[0037] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises:
[0038] The frame structure 10 comprises a top edge frame 11 and a first side edge frame 12 connected in sequence;
[0039] The first antenna 20 has a radiation branch arranged on the top edge frame 11;
[0040] The second antenna 30 comprises a first feed source 31, a first radiation branch 32 and a second radiation branch 33, the first radiation branch 32 and the second radiation branch 33 are arranged on the first side edge frame 12, and the first side edge frame 12 is provided with a first break 121, the first radiation branch 32 and the second radiation branch 33 are coupled and connected through the first break 121, the first feed source 31 is electrically connected with a first feed point 321 on the first radiation branch 32, one end of the first radiation branch 32 away from the first break 121 is grounded, and one end of the second radiation branch 33 away from the first break 121 is grounded;
[0041] The traveling wave suppression structure is used to suppress the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the first side edge frame 12 is away from the top edge frame 11.
[0042] In some embodiments, the first direction is also parallel to the length direction of the first side edge frame 12.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 3, the above-mentioned frame structure 10 can be understood as the frame structure of the electronic device, which can not only comprise the top edge frame 11 and the first side edge frame 12, but also comprise a bottom edge frame 13 and a second side edge frame 14, and the top edge frame 11, the first side edge frame 12, the bottom edge frame 13 and the second side edge frame 14 can be connected in sequence and surround to form the frame structure of the electronic device.
[0044] It can be understood that the frame structure 10 can be a metal frame, or a frame structure formed by combining metal and plastic. In the case of the frame structure 10 formed by combining metal and plastic, the metal part in the frame structure 10 can be used to arrange the radiation branch of the antenna, such as the first radiation branch 32 and the second radiation branch 33 of the second antenna 30.
[0045] In the case that the electronic device is a mobile phone, the top bezel 11 and the bottom bezel 13 are arranged in parallel, and the first side bezel 12 and the second side bezel 14 are arranged in parallel.
[0046] The first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 can be understood as two antennas of the electronic device in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) working mode, so that the electronic device can maintain good communication ability in different application scenarios.
[0047] In some embodiments, the working frequency bands of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 are the same.
[0048] In some embodiments, by grounding the end of the first radiating branch 32 away from the first discontinuous gap 121 and grounding the end of the second radiating branch 33 away from the first discontinuous gap 121, the second antenna 30 can generate traveling wave currents propagating along both ends of the first side bezel 12 when working, such as the upward traveling wave current TW1 and the downward traveling wave current TW2.
[0049] Wherein, the upward traveling wave current TW1 can be understood as a traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the opposite direction of the first direction, and the downward traveling wave current TW2 can be understood as a traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction, that is, the directions of the upward traveling wave current TW1 and the downward traveling wave current TW2 are opposite.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first antenna 20 can be a WiFi antenna arranged on the top bezel 11 to meet the communication needs of the electronic device in a vertical screen scenario, and the second antenna 30 can be a WiFi antenna arranged on the first side bezel 12 to meet the communication needs of the electronic device in a horizontal screen scenario.
[0051] Since the radiation generated by the traveling wave will tilt in the direction of phase lag, that is, the radiation direction will deviate to the direction of the traveling wave current propagation, and the traveling wave current on the side bezel will drive the synthesized pattern of the antenna to tilt in the corresponding direction, thereby affecting the radiation proportion of the antenna in the target radiation direction, that is, affecting the communication quality of the antenna.
[0052] In this embodiment, by setting the traveling wave suppression structure, the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction can be suppressed, thereby enhancing the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the opposite direction of the first direction, improving the radiation ability of the second antenna 30 in the opposite direction of the first direction, and further improving the radiation ability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the opposite direction of the first direction, to improve the radiation ability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30, and achieve the purpose of improving the communication quality of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30.
[0053] In some embodiments, in the case that the electronic device is a mobile phone, especially in the case that the communication scenario in which the electronic device is located is a weak signal scenario, such as the distance between the electronic device and the WiFi router is far, resulting in poor communication quality of the related WiFi antenna. By setting the traveling wave suppression structure in the present application, the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 on the first side frame 12 towards the first direction is suppressed, that is, the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction is suppressed, which can enhance the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 in the opposite direction of the first direction, so as to improve the radiation ability of the second antenna 30 in the opposite direction of the first direction. In this way, without changing the antenna layout, the radiation proportion of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20 can be improved, that is, the radiation ability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20 can be improved, and then the transmission rate and user experience of the electronic device in the weak signal scenario such as the bedroom can be improved.
