Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to an antenna and audio device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, various electronic devices are being used more and more widely in people's daily lives, and antennas, as the core device for converting electromagnetic waves into circuit energy, are widely used in various electronic devices.
[0003] However, as people's demand for miniaturized products increases, the space for antenna placement becomes increasingly limited, and antenna design becomes more difficult, resulting in lower antenna radiation efficiency and difficulty in meeting user needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an antenna and audio device to improve the antenna's external radiation efficiency.
[0005] This application provides an antenna, including a main antenna, an extended ground wire, a feed spring, and a first ground spring. At least a portion of the main antenna projection area is located outside the motherboard projection area. The main antenna projection area is a region formed by projecting the main antenna along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane, and the motherboard projection area is a region formed by projecting the motherboard along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane. The motherboard plane is the surface of the motherboard used for integrating electronic devices. The feed spring connects the main antenna and the motherboard. At least a portion of the ground wire projection area is located outside the motherboard projection area. A first end of the extended ground wire is coupled to a first end of the main antenna, and a second end of the extended ground wire is coupled to a second end of the main antenna. The ground wire projection area is a region formed by projecting the extended ground wire along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane. The first ground spring connects the extended ground wire and the motherboard.
[0006] This application also provides an audio device, including a motherboard, a battery, a microphone, and the antenna described above, wherein the motherboard and the microphone are respectively connected to the battery.
[0007] The aforementioned antenna and audio equipment are projected perpendicular to the motherboard plane, defining a main antenna projection area, a ground projection area, and a motherboard projection area.

[0024] The antenna in this application embodiment is applied to an electronic device with wireless data transceiver capabilities. Its type is not unique and can include audio devices, wearable devices, routers, mobile phones, etc. No specific limitation is imposed; the antenna can be selected based on actual needs. The audio device can be headphones, a pickup device, a recording device, etc., and no specific limitation is imposed.
[0025] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the following embodiments use a microphone as an example for explanation. Please refer to the relevant documents. Figure 1 The microphone includes a motherboard 11, a battery 12, an antenna feed point 14, an antenna body 13, a button 15, a magnet, and a microphone 17. The antenna covers the top of the motherboard, which has a shielding cover 16 (typically 1.1 mm high). The distance between the antenna and the shielding cover 16 is 1.3 mm to 1.8 mm. The antenna feed point 14 on the motherboard 11, also known as the antenna spring, feeds the motherboard signal to the antenna trace. In such a harsh environment, not only is the antenna inefficient, but routing the trace above the motherboard 11 introduces unknown interference problems. The antenna's radiation efficiency in all directions is low, and its sensitivity deteriorates significantly, resulting in low Wi-Fi throughput and dead zones in many directions.
[0026] To alleviate the above phenomenon, this application proposes a new antenna design scheme, which configures part or all of the antenna traces outside the motherboard projection area, thereby reducing the interference of the motherboard to the antenna. At the same time, it adopts a bidirectional coupling method between the main antenna and the extended ground wire, which better integrates the motherboard as a radiator and participates in antenna radiation together. This makes it more suitable for data transmission in long-distance and wall-penetrating scenarios and improves the external radiation efficiency.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 This application provides an antenna, including a main antenna 110, an extended ground wire 130, a feed spring 120, and a first ground spring 140. At least a portion of the main antenna projection area is located outside the motherboard projection area. The main antenna projection area is the area formed by projecting the main antenna 110 along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane. The motherboard projection area is the area formed by projecting the motherboard (i.e., Figure 11) along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane. The motherboard plane is the surface of the motherboard used for integrating electronic devices. The feed spring 120 connects the main antenna 110 and the motherboard. At least a portion of the ground wire projection area is located outside the motherboard projection area. The first end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the first end of the main antenna 110, and the second end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the second end of the main antenna 110. The ground wire projection area is the area formed by projecting the extended ground wire 130 along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane. The first ground spring 140 connects the extended ground wire 130 and the motherboard.
