FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken along the line A1-A2 in FIG. 2.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, an antenna device 110 according to the embodiment includes a first structure 10, a second structure 20, a third structure 30, a signal line 40, a first resin member 41, and a first intermediate member 51. In FIG. 3, these structures are shown separated from each other.


The first structure 10 includes a first insulating member 11, a first conductive layer 12, and a first connecting conductive member 13. The first connecting conductive member 13 pierces the first insulating member 11 along a first direction D1. The first connecting conductive member 13 includes a first cylindrical portion 13c extending in the first direction D1. The first connecting conductive member 13 is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 12.


The second structure 20 includes a second insulating member 21, a second conductive layer 22, and a second connecting conductive member 23. The second connecting conductive member 23 pierces the second insulating member 21 along the first direction D1. The second connecting conductive member 23 is electrically connected to the second conductive layer 22.


For example, at least a part of the second insulating member 21 is provided between the second conductive layer 22 and the first conductive layer 12. At least a part of the first insulating member 11 is provided between the second insulating member 21 and the first conductive layer 12.


The signal line 40 is provided between the second insulating member 21 and the first insulating member 11. The first resin member 41 includes a first resin region 41a and a second resin region 41b. The first resin region 41a is provided between the first structure 10 and the second structure 20. The second resin region 41b is provided in at least a part of a first space SP1 in the first cylindrical portion 13c. The first resin region 41a and the second resin region 41b may be continuous with each other. The boundaries between these regions can be clear or undefined. For example, the first resin region 41a is provided between the first insulating member 11 and the second insulating member 21.


The first structure 10 is provided between the second structure 20 and the third structure 30 in the first direction D1. The third structure 30 includes a third insulating member 31 and a third conductive layer 32. As shown in FIG. 1, a first gap G1 is provided between the first structure 10 and the third structure 30.


The first intermediate member 51 is provided between the first structure 10 and the third structure 30. The first intermediate member 51 is in contact with the first structure 10 and the third structure 30.


As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the signal line 40 and the second conductive layer 22 are electrically connected to the signal circuit 70. An electrical signal is supplied from the signal circuit 70 to the signal line 40. The electrical signal is a high frequency signal. The supplied electrical signal is transmitted to the third conductive layer 32 via the signal line 40. Radio waves corresponding to the electric signal are emitted from the third conductive layer 32. The third conductive layer 32 functions, for example, as a patch antenna.


In the embodiment, the signal line 40 is provided between the first conductive layer 12 and the second conductive layer 22 in the first direction D1. These conductive layers are capacitively coupled via the first connecting conductive member 13 and the second connecting conductive member 23. Alternatively, these conductive layers may be electrically connected via the first connecting conductive member 13 and the 10 second connecting conductive member 23.


For example, the first resin member 41 is provided between the first structure 10 and the second structure 20. The first resin member 41 fixes the mutual positions of the structures. The first resin member 41 may function as, for example, an adhesive layer. For example, a resin material that will become the first resin member 41 is inserted between these structures, and pressure is applied to these structures so that they approach each other. The distance between these structures becomes the desired distance. At this time, the resin material existing between these structures can flow out into the first space SP1 in the first cylindrical portion 13c of the first connecting conductive member 13, for example. At this time, the first gap G1 is provided between the first structure 10 and the third structure 30. The air existing in the first space SP1 can flow out through the first gap G1.


With this configuration, the resin material that becomes the first resin member 41 can be spread thinly and uniformly between these structures. It is possible to suppress the formation of voids in the resin material in the first space SP1.


A part of the resin material that will become the first resin member 41 (second resin region 41b) enters the first cylindrical portion 13c. Thereby, the first resin member 41 being thin and uniform is obtained. For example, the distance between the first connecting conductive member 13 and the second connecting conductive member 23 can be controlled stably and with high accuracy. Capacitive coupling or electrical connection between these connecting conductive members can be stably obtained. By the stable coupling or connection, stable radio wave radiation can be obtained. According to the embodiment, it is possible to provide an antenna device with improved characteristics.


For example, when the resin member includes voids, the volume of the voids changes due to changes in temperature, etc., and the structure is likely to be distorted. In the structure, the structure and properties may become unstable. In the embodiments, voids are suppressed. Thereby, it becomes easy to obtain a stable structure and properties. For example, it becomes easier to obtain higher reliability.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, for example, the first conductive layer 12 includes a slot 120. The slot 120 corresponds to, for example, an opening provided in the first conductive layer 12. At least a part of the slot 120 is located between the signal line 40 and the third conductive layer 32 in the first direction D1.


