The present disclosure relates to an antenna module, and more particularly, to an antenna module which is embedded in a portable terminal to perform at least one of electronic payment, wireless charging, and near field communication.
With the development of a technology, portable terminals such as mobile phones, PDAs, PMPs, navigations, and laptops additionally provide functions such as near field communication between DMBs, wireless Internet, and devices in addition to basic functions such as call, video/music playback, and direction guidance. Accordingly, the portable terminal has a plurality of antennas for wireless communication, such as wireless Internet and Bluetooth.
In addition, recently, there is a trend to apply functions such as information exchange between terminals, payment, ticket reservation, and search by using near field communication (that is, NFC) to the portable terminal. To this end, the portable terminal is mounted with an antenna module (that is, NFC antenna module) used in a near field communication method. At this time, the NFC antenna module used, as one of an electronic tag (RFID), is a contactless near field wireless communication module which uses a frequency band of approximately 13.56 MHz and transmits data between terminals close to each other at a distance of about 10 cm. The NFC is widely utilized not only for the payment, but also for the transmission of goods information in supermarkets or general stores or travel information for visitors, transportation, access control locks, and the like.
In addition, recently, as functions related to electronic payment using a portable terminal such as Apple Pay or Samsung Pay are required, an antenna for electronic payment is mounted on the portable terminal. For example, since Samsung Pay performs the electronic payment using a magnetic secure transmission method, a Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) antenna is mounted in the portable terminal supporting Samsung Pay.
Meanwhile, as the miniaturization and thinning required in the portable terminal market is required, the size and thickness of the portable terminal is reduced, and the mounting space of the internal parts is being reduced.
Various types of antenna modules have been developed to minimize the area and thickness in accordance with these market demands
However, there are problems in that the MST antenna module used for electronic payment is formed in the form of winding the coil, thereby increasing a defect rate when the antenna module is manufactured, and degrading the performance of the antenna module due to various causes of the occurrence of the short of the coil, irregular winding caused by the bending, distortion caused by a thin material, and the like in terms of miniaturization and thinning
In addition, there is a problem in that when a plurality of antennas are simultaneously mounted, as the portable terminal is miniaturized, a mounting space is insufficient. Accordingly, there is a demand in the market for an integrated antenna in which a near field communication antenna and an MST antenna are integrated.
The present disclosure is proposed in consideration of the aforementioned circumstances, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide an antenna module, which disposes a magnetic sheet on one surface and the other surface of an antenna sheet on which a plurality of radiation patterns are formed, and forms an overlapping area between the magnetic sheets, thereby maximizing antenna performance for electronic payment, near field communication, and wireless charging.
For achieving the object, an antenna module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an antenna sheet which has a radiation pattern formed thereon, a first magnetic sheet which is disposed on one surface of the antenna sheet, and a second magnetic sheet which is disposed on the other surface of the antenna sheet, and the first magnetic sheet and the second magnetic sheet form an overlapping area.
For achieving the object, an antenna module according to another embodiment of the present disclosure includes an antenna sheet which has a radiation pattern formed thereon, a first magnetic sheet which is disposed on one surface of the antenna sheet, a second magnetic sheet which is disposed on the other surface of the antenna sheet, and a third magnetic sheet which is disposed on one surface of the antenna sheet, and spaced apart from the first magnetic sheet, and the first magnetic sheet and the second magnetic sheet form a first overlapping area, and the second magnetic sheet and the third magnetic sheet form a second overlapping area.
According to the present disclosure, the antenna module may have the magnetic sheets disposed on one surface and the other surface of the antenna sheet on which the plurality of radiation patterns are formed, and have the overlapping area formed between the magnetic sheets, thereby maximizing antenna performance for electronic payment, near field communication and wireless charging.
Hereinafter, for specifically describing the present disclosure so that those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains may easily carry out the technical spirit of the present disclosure, the most preferred embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in adding the reference numerals to components of each drawing, it should be noted that the same components have the same reference numerals as possible even though they are illustrated on different drawings. In addition, in describing the present disclosure, when it is determined that detailed descriptions of related known configurations or functions may obscure the subject matter of the present disclosure, the detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
An antenna module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted in a rear cover or a main body of a portable terminal. The antenna module operates as an antenna for wireless charging (WPC), electronic payment (MST), and near field communication (NFC) of the portable terminal.

The first magnetic sheet 150 is a plate-like substrate or a film made of a magnetic material. For example, the first magnetic sheet 150 is one selected from a nanocrystalline alloy ribbon sheet, an iron-based amorphous ribbon sheet, and a ferrite sheet.
The iron-based amorphous sheet forms properties such as magnetic permeability while curing the iron-based amorphous ribbon through a heat treatment process. At this time, the iron-based amorphous ribbon is, for example, an iron-based magnetic alloy, and the iron-based magnetic alloy may use a Fe—Si—B alloy. The iron-based magnetic alloy is preferably an alloy in which the content of iron (Fe) is 73 to 80 at %, the sum of the contents of silicon (Si) and boron (B) is 15 to 26 at %, and the sum of the contents of copper (Cu) and niobium (Nb) is 1 to 5 at %.
Meanwhile, in the heat treatment process, the iron-based amorphous ribbon is heated at a temperature of about 300° C. to 500° C. for about 0.1 to 10 hours to form an iron-based amorphous sheet.
