reduce the SAR value of the antenna device 100, reduce the antenna power back-off value, and improve the antenna performance in actual user scenarios.

[0041] The signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly generate at least one of the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode. Under the action of at least one resonant mode, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can support the transmission and reception of wireless signals.

[0042] It is understandable that the signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to generate a first resonant mode that can form a first resonant current I1, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 1The diagram shows a first current distribution of the antenna device 100. The first resonant current I1 flows from the first ground terminal 112 toward the first free terminal 111 on the first radiator 110, and is electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120, flowing from the second free terminal 121 toward the second ground terminal 122 on the second radiator 120, forming a first current path. The first resonant current I1 flows in the same direction on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, and the first resonant mode can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to produce a current distribution in the same direction. Since one end of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 is electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end is electrically connected to the second radiator 120, part of the first resonant current I1 can also flow between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through the coupling adjustment circuit 140. The coupling adjustment circuit 140 can make the current density of the first resonant current I1 on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 equal, and the distribution of the first resonant current I1 on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is relatively balanced. The current density or electric field strength of the first resonant current I1 on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is equal (including approximately equal), so the SAR value generated by the first resonant mode is low, and the first resonant mode can have better antenna performance.

[0043] It is understandable that the signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to generate a second resonant mode, which can form a second resonant current I2, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 for Figure 1The diagram illustrates a second current distribution in the antenna device 100. The second resonant current I2 can flow from the first ground terminal 112 toward the first free terminal 111 on the first radiator 110, and can be electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120, flowing from the second ground terminal 122 toward the second free terminal 121 on the second radiator 120, forming a second current path. The second resonant current I2 flows in opposite directions on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, and the second resonant mode can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to produce opposite current distributions. Since one end of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 is electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end is electrically connected to the second radiator 120, part of the second resonant current I2 can also flow between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through the coupling adjustment circuit 140. The coupling adjustment circuit 140 can make the current density of the second resonant current I2 on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 equal, and the distribution of the second resonant current I2 on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is relatively balanced. The current density or electric field strength of the second resonant current I2 on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is equal (including approximately equal), so the SAR value generated by the second resonant mode is lower, and the second resonant mode can have better antenna performance.

[0044] It is understood that in the antenna device 100 of this application embodiment, the signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly generate a first resonant mode without generating a second resonant mode; or, the signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly generate a second resonant mode without generating a first resonant mode; or, the signal source 130 can also excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to simultaneously generate a first resonant mode and a second resonant mode, that is, a first resonant current I1 and a second resonant current I2 can simultaneously exist on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, and the first resonant current I1 can flow along... Figure 2 The current path shown flows along the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, and the second resonant current I2 can flow along... Figure 3 The current path shown flows over the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120.

[0045] It is understandable that when the signal source 130 excites the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to simultaneously generate the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode, the center frequency of the first resonant mode is different from the center frequency of the second resonant mode, so that the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can support wireless signals of different frequency bands or support the transmission and reception of wireless signals with a wider frequency band under the combined action of the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode.

[0046] For example, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an S11 parameter curve of the antenna device 100 shown is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can jointly generate a first resonant mode P1 and a second resonant mode P2. The center frequency of the first resonant mode P1 can be lower than the center frequency of the second resonant mode P2. The first resonant mode P1 can, but is not limited to, cover the uplink signal frequency of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, and the second resonant mode P2 can, but is not limited to, cover the downlink signal frequency of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. Thus, the first resonant mode P1 and the second resonant mode P2 can jointly cover a relatively wide frequency band of wireless signals. Among them, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can cover the mid-to-high frequency band under the action of the first resonant mode P1 and the second resonant mode P2; of course, the first resonant mode P1 and the second resonant mode P2 can also cover other frequency bands, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0047] It is understandable that the wireless signal corresponding to the first resonant mode P1 can also be a wireless signal in a different frequency band than the wireless signal corresponding to the second resonant mode P2. The two wireless signals can be spaced apart or partially intersect each other in the spectrum and have different center frequencies. For example, in the first resonant mode, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can support wireless signals in the B3 frequency band; in the second resonant mode, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can support wireless signals in the B1 frequency band. Thus, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can support wireless signals in two frequency bands, making the antenna device 100 applicable to a wider range of scenarios.

