As described in the background art, in order to solve the problem that there is a lack of a method for reconfiguring a radiation pattern of an antenna in the prior art, the disclosure provides an antenna structure and an antenna system.


According to a typical example of the disclosure, an antenna structure is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the antenna structure includes a dielectric substrate 10, a two-wire parallel line 20, a first dipole antenna 30, a second dipole antenna 40 and a reconfiguration structure 50. As shown in FIG. 2, the dielectric substrate 10 includes a front surface 101 and a back surface 102 that are opposite each other. The two-wire parallel line 20 includes a front conductor 201 and a back conductor 202, the front conductor 201 is located on the front surface 101, and the back conductor 202 is located on the back surface 102. The first dipole antenna 30 includes a first radiation arm 301 and a second radiation arm 302, and the second dipole antenna 40 includes a third radiation arm 401 and a fourth radiation arm 402. The first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401 are located on the front surface 101, and the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402 are located on the back surface 102. The first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401 are connected to the front conductor 201, and the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402 are connected to the back conductor 202. The reconfiguration structure 50 includes a front unit 501, a back unit 502 and a switching device 503. The front unit 501 is located between the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401, and a first end of the front unit 501 is connected to the front conductor 201. The back unit 502 is located between the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402, and a first end of the back unit 502 is connected to the back conductor 202. A first end of the switching device 503 is electrically connected to a second end of the front unit 501, and a second end of the switching device 503 is electrically connected to a second end of the back unit 502. The two-wire parallel line 20 is configured to transmit a radio frequency signal and a control signal. The control signal is a signal for controlling an on-off state of the switching device.


The antenna structure includes a dielectric substrate, a two-wire parallel line, a first dipole antenna, a second dipole antenna and a reconfiguration structure. The dielectric substrate includes a front surface and a back surface that are opposite each other. The two-wire parallel line includes a front conductor and a back conductor that are parallel to each other. The first dipole antenna includes a first radiation arm and a second radiation arm, and the second dipole antenna includes a third radiation arm and a fourth radiation arm. The reconfiguration structure includes a front unit, a back unit and a switching device. Two ends of the switching device are connected to the front unit and the back unit respectively. The two-wire parallel line is configured to transmit a radio frequency signal and a control signal. Compared with the problem of lack of a method for reconfiguring a radiation pattern of an antenna in the prior art, the antenna structure in the disclosure has effects that the switching device is controlled to be closed by means of the control signal, such that impedance or phase value of the reconfiguration structure is introduced into the antenna structure. Therefore, a shape of a radiation pattern is changed, a size of a gain and a pitch angle of a radiation beam are switched, and the radiation pattern of an antenna is reconfigured. Moreover, in the disclosure, the radio frequency signal and the control signal are transmitted by the two-wire parallel line. That is, wireless performance of the same transmission structure and multiplexing of the control signal are achieved, and an influence of a control circuit on antenna radiation is mitigated. Compared with the prior art in which a control signal and a radio frequency signal are transmitted in different ways, the disclosure simplifies a design and ensures that manufacturing cost of the antenna structure is relatively low. In addition, since the switching device is loaded between the front unit and the back unit, rather than on a main radiation structure of an antenna, an influence of insertion loss of the switching device on performance of the antenna is alleviated.


Specifically, the above dielectric substrate includes a poly tetra fluor ethylene (PTFE) printed circuit board (PCB), and certainly may be a different plate. A second end of a first stub and a second end of a second stub are connected through a metallized via hole on the dielectric substrate, and the switching device is placed.


According to a particular example of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the antenna structure further includes a signal feed point 60 and a reference point 70. The signal feed point 60 is located on the front surface 101 and on the same side of the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401, and the signal feed point 60 is connected to the front conductor 201. The reference point 70 is located on the back surface 102 and on the same side of the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402, and the reference point 70 is connected to the back conductor 202. The signal feed point 60 and the reference point 70 are configured to be connected to a coaxial line to receive the radio frequency signal and the control signal by means of the coaxial line. The signal feed point and the reference point receive the radio frequency signal and the control signal by means of the coaxial line. In this way, it is further ensured that the radio frequency signal is stably transmitted, and the on-off state of the switching device is further controlled through input of an electrical signal, such that a radiation pattern of an antenna is reconfigured.


