Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of this invention from the content disclosed in this specification. This invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of this invention. Furthermore, it should be stated in advance that the drawings of this invention are for simple illustration only and are not depictions based on actual dimensions. The following embodiments will further describe the relevant technical content of this invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. In addition, the term "or" used herein may, depending on the actual situation, include any combination of any one or more of the associated listed items.

[0019] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, the present invention provides an adjustable directional antenna module M, which may include at least: a first carrier substrate 1, a second carrier substrate 2, a signal control chip 3, a common conductive structure 4, a first antenna structure 5, a second antenna structure 6, a third antenna structure 7, a fourth antenna structure 8, and a signal feed structure 9. For example, the signal control chip 3, the common conductive structure 4 (e.g., a common radiator), the first antenna structure 5 (e.g., a first radiator), the second antenna structure 6 (e.g., a second radiator), and the signal feed structure 9 can all be disposed on the same surface of the first carrier substrate 1 to form a first antenna assembly having a first radio frequency circuit. Furthermore, the third antenna structure 7 (e.g., a third radiator) and the fourth antenna structure 8 (e.g., a fourth radiator) can both be disposed on the same surface of the second carrier substrate 2 to form a second antenna assembly having a second radio frequency circuit. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first carrier substrate 1 and the second carrier substrate 2 can be coupled to each other in any way. For example, the first carrier substrate 1 may have a first mating portion 101, and the second carrier substrate 2 may have a second mating portion 201 corresponding to the first mating portion 101. Thus, as shown in Figures 5 to 7, when the first mating portion 101 of the first carrier substrate 1 and the second mating portion 201 of the second carrier substrate 2 are coupled to each other, the first carrier substrate 1 and the second carrier substrate 2 may be arranged in a mutually intersecting manner. Furthermore, in one feasible embodiment, the first mating portion 101 may be configured as a first slot (or a first recess), and the second mating portion 201 may be configured as a second slot (or a second recess) that mates with the first slot. In addition, the first carrier substrate 1 may have a first insertion portion 102 (or a first strip-shaped embedding portion) corresponding to the second mating portion 201, and the second carrier substrate 2 may have a second insertion portion 202 (or a second strip-shaped embedding portion) corresponding to the first mating portion 101. Furthermore, the first insertion portion 102 of the first carrier substrate 1 can be accommodated within the second mating portion 201 of the second carrier substrate 2, and the second insertion portion 202 of the second carrier substrate 2 can be accommodated within the first mating portion 101 of the first carrier substrate 1, so that the first carrier substrate 1 and the second carrier substrate 2 can be mutually interlocked. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, when the first mating portion 101 of the first carrier substrate 1 and the second mating portion 201 of the second carrier substrate 2 are mutually mated, the first carrier substrate 1 and the second carrier substrate 2 can be arranged perpendicularly to each other. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the signal control chip 3 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1, and the common conductive structure 4 can also be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1. For example, the signal control chip 3 can be a central processing unit (CPU), digital signal processor (DSP), microprocessor (MPU), microcontroller (MCU), or any type of signal control chip. Additionally, the common conductive structure 4 can have a guiding portion 41, a gradually expanding portion 42 connected to the guiding portion 41, and a protruding portion 43 connected to the gradually expanding portion 42. The guiding portion 41 can be located away from the first antenna structure 5 and the second antenna structure 6. The area of ​​the gradually expanding portion 42 can gradually increase from the guiding portion 41 to the protruding portion 43, and the protruding portion 43 can be located between the first antenna structure 5 and the second antenna structure 6. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first antenna structure 5 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1 and electrically connected between the common conductive structure 4 and the signal control chip 3; the second antenna structure 6 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1 and electrically connected between the common conductive structure 4 and the signal control chip 3; the third antenna structure 7 can be disposed on the second carrier substrate 2 and electrically connected between the common conductive structure 4 and the signal control chip 3; and the fourth antenna structure 8 can be disposed on the second carrier substrate 2 and electrically connected between the common conductive structure 4 and the signal control chip 3. For example, the first antenna structure 5 can have a first body portion 51, a first vertical extension portion 52 extending vertically from the first body portion 51, and a first horizontal extension portion 53 extending horizontally from the first body portion 51. Furthermore, the second antenna structure 6 can have a second body portion 61, a second vertical extension portion 62 extending vertically from the second body portion 61, and a second horizontal extension portion 63 extending horizontally from the second body portion 61. Furthermore, the third antenna structure 7 may have a third body portion 71, a third vertical extension portion 72 extending vertically from the third body portion 71, and a third horizontal extension portion 73 extending horizontally from the third body portion 71. Additionally, the fourth antenna structure 8 may have a fourth body portion 81, a fourth vertical extension portion 82 extending vertically from the fourth body portion 81, and a fourth horizontal extension portion 83 extending horizontally from the fourth body portion 81. However, the examples described above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] It is worth noting that, for example, as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the signal feed structure 9 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1 and electrically connected to the common conductive structure 4.