The first conductive layer 12, the signal line 40, and the second conductive layer 22 function as a stripline 55, for example. The stripline 55 corresponds to, for example, a triplate line. The stripline 55 efficiently radiates radio waves based on the supplied electrical signals.


Power is supplied to the third conductive layer 32 from the stripline 55 via the slot 120. The antenna device 110 is, for example, a slot-coupled patch antenna. In the antenna device 110, the stripline 55 serves as a feed line.


In a stripline-fed patch antenna, an unnecessary parallel plate mode occurs inside the stripline 55 (for example, in a region overlapping with the third conductive layer 32). The parallel plate mode propagates between two conductive layers included in the stripline 55. Parallel plate mode propagation causes power leakage and reduces antenna efficiency.


In the embodiment, by the first connecting conductive member 13 and the second connecting conductive member 23, current (high frequency current) can to flow between the first conductive layer 12 and the second conductive layer 22. This suppresses the parallel plate mode.


As described above, in the embodiment, the distance between the first connecting conductive member 13 and the second connecting conductive member 23 can be uniformly shortened with high accuracy. Thereby, the high frequency current can flow between the first connecting conductive member 13 and the second connecting conductive member 23 with high efficiency. Parallel plate mode can be suppressed more effectively. According to the embodiment, power leakage can be suppressed more effectively. High antenna efficiency can be obtained. An antenna device with improved characteristics can be provided.


For example, the second resin region 41b is provided in the first space SP1. Thereby, the contact area between the first resin member 41 and the first connecting conductive member 13 can be increased. It becomes easy to obtain high mechanical strength.

As shown in FIG. 1, a part of the first resin region 41a may be provided between the second connecting conductive member 23 and the first connecting conductive member 13. In this case, the second connecting conductive member 23 can be capacitively coupled to the first connecting conductive member 13.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first connecting conductive member 13 may further include a first planar portion 13p. The first planar portion 13p overlaps the first insulating member 11 in the first direction D1. The first planar portion 13p is, for example, a fringe portion.


As shown in FIG. 1, the first planar portion 13p is provided between the first resin region 41a and the second resin region 41b. The contact area between the first planar portion 13p and the first resin member 41 can be increased. It becomes easy to obtain high mechanical strength.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the second connecting conductive member 23 may include a second planar portion 23p. The second planar portion 23p overlaps the second insulating member 21 in the first direction D1. The second planar portion 23p is, for example, a fringe portion. At least a part of the second planar portion 23p may face the first planar portion 13p. For example, the capacitance between the first connecting conductive member 13 and the second connecting conductive member 23 can be increased. More efficient binding is obtained.


As shown in FIG. 1, a distance along the first direction D1 between the first connecting conductive member 13 and the second connecting conductive member 23 is defined as a first distance d1. In one example, the first distance d1 is, for example, not less than 0.05 μm and not more than 10 μm.


As shown in FIG. 1, a distance between the first insulating member 11 and the second insulating member 21 along the first direction D1 is defined as a second distance d2. In one example, the second distance d2 is not less than 10 μm and not more than 200 μm.


As shown in FIG. 1, a distance between the first insulating member 11 and the third insulating member 31 along the first direction D1 is defined as a third distance d3. The third distance d3 is, for example, ½ or less of the wavelength of the radio wave transmitted and received by the antenna device 110. In one example, the third distance d3 is, for example, not less than 1/100 or more of the wavelength of the radio wave.


As shown in FIG. 1, a distance between the first conductive layer 12 and the third insulating member 31 along the first direction D1 is defined as a fourth distance d4. The fourth distance d4 is, for example, ½ or less of the wavelength of the radio wave transmitted and received by the antenna device 110. In one example, the fourth distance d4 is, for example, 1/100 or more of the wavelength of the radio wave.


In the embodiment, the first space SP1 is connected to the first gap G1. The air existing in the first space SP1 can flow out through the first gap G1. The generation of voids is suppressed.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the second connecting conductive member 23 may include a second cylindrical portion 23c extending along the first direction D1. As shown in FIG. 1, the second structure 20 may further include a filling member 20F. At least a part of the filling member 20F is provided in at least a part of a second space SP2 in the second cylindrical portion 23c.
