[0003] However, due to the limitation of the internal space of electronic devices, the GPS antennas of electronic devices in related technologies have problems such as low efficiency and low upper hemisphere occupancy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a GPS antenna solution with better performance. Summary of the invention

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

[0006] A first radiator, comprising a first free end, a first feeding point and a first grounding end, wherein the first grounding end is grounded, and a distance between the first feeding point and the first free end is less than or equal to one fifth of a branch length between the first free end and the first grounding end;

[0007] A first feed source, electrically connected to the first feeding point, the first feed source is used to excite the first radiator to generate a first resonance mode and form a first resonance current, the first resonance mode is used to support GPS signals;

[0008] A filter circuit, electrically connected between the first feed source and the first feed point;

[0009] A second radiator includes a second free end, a second feeding point, 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; and

[0010] A second feed source is electrically connected to the second feed point, and the second feed source is used to excite the second radiator to form a second resonant current; wherein,

[0032] The following will be combined with the attached examples of the present application Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.17 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application provide an antenna device and an electronic device. The antenna device can realize a wireless communication function. For example, the antenna device can transmit, but is not limited to, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) signals, Global Positioning System (GPS) signals, third-generation mobile communication technology (3rd-Generation, 3G), fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4th-Generation, 4G), fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation, 5G), near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth (BT), ultra-wideband (UWB) signals, etc.

[0034] Among them, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a first structural schematic diagram of an antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The antenna device 100 includes a first radiator 110 , a second radiator 120 , a first feed source 130 , a second feed source 140 and a filter circuit 150 .

[0035] The first radiator 110 includes a first free end 111, a first feeding point 112 and a first grounding end 113. The first grounding end 113 can be electrically connected to the ground system 170 to achieve grounding. The first free end 111 can be the end or an open end of the first radiator 110. The first feeding point 112 can be arranged near the first free end 111. The second radiator 120 includes a second free end 121, a second feeding point 122 and a second grounding end 123. The second free end 121 can be the end or an open end of the second radiator 120. The second grounding end 123 can be electrically connected to the ground system 170 to achieve grounding. A coupling gap is formed between the second free end 121 and the first free end 111. The second grounding end 123 extends in a direction 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. The first feed source 130 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the first feed point 112. The first feed source 130 can provide a first excitation signal and excite the first radiator 110 to generate a first resonance mode and form a first resonance current. The first resonance mode is used to support GPS signals. The first feed source 130 and the first radiator 110 can form a first antenna and support GPS signals. The second feed source 140 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the second feed point 122. The second feed source 140 can provide a second excitation signal and excite the second radiator 120 to generate a second resonance mode and form a second resonance current. The second resonance mode can support wireless signals such as but not limited to medium and high frequency wireless signals. The second feed source 140 and the second radiator 120 can form a second antenna and receive and transmit wireless signals. Among them, the filter circuit 150 is directly or indirectly electrically connected between the first feed source 130 and the first feed point 112. The second resonance current is used to electromagnetically couple to the first radiator 110 and return to the ground through the filter circuit 150.

[0036] It can be understood that electromagnetic coupling is also called capacitive coupling, which means that when an electric field is generated between two radiators, the signal on one radiator can be transmitted to the other radiator through the electric field, so that the two radiators can also achieve electrical signal conduction without direct contact or direct connection. In the embodiment of the present application, the second resonant current generated by the excitation of the second feed source 140 can be capacitively coupled between the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 and returned to the ground through the filter circuit 150.

[0037] It is understandable that both the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can be radiating devices with conductor structures. The first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can be, but are not limited to, straight strips, bends, or other shapes, and the extension directions of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 can be the same or different. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific shapes of the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120.