More specifically, the signal feed structure 9 can be disposed between the common conductive structure 4, the first antenna structure 5, the second antenna structure 6, and the grounding structure G. In addition, the grounding structure G can have a main body G11, a tapered portion G12 connected to the main body G11, and an extension portion G13 connected to the tapered portion G12. The main body G11 can be adjacent to the signal feed structure 9 and located between the first antenna structure 5 and the second antenna structure 6. The area of ​​the tapered portion G12 gradually decreases from the main body G11 to the extension portion G13, and the extension portion G13 can extend away from the signal feed structure 9. Additionally, the signal transmission line C may include a central conductive portion C11 (e.g., a metal wire) electrically connected to the signal feed structure 9 and a peripheral ground portion C12 (e.g., a metal braided mesh) electrically connected to the grounding structure G. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] It is worth noting that, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first carrier substrate 1 may include a first conductive line layer 11 electrically connected between the first antenna structure 5 and the signal control chip 3, a second conductive line layer 12 electrically connected between the second antenna structure 6 and the signal control chip 3, and a fifth conductive line layer 13 electrically connected between the common conductive structure 4 and the signal control chip 3. Furthermore, in one feasible embodiment, the first antenna structure 5 may be electrically connected to the signal control chip 3 sequentially via a first inductor element L1 (e.g., a chip inductor), a first diode element D1 (e.g., a diode chip), and a first resistor element R1 (e.g., a chip resistor). The first inductor element L1, the first diode element D1, and the first resistor element R1 may be disposed on and electrically connected to the first conductive line layer 11, and one end of the first inductor element L1 may be disposed on the first antenna structure 5. Furthermore, in one feasible embodiment, the second antenna structure 6 can be electrically connected to the signal control chip 3 sequentially via a second inductor L2 (e.g., a chip inductor), a second diode D2 (e.g., a diode chip), and a second resistor R2 (e.g., a chip resistor). The second inductor L2, the second diode D2, and the second resistor R2 can be disposed on and electrically connected to the second conductive line layer 12, and one end of the second inductor L2 can be disposed on the second antenna structure 6. Additionally, in one feasible embodiment, the common conductive structure 4 can be electrically connected to the signal control chip 3 via a fifth inductor L5 (e.g., a chip inductor). The fifth inductor L5 can be disposed on and electrically connected to the fifth conductive line layer 13, and one end of the fifth inductor L5 can be disposed on the common conductive structure 4. However, the examples given above are merely feasible embodiments and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0025] It is worth noting that, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the second carrier substrate 2 may include a third conductive line layer 21 electrically connected between the third antenna structure 7 and the signal control chip 3, and a fourth conductive line layer 22 electrically connected between the fourth antenna structure 8 and the signal control chip 3. Furthermore, in one feasible embodiment, the third antenna structure 7 may be electrically connected to the signal control chip 3 sequentially via a third inductor element L3 (e.g., a chip inductor), a third diode element D3 (e.g., a diode chip), and a third resistor element R3 (e.g., a chip resistor). The third inductor element L3, the third diode element D3, and the third resistor element R3 may be disposed on and electrically connected to the third conductive line layer 21, and one end of the third inductor element L3 may be disposed on the third antenna structure 7. In another feasible embodiment, the fourth antenna structure 8 can be electrically connected to the signal control chip 3 sequentially via a fourth inductor L4 (e.g., a chip inductor), a fourth diode D4 (e.g., a diode chip), and a fourth resistor R4 (e.g., a chip resistor). The fourth inductor L4, the fourth diode D4, and the fourth resistor R4 can be disposed on and electrically connected to the fourth conductive line layer 22, and one end of the fourth inductor L4 can be disposed on the fourth antenna structure 8. However, the examples given above are merely feasible embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] It is worth noting that, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the common conductive structure 4 can be electrically connected to the first antenna structure 5 through a first bridging electronic element E1, the common conductive structure 4 can be electrically connected to the second antenna structure 6 through a second bridging electronic element E2, the common conductive structure 4 can be electrically connected to the third antenna structure 7 through a third bridging electronic element E3, the common conductive structure 4 can be electrically connected to the fourth antenna structure 8 through a fourth bridging electronic element E4, and the common conductive structure 4 can be electrically connected to the signal feed structure 9 through a fifth bridging electronic element E5. Furthermore, the first bridging electronic element E1, the second bridging electronic element E2, the third bridging electronic element E3, and the fourth bridging electronic element E4 can all be diode elements (e.g., diode chips), and the fifth bridging electronic element E5 is a capacitor element (e.g., a chip capacitor). However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] It is worth noting that, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the common conductive structure 4 may have a conductive through-structure 40 penetrating the first carrier substrate 1, and the conductive through-structure 40 may have a first padding area 401 and a second padding area 402 opposite to the first padding area 401. Furthermore, the second carrier substrate 2 may have a first bridging line layer 23 electrically connected to the first padding area 401 and a second bridging line layer 24 electrically connected to the second padding area 402. A third bridging electronic component E3 may be disposed between the third antenna structure 7 and the first bridging line layer 23, and a fourth bridging electronic component E4 may be disposed between the fourth antenna structure 8 and the second bridging line layer 24. Additionally, the first carrier substrate 1 may have a front conductive line layer 14 and a back conductive line layer 15 opposite to the front conductive line layer 14, and the third conductive line layer 21 may be electrically connected to the signal control chip 3 through the front conductive line layer 14, and the fourth conductive line layer 22 may be electrically connected to the signal control chip 3 through the back conductive line layer 15. However, the examples given above are merely one possible embodiment and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0028] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 to 7, the first antenna structure 5, the common conductive structure 4, the first conductive line layer 11, and the fifth conductive line layer 13 can cooperate (electrically cooperate) to form a first signal loop electrically connected to the signal control chip 3. Furthermore, the second antenna structure 6, the common conductive structure 4, the second conductive line layer 12, and the fifth conductive line layer 13 can cooperate (electrically cooperate) to form a second signal loop electrically connected to the signal control chip 3. Additionally, the third antenna structure 7, the common conductive structure 4, the third conductive line layer 21, and the fifth conductive line layer 13 can cooperate (electrically cooperate) to form a third signal loop electrically connected to the signal control chip 3. Finally, the fourth antenna structure 8, the common conductive structure 4, the fourth conductive line layer 22, and the fifth conductive line layer 13 can cooperate (electrically cooperate) to form a fourth signal loop electrically connected to the signal control chip 3. Therefore, the signal control chip 3 can be configured to control whether voltage is allowed to pass through at least one of the first signal loop, the second signal loop, the third signal loop, and the fourth signal loop (or, the signal control chip 3 can be configured to control whether voltage is allowed to pass through at least one of the first antenna structure 5, the second antenna structure 6, the third antenna structure 7, and the fourth antenna structure 8). In one feasible embodiment, when the signal control chip 3 is used with an algorithm to intelligently determine the location of the antenna signal source (or the location of the user using a portable electronic device with wireless transceiver function), the signal control chip 3 can control the voltage to pass through at least one of the four signal circuits (i.e., control the current path) based on the location of the antenna signal source (or the location of the user using a portable electronic device with wireless transceiver function). Therefore, the radiation pattern generated by the adjustable directional antenna module M can be automatically adjusted, thereby enabling the adjustable directional antenna module M and the antenna signal source (or the portable electronic device with wireless transceiver function) to transmit signals more efficiently. In other words, without adjusting the orientation or position of the adjustable directional antenna module M, the antenna performance (signal reception and signal transmission performance) of the adjustable directional antenna module M can be adaptively or automatically adjusted to the optimal state by controlling whether the voltage allows at least one of the first antenna structure 5, the second antenna structure 6, the third antenna structure 7, and the fourth antenna structure 8. This allows users to perform point-to-point signal reception and transmission through portable electronic devices in different orientations or positions.

