[0001] This invention relates to an antenna configuration, and more particularly to an antenna configuration for a notebook computer. Background Technology

[0002] As the functional and performance requirements of electronic devices such as laptops increase, adding image sensing modules to the top of the screens of components A and B of a laptop (i.e., the top side of components A and B) can meet the needs of artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

[0003] However, due to the limited space on the top side of a laptop computer, it is difficult to free up space for an antenna module when an image sensing module has already been placed.

[0004] In view of this, configuring antenna modules and image sensing modules in the limited space of electronic devices has become a worthwhile research and development goal for related companies.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, where Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating an antenna configuration 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 2 Drawing according to Figure 1 A side view of the antenna configuration 100 according to the first embodiment. The antenna configuration 100 includes an image sensing module 110 and an antenna module 120. In the first embodiment, the antenna configuration 100 is located at the top of the screen of component A and component B of the notebook computer (i.e., the top side of component A and component B); the image sensing module 110 may be a camera of the notebook computer or a low-resolution image sensor, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0035] The vertical projection portion of the antenna module 120 overlaps with the image sensing module 110. In the first embodiment, as... Figure 2 As shown, the image sensing module 110 is connected to a friction tape T (shown only in the figure). Figure 2 The image sensing module 110 is stacked on top of the antenna module 120 along a vertical direction P, such that the vertical projection portion of the antenna module 120 overlaps with the image sensing module 110. However, this invention is not limited to this. In other possible embodiments, the image sensing module may be stacked on top of the antenna module without contact or in other connection methods.

[0036] Therefore, by setting up the antenna module 120 and the image sensing module 110, the antenna module 120 and the image sensing module 110 can be configured on the antenna side of component A and component B of the notebook computer within a limited setting space.

[0037] Antenna module 120 includes a first radiating part 121, a feed element 122, a second radiating part 123, a grounding part 124, and a body 125. The first radiating part 121, the second radiating part 123, and the grounding part 124 are disposed on the body 125. The feed element 122 is disposed on the first radiating part 121. The first radiating part 121 connects the second radiating part 123 and the grounding part 124. The body 125 is disposed on the antenna side of notebook computer A and B. In a first embodiment, antenna module 120 is a single antenna or a single antenna, and is a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] The feed unit 122 is electrically connected to a coaxial transmission line (not shown) and connected to a signal source to feed in a signal. The second radiating part 123 has a radiating region B1 and a radiating region B2, the radiating region B1 being used to provide low-frequency radiation and the radiating region B2 being used to provide high-frequency radiation; in the case of WiFi 7 applications, the low-frequency radiation range is between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz, and the high-frequency radiation range is between 5 GHz and 7 GHz.

[0039] The vertical projection portion of the grounding portion 124 overlaps with the image sensing module 110. Furthermore, in other possible embodiments, the image sensing module can be overlapped at any position on the antenna module. For example, the image sensing module can be overlapped with the second radiating portion, but the image sensing module must be located away from the feed element to avoid affecting antenna characteristics; however, the invention is not limited thereto.

[0040] The grounding part 124 can be connected to a system ground (not shown) of the notebook computer via an antenna ground G, which can be a ground copper foil. The body 125 can be a substrate or carrier board, such as a printed circuit board (PCB) or a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a first distance X is provided between the feed element 122 and the image sensing module 110, which is the shortest straight-line distance between them. A second distance Y is provided between the second radiating element 123 and the image sensing module 110. In the first embodiment, the feed element 122 and the image sensing module 110 have a first distance X along a first direction D1, and the second radiating element 123 and the image sensing module 110 have a second distance Y along a second direction D2. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1, and the perpendicular direction P is perpendicular to both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. In the first embodiment, the first distance X is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm; the second distance Y is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0042] It should be noted that the distance between the image sensing module 110 and the feed member 122 (first spacing X) and the distance between the image sensing module 110 and the second radiating part 123 (second spacing Y) have a significant impact on the antenna characteristics of the antenna module 120. As the first spacing X and the second spacing Y decrease, the antenna characteristics of the antenna module 120 gradually deteriorate. Therefore, under optimal conditions, the antenna module 120 can maintain optimal antenna characteristics within a limited installation space by setting the first spacing X and the second spacing Y.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A schematic diagram illustrating an antenna configuration 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The antenna configuration 200 includes an image sensing module 210 and an antenna module 220. In the second embodiment, the image sensing module 210 and... Figure 1 The image sensing module 110 in the first embodiment is the same and will not be described again here. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the type of antenna module 220.

