Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides an antenna device and an electronic device.

[0004] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, an antenna device is provided, the antenna device comprising:

[0005] The first signal switching module includes a first selection switch and a second selection switch, wherein the number of signal transceivers of the second selection switch is less than the number of signal transceivers of the first selection switch.

[0007] Multiple antenna radiators, at least some of which are connected to at least one radio frequency processing unit and at least one receiving unit via the first signal switching module.

[0008] In this embodiment, the receiving unit and the radio frequency processing unit are integrated into a single signal transceiver unit. This reduces the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module, thereby allowing for a smaller number of signal transceivers to be set for the second selection switch, thus reducing the cost of the antenna device.

[0009] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one radio frequency processing unit includes a first radio frequency processing unit, the plurality of antenna radiators include a first antenna radiator, the plurality of receiving units include a first receiving unit, and the first radio frequency processing unit and the first receiving unit are integrated into a signal transceiver unit.

[0010] The first antenna radiator is connected to both the first radio frequency processing unit and the first receiving unit.

[0011] In this embodiment, since the first receiving unit and the first radio frequency processing unit are integrated into a signal transceiver unit, the integrated signal transceiver unit can achieve more flexible signal connection with the first signal switching module, thereby reducing the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module and thus reducing the cost of the antenna device. Furthermore, since the first antenna radiator is connected to both the first radio frequency processing unit and the first receiving unit, the first antenna radiator can receive and transmit antenna signals without going through the first signal switching device, further reducing the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module and lowering the cost of the antenna device.

[0012] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first selection switch includes a plurality of first transceivers and a plurality of second transceivers, and the first selection switch is configured such that each of the first transceivers can selectively conduct with one of the plurality of second transceivers.

[0013] The signal transceiver unit is connected to a second transceiver terminal, a portion of the first transceiver terminal is connected to the antenna radiator, and another portion of the first transceiver terminal is connected to at least one of the antenna radiators via a second selection switch.

[0014] In this embodiment, since each of the first transceiver ends and each of the second transceiver ends can be selectively turned on, and the first transceiver ends are connected to the antenna radiators, while the second transceiver ends are connected to the signal transceiver unit, the signal transceiver unit can transmit and receive antenna signals to multiple antenna radiators through a first selection switch. The antenna device can transmit and receive antenna signals in multiple frequency bands to meet different user needs, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0015] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the plurality of receiving units includes a second receiving unit integrated into the signal transceiver unit. One of the second transceiver terminals is connected to the second receiving unit via a second signal switching module. The second signal switching module includes a plurality of signal output ports and is used to selectively allocate the signal of the second transceiver terminal to one of the signal output ports.

[0016] In this embodiment, by placing the second signal switching module between the second transceiver and the second receiving unit, the second signal switching module can transmit the antenna signal received by the antenna radiator to the corresponding signal output port for reception by the second receiving unit in the signal transceiver unit, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device in receiving antenna signals. Furthermore, by integrating both the first and second receiving units into the signal transceiver unit, the antenna device can implement ENDC communication mode, further improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0017] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second signal switching module includes at least one third selection switch, the third selection switch including at least two third transceivers and at least two fourth transceivers, the third selection switch being configured such that each of the third transceivers can selectively conduct with at least one of the at least two fourth transceivers.

[0018] In this embodiment, since each of the third and fourth transceivers can be selectively turned on, and the second signal switching module is connected between the second transceiver and the second receiving unit, the antenna signals received by multiple antenna radiators can be transmitted to the second receiving unit in different combinations through the second switching module, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device in receiving antenna signals.

[0019] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the plurality of receiving units further includes a third receiving unit, which is separately disposed from the radio frequency processing unit, and the second receiving unit, the first radio frequency processing unit, and the third receiving unit are respectively connected to different second transceiver terminals.

