FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a structure and a device, in particular to an antenna structure and a mobile device having the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

With the continuous evolution of communication protocols, the bandwidth of some existing communication protocols is not enough for use. The 5th generation communication protocol has agreed on adding Frequency Range 1 (FR1) and Frequency Range 2 (FR2) to meet future frequency band requirements. Among them, FR1, also known as sub-6G, broadens the bandwidth of LTE-A to the frequency band of 410 MHz˜7125 MHz. However, since the existing mobile devices (such as notebook computers) have installed full-bandwidth antennas in a limited mechanical space, it is difficult to further provide a wider frequency band.

In addition, to improve the appearance of mobile devices, designers often enlarge the display-to-body ratio to obtain a larger screen, resulting in a narrower edge of the screen, which limits the radiation space of the antenna and interacts negatively with the antennas in the device, resulting in a narrow bandwidth and degrading its overall wireless communication quality.

With the advent of 5G communication, there are more and more sub-6G (410 MHz˜7125 MHz) frequency bands, and MIMO technology also requires more antennas to be combined in a single device, thereby further reducing the size of the antenna. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an antenna structure and design capable of covering the entire sub-6G frequency band for mobile devices.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide an antenna structure and a mobile device having the same for the deficiencies in the conventional technology.

FIG. 2 is a first schematic top view of the antenna structure according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, from a first side of the metal back cover S, the metal back cover S has an L-shaped slot SL.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first partition SL1 and the second partition SL2 are rectangular, and the side length of the first partition SL1 in the first direction D1 is smaller than the side length of the second partition Sl2 in the second direction D2, so as to form an L-shaped slot SL in which its short side is adjacent to the open end OP and its long side is adjacent to the closed end CL. In addition, in some embodiments, the side length of the first partition SL1 in the second direction D2 can be greater than the side length of the second partition SL2 in the first direction D1.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the antenna structure arranged on a carrier plate according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the antenna structure A can be made of metal materials, such as copper, silver, alumina, iron, or their alloys. The antenna structure A may include a carrier plate H arranged on the L-shaped slot SL. The carrier plate H can be, for example, a stereoscopic plastic holder with an upper surface H1, a lower surface H2, and a side surface H3 connected between the upper surface H1 and the lower surface H2. However, in order to avoid visual block and make the present disclosure easier to be understood by the reader, in other figures other than FIG. 3, the carrier plate H is shown as a transparent element, which is arranged on the metal back cover S. One or more metal radiating elements included in the antenna structure A can be arranged around the carrier plate H. In some embodiments, the antenna structure A may also include a non-conductive material for filling in the L-shaped slot SL.

It is noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure can adopt the Laser-Direct-Structuring (LDS) technique to control the movement of the laser according to the contour of the designed radiating element pattern and project the laser onto the molded stereoscopic plastic carrier plate to form a metal antenna pattern.

FIG. 4 is a second schematic top view of the antenna structure according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is substantially similar to FIG. 2, and only components relevant to an L-shaped radiating element AL are highlighted. As shown in FIG. 4, the antenna structure A includes the L-shaped radiating element AL. The L-shaped radiating element AL can be arranged on the upper surface H1 of the carrier plate H, overlapped with the second partition SL2, and includes a first radiating portion AL1, a second radiating portion AL2, and a grounded radiating portion AL3.

The first radiating portion AL1 and the second radiating portion AL2 are extended along the second direction D2. One end of the second radiating portion Al2 is connected to the first radiating portion AL1, and a feeding point FD1 is provided at a junction of the first radiating portion AL1 and the second radiating portion AL2. In optional embodiments, side lengths of the first radiating portion AL1 and the second radiating portion AL2 in the first direction D1 may be within a range of 0.5 mm to 5 mm, preferably within a range of 4 mm to 4 mm. A total length of the first radiating portion AL1 and the second radiating portion AL2 in the second direction D2 may be within a range of 35 mm to 45 mm, preferably within a range of 38 mm to 41 mm.

On the other hand, the grounded radiating portion AL3 is extended along the first direction D1, connected to another end of the radiating portion AL2, and has a first grounded side AL31. For example, in some embodiments, the grounded radiating portion AL3 can be arranged adjacent to the closed end CL. An end of the grounded radiating portion AL3 is extended along the first direction D1 which acts as a first grounded side AL31, and the first grounded side AL31 is grounded through a capacitor C1. In optional embodiments, the side length of the grounded radiating portion AL3 in the second direction D2 may be within a range of 4 mm to 8 mm, preferably within a range of 3 mm to 5 mm.

More specifically, reference can be made to FIG. 3. The first grounded side AL31 is connected to a bottom grounded element BG through the capacitor C1. It is noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the shape of the capacitive element is not a key issue in the present disclosure, and an appropriate type of the capacitor can be selected according to the requirement, thus the capacitive element is simply shown in the figures with a circuit symbol. The relative connection relationship in the antenna structure A is simply represented by a line segment connected with the capacitive symbol.

