Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to an antenna structure and its electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, electronic devices with mobile communication functions have been widely used in people's daily lives. The emergence of wearable electronic devices has made it even more convenient for users to carry and use these devices. These wearable electronic devices are equipped with antenna structures capable of receiving and transmitting signals, enabling them to achieve communication and positioning. However, when a user wears these wearable electronic devices, the movement of the user's limbs causes changes in the relative position of the antenna structure and the signal transceiver (e.g., a satellite), thus affecting the communication quality and positioning accuracy of the antenna structure and reducing the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an antenna structure and electronic device thereof to improve the problem of reduced communication quality and positioning accuracy caused by changes in the relative position of the antenna structure and the signal transceiver device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] A first aspect of this application provides an antenna structure, including a ring radiator and a ground plane. The ring radiator is circumferentially arranged around the ground plane, and a gap exists between the ground plane and at least a portion of the ring radiator. The ring radiator has a first slot and a slit structure. The first slot and the slit structure divide the ring radiator into a first part and a second part. The ring radiator also has a first ground terminal and a second ground terminal, the first ground terminal being located on the first part and the second ground terminal being located on the second part. The first part includes a first branch and a second branch, the first branch being located between the first ground terminal and the first slot, and the second branch being located between the first ground terminal and the slit structure. The second part includes a third branch, the third branch being located between the first slot and the second ground terminal. The ring radiator also has a feed terminal, the branch with the feed terminal being a main branch, and the remaining branches being parasitic branches, the main branch being used to couple power to the parasitic branches. For example, the feed terminal is located on the first branch, the first branch being a main branch, and the second and third branches being parasitic branches. The first branch is used to generate at least one primary resonance, the center frequency of which is the primary resonance frequency f0, and the primary resonance frequency f0 has a primary resonance depth a0. At least one of the second and third branches is used to generate at least one parasitic resonance, the center frequency of which is the parasitic resonance frequency f1, and the parasitic resonance frequency f1 has a parasitic resonance depth a1.

[0006] To adapt to application scenarios where the relative positions of the antenna structure and the signal transceiver change, the antenna structure provided in this application embodiment also includes a tuning circuit. The tuning circuit is coupled between the parasitic stub and the ground plane. For example, the tuning circuit is coupled between a second stub and the ground plane, or between a third stub and the ground plane. The tuning circuit is used to control the electrical connection state between the parasitic stub and the ground plane, thereby adjusting the relative magnitudes of the parasitic resonant frequency f1 and the main resonant frequency f0, and / or, adjusting the relative magnitudes of the main resonant depth a0 and the parasitic resonant depth a1.

[0007] By controlling the electrical connection between the parasitic stub and the ground plane through a tuning circuit, the relative magnitudes of the parasitic resonant frequency f1 and the main resonant frequency f0, or the relative magnitudes of the main resonant depth a0 and the parasitic resonant a1, can be adjusted. For example, the parasitic resonant frequency f1 can be adjusted to be before (i.e., f1 < f0) or after (i.e., f1 > f0) the main resonant frequency f0, as needed. Similarly, the main resonant depth a0 and the parasitic resonant a1 can be adjusted to be closer to or further away from each other, as needed. This can influence the orientation of the antenna structure's radiation pattern, allowing the antenna structure's radiation pattern to face the signal transceiver, adapting to application scenarios where the relative positions of the antenna structure and the signal transceiver change.

[0008] In some embodiments, the ring radiator further includes a third portion. A third slot is formed on the third portion, dividing the third portion to include a fifth stub and a sixth stub. The fifth stub and the second portion form a fourth slot, and the sixth stub and the second stub form a fifth slot. The slotted structure includes the third portion, the fourth slot, and the fifth slot. The first slot, the third stub, the fourth slot, the fifth stub, the third slot, the sixth stub, the fifth slot, the second stub, and the first stub are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor. In this case, the ring radiator includes the first slot, the third slot, the fourth slot, the fifth slot, and also the first stub, the second stub, the third stub, the fifth stub, and the sixth stub. Thus, by selecting different stubs to participate in the synthesis of the antenna structure pattern and adjusting the relationship between the main resonant frequency and the parasitic resonant frequency, and the main resonant depth and the parasitic resonant depth, the ring radiator can transmit and receive signals in various different ways.

[0009] In one possible approach, the ring radiator may have only one feed point, for example, located on the first stub. The second, third, fifth, and sixth stubs are all coupled to the first stub and are directly or indirectly parasitic on it. A tuning circuit can control the electrical connection between the second, third, fifth, and sixth stubs and the ground plane to select at least one stub from among them to generate a parasitic resonance. Depending on the number of stubs selected and the relative magnitudes of the resonant frequencies and resonance depths of the parasitic and main resonances, radiation patterns with different orientations can be synthesized. In some examples, because the fifth and sixth stubs are relatively far from the first stub, the coupled feed from the first stub is weak, and their impact on the radiation pattern of the ring radiator is also small; they can be considered not to participate in the synthesis of the radiation pattern. The tuning circuit can control the electrical connection state between the second and third branches and the ground. Similarly, at least one of the second and third branches can be selected to generate parasitic resonance, thereby synthesizing radiation patterns with different orientations.

[0010] In another possible approach, the ring radiator can have multiple feed points, such as a first feed point and a second feed point. The first feed point is, for example, located on a first stub, and the second feed point is, for example, located on a fifth stub. In this case, the antenna structure includes two independently operating antenna elements. The two antenna elements can operate in different frequency bands, thereby extending the operating frequency range of the antenna structure. The second, third, and sixth stubs are fed by coupling from the first and / or fifth stubs. The tuning circuit can control the electrical connection state between the second, third, and sixth stubs and the ground. Similarly, at least one of the second, third, and sixth stubs can be selected to generate parasitic resonances, thereby synthesizing radiation patterns with different orientations. The tuning circuit can also control the electrical connection state between the first and fifth stubs and the feed source, so that at least one of the first and fifth stubs can be selected to generate the main parasitic resonance, thus realizing a dual-band antenna.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the second part further includes a fourth stub. The fourth stub is located between the fourth slot and the second grounding terminal. The first slot, third stub, fourth stub, fourth slot, fifth stub, third slot, sixth stub, fifth slot, second stub, and first stub are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor. In this case, the annular radiator includes the first slot, third slot, fourth slot, and fifth slot, as well as the first stub, second stub, third stub, fourth stub, fifth stub, and sixth stub. The feed terminal is, for example, located on the first stub. The second stub, third stub, fifth stub, and sixth stub are all fed by coupling from the first stub, directly or indirectly parasitic on the first stub. The tuning circuit can control the electrical connection state between the second stub, third stub, fifth stub, and sixth stub and the floor. Similarly, at least one of the second stub, third stub, fifth stub, and sixth stub can be selected to generate parasitic resonance, thereby synthesizing radiation patterns with different orientations.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second part further includes a fourth stub, and the slit structure includes a second gap. The fourth stub is located between the second gap and the second grounding terminal. The first gap, first stub, second stub, second gap, fourth stub, and third stub are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor. In this case, the annular radiator includes the first gap and the second gap, and also includes the first stub, the second stub, the third stub, and the fourth stub. The feed terminal is, for example, located on the first stub. The second stub, the third stub, and the fourth stub are all fed by coupling from the first stub and are directly or indirectly parasitic on the first stub. The tuning circuit can control the electrical connection state between the first stub, the second stub, the third stub, and the fourth stub and the floor. Similarly, at least one of the second stub, the third stub, and the fourth stub can be selected to generate parasitic resonance, and the relationship between the main resonant frequency and the parasitic resonant frequency, and the main resonant depth and the parasitic resonant depth can be adjusted to synthesize radiation patterns with different orientations.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first and second stubs are connected, and the third and fourth stubs are connected. In this case, because the first stub is located between the first grounding terminal and the first slot, and the second stub is located between the first grounding terminal and the slot structure, the first and second stubs can share the same grounding at the first grounding terminal. Because the third stub is located between the first slot and the second grounding terminal, and the fourth stub is located between the second slot and the second grounding terminal, the third and fourth stubs can share the same grounding at the second grounding terminal. This reduces the number of grounding terminals, simplifies the antenna structure, and lowers manufacturing costs.

[0014] In some embodiments, the length of the first branch is a first length L1, the physical length of the second branch is a second length L2, the physical length of the third branch is a third length L3, and the physical length of the fourth branch is a fourth length L4. The maximum length Lmax and the minimum length Lmin among the first length L1, second length L2, third length L3, and fourth length L4 are defined, with Lmax / Lmin < 3. In this case, the ratio of the physical length of the longest branch to the shortest branch in the branches that generate the main resonance and parasitic resonance is less than 3, and it can be considered that the physical lengths of the main branch and the parasitic branch in the ring radiator are close. Furthermore, the close physical lengths of the main branch and the parasitic branch in the ring radiator can enhance the effect of coupling power from the main branch to the parasitic branch.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first, second, third, and fourth branches have the same physical length. This enhances the coupling power supply effect from the main branch to the parasitic branch.

[0016] In some embodiments, the tuning circuit includes a first tuning branch. The first tuning branch is coupled between a second stub and a ground plane. The first tuning branch has a first switching state and a second switching state to control the electrical connection state between the second stub and the ground plane. In the first switching state, the second stub is in an active state and is used to generate a first parasitic resonance. In the second switching state, the second stub is in an inactive state. The center frequency of the first parasitic resonance is a first parasitic resonance frequency f11, and the first parasitic resonance frequency f11 has a first parasitic resonance depth a11. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the first parasitic resonance frequency f11.

[0017] In some embodiments, the tuning circuit further includes a second tuning branch. The second tuning branch is coupled between the third stub and the ground plane. The second tuning branch has a third switching state and a fourth switching state to control the electrical connection state between the third stub and the ground plane. In the third switching state, the third stub is in an active state and is used to generate the second parasitic resonance. In the fourth switching state, the third stub is in an inactive state. The center frequency of the second parasitic resonance is a second parasitic resonance frequency f12, and the second parasitic resonance frequency f12 has a second parasitic resonance depth a12. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the second parasitic resonance frequency f12.