[0038] It can be understood that the ground system 170 can form a common ground for the antenna device 100 or the electronic device. The ground system 170 can be a plane or structure with zero electric potential. For example, the ground system 170 can be formed by a conductor, a printed circuit, or a metal printed layer in the antenna device 100 or the electronic device; for another example, the ground system 170 can be formed on a main board, a small board, or other supporting board of the antenna device 100 or the electronic device; for another example, the ground system 170 can also be formed on the frame of the antenna device 100 or the electronic device (such as the middle plate 320 described later). The specific setting position of the ground system 170 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0039] It can be understood that the filter circuit 150 can be, but is not limited to, a circuit structure formed by an indefinite number of capacitors, inductors, switches and other components. The filter circuit 150 can block the resonant current of a specific frequency from passing through and allow the resonant current of other frequencies to pass through. In the embodiment of the present application, the second resonant current can be electromagnetically coupled to the first radiator 110 and return to the ground through the filter circuit 150. The second resonant current can avoid flowing on the first radiator 110 and affecting the performance of the first radiator 110; at the same time, the second resonant current returning to the ground through the filter circuit 150 is not easy to flow to the first feed source 130 and affect the performance of the first feed source 130; thus, under the action of the filter circuit 150, the second resonant current has less interference on the first radiator 110 and the first feed source 130, and the first antenna formed by the first radiator 110 and the first feed source 130 has better GPS performance when supporting GPS signals. It should be noted that the first resonant current formed by the excitation of the first feed source 130 can still pass through the filter circuit 150 and flow to the first radiator 110, that is, the first resonant current does not return to the ground through the filter circuit 150.

[0040] It is understandable that if Figure 1As shown, when the first feeding point 112 of the first radiator 110 is arranged near the first free end 111, the second resonant current has less interference on the first radiator 110. Here, "arranged near the first free end 111" means that the distance between the first feeding point 112 and the first free end 111 is less than or equal to one-fifth of the length of the branch between the first free end 111 and the first ground end 113 of the first radiator 110. Optionally, the first feeding point 112 can be arranged at the first free end 111. At this time, the first feeding point 112 is closer to the first free end 111. When the second resonant current returns to the ground through the filter circuit 150, the flow area of ​​the second resonant current on the first radiator 110 is smaller, which can further reduce the interference of the second resonant current on the first antenna. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the second feeding point 122 of the second radiator 120 may also be arranged near the second free end 121. For example, the distance between the second feeding point 122 and the second free end 121 may be less than or equal to one third of the length of the branch between the second free end 121 and the second ground end 123 of the second radiator 120. The specific structure of the second radiator 120 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0041] Among them, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of current distribution when the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is not provided with the filter circuit 150, Figure 3 The S parameter curve and isolation curve of the first antenna and the second antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is not provided with the filter circuit 150. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1( a ), when the antenna device 100 is not provided with the filter circuit 150 , the first resonant current I1 formed by the excitation of the first feed source 130 can be electromagnetically coupled from the first radiator 110 to the second radiator 120 through the coupling gap and flow on the second radiator 120 ; Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1( b ), when the antenna device 100 is not provided with the filter circuit 150 , the second resonant current I2 excited by the second feed source 140 can be electromagnetically coupled from the second radiator 120 to the first radiator 110 through the coupling gap and flow on the first radiator 110 . Figure 3 The middle curve S1 is an S parameter curve of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is not provided with the filter circuit 150, the curve S2 is an S parameter curve of the second antenna when the antenna device 100 is not provided with the filter circuit 150, and the curve S3 is an isolation curve of the first antenna and the second antenna when the antenna device 100 is not provided with the filter circuit 150. By comparing the curves S1 to S3, it can be seen that when the antenna device 100 is not provided with the filter circuit 150, the first antenna and the second antenna are coupled to each other, and the isolation between the two is -2dB. At this time, the first antenna and the second antenna have poor isolation characteristics.

[0042] For comparison, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of current distribution when the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided with a filter circuit 150, Figure 5 The S parameter curve and isolation curve of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with the filter circuit 150 are shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, when the antenna device 100 is provided with a filter circuit 150 and the first feeding point 112 is provided near the first free end 111, the second resonant current I2 on the second radiator 120 can be returned to the ground through the filter circuit 150, so that the second resonant current I2 basically does not pass through the first radiator 110, which can reduce the impact of the second resonant current I2 on the performance of the first radiator 110. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The middle curve S4 and curve S5 are respectively the S parameter curve and isolation curve of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is provided with a filter circuit 150 and the first feeding point 112 is provided near the first free end 111. By comparing the curves S1 to S5, it can be seen that when the antenna device 100 is provided with a filter circuit 150 and the first feeding point 112 is provided near the first free end 111, the second resonant current on the second radiator 120 has little effect on the first radiator 110. At this time, the isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna is less than -11dB, and the isolation between the first antenna and the second antenna is good.