[0054] In some embodiments, the first antenna 20 can be a WiFi antenna arranged on the top frame 11, the second antenna 30 can be a WiFi antenna arranged on the first side frame 12, and the second antenna 30 can work in an inverted-F antenna (IFA) mode.
[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the traveling wave suppression structure includes a first metal connection segment 122 arranged on the first side frame 12, and the first side frame 12 further has a second break 123 arranged thereon. One end of the first metal connection segment 122 close to the second radiation branch 33 is grounded, and the other end of the first metal connection segment 122 away from the second radiation branch 33 is arranged separately from the frame body of the first side frame 12 through the second break 123.
[0056] In some embodiments, the length of the first metal connection segment 122 is close to 1 / 4λ, and λ is the medium wavelength corresponding to the working frequency band of the second antenna 30.
[0057] The length of the first metal connection segment 122 close to 1 / 4λ can be understood as that the length of the first metal connection segment 122 is approximately equal to 1 / 4λ, or the length of the first metal connection segment 122 is between 0.95*1 / 4λ and 1.05*1 / 4λ.
[0058] It can be understood that the length of the first metal connection segment 122 close to 1 / 4λ is set, that is, the actual length of the length of the first metal connection segment 122 can be set based on communication requirements, as long as the current mode of the first metal connection segment 122 is in a monopole form.
[0059] In this embodiment, the length of the first metal connecting section 122 is set to be close to 1 / 4λ, so that the current mode of the first metal connecting section 122 is in the form of a monopole, thereby effectively suppressing the traveling wave current in the first direction of the second antenna 30 and improving the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20.
[0060] In the case where the working frequency band of the second antenna 30 is WiFi 2.4G, if the first metal connecting section 122 is not arranged on the first side frame 12 to suppress the traveling wave current in the first direction of the second antenna 30, the traveling wave current distribution of the second antenna 30 is shown in FIG. 6, specifically, the A11 area is the antenna body resonant current distribution of the second antenna 30, and the A101 area shows an obvious downward traveling wave current state; if the first metal connecting section 122 is arranged on the first side frame 12 to suppress the traveling wave current in the first direction of the second antenna 30, the traveling wave current distribution of the second antenna 30 is shown in FIG. 7, specifically, the A12 area is the antenna body resonant current distribution of the second antenna 30, and the A102 area is the resonant current of the suppression structure. It can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7 that the current outside the A12 and A102 areas is weak and no longer presents a downward traveling wave current state, that is, by arranging the traveling wave suppression structure-the first metal connecting section 122, the traveling wave current in the first direction of the second antenna 30 can be effectively suppressed, and the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20 is improved.
[0061] FIG. 8 is a directional diagram of the second antenna without the traveling wave suppression structure, and FIG. 9 is a directional diagram of the second antenna with the traveling wave suppression structure. In the directional diagram shown in FIG. 8, the upper hemisphere radiation accounts for about 49%, while in the directional diagram shown in FIG. 9, the upper hemisphere radiation accounts for about 70%; it can be seen that the arrangement of the traveling wave suppression structure can effectively improve the upper hemisphere radiation of the second antenna 30.
[0062] FIG. 10 is a comparison of the directional diagrams in the two sections in the longitudinal direction in the case where the traveling wave suppression structure is not arranged and in the case where the traveling wave suppression structure is arranged, and it can be seen from the comparison result that the upper hemisphere radiation of the second antenna 30 is effectively improved in the case where the traveling wave suppression structure-the first metal connecting section 122 is arranged.
[0063] FIG. 11 is a comparison of the directional diagrams in the two sections in the longitudinal direction in the case where the traveling wave suppression structure is not arranged and in the case where the traveling wave suppression structure is arranged, and it can be seen from the comparison result that the upper hemisphere radiation of the second antenna 30 is effectively improved in the case where the traveling wave suppression structure-the first metal connecting section 122 is arranged.
