Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device including an antenna. Background Art
[0002] Electronic devices are becoming thinner as the functional gap of each manufacturer decreases to meet the purchasing expectations of consumers, and they are being developed to increase the rigidity of electronic devices, strengthen the design aspects, and at the same time differentiate their functional elements. As part of this trend, electronic devices may include at least one antenna, among which the antenna must be provided for communication. Such an antenna may be implemented by a metal frame (e.g., a side member) used as a part of the housing of the electronic device, and is developed to exhibit excellent radiation performance. Summary of the invention
[0003] The size and number of antennas used in the electronic device may be determined according to the frequency, bandwidth, and / or type of each service. For example, a low frequency band (LB) of approximately 600 megahertz (MHz) to 960 MHz, a mid frequency band (MB) of approximately 1700 MHz to 2200 MHz, a high frequency band (HB) of approximately 2300 MHz to 2800 MHz, or a high frequency band (e.g., fifth generation (5G) (new radio (NR))) of approximately 3 gigahertz (GHz) to 300 GHz (e.g., ultra-high frequency band (UHB) / frequency range 1 (FR1), approximately 3.2 GHz to 4.5 GHz) may be used as a main communication frequency band. As another example, various wireless communication services such as Bluetooth may be used. TM (BT), Global Positioning System (GPS) or Wireless Fidelity (WI-FI). Although multiple antennas must be included in the electronic device to support the above communication bands, in an electronic device with a diversified operating structure (for example, a rollable electronic device or a foldable electronic device), the space for placing the antenna can be reduced. To overcome this problem, service bands with similar frequency bands can be combined and designed to be separated into several antennas.
[0004] The electronic device may include at least one housing structure for preparing a space for accommodating electronic components. The housing structure may include a side member that serves as at least a portion of a side surface of the electronic device. In an embodiment, the side member may be at least partially formed of a metal material (e.g., a conductive member, a conductive portion, or a conductive material) to enhance the rigidity of the electronic device and / or perform a specified function (e.g., an antenna function), and the remaining portion may be formed of a polymer material (e.g., a non-conductive member, a non-conductive portion, or a non-conductive material) combined with a metal material. For example, the conductive portion of the side member may include at least one antenna formed by at least one non-conductive portion (e.g., a segmented portion). For example, the conductive portion is segmented by at least one segmented portion, and by feeding power to both sides of the segmented portion, respectively, at least two antennas operating in various frequency bands may be implemented.
[0005] However, when antennas having a power feeding structure based on a split portion through two power feeding units arranged on the left and right sides of the same plane operate simultaneously (e.g., carrier aggregation (CA) mode or 4Rx mode), since the distribution of current is formed in the same direction (e.g., horizontal direction), the isolation between the antennas may be reduced and the radiation performance may be deteriorated.
[0006] Various embodiments of the present disclosure are to provide an electronic device including an antenna that can help improve radiation performance through proper division and power feeding of a conductive member serving as a side member.
[0007] Another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide an electronic device including an antenna that can help improve isolation of the antenna when power is fed to both sides of a split part.
[0008] However, the problems to be solved in the present disclosure are not limited to the above-mentioned problems and can be expanded in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
[0009] Solution to the problem
[0010] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one housing, which includes a side member, the side member including a first side surface; a second side surface extending from a first end of the first side surface; and a third side surface extending from a second end of the first side surface; a first conductive portion, the first conductive portion is formed into a ring shape when the first side surface is viewed from the outside and is divided by a first segmentation portion; a substrate, which is disposed in the internal space of at least one housing and includes a ground; and a wireless communication circuit, which is disposed on the substrate and is configured to send or receive wireless signals in at least one frequency band through the first conductive portion. The first conductive portion includes: a first power feeding unit electrically connected to the wireless communication circuit through a first point in one direction of the first segmentation portion; a second power feeding unit electrically connected to the wireless communication circuit through a second point in another direction of the first segmentation portion; a first grounding portion electrically connected to the ground through a third point between the first segmentation portion and the first point in one direction; and a second grounding portion electrically connected to the ground through a fourth point between the second point and the first point in another direction.
[0011] Advantageous Effects of the Invention
[0012] According to various embodiments, isolation can be improved even if antennas are operated simultaneously by inducing electric paths (or current distributions) in different directions from each other through a power feeding structure in which a ring-shaped conductive portion divided by a dividing portion is formed when one side of an electronic device is viewed from the outside, and power is fed to both sides based on the divided portion.
[0013] Besides this, various effects directly or indirectly recognized through this document may be provided.

The communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors capable of operating independently from the processor 120 (e.g., an application processor (AP)) and supporting direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to an embodiment, the communication module 190 may include a wireless communication module 192 (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module 194 (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module or a power line communication (PLC) module). A corresponding one of these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct, or Infrared Data Association (IrDA)) or a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a traditional cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or a wide area network (WAN))). These various types of communication modules may be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or may be implemented as multiple components (e.g., multiple chips) separated from each other. The wireless communication module 192 may identify and authenticate the electronic device 101 in a communication network (such as the first network 198 or the second network 199) using user information (e.g., an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)) stored in the user identification module 196.