[0048] It is understood that when the signal source 130 excites the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to generate a first resonant mode or a second resonant mode, the wireless signals corresponding to the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode can be the same wireless signal (at this time, the antenna device 100 can support the same wireless signal with different resonant modes) or different wireless signals (at this time, the antenna device 100 can support different wireless signals with different resonant modes). This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0049] It should be noted that the above is only an exemplary description of the wireless signals supported by the first resonance mode and the second resonance mode. The first resonance mode and the second resonance mode can also support other wireless signals, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0050] Please refer to the following: Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of a second structure of the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The diagram shows a first type of current distribution for the antenna device 100. Figure 7 for Figure 5 The diagram shows a second current distribution of the antenna device 100. When the antenna device 100 does not have a coupling adjustment circuit 140, the signal source 130 can also excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to simultaneously generate a first resonant mode and a second resonant mode, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the first resonant current I1 generated by the first resonant mode flows from the first ground terminal 112 toward the first free terminal 111 on the first radiator 110, and can be electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120, flowing from the second free terminal 121 toward the second ground terminal 122 on the second radiator 120. Since the antenna device 100 does not have a coupling adjustment circuit 140, the first resonant current I1 cannot flow between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through the coupling adjustment circuit 140, thus... Figure 6 In the antenna device 100 shown, in the first resonant mode, the current density of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 is greater than its current density distributed on the second radiator 120, so that in the first resonant mode, the first radiator 110, as the main radiating branch, and the second radiator 120, as the auxiliary radiating branch, jointly support the transmission and reception of wireless signals. Figure 7 As shown, the second resonant current I2 generated by the second resonant mode flows from the first ground terminal 112 toward the first free terminal 111 on the first radiator 110, and can be electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120, flowing from the second ground terminal 122 toward the second free terminal 121 on the second radiator 120. Since the antenna device 100 does not have a coupling adjustment circuit 140, the second resonant current I2 cannot flow between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through the coupling adjustment circuit 140, thus... Figure 7 In the antenna device 100 shown, in the second resonance mode, the current density of the second resonant current I2 distributed on the second radiator 120 is greater than the current density distributed on the first radiator 110, so that in the second resonance mode, the second radiator 120, as the main radiating branch, and the first radiator 110, as the auxiliary radiating branch, jointly support the transmission and reception of wireless signals.

[0051] Understandably, in comparison Figure 2 and Figure 6As can be seen, the antenna device 100 of this application embodiment is provided with a coupling adjustment circuit 140. The first resonant current I1, which has a large current distribution density on the first radiator 110, can flow to the second radiator 120 through the coupling adjustment circuit 140. The area with the largest current density on the first radiator 110 can be dispersed to other areas (e.g., other areas of the first radiator 110 or the second radiator 120). The current density of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is more balanced, the SAR value generated by the first resonant mode is lower, and the antenna performance of the first resonant mode is better. For example, when the first resonant mode covers the uplink signal of the wireless signal, the uplink transmission performance of the antenna device 100 provided with the coupling adjustment circuit 140 of this application is better.

[0052] Understandably, in comparison Figure 3 and Figure 7 As can be seen, the antenna device 100 of this application embodiment is provided with a coupling adjustment circuit 140. The second resonant current I2, which has a large current distribution density on the second radiator 120, can flow to the first radiator 110 through the coupling adjustment circuit 140. The area with the largest current density on the second radiator 120 can be dispersed to other areas (e.g., other areas of the second radiator 120 or the first radiator 110). The current density of the second resonant current I2 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is more balanced, resulting in a lower SAR value generated by the second resonant mode and superior antenna performance in the second resonant mode. For example, when the second resonant mode covers the downlink signal of the wireless signal, the antenna device 100 with the coupling adjustment circuit 140 of this application has superior downlink reception performance.

[0053] It should be noted that the coupling adjustment circuit 140 has virtually no impact on the frequency of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 under the first and second resonant modes. In other words, when the coupling adjustment circuit 140 is not provided, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can support wireless signals in a certain frequency band, such as the mid-to-high frequency band, under the first and second resonant modes; when the antenna device 100 is equipped with the coupling adjustment circuit 140, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can still support wireless signals in that frequency band, such as the mid-to-high frequency band, under the first and second resonant modes.

