[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a positioning antenna structure includes a printed circuit board 1, a main bracket 2, a feeding bracket 3, a first radiation plate 11, a second radiation plate 12 and a third radiation plate 13, wherein:

[0031] The first radiation sheet 11 and the second radiation sheet 12 are arranged on the front side of the printed circuit board 1, and the third radiation sheet 13 is arranged on the back side of the printed circuit board 1. The first radiation sheet 11 and the third radiation sheet 13 are conductively connected through a plurality of conductive holes 111 on the printed circuit board 1.

[0032] The third radiation plate 13 is provided with an antenna feeding ground pad 131, and one end surface of the main bracket 2 is provided with a bracket feeding ground pad 21 corresponding to the antenna feeding ground pad 131 and welded and connected, and the bracket feeding ground pad 21 is welded and connected to the corresponding device mainboard through the feeding ground pin pad 22 on the other end surface of the main bracket 2;

[0033] The second radiation sheet 12 is connected to the antenna feed point pad 121 located on the back of the printed circuit board 1 through the via 111 , and the antenna feed point pad 121 is connected to the corresponding device mainboard through the feeding bracket 3 .

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, two ends of the feeding bracket 3 are provided with a bracket feeding point pad 31 and a feeding point pin pad 32 which are connected to each other. The feeding bracket 3 also adopts a sheet metal part, which itself has conductivity, so that the bracket feeding point pad 31 and the feeding point pin pad 32 are directly connected. The bracket feeding point pad 31 is welded and connected with the antenna feeding point pad 121 correspondingly, and the feeding point pin pad 32 is welded and connected on the corresponding device mainboard.

[0035] like Figure 8 As shown, the feeding bracket 3 is temporarily fixed on the main bracket 2 by an auxiliary connecting member 4, which is convenient for positioning and welding process together, and is removed after welding between the main bracket 2, the feeding bracket 3 and the corresponding radiation plate on the printed circuit board 1 is completed. In the specific implementation of production, the number of printed circuit boards 1, main brackets 2, and feeding brackets 3 can be single or multiple, and the shapes of the printed circuit boards 1, main brackets 2, and feeding brackets 3 themselves can be diversified, such as circular, rectangular, irregular, etc. The number of each feeding point and feeding point can be single or multiple. In actual production, the auxiliary connecting member 4 can connect multiple independent main brackets 2 and feeding brackets 3 into a whole to simplify materials and processes. After the process is completed, it can be easily removed to further reduce costs.

[0036] The main bracket 2 and the feeding bracket 3 are sheet metal parts.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the first radiation sheet 11 is a parasitic branch of the antenna, which is respectively arranged at each edge of the front side of the printed circuit board 1.

[0038] The second radiation plates 12 are a pair of antenna radiators and are located in the front area of ​​the printed circuit board 1 surrounded by the first radiation plates 11 .

[0040] like Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, s11 is feed 1, s22 is feed 2, and the return loss of the two feeds is around -5dB. Because a good gain is required, the frequency is not selected at the best point in this example.

[0041] like Fig.10 As shown, the right-hand circular polarization is currently more than 6dB larger than the left-hand circular polarization. In such a low frequency band and in the current very small size, this is a better right-hand circular polarization.

[0042] like Fig.11As shown, right-hand circular polarization is more than 30dB larger than left-hand circular polarization, which is a very excellent performance under the current size. In addition, the GPS L1 frequency band plays a major role in currently commonly used devices. The better the performance, the more accurate the positioning function of the device.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