Specifically, the coaxial line includes an inner conductor and an outer conductor. The inner conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the signal feed point of the dielectric substrate. The outer conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the reference point of the dielectric substrate. The signal feed point serves as an input point of the control signal and the radio frequency signal. The reference point serves as a reference point of the radio frequency signal and a low potential reference point of the control signal. The radio frequency signal is stably input. The switching device is turned on or off by changing an input value of a control level, such that impedance or phase input of the reconfiguration structure is changed, and the radiation pattern of the antenna is changed.


In order to further ensure better performance of the antenna structure, according to another particular example of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the front unit 501 is perpendicular to the front conductor 201, and the back unit 502 is perpendicular to the back conductor 202. Certainly, in an actual application process, the front unit may not be perpendicular to the front conductor, and the back unit may not be perpendicular to the back conductor. In this case, it is required to arrange other additional structures to adjust a non-perpendicular state to have the same performance as that of a perpendicular state.


According to another particular example of the disclosure, a length of the front conductor and a length of the back conductor each equal a predetermined wavelength, and the predetermined wavelength is a wavelength corresponding to an operating frequency band of the antenna structure. The first end of the front unit is located in a middle of the front conductor, and the first end of the back unit is located in a middle of the back conductor. That is, the front unit and the back unit each are located at a ½ position of the predetermined wavelength. A length of the front unit and a length of the back unit each equal a quarter of the predetermined wavelength.


According to a particular example of the disclosure, the first dipole antenna is an H-type dipole, and the second dipole antenna is an H-type dipole.


According to another particular example of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, the first radiation arm 301 and the third radiation arm 401 are axisymmetric with respect to the front conductor 201, and the second radiation arm 302 and the fourth radiation arm 402 are axisymmetric with respect to the back conductor 202.


It should be noted that a positional relation between the first radiation arm and the third radiation arm is not limited to axisymmetry with respect to the front conductor, and a positional relation between the second radiation arm and the fourth radiation arm is not limited to axisymmetry with respect to the back conductor.


The switching device may be any suitable two-terminal switch in the prior art, such as a diode. According to another particular example of the disclosure, the switching device may be a PIN diode, a varactor diode or a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) switch. In a case that the switching device is a PIN diode, the reconfiguration structure is configured for impedance adjustment to serve as a variable impedance loading section. In a case that the switching device is a varactor diode, the reconfiguration structure is configured for impedance adjustment and phase shift to serve as a phase shifting section.


The PIN diode is a P-I-N structure diode formed by adding a thin low-doped intrinsic semiconductor layer between P and N semiconductor materials.


In a particular example, the two-wire parallel line is required to supply power to the first dipole antenna and the first dipole antenna, and the control signal is required to generate a potential difference for the PIN diode/varactor diode. By designing a variable impedance loading section (for the PIN diode) or a phase shifting section (for the varactor diode), the front conductor and the back conductor as transmission lines can be simultaneously used as control signal input lines of the PIN diode, and the radio frequency signal and the control signal are simultaneously fed through a radio frequency coaxial line welded at a front end. Therefore, wireless performance of the same transmission structure and multiplexing of the control signal can be achieved, an influence of the control circuit on antenna radiation can be greatly reduced, a design can be simplified and cost can be reduced. Moreover, since the switching device is loaded on an impedance/phase introduction section rather than a main radiation structure of an antenna, an influence of insertion loss of the switching device on performance of the antenna is reduced.


According to a particular example of the disclosure, the first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna simultaneously operate in a case that the switching device is turned on, and the first dipole antenna or the second dipole antenna operates in a case that the switching device is turned off.