[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the electronic device further comprises a third antenna 40, the third antenna 40 comprising a second feed source 41 and a third radiation branch 42, the third radiation branch 42 being disposed on the frame structure 10 and located between the second discontinuity 123 and the third discontinuity 15 on the frame structure 10, the second feed source 41 being electrically connected with a second feed point 421 on the third radiation branch 42;
[0065] The traveling wave suppression structure comprises a first connection section of the third radiation branch 42 between the second feed point 421 and the second discontinuity 123, and the first connection section operates in a 3 / 4λ monopole mode.
[0066] In this embodiment, the length of the first connection section can be set so that the first connection section operates in a 3 / 4λ monopole mode, which can effectively suppress the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction and improve the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20.
[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the third antenna 40 further comprises a tuning circuit 43, a capacitor 44 and an inductor 45, an input end of the tuning circuit 43 being electrically connected with an output end of the second feed source 41, an output end of the tuning circuit 43 being electrically connected with a first end of the inductor 45, a second end of the inductor 45 being electrically connected with the second feed point 421 on the third radiation branch 42, a first end of the capacitor 44 being electrically connected with the second end of the inductor 45, and a second end of the capacitor 44 being grounded.
[0068] The tuning circuit 43 can be a phase modulation circuit composed of at least one of a switch, a capacitor and an inductor to meet the communication requirements of the third antenna 40.
[0069] In some embodiments, the traveling wave suppression structure further comprises a second connection section of the third radiation branch 42 between the second feed point 421 and the third discontinuity 15, and the second connection section operates in a 3 / 4λ monopole mode.
[0070] In this embodiment, the length of the second connection section can be set so that the second connection section operates in a 3 / 4λ monopole mode, which can effectively suppress the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction and improve the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20.
[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the traveling wave suppression structure further includes a third connecting segment 124 disposed on the first side frame 12, the third connecting segment 124 being located between the second radiation branch 33 and the first metal connecting segment 122, the third connecting segment 124 being a non-metal connecting segment, and the length of the third connecting segment 124 being close to 1 / 2λ.
[0072] The length of the third connecting segment 124 being close to 1 / 2λ can be understood as the length of the third connecting segment 124 being approximately equal to 1 / 2λ, or the length of the third connecting segment 124 being between 0.95*1 / 2λ and 1.05*1 / 2λ.
[0073] In the embodiment, by setting the third connecting segment 124 located between the second radiation branch 33 and the first metal connecting segment 122 as a non-metal connecting segment, and setting the length of the third connecting segment 124 close to 1 / 2λ, and using the respective ground returns of the second radiation branch 33 and the first metal connecting segment 122, the third connecting segment 124 can form a loop half-wavelength mode, and the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction can be effectively suppressed, and the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20 is improved.
[0074] In some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a fourth antenna 50, and the radiation branch of the fourth antenna 50 is located between the first radiation branch 22 and the top frame 11 to improve the antenna layout of the electronic device.
[0075] The fourth antenna 50 can be a middle-high frequency antenna or other antenna.
[0076] Specifically, the ground return structure of the fourth antenna 50 can be arranged in the corner region corresponding to the first side frame 12 and the top frame 11, that is, a non-donor design of the fourth antenna 50 and the second antenna 30 is achieved, the suppression of the fourth antenna 50 on the upward traveling wave current can be effectively weakened, the proportion of the upward traveling wave current of the second antenna 30 is improved, that is, the upper hemisphere radiation proportion of the second antenna 30 is improved, and the purpose of improving the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20 on the basis of improving the antenna layout of the electronic device is achieved.
[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, the length of the second radiation branch 33 is close to 1 / 4λ.
[0078] The length of the second radiation branch 33 being close to 1 / 4λ can be understood as the length of the second radiation branch 33 being approximately equal to 1 / 4λ, or the length of the second radiation branch 33 being between 0.95*1 / 4λ and 1.05*1 / 4λ.
[0079] In the embodiment, by setting the length of the second radiating branch 33 to be close to 1 / 4λ, the second radiating branch 33 can generate a monopole quarter-wavelength operating mode, which has a significant inhibitory effect on the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction, thereby improving the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20.
