Solution Overview

Problem

Existing antennas in compact electronic devices suffer from interference from surrounding circuits, leading to low radiation efficiency due to reduced clearance areas and increased electrical coupling.

Innovation Solution

The antenna design incorporates at least two grounding portions spaced apart and connected to the antenna body, creating electric field null points that reduce interference and enhance radiation efficiency by forming multiple antenna modes or operating frequency bands.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the antenna clearance area is reduced to achieve compact device design, then device size is reduced, but antenna radiation efficiency deteriorates due to increased interference from surrounding circuits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidantenna radiation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The grounding system is segmented into multiple grounding portions (at least two) spaced apart along the antenna body. This segmentation creates multiple electric field null points that collectively suppress interference from surrounding circuits, allowing the antenna to maintain high radiation efficiency even in compact devices with reduced clearance areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple grounding portions act as intermediary elements between the antenna body and the surrounding circuit environment. These grounding portions create electric field null points that mediate the interaction between the antenna and interfering circuits, effectively reducing electrical coupling and protecting the antenna's radiation performance in compact configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If the clearance area around the antenna is reduced, then device compactness is improved, but electrical coupling from adjacent circuit components increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna clearance areaVSAvoidelectrical coupling interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The grounding system is divided into multiple spatially separated grounding portions that create multiple electric field null points. This segmented approach provides comprehensive interference suppression across different regions of the antenna, effectively reducing electrical coupling from adjacent circuit components even when the overall clearance area is limited.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different grounding portions are positioned at specific locations along the antenna body where interference is most problematic. Each grounding portion creates local electric field null points tailored to suppress interference from specific adjacent circuit components, providing localized protection while maintaining overall device compactness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If multiple grounding portions are added to reduce interference, then antenna radiation efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna radiation efficiencyVSAvoidantenna structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple grounding portions are merged into a unified grounding system that is integrated with the antenna body structure. This combined approach achieves comprehensive interference suppression through multiple electric field null points while maintaining structural simplicity and avoiding the need for separate, complex grounding components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The multiple grounding portions serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide reference potentials, create electric field null points for interference suppression, and can be integrated with the device chassis grounding system. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