[0029] It is worth noting that, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 7, in one feasible embodiment, the present invention provides an adjustable directional antenna module M, which may include at least: a first carrier substrate 1, a second carrier substrate 2, a signal control chip 3, a common conductive structure 4, and multiple antenna structures (e.g., at least one of a first antenna structure 5, a second antenna structure 6, a third antenna structure 7, and a fourth antenna structure 8). Furthermore, the first carrier substrate 1 and the second carrier substrate 2 can cooperate with each other so that the first carrier substrate 1 and the second carrier substrate 2 can be arranged in a mutually intersecting manner. In addition, the signal control chip 3 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1, and the common conductive structure 4 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1. Furthermore, each antenna structure can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1 or the second carrier substrate 2, and multiple antenna structures can be electrically connected between the common conductive structure 4 and the signal control chip 3. Therefore, when the signal control chip 3 is configured to control whether voltage is allowed to pass through at least one of the multiple antenna structures, the radiation pattern generated by the adjustable directional antenna module M can be adjusted according to the orientation or location of the user's portable electronic device. In one feasible embodiment, when the signal control chip 3 is used with an algorithm to intelligently determine the location of the antenna signal source (or the location of the user using a portable electronic device with wireless transceiver capabilities), the signal control chip 3 can control the voltage to allow passage through one or more specific antenna structures (i.e., control the current path) based on the location of the antenna signal source (or the location of the user using a portable electronic device with wireless transceiver capabilities). Therefore, the radiation pattern generated by the adjustable directional antenna module M can be automatically adjusted, thereby enabling more efficient signal transmission between the adjustable directional antenna module M and the antenna signal source (or the portable electronic device with wireless transceiver capabilities). In other words, without adjusting the orientation or position of the adjustable directional antenna module M, the antenna performance (signal reception and signal transmission performance) of the adjustable directional antenna module M can be adaptively or automatically adjusted to the optimal state by controlling whether the voltage is allowed to pass through at least one of the multiple antenna structures. This allows users to receive and transmit signals point-to-point from different orientations or positions using portable electronic devices.