In an embodiment, the pair of antennas A1 and A2 may include a first antenna A1 and a second antenna A2, in which power is fed by the first power feeding unit PF1 in the first antenna A1, and the first antenna A1 has a first electrical length EP1 from the first ground portion G1 to the second ground portion G2 without passing through the first division portion 320, and in which power is fed by the second power feeding unit PF2 in the second antenna A2, and the second antenna A2 has a second electrical length EP2 from the second ground portion G2 to the first ground portion G1 through the first division portion 320. In an embodiment, the first electrical length EP1 may be configured to be longer than the second electrical length EP2.

Figure 8a Part (b) is a diagram showing the front surface of the first housing 210 of the electronic device 200. It can be recognized that in the first conductive portion 310, based on the first power feeding unit PF1, a high current density is distributed from the first ground portion G1 to the second ground portion G2 through a portion of the front surface of the first side member 211 without passing through the first dividing portion 320.
[0117] Figure 8bThe present invention is a diagram showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a diagram of current distribution of the first side member when the second antenna is used. Figure 8b Part (a) is a diagram showing a rear surface of a first housing 210 of the electronic device 200 . Figure 8b Part (b) is a diagram showing the first side surface 2111 of the first housing 210 of the electronic device 200. It can be recognized that in the first conductive portion 310, high current density is distributed between the first ground G1 and the second ground G2 through the first division portion 320 based on the second power feeding unit PF2.
[0118] This may mean that the isolation between the two antennas A1 and A2 is increased due to mutual interference by forming current densities at positions that do not overlap each other even when the two antennas A1 and A2 are operated simultaneously.

It can be recognized that the radiation efficiency when the first antenna A1 operates alone is substantially the same as the radiation efficiency when the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 operate simultaneously. This may mean that even if the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 operate simultaneously, interference with the opposing antenna is reduced and isolation is increased.
[0121] Figure 8e is a comparison of the embodiments of the present disclosure Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a graph showing the performance of a single operation of the second antenna A2 and the performance of the simultaneous operation of the first antenna and the second antenna. It can be recognized that the radiation efficiency when the second antenna A2 operates alone is substantially the same as the radiation efficiency when the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 operate simultaneously. This may mean that even if the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 operate simultaneously, interference with the other antenna is reduced and isolation is increased.
[0122] Fig. 9 is a configuration diagram of an electronic device including an additional ground portion according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0124] Reference Fig. 9 , the electronic device 200 may include a first conductive portion 310 that is disposed on the first side surface 2111 and is divided by a first dividing portion 320. In an embodiment, the first conductive portion 310 may be divided from surrounding conductive portions (e.g., the second conductive portion 311 and / or the third conductive portion 312) by a second dividing portion 321 disposed on the second side surface 2112 and a third dividing portion 322 disposed on the third side surface 2113.
[0125] According to various embodiments, the first conductive portion 310 may include a third ground portion G3 and a fourth ground portion G4, the third ground portion G3 being disposed at a fifth point P5 between the second ground portion G2 and the third side surface 2113 in the direction of the third side surface 2113 (e.g., the fourth direction ④) and electrically connected to the ground G of the substrate 252, and the fourth ground portion G4 being disposed at a sixth point P6 between the third ground portion G3 and the third side surface 2113 and electrically connected to the ground G of the substrate 252. In an embodiment, the third ground portion G3 or the fourth ground portion G4 may be disposed to increase isolation by reducing the phenomenon that the first antenna A1 is interfered by the second power feeding unit PF2. In some embodiments, the third ground portion G3 or the fourth ground portion G4 may be omitted. In some embodiments, the first conductive portion 310 may further include at least one additional ground portion disposed between the fourth ground portion G4 and the first power feeding unit PF1 in the direction of the third side surface (e.g., the fourth direction ④) from the fourth ground portion G4.
[0126] According to various embodiments, the first conductive portion 310 may include a fifth ground portion G5 and a sixth ground portion G6, the fifth ground portion G5 being disposed at a seventh point P7 between the first ground portion G1 and the first segment portion 320 in the direction of the second side surface 2112 (e.g., the third direction ③) and electrically connected to the ground G of the substrate 252, and the sixth ground portion G6 being electrically connected to the ground G of the substrate 252 at an eighth point P8 between the fifth ground portion G5 and the first segment portion 320. In an embodiment, the fifth ground portion G5 or the sixth ground portion G6 may be disposed to increase isolation by reducing the phenomenon that the second antenna A2 is interfered by the first power feeding unit PF1. In some embodiments, the fifth ground portion G5 or the sixth ground portion G6 may be omitted. In some embodiments, the first conductive portion 310 may further include at least one additional ground portion disposed between the sixth ground portion G6 and the first segment portion 320.
[0127] Fig.10 is a graph comparing radiation performance according to the presence or absence of an additional ground portion according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0128] Reference Fig.10 , it can be identified that in the case of Figure 7 In the case where the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 include each of the ground portions G1 and G2 (curve 1001), and the third ground portion G3 and the fourth ground portion G4 are added to the first antenna A1 and the fifth ground portion G5 and the sixth ground portion G6 are added to the second antenna A2 (curve 1002), excellent isolation of -15 dB or less is exhibited in all of the low frequency band (LB) and the mid frequency band (MB).
[0129] According to various embodiments, it can be recognized that when the third and fourth ground portions G3 and G4 and the fifth and sixth ground portions G5 and G6 are added, the isolation (curve 1002) between the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 is increased more than the isolation (curve 1001) of the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 having one of each of the ground portions G1 and G2 for the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2. This may mean that the added ground portions G3, G4, G5, and G6 can help increase the isolation of the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2.
[0130] Fig.11a The present invention is shown according to the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 Graph of current distribution of operation of the first antenna. The first antenna A1 fed with power by the first power feeding unit PF1 operates through a portion of the first conductive portion 310 and a portion of the second side surface 2112 having a length in the y-axis direction, and the direction of the surface current applied to the electronic device 200 can be substantially parallel to the y-axis direction.
[0131] Fig.11b The present invention is shown according to the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a diagram of current distribution of operation of the second antenna. In the second antenna A2 fed with power by the second power feeding unit PF2, the electrical length is determined to be a portion corresponding to the first side surface 2111 of the first conductive portion 310 by the first ground portion G1 and the second ground portion G2, and only the first segment portion 320 operates by coupling, and the surface current applied to the electronic device 200 can be substantially parallel to the x-axis direction.
[0132] This may mean that even when the first antenna A1 and the second antenna A2 are operated simultaneously, surface currents are induced in different directions and isolation increases.