The nanocrystalline alloy ribbon sheet is, for example, an iron (Fe)-based magnetic alloy. The nanocrystalline alloy ribbon sheet forms properties such as magnetic permeability while curing the iron-based amorphous ribbon through the heat treatment process like the iron-based amorphous sheet. At this time, the iron-based amorphous ribbon is, for example, an iron-based magnetic alloy, and the iron-based magnetic alloy may be a Fe—Si—B—Cu—Nb alloy. In this case, the iron-based magnetic alloy may be an alloy in which the content of the iron (Fe) is 73 to 80 at %, the sum of the contents of silicon (Si) and boron (B) is 15 to 26 at %, and the sum of the contents of copper (Cu) and niobium (Nb) is 1 to 5 at %.
Meanwhile, in the heat treatment process, the iron-based amorphous ribbon is heated at a temperature of about 300° C. to 700° C. for about 30 minutes to 2 hours to form a nanocrystalline sheet on which nanocrystalline is formed.
The first magnetic sheet 150 may also be in a ductile state where heat treatment is not performed on the nanocrystalline alloy ribbon sheet, the iron-based amorphous ribbon sheet, the ferrite sheet, or the like.
The first magnetic sheet 150 is stacked on one of one surface and the other surface of the antenna sheet 110. The first magnetic sheet 150 is stacked on one surface facing the second magnetic sheet 160.
For example, when the second magnetic sheet 160 is stacked on the other surface of the antenna sheet 110, the first magnetic sheet 150 is stacked on one surface of the antenna sheet 110. When the second magnetic sheet 160 is stacked on one surface of the antenna sheet 110, the first magnetic sheet 150 is stacked on the other surface of the antenna sheet 110.
The area of the first magnetic sheet 150 is formed to be narrower than the area of the antenna sheet 110. One side of the first magnetic sheet 150 is disposed on the same line as the second side of the antenna sheet 110. The first magnetic sheet 150 is disposed to extend from the second side of the antenna sheet 110 inward (that is, in a first side direction) to overlap a part of the antenna sheet 110.
The first magnetic sheet 150 overlaps the second electronic payment radiation pattern 130. The first magnetic sheet 150 overlaps parts of the third loop pattern 132 and the fourth loop pattern 134 of the second electronic payment radiation pattern 130.
The second magnetic sheet 160 is a plate-like substrate or a film made of a magnetic material. The second magnetic sheet 160 is made of the same material as the first magnetic sheet 150. The second magnetic sheet 160 may also be made of a different material from the first magnetic sheet 150. The second magnetic sheet 160 is, for example, one selected from the nanocrystalline alloy ribbon sheet, the iron-based amorphous ribbon sheet, and the ferrite sheet.
The second magnetic sheet 160 is stacked on one of one surface and the other surface of the antenna sheet 110. The second magnetic sheet 160 is stacked on one surface facing the first magnetic sheet 150.
For example, when the first magnetic sheet 150 is stacked on the other surface of the antenna sheet 110, the second magnetic sheet 160 is stacked on one surface of the antenna sheet 110. When the first magnetic sheet 150 is stacked on one surface of the antenna sheet 110, the second magnetic sheet 160 is stacked on the other surface of the antenna sheet 110.
The area of the second magnetic sheet 160 is formed to be narrower than the area of the antenna sheet 110. The area of the second magnetic sheet 160 is formed to be broader than the area of the first magnetic sheet 150. One side of the second magnetic sheet 160 is disposed on the same line as the first side of the antenna sheet 110. The second magnetic sheet 160 is disposed to extend from the first side of the antenna sheet 110 inward (that is, in a second side direction) to overlap a part of the antenna sheet 110.
The second magnetic sheet 160 overlaps the first electronic payment radiation pattern 120, the second electronic payment radiation pattern 130, and the near field communication radiation pattern 140. The second magnetic sheet 160 overlaps the entirety of the first loop pattern 122 and the second loop pattern 124 of the first electronic payment radiation pattern 120. The second magnetic sheet 160 overlaps parts of the third loop pattern 132 and the fourth loop pattern 134 of the second electronic payment radiation pattern 130. The second magnetic sheet 160 overlaps the fifth loop pattern 142 and the sixth loop pattern 144 of the near field communication radiation pattern 140.
The first magnetic sheet 150 and the second magnetic sheet 160 form an overlapping area 170. As the first magnetic sheet 150 extends from the first side toward the second side, and the second magnetic sheet 160 extends from the second side toward the first side, the first magnetic sheet 150 and the second magnetic sheet 160 form the overlapping area 170 in an area where the second electronic payment radiation pattern 130 is formed and in a neighboring area.
When the area of the overlapping area 170 is increased, the antenna performance of the electronic payment radiation pattern and the near field communication radiation pattern 140 is improved.
At this time, when the entire second electronic payment radiation pattern 130 and the first magnetic sheet 150 and the second magnetic sheet 160 are disposed to be overlapped with each other to increase the area of the overlapping area 170, a recognition range for electronic payment may be decreased.
Accordingly, the area of the overlapping area 170 may be increased in a range where the second electronic payment radiation pattern 130 and at least parts of the first magnetic sheet 150 and the second magnetic sheet 160 do not overlap the overlapping area 170.
For example, when the other side of the first magnetic sheet 150 is disposed at a position farthest from the second side of the antenna sheet 110 in the third area 113, and the other side of the second magnetic sheet 160 is disposed at a position closest to the second side of the antenna sheet 110 in the fourth area 114, the area of the overlapping area 170 may be maximized.
