Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a low-orbit satellite antenna assembly for a 5G mobile terminal. Background Art
[0002] Low-orbit satellite communications (LEO) utilizes low-orbit satellites for personal communications via handheld devices. These communications offer numerous advantages: The low altitude of the satellites reduces transmission latency and path loss, while a constellation of multiple satellites enables true global coverage and more efficient frequency reuse. Furthermore, technologies such as cellular communications, multiple access, spot beams, and frequency reuse provide the technical underpinnings for LEO satellite mobile communications. Consequently, LEO satellite communications are currently considered the newest and most promising form of satellite mobile communications.
[0003] With the popularization of fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G) and low-orbit satellite communication technology, mobile terminal products equipped with low-orbit satellite communication systems have also experienced rapid development. Currently, the vast majority of mobile terminals on the market are equipped with fifth-generation mobile communication technology, which can greatly improve network download speeds and information transmission speeds. However, in some remote rural areas, remote scenic areas with few people, and uninhabited areas, the fifth-generation mobile communication technology has poor signal strength and is almost unusable, which is very inconvenient for some people. Mobile terminal products equipped with low-orbit satellite communication systems can solve this problem. Mobile terminal products equipped with low-orbit satellite communication systems can still transmit data even in remote rural areas, remote scenic areas with few people, and uninhabited areas, providing users with a better user experience.
[0004] In today's "involution" mobile terminal product market, mobile terminal products equipped with low-orbit satellite communication systems are more competitive than those without low-orbit satellite communication systems. The core of the low-orbit satellite communication system is the satellite communication antenna, and the performance indicators of the satellite communication antenna are very important. In order to meet people's communication needs, current 5G mobile terminal devices are usually equipped with multiple antennas and each antenna often has multiple frequency bands. In addition, since the current definition of mobile terminal device products is mainly thin and light and has a high screen-to-body ratio, it is very difficult to add satellite communication antennas to 5G mobile terminal devices. The design space for satellite communication antennas is very small, and the performance of satellite communication antennas will also be affected when users hold the tablet with their hands. For satellite communication antenna design, these factors are fatal. To meet the performance index requirements of satellite communication antennas (including total radiation efficiency and return loss), and to reduce the impact of users' hands on the performance of satellite communication antennas, a reasonable satellite communication antenna layout is particularly critical and directly affects the quality of user experience.

[0034] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the utility model provides a low-orbit satellite antenna assembly for a 5G mobile terminal, including a transmitting antenna 1 and a receiving antenna 2. The transmitting antenna 1 and the receiving antenna 2 are respectively arranged on the inner side of the metal frame of the 5G mobile terminal and cooperate with each other. The transmitting antenna 1 and the receiving antenna 2 are respectively electrically connected to the main control circuit board in the 5G mobile terminal. The transmitting antenna 1 is arranged on the inner side of the bend on the lower left side of the metal frame of the 5G mobile terminal, and the receiving antenna 2 is arranged on the inner side of the bend on the lower right side of the metal frame of the 5G mobile terminal. The radiation end of the transmitting antenna 1 and the radiation end of the receiving antenna 2 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the left and right sides of the metal frame of the 5G mobile terminal and close to each other. Near the bottom of the metal frame, the transmitting antenna 1 is provided with a transmitting antenna return point and a transmitting antenna feed point 12 for extracting signals. The receiving antenna 2 is provided with a receiving antenna return point 22 and a receiving antenna feed point 21 for receiving signals. The transmitting antenna return point 11 and the receiving antenna return point 22 are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the bottom of the metal frame of the 5G mobile terminal. The distance between the transmitting antenna feed point 12 and the transmitting antenna return point 11 is d1, and the distance between the receiving antenna feed point 21 and the receiving antenna return point 22 is d2. The value range of d1 is 10mm≤d1≤35mm, and the value range of d2 is 10mm≤d2≤35mm. In this embodiment, the transmitting antenna can couple with the receiving antenna and enhance the total radiation efficiency of each other. This can ensure that the total radiation efficiency and isolation of the low-orbit satellite antenna assembly for 5G mobile terminals meet the comprehensive needs of people. At the same time, it also reduces the interference of the user's hand on the performance of the satellite communication antenna. The antenna assembly design and debugging time is short, and the user experience is good.
