Antenna structure and electronic device

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of antennas, and in particular to an antenna structure and an electronic device having the same.

BACKGROUND

In the 5G (fifth generation mobile communication) era, in order to meet the communication requirements of MIMO (Multi-input and Multi-output) with more channels and cover more new frequency bands, the number of antennas in mobile phones is obviously increased compared with the previous generation of mobile communication, but the size of mobile phones has not increased proportionally, so that the distance between antennas is significantly shortened. Furthermore, the coupling phenomenon between antennas with the same frequency or different frequencies becomes more serious (especially between antennas with the same frequency or near frequency), and the performance of the antennas obviously degrades which hence deteriorates the wireless communication experience of users.

Based on the above, different decoupling methods have been put forward, such as a layout method (e.g., pulling away the mutually coupled antennas or providing the mutually coupled antennas orthogonally), an external structural method (comprising isolation or filtering structures in antenna design or between antennas), a defect ground method (i.e., performing excavation design on the reference ground of mutually coupled antennas), an artificial material method (i.e., adding artificial electromagnetic materials between mutually coupled antennas), a circuit method (i.e., adding a decoupling circuit to the antenna port or the antenna main body of the mutually coupled antenna), a characteristic-mode method (i.e., based on the characteristic modes), and a neutralization line method (i.e., directly adding additional connection lines to the mutually coupled antenna), etc. However, the layout method cannot be used well in compact systems with limited space, so the effect is not obvious. The external structural method will increase the distance between antennas, which will affect the compactness of the system and even the size of the system. The defect ground method will destroy the main environment of the system, so it is often not feasible in practical compact systems. The artificial material method is more complicated in design, and often need extra space or carrier. The circuit method is complicated in design, especially for multi-frequency or broadband decoupling. The characteristic-mode method generally has poor decoupling effect of multi-frequency or broadband decoupling. The traditional neutralization line method often is the planar wirings to connect the antenna main body/bodies, and the area below the neutralization line often needs clearance, so it occupies more board area and has higher environment requirements for the board level and even the system.

Embodiment 1

Refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective diagram of the antenna structure according to embodiment 1 of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are perspective diagrams of the antenna structure shown in FIG. 1 from different angles. In an embodiment, an antenna structure 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a first antenna 10, a second antenna 20 and a three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 located on at least two planes, wherein the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 comprises a conductor, and at least part of the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is located in the space between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20.

It can be understood that the space between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 can be a three-dimensional space, which comprises not only the middle space between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 (such as the space through which any connecting line between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 passes), but also the space to which the middle space between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 further extends. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-3, at least part (e.g., the middle part) of the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is not located in the middle space between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20. Specifically, the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is located at one side of the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20, and at least part (e.g., the middle part) of the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is located in the space to which the middle space between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 further extends towards the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30.

The first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 may be antennas operating at the same frequency or different frequencies. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 are provided on opposite sides of the first structure 70 at intervals, and are respectively electrically connected with the circuit board 40. The first structure 70 can be an antenna array, an antenna carrier or support, a metal or other antennas, etc. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the first structure 70 is an antenna support, and at least part of the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 are provided on the first structure 70. It can be understood that the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 are electrically connected to the circuit board 40, which is conducive to improving the compactness and miniaturization of the overall structure. In addition, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 may also be three-dimensional structures, which are located on at least two planes, such as two different planes of the first structure 70. The antenna with the above structure causes the antenna structure to have higher design freedom, achieve more quantifiable, more accurate and faster design, and have more opportunities to improve manufacturability and reduce the size of the antenna structure.

The three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is carried by the three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 provided on the circuit board 40. The three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 is approximately a rectangular structure, and the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is provided on three continuous planes of the rectangular structure. It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 can only be provided on two continuous planes of the three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60, such as the top surface and one of the side surfaces.

The three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 comprises a first side surface 61, atop surface 62 and a second side surface 63. The three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 can be provided on the first side surface 61 and the top surface 62, the second side surface 63 and the top surface 63, or the first side surface 61, the top surface 62 and the third side surface 63. It can be understood that the three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 is not limited to the square structure shown in the figure, but can also be any suitable three-dimensional structure, such as T-shaped or cylindrical structure. Preferably, the three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 is provided adjacent to the first structure 70, and its structure is matched with the first structure 70. The top surface 62 of the three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 is adjacent to the top surface of the first structure 70, so that the top surface 62 of the three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 is located in the space between the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20. Matching the shape of the three-dimensional decoupling structure support 60 with that of the first structure 70 can improve the integrity and consistency of the structure.