[0043] In the antenna device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 form a mouth-to-mouth antenna radiation structure. The second resonant current generated by the second radiator 120 excited by the second feed source 140 can be returned to the ground through the filter circuit 150. When the first feeding point 112 is arranged near the first free end 111 and the filter circuit 150 is electrically connected between the first feeding point 112 and the first feed source 130, the second resonant current returned to the ground through the filter circuit 150 basically does not pass through the first radiator 110, so that the second resonant current is not easy to interfere with the first radiator 110, the first antenna is less interfered when supporting the GPS signal, and the GPS performance of the first antenna is better.

[0044] Among them, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 The second structural diagram of the antenna device provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The antenna device 100 may further include a capacitive load circuit 160 .

[0045] The capacitive load circuit 160 is directly or indirectly electrically connected between the filter circuit 150 and the first feed point 112. The capacitive load circuit 160 refers to a circuit or structure that can prevent a specific current from flowing, but the specific current is ahead of the voltage. The capacitive load circuit 160 may include one or more capacitor elements. The capacitive load circuit 160 and the filter circuit 150 may jointly block the first resonant current from being electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120. The capacitive load circuit 160 may also tune the first resonant current to further improve the antenna performance when the first antenna supports GPS signals.

[0046] Understandably, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of current distribution of the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 is shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, when the antenna device 100 includes the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 at the same time, the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 can block the first resonant current I1 from being electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120, which can not only reduce the interference of the first resonant current I1 on the second radiator 120, but also make the antenna efficiency of the GPS signal supported by the first radiator 110 better under the excitation of more first resonant current I1.

[0047] Understandably, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , Figure 8 A schematic diagram comparing S parameter curves of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided with a filter circuit 150 but not a capacitive load circuit 160 and when the antenna device 100 is provided with both the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 . Fig. 9 A schematic diagram comparing the antenna efficiencies of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided with a filter circuit 150 but not a capacitive load circuit 160 and when the antenna device 100 is provided with both the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 . Figure 8 The middle curve S6 and Fig. 9 The middle curve S8 is respectively an S parameter curve and an antenna efficiency curve of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 but without the capacitive load circuit 160. Figure 8 Curve S7 and Fig. 9The curve S9 in FIG. 1 is respectively an S parameter curve and an antenna efficiency curve of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 . By comparing curves S6 to S9, it can be seen that when the antenna device 100 is provided with a filter circuit 150 and a capacitive load circuit 160 at the same time, the second resonant current of the second radiator 120 can be returned to the ground through the filter circuit 150 without passing through the first radiator 110, which can reduce the performance impact of the second antenna on the first antenna. At the same time, the capacitive load circuit 160 is connected in series between the filter circuit 150 and the first radiator 110, and the capacitive load circuit 160 can perform impedance tuning on the first resonant current. At the same time, the capacitive load circuit 160 and the filter circuit 150 can jointly block the first resonant current from flowing to the second radiator 120. Therefore, at this time, under the action of the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160, the GPS signal supported by the first antenna can have a wider bandwidth, and the antenna efficiency of the first antenna is improved by 3-4dB compared with the antenna efficiency when only the filter circuit 150 is provided without the capacitive load circuit 160, and the first antenna has a higher radiation efficiency and a wider bandwidth.

[0048] Also, please refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 , Fig.10 A schematic diagram of the front-to-back ratio of the radiation direction of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with the filter circuit 150 but not with the capacitive load circuit 160, Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the front-to-back ratio of the radiation direction of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a filter circuit 150 and a capacitive load circuit 160. Fig.10 The middle curve S10 is the front-to-back ratio curve of the radiation direction of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 but not the capacitive load circuit 160, and the curve S11 is the front-to-back ratio curve of the radiation direction of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160. It can be seen from the curve S10 that the front-to-back ratio of the radiation direction of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 but not the capacitive load circuit 160 is 9.4dB; it can be seen from the curve S11 that the front-to-back ratio of the radiation direction of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 is 8.6dB. After the antenna device 100 of the present application is provided with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160, the front-to-back ratio of the first antenna is as small as 8.6dB, the radiation directivity of the first antenna is weakened, and the coverage of the first antenna is more uniform.

