Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to a 5G antenna technology applied to ships. Background Art

[0002] The background of integrated antenna technology is the growing demand for high-performance antennas in modern wireless communication systems, especially in the development of 5G and future 6G communication technologies. These technologies require antennas to have higher data transmission rates, lower latency, wider coverage, and better energy efficiency. In order to meet these requirements, antenna technology must achieve higher integration, smaller size, lower power consumption, and higher performance.

[0003] The commonly used integrated antenna technologies at this stage are as follows:

[0004] 1. Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Technology: MIMO technology improves data throughput and signal quality by using multiple antennas at the transceiver end. This requires good isolation and low mutual coupling between antennas to transmit and receive multiple data streams simultaneously.

[0005] 2. Millimeter wave technology: As the communication frequency band expands to millimeter waves (30GHz to 300GHz), the size of the antenna can be made smaller, which is conducive to integration into various devices. Millimeter wave antennas have the characteristics of short wavelength, high resolution and large bandwidth, but they also face large path loss and requirements for integration.

[0006] 3. Packaged antenna (AiP) technology: AiP technology integrates the antenna into the RF package, which can reduce external connections and space occupation while reducing cost and complexity. AiP technology is suitable for mobile terminals and IoT devices and can achieve compact wireless solutions.

[0007] 4. Antenna on Chip (AoC) Technology: AoC technology integrates the antenna directly on the semiconductor chip, which can achieve higher integration and better performance. This technology is especially important for high-frequency communications because it can reduce the signal loss between the chip and the antenna.

[0008] 5. Phased array antenna technology: Phased array antennas form and point beams by electronically controlling the phase of each antenna element in the array. This technology enables fast beam steering and dynamic beam management, which is critical to achieving high-speed, high-reliability wireless communications.

[0009] 6. Application of new materials: In order to meet the requirements of high frequency and high integration, new materials such as liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and low-loss ceramic materials are used in antenna design to improve antenna performance and reduce losses.

[0010] 7. Advances in integrated circuit (IC) technology: With the development of semiconductor technology, RF integrated circuits can achieve higher frequencies, smaller sizes, and lower power consumption, which provides strong support for the development of integrated antennas.

[0011] In summary, the background of integrated antenna technology is the rapid development of wireless communication technology and the urgent need for high-performance antennas. Through integrated design, smaller, more efficient and more economical wireless communication solutions can be achieved to support the application and development of future communication technologies.

[0012] Existing integrated antennas are often fixed, and the data signals received by the antenna are limited. For example, the public document with the publication number CN113013580A, the publication date is 2021-06-22, and the patent name is "A 5G antenna and a 5G antenna mounting seat", which discloses a 5G antenna and a 5G antenna mounting seat. In view of the inconvenient replacement and disassembly of the 5G antenna, the following scheme is proposed, including a bottom plate and a support column, the top outer wall of the bottom plate is fixed with a mounting seat, and the top outer wall of the mounting seat is provided with a first circular groove, the top outer wall of the mounting seat is located on the inner wall of the first circular groove and is provided with a first rectangular groove, and the inner wall of the first rectangular groove is provided with a first annular groove, the inside of the mounting seat is provided with a second annular groove, and the circumferential outer wall of the second annular groove is fixedly installed with four second mounting rods distributed equidistantly, and the top of the second mounting rod is fixedly installed with a first movable rod. Similar antenna equipment, when encountering strong winds and waves, the integrated antenna is easily damaged or even fails, which has a serious impact on the communication and data transmission on the ship in the later period.

[0025] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention, such as the shapes and structures of the components involved, the relative positions and connection relationships between the components, the functions and working principles of the components, the manufacturing process and the operation and use methods, etc., through the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.

[0026] The structure of the integrated marine antenna 1 is a foldable antenna 1. The main structure in the unfolded state is similar to that of the existing antenna 1, and has a column 3, a base 5 and an antenna 1. The base 5 is used to be fixed on the hull, generally fixed on the highest deck of the ship. The outer periphery of the base 5 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the entire device can be fixed on the top deck of the ship by passing bolts through the mounting holes. The column 3 is vertically fixed on the base 5. There are generally multiple antennas 1, and one end of each antenna 1 is fixed on the column 3. The whole is in a scattered shape, which is helpful for receiving and transmitting signals.

[0027] The utility model has the function of storage, so that the device can be manually stored and folded in windy and choppy weather, reducing the wind-exposed area, thereby improving the wind and wave resistance, and can automatically unfold after wind and waves to restore the signal receiving and sending capability. One end of each antenna 1 is fixed to different sides of the top of the column 3 through a hinge with a pin locking function. The hinge with the pin locking function can suspend the antenna 1 at a desired height. Generally speaking, the antenna 1 is locked in a horizontal position when unfolded. There are 3 to 6 antennas 1, and four are provided as shown in the figure. After the antennas 1 are unfolded, they are fixed at equal angles. The length of each antenna 1 is the same, which is 15 to 30 cm. Preferably, a 20 cm aluminum antenna 1 structure is adopted.

[0028] The column 3 is a cylindrical structure, so the antenna 1 is an arc-shaped structure that can fit the surface of the column 3 when stored. The sheet structure can not only improve the signal receiving and sending capabilities, but also completely wrap the column 3 when stored, which is convenient for further storage. Each antenna 1 is electrically connected to the signal line 4. The interior of the column 3 is hollow, and the signal line 4 is placed in the column 3. The top of the signal line 4 extends out of the column 3 and is electrically connected to each antenna 1. A wire outlet is provided at the bottom of the column 3, and the signal line 4 extends from the wire outlet to be connected to an external signal amplifier 6.

[0029] The column 3 is an iron metal rod. In order to prevent the antenna 1 from swaying with the wind after being stored, a magnet is fixed to the lower surface of each antenna 1 for adsorbing on the column 3 in the stored state. The stability of the antenna 1 in the stored state can be ensured by magnetic means. In addition, a layer of signal reflection coating can be provided on the outer surface of the column 3 to further enhance the signal receiving and transmitting capabilities of the device.

[0030] The base 5 is provided with a protruding shaft seat 2, and the shaft seat 2 is provided with an axis hole. The shaft seat 2 can be in a single-piece form and embedded in the column 3, or it can be in a double-piece form to clamp the column 3 and fix it. An axis hole is provided at the bottom of the column 3, and the bolt passes through the shaft seat 2 and the axis hole to fix the column 3 to the base 5. Tightening the bolt can maintain the vertical state of the column 3, and loosening the bolt can level the column 3. A groove for storing the column 3 in a flat state is provided on the base 5 on the deflected side of the column 3, and a magnet is embedded in the groove, so that the column 3 can be reliably leveled after being stored, reducing the collision between the base 5 and the column 3 due to wind and waves, which can not only protect the equipment but also reduce noise pollution.

[0031] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