[0054] The antenna device 100 of this application embodiment is provided with a coupling adjustment circuit 140. The resonant current generated by the excitation signal provided by the signal source 130 can form at least two flow paths between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. The current distribution of the resonant current on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is more dispersed, and the current density and current intensity on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 are more balanced. This can reduce the SAR value of the antenna device 100, reduce the antenna power back-off value, and improve the antenna performance in actual user scenarios.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a third structure of the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. The coupling adjustment circuit 140 may include at least one of the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142.

[0056] One end of the first circuit 141 can be directly or indirectly connected to the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of the first circuit 141 can be directly or indirectly connected to the second radiator 120. The first circuit 141 can make the first resonant current I1 flow along the first circuit 141 between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120.

[0057] One end of the second circuit 142 can be directly or indirectly connected to the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of the second circuit 142 can be directly or indirectly connected to the second radiator 120. The second circuit 142 can make the second resonant current I2 flow along the second circuit 142 between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120.

[0058] It is understood that without the coupling adjustment circuit 140, the current density of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 is greater than its current density distributed on the second radiator 120. The first circuit 141 allows a portion of the first resonant current I1 to flow from the first radiator 110 to the second radiator 120 along the first circuit 141, thereby balancing the current densities of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. For example, the first circuit 141 can make the current densities of the first resonant current I1 equal on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. It should be noted that this equality may include approximate equality. In the current simulation diagram, any scheme in which the first circuit 141 makes the current distribution color and / or density of the first radiator 110 similar to the current distribution color and / or density of the second radiator 120 is within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0059] It is understood that without the coupling adjustment circuit 140, the current density of the second resonant current I2 distributed on the second radiator 120 is greater than its current density distributed on the first radiator 110. The second circuit 142 allows a portion of the second resonant current I2 to flow from the second radiator 120 to the first radiator 110 along the second circuit 142, thereby balancing the current densities of the second resonant current I2 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. For example, the second circuit 142 can make the current densities of the second resonant current I2 equal on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. It should be noted that this equality may include approximate equality. In the current simulation diagram, any scheme of the second circuit 142 that makes the current distribution color and / or density of the first radiator 110 similar to that of the second radiator 120 is within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0060] Understandably, when the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 generate a first resonant mode but not a second resonant mode, the antenna device 100 or electronic device can electrically connect one end of the first circuit 141 between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of the first circuit 141 to the second radiator 120. The first circuit 141 can make the current density of the first resonant current I1 equal in the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, thereby making the SAR value lower in the first resonant mode. At this time, the antenna device 100 may only include the first circuit 141 and not the second circuit 142, or the antenna device 100 may include the second circuit 142 but the second circuit 142 may not be operational. For example, the two ends of the second circuit 142 may not be connected to the area between the second radiator 120 and the signal source 130 and the feed point 113.

[0061] Understandably, when the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 generate a second resonant mode but not a first resonant mode, the antenna device 100 or electronic device can electrically connect one end of the second circuit 142 between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of the second circuit 142 to the second radiator 120. The second circuit 142 can make the current density of the second resonant current I2 equal on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, thereby making the SAR value lower in the second resonant mode. At this time, the antenna device 100 may include only the second circuit 142 and not the first circuit 141, or the antenna device 100 may include the first circuit 141 but the first circuit 141 may not be operational. For example, the two ends of the first circuit 141 may not be connected to the area between the second radiator 120 and the signal source 130 and the feed point 113.

[0062] It is understandable that when the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 simultaneously generate the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode, the antenna device 100 or electronic device can control one of the circuits in the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142 to operate so as to achieve a lower SAR value by evenly distributing the resonant current in one resonant mode between the two radiators. Alternatively, the antenna device 100 or electronic device can control the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142 to operate in a time-division multiplexing manner (which uses different time periods of the same physical connection to transmit different signals) so that the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode can operate in a time-division manner, thereby achieving a lower SAR value in a time-division manner.