[0049] Also, please refer to Fig.12 and Fig.13 , Fig.12A schematic diagram of the upper hemisphere ratio of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with the filter circuit 150 but not with the capacitive load circuit 160, Fig.13 A schematic diagram of the upper hemisphere ratio of the first antenna when the antenna device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a filter circuit 150 and a capacitive load circuit 160. Fig.12 It can be seen that when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 but not provided with the capacitive load circuit 160, the upper hemisphere proportion of the first antenna is -3.28 dB, and the upper hemisphere proportion is 47%. Fig.13 It can be seen that when the antenna device 100 is provided with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160, the upper hemisphere ratio of the first antenna is -3.08 dB, and the upper hemisphere ratio is 50.6%. Therefore, after the antenna device 100 of the present application is provided with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160, the upper hemisphere ratio of the first antenna is increased from 47% to 50.6%, and the upper hemisphere performance of the first antenna when supporting GPS signals is better.

[0050] In the antenna device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the first radiator 110 and the second radiator 120 form a mouth-to-mouth antenna radiation structure. The second resonant current generated by the second radiator 120 excited by the second feed source 140 can be returned to the ground through the filter circuit 150. When the first feeding point 112 is arranged near the first free end 111 and the filter circuit 150 is electrically connected between the first feeding point 112 and the first feed source 130, the second resonant current returned to the ground through the filter circuit 150 basically does not pass through the first radiator 110, so that the second resonant current is not easy to interfere with the first radiator 110; at the same time, the capacitive load circuit 160 is electrically connected between the filter circuit 150 and the first feeding point 112, the capacitive load circuit 160 can tune the first resonant current, and the capacitive load circuit 160 can also block the first resonant current together with the filter circuit 150. The first resonant current is electromagnetically coupled to the second radiator 120, which can reduce the interference of the first resonant current on the second radiator 120, and can also make more first resonant current excite the first radiator 110 to support GPS signals. Therefore, compared with the solution without setting the capacitive load circuit 160, the antenna device 100 of the present application with the filter circuit 150 and the capacitive load circuit 160 can make the bandwidth of the first antenna formed by the first feed source 130 and the first radiator 110 wider, the antenna efficiency is improved by 3-4dB, the front-to-back ratio of the first antenna is reduced to 8.6dB, the radiation directivity of the first antenna is weakened, and the coverage of the first antenna is more uniform; at the same time, the upper hemisphere proportion of the first antenna can be increased to 50.6%, and the GPS efficiency, upper hemisphere proportion and directivity of the first antenna when supporting GPS signals are all better.

[0051] Please combine Figure 1 And refer to Fig.14 , Fig.14This is a third structural diagram of the antenna device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The filter circuit 150 may include at least one capacitor element and at least one inductor element.

[0052] One end of at least one capacitor element and one end of at least one inductor element of the filter circuit 150 are electrically connected between the first feed source 130 and the first feeding point 112, and the other end of at least one capacitor element and the other end of at least one inductor element are electrically connected to the ground system 170 to achieve grounding. At least one capacitor element and at least one inductor element can be connected in parallel with each other between the first feed source 130 and the first feeding point 112.

[0053] It is understandable that if Fig.14 As shown, the filter circuit 150 may include a capacitor element C0 and an inductor element L0, one end of the capacitor element C0 and one end of the inductor element L0 are electrically connected between the first feed source 130 and the first feed point 112, the other end of the capacitor element C0 and the other end of the inductor element L0 are grounded, and the capacitor element C0 and the inductor element L0 can be connected in parallel to form an LC oscillation circuit. The filter circuit 150 can return the second resonant current to the ground and block the second resonant current from flowing to the first feed source 130.