Specifically, the first feeding point FD1 is a signal feeding position. The energy is entered from the first feeding point FD1 so that the L-shaped radiating element AL coupled with the L-shaped slot SL and other components can resonance and generate radiation energy in a desired frequency band.

FIG. 5 is a third schematic top view of the antenna structure according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the L-shaped radiating element, the middle radiating element, and the grounded radiating element of the antenna structure according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is noted that FIG. 5 is substantially similar to FIG. 2, and only components relevant to the middle radiating element and the grounded radiating element are highlighted. Meanwhile, the L-shaped radiating element is hidden by dotted lines. On the other hand, FIG. 6 is based on FIG. 3 in which the carrier plate H is omitted to illustrate the relative relationship and specific details of the L-shaped radiating element, the middle radiating element, and the grounded radiating element in the antenna structure of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the antenna structure A further includes a middle radiating element AM disposed between the L-shaped slot SL and the L-shaped radiating element AL, and the middle radiating element AM includes a third radiating portion AM1, a fourth radiating portion AM2, and a feeding portion AM3. More specifically, the middle radiating element AM is disposed between the L-shaped slot SL and the L-shaped radiating element AL in a third direction D3, and the third direction D3 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, as shown in FIG. 6.

From the top view of FIG. 5, the third radiating portion AM1 can be a stripe-shaped metal conductive element with a rectangular body, and is extended from an inner corner SLC1 of the L-shaped slot SL along the second direction D2. More specifically, in the top view, the rectangular main body of the third radiating portion AM1 is not overlapped with the L-shaped slot SL, which starts from the metal back cover S on the inner side of the L-shaped slot SL and is extended along the second direction D2 till proximity to the closed end CL. Therefore, in some embodiments, the length of the third radiating portion AM1 in the second direction D2 is smaller than the total length of the second partition SL2 in the second direction D2. In optional embodiments, the total length of the third radiating portion AM1 in the second direction D2 may be within a range of 32 mm to 40 mm, preferably within a range of 34 mm to 38 mm.

From the schematic view of FIG. 6, the fourth radiating portion AM2 can be disposed between the third radiating portion AM1 and the L-shaped radiating element AL, which is extended along the second direction D2, and is connected and perpendicular to the third radiating portion AM1. Similar to the shape of the third radiating portion AM1, the fourth radiating portion AM2 can also include a rectangular body perpendicular to the third radiating portion AM1. The third radiating portion AM1 and the fourth radiating portion AM2 may have the same length in the second direction D2, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the third radiating portion AM1 and the fourth radiating portion AM2 may have different lengths in the second direction D2 according to design requirements. In addition, in optional embodiments, from the top view, the third radiating portion AM1 and the fourth radiating portion AM2 are not overlapped with the second partition SL2 of the L-shaped slot SL. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, from the top view, the third radiating portion AM1 and the fourth radiating portion AM2 can be overlapped with the second partition SL2 of the L-shaped slot SL according to design requirements.

In addition, to arrange and fix the middle radiating portion AM relative to the L-shaped slot SL, the metal back cover S, and the L-shaped radiating element AL, it can be achieved by fixing the middle radiating portion AM on the carrier plate H. For example, the fourth radiating portion AM2 can be configured with one or more recesses AM21 to be fastened with the carrier plate H so that the middle radiating element AM is more stably arranged above the L-shaped slot SL and the metal back cover S. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. On the premise of having other fixing means, the fourth radiating portion AM2 may not have any recess AM21.

From the top view of FIG. 5, the middle radiating portion AM further includes the feeding portion AM3. The feeding portion AM3 is formed by branches from the branch point BP of the radiating portion AM1 along the first direction D1, and has a second feeding point FD2 electrically connected to the first feeding point FD1. The first feeding point FD1 and the second feeding point FD2 are electrically connected through the through hole which is electrically connected to the feeding portion AM3 and the L-shaped radiating portion AL at the same time.

The branch point BP is adjacent to the middle point of the third radiating portion AM1. More specifically, the distance between the branch point BP and a first edge AM11 and a second edge AM12 of the third radiating portion AM1 in the second direction D2 is at least one third of the total length of the third radiating portion AM1 in the second direction D2. A relative relationship between the branch point BP and the first edge AM11 and the second edge AM12 in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is only for illustration, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In optional embodiments, the distance between the branch point BP and the first edge AM11 is 1.5 to 2.5 times, preferably 1.5 to 2 times the distance between the branch point BP and the second edge AM12.

As a whole, the embodiments of the present disclosure provides the antenna structure A for mobile devices capable of covering the entire sub-6G frequency band. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the middle radiating element AM can be coupled with the L-shaped slot SL to generate a first frequency band. On the other hand, the third radiating portion AM1 can be configured to generate two types of frequency bands. Specifically, a portion of the third radiating portion AM1 extended from the branch point BP towards the inner corner SLC1 (i.e., a portion towards the first edge AM11) can be configured to generate a second frequency band, and a portion of the third radiating portion AM1 extended from the branch point BP towards the second direction D2 (i.e., a portion towards the second edge AM12) and a portion of the L-shaped radiating element AL can be configured to generate a third frequency band. Said portion of the L-shaped radiating element AL especially refers to the first radiating element AL1 from the feeding point towards the open end OP, which can be used to generate the third frequency band.