[0063] It is understandable that, such as Figure 8 As shown, the coupling adjustment circuit 140 may further include a control switch 143. The input terminal a1 of the control switch 143 can be electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113. The first output terminal b1 of the control switch 143 can be electrically connected to the first circuit 141, and the second output terminal b2 of the control switch 143 can be electrically connected to the second circuit 142. The control switch 143 can control the input terminal a1 and the first output terminal b1 to conduct, so that one end of the first circuit 141 can be electrically connected to the signal source 130 and the feed point 113. The first circuit 141 can then enable the first resonant mode to have a lower SAR value. Alternatively, the control switch 143 can also control the input terminal a1 and the second output terminal b2 to conduct, so that one end of the second circuit 142 can be electrically connected to the signal source 130 and the feed point 113. The second circuit 142 can then enable the second resonant mode to have a lower SAR value.

[0064] It is understandable that when the signal source 130 excites the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly generate the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode, and the center frequency of the wireless signal supported by the first resonant mode is lower than the center frequency of the wireless signal supported by the second resonant mode, the coupling variable generated by the first circuit 141 for the first resonant mode may be different from the coupling variable generated by the second circuit 142 for the second resonant mode. For example, the equivalent capacitance value of the first circuit 141 can be greater than that of the second circuit 142. Under the action of the first circuit 141 with a larger equivalent capacitance value, the current density of the first resonant current I1 of the first resonant mode with a lower center frequency is more evenly distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. Under the action of the second circuit 142 with a smaller equivalent capacitance value, the current density of the second resonant current I2 of the second resonant mode with a higher center frequency is also more evenly distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. Thus, when the wireless signal supported by the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode covers a wider frequency band, the coupling adjustment circuit 140 of this application embodiment can make the SAR value of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 smaller across the entire frequency band, thereby improving the antenna performance of the antenna device 100 when supporting the wireless signal.

[0065] It is understandable that when the wireless signal supported by the first resonant mode covers the uplink signal band of a certain frequency band, and the wireless signal supported by the second resonant mode covers the downlink signal band of that frequency band, considering that SAR value detection generally occurs in scenarios where the antenna device 100 transmits signals outward, the coupling adjustment circuit 140 in actual scenarios may include the first circuit 141 but not the second circuit 142. Of course, in other application scenarios, the coupling adjustment circuit 140 may also include the second circuit 142, or simultaneously include the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142. For example, when the wireless signal supported by the first resonant mode and the wireless signal supported by the second resonant mode cover two different frequency bands, the coupling adjustment circuit 140 may simultaneously include the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142. The antenna device 100 or electronic device may control the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142 to operate in a time-division multiplexing manner, thereby enabling the first resonant mode and the second resonant mode to have lower SAR values ​​in a time-division multiplexing manner. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific structure of the coupling adjustment circuit 140.

[0066] In this regard, please combine Figure 8 Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a fourth structure of the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. The first circuit 141 of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 may include a switching switch 1411, a first branch 1412, and at least one second branch 1413.

[0067] The switch 1411 may include one or more (two or more, hereinafter not described in detail) input terminals and multiple output terminals. One end of the switch 1411, such as the input terminal, may be directly or indirectly electrically connected to the second radiator 120. One end of the first branch 1412 may be directly or indirectly electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of the first branch 1412 may be directly or indirectly electrically connected between the switch 1411 (e.g., the input terminal of the switch 1411) and the second radiator 120. The first branch 1412 may form a current path between the signal source 130 and the second radiator 120. One end of each second branch 1413 may be directly or indirectly electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of each second branch 1413 may be directly or indirectly electrically connected to one output terminal of the switch 1411.

[0068] It is understood that the first branch 1412 and at least one second branch 1413 may be, but are not limited to, a matching circuit structure, and the switch 1411 can switch between different matching circuit structures. The first branch 1412 and at least one second branch 1413 may include, but are not limited to, capacitive elements. For example, the first branch 1412 may include a first capacitor, and the second branch 1413 may include a second capacitor. Of course, the first branch 1412 and the second branch 1413 may also have other structures, such as, but not limited to, a wire structure. This application does not limit this aspect.

[0069] Understandably, the switch 1411 can connect at least one end of the second branch 1413 to the second radiator 120, thereby forming at least one current path through the switch 1411 between the signal source 130 and the second radiator 120. Conversely, the switch 1411 can also disconnect the other end of at least one second branch 1413 from the second radiator 120, thus breaking the current path through the switch 1411 between the signal source 130 and the second radiator 120.

