[0051] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:
[0052] As can be seen from the above embodiments, in this disclosure, since satellite frequency band signals and cellular frequency band signals do not need to work simultaneously, when the first radiator radiates cellular frequency band signals, the branches between the first upper frame point and the second upper frame point of the second radiator are constructed as magnetic parasitic branches of the first radiator to improve the radiation efficiency of the first radiator. This helps to reduce the corresponding matching circuit and active switch design, thereby reducing the number of upper frame points of the antenna structure, simplifying the antenna structure, and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0069] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an antenna structure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 This is a simplified topological diagram of an antenna structure according to an exemplary embodiment. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the antenna structure includes a first radiator 1, a second radiator 2, a third radiator 3, and a metal ground plane 4. The first radiator 1, second radiator 2, and third radiator 3 are all disposed on one side of the metal ground plane 4, forming an antenna clearance between them and the metal ground plane 4. The second radiator 2 is disposed between the first radiator 1 and the third radiator 3. The first radiator 1 can be used to radiate cellular frequency band signals; for example, it can radiate one or more cellular frequency band signals. For instance, it can radiate B3 TX band signals, B3... The second radiator 2 can radiate satellite frequency band signals, such as BeiDou TX band signals, BeiDou RX band signals, TianTong TX band signals, and TianTong RX band signals; the third radiator 3 can radiate WiFi frequency band signals, such as WiFi 5G band signals and WiFi 2.4G band signals; furthermore, the third radiator 3 can also radiate GPS frequency band signals, such as GPS L1 band signals, GPS L2 band signals, and GPS L5 band signals.
[0070] The spacing between the second radiator 2 and the metal floor 4 can be understood as forming a single, uninterrupted space between them, without any connecting ribs. The second radiator 2 is suspended. The first radiator 1 and the metal floor 4 can be connected via metal ribs, for example, the end of the first radiator 1 facing away from the second radiator 2 can be connected to the metal floor 4 via a metal rib. Similarly, the third radiator 3 and the metal floor 4 can also be connected via metal ribs, for example, the end of the third radiator 3 facing away from the second radiator 2 can be connected to the metal floor 4 via a metal rib. The metal ribs and the metal floor 4 can be an integral structure, or they can be fixedly connected by welding or other methods. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.
[0071] The second radiator 2 includes a first upper frame point 21 and a second upper frame point 22, with the second upper frame point 22 positioned relative to the first upper frame point 21 and closer to the first gap, i.e., the second upper frame point 22 positioned relative to the first upper frame point 21 and closer to the first radiator 1. The antenna structure also includes a first capacitor C1, a first feed 5, and a first switching circuit 6. One end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected to the first upper frame point 21. The first feed 5 is electrically connected to the second upper frame point 22. The electrical signal fed through the first feed 5 can excite a current to be generated on the second radiator 2. The first switching circuit 6... Figure 2 As shown in the dashed box, the first switching circuit 6 includes a first switch RF1 and a first zero-ohm resistor R1 connected in series with the first switch RF1. At least when the first radiator 1 radiates a cellular frequency band signal, the first switch RF1 switches to the closed state. At this time, the first zero-ohm resistor R1 is electrically connected to the second radiator 2. Since the first upper frame point 21 is grounded through the first capacitor C1, and since the satellite frequency band signal and the cellular frequency band signal do not need to operate simultaneously, the stub between the first upper frame point 21 and the second upper frame point 22 becomes a magnetic parasitic stub of the first radiator 1, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The diagram shows the current distribution of the second radiator 2 when the first radiator 1 is operating. Figure 3 The current flow direction on the branch between the first upper frame point 21 and the second upper frame point 22 is the same as the current flow direction on the first radiator 1. Therefore, the radiation efficiency of the first radiator 1 can be improved, which in turn helps to reduce the corresponding matching circuit and active switch design, thereby reducing the number of upper frame points of the antenna structure, simplifying the antenna structure, and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0072] To improve the radiation efficiency of satellite frequency band signals, taking the BeiDou satellite frequency band as an example, the length of the second radiator 2 can be greater than or equal to 26mm and less than or equal to 30mm, and the 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode of the spur between the second slit and the second upper frame point 22 covers the BeiDou satellite frequency band. That is... Figure 2 The 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode of the branch between the left-side fracture and the second upper frame point 22 covers the BeiDou satellite frequency band. Covering the BeiDou satellite frequency band through the basic resonant mode of this 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode is beneficial to ensuring the radiation efficiency of the BeiDou satellite frequency band.