[0018] In some embodiments, the end of the third branch away from the second ground terminal is disconnected from the ground, and the third branch is in an operational state. The third branch is used to generate a second parasitic resonance, the center frequency of which is a second parasitic resonance frequency f12, and the second parasitic resonance frequency f12 has a second parasitic resonance depth a12. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the second parasitic resonance frequency f12. The disconnected state is a special electrical connection state, where the end of the third branch away from the second ground terminal is open-circuited to the ground. In some examples, the disconnected state can be achieved by a tuning circuit. For example, the tuning element in the second tuning branch controls the disconnection between the third branch and the ground. In other examples, the disconnected state can also be achieved without any devices. For example, no devices are connected to the end of the third branch away from the second ground terminal.

[0019] In some embodiments, the tuning circuit further includes a third tuning branch. The third tuning branch is coupled between the fourth stub and the ground plane. The third tuning branch has a fifth switching state and a sixth switching state to control the electrical connection state between the fourth stub and the ground plane. In the fifth switching state, the fourth stub is in an active state and is used to generate a third parasitic resonance. In the sixth switching state, the fourth stub is in an inactive state. The center frequency of the third parasitic resonance is a third parasitic resonance frequency f13, and the third parasitic resonance frequency f13 has a third parasitic resonance depth a13. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the third parasitic resonance frequency f13.

[0020] In some embodiments, the antenna structure further includes a matching circuit. The matching circuit is used to couple between the feed terminal and the feed source. In this way, the matching circuit can help the antenna structure achieve impedance matching, reducing reflections and losses during signal transmission.

[0021] In some embodiments, the matching circuit further includes a first filter circuit. The first filter circuit is coupled between the first stub and the ground plane. The first stub is used to generate a first main resonance and a second main resonance. The center frequency of the first main resonance is the first main resonance frequency f01, and the center frequency of the second main resonance is the second main resonance frequency f02. The main resonance frequency f0 includes both the first main resonance frequency f01 and the second main resonance frequency f02. In this way, the first filter circuit can include branch circuits such as capacitors and inductors connected in series or in parallel, thereby combining with the first stub to realize multiple current paths, enabling the first stub to generate multiple main resonances, and thus allowing the ring radiator to operate in multiple frequency bands, such as the frequency band containing the first main resonance frequency f01 and the frequency band containing the second main resonance frequency f02.

[0022] In some embodiments, the antenna structure further includes a second filter circuit. The second filter circuit is coupled between the second stub and the ground plane. The second stub is used to generate a first parasitic resonator resonance and a second parasitic resonator resonance. The center frequency of the first parasitic resonator resonance is a first parasitic resonator frequency f111. The first parasitic resonator frequency f111 includes both the first parasitic resonator frequency f111 and the second parasitic resonator frequency f112. Similarly, the second filter circuit can cause the second stub to generate multiple parasitic resonances, thereby synthesizing radiation patterns with different orientations.

[0023] In some embodiments, the maximum value of the main resonant frequency f0 is f0max, and the minimum value of the main resonant frequency f0 is f0min. When the first tuning branch is in the first switching state, the first parasitic resonant frequency f11 satisfies 0.75×f0min<f11<1.33×f0max; when the first tuning branch is in the second switching state, the first parasitic resonant frequency f11 satisfies 0.75×f0min>f11 or f11<1.33×f0max. And / or, when the second tuning branch is in the third switching state, the second parasitic resonant frequency f12 satisfies 0.75×f0min<f12<1.33×f0max; when the second tuning branch is in the fourth switching state, the second parasitic resonant frequency f12 satisfies 0.75×f0min>f12 or f12<1.33×f0max. And / or, when the third tuning branch is in the fifth switching state, the third parasitic resonant frequency f13 satisfies 0.75×f0min<f13<1.33×f0max; when the third tuning branch is in the sixth switching state, the third parasitic resonant frequency f13 satisfies 0.75×f0min>f13 or f13<1.33×f0max. When the first parasitic resonant frequency f11, and / or the second parasitic resonant frequency f12, and / or the third parasitic resonant frequency f13 satisfies the above relationship, the second branch, and / or the third branch, and / or the fourth branch are in the working state, working together with the first branch to synthesize radiation patterns in different orientations. Otherwise, the second branch, and / or the third branch, and / or the fourth branch are in the non-working state.

[0024] In one possible approach, the first branch can generate only one main resonance, the center frequency of which is the main resonance frequency f0. In this case, f0max = f0min = f0.

[0025] In another possible approach, the first branch can generate two principal resonances, namely the first principal resonance and the second principal resonance. The center frequency of the first principal resonance is the first principal resonance frequency f01, and the center frequency of the second principal resonance is the second principal resonance frequency f02, where f01 < f02. In this case, f0max = f02, and f0min = f01.

[0026] In some embodiments, when the second stub, the third stub, and the fourth stub are all in the working state, the annular radiator is in the first state, 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0, 0.75×f0 < f12 < f0, 0.75×f12 < f13 < f12. And / or, when the second stub, the third stub, and the fourth stub are all in the working state, the annular radiator is in the second state, 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0, f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0, 0.75×f12 < f13 < f12. And / or, when the third stub is in the working state and the second stub and the fourth stub are both in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the third state, 0.75×f0 < f12 < f0. In this way, according to the different magnitude relationships between the first parasitic resonance frequency f11, the second parasitic resonance frequency f12, the third parasitic resonance frequency f13, and the main resonance frequency f0, the annular radiator can be in the first state, the second state, and / or the third state. And when the annular radiator is in the above three states, the orientation of the antenna structure pattern can be different.

[0027] In some embodiments, when the third stub is in the working state and the second stub and the fourth stub are both in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the third state, 0.75×f0 < f12 < f0, |a0 - a12| > 3dB. And / or, when the third stub is in the working state and the second stub and the fourth stub are both in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the fourth state, 0.75×f0 < f12 < f0; a0 < -6dB and a12 < -6dB, and / or, |a0 - a12| < 3dB. And / or, when the third stub is in the working state and the second stub and the fourth stub are both in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the fifth state, f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0; a0 < -6dB and a12 < -6dB, and / or, |a0 - a12| < 3dB. In this way, according to the different magnitude relationships between the second parasitic resonance frequency f12 and the main resonance frequency f0, and the different magnitude relationships between the second parasitic resonance depth a12 and the main resonance depth a0, the annular radiator can be in the third state, the fourth state, and / or the fifth state. Similarly, when the annular radiator is in the above three states, the orientation of the antenna structure pattern can be different.

[0028] In some embodiments, when the second stub is in the working state and the third and fourth stubs are both in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the second state, where 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0 and |a0 - a11| > 3 dB. And / or, when the second stub is in the working state and the third and fourth stubs are both in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the fifth state, where f0 < f11 < 1.33×f0; a0 < - 6 dB and a11 < - 6 dB, and / or, |a0 - a11| < 3 dB. And / or, when the second stub is in the working state and the third and fourth stubs are both in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the sixth state, where 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0; a0 < - 6 dB and a11 < - 6 dB, and / or, |a0 - a11| < 3 dB. In this way, according to the different magnitude relationships between the first parasitic resonance frequency f11 and the main resonance frequency f0, and the different magnitude relationships between the first parasitic resonance depth a11 and the main resonance depth a0, the annular radiator can be in the second state, the fifth state and / or the sixth state. Similarly, when the annular radiator is in the above three states, the orientation of the antenna structure pattern can be different.

[0029] In some embodiments, when the second stub is in the working state and the third stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the second state, where 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0. And / or, when the second stub is in the working state and the third stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the fourth state, where f0 < f11 < 1.33×f0. And / or, when the third stub is in the working state and the second stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the seventh state, where f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0. In this way, according to the different magnitude relationships between the first parasitic resonance frequency f11 and the main resonance frequency f0, or the different magnitude relationships between the second parasitic resonance frequency f12 and the main resonance frequency f0, the annular radiator can be in the second state, the fourth state and the seventh state. Similarly, when the annular radiator is in the above three states, the orientation of the antenna structure pattern can be different.

[0030] In some embodiments, when the second stub is in the working state and the third stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the second state, where 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0. And / or, when the third stub is in the working state and the second stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the fourth state, where f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0. And / or, when both the second stub and the third stub are in the working state, the annular radiator is in the seventh state, where 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0. In this way, according to the different magnitude relationships between the first parasitic resonance frequency f11, the second parasitic resonance frequency f12, and the main resonance frequency f0, the annular radiator can be in the second state, the fourth state, and / or the seventh state. Similarly, when the annular radiator is in the above three states, the orientation of the antenna structure pattern can be different. [[ID=]1]

[0031] In some embodiments, the tuning circuit further includes a fourth tuning branch. The fourth tuning branch is coupled between the first grounding end and the floor. The fourth tuning branch has a seventh switching state and an eighth switching state to control the electrical connection state between the first grounding end and the floor. The fourth tuning branch is configured to couple the first grounding end to the floor in the seventh switching state, enabling the first stub and the second stub to operate independently. The fourth tuning branch is configured to couple the first grounding end to the floor in the eighth switching state, enabling the first stub and the second stub to operate cooperatively. In this way, the fourth tuning branch can control whether the first grounding end is grounded. In some examples, the first stub and the second stub are connected. Disconnecting the electrical connection between the first grounding end and the floor by the fourth tuning circuit can be regarded as the physical length of the main stub being equivalent to the sum of the physical lengths of the original first stub and the second stub. In other examples, the first stub and the second stub are arranged at intervals. Disconnecting the electrical connection between the first grounding end and the floor by the fourth tuning circuit can change the way the first stub couples and feeds power to the second stub.

[0032] In some embodiments, when the second stub, the third stub, and the fourth stub are all in the working state, the annular radiator is in the first state, where f01 < f02. And / or, when the second stub and the third stub are in the working state and the fourth stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the second state, where f01 < f02, 0.75×f01 < f11 < f01, f02 < f12 < 1.33×f02, 0.75×f12 < f3 < f12. In this way, the first stub is connected to the first filtering circuit, and two different frequencies, namely the first main resonance and the second main resonance, can be generated. In the first state, the pattern of the antenna structure faces the vertical direction. In the second state, according to the different magnitude relationships between the first parasitic resonance frequency f11, the second parasitic resonance frequency f12, the third parasitic resonance frequency f13, and the second main resonance frequency f02, the pattern of the antenna structure faces a horizontal direction.