In a particular example, as shown in FIG. 1, the signal feed point and the reference point are located on one side of the first dipole antenna away from the second dipole antenna. In cases that a PIN diode is used and an input control level is a high level, the switching device is turned on, and the reconfiguration structure is equivalent to a parallel ¼-wavelength short-circuit line. For a loading position of the structure on the two-wire parallel line, input impedance is infinitely small for current balance, and the first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna simultaneously operate. In a case that an input level is a low level, the switching device is turned off, and the reconfiguration structure is equivalent to a parallel ¼-wavelength open-circuit line. For a loading position of the structure on the two-wire parallel line, input impedance is infinitely great, a signal is totally reflected at the position, and only the first dipole antenna operates. In cases that a varactor diode is used and an input level is a low level, the switching device is turned off, and the reconfiguration structure is equivalent to a parallel ¼ wavelength open-circuit line. For a loading position of the structure on the two-wire parallel line, input impedance is infinitely great, a signal is totally reflected at the position, and only the first dipole antenna operates. In cases that an input control level corresponds to a varactor diode turned on and no capacitance is introduced, the switching device is turned on, no capacitance is loaded, the reconfiguration structure is equivalent to a ¼ wavelength parallel short-circuit line. For a loading position of the structure on the two-wire parallel line, input impedance is infinitely small for current balance, and the first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna simultaneously operate. In cases that the input control level corresponds to a strain capacitor diode turned on and capacitance is introduced, the switching device is turned on, capacitance is loaded, a current phase is advanced, and the reconfiguration structure is equivalent to a ¼ wavelength parallel open-circuit line for phase shift. For a loading position of the structure on the two-wire parallel line, input impedance is infinitely small, and the first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna simultaneously operate and supply power to unequal phases.


As shown in FIG. 2, when the switching device is turned off, the reconfiguration structure is in an open-circuit state, impedance introduced at the point is infinitely great, total reflection occurs when a signal reaches the parallel position of the reconfiguration structure, only the first dipole antenna operates, and a low-gain wide-beam mode is achieved. As shown in FIG. 2, when a direct current bias voltage is applied to a coaxial core, the switch is turned on, the reconfiguration structure is in a short-circuit state, impedance introduced at the point is infinitely small, a stub does not affect an original structure, the first dipole antenna and the second dipole antenna simultaneously operate, and a high-gain narrow-beam mode is achieved.


Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the switching device is turned on, a maximum gain direction is on a horizontal plane. In this case, a maximum gain is about 5 dBi, and a 3 dB beam width is about 45 degrees. When the switching device is turned off, an antenna maximum gain direction is inclined downwards by 45 degrees (0=about 135 degrees). In this case, a maximum gain is about 3 dBi, and a 3 dB beam width is about 80 degrees. As shown in FIG. 5, return loss of the antenna in a case of a frequency band of 5.15 GHz-5.5 GHz is less than-10 dB when the switching device is turned on or off, and desirable matching and radiation efficiency can be obtained.


In a particular example, the antenna structure can achieve omnidirectional radiation in an azimuth plane. A household WIFI communication system can operate in a frequency band of 2 GHz-7 GHz. Omnidirectional radiation in the azimuth plane is achieved, a tilt angle of a beam in a pitch plane, a gain of an antenna and a width of a beam are adjustable, and the antenna structure is suitable for a household communication product.


According to another typical example of the disclosure, an antenna system is provided. The antenna system includes the above antenna structure.

Moreover, in the disclosure, the radio frequency signal and the control signal are transmitted by the two-wire parallel line. That is, wireless performance of the same transmission structure and multiplexing of the control signal are achieved, and an influence of a control circuit on antenna radiation is mitigated. Compared with the prior art in which a control signal and a radio frequency signal are transmitted in different ways, the disclosure simplifies a design and ensures that manufacturing cost of the antenna structure is relatively low. In addition, since the switching device is loaded between the front unit and the back unit, rather than on a main radiation structure of an antenna, an influence of insertion loss of the switching device on performance of the antenna is alleviated.


In a particular example, the antenna system has a small size of 90 mm*12 mm*0.75 mm, and therefore is suitable for a miniaturized terminal communication product.


According to a particular example of the disclosure, the antenna structure includes a signal feed point and a reference point. The antenna system further includes a coaxial line. The coaxial line includes an inner conductor and an outer conductor. The inner conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the signal feed point, and the outer conductor of the coaxial line is connected to the reference point.
