When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0032] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the present disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when" or "while" or "in response to determining".

[0033] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an antenna structure shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a ground return rib shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the antenna structure includes a first radiation arm 1, a second radiation arm 2, and a ground return rib 3. A slot is formed by the cooperation between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2, and the ground return rib 3 is partially disposed in the slot. Wherein, taking the direction from the first radiation arm 1 to the second radiation arm 2 as the first direction, as Figure 1 shown in, the first direction is the left - right direction. The ground return rib 3 is provided with a plurality of metal units 31 spaced apart in the first direction, and a gap 32 is formed between adjacent metal units 31. The depth direction of the gap 32 is perpendicular to the first direction. For example, Figure 1 shown in, the depth direction of the gap 32 is the up - down direction. Among them, the cross - sectional areas of the plurality of metal units 31 may be the same or different, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0034] From an electrical perspective, the metal unit 31 of the ground return rib 3 can be equivalent to an inductor, and the gap 32 can be equivalent to a capacitor. Therefore, as Figure 3 shown, the ground return rib 3 can be equivalent to a plurality of series LC circuits disposed between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2, which is equivalent to adding a band-stop circuit between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2, increasing the equivalent impedance between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2, thereby improving the isolation between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2.

[0035] For example, taking the case where the first radiation arm 1 covers the Wifi 2.4G band and the second radiation arm 2 covers the medium and high frequency bands as an example, since the coverage frequency ranges of the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2 overlap, the performance in the same frequency band is greatly affected. Based on the ground return rib 3 having five rows and six columns of metal units 31, the Figure 4 simulation parameter curves shown are obtained. The green curve is the return loss curve of the second radiation arm 2, the red curve is the return loss curve of the first radiation arm 1, the blue curve is the isolation curve between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2 in the present disclosure, and the orange curve is the isolation curve between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2 in the related art. Among them, the two isolation curves are obtained by simulation under the condition that the size data of the ground return rib 3 is the same. Therefore, by comparison, it can be seen that within the overlapping frequency range of the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2, through the design of the metal unit 31 and the gap 32, the isolation between the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2 can be increased from -12.9 dB to -15.7 dB, an increase of about 2.8 dB, which is beneficial to improving the radiation efficiency of the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2.

[0036] The above is only described by taking the case where the first radiation arm 1 covers the Wifi 2.4G band, the second radiation arm 2 covers the medium and high frequency bands, and the operating frequency bands between the two radiation arms overlap as an example. In other embodiments, the first radiation arm 1 may also cover other frequency bands, the second radiation arm 2 may also cover other frequency bands, and at least part of the operating frequency band range of the first radiation arm and the operating frequency band range of the second radiation arm overlap.

[0037] Taking the metal unit 31 with five rows and six columns as an example for illustration, in other embodiments, the ground return rib 3 may be provided with multiple rows and multiple columns of metal units 31. Among them, the row direction of the multiple rows and multiple columns of metal units 31 is the first direction, and the column direction is perpendicular to the row direction and the depth direction of the gap 32 in pairs. In still some other embodiments, the ground return rib 3 may be provided with a single row and multiple columns of metal units 31. The number of metal units 31 can be adaptively designed according to the operating frequency band of the first radiation arm and the operating frequency band of the second radiation arm. For example, each metal unit 31 and the adjacent single gap are equivalent to an LC series circuit, and the resonant frequency point of the LC series circuit is outside the operating frequency bands of the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2.

[0038] In some embodiments

[0039] , in the first direction, the length of the metal unit 31 is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 0.7 mm. As Figure 5 shown, 0.3 mm ≤ L1 ≤ 0.7 m. For example, the length of the metal unit 31 can be equal to 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.65 mm, etc. In the first direction, the length of the gap 32 is greater than or equal to 0.05 mm and less than or equal to 0.2 mm. As Figure 5 shown, 0.05 mm ≤ L2 ≤ 0.2 m. For example, the length of the gap 32 can be equal to 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.18 mm, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the antenna structure further includes a first insulating medium 4 and a second insulating medium 5. The first insulating medium 4 is disposed between the first radiation arm 1 and the ground return rib 3; the second insulating medium 5 is disposed between the second radiation arm 2 and the ground return rib 3, so as to fill the gaps between the ground return rib 3 and the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2, thereby improving the strength. Of course, in still some other embodiments, the ground return rib 3 may also be connected to the end forming a slit with one of the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2, and spaced from the end forming a slit with the other. In order to improve the strength of the ground return rib 3 itself, an insulating material may also be filled in the gap 32, and the specific material is not limited in this disclosure.

[0041] Based on the technical solution of the present disclosure, an electronic device is further provided. The electronic device may include the antenna structure described in any one of the above embodiments, and the first radiation arm 1 and the second radiation arm 2 respectively form a part of the outer frame of the electronic device. The electronic device may include a mobile phone, a tablet device, etc.

[0042] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure herein. The present disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include known common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are only to be considered as exemplary, and the true scope and spirit of the present disclosure are pointed out by the following claims.

[0043] It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the exact structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present disclosure is only limited by the appended claims.