[0044] The vertical projection portion of the antenna module 220 overlaps with the image sensing module 210. The antenna module 220 includes a first radiating part 221, a feed member 222, a second radiating part 223, a grounding part 224, and a body 225. The first radiating part 221, the second radiating part 223, and the grounding part 224 are disposed on the body 225, and the second radiating part 223 is connected to the grounding part 224. The second radiating part 223 and the grounding part 224 have a radiation region B3, which is used to provide low-frequency radiation. The first radiating part 221 has a radiation region B4, which is used to provide high-frequency radiation. For WiFi 7 applications, the low-frequency radiation range is between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz, and the high-frequency radiation range is between 5 GHz and 7 GHz. In the second embodiment, the feed member 222, the grounding part 224, and the body 225 are respectively connected to... Figure 1 The feed element 122, grounding part 124 and body 125 of the first embodiment are the same, and will not be described again here; the antenna module 220 is a couple antenna, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in the second embodiment, the feed member 222 and the image sensing module 210 have a first distance X along the first direction D1, the second radiating part 223 and the image sensing module 210 have a second distance Y along the second direction D2, and the first radiating part 221 and the image sensing module 210 have a third distance Z along the first direction D1. In the second embodiment, the first distance X is greater than the third distance Z; the first distance X is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm; the second distance Y is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm; and the third distance Z is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0046] Therefore, by setting up the antenna module 220 and the image sensing module 210, the antenna module 220 and the image sensing module 210 can be configured within a limited space. In addition, by setting the first spacing X, the second spacing Y, and the third spacing Z, it can be ensured that the antenna module 220 maintains optimal antenna characteristics.

[0047] Please see Figure 4As shown, Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating an antenna configuration 300 according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. The antenna configuration 300 includes an image sensing module 310 and an antenna module 320. In the third embodiment, the image sensing module 310 and... Figure 1 The image sensing module 110 in the first embodiment is the same and will not be described again here. The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the type of antenna module 320.

[0048] The vertical projection portion of the antenna module 320 overlaps with the image sensing module 310. The antenna module 320 includes a first radiating part 321, a feed member 322, a second radiating part 323, at least one grounding part 324, and a body 325. The first radiating part 321, the second radiating part 323, and the grounding part 324 are disposed on the body 325. The first radiating part 321 is connected to the second radiating part 323. There are two grounding parts 324, and each end of the second radiating part 323 is connected to a grounding part 324. The second radiating part 323, the grounding part 324, and the antenna ground G have a radiation area B5 (the antenna ground G is not separately selected). The radiation area B5 is used to provide low-frequency radiation. The first radiating part 321 has a radiation area B6, which is used to provide high-frequency radiation. In the case of WiFi 7 applications, the low-frequency radiation range is between 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz, and the high-frequency radiation range is between 5GHz and 7GHz. In the third embodiment, the feeder 322 and the body 325 are respectively connected to... Figure 1 The feed element 122 and the body 125 of the first embodiment are the same, and will not be described again here; the antenna module 320 is a loop antenna, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in the third embodiment, the feed member 322 and the image sensing module 310 have a first distance X along the first direction D1, the second radiating part 323 and the image sensing module 310 have a second distance Y along the second direction D2, and the first radiating part 321 and the image sensing module 310 have a third distance Z along the first direction D1. In the third embodiment, the first distance X is greater than the third distance Z, and the first distance X is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm; the second distance Y is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm; and the third distance Z is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0050] Therefore, by setting up the antenna module 320 and the image sensing module 310, the antenna module 320 and the image sensing module 310 can be configured within a limited space. In addition, by setting the first spacing X, the second spacing Y, and the third spacing Z, it can be ensured that the antenna module 320 maintains optimal antenna characteristics.