[0028] Specifically, the main antenna 110 is the wiring responsible for converting guided waves on the transmission line into electromagnetic waves in free space (transmission scenario), or converting electromagnetic waves in space into guided waves (reception scenario). The extended ground wire 130 is used to improve antenna performance by optimizing the grounding environment. The feed spring 120 is used to connect the motherboard and the main antenna 110, transmitting RF signals from the motherboard to the main antenna 110, or feeding back the transmitted signals from the main antenna 110 to the motherboard. The first ground spring 140 is the device that connects the extended ground wire 130 to ground.
[0029] The motherboard is a control circuit board that integrates the main control chip, radio frequency module, and other peripheral circuits, enabling wireless signal transmission and reception control. The motherboard plane is the surface on the motherboard used to integrate various electronic components and route traces.
[0030] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the main antenna projection area formed by projecting the main antenna 110 in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane is disposed outside the motherboard projection area formed by projecting the motherboard in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane, and at least a portion of the ground line projection area formed by projecting the extended ground line 130 in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane is disposed outside the motherboard projection area, thereby reducing the interference of the motherboard area (including the motherboard and various electronic devices integrated on the motherboard) on the antenna traces.
[0031] For more detailed information, please refer to the relevant documents. Figure 2 The motherboard projection area of the main antenna 110 can be entirely configured outside the motherboard projection area, and / or the ground projection area of the extended ground line 130 can be entirely configured outside the motherboard projection area, further reducing the interference of the motherboard to the antenna traces and improving the radiation efficiency.
[0032] It should be noted that the routing method of the main antenna 110 or the extended ground wire 130 is not unique; they can be the same or different, depending on the specific scenario. Taking the main antenna 110 as an example, in one embodiment, the main antenna 110 can be routed along the edge of the motherboard. If the motherboard is circular, the main antenna 110 can be arranged in an arc shape. This method reduces interference to the antenna and places it further away from the shielding cover, thus increasing the antenna's radiation efficiency. In other embodiments, the main antenna 110 can also be arranged as a straight line or an irregular curve, without limitation.
[0033] The main antenna 110 has two ports. The first port of the main antenna 110 is coupled to the first port of the extended ground line 130. Thus, the section of the main antenna 110 from the location of the feed spring 120 to the first port of the main antenna 110, and the section of the extended ground line 130 from the location of the first ground spring 140 to the first port of the extended ground line 130, are excited to form an antenna with a first frequency band. The section of the main antenna 110 from the location of the feed spring 120 to the second port of the main antenna 110, and the section of the extended ground line 130 from the location of the first ground spring 140 to the second port of the extended ground line 130, are excited to form an antenna with a second frequency band. That is, the scheme of this embodiment can form a dual-resonant antenna through bidirectional coupling.
[0034] It is understood that the size of the first and second frequency bands is not unique; they can be the same or different, depending on the specific scenario. For example, in one embodiment, the first frequency band is a 5G band, and the second frequency band is a 2.4G band.
[0035] It should be noted that in actual scenarios, the length of the extended ground wire 130 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The extended ground wire 130 can be connected to the first grounding spring 140 in different wiring methods (it can be connected to different positions of the first grounding spring 140), thereby changing the length of the extended ground wire 130 of the first frequency band antenna or changing the length of the extended ground wire 130 of the second frequency band antenna. The specific configuration can be combined with the actual needs.
[0036] The aforementioned antenna projects in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane, defining a main antenna projection area, a ground projection area, and a motherboard projection area. By configuration, at least a portion of the main antenna projection area and at least a portion of the ground projection area are located outside the motherboard projection area, reducing motherboard interference to the antenna. Furthermore, the first end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the first end of the main antenna 110, and the second end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the second end of the main antenna 110, i.e., a bidirectional coupling method is used to connect the main antenna 110 and the extended ground wire 130. This scheme, by configuring part or all of the antenna traces outside the motherboard projection area and employing a dual-coupled antenna design, reconstructs an antenna capable of achieving multiple antenna resonance modes. It has advantages such as low signal reflection and balanced radiation direction, significantly improving the antenna's external radiation efficiency and fully meeting the requirements of long-distance and wall-penetrating wireless data transmission scenarios.
