Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional microstrip patch antennas are visible on screen display areas and suffer from high signal loss and performance deterioration in high-frequency environments like 5G due to poor impedance matching.
Innovation Solution
A film-type microstrip patch antenna is designed with a base film, microstrip transmission line unit, radiating patch unit, and ground unit, where the microstrip transmission line has a resistance of 70Ω to 230Ω, and the units are made of materials like copper or silver, with a mesh structure, to ensure precise impedance matching and visibility concealment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a conventional microstrip patch antenna is formed on a printed circuit board, then the antenna can be fabricated easily, but the antenna components become unnecessarily visible to the user on the screen display area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by transitioning from a rigid printed circuit board substrate to a flexible thin film substrate for antenna fabrication. The thin film substrate can be integrated into the display structure without interfering with the display area, making the antenna components invisible to users while maintaining ease of fabrication through similar manufacturing processes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent moves the antenna from the traditional planar printed circuit board layout to a three-dimensional integration within the display structure. By embedding the antenna elements within the display's layered construction, the antenna becomes invisible from the user's perspective while retaining its functional characteristics
2Adaptability or versatility
If a microstrip transmission line is used in a high-frequency environment such as 5G, then the antenna can be implemented, but signal loss becomes high and performance deteriorates due to poor impedance matching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by optimizing key parameters of the microstrip transmission line including characteristic impedance, conductor width, substrate thickness, and dielectric constant. These parameter adjustments are specifically tailored to minimize signal loss and achieve proper impedance matching for high-frequency 5G operations, transforming the transmission line's electrical characteristics to suit the demanding high-frequency environment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates impedance matching networks and tuning elements that provide feedback mechanisms to optimize signal transmission. By including adjustable matching circuits and reflective elements, the system can adapt to frequency variations and minimize signal loss through iterative impedance optimization, ensuring stable performance across the 5G frequency band
