[0035] Traditional antennas require a certain profile height to increase the antenna bandwidth, but a larger profile height makes it difficult to bend the antenna and render it inflexible, which increases the difficulty of the antenna in curved surface conformity and large-diameter storage applications. In order to solve the problems of the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention proposes an antenna structure. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an antenna structure according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the antenna structure of the embodiment of the present application includes a flexible radiation layer 10; a flexible grounding layer 20, which is arranged opposite to the flexible radiation layer 10; a compressible dielectric layer 30, which is located between the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20, the conductive side of the flexible radiation layer 10 is away from the compressible dielectric layer 30, and the conductive side of the flexible grounding layer 20 is away from the compressible dielectric layer 30; an SMA connector 40, including a base 42 and a first connecting portion 41 connected to each other, the base 42 is located on the side of the flexible grounding layer 20 away from the compressible dielectric layer 30, and the first connecting portion 41 electrically connects the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20.

[0036] The antenna structure of the embodiment of the present application is composed of a flexible radiation layer 10, a flexible ground layer 20, a compressible dielectric layer 30 and an SMA connector 40. Among them, the compressible dielectric layer 30 is made of a porous material, such as a polymer aerogel, a sponge, etc. Preferably, the porosity of the porous material used to make the compressible dielectric layer 30 is greater than or equal to 95%. In this way, the antenna structure can achieve a good longitudinal profile telescopic function. The profile height of the compressible dielectric layer is not less than 0.01 times the wavelength. Preferably, the profile height is 0.01 to 0.2 times the wavelength to ensure that the antenna structure has a certain bandwidth and has a low profile characteristic.

[0037] The flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20 are both made of a patterned metal-plated film material, such as a copper-clad PI film (Polyimide Film). Preferably, the copper foil thickness in the copper-clad PI film is 9 to 18 μm, and the PI film thickness is 12.5 to 100 μm, and the FPC process or laser cutting process is used for preparation. It should be noted that the FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) process, the full name of which is the flexible printed circuit board process, is a technology that uses optical imaging pattern transfer and etching process methods to form a conductor circuit pattern on a flexible substrate surface.

[0038] The flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20 are bonded on both sides of the compressible dielectric layer 30 by a polymer adhesive. The adhesive includes but is not limited to silicone adhesive, epoxy resin adhesive, polyurethane adhesive and polyvinyl acetate adhesive. Preferably, the dielectric constant of the adhesive does not exceed 4.0, the viscosity is 600-1500Pas, and it is cured at room temperature for 24 hours, or heated for 6-24 hours, and the heating temperature is 60℃-120℃. The viscosity value range is 600-1500Pas. In this way, it can avoid that the adhesive is difficult to flow and expand due to excessive viscosity, and it can also avoid that the adhesive flows into the gaps in the compressible dielectric layer 30 due to too low viscosity, affecting the compression rate of the antenna structure.

[0039] The compressible dielectric layer 30 in the antenna structure is located between the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible ground layer 20, the conductive side of the flexible radiation layer 10 is away from the compressible dielectric layer 30, and the conductive side of the flexible ground layer 20 is away from the compressible dielectric layer 30. In other words, the conductive metal layers of the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible ground layer 20 are both facing the side away from the compressible dielectric layer 30. The flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible ground layer 20 are electrically connected through an SMA connector.

[0040] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of an SMA connector according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another SMA connector according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the SMA connector 40 includes a base 42 and a first connecting portion 41 that are interconnected. The base 42 is located on the side of the flexible grounding layer 20 away from the compressible dielectric layer 30, and the first connecting portion 41 is electrically connected to the flexible radiating layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20. That is to say, the SMA connector 40 electrically interconnects the flexible radiating layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20 in the antenna structure to feed the antenna. The SMA connector (SubMiniature version A connector) is a common radio frequency (RF) connector used to connect radio frequency equipment, antennas and cables. It is a standard connector type in the field of satellite television and communications, used to transmit high-frequency signals, and is generally used in a frequency range from DC (direct current) to 18GHz. The traditional SMA has a hard metal rod that can directly interconnect the flexible radiating layer 10 with the flexible grounding layer 20, but the metal rod of the SMA is a hard metal and cannot achieve flexible bending and compression. The SMA connector of this embodiment uses a welding process to interconnect the flexible first connecting portion 41 with the base 42 to form a flexible SMA connector 40.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the material of the first connecting portion 41 in the SMA connector 40 is a flexible metal wire. The flexible metal wire is made of conductive metal materials such as copper, silver, titanium, gold, platinum, aluminum, stainless steel, etc., and its diameter is ≤1mm, showing a certain degree of flexibility. Figure 3 As shown, the material of the first connecting part 41 in the SMA connector 40 is a flexible circuit board, including a metal wire 411 and a flexible coating 412. The flexible circuit board is a highly reliable printed circuit board with excellent flexibility made of polyimide or polyester film as a substrate, and the surface layer and the inner layer of the double-sided and multi-layer circuit board are electrically connected through metallized holes. Preferably, the flexible circuit board is a patterned PI copper-clad board, wherein the copper foil thickness is 9 to 18 μm, and the PI film thickness is 12.5 to 100 μm. It is prepared by FPC technology or laser cutting technology and has the characteristics of good bending resistance. The SMA connector formed in this way is flexible and can be deformed synchronously when the antenna structure is bent or compressed.