[0033] In some embodiments, when the second stub is in the working state and the third stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the second state, where 0.75×f01 < f111 < f01 < 0.75×f02 < f112 < f02. And / or, when the second stub is in the working state and the third stub is in the non - working state, the annular radiator is in the fourth state, where f01 < f02 < f11 < 1.33×f02. And / or, when the third stub is in the working state and the second stub is in the working state, the annular radiator is in the seventh state, where f01 < f02 < f11 < 1.33×f02, 0.75×f01 < f12 < f01 < f02. In this way, the first stub can generate two different frequencies, namely the first main resonance and the second main resonance. In the second state, the second stub is connected to the second filter circuit and can generate the first parasitic sub - resonance and the second parasitic sub - resonance. According to the different magnitude relationships between the main resonance frequency and the parasitic resonance frequency, the annular radiator can be in the second state, the fourth state, and / or the seventh state. Similarly, when the annular radiator is in the above three states, the orientation of the antenna structure pattern can be different.

[0034] In a second aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: a housing, and an antenna structure as provided in any one of the first aspects of the embodiments of the present application. Among them, the antenna structure is disposed on the housing. For example, the antenna structure is disposed inside the housing, such as in a cavity inside the housing. For example, the antenna structure is disposed on the housing, such as the housing being reused as a carrier board for the antenna structure. For example, a part of the antenna structure is the housing, such as a part of the housing being reused as the antenna structure.

[0035] In some embodiments, the electronic device is a smart watch with a dial pattern. The annular radiator of the antenna structure serves as at least a part of the housing. This electronic device has the same technical effects as the antenna structure provided in the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] In some embodiments, the slit structure includes a second slit, and the second part further includes a fourth stub. The fourth stub is located between the second slit and the second ground terminal. The first slit, the first stub, the second stub, the second slit, the fourth stub, and the third stub are arranged in sequence and circumferentially disposed around the ground plane. The vertical projection of the first slit on the dial pattern is located between the 4 - o'clock position and the 5 - o'clock position of the dial pattern, and the vertical projection of the second slit on the dial pattern is located between the 10 - o'clock position and the 11 - o'clock position of the dial pattern.

[0037] In some embodiments, the annular radiator further includes a third portion. A third slit is formed on the third portion, dividing the third portion to include a fifth branch and a sixth branch. The fifth branch and the second portion form a fourth slit, and the sixth branch and the second branch form a fifth slit. The fracture structure includes the third portion, the fourth slit, and the fifth slit. The first slit, the third branch, the fourth slit, the fifth branch, the sixth slit, the fifth slit, the second branch, and the first branch are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor. The vertical projection of the first slit onto the dial pattern is located at the 8 o'clock position, the vertical projection of the third slit onto the dial pattern is located at the 10 o'clock position, the vertical projection of the fourth slit onto the dial pattern is located at the 2 o'clock position, and the vertical projection of the fifth slit onto the dial pattern is located at the 4 o'clock position.

[0038] In some embodiments, the annular radiator further includes a third portion, and the second portion further includes a fourth branch. A third slit is formed on the third portion, dividing the third portion to include a fifth branch and a sixth branch. The fifth branch and the second portion form the fourth slit, and the sixth branch and the second branch form the fifth slit. The fracture structure includes the third portion, the fourth slit, and the fifth slit, with the fourth branch located between the second slit and the second grounding end. The first slit, the third branch, the fourth slit, the fifth branch, the third slit, the sixth slit, the fifth slit, the second branch, and the first branch are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor. The vertical projection of the first slit onto the dial pattern is located between the 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions; the vertical projection of the third slit onto the dial pattern is located between the 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock positions; the vertical projection of the fourth slit onto the dial pattern is located between the 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions; and the vertical projection of the fifth slit onto the dial pattern is located between the 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock positions.

[0039] When the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth slits are arranged as described above, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh states can be positioned in specific directions to meet the specific usage scenarios of the electronic device. For example, in the first state, the ring radiator's radiation pattern faces a vertical direction, perpendicular to the dial pattern.

In the seventh state, the ring radiator's radiation pattern faces both the vertical and third horizontal directions. Attached Figure Description

[0096] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0097] Hereinafter, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0098] The terms collinearity, symmetry (e.g., axial symmetry, or central symmetry), parallelism, perpendicularity, orthogonality, and similarity (e.g., same length, same width, etc.) mentioned in the embodiments of this application are all relative to the current technological level, and not absolute and strict mathematical definitions. Collinearity of three elements can be understood as the line connecting two elements, or its extension, intersecting with another element, or the closest distance to another element being approximately 2mm. In some embodiments, collinear elements may include, for example, structural components that realize a "feed terminal" or "ground terminal," such as protruding structures, springs, or spring clips on the inner surface of a conductive frame. A predetermined angular deviation may exist between two mutually parallel or perpendicular components. In some embodiments, the predetermined threshold may be less than or equal to a threshold of 1mm, for example, the predetermined threshold may be 0.5mm or 0.1mm. In some embodiments, the predetermined angle may be an angle within the range of ±10°, for example, a predetermined angular deviation of ±5°.

[0099] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "connection" shall be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" may be a fixed mechanical connection, a detachable mechanical connection, or an integral part; or, "connection" may be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0100] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "coupling" shall be interpreted broadly. For example, "coupling" can be a direct electrical connection, such as physical contact and electrical conduction between two components; it can also be understood as the electrical connection between different components in a circuit structure through physical lines such as copper foil or wires on a printed circuit board (PCB) to transmit electrical signals; or, "coupling" can be an indirect electrical connection between two components through an intermediate medium; or, "coupling" can be an electrical connection between two components in a non-contact manner, such as the electrical connection between two components using capacitive coupling to transmit electrical signals.

[0101] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the orientation in which the components are placed in the accompanying drawings.

[0102] In the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application, components are indicated by arrowed guide lines; parts are indicated by guide lines only.

[0103] The technical solutions provided in this application are applicable to electronic devices employing one or more of the following communication technologies. These communication protocols may include: Bluetooth (BT) communication technology, Global Positioning System (GPS) communication technology, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) communication technology, Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) communication technology, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) communication technology, Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G communication technology, and other future communication technologies. The electronic devices in this application can be mobile phones, tablets, laptops, smart home devices, smart wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, smart helmets), virtual reality (VR) electronic devices, augmented reality (AR) electronic devices, etc. The electronic devices can also be handheld devices with wireless communication capabilities, computing devices, other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, in-vehicle devices, electronic devices in 5G networks, or electronic devices in future evolved public land mobile networks (PLMNs), etc. This application does not limit these categories.

[0104] For ease of explanation, the following is based on... Figure 1 The illustrated electronic device 01 is a smartwatch. For example, the electronic device 01 may include a display screen 10, a bezel 11, and a rear cover 12. The display screen 10 may be disposed within the bezel 11, with the display surface of the display screen 10 located on the side opposite to the rear cover 12. The bezel 11 may be arranged around the circumference of the display screen 10. The display screen 10 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, or a micro (or mini) light-emitting diode (LED) display.

[0105] To protect the display screen 10, the electronic device 01 may further include a cover 13 covering the display surface of the display screen 10. The cover 13 may be made of a transparent material. This application does not limit the shape of the display screen 10; for example, the display surface of the display screen 10 may be circular or rectangular. The outline shapes of the cover 13, the bezel 11, and the rear shell 12 may match the outline shape of the display screen 10. For ease of explanation, the following description assumes that the outline shapes of the display screen 10, the cover 13, the bezel 11, and the rear shell 12 are circular.

[0106] In addition, the aforementioned electronic device 01 may also include, for example Figure 1 The circuit board 14 shown is, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB). In the thickness direction of the electronic device 01 ( Figure 1 In the z-direction (as shown in the image), the circuit board 14 and the frame 11 are at least partially offset. For example, relative to the circuit board 14, the frame 11 can be positioned close to the cover plate 13, i.e., the frame 11 can be located above the circuit board 14, thereby increasing the distance between the circuit board 14 and the frame 11. When at least a portion of the frame 11 serves as a radiator for transmitting and receiving signals, the radiating clearance of the radiator can be increased. Wherein, in the thickness direction (… Figure 1 The z-direction in the figure can be the direction from the rear shell 12 to the cover plate 13.

[0107] Based on this, the aforementioned electronic device 01 may further include components such as a battery, processor, sensor, microphone, and speaker. In some embodiments of this application, the circuit board 14, battery, processor, sensor, microphone, and speaker may be disposed between the display screen 10 and the back cover 12. The aforementioned frame 11 can provide support for the entire electronic device 01. In some embodiments of this application, the cover plate 13 and the back cover 12 respectively cover the upper and lower edges of the frame 11 to form the outer shell or housing of the electronic device 01. Alternatively, the frame 11 and the back cover 12 may be connected as a single integral part, and the cover plate 13 may be connected to the aforementioned single integral part to form the outer shell or housing of the electronic device 01. It should be understood that "outer shell or housing" may be used to refer to part or all of any one of the cover plate 13, the back cover 12, or the frame 11, or to any combination of the cover plate 13, the back cover 12, or the frame 11.

[0108] Example, Figure 1 The border 11 in the middle may include a conductive material. This conductive material is, for example, a metallic material. Or, as another example, Figure 1 The border 11 can include conductive and non-conductive materials. The non-conductive material is, for example, an insulating material, such as plastic or glass.

[0109] Example, Figure 1 The material of the rear shell 12 may include a non-conductive material. Alternatively, as another example, the rear shell 12 may include both conductive and non-conductive materials. After the frame 11 is connected to the rear shell 12, the portion of the frame 11 made of conductive material and the portion of the rear shell 12 made of conductive material may be insulated from each other.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the display surface of the display screen 10 is used to display the dial pattern 15. The dial pattern 200 includes positions at 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, and 12 o'clock. It should be understood that the above "position" refers to the position area composed of all positions with a deviation of less than 15° from that position.

[0111] For ease of explanation, in Figure 2 An xyz coordinate axis is established. The xy plane is parallel to the plane containing circuit board 14, the x-direction points towards the 3 o'clock position on the dial, the y-direction points towards the 12 o'clock position, and the z-direction is perpendicular to the plane containing display screen 10. The z-direction is called the vertical direction z, the x-direction is called the first horizontal direction x, and the y-direction is called the second horizontal direction y. The coordinate system definitions in subsequent figures are similar and will not be repeated.

[0112] Based on this, in some embodiments of this application, the aforementioned electronic device 01 further includes, for example: Figure 3A The antenna structure 20 shown may include a ring radiator 201, on which a feed terminal F and a ground terminal are disposed. The feed terminal F is used to connect to a feed source. The antenna structure also includes a ground plane 202, and a gap is provided between the ground plane 202 and at least a portion of the ring radiator 201. The ground terminal is used to connect to the ground plane 202, for example, a first ground terminal G1.

