Solution Overview

Problem

Designing an antenna structure that can effectively resonate multiple frequency bands, specifically the 1710 MHz to 2700 MHz, 3300 MHz to 5000 MHz, and 5150 MHz to 5850 MHz bands, is a challenge in current antenna design for 5G communication.

Innovation Solution

The antenna structure comprises a first radiator with a unique configuration of sections and a second radiator disposed around it, forming a coupling interval to resonate the specified frequency bands, along with frequency modulation radiators and an antenna ground plane, allowing for efficient resonance across multiple bands.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional single-frequency antenna designs are used, then the antenna structure is simple, but it cannot resonate multiple frequency bands (1710-2700 MHz, 3300-5000 MHz, 5150-5850 MHz) required for 5G communication

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefrequency band coverageVSAvoidantenna structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna structure is designed to perform multiple functions by resonating across three distinct frequency bands (1710-2700 MHz, 3300-5000 MHz, 5150-5850 MHz) using a single integrated radiator configuration, eliminating the need for separate antennas for each frequency band

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

Solution Approach 2:

The antenna employs a nested configuration where the second radiator is disposed around the first radiator, with the first radiator including sections that encircle a space, creating a compact multi-layered structure that achieves multiple frequency resonances within a small footprint

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate antennas are used to cover different frequency bands, then each frequency band can be optimized, but the device occupies more space and requires more antenna elements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefrequency band coverageVSAvoidantenna space occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple antenna functions for different frequency bands are merged into a single integrated antenna structure, where the first and second radiators work together to resonate 1710-2700 MHz, 3300-5000 MHz, and 5150-5850 MHz bands simultaneously, reducing the number of antenna elements required

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The antenna utilizes three-dimensional spatial arrangement with the second radiator disposed around the first radiator, and sections encircling a space, to achieve multiple frequency resonances within a compact volume, effectively using vertical and radial dimensions to pack multiple functions into a small area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Volume of moving object

If the coupling interval between radiators is reduced to compact the antenna, then the antenna size is reduced, but the isolation between frequency bands may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna volumeVSAvoidfrequency band isolation
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna employs different structural characteristics in different sections of the radiator, with specific section configurations and a controlled coupling interval (0.5-1 mm) between the second radiator and third section, to achieve both compact size and adequate frequency band isolation through localized structural optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An antenna structure including a first radiator and a second radiator is provided. The first radiator includes a first section, a second section, and a third section. The first section has a feed-in end. The second section is adjacent to the first section and connected to a position of the first section close to the feed-in end. The third section is connected to the second section and the feed-in end to encircle a space. The second radiator is disposed around the first section and the second section. The second radiator includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is a ground end. A coupling interval is formed between the second end and the third section. A first frequency band, a second frequency band, and a third frequency band are resonated by the first radiator and the second radiator.