[0070] It is understood that the switching switch 1411 may be, but is not limited to, a single-pole multi-throw switch, a multi-pole multi-throw switch, or multiple single-pole single-throw switches. The specific structure of the switching switch 1411 is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0071] It is understood that regardless of whether the switch 1411 is in the ON or OFF state, the first branch 1412 can be electrically connected to the signal source 130 and the second radiator 120, and the first circuit 141 can increase the coupling between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through the first branch 1412. When the switch 1411 switches between the ON and OFF states, the first circuit 141 can further adjust the coupling between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 by controlling the state of the second branch 1413.

[0072] It is understandable that when the frequencies of the wireless signals jointly supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 are different, the current distribution of the first resonant current I1 on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 will also be different, and the SAR values ​​generated by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 will also be different. In order to obtain the optimal SAR value (i.e. the lowest SAR value at this frequency), the switching switch 1411 has different switching states. By selecting the conduction state of at least one second branch 1413, the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is adjusted, so that under the adjustment of the first circuit 141, the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 at the current frequency is in the optimal range, and the current density of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is more balanced, so that the antenna device 100 can have a lower SAR value at this frequency.

[0073] The first circuit 141 of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 in this embodiment includes a first branch 1412 and at least one second branch 1413. The first branch 1412 can be electrically connected to the signal source 130 and the second radiator 120. The second branch 1413 can be electrically connected to or disconnected from the second radiator 120 under the control of the switching switch 1411. Thus, the first circuit 141 in this embodiment can adjust the coupling of the antenna device 100 in different ways, which can ensure that the antenna device 100 has a low SAR value in each frequency band.

[0074] In this regard, please combine Figure 8 Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a fifth structural schematic diagram of the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. The first circuit 141 of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 may include a switching switch 1411 and a plurality of second branches 1413 but does not include the first branch 1412.

[0075] The switching switch 1411 may include one or more input terminals and multiple output terminals. One end of the switching switch 1411, such as an input terminal, may be directly or indirectly electrically connected to the second radiator 120. One end of each second branch 1413 may be directly or indirectly electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the feed point 113, and the other end of each second branch 1413 may be directly or indirectly electrically connected to one output terminal of the switching switch 1411. The switching switch 1411 is used to connect or disconnect the electrical connection between the other end of at least one second branch 1413 and the second radiator 120.

[0076] It is understandable that the equivalent capacitance values ​​of the multiple second branches 1413 may be different. The switching switch 1411 can select different second branches 1413 to be connected to or disconnected from the second radiator 120, so that the first circuit 141 can generate different coupling amounts to the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. Under the adjustment of the first circuit 141, the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 at the current frequency is in the optimal range, and the current density of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is more balanced, so that the antenna device 100 can have a lower SAR value performance at this frequency.

[0077] It should be noted that the above is merely an exemplary description of the structure of the first circuit 141 in this application embodiment. The first circuit 141 may also have other structures, such as, but not limited to, the first circuit 141 may not include the switching switch 1411, and the first branch 1412 and at least one second branch 1413 may be circuit structures that achieve conduction or disconnection by adjusting parameters. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first circuit 141.

[0078] Please refer to the following: Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a sixth structural schematic diagram of the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The antenna device 100 may further include a first switching circuit 160. The first circuit 141 may share some structures with the first switching circuit 160.

[0079] One end of the first switching circuit 160 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the second radiator 120, and the other end of the first switching circuit 160 is electrically connected to the ground system 150 to achieve grounding. Under the action of the first switching circuit 160, the signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly support wireless signals of different frequency bands.

[0080] like Figure 11As shown, the first switching circuit 160 may include a switching switch 1411 of the first circuit 141 and at least one switching branch 161. One end of the switching switch 1411 (e.g., the input end) may be electrically connected to the second radiator 120. One end of each switching branch 161 may be electrically connected to the switching switch 1411 (e.g., one output end of the switching switch 1411). The other end of each switching branch 161 may be electrically connected to the ground system 150 to achieve grounding.