[0030] It is worth noting that, for example, as shown in Figure 8, the adjustable directional antenna module M provided by the present invention can be electrically connected to an indicator light module L, which may include multiple LED light sources, via wires, and the signal reception strength or signal transmission strength of the adjustable directional antenna module M can be indicated by the indicator light module L to provide a reference for the user.

[0031] [Beneficial Effects of the Examples]

[0032] One of the beneficial effects of the present invention is that the adjustable directional antenna module M provided by the present invention can be configured to control whether voltage is allowed to pass through at least one of the multiple antenna structures (e.g., at least one of a first antenna structure 5, a second antenna structure 6, a third antenna structure 7, and a fourth antenna structure 8) through the technical solutions of "signal control chip 3 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1", "common conductive structure 4 can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1", "each antenna structure can be disposed on the first carrier substrate 1 or the second carrier substrate 2" and "multiple antenna structures are electrically connected between the common conductive structure 4 and the signal control chip 3).

[0033] Furthermore, the first carrier substrate 1 may have a first mating portion 101, and the second carrier substrate 2 may have a second mating portion 201 corresponding to the first mating portion 101. Thus, when the first mating portion 101 of the first carrier substrate 1 and the second mating portion 201 of the second carrier substrate 2 are mated together, the first carrier substrate 1 and the second carrier substrate 2 may be arranged in a mutually intersecting manner.