In an embodiment, when the fourth ground portion G4 is electrically disconnected from the ground G of the substrate 252 through the second variable circuit T2, and the third ground portion G3 is connected to the ground G of the substrate 252 through the first variable circuit T1, the first antenna A1 may operate in a second frequency band (curve 1302) lower than the first frequency band of the low frequency band. In an embodiment, when the third ground portion G3 and the fourth ground portion G4 are electrically disconnected from the substrate 252 through the first variable circuit T1 and the second variable circuit T2, the first antenna A1 may operate in a third frequency band (curve 1303) lower than the second frequency band of the low frequency band. This may mean that the operating frequency band of the first antenna A1 may be freely moved by appropriate control of the first variable circuit T1 and / or the second variable circuit T2.

[0147] In the description Fig.17 200, the same reference numerals are assigned to Figure 7 The components of the electronic device 200 are substantially the same as the components, and a detailed description thereof may be omitted.
[0148] Reference Fig.17, the electronic device 200 may include a second conductive portion 311 divided by a second dividing portion 321 on the second side surface 2112 of the first side member 211 and / or a third conductive portion 312 divided by a third dividing portion 322 on the third side surface 2113. In an embodiment, the second conductive portion 311 may include a third power feeding unit PF3, which is disposed at a fifth point P5 spaced apart from the second dividing portion 321 and is electrically connected to the wireless communication circuit 192 of the substrate 252 through a third electrical path 2523. In an embodiment, the electronic device 200 may include a matching circuit M3 disposed in the third electrical path 2523. In an embodiment, the second conductive portion 311 may include a third ground portion G3, which is disposed at a sixth point P6 spaced apart from the fifth point P5 in a direction away from the second dividing portion 321 (e.g., +y-axis direction) and is electrically connected to the ground G of the substrate 252. In an embodiment, at least a portion of the second conductive portion 311 may be operated as a third antenna A3 in a specified frequency band (e.g., a mid-frequency band and / or a high-frequency band) through the third power feeding unit PF3 and the third ground portion G3. In an embodiment, the third antenna A3 may be operated as a slot antenna or a slit antenna. In an embodiment, the frequency band of the third antenna A3 may be determined according to the position of the third ground portion G3. Such a configuration of the third antenna A3 may help improve the phenomenon of increased circuit loss due to excessive use of a duplexer in the first antenna A1.
[0149] According to various embodiments, since the first antenna A1 and the third antenna A3 operate by sharing the second division part 321, isolation may be deteriorated. In order to improve this phenomenon, the electronic device 200 may include a low pass filter (LPF) provided in the first electrical path 2521 connecting the first power feeding unit PF1 and the wireless communication circuit 192. In an embodiment, the low pass filter (LPF) can help improve the isolation of the first antenna A1 and the third antenna A3 and the efficiency of the middle / high frequency band of the third antenna A3 by forcibly reducing the efficiency of the middle frequency band and / or the high frequency band of the first antenna A1.
[0150] Fig.18 is a comparison of embodiments of the present disclosure with or without filters Fig.17 A graph showing the isolation between the first antenna and the third antenna.
[0151] Reference Fig.18, it can be recognized that when the low pass filter (LPF) is not used, the isolation between the first antenna A1 and the third antenna A3 is represented by about -10db or more in the middle frequency band and the high frequency band (region 1801).

This may mean that even if the second division part 321 is used in common for the first antenna A1 and the third antenna A3, when the low pass filter (LPF) is applied to the feed line of the first antenna A1, the isolation between the two antennas A1 and A3 is increased.