[0037] In one embodiment, the main antenna 110 includes a connection point for connecting to the feed spring 120. The length of the first main antenna between the connection point and a first end of the main antenna 110 is less than the length of the second main antenna between the connection point and a second end of the main antenna 110.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main antenna 110 is divided into two segments based on the connection point of the feed spring 120. One segment is the area between the connection point and the first end of the main antenna 110, i.e., the first main antenna; the other segment is the area between the connection point and the second end of the main antenna 110, i.e., the second main antenna. In this embodiment, the length of the first main antenna is configured to be less than the length of the second main antenna. Based on the principle that the frequency of the antenna is inversely proportional to its length, the frequency band of the first frequency band antenna formed by the first main antenna and the extended ground line 130 is greater than the frequency band of the second frequency band antenna formed by the second main antenna and the extended ground line 130. By dividing the main antenna 110 into two segments and matching them with different frequency bands, combined with the synergistic effect of the extended ground line 130, independent resonance of high frequency (short antenna) and low frequency (long antenna) is achieved, thereby exciting two different frequency bands: a higher frequency and a lower frequency.
[0039] The above scheme divides the main antenna 110 into a first main antenna and a second main antenna of different lengths by connecting the feed spring 120, thereby exciting two different frequency bands, namely higher frequency and lower frequency, and improving the applicability of the antenna.
[0040] In one embodiment, the length of the second main antenna is 1 to 3 times the length of the first main antenna.
[0041] Specifically, the lengths of the second and first main antennas are not unique; they can be configured according to the actual required frequency band. In this embodiment, the length of the second main antenna is 1 to 3 times the length of the first main antenna. In this way, the frequency of the first frequency band antenna can reach 1 to 3 times that of the second frequency band antenna, which can meet the application scenario where the higher frequency is 1 to 3 times that of the lower frequency.
[0042] In one embodiment, the length of the second main antenna is 1.5 to 2.5 times the length of the first main antenna.
[0043] Specifically, in practical scenarios, a lower frequency of 2.4 GHz and a higher frequency of 5 GHz are typically used as a dual-resonance configuration. To meet this requirement, the length of the second main antenna needs to be approximately twice the length of the first main antenna. However, considering the influence of interference signals, the length of the second main antenna can be 1.5 to 2.5 times the length of the first main antenna. More specifically, in one embodiment, without considering errors caused by interference signals, the length of the second main antenna can be configured to be twice the length of the first main antenna.
[0044] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the antenna further includes a second grounding spring 150, which is connected to the main antenna 110 and the motherboard.
[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, a second grounding spring 150 is also connected to the main antenna 110. The second grounding spring 150 forms a new electrical connection between the main antenna 110 and the motherboard, effectively adding a low-impedance grounding loop to the antenna. This path shortens the effective current return distance, changing the original current distribution pattern of the main antenna 110, thus effectively lengthening or shortening the antenna's electrical length, i.e., changing the antenna's equivalent electrical length and affecting its resonant frequency. Therefore, by adjusting the position or number of the second grounding springs 150, the antenna's operating bandwidth can be expanded or reduced to adapt to multi-band communication requirements.
[0046] It should be noted that the method of connecting the second grounding spring 150 to the main antenna 110 is not unique. In one embodiment, the second grounding spring 150 can be connected to the same location on the main antenna 110 as the feed spring 120, so as to achieve rapid adjustment of the resonant frequency by precisely controlling the electrical length, which is suitable for scenarios with high frequency accuracy requirements. In another embodiment, it can also be connected to different locations, which can expand the operating bandwidth and support multi-band independent optimization by flexibly adjusting the current distribution and impedance matching, which is suitable for complex communication environments that need to cover wide bandwidth or multiple frequency bands. The appropriate method can be selected based on actual needs.
[0047] In one embodiment, the main antenna 110 and the extended ground wire 130 are distributedly coupled together.
[0048] Specifically, the main antenna 110 and the extended ground line 130 form a closed-loop radiator through current coupling, enhancing the low-frequency radiation intensity. This coupling also alters the real part (resistance) and imaginary part (reactance) of the antenna input impedance, achieving impedance matching with the feed spring 120 (feed port). The coupling method between the main antenna 110 and the extended ground line 130 is not unique; it can be electrical connection coupling, capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, distributed coupling, etc., without specific limitations.
[0049] This embodiment uses distributed coupling as an example for explanation. The main antenna 110 and the extended ground wire 130 form a distributed capacitance through a parallel gap, and the edge electric field in the gap becomes the energy transfer path. This coupling method has the advantage of high coupling strength control precision, which greatly improves the transmission accuracy of the antenna.