[0081] It is understood that the switching switch 1411 may include multiple output terminals, such as one or more first output terminals and one or more second output terminals. Each second branch 1413 may be electrically connected to a first output terminal, and each switching branch 161 may be electrically connected to a second output terminal. Thus, part of the first circuit 141 may be integrated into the first switching circuit 160. The first circuit 141 and the first switching circuit 160 may share some structures, which can further simplify the structure of the antenna device 100.

[0082] It is understood that the multiple switching branches 161 can be, but are not limited to, a matching circuit structure, and the inductive and capacitive load values ​​of the multiple switching branches 161 can be different. This allows the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to have different electrical lengths and thus support different frequency bands of wireless signals when the switching switch 1411 selects to conduct different switching branches 161. Electrical length refers to the equivalent length of the radiating structure when radiating signals, or the equivalent length required for electromagnetic wave transmission in the radiating structure. The electrical length of the radiating structure can be greater than, less than, or equal to its branch length. The electrical length of the radiating structure can be related to the frequency it supports. When the electrical length of the radiating structure is longer, it can support lower frequency wireless signals; when the electrical length of the radiating structure is shorter, it can support higher frequency wireless signals. The electrical length of the radiating structure can be changed by electrically connecting circuits with different impedances.

[0083] Understandably, the switching switch 1411 can connect or disconnect at least one switching branch 161 from the electrical connection of the second radiator 120, so that the signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly support wireless signals of different frequency bands.

[0084] Understandably, the switching switch 1411 can also adaptively select to turn on or off the electrical connection between the other end of at least one second branch 1413 and the second radiator 120 according to the frequency band of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, so that when the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 operate in different frequency bands, the first circuit 141 can make the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 be in the optimal range, the current density of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is basically equal, and the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 supporting different frequency bands can have the best coupling amount.

[0085] For example, when the switching switch 1411 selects to conduct at least one switching branch 161 to electrically connect with the second radiator 120 so that the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 support wireless signals of the first frequency band, the switching switch 1411 can also conduct the other end of at least one second branch 1413 to electrically connect with the second radiator 120 so that the first circuit 141 has a first equivalent capacitance value. At this time, under the adjustment of the first circuit 141, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 have a better coupling amount, and the SAR value of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 when supporting wireless signals of the first frequency band is also lower. When the switching switch 1411 selects to conduct at least one other switching branch 161 to electrically connect with the second radiator 120 so that the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 support the second frequency band wireless signal, the switching switch 1411 can also conduct the other end of at least one other second branch 1413 to electrically connect with the second radiator 120 so that the first circuit 141 has a second equivalent capacitance value. At this time, under the adjustment of the first circuit 141, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 also have a better coupling amount, and the SAR value of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 when supporting the second frequency band wireless signal is also lower.

[0086] It is understandable that when the first frequency band supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is higher than the second frequency band, the switching switch 1411 can switch between different second branches 1413, so that the first equivalent capacitance value of the first circuit 141 when supporting the first frequency band wireless signal is less than the second equivalent capacitance value when supporting the second frequency band wireless signal. For example, when the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 support wireless signals in the B1 band (1920MHz-2170MHz) or the B3 band (1710MHz-1880MHz), the switch 1411 activates at least one second branch 1413 so that the first equivalent capacitance value of the first circuit 141 can be 0.5pF (picofarad); when the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 support wireless signals in the higher frequency B41 band (2496MHz-2690MHz), the switch 1411 activates at least another second branch 1413 so that the second equivalent capacitance value of the first circuit 141 can be 0.3pF.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first switching circuit 160 and the first circuit 141 share a switching switch 1411. Part of the structure of the first circuit 141 can be integrated into the first switching circuit 160, which can simplify the structure of the antenna device 100 and realize the miniaturization design of the antenna device 100. At the same time, the switching switch 1411 can adaptively select to turn on or off the electrical connection between the other end of at least one second branch 1413 and the second radiator 120 according to the frequency band of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120, which can ensure that the antenna device 100 can obtain a low SAR value in each frequency band.

[0088] It should be noted that the first switching circuit 160 in this embodiment may not share the switching switch 1411 with the first circuit 141. That is, the first flower-cutting circuit and the first circuit 141 can be independent structures. For example, please refer to... Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is a seventh structural schematic diagram of the antenna device 100 provided in this application embodiment. The first switching circuit 160 and the first circuit 141 can be electrically connected to different regions of the second radiator 120. The first switching circuit 160 and the first circuit 141 can be independent of each other without reusing any structure. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first switching circuit 160 and the first circuit 141.