[0042] In one embodiment, the antenna structure further includes at least one second connecting portion 50 , and the second connecting portion 50 is electrically connected to the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible ground layer 20 .

[0043] The antenna structure of the embodiment of the present application further includes one or more flexible second connection parts 50. The second connection part 50 has the same structural form as the first connection part 41, but has different functions. The second connection part 50 is used to realize the electrical interconnection between the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20, and the first connection part 41 realizes the electrical interconnection between the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20, and is also used to form an SMA connector.

[0044] The material of the second connecting portion 50 is a flexible metal wire and / or a flexible circuit board. The flexible metal wire is made of conductive metal materials such as copper, silver, titanium, gold, platinum, aluminum, stainless steel, etc., with a diameter of ≤1mm and exhibits a certain degree of flexibility. The flexible circuit board is a patterned PI copper-clad board, wherein the copper foil thickness is 9 to 18μm and the PI film thickness is 12.5 to 100μm. Within a certain numerical range, as the number of the second connecting portions 50 increases, the cross-sectional height of the antenna structure can be reduced.

[0045] The first connection part 41 and the second connection part 50 both penetrate the compressible dielectric layer 30 and are respectively welded on the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20 through a soldering process to interconnect the flexible radiation layer 10 and the flexible grounding layer 20, thereby achieving overall flexibility, bendability and compressibility of the antenna structure.

[0046] The flexible antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the present application aims to solve the problem that high-profile antennas are difficult to bend. A porous polymer material is used to reduce the modulus of the dielectric layer, improve the flexibility of the thick dielectric layer, and a flexible interconnection structure is used to achieve flexible interconnection between the antenna layers. Although the assembled antenna is relatively thick, it is both compressible and bendable, and has good softness. The antenna structure of the embodiment of the present application is thin, flexible, easy to conform to the platform, can be stored, and is easy to unfold. It is widely used in the fields of structural integration conformal and spatially deployable antennas.

[0047] The antenna structure of the present application includes: a flexible radiation layer; a flexible grounding layer, which is arranged opposite to the flexible radiation layer; a compressible dielectric layer, which is located between the flexible radiation layer and the flexible grounding layer, the conductive side of the flexible radiation layer is away from the compressible dielectric layer, and the conductive side of the flexible grounding layer is away from the compressible dielectric layer; an SMA connector, including a base and a first connecting part connected to each other, the base is located on the side of the flexible grounding layer away from the compressible dielectric layer, and the first connecting part electrically connects the flexible radiation layer and the flexible grounding layer. The present application uses an antenna structure composed of a flexible radiation layer, a grounding layer and a compressible dielectric layer, which can be freely bent and compressed.

[0048] Second embodiment

[0049] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for preparing an antenna structure according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also proposes a method for preparing an antenna structure, comprising the following steps:

[0050] S201: Provide a flexible radiation layer, a flexible grounding layer and a compressible dielectric layer.

[0051] Among them, the material of the compressible dielectric layer is a porous material, such as polymer aerogel, sponge, etc. Preferably, the porosity of the porous material used to make the compressible dielectric layer is greater than or equal to 95%. Specifically, the compressible dielectric layer of the required dielectric constant, as well as its thickness and shape are determined according to the design requirements of the antenna structure. The porous material is processed by a laser cutting process to form the required thickness, shape and vias of the compressible dielectric layer. In this way, the antenna structure can achieve good longitudinal profile telescopic function. The profile height of the compressible dielectric layer is not less than 0.01 times the wavelength. Preferably, the profile height is 0.01 to 0.2 times the wavelength to ensure that the antenna structure has a certain bandwidth and has a low profile characteristic.

[0052] The flexible radiation layer and the flexible grounding layer are both made of a patterned metal-plated film material, such as a copper-clad PI film (Polyimide Film). Specifically, the PI copper-clad laminate is used as the raw material, and the required radiation layer and grounding layer are prepared by an FPC process or a laser cutting process. The copper foil thickness of the selected PI copper-clad laminate is any thickness of 9 to 18 μm, and the PI film thickness is any thickness of 12.5 μm to 100 μm.

[0053] S202: bonding the flexible radiation layer, the compressible dielectric layer and the flexible grounding layer in sequence, with the conductive side of the flexible radiation layer away from the compressible dielectric layer, and the conductive side of the flexible grounding layer away from the compressible dielectric layer.