Since the first radio frequency processing unit, the second receiving unit, and the third receiving unit have different functions, by connecting the second receiving unit, the first radio frequency processing unit, and the third receiving unit to different second transceiver terminals respectively, controlling the different first transceiver terminals to conduct with the corresponding functional second transceiver terminals can realize different communication functions and the switching between different communication functions, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0021] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second selection switch includes two fifth transceivers and two sixth transceivers, and the second selection switch is configured such that each of the fifth transceivers can selectively conduct with one of the two sixth transceivers.

[0022] A first transceiver terminal is connected to a sixth transceiver terminal, the plurality of antenna radiators include a second antenna radiator, and the second antenna radiator is connected to a fifth transceiver terminal.

[0023] In this embodiment, since each of the fifth and sixth transceiver terminals can be selectively turned on, and the second selection switch is connected between the second antenna radiator and the first selection switch, the first radio frequency processing unit can transmit antenna signals to the second antenna radiator through the first and second selection switches, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0024] In some embodiments of this disclosure, another fifth transceiver is connected to the first receiving unit.

[0025] In this embodiment, the second antenna radiating unit is connected to the first receiving unit through a second selection switch.

[0026] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the plurality of receiving units includes a fourth receiving unit, which is separately disposed from the radio frequency processing unit, and another sixth transceiver is connected to the fourth receiving unit.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting a fourth receiving unit, since the second antenna radiator can transmit signals to the fourth receiving unit through the second selection switch, the fourth receiving unit can realize SA communication mode, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0028] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the at least one radio frequency processing unit includes a second radio frequency processing unit connected to a second transceiver terminal.

[0029] In this embodiment, by providing a second radio frequency processing unit, the first radio frequency processing unit and the second radio frequency processing unit can respectively amplify the antenna signals of different frequency bands and transmit them through the antenna radiator, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second radio frequency processing unit and the second receiving unit are connected to the same second transceiver terminal. The antenna device can receive and transmit antenna signals through the same second transceiver terminal, which reduces the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module, thereby reducing the cost of the antenna device.

Detailed Implementation

[0046] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to any or all possible combinations including one or more of the associated listed items.

[0047] With the rapid development of communication technology, electronic devices are becoming increasingly powerful. As a core component for realizing communication functions, antenna devices can achieve data communication and other functions by receiving and transmitting antenna signals. For example, they can enable functions such as gaming, chatting, and navigation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0048] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides an antenna device, which includes a signal transceiver module and a plurality of antenna radiators. The signal transceiver module is connected to all the antenna radiators. Through the cooperation between the antenna radiators and the signal transceiver module, the signal transceiver module can both receive and transmit antenna signals through the antenna radiators, thereby enabling the antenna device to receive and transmit antenna signals. The antenna device can be installed in electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and wearable devices. The antenna radiators may include the metal frame of the electronic device, or a metal frame, metal coil, etc., disposed in other areas of the electronic device. The signal transceiver module can also be connected to the control unit of the electronic device, allowing the control unit to transmit and receive antenna signals through the signal transceiver module.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the antenna device also includes a first signal switching module 10, which includes two first selection switches 11. Multiple antenna radiators 30 can be connected to the signal transceiver module 20 via the first first selection switch 11, the second first selection switch 11, and the two first selection switches 11, respectively. By setting two first selection switches 11, the antenna device can support the parallel operation of multiple communication modes, such as Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access and New Radio Dual Connectivity (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, ENDC), i.e., parallel operation of LTE communication mode (4G) and NR communication mode (5G). It can also realize SA communication mode, such as single-band communication mode. Furthermore, it can switch between different communication modes, such as switching between SA communication mode and ENDC communication mode, thereby improving the user experience. The signal transceiver module 20 includes at least one radio frequency processing unit and multiple receiving units. Each radio frequency processing unit and each receiving unit needs to be connected to the signal transceiver terminal of the first signal switching module 10 to respectively realize the functions of receiving and transmitting antenna signals. Due to the large number of radio frequency processing units and receiving units, the first signal switching module 10 requires a relatively large number of signal transceivers. To achieve the above functions, both first selection switches 11 are configured as 3-pole 3-throw switches. The large number and high cost of 3-pole 3-throw switches contribute to the high cost of the antenna device.