[0050] In one embodiment, the first distance between the first end of the extended ground wire 130 and the first end of the main antenna 110 is 0.5 mm to 3 mm; and / or, the second distance between the second end of the extended ground wire 130 and the second end of the main antenna 110 is 0.5 mm to 3 mm.
[0051] Specifically, in distributed coupling, it is necessary to extend the distance between the ground wire 130 and the main antenna 110. This involves extending the first distance between the first end of the ground wire 130 and the first end of the main antenna 110, and extending the second distance between the second end of the ground wire 130 and the second end of the main antenna 110. These two distances can be the same or different, depending on the actual requirements. In this embodiment, the first distance can be configured to be 0.5 mm to 3 mm, for example, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, etc., and can be any value between 0.5 mm and 3 mm, without specific limitation. The configuration of the second distance is similar to that of the first distance and will not be repeated here.
[0052] The above scheme configures the first distance to 0.5 mm-3 mm and / or the second distance to 0.5 mm-3 mm. While meeting the coupling requirements between the extended ground wire 130 and the main antenna 110, it can also avoid the distance between the two being too large, which would occupy too much space and is conducive to the miniaturization of the device.
[0053] In one embodiment, the first distance between the first end of the extended ground wire 130 and the first end of the main antenna 110 is 0.5 mm to 2 mm; and / or, the second distance between the second end of the extended ground wire 130 and the second end of the main antenna 110 is 0.5 mm to 2 mm.
[0054] Specifically, in the distributed coupling scheme, increasing the spacing directly leads to the diffusion of the edge electric field distribution, causing the coupling capacitance value to decrease exponentially. Therefore, in this embodiment, to avoid a small coupling capacitance and improve energy transfer efficiency, the first distance can be configured to be 0.5 mm-2 mm, and / or the second distance can be configured to be 0.5 mm-2 mm. For example, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, etc., can be any value between 0.5 mm and 2 mm, and there is no specific limitation.
[0055] The above scheme configures the first distance to 0.5 mm-2 mm and / or the second distance to 0.5 mm-2 mm, thereby forming strong capacitive coupling and greatly improving the energy transfer efficiency of the antenna.
[0056] In one embodiment, the first coupling projection region is located outside the motherboard projection region, and / or the second coupling projection region is located outside the motherboard projection region.
[0057] The first coupling projection area is the area formed by projecting the first coupling position along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane. The first coupling position is the location point where the first end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the first end of the main antenna 110. The second coupling projection area is the area formed by projecting the second coupling position along a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane. The second coupling position is the location point where the second end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the second end of the main antenna 110.
[0058] In practical scenarios, the point where the first end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the first end of the main antenna 110 can be configured outside the motherboard projection area, depending on the requirements. This reduces the impact of the motherboard on this point, lowers electromagnetic interference, optimizes impedance matching, enhances signal transmission efficiency, improves radiation efficiency, expands model coverage, and supports flexible multi-band optimization to adapt to complex environments, ultimately significantly improving the sensitivity of the coupling point. Alternatively, the point where the second end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the second end of the main antenna 110 can also be configured outside the motherboard projection area to reduce the impact of the motherboard on this point and improve the coupling reliability between the second end of the extended ground wire 130 and the second end of the main antenna 110. More specifically, in one embodiment, both of the above points can be configured outside the motherboard projection area; the choice can be made based on actual needs.
[0059] In one embodiment, the main antenna 110 is disposed on the periphery of the motherboard, and the main antenna 110 is spaced apart from the sidewall of the motherboard by a preset distance; the extended ground wire 130 is disposed on the periphery of the motherboard, and the extended ground wire 130 is spaced apart from the sidewall of the motherboard by a preset distance.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, based on the routing of the main antenna 110 and the extended ground line 130 along the edge of the motherboard, the main antenna 110 and the extended ground line 130 are both set at a preset distance from the motherboard sidewall. This ensures that the projections of the main antenna 110 and the extended ground line 130 onto the main antenna projection area are completely outside the motherboard projection area. In this way, while ensuring the product size is not excessively large, interference to the antenna is minimized, further improving the overall performance of the antenna.