[0113] This application does not limit the working scenario of the antenna structure. To facilitate the explanation of the orientation of the radiation pattern, the antenna structure is described using a watch as an example and the watch face pattern as a reference.

[0114] In the embodiments of this application, "antenna" and "antenna structure" refer to the same concept. The use of "antenna" emphasizes the description of the electromagnetic performance of the antenna structure, while the use of "antenna structure" emphasizes the description of the antenna's mechanical performance. The mechanical-electromagnetic field coupling of the antenna determines that its electromagnetic performance is closely related to its mechanical structure. A radiator is a device in the antenna structure used to receive / transmit electromagnetic wave radiation. In some cases, "antenna" is narrowly understood as a radiator, which converts guided wave energy from the transmitter into radio waves, or converts radio waves into guided wave energy, for radiating and receiving radio waves. The modulated high-frequency current energy (or guided wave energy) generated by the transmitter is transmitted to the transmitting radiator via a feed line, where it is converted into electromagnetic wave energy of a certain polarization and radiated in the desired direction. The receiving radiator converts electromagnetic wave energy of a certain polarization from a specific direction in space back into modulated high-frequency current energy, which is then transmitted to the receiver input via a feed line.

[0115] This application does not limit the arrangement of the ring radiator 201; for ease of explanation, the following will all use the following method. Figure 1 The conductive metal portion in the bezel 11 shown can be arranged around the display screen 10 to form a shape such as Figure 3A The following description uses the annular radiator 201 as an example. In one embodiment, as shown... Figure 3A As shown, the frame 11 is made of metal, and at least a portion of the frame 11 is reused as a ring radiator 201. For example, the frame 11 is reused as a ring radiator. Alternatively, one or more portions of the frame 11 may be reused as a ring radiator. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 3B As shown, the frame 11 is made of non-metallic material, and the annular radiator 201 is disposed inside the frame 11. For example, the annular radiator 201 can be in the form of a patch antenna, attached to the inner side of the frame 11. For instance, the outline shape of the annular radiator 201 can be as follows: Figure 3A The annular shape shown may also be a rectangular or polygonal ring; this application does not limit the specific type. For ease of explanation, the following description uses an annular radiator 201 as an example.

[0116] In this application embodiment, "ground 202" can refer to at least a portion of any grounding layer, ground plane, or grounding metal layer within the electronic device 01 (e.g., a smartwatch), or at least a portion of any combination of the aforementioned grounding layers, ground planes, or grounding components. Ground 202 may include one or more of the following: a grounding layer of the circuit board 14 of the electronic device 01, a grounding metal layer formed by a metal film beneath the display screen 10, a conductive grounding layer of the battery, and conductive or metallic components, such as flexible circuit boards, electrically connected to the aforementioned grounding layers / ground planes / grounding metal layers. Any of the aforementioned grounding layers, ground planes, or grounding metal layers are made of conductive materials. In one embodiment, the conductive material may be any of the following: copper, aluminum, stainless steel, brass and their alloys, copper foil on an insulating substrate, aluminum foil on an insulating substrate, gold foil on an insulating substrate, silver-plated copper, silver-plated copper foil on an insulating substrate, silver foil on an insulating substrate and tin-plated copper, cloth impregnated with graphite powder, a graphite-coated substrate, a copper-plated substrate, a brass-plated substrate, and an aluminum-plated substrate. Those skilled in the art will understand that the grounding layer / grounding plate / grounding metal layer may also be made of other conductive materials.

[0117] Here, grounding refers to coupling with the aforementioned floor 202 (or ground) in any way. In some embodiments, grounding can be achieved through physical grounding, such as through a partial structural component of the ring radiator 201 to achieve physical grounding at a specific location on the ring radiator 201 (or, physical ground). In some embodiments, grounding can be achieved through device grounding, such as through devices such as capacitors / inductors / resistors connected in series or parallel (or, device ground). The aforementioned series or parallel capacitors / inductors / resistors can be referred to as an impedance network, which can perform at least one of impedance matching and filtering for the antenna.

[0118] In this application, the capacitor can be understood as lumped capacitance and / or distributed capacitance. Lumped capacitance refers to a capacitive component, such as a capacitor element; distributed capacitance (or distributed capacitance) refers to the equivalent capacitance formed by two conductive components separated by a certain gap. The inductor can be understood as lumped inductance and / or distributed inductance. Lumped inductance refers to an inductive component, such as an inductor element; distributed inductance (or distributed inductance) refers to the equivalent inductance formed through a conductive component of a certain length, such as the equivalent inductance formed by a conductor due to bending or rotation.

[0119] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3A As shown, the floor 202 may include a circuit board 14. Specifically, it may include a metal layer in the circuit board 14. In some embodiments, such as Figure 3A As shown, floor 202 may also include a battery. In some embodiments, such as Figure 3AAs shown, the floor 202 may also include metal components such as flexible circuit boards. In some embodiments, such as Figure 3A As shown, the floor 202 may be composed of a circuit board 14, a battery, and a flexible circuit board. It should be understood that the floor 202 may have an irregular shape. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 3A As shown, the floor 202 (e.g., including circuit board 14) may have a generally L-shaped structure. In some embodiments, such as Figure 3A As shown, the floor 202 can have a generally I-shaped or U-shaped structure. An irregularly shaped floor 202 can provide space for placing other structural components and / or parts inside the electronic device 01. In some embodiments, the floor 202 can also have a generally circular, square, or rectangular structure, thereby facilitating the grounding of structural components and / or parts inside the electronic device.

[0120] In one implementation, the circuit board 14 can be a PCB, for example, the circuit board 14 can be an 8-layer, 10-layer, or 12-14-layer board with 8, 10, 12, 13, or 14 layers of conductive material, or components separated and electrically insulated by dielectric or insulating layers such as glass fiber, polymer, etc. In one embodiment, the circuit board includes a dielectric substrate, a ground layer, and a trace layer, the trace layer and the ground layer being electrically connected through vias. For example, the ground plane 202 can be formed by photolithography (MASK) on a metal layer on the surface of any dielectric substrate in the circuit board 14. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of this application, it can be provided with... Figure 1 The circuit board 14 shown has a metal layer on the side closest to the display screen 10, so that the metal layer serves as... Figure 3A The floor 202 is shown. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the edge of the circuit board 14 can be considered as the edge of its floor 202.

[0121] In this embodiment, the feed terminal F and the ground terminal can be considered as a segment of the radiator coupled to the ring radiator 201, the feed circuit (not shown in the figure), and the ground plane 202. The term "terminal" in this embodiment should not be narrowly interpreted as necessarily an endpoint or end physically disconnected from other radiators; it can also be considered as a point or segment on a continuous radiator. In some embodiments, "terminal" may include a coupling region on the antenna radiator that couples to other conductive structures. For example, the feed terminal may be a connection region on the antenna radiator coupled to or connected to a portion of the feed circuit (e.g., a region facing a portion of the feed circuit).

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the antenna structure may further include a first slot D1 and a second slot D2. The first slot D1, the second slot D2, and the first ground terminal G1 divide the annular radiator 201 to include a first stub 2011, a second stub 2012, and a third stub 2013. The feed terminal F is located on the first stub 2011. The first stub 2011 is the main stub, and the second stub 2012 and the third stub 2013 are parasitic stubs. The first ground terminal G1 is located near the second stub 2012 and the first stub 2011, and the second stub 2012 is parasitic on the first stub 2011 through the first ground terminal G1. The first slot D1 is located near the third stub 2013 and the first stub 2011, and the third stub 2013 is parasitic on the first stub 2011 through the first slot D1.

[0123] In this context, a main branch refers to a branch from which the signal directly originates from the feed source, while a parasitic branch refers to a branch from which the signal is coupled with other branches. Parasitic branches can help the main branch achieve ideal bandwidth, beamforming, or efficiency. In one embodiment, a second branch 2012 is magnetically parasitic on a first branch 2011. Magnetic parasitism means that the parasitic branch and the main branch generate magnetic field coupling, and the main branch supplies power to the parasitic branch through this magnetic field coupling. For example, magnetic parasitism can be simply understood as the main branch and the parasitic branch's proximal ends being coupled parasitically through a common ground. In one embodiment, a third branch 2013 is electrically parasitic on a first branch 2011. Electrical parasitism means that the parasitic branch and the main branch generate electric field coupling, and the main branch supplies power to the parasitic branch through this electric field coupling. For example, electrical parasitism can be simply understood as the main branch's proximal end and the parasitic branch's proximal end being fed through a gap coupling. In some embodiments, there is both electric and magnetic field coupling between the main branch and the parasitic branch.

[0124] It is understood that "proximity end" refers to the structurally adjacent ends of two branches or radiators. For example, a first grounding terminal G1 divides the annular radiator 201 to include a first branch 2011 and a second branch 2012. The end of the first branch 2011 near the first grounding terminal G1 and the end of the second branch 2012 near the first grounding terminal G1 are proximity ends. For example, a second gap D2 divides the annular radiator 201 to include a first branch 2011 and a third branch 2013. The end of the first branch 2011 near the second gap D2 and the end of the third branch 2013 near the second gap D2 are proximity ends. In some embodiments, the annular radiator is composed of a first branch and a second branch. The first gap, the first branch, the second gap, and the second branch are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor. Therefore, the ends of the first branch near the first gap and the second branch near the first gap are proximity ends, and the ends of the first branch near the second gap and the second branch near the second gap are also proximity ends.

[0125] It is understandable that parasitic coupling via a common ground can be implemented in various ways. For example, parasitic coupling via a common ground could involve connecting the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 into a single unit and grounding at the connection point. Alternatively, parasitic coupling via a common ground could involve connecting the proximal ends of the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 via a wire and grounding them. Another example is parasitic coupling via a common ground could involve grounding the proximal ends of the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 separately.

[0126] This application does not limit the number of branches included in the annular radiator 201, but the annular radiator must include at least two branches. For example, the annular radiator includes one main branch and one parasitic branch. Figure 4 As shown, the main branch is, for example, the first branch 2011, and the parasitic branch is, for example, the second branch 2012 or the third branch 2013. For example, the annular radiator includes one main branch and two parasitic branches. Figure 4 As shown, the main branch is, for example, the first branch 2011, and the parasitic branches are, for example, the second branch 2012 and the third branch 2013. For example, the annular radiator includes one main branch and three parasitic branches. Continuing as... Figure 4 As shown, the antenna structure may also include a second ground terminal G2, and the ring radiator 201 may also include a fourth branch 2014. The fourth branch 2014 is parasitic on the third branch 2013 and indirectly parasitic on the first branch 2011.