[0073] In some embodiments, for tuning the second radiator 2, the antenna structure further includes a second switching circuit 7 and a third switching circuit 8. The second switching circuit 7 includes a second switch RF2 and a first tuning element connected in series with the second switch RF2, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first tuning element is an inductor, and the third switching circuit 8 includes a third switch RF3 and a second tuning element connected in series with the third switch RF3, such as... Figure 2As shown, the second tuning element is a capacitor. The antenna structure also includes a second capacitor C2 and a third capacitor C3, which are connected in series between the second upper frame point 22 and the first feed 5. A first switching circuit 6 is electrically connected between the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, and second switching circuits 7 and 8 are also electrically connected between the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, respectively. Taking the second radiator 2 radiating the communication frequency band of the BeiDou satellite as an example, when the second switch RF2 is closed, the first switch RF1 is open, and the third switch RF3 is open, it radiates the BeiDou RX signal; when the third switch RF3 is closed, the first switch RF1 is open, and the second switch RF2 is open, it radiates the BeiDou frequency band TX signal.
[0074] For example, C2 = 33pF, C3 = 3.5pF, the first tuning element connected in series with the second switch RF2 is an inductor with an inductance of 5.1nH, and the second tuning element connected in series with the third switch RF3 is a capacitor with a capacitance of 3.1pF. Based on this, we obtain the following... Figure 4 The standing wave curve of the second radiator 2 shown and as follows Figure 5 The radiation efficiency diagram of the second radiator 2 is shown. (See also...) Figure 4 The red curve shows that the second radiator 2 can cover the BeiDou TX band, and the green curve shows that it can cover the BeiDou RX band. Figure 4 The radiation efficiency of the BeiDou TX band reaches about -3.8dB, and the radiation efficiency of the BeiDou RX band reaches about -2.2dB, demonstrating excellent antenna performance.
[0075] In some embodiments, the first radiator 1 further includes a third upper frame point 11, and the antenna structure further includes a second feed 9 and a fourth switching circuit 10. The second feed 9 is electrically connected to the third upper frame point 11. The electrical signal fed into the second feed 9 excites the first radiator 1 to generate current, thereby achieving coverage of the target frequency band. The fourth switching circuit 10 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the dashed box, the fourth switch circuit 10 includes a fourth switch RF4 and a second zero-ohm resistor R2. When the second radiator 2 radiates satellite frequency band signals, the fourth switch RF4 is in a closed state, thereby grounding the first radiator 1 through the second zero-ohm resistor R2, reducing the radiation influence of the first radiator 1 on the second radiator 2. For example, in the aforementioned embodiment, when the fourth switch RF4 is closed, the second switch RF2 is closed, the first switch RF1 is open, and the third switch RF3 is open, the BeiDou RX signal is radiated; when the fourth switch RF4 is closed, the third switch RF3 is closed, the first switch RF1 is open, and the second switch RF2 is open, the BeiDou frequency band TX signal is radiated.
[0076] For example, the first radiator 1 can cover at least one intermediate frequency band signal and at least one high frequency band signal, such as the intermediate frequency band signals being the B1 and B40 band signals, and the high frequency band signal being the N78 band signal; then, to ensure radiation efficiency, the length of the branch between the third upper frame point 11 and the end of the first radiator 1 used to form the first fracture is greater than or equal to 5 mm and less than or equal to 7 mm, that is... Figure 3 In the range of 5mm≤L1≤7mm, the quarter-wavelength resonant mode of this stub covers high-frequency signals, such as the N78 band; similarly, the length of the first radiator 1 is greater than or equal to 15mm and less than or equal to 20mm, that is... Figure 3 In the range of 15mm≤L2≤20mm, the 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode of the first radiator 1 covers the intermediate frequency band signal, such as covering the B1 band signal and the B40 band signal.