[0061] The preset distance is not unique, and the preset distances of the main antenna 110 and the extended ground wire 130 can be the same or different. The specific choice can be made according to actual needs, and there is no limitation here.
[0062] This application also provides an audio device, including a motherboard, a battery, a microphone, and the aforementioned antenna, wherein the motherboard and the microphone are respectively connected to the battery.
[0063] Specifically, this embodiment uses the application of the above-mentioned antenna in an audio device as an example for explanation and illustration. The specific structure and configuration of the antenna are as shown in the above embodiments and accompanying drawings, and will not be repeated here.
[0064] The aforementioned audio device projects data in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane, defining a main antenna projection area, a ground projection area, and a motherboard projection area. By configuration, at least a portion of the main antenna projection area and at least a portion of the ground projection area are located outside the motherboard projection area, reducing motherboard interference to the antenna. Furthermore, the first end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the first end of the main antenna 110, and the second end of the extended ground wire 130 is coupled to the second end of the main antenna 110, i.e., a bidirectional coupling method is used to connect the main antenna 110 and the extended ground wire 130. This solution, by configuring part or all of the antenna traces outside the motherboard projection area and employing a dual-coupled antenna design, reconstructs an antenna capable of achieving multiple antenna resonance modes. It has advantages such as low signal reflection and balanced radiation direction, significantly improving the antenna's external radiation efficiency and fully meeting the requirements of long-distance and wall-penetrating wireless data transmission scenarios.
[0065] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the audio device includes a housing, a main antenna 110, and / or an extended ground wire 130 disposed on the outer surface of the housing.
[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main antenna 110 and / or the extended ground wire 130 are disposed on the outer surface of the housing, thereby enabling wireless communication with other devices (such as routers or mobile phones). Spatial electromagnetic waves can be received by the antenna without passing through the housing, which can further improve the antenna radiation efficiency of the audio device.
[0067] It is understood that the method of setting the main antenna 110 and / or extended ground wire 130 on the outer surface of the housing is not unique. In one embodiment, the main antenna 110 and / or extended ground wire 130 can be directly laid on the outer surface of the housing. In another embodiment, the outer surface of the housing can be grooved first, and then the main antenna 110 and / or extended ground wire 130 can be laid in the groove. In other embodiments, the housing can also have a through hole that penetrates the inside and outside of the housing, and the main antenna 110 and / or extended ground wire 130 can be filled in the through hole. The specific arrangement can be determined according to actual needs.
[0068] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the following detailed embodiments will be used to explain and illustrate this application.
[0069] In this embodiment, the antenna is applied to an audio device. The projection area of the main antenna 110, projected perpendicularly to the motherboard plane, is entirely located outside the motherboard projection area. Similarly, the projection area of the ground wire, projected perpendicularly to the motherboard plane, is entirely located outside the motherboard projection area. The main antenna 110 includes a connection point that divides it into a first main antenna (connection point to the first end of the main antenna 110) and a second main antenna (connection point to the second end of the main antenna 110). The connection point of the main antenna 110 is connected to the motherboard via a feed spring 120. A first ground spring 140 is positioned opposite the feed spring 120, connecting the extended ground wire 130 and the motherboard. A second ground spring 150 is also positioned at the feed spring 120, connecting the second main antenna to the motherboard via the second ground spring 150.
[0070] The first coupling projection area, formed by projecting the location where the first main antenna is coupled to the extended ground line 130 in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane, is located outside the motherboard projection area. Similarly, the second coupling projection area, formed by projecting the location where the second main antenna is coupled to the extended ground line 130 in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard plane, is also located outside the motherboard projection area. The coupling gap between the first main antenna and the extended ground line 130 (as a 5G coupling section) is 0.5mm-2mm, and the coupling gap between the second main antenna and the extended ground line 130 (as a 2.4G coupling section) is 0.5mm-2mm. The length of the second main antenna is configured to be 1.5 to 2.5 times the length of the first main antenna.
[0071] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The S11 return loss waveform, antenna radiation efficiency waveform, and Smith chart of the audio device were obtained respectively. Combining the waveforms, it can be seen that the average antenna radiation efficiency of 2.4G is above 35%, and the average antenna radiation efficiency of 5G is above 40%, which meets the basic design requirements.