[0050] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the first signal switching module 10 includes a first selection switch 11 and a second selection switch 12, wherein the number of signal transceivers on the second selection switch 12 is less than the number of signal transceivers on the first selection switch 11. At least one receiving unit 21 and one radio frequency processing unit 22 are integrated into a signal transceiver unit 40. At least a portion of the antenna radiators 30 are connected to at least one radio frequency processing unit 22 and at least one receiving unit 21 respectively through the first signal switching module 10.

[0051] In this embodiment, the receiving unit and the radio frequency processing unit are integrated into a single signal transceiver unit. This reduces the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module, thereby allowing for a smaller number of signal transceivers to be set for the second selection switch, thus reducing the cost of the antenna device.

[0052] For example, the first selector switch 11 may include a 3-pole 3-throw switch, and the second selector switch 12 may include a double-pole double-throw switch.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least one radio frequency processing unit 22 includes a first radio frequency processing unit PA1, multiple antenna radiators 30 include a first antenna radiator ANT1, and multiple receiving units 21 include a first receiving unit 211. The first radio frequency processing unit PA1 and the first receiving unit 211 are integrated into a signal transceiver unit 40. The first antenna radiator 30 is connected to both the first radio frequency processing unit PA1 and the first receiving unit 211.

[0054] In this embodiment, since the first receiving unit and the first radio frequency processing unit are integrated into a signal transceiver unit, the integrated signal transceiver unit can achieve more flexible signal connection with the first signal switching module, thereby reducing the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module and thus reducing the cost of the antenna device. Furthermore, since the first antenna radiator is connected to both the first radio frequency processing unit and the first receiving unit, the first antenna radiator can receive and transmit antenna signals without going through the first signal switching device, further reducing the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module and lowering the cost of the antenna device.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first selection switch 11 includes a plurality of first transceiver terminals 111 and a plurality of second transceiver terminals 112. The first selection switch 11 is configured such that each first transceiver terminal 111 can selectively conduct with one of the plurality of second transceiver terminals 112. The signal transceiver unit 40 is connected to one of the second transceiver terminals 112. Some of the first transceiver terminals 111 are connected to an antenna radiator 30, and other parts of the first transceiver terminals 111 are connected to at least one antenna radiator 30 through the second selection switch 12.

[0056] In this embodiment, since each of the first transceiver ends and each of the second transceiver ends can be selectively turned on, and the first transceiver ends are connected to the antenna radiators, while the second transceiver ends are connected to the signal transceiver unit, the signal transceiver unit can transmit and receive antenna signals to multiple antenna radiators through a first selection switch. The antenna device can transmit and receive antenna signals in multiple frequency bands to meet different user needs, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of receiving units 21 include a second receiving unit 212, which is integrated into the signal transceiver unit 40. One of the second transceiver terminals 112 is connected to the second receiving unit 212 through a second signal switching module 50. The second signal switching module 50 includes a plurality of signal output ports and is used to selectively allocate the signal of the second transceiver terminal 112 to one signal output port.

[0058] In this embodiment, by placing the second signal switching module between the second transceiver and the second receiving unit, the second signal switching module can transmit the antenna signal received by the antenna radiator to the corresponding signal output port for reception by the second receiving unit in the signal transceiver unit, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device in receiving antenna signals. Furthermore, by integrating both the first and second receiving units into the signal transceiver unit, the antenna device can implement ENDC communication mode, further improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second signal switching module 50 includes at least one third selection switch 51. The third selection switch 51 includes at least two third transceiver terminals 511 and at least two fourth transceiver terminals 512. The third selection switch 51 is configured such that each third transceiver terminal 511 can be selectively connected to one of the at least two fourth transceiver terminals 512.

[0060] In this embodiment, since each of the third and fourth transceivers can be selectively turned on, and the second signal switching module is connected between the second transceiver and the second receiving unit, the antenna signals received by multiple antenna radiators can be transmitted to the second receiving unit in different combinations through the second switching module, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device in receiving antenna signals.