[0077] In some embodiments, in order to match the first radiator 1, the antenna structure further includes a fourth capacitor C4, a fifth capacitor C5, a first inductor L1, and a second inductor L2. The fourth capacitor C4 is connected in series between the second feed 9 and the third upper frame point 11; the first inductor L1 is connected in series between the fourth capacitor C4 and the second feed 9; one end of the second inductor L2 is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected between the fourth capacitor C4 and the third upper frame point 11; one end of the fifth capacitor C5 is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected between the second feed 9 and the first inductor L1; subsequently, when the second radiator 2 radiates satellite frequency band signals, the electrical signal of the first radiator 1 can be grounded through the second zero-ohm resistor R2 without passing through other electronic components.
[0078] To tune and match the first radiator 1 to switch different coverage frequency bands, the antenna structure also includes a fifth switching circuit 12, a sixth switching circuit 13, and a seventh switching circuit 14. The fifth switching circuit includes a fifth switch RF5 and a third zero-ohm resistor R3 connected in series with the fifth switch RF5. One end of the third zero-ohm resistor R3 is electrically connected between the first inductor L1 and the fourth capacitor C4, and the other end is electrically connected to the fourth switching circuit 10 at the same location between the second inductor L2 and the fourth capacitor C4. The sixth switching circuit 10 and the seventh switching circuit 14 are respectively as follows... Figure 2 The corresponding dashed box is shown in the figure. The sixth switch circuit 10 includes a sixth switch RF6 and a third tuning element connected in series with the sixth switch RF6, for example, the third tuning element being an inductor. The seventh switch circuit 14 includes a seventh switch RF7 and a fourth tuning element connected in series with the seventh switch RF5, for example, the fourth tuning element being an inductor. The fourth switch circuit 10, the sixth switch circuit 13, and the seventh switch circuit 14 are connected in parallel in pairs. Tuning can be achieved by switching the open / closed states of the fourth switch RF4, the fifth switch RF5, the sixth switch RF6, and the seventh switch RF7.
[0079] For example, when the first switch RF1 is closed, the second switch RF2 is open, the third switch RF3 is open, the fourth switch RF4 is open, the fifth switch RF5 is open, the sixth switch RF6 is open, and the seventh switch RF7 is open, the first radiator 1 covers the B3TX frequency band; when the first switch RF1 is closed, the second switch RF2 is open, the third switch RF3 is open, the fourth switch RF4 is open, the fifth switch RF5 is open, the sixth switch RF6 is closed, and the seventh switch RF7 is open, the first radiator 1 covers the B3RX ...TX frequency band; when the first switch RF1 is closed, the second switch RF2 is open, the third switch RF3 is open, When switch RF5 is open, the sixth switch RF6 is open, and the seventh switch RF7 is closed, the first radiator 1 covers the B1 frequency band; when the first switch RF1 is closed, the second switch RF2 is open, the third switch RF3 is open, the fourth switch RF4 is open, the fifth switch RF5 is closed, the sixth switch RF6 is open, and the seventh switch RF7 is open, the first radiator 1 covers the B40 or B41 frequency band; when the first switch RF1 is open, the second switch RF2 is open, the third switch RF3 is open, the fourth switch RF4 is open, the fifth switch RF5 is open, the sixth switch RF6 is open, and the seventh switch RF7 is open, the first radiator 1 covers the N78 frequency band.
[0080] For example, C4 = 0.7pF, C5 = 1.1pF, L1 = 8.1nH, L2 = 2.2nH, the third tuning element connected in series with the sixth switch RF6 is an inductor with an inductance of 15nH, and the fourth tuning element connected in series with the seventh switch RF7 is an inductor with an inductance of 6.8nH. Based on this, we obtain the following... Figure 6 The standing wave curve of the first radiator 1 shown and as follows Figure 7 The radiation efficiency diagram of the first radiator 1 is shown. (See also...) Figure 6 and Figure 7 The radiation efficiency of the B3TX band is approximately -3.7dB, the B3RX band is approximately -3.3dB, the B1 band is approximately -3dB, the B40 band is approximately -4dB, the B41 band is approximately -4dB, and the N78 band is approximately -4.5dB, demonstrating excellent antenna performance.
[0081] In the above embodiments, the third radiator 3 includes a fourth upper frame point 31. The antenna structure also includes a short-circuit switch RFn, one end of which is grounded and the other end is directly electrically connected to the fourth upper frame point 31. The direct connection between the short-circuit switch RFn and the fourth upper frame point 31 indicates that there are no other electronic components between them. When the short-circuit switch RFn is closed, the third radiator 3 is short-circuited. Therefore, when the second radiator 2 radiates satellite frequency band signals, the short-circuit switch RFn is in a closed state, causing the third radiator 3 to be short-circuited, thus reducing the impact on the satellite frequency band signals.