[0054] The flexible radiation layer and the flexible grounding layer are bonded on both sides of the compressible dielectric layer by a polymer adhesive. The compressible dielectric layer in the antenna structure is located between the flexible radiation layer and the flexible grounding layer, the conductive side of the flexible radiation layer is away from the compressible dielectric layer, and the conductive side of the flexible grounding layer is away from the compressible dielectric layer.

[0055] In one embodiment, before the step of sequentially bonding the flexible radiation layer, the flexible ground layer, and the compressible flexible ground layer, the method further includes:

[0056] Adhesive is applied to the first film layer of the flexible radiation layer and the second film layer of the flexible ground layer respectively;

[0057] The compressible medium layer is made of porous material, the dielectric constant of the adhesive is less than or equal to 4, and the viscosity is 600-1500 Pas.

[0058] Here, the adhesive includes but is not limited to silicone adhesive, epoxy resin adhesive, polyurethane adhesive and polyvinyl acetate adhesive, etc. After the adhesive is applied, it is cured at room temperature for 24 hours, or heated for 6 to 24 hours, and the heating temperature is 60°C to 120°C.

[0059] S203: electrically connecting the flexible radiation layer and the flexible grounding layer through the first connecting portion of the SMA connector.

[0060] The material of the first connection part can be a flexible metal wire. The flexible metal wire is made of conductive metal materials such as copper, silver, titanium, gold, platinum, aluminum, stainless steel, etc., with a diameter of ≤1mm and exhibiting a certain degree of flexibility. The material of the first connection part can also be a flexible circuit board, a metal wire and a flexible coating.

[0061] S204: Install a base of the SMA connector on a side of the flexible ground layer away from the compressible dielectric layer.

[0062] S205: Connect the base and the first connecting part to obtain an antenna structure.

[0063] Here, a flexible interconnected FPC circuit is prepared by using an FPC or laser cutting process, or a metal wire of a certain diameter is directly selected, and the second connecting part is welded to the base to form a flexible SMA connector.

[0064] Next, at least one second connection part is formed. The flexible radiation layer, the flexible ground layer, the compressible dielectric layer, the second connection part, and the SMA connector are assembled, wherein the PI film surface of the flexible radiation layer and the flexible ground layer is coated with an adhesive and cured for 24 hours, or cured at 60°C to 120°C for 6 to 24 hours. Finally, the second connection part, the SMA connector, the flexible radiation layer, the compressible dielectric layer, and the flexible ground layer are welded to form an antenna structure.

[0065] After testing, the antenna was compressed by more than 50% in the cross-sectional height direction and bent by more than 90° in the horizontal direction.

[0066] The preparation method of the antenna structure provided in the present application uses a binder with a certain viscosity. The viscosity of the binder can change the fluidity of the binder, preventing the binder from flowing into the dielectric layer formed by the porous material, thereby destroying the porous structure, changing the flexibility and dielectric properties of the dielectric layer, and affecting the antenna performance. The viscosity of the binder provided by the present invention is 600-1500pas. If the viscosity is low, it is easy to penetrate into the dielectric layer. If the viscosity is high, it is not conducive to the flow of the binder and affects the uniformity of bonding.

[0067] The method for preparing the antenna structure of the embodiment of the present application comprises providing a flexible radiation layer, a flexible grounding layer and a compressible dielectric layer; sequentially bonding the flexible radiation layer, the compressible dielectric layer and the flexible grounding layer, wherein the conductive side of the flexible radiation layer is away from the compressible dielectric layer, and the conductive side of the flexible grounding layer is away from the compressible dielectric layer; electrically connecting the flexible radiation layer and the flexible grounding layer through the first connecting portion of the SMA connector; installing the base of the SMA connector on the side of the flexible grounding layer away from the compressible dielectric layer; and connecting the base and the first connecting portion to obtain the antenna structure. In this way, the antenna structure prepared in the embodiment of the present application can be freely bent and compressed.

The thickness of PI is 12.5μm and the thickness of copper foil is 9μm. Silicone adhesive is coated on the surface of PI film, and the viscosity of the adhesive is 600pas. According to the design requirements of the antenna structure, PI aerogel is selected as the antenna dielectric layer, and the required shape and vias are prepared by laser cutting process. The first connection part is welded to the SMA base to prepare a flexible SMA connector, and the flexible radiation layer, flexible grounding layer, compressible dielectric layer, second connection part and flexible SMA connector are spliced ​​and assembled, and cured at room temperature for 24 hours.

After testing, the compression amount of the antenna structure of this embodiment is 80%, and the bending angle in the horizontal direction is 150°.

[0070] Fourth embodiment

The thickness of PI is 100μm and the thickness of copper foil is 18μm. Epoxy adhesive is applied on the surface of PI film, and the bonding viscosity is 1500pas.