[0051] Please see Figure 5As shown, Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating an antenna configuration 400 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown. The antenna configuration 400 includes an image sensing module 410, an antenna module 420, and an isolator 430, the isolator 430 being electrically connected to the image sensing module 410. The difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the placement of the image sensing module 410 and the antenna module 420, and the fact that the antenna configuration 400 further includes the isolator 430.

[0052] The vertical projection portion of the antenna module 420 overlaps with the image sensing module 410, which is positioned between the two antennas of the antenna module 420. The antenna module 420 includes two first radiating sections 421, two feed elements 422, two second radiating sections 423, two grounding sections 424, and a body 425. The two first radiating sections 421, two second radiating sections 423, and two grounding sections 424 are disposed on the body 425. The two feed elements 422 are respectively disposed on the two first radiating sections 421. The two first radiating sections 421 are respectively connected to the two second radiating sections 423, and the two grounding sections 424 are respectively connected to the two first radiating sections 421. It should be noted that in other possible embodiments, the antenna ground and the isolation member can both be part of the antenna module; the image sensing module can be superimposed on any position of the antenna module, as long as it is ensured that the image sensing module is far away from the feed member. For example, the image sensing module can be superimposed on the second radiating part, and even if the positions of the feed member and the ground part are interchanged, the image sensing module can still be superimposed on the ground part, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0053] In the fourth embodiment, the feed member 422, the grounding part 424, and the body 425 are respectively connected to... Figure 1 The feed element 122, grounding part 124 and body 125 of the first embodiment are the same, and will not be described again here; the antenna module 420 is a dual antenna, and consists of two planar inverted F-shaped antennas (PIFA) arranged opposite to each other, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the two feed elements 422 and the image sensing module 410 are respectively separated by a first distance X along the first direction D1, and the two second radiating elements 423 and the image sensing module 410 are respectively separated by a second distance Y along the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1, and the perpendicular direction P is perpendicular to both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. In the fourth embodiment, the first distance X is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm; the second distance Y is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0055] Therefore, by configuring the antenna module 420 and the image sensing module 410, the antenna module 420 and the image sensing module 410 can be arranged within a limited space. Furthermore, by setting the first spacing X and the second spacing Y, it can be ensured that the antenna module 420 maintains optimal antenna characteristics.

[0056] An isolator 430 is disposed between the two first radiating portions 421 to isolate the dual antennas. Specifically, the dual antennas can interfere with each other's antenna characteristics. Distributing the isolator 430 between the opposing dual antennas increases the isolation between them, thus preventing mutual interference of antenna characteristics.

[0057] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, where Figure 6 Drawing according to Figure 5 A comparative schematic diagram of the isolation of the antenna configuration 400 in the fourth embodiment. Further explanation: the image sensing module 410 disposed between the two antennas functions similarly to a barrier isolating the two antennas. Through the conduction between the isolator 430 and the image sensing module 410, the path of the barrier can be extended, thereby further increasing the isolation. Specifically, by... Figure 6 As can be seen from the antenna characteristic curves, the antenna configuration 400 with isolator 430 can significantly improve the isolation of the dual antennas compared to the configuration without isolator 430.

[0058] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention has the following advantages: First, by partially overlapping the antenna module and the image sensing module, the antenna module and the image sensing module are configured in a notebook computer. Second, by setting the distances between the feed member and the second radiating part and the image sensing module, the antenna module can maintain optimal antenna characteristics. Third, by setting an isolator between the two antennas of the antenna module, mutual interference between the antenna characteristics of the two antennas can be avoided.

[0059] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art should be able to make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the appended claims.