[0061] For example, the second signal switching module 50 may include two third selection switches 51, and each third selection switch 51 may include a double-pole double-throw switch. The third transceiver terminal 511 of one third selection switch 51 is connected to the first third transceiver terminal 511 and a second transceiver terminal 112 of the other third selection switch 51. The first fourth transceiver terminal 512 of one third selection switch 51 is connected to the second third transceiver terminal 511 of the other third selection switch 51. The second fourth transceiver terminal 512 of one third selection switch is connected to the second receiving unit. The two fourth transceiver terminals 512 of the other third selection switch are respectively connected to the second receiving unit.

[0062] In one embodiment, the receiving unit 21 further includes a third receiving unit 213, which is separately disposed from the radio frequency processing unit 22. The second receiving unit 212, the first radio frequency processing unit PA1 and the third receiving unit 213 are respectively connected to different second transceiver terminals 112.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first radio frequency processing unit is used to transmit signals to multiple antenna radiators through the second transceiver terminal, the second receiving unit is used to receive antenna signals implementing the ENDC communication mode, and the third receiving unit is used to receive antenna signals implementing the SA communication mode. Since the first radio frequency processing unit, the second receiving unit, and the third receiving unit have different functions, by connecting the second receiving unit, the first radio frequency processing unit, and the third receiving unit to different second transceiver terminals respectively, controlling the different first transceiver terminals to conduct with the corresponding functional second transceiver terminals can realize different communication functions and the switching between different communication functions, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0064] In one embodiment, the second selection switch 12 includes two fifth transceiver terminals 121 and two sixth transceiver terminals 122. The second selection switch 12 is configured such that each fifth transceiver terminal 121 can selectively conduct with one of the two sixth transceiver terminals 122. A first transceiver terminal 111 is connected to a sixth transceiver terminal 122, and the plurality of antenna radiators 30 includes a second antenna radiator ANT2, which is connected to a fifth transceiver terminal 121.

[0065] In this embodiment, since each of the fifth and sixth transceiver terminals can be selectively turned on, and the second selection switch is connected between the second antenna radiator and the first selection switch, the first radio frequency processing unit can transmit antenna signals to the second antenna radiator through the first and second selection switches, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0066] In one embodiment, another fifth transceiver 121 is connected to the first receiving unit 211.

[0067] In this embodiment, the second antenna radiating unit is connected to the first receiving unit through a second selection switch. The first receiving unit can receive the antenna signal transmitted by the second antenna radiating unit, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0068] In one embodiment, the plurality of receiving units 21 includes a fourth receiving unit 214, which is separately disposed from the radio frequency processing unit 22, and another sixth transceiver terminal 122 is connected to the fourth receiving unit.

[0069] In this embodiment, by setting a fourth receiving unit, since the second antenna radiator can transmit signals to the fourth receiving unit through the second selection switch, the fourth receiving unit can realize SA communication mode, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0070] For example, the plurality of antenna radiators also include a third antenna radiator ANT3 and a fourth antenna radiator ANT4. The third antenna radiator ANT3 is connected to the first first transceiver terminal 111 of the first selection switch 11, the fourth antenna radiator ANT4 is connected to the second first transceiver terminal 111 of the first selection switch 11, and a sixth transceiver terminal 122 is connected to the third first transceiver terminal 111.

[0071] In one embodiment, at least one radio frequency processing unit includes a second radio frequency processing unit PA2, which is connected to a second transceiver terminal 112.

[0072] In this embodiment, by providing a second radio frequency processing unit, the first radio frequency processing unit and the second radio frequency processing unit can respectively amplify the antenna signals of different frequency bands and transmit them through the antenna radiator, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna device.

[0073] In one embodiment, the second radio frequency processing unit PA2 and the second receiving unit 212 are connected to the same second transceiver terminal 112.