[0127] In this embodiment, the main branch (first branch 2011) is used to generate the main resonance, and the center frequency of the main resonance is the main resonance frequency f0. At least one of the parasitic branches (second branch 2012, third branch 2013 and fourth branch 2014) is used to generate the parasitic resonance, and the center frequency of the parasitic resonance is the parasitic resonance frequency f1.

[0128] Based on this, an excitation is applied to the feed terminal F. Depending on the magnitude and direction of the current on the main stub and parasitic stub, the orientation of the antenna pattern varies. The antenna pattern is also called the radiation pattern. An antenna pattern is a graph showing the relative field strength (normalized modulus) of the antenna radiation field at a certain distance from the antenna, varying with direction. It is usually represented by two mutually perpendicular planar antenna patterns passing through the antenna's maximum radiation direction. Antenna patterns typically have multiple radiation beams. The radiation beam with the highest radiation intensity is called the main lobe, and the remaining radiation beams are called side lobes. Among the side lobes, the side lobe in the opposite direction to the main lobe is also called the back lobe. The direction of the main lobe is also the "direction of the pattern" and "maximum radiation direction" in the embodiments of this application. A pattern that can only point in a specific direction is called a "fixed beam pattern."

[0129] Understandably, when the antenna pattern points towards the signal source, the antenna can concentrate energy in that direction, thereby maximizing signal strength, ensuring stable signal transmission, reducing signal attenuation and distortion, and improving overall communication quality. However, when the antenna pattern can only point in a specific direction, electronic devices equipped with that antenna cannot adapt to application scenarios with frequently changing operating environments.

[0130] In order to make the antenna pattern able to adapt to the frequent changes in the operating environment of electronic devices, such as Figure 5 As shown, the antenna structure also includes a tuning circuit 203. The tuning circuit 203 is coupled between the ring radiator 201 and the ground plane 202. The tuning circuit 203 controls the electrical connection state between at least one branch of the ring radiator 201 and the ground plane 202, thereby adjusting the relative magnitude of the parasitic resonant frequency f1 and the main resonant frequency f0, and / or, adjusting the relative magnitude of the main resonant depth a0 and the parasitic resonant depth a1.

[0131] For example, the parasitic resonant frequency f1 can be adjusted to be before the main resonant frequency f0 (i.e., f1 < f0), or after the main resonant frequency f0 (i.e., f1 > f0). As another example, the main resonant depth a0 and the parasitic resonance a1 can be adjusted to be close (i.e., a0 < -6dB and a1 < -6dB, or |a0 - a1| < 3dB), or the main resonant depth a0 and the parasitic resonance a1 can be far apart (i.e., |a0 - a1| > 3dB).

[0132] This application does not limit the operating frequency band of the antenna structure. The operating frequency band of the antenna structure can be adjusted by adjusting the electrical length of the main branch. For ease of explanation, this application will use an example where the antenna structure operates in at least one of the GPS L1 band (1575.42MHz ± 1.023MHz) or L5 band (1176.45MHz ± 1.023MHz).

[0133] Resonance can be understood as the phenomenon where an antenna resonates with electromagnetic waves within a specific frequency range. For example, when the frequency of an external electromagnetic wave matches the antenna's natural frequency, the antenna absorbs more electromagnetic energy and converts it into current or voltage. Within this frequency range, the antenna's absorption and radiation efficiency, as well as its energy conversion efficiency, are at their highest. This specific frequency range is also called the resonant frequency band. The strongest point of resonance within the resonant frequency band is the center frequency of the resonance. The resonant frequency band of the main branch is the operating frequency band.

[0134] The resonant frequency and resonance depth are reflected in the antenna's return loss curve. The horizontal axis of the return loss curve represents frequency, and the vertical axis represents the return loss value. From the return loss curve, we can deduce the variation in return loss of the antenna structure within a frequency range. Within the frequency band where the antenna structure resonates, the return loss curve dips downwards; therefore, the return loss value is also called the resonance depth. Observing the return loss curve can also help us understand the resonant characteristics of the antenna structure.

[0135] Return loss can be understood as the ratio of the signal power reflected back to the antenna port after passing through the antenna circuit to the transmit power at the antenna port. The smaller the reflected signal, the larger the signal radiated into space through the antenna, and the higher the antenna's radiation efficiency. Conversely, the larger the reflected signal, the smaller the signal radiated into space through the antenna, and the lower the antenna's radiation efficiency. Return loss can be represented by the S11 parameter, which is typically negative. A smaller S11 parameter indicates lower antenna return loss and higher radiation efficiency; a larger S11 parameter indicates higher antenna return loss and lower radiation efficiency.

[0136] In some embodiments, the relationship between the parasitic resonant frequency f1 and the main resonant frequency f0 determines the relationship between the current phase of the parasitic stub and the current phase of the main stub. The relationship between the parasitic resonant depth a1 and the main resonant depth a0 determines the relationship between the current amplitude of the parasitic stub and the current amplitude of the main stub. When the current amplitudes of the parasitic stub and the main stub are equal and their phases are opposite, the radiation pattern of the antenna structure faces the vertical direction. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the toroidal surface of the ring radiator. When the current amplitudes of the parasitic stub and the main stub are unequal and their phases are the same, the radiation pattern of the antenna structure faces the horizontal direction. The horizontal direction is parallel to the toroidal surface of the ring radiator.

[0137] In this way, by controlling the electrical connection between the parasitic stub and the ground plane through the tuning circuit, the relative position of the parasitic resonant frequency f1 and the main resonant frequency f0 can be adjusted, thereby regulating the different current distributions in the parasitic stub and the main stub. Superimposing the radiation patterns of the main stub and the parasitic stub allows for the synthesis of radiation patterns with different orientations, enabling the antenna structure's radiation pattern to face the signal transceiver, adapting to application scenarios where the relative position of the antenna structure and the signal transceiver changes.

[0138] The embodiments of this application do not limit the position of the tuning circuit on the branch. For ease of explanation, the drawings illustrate the connection between the tuning circuit and the end of the branch as an example. The embodiments of this application do not limit the number of tuning branches of the tuning circuit 203 coupled between the annular radiator 201 and the floor 202. In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figure 5, the following description will use the example that the tuning circuit 203 may include: a first tuning branch 2031, a second tuning branch 2032, and a third tuning branch 2033.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first tuning branch 2031 is coupled between a second stub 2012 and a floor 202. The first tuning branch 2031 has a first switching state and a second switching state to control the electrical connection state between the second stub 2012 and the floor 202. For example, in the first switching state, the second stub 2012 is in an active state and is used to generate a first parasitic resonance. In the second switching state, the second stub 2012 is in a non-active state. The center frequency of the first parasitic resonance is a first parasitic resonance frequency f11, and the first parasitic resonance frequency f11 has a first parasitic resonance depth a11. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the first parasitic resonance frequency f11.

[0140] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second tuning branch 2032 is coupled between the third stub 2013 and the floor 202. The second tuning branch 2032 has a third switching state and a fourth switching state to control the electrical connection state between the third stub 2013 and the floor 202. For example, in the third switching state, the third stub 2013 is in an active state and is used to generate the second parasitic resonance. In the fourth switching state, the third stub 2013 is in an inactive state. The center frequency of the second parasitic resonance is the second parasitic resonance frequency f12, which has a second parasitic resonance depth a12. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the second parasitic resonance frequency f12.

[0141] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the third tuning branch 2033 is coupled between the fourth stub 2014 and the ground plane 202. The third tuning branch 2033 has a fifth switching state and a sixth switching state to control the electrical connection state between the fourth stub 2014 and the ground plane 202. For example, in the fifth switching state, the fourth stub 2014 is in an active state and is used to generate the third parasitic resonance. In the sixth switching state, the fourth stub 2014 is in an inactive state. The center frequency of the third parasitic resonance is the third parasitic resonance frequency f13, and the third parasitic resonance frequency f13 has a third parasitic resonance depth a13. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the third parasitic resonance frequency f13.

[0142] Based on this, the structure of the tuning circuit 203 and the working principle of the tuning circuit 203 in adjusting the orientation of the antenna pattern are illustrated with examples.

[0143] like Figure 5 As shown, the inductance of the first tuning branch 2031 is 15nH, the inductance of the second tuning branch 2032 is 15nH, and the inductance of the third tuning branch 2033 is 16nH. Combined with... Figure 6A and Figure 7 In (A), f12 < f0, the third stub 2013 is parasitic before the first stub 2011, and the third stub 2013 and the first stub 2011 generate currents in the same direction. f11 < f0, the second stub 2012 is parasitic before the first stub 2011, and the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 generate currents in the same direction (e.g., clockwise). f13 < f12, the fourth stub 2014 is parasitic before the third stub 2013, and the third stub 2013 and the fourth stub 2014 generate currents in the same direction (e.g., clockwise). At this time, the radiation pattern of the antenna structure is oriented perpendicular to the ring radiator 201.

[0144] like Figure 5 As shown, the inductance of the first tuning branch 2031 is 12nH, the inductance of the second tuning branch 2032 is 10nH, and the inductance of the third tuning branch 2033 is 12nH. Combined with... Figure 6B and Figure 7In (B), f0 < f12, the third stub 2013 is parasitic after the first stub 2011, and the third stub 2013 and the first stub 2011 generate currents in opposite directions. f11 < f0, the second stub 2012 is parasitic before the first stub 2011, and the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 generate currents in the same direction (e.g., clockwise). f13 < f12, the fourth stub 2014 is parasitic before the third stub 2013, and the third stub 2013 and the fourth stub 2014 generate currents in the same direction (e.g., counterclockwise). Since a0 and a12 are far apart, the current amplitudes on the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 are greater than the current amplitudes on the third stub 2013 and the fourth stub 2014. At this point, it can be understood that the radiation pattern of the antenna structure is oriented parallel to the ring radiator 201 and points in the direction of the first stub 2011.

[0145] Under the influence of the tuning circuit, when the first tuning branch is in the first switching state, the first parasitic resonant frequency f11 satisfies 0.75×f0min<f11<1.33×f0max; when the first tuning branch is in the second switching state, the first parasitic resonant frequency f11 satisfies 0.75×f0min>f11 or f11<1.33×f0max. And / or, when the second tuning branch is in the third switching state, the second parasitic resonant frequency f12 satisfies 0.75×f0min<f12<1.33×f0max; when the second tuning branch is in the fourth switching state, the second parasitic resonant frequency f12 satisfies 0.75×f0min>f12 or f12<1.33×f0max. And / or, when the third tuning branch is in the fifth switching state, the third parasitic resonant frequency f13 satisfies 0.75×f0min<f13<1.33×f0max; when the third tuning branch is in the sixth switching state, the third parasitic resonant frequency f13 satisfies 0.75×f0min>f13 or f13<1.33×f0max. The maximum value of the main resonant frequency f0 is f0max, and the minimum value of the main resonant frequency f0 is f0min.