Refer to FIG. 4, which is a performance comparison diagram between the antenna comprising the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 and the antenna without the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the in-band peak isolation level (i.e., |S₂₁|) of the two antennas has increased by about 8.5 dB compared with the antenna without the three-dimensional decoupling structure, and in-band the isolation level of the antennas is better than 15 dB, so that the decoupling performance is good, which can effectively reduce the degradation degree of antenna performance caused by coupling.

Compared with the prior art, the antenna decoupling effect can be effectively achieved through the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30, so that the degradation degree of antenna performance due to coupling can be reduced, and meanwhile, the three-dimensional space of the system can be better utilized, that is, the occupied horizontal area in the system can be reduced, so that the utilization rate of limited space can be improved, and a projected clearance area (i.e., area without conductors) does not need to be provided on the board, so that the integrity of the system motherboard can be better maintained and the decoupling performance can be prevented from being affected by the metal environment or component(s) under the board; therefore, in summary, it can obviously enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of products.

Furthermore, the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is independent of both the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 in electrical connection. The electrical connection independence mainly means that there is no direct physical connection between any two of the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 and the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20. It can be understood that the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 has more flexible design freedom through independent design of electrical connection, so as to reduce the influence on the original antenna target performance, and achieve effective decoupling effect, so as to reduce the degradation degree of antenna performance due to coupling, thus ensuring or improving the wireless communication experience of users. In addition, the signals applied to the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 can be further independently controlled by the above electrical connection design, which is beneficial to ensuring or enhancing the communication experience of users.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-3, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 both comprise an antenna main body 11, a grounding part 12 connected to the antenna main body 11, an antenna feed source part 13 connected to the antenna main body 11 and a matching network part 14 connected to the antenna main body 11.

It can be understood that the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 are electrically connected with conductor wiring on the circuit board 40, which can effectively improve the decoupling performance of the antenna and effectively utilize its spatial structure, thereby reducing the production cost and improving the production efficiency of the antenna structure 100. In this embodiment, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 are both electrically connected with (the components or conductor wiring on) the circuit board 40 (e.g., electrically connected with the components or conductor wiring on the circuit board 40 through the grounding part 12, the antenna feed source part 13 and the matching network part 14), but in other embodiments, the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 10 can also be respectively electrically coupled with the components or conductor wiring on the circuit board 40 to realize the interaction of electrical signals. The first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 are electrically connected or coupled directly with the circuit board 40, which is conducive to improving the compactness and miniaturization of the overall structure.

Specifically, the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 comprises at least one conductive wire, which can be specifically a conductive metal wire. The at least conductive one wire may be provided on at least two planes. Each conductive wire, comprises two opposite ends, and at least one of the two opposite ends can be electrically connected or not electrically connected with the circuit board, so that diversified circuit connection requirements can be realized. The three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is formed by the conductive wires, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost and improving the production efficiency of the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30, and also beneficial to reducing the volume of the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30, thereby reducing the occupied space. In addition, the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 is independent of the first antenna 10 and the second antenna 20 in electrical connection, which can effectively achieve antenna decoupling effect and reduce the degradation degree of antenna performance due to coupling.

In some embodiments, the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 comprises at least two conductive wires, which can be provided in parallel at intervals. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the at least two wires may also be provided in unparallel at intervals. The conductive wire can be provided in a straight line or be bent. It can be understood that at least two conductive wires are provided, so that the decoupling effect can be improved, and the effect of multi-frequency and broadband decoupling can be achieved, thereby ensuring or improving the communication experience of users.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the three-dimensional decoupling structure 30 comprises three conductive wires 34 provided in parallel at intervals. It can be understood that the three conductive wires 34 can be provided at other intervals. For example, at least one of the wires 34 may be bent or the like.

Each of the conductive wires 34 comprises a first end 341, the first end 341 is connected with a first electrical connection part 31, and the first electrical connection part 31 is in electrical connection, electrical coupling or floating connection with the circuit board 40 (i.e., not electrically connected with or electrically coupled with the circuit board 40).