[0080] It should be noted that, in the case where the length of the second radiating branch 33 is close to 1 / 4λ, the efficiency of the second antenna 30 at a higher frequency can be reduced due to the introduction of the slog differential mode between the two grounding points of the second antenna 30.
[0081] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13, the traveling wave suppression structure further includes a fourth connecting segment 125 arranged on the first side frame 12, the fourth connecting segment 125 being located between the second radiating branch 33 and the first metal connecting segment 122, and the first side frame 12 further being provided with a fourth slit 126 separating the second radiating branch 33 and the fourth connecting segment 125, the fourth connecting segment 125 and the first metal connecting segment 122 sharing a grounding structure, and the length of the fourth connecting segment 125 being close to 1 / 4λ.
[0082] The length of the fourth connecting segment 125 being close to 1 / 4λ can be understood as the length of the fourth connecting segment 125 being approximately equal to 1 / 4λ, or the length of the fourth connecting segment 125 being between 0.95*1 / 4λ and 1.05*1 / 4λ.
[0083] In the embodiment, by arranging the fourth connecting segment 125 and the fourth slit 126, setting the length of the fourth connecting segment 125 to be close to 1 / 4λ, and setting the fourth connecting segment 125 and the first metal connecting segment 122 to share a grounding structure, the fourth connecting segment 125 and the first metal connecting segment 122 can form quarter-wavelength monopole modes respectively, thereby effectively suppressing the traveling wave current in the second antenna 30 towards the first direction, and improving the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20.
[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the electronic device further includes a fifth antenna 60, and the first side frame 12 is provided with a fifth slit 127, and the radiating branch of the fifth antenna 60 is arranged on the first side frame 12 and located between the first slit 121 and the fifth slit 127.
[0085] The end of the first radiating branch 32 away from the first slit 121 is electrically connected through a second metal connecting segment 34 and a grounding structure 35, the second metal connecting segment 34 is parallel to the first side frame 12, the length of the second metal connecting segment 34 is close to 1 / 4λ and less than 1 / 4λ, and a tuning network 36 is further arranged between the second metal connecting segment 34 and the grounding structure 35.
[0086] The length of the second metal connecting segment 34 is close to 1 / 4λ, which can be understood as that the length of the second metal connecting segment 34 is approximately equal to 1 / 4λ, or the length of the second metal connecting segment 34 is between 0.95*1 / 4λ and 1.05*1 / 4λ.
[0087] In the embodiment, the radiating branch of the fifth antenna 60 and the first radiating branch 32 of the second antenna 30 can jointly form a half-wavelength mode of a T antenna and can form a strong inhibition to the upward traveling wave current of the second antenna 30; therefore, by arranging the second metal connecting segment 34, the first radiating branch 32 is grounded through the second metal connecting segment 34 and the tuning network 36, so as to weaken the inhibition of the half-wavelength mode of the T antenna jointly formed by the radiating branch of the fifth antenna 60 and the first radiating branch 32 of the second antenna 30 to the upward traveling wave current of the second antenna 30, thereby enhancing the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20.
[0088] The tuning network 36 can be composed of at least one of a capacitor, an inductor, and a switch.
[0089] Moreover, by arranging the second metal connecting segment 34 and setting the length of the second metal connecting segment 34 to be close to 1 / 4λ and less than 1 / 4λ, the half-wavelength mode of the T antenna jointly formed by the radiating branch of the fifth antenna 60 and the first radiating branch 32 of the second antenna 30 can be destroyed, so as to weaken the inhibition to the upward traveling wave current of the second antenna 30 and enhance the radiation capability of the antenna module composed of the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 30 in the direction in which the second antenna 30 points to the first antenna 20.
[0090] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the traveling wave inhibition structure further comprises a first metal stub 71 arranged inside the first side frame 12, the first metal stub 71 is a bent structure, one end of the first metal stub 71 is connected to the first side frame 12, and the other end is arranged in a suspended manner; and the second radiating branch 33 is located between the first metal stub 71 and the first radiating branch 32.
[0091] The first metal stub 71 is used to form a 1 / 4λ monopole mode.