[0146] In other words, when the parasitic resonant frequency f1 and the main resonant frequency f0 satisfy the above relationship, the corresponding parasitic stub that generates the parasitic resonant frequency f1 is in a working state. When the parasitic resonant frequency f1 and the main resonant frequency f0 do not satisfy the above relationship, the corresponding parasitic stub that generates the parasitic resonant frequency f1 is in a non-working state.

[0147] In one possible implementation, the first branch may generate only one main resonance, the center frequency of which is the main resonance frequency f0. In this case, f0max = f0min = f0.

[0148] In another possible implementation, the first branch can generate two main resonances, namely a first main resonance and a second main resonance. The center frequency of the first main resonance is the first main resonance frequency f01, and the center frequency of the second main resonance is the second main resonance frequency f02, where f01 < f02. In this case, f0max = f02, and f0min = f01.

[0149] The antenna structure 20 described above can also be implemented in many other ways. In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 or Figure 10 As shown, an annular radiator 201 is arranged circumferentially around the floor 202. A first gap D1 and a slit structure are formed on the annular radiator 201. The first gap D1 and the slit structure divide the annular radiator 201, such that the annular radiator 201 includes a first portion 201A and a second portion 201B. The slit structure in embodiments of this application may include a gap, or it may include a combination of a gap and a radiator. For example, as... Figure 8 As shown, the fracture structure includes a second gap D2. For example, as... Figure 9 or Figure 10 As shown, the fracture structure includes a third part 201C, a fourth gap D4, and a fifth gap D5.

[0150] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first grounding terminal G1 can be disposed on the first part 201A, and the second grounding terminal G2 can be disposed on the second part 201B. The first part 201A may include a first branch 2011 and a second branch 2012, the first branch 2011 being located between the first grounding terminal G1 and the first gap D1, and the second branch 2012 being located between the first grounding terminal G1 and the second gap D2. The second part 201B includes a third branch 2013, the third branch 2013 being located between the first gap D1 and the second grounding terminal G2.

[0151] In some examples, continue as Figure 8 As shown, the second part 201B also includes a fourth branch 2014, and the fracture structure includes a second gap D2. The fourth branch 2014 is located between the second gap D2 and the second grounding terminal G2. The first gap D1, the first branch 2011, the second branch 2012, the second gap D2, the fourth branch 2014, and the third branch 2013 are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor 202.

[0152] In some examples, such as Figure 9As shown, the annular radiator also includes a third part 201C. A third slit D3 is provided on the third part 201C, dividing it into a fifth branch 2015 and a sixth branch 2016. The fifth branch 2015 and the second part 201B form a fourth slit D4, and the sixth branch 2016 and the second branch 2012 form a fifth slit D5. The first slit D1, the third branch 2013, the fourth slit D4, the fifth branch 2015, the third slit D3, the sixth branch 2016, the fifth slit D5, the second branch 2012, and the first branch 2011 are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor 202.

[0153] In some examples, such as Figure 10 As shown, the second part 202B also includes a fourth branch 2014. The fourth branch 2014 is located between the fourth gap D4 and the second grounding terminal G2. The first gap D1, the third branch 2013, the fourth branch 2014, the fourth gap D4, the fifth branch 2015, the third gap D3, the sixth branch 2016, the fifth gap D5, the second branch 2012, and the first branch 2011 are arranged sequentially and circumferentially around the floor 202.

[0154] Based on the working principle of the tuning circuit 203 adjusting the antenna pattern orientation, in some embodiments, the length of the first stub 2011 is a first length L1, the physical length of the second stub 2012 is a second length L2, the physical length of the third stub 2013 is a third length L3, and the physical length of the fourth stub 2014 is a fourth length L4. The maximum length Lmax and the minimum length Lmin among the first length L1, second length L2, third length L3, and fourth length L4 are Lmax / Lmin < 3. In other embodiments, Lmax / Lmin < 2.5, or Lmax / Lmin < 2, and Lmax / Lmin < 1.5. In some embodiments, the physical lengths of the first stub 2011, second stub 2012, third stub 2013, and fourth stub 2014 are the same. In this way, the physical lengths of the main stub and the parasitic stub are close to or equal, which can enhance the coupling feeding effect from the main stub to the parasitic stub.

[0155] It is understandable that the physical length and electrical length of a stub or radiator are related. When the physical lengths of two stubs or radiators are close to or equal, it is easier to tune their electrical lengths to be close to or equal, thereby bringing their resonant frequencies closer together and allowing them to be superimposed in pattern synthesis. It should be understood that multiple stubs or radiators with close to or equal physical lengths have a similar effect.

[0156] Based on the above antenna structure, to illustrate the practical application significance of radiation pattern orientation adjustment, this application provides an application scenario. A user wears a smartwatch (electronic device 01), and the watch face of the electronic device 01 worn on the user's arm 100 is vertical. The signal source of the smartwatch is typically a satellite, and the signal source direction is typically the zenith direction. The user... Figure 11 As shown in (A), in active postures such as holding the watch horizontally, raising the wrist, or cycling, the direction perpendicular to the dial (third direction z) points towards the zenith. Users... Figure 11 As shown in (B), in running and arm-swinging postures, the 6 o'clock direction (the opposite direction of the second direction y) points towards the zenith. (User, as...) Figure 11 As shown in (C), in a walking posture with arms hanging down, when the user wears the smartwatch (electronic device 01) on their left hand, the 9 o'clock position (the opposite direction of the first direction x) points to the zenith; when the user wears the smartwatch (electronic device 01) on their right hand, the 3 o'clock position (the first direction x) points to the zenith. In this scenario, discuss the orientation of the antenna pattern.

[0157] To adapt to the above application scenarios, the ring radiator can be in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and / or seventh state. When the ring radiator is in the first state, its radiation pattern faces the vertical direction, which is perpendicular to the dial pattern. When the ring radiator is in the second state, its radiation pattern faces the first horizontal direction, which points to the 6 o'clock position on the dial pattern. When the ring radiator is in the third state, its radiation pattern faces both the second and third horizontal directions, with the second horizontal direction pointing to the 9 o'clock position and the third horizontal direction pointing to the 3 o'clock position on the dial pattern. When the ring radiator is in the fourth state, its radiation pattern faces the second horizontal direction. When the ring radiator is in the fifth state, its radiation pattern faces the third horizontal direction. When the ring radiator is in the sixth state, its radiation pattern faces the fourth horizontal direction, which points to the 8 o'clock position on the dial pattern. When the ring radiator is in the seventh state, its radiation pattern faces both the vertical and third horizontal directions.

[0158] In a possible implementation of the first antenna structure provided in this application, the vertical projection of the first slot onto the dial pattern is located between the 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock positions on the dial pattern, and the vertical projection of the second slot onto the dial pattern is located between the 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock positions on the dial pattern. The ring radiator can be in a first state, a second state, and / or a third state.

[0159] In one possible implementation, in the first state, the first branch 2011, the second branch 2012, the third branch 2013, and the fourth branch 2014 are all in an operational state. The inductance of the first tuning branch 2031 is 15nH, the inductance of the second tuning branch 2032 is 15nH, and the inductance of the third tuning branch 2033 is 16nH. For example... Figure 6A As shown, 0.75×f0<f11<f0, 0.75×f0<f12<f0, 0.75×f12<f13<f12. (As...) Figure 7 As shown in (A), the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 generate clockwise current, while the third branch 2013 and the fourth branch 2014 generate counterclockwise current.

[0160] In the second state, the first branch 2011, the second branch 2012, the third branch 2013, and the fourth branch 2014 are all in the working state. The inductance of the first tuning branch 2031 is 12nH, the inductance of the second tuning branch 2032 is 10nH, and the inductance of the third tuning branch 2033 is 12nH. For example... Figure 6B As shown, 0.75×f0<f11<f0, f0<f12<1.33×f0, 0.7×f12<f13<f12. (As...) Figure 7 As shown in (B), the first branch 2011, the second branch 2012, the third branch 2013 and the fourth branch 2014 all generate clockwise current.

[0161] In the third state, the first branch 2011 and the third branch 2013 are in the working state, while the second branch 2012 and the fourth branch 2014 are both in the non-working state. The first tuning branch 2031 is short-circuited, the inductance of the second tuning branch 2032 is 20nH, and the third tuning branch 2033 is short-circuited. For example... Figure 6C As shown, 0.75 × f0 < f12 < f0. (As...) Figure 7 As shown in (C), the first branch 2011 and the third branch 2013 generate clockwise current.

[0162] It should be noted that, in cases such as Figure 7 In the current direction diagram shown in (A), the arrow indicates the direction of the current on the branch. Solid branches are branches in the working state, and hollow branches are branches in the non-working state.

[0163] In another possible implementation, in the first state, the first branch 2011, the second branch 2012, the third branch 2013, and the fourth branch 2014 are all in an operational state. The first tuning branch 2031 is open, the second tuning branch 2032 is open, and the third tuning branch 2033 is open. Figure 6AAs shown, 0.75×f0<f11<f0, 0.75×f0<f12<f0, 0.75×f12<f13<f12. The current direction is as follows. Figure 7 As shown in (A) in the diagram.

[0164] In the second state, the first branch 2011, the second branch 2012, the third branch 2013, and the fourth branch 2014 are all in the working state. The first tuning branch 2031 is open, the second tuning branch 2032 is open, and the third tuning branch 2033 is short-circuited. For example... Figure 6B As shown, 0.75×f0<f11<f0, f0<f12<1.33×f0, 0.7×f12<f13<f12. The current direction is as follows. Figure 7 As shown in (B) in the diagram.

[0165] In the third state, the first branch 2011 and the third branch 2013 are in the working state, while the second branch 2012 and the fourth branch 2014 are both in the non-working state. The first tuning branch 2031 is short-circuited, the second tuning branch 2032 is short-circuited, and the third tuning branch 2033 is open-circuited. For example... Figure 6C As shown, 0.75 × f0 < f12 < f0. The current direction is as follows. Figure 7 As shown in (C) in the diagram.