[0074] In this embodiment, the second radio frequency processing unit and the second receiving unit are connected to the same second transceiver terminal. The antenna device can receive and transmit antenna signals through the same second transceiver terminal, which reduces the number of signal transceivers required by the first signal switching module, thereby reducing the cost of the antenna device.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, when the antenna device implements SA communication mode, it transmits 5G band antenna signals: the first RF processing unit PA1 and the second RF processing unit PA2 amplify the antenna signals and transmit them to two of the first antenna radiator ANT1, the second antenna radiator ANT2, the third antenna radiator ANT3, and the fourth antenna radiator ANT4, respectively, to transmit the antenna signals. Specifically, the first RF processing unit PA1 can directly transmit the amplified antenna signal to the first antenna radiator ANT1, or it can transmit the amplified antenna signal to the third antenna radiator ANT3 via the first selection switch 11. The second RF processing unit PA2 can transmit the amplified antenna signal to the fourth antenna radiator ANT4 via the first selection switch 11, and the amplified antenna signal from the second RF processing unit PA2 can also be transmitted to the second antenna radiator ANT2 via the first selection switch 11 and the second selection switch 12. The antenna device receives 5G band antenna signals: the first antenna radiator ANT1, the second antenna radiator ANT2, the third antenna radiator ANT3, and the fourth antenna radiator ANT4 transmit the received antenna signals to the corresponding first receiving unit 211, fourth receiving unit 214, second receiving unit 212, and third receiving unit 213, respectively. Specifically, the antenna signal received by the first antenna radiator ANT1 can be directly transmitted to the first receiving unit 211; the antenna signal received by the second antenna radiator ANT2 can be transmitted to the fourth receiving unit 214 via the second selection switch 12; the antenna signal received by the third antenna radiator ANT3 can be transmitted to the second receiving unit 212 via the first selection switch 11 and the third selection switch 51; and the antenna signal received by the fourth antenna radiator ANT4 can be transmitted to the third receiving unit 213 via the first selection switch.

[0076] For example, such as Figure 6As shown, when the antenna device implements ENDC communication mode, the first RF processing unit PA1 and the second RF processing unit PA2 transmit 4G band antenna signals and 5G band antenna signals respectively. The first RF processing unit amplifies the 4G band antenna signal and transmits it to the first antenna radiator ANT1 or the third antenna radiator ANT3 to transmit the antenna signal. The second RF processing unit amplifies the 5G band antenna signal and transmits it to the second antenna radiator ANT2 or the fourth antenna radiator ANT4 to transmit the antenna signal. The antenna signal transmission route is the same as in SA communication mode, and will not be described in detail here. The first receiving unit 211 and the second receiving unit 212 are used to receive 4G band and 5G band antenna signals respectively. The first antenna radiator ANT1, the second antenna radiator ANT2, the third antenna radiator ANT3, and the fourth antenna radiator ANT4 transmit the received antenna signals to the corresponding first receiving unit 211 and second receiving unit 212 respectively. The antenna signal received by the first antenna radiator ANT1 can be directly transmitted to the first receiving unit 211. The antenna signal received by the second antenna radiator ANT2 can be transmitted to the second receiving unit 212 through the second selection switch 12, the first selection switch 11, and the third selection switch 51. The antenna signal received by the third antenna radiator ANT3 can be transmitted to the first receiving unit 211 through the first selection switch 11. The antenna signal received by the fourth antenna radiator ANT4 can be transmitted to the second receiving unit 212 through the first selection switch and the third selection switch.

[0077] For example, the first radio frequency processing unit PA1 and the second radio frequency processing unit PA2 can also transmit antenna signals in the 5G band and the 4G band respectively, and the first receiving unit 211 and the second receiving unit 212 can also receive antenna signals in the 5G band and the 4G band respectively.

[0078] For example, by switching the first selection switch 11, the second selection switch 12, and the third selection switch 51, not only can the ENDC communication mode and the SA communication mode be realized, but also the switching between the two modes can be realized.