[0089] It should be noted that the second circuit 142 of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 may also include a switching switch, a first branch, and at least one second branch, just like the first circuit 141; the second circuit 142 may also reuse part of the structure with the first switching circuit 160, or be separate from the first switching circuit 160, just like the first circuit 141. Of course, the second circuit 142 may further reuse part of the structure with the first circuit 141 and the first switching circuit 160 to further simplify the structure of the antenna device 100. For an example, please refer to... Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is an eighth structural schematic diagram of the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The first switching circuit 160 may include a switching switch 1411, at least one switching branch 161, a first branch 1412, at least one second branch 1413, and at least one third branch 162.

[0090] One end of the switching switch 1411, such as the input end, can be electrically connected to the second radiator 120. One end of each switching branch 161 can be electrically connected to one output end of the switching switch 1411. The other end of each second branch 1413 can be grounded. One end of the first branch 1412 can be electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the first radiator 110. The other end of the first branch 1412 can be electrically connected between the switching switch 1411 and the second radiator 120. One end of each second branch 1413 can be electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the first radiator 110. The other end of each second branch 1413 can be electrically connected to one output end of the switching switch 1411. One end of each third branch 162 can be electrically connected between the signal source 130 and the first radiator 110. The other end of each third branch 162 can be electrically connected to one output end of the switching switch 1411.

[0091] Understandably, the switching switch 1411 can connect or disconnect at least one switching branch 161 from the electrical connection of the second radiator 120, so that the signal source 130 can excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly support wireless signals of different frequency bands.

[0092] Understandably, the switching switch 1411 can also adaptively select to turn on or off the electrical connection between the other end of at least one second branch 1413 and the second radiator 120 according to the frequency band of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. The first circuit 141 can adjust the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through at least one second branch 1413 and the first branch 1412. When the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 operate in different frequency bands, the first circuit 141 can make the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 be in the optimal range. The current density of the first resonant current I1 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is basically equal, and the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 supporting different frequency bands can have the optimal coupling amount.

[0093] Understandably, the switching switch 1411 can also adaptively select to turn on or off the electrical connection between the other end of at least one third branch 162 and the second radiator 120 according to the frequency band of the wireless signal supported by the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120. The first circuit 141 can adjust the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 through at least one third branch 162 and the first branch 1412. When the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 operate in different frequency bands, the first circuit 141 can make the coupling amount of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 be in the optimal range. The current density of the second resonant current I2 distributed on the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 is basically equal. The first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 supporting different frequency bands can also have the optimal coupling amount.

[0094] It is understood that the first branch 1412, the second branch 1413, and the third branch 162 can be, but are not limited to, a matching circuit structure. For example, the first branch 1412, the second branch 1413, and the third branch 162 can be capacitors with different capacitance values, so that when the switching circuit switches between different branches, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can have different coupling amounts.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first circuit 141 and the second circuit 142 of the coupling adjustment circuit 140 are integrated into the first switching circuit 160, which can further improve the integration of the antenna device 100 and enable the antenna device 100 to be further miniaturized.

[0096] It should be noted that the above is only an exemplary description of the structure of the first circuit 141, the second circuit 142, and the first switching circuit 160 of the coupling amount adjustment circuit 140 in this application embodiment. The first circuit 141, the second circuit 142, and the first switching circuit 160 in this application embodiment may also have other structures, and this application embodiment does not limit them.

[0097] In this regard, please combine Figures 1 to 13 Please refer to Figure 14 , Figure 14 This is a ninth structural schematic diagram of the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application. The antenna device 100 may further include a second switching circuit 170.

[0098] One end of the second switching circuit 170 can be directly or indirectly electrically connected to the first radiator 110, and the other end of the second switching circuit 170 can be electrically connected to the ground system 150 to achieve grounding. Under the action of the second switching circuit 170, the signal source 130 is used to excite the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 to jointly support wireless signals of different frequency bands.

[0099] It is understood that the second switching circuit 170 may include a switching element and multiple (two or more) switching branches. The switching element can connect or disconnect one end of at least one switching branch from the electrical connection with the first radiator 110.