[0166] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the tuning branch is used to control the electrical connection state between at least one branch of the ring radiator and the ground. The switching state of the tuning branch can be open circuit, short circuit, having a certain capacitance value, or having a certain inductance value. Specifically, an open circuit can be equivalent to a switch being off, or equivalent to a capacitance value less than 1pF, or equivalent to an inductance value greater than 20nH. A short circuit can be equivalent to grounding, or equivalent to a resistance value equal to 0Ω, or equivalent to an inductance value less than 2nH.

[0167] Understandably, when the electrical connection state of the tuning branch is only open or short-circuited, the tuning branch may only include switching elements, such as pin diodes, single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches, single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches, etc. When the electrical connection state of the tuning branch is a certain capacitance and / or inductance value, the tuning branch may be a combination circuit composed of capacitors and / or inductors, and the electrical connection state is adjusted by switching different circuits. In some examples, the capacitor may be a variable capacitor, and the inductor may be a variable inductor, changing the electrical connection state of the tuning branch by adjusting the resistance values ​​of the capacitor and inductor.

[0168] In the above embodiments, the second tuning branch 2032 is in an open-circuit state in the first, second, and / or third states. Therefore, in some examples, the second tuning branch 2032 can be omitted. For example, Figure 12 As shown, the end of the third branch 2013 facing away from the second grounding terminal is disconnected from the ground, and the third branch 2013 is in an operational state. It is used to generate a second parasitic resonance, the center frequency of which is the second parasitic resonance frequency f12, and the second parasitic resonance frequency f12 has a second parasitic resonance depth a12. The parasitic resonance frequency f1 includes the second parasitic resonance frequency f12.

[0169] In the above embodiments, in the first, second, and / or third states, the electrical connection state of the first tuning branch 2031 and the third tuning branch 2033 is simply either on or off. Therefore, in some examples, such as Figure 9 As shown, a single-pole double-throw switch can be connected near position ① to realize the state control function of the first tuning branch 2031 and the third tuning branch 2033. It should be noted that... Figure 9 In the single-pole double-throw switch shown, the end connected to the branch is the free end, and the end connected to the floor is the fixed end. The first tuning branch 2031 and the third tuning branch 2033 can be turned on simultaneously, turned off simultaneously, or one of them can be turned on.

[0170] right Figure 12 The radiation pattern of the antenna structure was simulated, and the simulation results are as follows: Figure 10 As shown. Figure 10 In the diagram, curves ①, ③, and ⑤ represent the radiation patterns of the antenna structure provided in the embodiments of this application, while curves ②, ④, and ⑥ represent the radiation patterns of antenna structures in related technologies. In a circular coordinate system, the gain is greater the closer a point is to the outer ring.

[0171] like Figure 13 As shown in (A), in the first state, the antenna structure's radiation pattern faces the vertical direction. The central gain is -20dB, and the outermost ring gain is 5dB. Curve ① has a maximum gain of 2.475dB in the vertical direction; curve ② has a maximum gain of 3.21dB in the vertical direction. The antenna structure provided in this application has a gain in the target direction that is basically the same as that of related technologies.

[0172] like Figure 13 As shown in (B), in the second state, the antenna pattern is oriented towards the 6 o'clock position. The center gain is -20dB, and the outermost ring gain is 5dB. Curve ③ shows a maximum gain of 2.051dB in the first horizontal direction; curve ④ shows a maximum gain of -5.729dB in the first horizontal direction. The antenna structure provided in this application provides a gain in the target direction that is more than 5dB higher than that of related technologies.

[0173] As Figure 13 shown in (C) of

[0173] , in the third state, the radiation pattern of the antenna structure faces the 3 o'clock position and the 9 o'clock position. The center gain is -25 dB, and the outermost ring gain is 5 dB. The maximum gain of curve ⑤ at the 9 o'clock position is -1.428 dB; the maximum gain of curve ⑥ in the second horizontal direction is -24.96 dB. The maximum gain of curve ⑤ at the 3 o'clock position is -1.189 dB; the maximum gain of curve ⑥ in the third horizontal direction is -9.853 dB. The gain of the antenna structure provided by the embodiment of the present application in the target direction is more than 5 dB higher than that of the related technology.

[0174] In a possible implementation manner provided by the second antenna structure of the embodiment of the present application, the vertical projection of the first slot on the dial pattern is located between the 4 o'clock position and the 5 o'clock position of the dial pattern, and the vertical projection of the second slot on the dial pattern is located between the 10 o'clock position and the 11 o'clock position of the dial pattern. When the first branch 2011 and the third branch 2013 are in the working state and the second branch 2012 and the fourth branch 2014 are both in the non-working state, the annular radiator can be in the third state, the fourth state, and / or the fifth state.

[0175] In a possible implementation manner, in the third state, the first tuning branch 2031 is short-circuited, the inductance value of the second tuning branch 2032 is 20 nH, and the third tuning branch 2033 is short-circuited. As Figure 14A shown, 0.75×f0 < f12 < f0, the main resonance depth a0 and the second parasitic resonance depth a12 are far apart (i.e., |a0 - a12| = 9 dB > 3 dB). As Figure 15 shown in (A) of

[0173] , the first branch 2011 generates a clockwise current, the third branch 2013 generates a counterclockwise current, and the current intensity of the first branch 2011 is stronger than that of the third branch 2013.

[0176] In the fourth state, the first tuning branch 2031 is short-circuited, the inductance value of the second tuning branch 2032 is 5.6 nH, and the third tuning branch 2033 is short-circuited. As Figure 14B shown, 0.75×f0 < f12 < f0, the main resonance depth a0 and the second parasitic resonance depth a12 are close (a0 < -6 dB and a12 < -6 dB). As Figure 15 shown in (B) of

[0173] , the first branch 2011 generates a clockwise current, the third branch 2013 generates a counterclockwise current, and the current intensity of the first branch 2011 is weaker than that of the third branch 2013.

[0177] In the fifth state, the first tuning branch 2031 is short-circuited, the inductance value of the second tuning branch 2032 is 1.8 nH, and the third tuning branch 2033 is short-circuited. As Figure 14CAs shown, f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0, the main resonance depth a0 and the second parasitic resonance depth a12 are close (a0 < -6 dB and a12 < -6 dB). As Figure 15 shown in (C) of , both the first branch 2011 and the third branch 2013 generate counterclockwise currents, and the current intensity of the first branch 2011 is weaker than that of the third branch 2013.

[0178] At this time, the radiation pattern orientation of the antenna structure is jointly determined by the relative magnitude relationship of the resonance frequencies and the relative magnitude relationship of the resonance depths. It should be noted that Figure 15 in (A) of and Figure 11 in (B) of , it is the first branch 2011 that generates a clockwise current and the third branch 2013 that generates a counterclockwise current, and the second branch 2012 and the fourth branch 2014 are in a non-operating state. However, Figure 15 in (A) of , the current of the first branch 2011 is strong and the current of the third branch 2013 is weak (the main resonance is strong and the parasitic resonance is weak). Figure 15 in (B) of , the current of the first branch 2011 is weak and the current of the third branch 2013 is strong (the main resonance is weak and the parasitic resonance is strong), so the finally synthesized radiation patterns are also different. To illustrate the difference between the two, the weaker current is marked with a dashed arrow.

[0179] In a possible implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present application, the vertical projection of the first slot on the dial pattern is located between the 4 o'clock position and the 5 o'clock position of the dial pattern, and the vertical projection of the second slot on the dial pattern is located between the 10 o'clock position and the 11 o'clock position of the dial pattern. When the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 are in an operating state and the third branch 2013 and the fourth branch 2014 are both in a non-operating state, the annular radiator can be in the second state, the fifth state and / or the sixth state.

[0180] In a possible implementation manner, in the second state, the capacitance value of the first tuning branch 2031 is 1 pF, the second tuning branch 2032 is short-circuited, and the third tuning branch 2033 is short-circuited. As Figure 16A shown, 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0, the main resonance depth a0 and the first parasitic resonance depth a11 are far apart (i.e., |a0 - a11| = 12 dB > 3 dB). As Figure 17 shown in (A) of , the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 generate clockwise currents, and the current of the first branch 2011 is stronger than that of the second branch 2012.

[0181] In the fifth state, the inductance value of the first tuning branch 2031 is 3 nH, the second tuning branch 2032 is short-circuited, and the third tuning branch 2033 is short-circuited. As Figure 16BAs shown, f0 < f11 < 1.33×f0, and the main resonance depth a0 and the first parasitic resonance depth a11 are close (a0 < -6 dB and a11 < -6 dB). As Figure 17 shown in (B) of , the first branch 2011 generates a clockwise current, and the second branch 2012 generates a counterclockwise current.

[0182] In the sixth state, the first tuning branch 2031 is open, the second tuning branch 2032 is shorted, and the third tuning branch 2033 is shorted. As Figure 16C shown, 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0, and the main resonance depth a0 and the first parasitic resonance depth a11 are close (a0 < -6 dB and a11 < -6 dB). As Figure 17 shown in (C) of , the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 generate clockwise currents, and the currents of the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 are approximately equal.

[0183] It should be noted that Figure 17 in (A) of and Figure 13 in (C) of , it is always the case that the first branch 2011 generates a clockwise current, the second branch 2012 generates a counterclockwise current, and the third branch 2013 and the fourth branch 2014 are in a non-operating state. However, Figure 17 in (A) of , the current on the second branch 2012 is weak, Figure 17 in (C) of , the current on the second branch 2012 is strong, and thus the finally synthesized radiation patterns are also different. To illustrate the difference between the two, the weak current is marked with a dashed arrow.

[0184] In a possible implementation manner provided by the embodiment of the present application for the fourth antenna structure, the vertical projection of the first slot on the dial pattern is located at the 8 o'clock position of the dial pattern, the vertical projection of the third slot on the dial pattern is located at the 10 o'clock position of the dial pattern, the vertical projection of the fourth slot on the dial pattern is located at the 2 o'clock position of the dial pattern, and the vertical projection of the fifth slot on the dial pattern is located at the 4 o'clock position of the dial pattern. The annular radiator can be in the second state, the fourth state, and / or the seventh state.

[0185] In a possible implementation manner, in the second state, when the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 are in an operating state and the third branch 2013 is in a non-operating state. The capacitance value of the first tuning branch 2031 is 1 pf, and the second tuning branch 2032 is shorted. As Figure 18A shown, 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0. As Figure 19 shown in (A) of , both the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 generate counterclockwise currents.