In some embodiments, the first frequency band, the second frequency band, the third frequency band, and the fourth frequency band are a low frequency band, an intermediate frequency band, a third-generation (3G) frequency band, and a fifth-generation (5G) frequency band distributed from low frequency to high frequency in sequence. More specifically, the low frequency band refers to a frequency band ranging from 617 MHz to 960 MHz, the middle frequency band refers to a frequency band ranging from 1710 MHz to 2690 MHz, and the 3G frequency band refers to a frequency band ranging from 3300 MHz to 4200 MHz. Moreover, when the capacitance value of the capacitor C1 is set within a predetermined range, it can be used to increase the bandwidth of the first frequency band (low frequency band). In optional embodiments, the capacitance of the capacitor C1 may be within a range of 0.1 pF to 10 pF, preferably within a range of 0.5 pF to 2 pF.

However, in order to cover the sub-6G frequency band more completely, the antenna structure A of the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes a grounded radiating element AG. Reference can be made to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the grounded radiating element AG may be coplanar with the third radiating portion AM1, arranged on the side of the third radiating portion AM1 close to the second partition SL2, and is extended along the second direction D2. As shown in FIG. 5, from the top view, the grounded radiating element AG also has a rectangular body and is substantially overlapped completely with and covered by the second partition SL2. In some embodiments, the length of the grounded radiating element AG in the second direction D2 is greater than its length in the first direction D1 but smaller than the total length of the third radiating portion AM1 in the second direction D2. In optional embodiments, the total length of the grounded radiating element AG in the first direction D1 may be within a range of 0.5 mm to 5 mm, preferably within a range of 1 mm to 4 mm. The total length of the grounded radiating element AG in the second direction D2 may be within a range of 3 mm to 9 mm, preferably within a range of 4 mm to 7 mm.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the end of the grounded radiating element AG in the first direction D1 has a second grounded side AG1 that is grounded, and the grounded radiating element AG can also be arranged and fixed on the metal back cover S through the carrier plate H.

Therefore, in some embodiments, the position relationships of the L-shaped radiating element AL, the third radiating portion AM1, the fourth radiating portion AM2, the feeding portion AM3, and the grounded radiating element AG can be: the L-shaped radiating element AL is on the first plane; the third radiating portion AM1, the feeding portion AM3, and the grounded radiating element AG are on the second plane; the fourth radiating portion AM2 is on the third plane; the first plane is parallel to the second plane, and the third plane is perpendicular to the first plane and the second plane at the same time. The relative position relationship can be obtained from the schematic view of FIG. 6. In addition, the bottom grounded element BG can be connected to the grounded radiating element AG and the capacitor C1 at the same time and is extended in the second direction D2. The bottom grounded element BG can further be grounded through other grounded elements. The present disclosure does not limit the grounding method for the grounded radiating element AG and the capacitor C1 in the way of the bottom grounded element BG illustrated in FIG. 6.

Therefore, when the signal is input from the first feeding point FD1 and the second feed point FD2, the grounded radiating element AG can be coupled to generate the fourth frequency band. The first frequency band, the second frequency band, the third frequency band, and the fourth frequency band generated by the grounded radiating element AG as mentioned, may be a low frequency band, a middle frequency band, a 3G frequency band, and a 5G frequency band distributed from low frequency to high frequency in sequence. More specifically, the 5G frequency band refers to the frequency band ranging from 5150 MHz to 5925 MHz.

Please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 together. FIG. 7 is a curve diagram showing the antenna voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) versus frequency of the antenna structure A not adopting the configuration of the capacitor according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 8 is a curve diagram showing the antenna voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) versus frequency of the antenna structure adopting the configuration of the capacitor according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) (especially the low frequency band ranging from 617 MHz to 960 MHz) of the low frequency resonance mode of the antenna structure A can be effectively improved by the above configuration of the capacitance. From the curve of FIG. 8, one can see that after arranging the capacitor C1 (e.g., 1 pF), the VSWR of the antenna in the low frequency band can be optimized to be below 3 without affecting the modal characteristics of the intermediate frequency and high frequency. It shows that the antenna structure A adopting the capacitor in FIG. 8 can achieve a better antenna VSWR than the antenna structure in FIG. 7 without adopting the capacitor.

Beneficial Effects of the Embodiments

One of the beneficial effects of the present disclosure is that the antenna structure and its mobile device provided by the present disclosure not only provides an optimized full-bandwidth antenna in a limited mechanical space to make the antenna structure and its mobile device capable of being further expanded beyond the sub-6G frequency band, but also by setting a capacitor electrically connected to the L-shaped radiating element, the antenna voltage standing wave ratio in the low frequency band is optimized without affecting the modal characteristics of the middle frequency and high frequency.

The foregoing description of the disclosure has been presented only for the purposes of illustration and description option of the exemplary embodiments and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching.

The embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the disclosure and their practical application so as to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the disclosure and various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