[0082] Furthermore, the third radiator 3 also includes a fifth upper frame point 32, and the fourth upper frame point 31 is positioned relative to the fifth upper frame point 32 close to the second fracture, that is... Figure 2 As shown, the fourth upper frame point 31 is located to the right of the fifth upper frame point 32. The antenna structure also includes a third feed 15 and a fourth feed 16. The third feed 15 is electrically connected to the fourth upper frame point 31, and an electrical signal is fed through the third feed 15 to excite the 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode of the spur between the fourth upper frame point 31 and the second gap to cover the WiFi 5G band. The fourth feed 16 is electrically connected to the fifth upper frame point 32, and an electrical signal is fed through the fourth feed 16 to excite the 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode of the third radiator 3 to cover the GPS band. The fourth feed 16 also excites the 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode of the spur between the fifth upper frame point 32 and the second gap to cover the WiFi 2.4G band. In other words, multiple spurs can be constructed on the third radiator 3, and the target frequency band can be covered by the 1 / 4 wavelength resonant mode of each spur, ensuring the radiation efficiency of the target frequency band.
[0083] Furthermore, the antenna structure also includes a third inductor L3 and a sixth capacitor C6. One end of the third inductor L3 is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected between the fourth upper frame point 31 and the third feed 15. A short-circuit switch RFn is electrically connected between the third inductor L3 and the fourth upper frame point 31 to ensure that no other electronic components are connected between the short-circuit switch RFn and the fourth upper frame point 31. The sixth capacitor C6 is connected in series between the third inductor L3 and the third feed 15. Thus, by matching the third inductor L3 and the sixth capacitor C6, coverage of the WiFi 5G band is achieved. Since the third radiator 3 also covers the WiFi 2.4G and GPS bands, to improve isolation, the antenna structure also includes a seventh capacitor C7. The seventh capacitor C7 is connected in series between the second inductor L2 and the fourth upper frame point 31, and the short-circuit switch RFn is electrically connected between the seventh capacitor C7 and the fourth upper frame point 31. The capacitance value of the seventh capacitor C7 can be below 0.5pF, using this small capacitor to improve isolation.
[0084] For example, L3 = 1.2 nH, C6 = 0.3 pF, C7 = 0.2 pF, and simulations were performed based on this. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The simulation curves shown are as follows. Among them, as... Figure 8 The figure shown is the standing wave curve of the third radiator 3 when the third feed 15 receives an electrical signal. Figure 9 The diagram shows the radiation efficiency of the third radiator 3 when an electrical signal is fed in by the third feed 15. (See also...) Figure 8 and Figure 9 The third radiator 3 can cover the WiFi 5G frequency band and has a radiation efficiency of around -6dB, demonstrating excellent antenna performance.
[0085] Similarly, to match the WiFi 2.4G band and the GPS band, the antenna structure also includes an eighth capacitor C8, a ninth capacitor C9, a fourth inductor L4, and a fifth inductor L5. The eighth capacitor C8 is connected in series between the fourth feed 16 and the fifth upper frame point 32; one end of the fourth inductor L4 is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected between the fifth upper frame point 32 and the eighth capacitor C8; the fifth inductor L5 is connected in series between the eighth capacitor C8 and the fourth feed 16; one end of the ninth capacitor C9 is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected between the fifth inductor L5 and the fourth feed 16.
[0086] For example, C8 = 0.7 pF, C9 = 2.2 pF, L4 = 9 nH, L5 = 6.2 nH, and simulations were performed based on this. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The simulation curves shown are as follows. Among them, as... Figure 10 The figure shown is the standing wave curve of the third radiator 3 when the fourth feed 16 feeds an electrical signal. Figure 11 The diagram shows the radiation efficiency of the third radiator 3 when an electrical signal is fed in by the fourth feed 16. (See also...) Figure 10 and Figure 10 The third radiator 3 can cover the WiFi 2.4G band and the GPS band, and the radiation efficiency of the WiFi 2.4G band is about -4.5dB, and the radiation efficiency of the GPS band is about -4.5dB, which shows excellent antenna performance.