[0186] In the fourth state, when the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 are in the working state and the third stub 2013 is in the non - working state, the capacitance value of the first tuning branch 2031 is 0.2 pF and the second tuning branch 2032 is short - circuited. As Figure 18B shown, f0 < f11 < 1.33×f0. As Figure 19 shown in (B) of , the first stub 2011 generates a counter - clockwise current and the second stub 2012 generates a clockwise current.

[0187] In the seventh state, when the first stub 2011 and the third stub 2013 are in the working state and the second stub 2012 is in the non - working state, the first tuning branch 2031 is short - circuited and the capacitance value of the second tuning branch 2032 is 0.2 pF. As Figure 18C shown, f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0. As Figure 19 shown in (C) of , the first stub 2011 generates a counter - clockwise current and the third stub 2013 generates a counter - clockwise current.

[0188] In some embodiments, as Figure 20 shown, the antenna structure 20 further includes a matching circuit 204. The matching circuit 204 is used to be coupled between the feeding end F and the feed source. The matching circuit 204 can be used to achieve impedance matching of the antenna structure.

[0189] Among them, impedance generally refers to the ratio of the voltage to the current at the input end of the antenna. Impedance is a measure of the resistance to electrical signals in the antenna. The main purpose of impedance matching is to achieve the matching between the antenna and the transmission line. When the antenna and the transmission line are matched, the power transmitted from the transmitter to the antenna or from the antenna to the receiver is the largest. At this time, there is no reflected wave on the transmission line, the reflection coefficient is equal to zero, and the standing - wave ratio is equal to 1. The quality of the matching between the antenna and the transmission line is measured by the magnitude of the reflection coefficient or the standing - wave ratio at the input end of the antenna. For a transmitting antenna, if the matching is not good, the radiation power of the antenna will decrease, the loss on the transmission line will increase, the power capacity of the transmission line will also decrease, and in severe cases, there will be a phenomenon of "frequency pulling" of the transmitter, that is, the oscillation frequency changes.

[0190] Based on this, in a possible implementation manner of the fifth antenna structure provided in the embodiments of the present application, the vertical projection of the first slot on the dial pattern is located between the 7 o'clock position and the 8 o'clock position of the dial pattern, the vertical projection of the third slot on the dial pattern is located between the 10 o'clock position and the 11 o'clock position of the dial pattern, the vertical projection of the fourth slot on the dial pattern is located between the 1 o'clock position and the 2 o'clock position of the dial pattern, and the vertical projection of the fifth slot on the dial pattern is located between the 4 o'clock position and the 5 o'clock position of the dial pattern. The matching circuit includes a first branch and a second branch. The first branch is coupled between the feed source and the feeding end, and the second branch is coupled between the first branch and the ground plane. The annular radiator can be in the second state, the fourth state, and / or the seventh state.

The capacitance value is 1.5 pF. As Figure 21A shown, 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0. As Figure 22 shown in (A) of

[0192] In the fourth state, when the third branch 2013 is in the working state and the second branch 2012 is in the non - working state. The radiation pattern of the antenna structure points to the 9 o'clock position, the first tuning branch 2031 is short - circuited, the second tuning branch 2032 is short - circuited, the capacitance value of the first branch is 1.5 pF, and the inductance value of the second branch is 4.3 nH. As Figure 21B shown, f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0. As Figure 22 shown in (B) of

[0193] In the seventh state, when both the second branch 2012 and the third branch 2013 are in the working state. The first tuning branch 2031 is short - circuited, the second tuning branch 2032 is open - circuited, the capacitance value of the first branch is 1.5 pF, and the second branch is open - circuited. As Figure 21C shown,

[0194] 0.75×f0 < f11 < f0 < f12 < 1.33×f0. As Figure 22 shown in (C) of

[0195] It should be noted that, Figure 21CIt also includes a resonance f01 generated by the first branch 2011 that is different from the main resonance f0. Since the resonance f01 is generated by the main branch, the resonance f01 does not affect the pattern synthesis of the antenna structure when operating at the main resonance f0.

[0196] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20 shown, the matching circuit 204 further includes a first filter circuit. The first filter circuit is coupled between the first branch 2011 and the ground plane 202. The first branch 2011 is used to generate a first main resonance and a second main resonance. The center frequency of the first main resonance is the first main resonance frequency f01, and the center frequency of the second main resonance is the second main resonance frequency f02. Among them, the main resonance frequency f0 includes the first main resonance frequency f01 and the second main resonance frequency f02.

[0197] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the form of the first filter circuit. The function of the first filter circuit is to help the first branch 2011 excite at least two resonance frequencies. The first filter circuit can adopt a combined circuit form such as a parallel combination of a capacitor and an inductor, a series combination of a capacitor and an inductor, a parallel combination of a first capacitor and a first inductor and then a series connection with a second inductor, or a series combination of a first capacitor and a first inductor and then a parallel connection with a second capacitor.

[0198] In some embodiments, the first tuning branch 2031 further includes a second filter circuit. The second filter circuit is coupled between the second branch 2012 and the ground plane. The second branch 2012 is used to generate a first parasitic resonator resonance and a second parasitic resonator resonance. The center frequency of the first parasitic resonator resonance is the first parasitic resonator frequency f111, and the center frequency of the first parasitic resonator resonance is the first parasitic resonator frequency f111. Among them, the first parasitic resonance frequency f11 includes the first parasitic resonator frequency f111 and the second parasitic resonator frequency f112.

The second filter circuit can also adopt a combined circuit form such as a parallel combination of a capacitor and an inductor, a series combination of a capacitor and an inductor, a parallel combination of a first capacitor and a first inductor and then a series connection with a second inductor, or a series combination of a first capacitor and a first inductor and then a parallel connection with a second capacitor.

[0200] In another possible implementation, in the second state, when the second branch 2012 is in the working state and the third branch 2013 is in the non-working state. The first tuning branch 2031 includes a first combined circuit, the second tuning branch 2032 is short-circuited, the matching circuit includes a first branch and a second combined circuit, the first branch and the second combined circuit are connected in series, and the capacitance value of the first branch is 1.5 pF. As Figure 23A shown,

[0201] 0.75×f​01 < f111 < f01 < 0.75×f02 < f112 < f02. As Figure 22As shown in (A) therein, both the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 generate currents in the counterclockwise direction.

[0202] In the fourth state, the second branch 2012 is in the working state and the third branch 2013 is in the non - working state. The first tuning branch 2031 is short - circuited, the second tuning branch 2032 is short - circuited, the matching circuit includes a first branch and a third combined circuit, the first branch and the third combined circuit are in series, and the capacitance value of the first branch is 1.5 pF. As Figure 23B shown, f01 < f02 < f11 < 1.33×f02. As Figure 22 As shown in (B) therein, the first branch 2011 generates a current in the counterclockwise direction and the second branch 2012 generates a current in the clockwise direction.

[0203] In the seventh state, when the third branch 2013 is in the working state and the second branch 2012 is in the working state. The first tuning branch 2031 is short - circuited, the second tuning branch 2032 is open - circuited, the matching circuit includes a first branch and a fourth combined circuit, the first branch and the fourth combined circuit are in series, and the capacitance value of the first branch is 1.5 pF. As Figure 23C shown, f01 < f02 < f11 < 1.33×f02, 0.75×f01 < f12 < f01 < f02. As Figure 22 As shown in (C) therein, the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 generate currents in the counterclockwise direction, and the third branch 2013 generates a current in the clockwise direction.

[0204] It can be understood that the second combined circuit, the third combined circuit and the fourth combined circuit are the first filter circuit, and the first combined circuit is the second filter circuit. In some examples, as Figure 24 shown, the first combined circuit includes a first capacitor C1 and a first inductor LN1, and the first capacitor C1 and the first inductor LN are in series. The second combined circuit includes a second capacitor C2 and a second inductor LN2, and the second capacitor C2 and the second inductor LN2 are in series. The third combined circuit includes a third capacitor C3 and a third inductor LN3, and the third capacitor C3 and the third inductor LN3 are in series. The fourth combined circuit includes a fourth capacitor C4, a fifth capacitor C5 and a fourth inductor LN4, the fourth capacitor C4 and the fourth inductor LN4 are in series and then in parallel with the fifth capacitor C5. For example, in the first combined circuit, C1 = 4.7 pF and LN1 = 2.2 nH. In the second combined circuit, C2 = 0.3 pF and LN2 = 2.2 nH. In the third combined circuit, C3 = 0.5 pF and LN3 = 11 nH.

[0205] In some embodiments, as Figure 25As shown, the tuning circuit further includes a fourth tuning branch 2034. The fourth tuning branch 2034 is coupled between the first grounding end G1 and the floor 202. The fourth tuning branch 2034 has a seventh switching state and an eighth switching state to control the electrical connection state between the first grounding end G1 and the floor 202. The fourth tuning branch 2034 is configured to couple the first grounding end G1 to the floor 202 in the seventh switching state, and the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 operate independently. The fourth tuning branch 2034 is configured to couple the first grounding end G1 to the floor 202 in the eighth switching state, and the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 operate cooperatively. In this way, the fourth tuning branch 2034 can control whether the first grounding end G1 is grounded. In some examples, the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 are connected. Disconnecting the electrical connection between the first grounding end G1 and the floor 202 by the fifth tuning circuit can be regarded as the physical length of the main stub becoming the sum of the original physical lengths of the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012. In other examples, the first stub 2011 and the second stub 2012 are arranged at intervals. Disconnecting the electrical connection between the first grounding end G1 and the floor 202 by the fifth tuning circuit can change the way of coupled feeding from the first stub 2011 to the second stub 2012.

[0206] Based on this, in a possible implementation manner of the sixth antenna structure provided by the embodiments of the present application, the vertical projection of the first slit on the dial pattern is located between the 4 o'clock position and the 5 o'clock position of the dial pattern, and the vertical projection of the second slit on the dial pattern is located between the 10 o'clock position and the 11 o'clock position of the dial pattern.

As Figure 27 As shown in (B) of Figure 27 , the new branch formed by combining the first branch 2011 and the second branch 2012 generates a clockwise current, and the third branch 2013 also generates a clockwise current.

[0209] In addition, it can be understood that when the above six possible implementation manners of the antenna structure are applied to an electronic device, the slit position and the electrical length of the branch can be adaptively adjusted according to the specific architecture and application scenario requirements of the electronic device to achieve different orientations of the antenna radiation pattern.