[0035] like Figure 1-8As shown, the distance d1 between the transmitting antenna feed point 12 and the transmitting antenna return point 11 is 22.5 mm, the distance d2 between the receiving antenna feed point 21 and the receiving antenna return point 22 is 15 mm, the transmitting antenna 1 has an inverted F antenna property as a whole, and the length is selected to be 212.5 mm, the receiving antenna 2 has an inverted F antenna property as a whole, and the length is selected to be 173 mm, the transmitting antenna feed point 12 can be connected to capacitors and inductors, and the receiving antenna feed point 21 can also be connected to capacitors and inductors; the transmitting antenna feed point 12 extends from the transmitting antenna 1 to the inside of the 5G mobile terminal, and the transmitting antenna return point 11 extends from The transmitting antenna 1 extends toward the interior of the 5G mobile terminal and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board in the 5G mobile terminal. The receiving antenna feed point 21 extends from the receiving antenna 2 toward the interior of the 5G mobile terminal. The receiving antenna return point 22 extends from the receiving antenna 2 toward the interior of the 5G mobile terminal and is electrically connected to the main control circuit board in the 5G mobile terminal. The maximum gain beam angle of the transmitting antenna and the maximum gain beam angle of the receiving antenna overlap, and both face the top of the 5G mobile terminal. This design can provide stronger communication capabilities with low-orbit satellites, and the maximum gain of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna is high, and the radiation direction is the most ideal radiation direction. The layout of the antenna position can minimize the interference of the user's hands on the performance of the satellite communication antenna. In this embodiment, the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are essentially inverted F antennas. Figure 2 This is the return loss diagram of the transmitting antenna, the frequency is about 0.229GHZ. Figure 3 This is the return loss diagram of the receiving antenna, with a frequency of approximately 0.286 GHz. The transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna meet the basic characteristics of the inverted F antenna, which receives a fundamental wave with a length of approximately four to eight times its own wavelength. Taking the transmitting antenna as an example, c = 2.97*10^8, λ 1小 =4*212.5mm=0.85mλ 2大 =8*212.5mm=1.7mλ3=c / f1≈1.3m. In this embodiment, the distance between the transmitting antenna feed point and the transmitting antenna return point is selected as 22.5mm, and the distance between the receiving antenna feed point and the receiving antenna return point is selected as 15mm. After multiple antenna simulations, it is found that maintaining the distance between the antenna feed point and the antenna return point at 10-35mm can achieve excellent antenna performance. The capacitor and inductor connected to the transmitting antenna feed point can adjust the impedance of the transmitting antenna to 50Ω, and the capacitor and inductor connected to the receiving antenna feed point can also adjust the impedance of the receiving antenna to 50Ω, thereby improving the maximum gain and radiation performance of the transmitting and receiving antennas. Figure 4 This is the return loss diagram after the transmitting antenna is connected to the capacitor and inductor. Figure 5 Return loss diagram after connecting capacitors and inductors to the receiving antenna. Figure 6 This is the isolation diagram between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna. The worst frequency isolation between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna is -35, which is much greater than the industry's isolation index of -15.
[0036] like Figure 7 As shown, the total free space gain of the transmitting antenna is -7.9dbi; Figure 8 As shown, the total free space gain of the receiving antenna is -5.2dbi, which is much greater than the industry's total radiation gain of -12dbi. Figure 9 As shown, the total gain of the transmitting antenna double-hand mode is -7.2dbi. Figure 10 As shown, the total gain of the receiving antenna in double-hand mode is -4.6dbi, which is 0.8dB higher than the total gain in free space. To achieve this, the antenna feed needs to be away from the hands and located slightly below the product. The maximum gain beam angles of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna overlap, which is better than non-overlapping in actual use. To achieve this, the radiating ends of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna need to be symmetrical. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the transmitting antenna Theta = 90°1d pattern shows that the 60° beam angle gain performance of 150°-210° in actual use is excellent, greater than -8. Figure 12 As shown, the receiving antenna's Theta = 90° 1d pattern shows excellent gain performance (greater than -6) at a 60° beam angle of 150°-210° in actual use. To achieve this, the radiating tips of the transmitting and receiving antennas must be located on either side of the product, with the transmitting and receiving antenna feed points positioned slightly below the product. Ideal antenna design doesn't consider a feed point, but to extract the signal, the point at which it is extracted is called a feed point. The addition of a feed point generally affects the antenna's field distribution, and its selection is crucial in this embodiment to improve the overall radiation efficiency of the antenna structure.
[0037] From the above, it can be seen that the present invention provides a low-orbit satellite antenna assembly for 5G mobile terminals. By arranging mutually coordinated transmitting antennas and receiving antennas in the 5G mobile terminal, the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna have high maximum gain and good isolation, and the radiation directions of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna overlap, and the radiation direction is the most ideal radiation direction. It can achieve the goal of making the total radiation efficiency of the low-orbit satellite antenna assembly for 5G mobile terminals meet people's comprehensive needs, while also reducing the interference effect of the user's hands on the performance of the satellite communication antenna. The antenna assembly has a short design and debugging time, a good user experience, a simple structure, stability and reliability, and also reduces the antenna design cost, solving the problem in the prior art that the design performance index requirements of the satellite communication antenna for 5G mobile terminals are difficult to achieve and the user's hands have an interference effect on the performance of the satellite communication antenna.

The scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the specific implementation methods. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
