Mobile Terminal Antenna Feed Network for Multiband Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing antenna designs for mobile terminals face challenges in covering multiple frequency bands efficiently, particularly due to high component loss in the high frequency band caused by frequency division circuits, leading to performance issues and increased space requirements.
Innovation Solution
The antenna apparatus employs a filter matching network with separate feeding parts for low and high frequency signals, eliminating the need for a filter component in the radio frequency circuit, which improves signal stability and reduces loss by using band-stop and band-pass filters to isolate and match signals effectively across different frequency bands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a frequency dividing circuit is used to separate intermediate frequency and high frequency bands in a single antenna architecture, then multiband communication is achieved, but component loss greater than 3 dB occurs in the high frequency band
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the antenna system into two independent feeding structures: a first feeding structure for low and intermediate frequency bands, and a second feeding structure for high frequency bands. This segmentation eliminates the need for frequency dividing circuits, thereby reducing signal loss in the high frequency band while maintaining multiband communication capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the high frequency band handling from the first feeding structure and creates a separate second feeding structure dedicated to high frequency bands. This extraction removes the harmful frequency dividing circuit from the high frequency path, eliminating the component loss that previously affected high frequency signal quality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different frequency bands are manufactured in different antennas with a single feeding structure, then frequency band coverage is achieved, but a large amount of space is occupied and isolation structures are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a unified antenna structure that serves multiple frequency bands through two feeding structures sharing common radiation elements. The first feeding structure handles low and intermediate bands while the second feeding structure handles high bands, allowing a single antenna assembly to perform multiple functions across different frequency ranges without requiring separate antennas for each band.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the handling of multiple frequency bands into a single antenna structure by combining two feeding structures that share common radiation elements and ground systems. This merging reduces the total space required compared to using separate antennas for each frequency band, while still achieving comprehensive frequency band coverage.
3Productivity
If the intermediate frequency band (2170 MHz) and high frequency band (2300 MHz) are closely spaced, then spectrum utilization is improved, but frequency division becomes difficult and signal isolation is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the frequency handling by assigning the first feeding structure to low and intermediate bands and the second feeding structure to high bands. This segmentation provides physical separation of the signal paths, improving isolation between the closely spaced intermediate and high frequency bands while maintaining efficient spectrum utilization.
