[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] like Figure 1 , 2 The illustrated multi-functional vehicle-mounted integrated antenna includes a base 1, a substrate assembly, and an antenna assembly. The substrate assembly is connected within the base 1, and the antenna assembly is connected to the substrate assembly. Specifically:

[0037] The substrate assembly includes a first substrate 20, a second substrate 21, and a third substrate 22. All three substrates are PCBs and can be fixed to the base 1 with screws. The second substrate 21 is positioned between the first substrate 20 and the third substrate 22. In the diagram, the first substrate 20, second substrate 21, and third substrate 22 are arranged sequentially from left to right, with gaps between them. This effectively reduces costs and improves antenna isolation, reducing grounding coupling.

[0038] The areas of the first substrate 20 and the third substrate 22 are larger than the area of ​​the second substrate 21. Preferably, the areas of the first substrate 20 and the third substrate 22 are equal and symmetrically arranged with respect to the second substrate 21. In this embodiment, the first substrate 20 and the third substrate 22 are specifically 108*68mm PCB boards, and the second substrate 21 is a 68*68mm PCB board.

[0039] The antenna assembly includes a first 5G main antenna 300, a second 5G main antenna 301, a first 5G secondary antenna 310, a second 5G secondary antenna 311, a V2X antenna 32, and a GNSS antenna 33, for a total of six antennas. Among them:

[0040] The first 5G main antenna 300 is connected to the first substrate 20, and the second 5G main antenna 310 is connected to the third substrate 22. Both the first 5G main antenna 300 and the second 5G main antenna 310 adopt a PIFA antenna configuration. Due to the small area of ​​the PCB ground plane, the first 5G main antenna 300 and the second 5G main antenna 310 are a combination of a metal vibrator and a PCB vibrator. This combination of metal and PCB vibrators effectively solves the problem of small substrate area. Both the metal and PCB vibrators can participate in radiation, resulting in a wide bandwidth and good directivity. Furthermore, the PCB vibrator has a matching circuit to ensure that the polarization within the 5G antenna band is vertically polarized. Specifically:

[0041] The metal vibrator of the first 5G main antenna 300 and the second 5G main antenna 301 includes a vertical part 30a and a horizontal part 30b. The vertical part 30a extends in the vertical direction and the horizontal part 30b extends in the horizontal direction. The PCB vibrator 30c of the first 5G main antenna 300 and the second 5G main antenna 301 is welded to the horizontal part 30b.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first 5G main antenna 300 and the second 5G main antenna 301 are configured to excite three frequency bands including 698-960MHz, 1700-2700MHz, and 3300-5000MHz.

[0043] The first 5G sub-antenna 310 is connected to the first substrate 20, and the second 5G sub-antenna 311 is connected to the third substrate 22. In the figure, the first 5G main antenna 300, the first 5G sub-antenna 310, the second 5G main antenna 301, and the second 5G sub-antenna 311 are centrally symmetrical. The first 5G sub-antenna 310 and the second 5G sub-antenna 311 are metal vibrators.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first 5G sub-antenna 310 and the second 5G sub-antenna 311 are configured to excite two frequency bands including 1700-2700MHz and 3300-5000MHz.

[0045] The V2X antenna 32 is also connected to the third substrate 22. The V2X antenna 32 is a metal vibrator. The V2X antenna is a Yagi antenna, which is small in size and can effectively improve the directional gain of the V2X antenna.

[0046] In this embodiment, the V2X antenna is configured to excite frequencies of 5850-5925MHz.

[0047] The GNSS antenna 33 is connected to the second substrate 21. The GNSS antenna 33 is a loop antenna, and the GNSS antenna 33 is not grounded with the second substrate 21. The GNSS antenna 33 is located at the center of the second substrate 21 to obtain a better axial ratio.

[0048] In this embodiment, the antenna assembly is soldered onto the substrate assembly via connector 4, which is a MiniFakra connector. That is, after the metal vibrators of the first 5G main antenna 300 and the second 5G main antenna 301 are soldered to the PCB vibrators, they are then soldered onto the first substrate 20 and the third substrate 22 via connector 4 to output 5G signals. The first 5G secondary antenna 310, the second 5G secondary antenna 311, and the V2X antenna 32 are directly soldered onto the first substrate 20, the third substrate 21, and the second substrate 22 via metal vibrators and loop antennas.

[0049] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
