Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to an antenna system and an electronic device.


BACKGROUND

Currently, many communication devices have communication modules that have a same frequency but different systems, such as a wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, Wi-Fi) module and a Bluetooth (Bluetooth, BT)/Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth low energy, BLE) module each having an operating frequency band of 2.4 GHz in a mobile phone. Such communication modules need to work at the same time, but because operating frequencies of the communication modules are the same, a phenomenon of mutual interference between systems exists.


To reduce interference between communication systems and ensure performance of the communication systems, specific isolation is required between antennas of the communication systems. Higher isolation indicates better performance of the communication system. However, in an existing high-isolation antenna design solution, during actual application, due to impact of various metals, printed circuit boards (printed circuit boards, PCB), radio frequency cables, power cables, and other components, isolation between antennas cannot reach a high level. Therefore, how to design an antenna system with high isolation becomes a technical problem to be urgently resolved.


SUMMARY

In view of this, this application provides an antenna system and an electronic device, to improve isolation between antennas.


To achieve the foregoing objective, according to a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides an antenna system, including a first antenna, a second antenna, and a tuning stub, where the first antenna and the second antenna have a same first operating frequency band or similar first operating frequency bands.


The tuning stub is electrically connected to the first antenna, and the tuning stub is configured to adjust an equivalent current path of the first antenna.


A connection line between a projection point of a maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna and a projection point of a maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna on a first plane and a projection of the equivalent current path of the first antenna on the first plane form a first included angle before the first antenna loads the tuning stub, and form a second included angle after the first antenna loads the tuning stub.


The connection line between the projection point of the maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna and the projection point of the maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna on the first plane and a projection of an equivalent current path of the second antenna on the first plane form a third included angle before the first antenna loads the tuning stub, and form a fourth included angle after the first antenna loads the tuning stub.


A projection of the equivalent current path of the first antenna and a projection of the equivalent current path of the second antenna on a second plane form a fifth included angle before the first antenna loads the tuning stub, and form a sixth included angle after the first antenna loads the tuning stub.


The first included angle to the sixth included angle are all less than or equal to 90 degrees.


The second included angle is greater than the first included angle, or the fourth included angle is greater than the third included angle, or the sixth included angle is greater than the fifth included angle.


According to the antenna system provided in embodiments of this application, the tuning stub may adjust the equivalent current path of the first antenna, so that the connection line between the projection point of the maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna and the projection point of the maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna on the first plane tends to be more perpendicular to the projection of the equivalent current path of the first antenna or the second antenna on the first plane. In this way, incoming wave components that are of another antenna and that are received by radiation arms on two sides of a feed point of one of the first antenna and the second antenna can well cancel each other, to reduce interference between the two antennas, and improve isolation between the two antennas. Alternatively, the tuning stub may adjust the equivalent current path of the first antenna, so that the equivalent current path of the first antenna and the equivalent current path of the second antenna tend to be more perpendicular to each other. In this way, polarization directions of the two antennas tend to be more perpendicular to each other, and incoming wave components received by the two antennas from each other are reduced, to reduce interference between the two antennas and improve isolation between the two antennas.


In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first plane is perpendicular to the equivalent current path of the second antenna. In this way, tuning effect can be improved.


In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the fifth included angle is 90 degrees. In this way, polarization directions of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other, so that an antenna solution with higher isolation can be obtained based on an antenna solution with high isolation.

In the foregoing antenna structure, the tuning stub is connected to the position that is on the first radiation arm or the second radiation arm and that is close to the feed point, so that impact of the tuning stub on an operating frequency band of the first antenna can be reduced, and tuning effect can be improved. An included angle is formed between the tuning stub and the second antenna, so that the projection of the equivalent current path of the first antenna on the first plane can be adjusted. In this way, the second angle is greater than the first included angle.


In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the tuning stub is perpendicular to the first antenna, and the tuning stub is connected to the feed point.


In the foregoing implementation, the tuning stub is perpendicular to the first antenna, so that the equivalent current path of the first antenna can be better changed, and tuning effect of the tuning stub can be improved. The tuning stub is connected to the feed point, so that impact of the tuning stub on an operating frequency band of the first antenna can be better reduced, and tuning effect can be improved.

The tuning stub is connected to a side that is of the first radiation arm and that faces the second antenna, or the tuning stub is connected to a side that is of the second radiation arm and that is away from the second antenna.


In the foregoing implementation, the connection line between the projection point of the maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna and the projection point of the maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna on the first plane tends to be more perpendicular to the projection of the equivalent current path of the first antenna or the second antenna on the first plane.

An operating frequency band of each of the first radiation arm and the second radiation arm is the first operating frequency band, and the first radiation arm and the second radiation arm are connected to the two ends of the impedance tuning arm.


An operating frequency band of each of the third radiation arm and the fourth radiation arm is the second operating frequency band, and the third radiation arm and the fourth radiation arm are connected to the two ends of the impedance tuning arm.


Each radiation arm of the first antenna is located on one side of the feed point, and the tuning stub is located on the other side of the feed point.


In the foregoing implementation, each radiation arm of the first antenna is located on one side of the feed point, and the tuning stub is located on the other side of the feed point. In this way, impact of the tuning stub on an operating frequency band of the first antenna can be reduced, and tuning effect can be improved.


In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the tuning stub includes a first stub and a second stub that are perpendicular to each other, one end of the second stub is connected to a middle part of the first stub, and the other end of the second stub is connected to the feed point.


A first tuning element and a second tuning element are disposed on the second stub at an interval, and the first tuning element is located between the second tuning element and the feed point.

In this way, space can be saved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

The following describes embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in embodiments of this application. Terms used in implementations of embodiments of this application are merely used to explain specific embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit this application.


Isolation between two antennas is related to current modes of the two antennas. When equivalent current paths of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other, polarization directions of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other, and the two antennas receive fewer incoming wave components (namely, interference waves) from each other. Correspondingly, isolation between the two antennas is improved. When a connection line between maximum current points (namely, maximum equivalent current points) of the equivalent current paths of the two antennas is perpendicular to the equivalent current path of one (referred to as a target antenna herein) of the two antennas, incoming wave components that are of the other antenna and that are received by radiation arms on two sides of a feed point of the target antenna are equal in amplitude and opposite in phase, and the two incoming wave components can cancel each other when reaching the feed point of the target antenna. In this way, the isolation between the two antennas can be effectively improved.


Based on this, for a current technical problem that isolation between antennas is not high enough, embodiments of this application provide an antenna system. An equivalent current path of at least one of two antennas is adjusted mainly by loading a tuning stub in an antenna system, or an equivalent current path of an antenna is rotated by rotating a radiation arm of the antenna, so that a connection line between projection points of maximum current points of the equivalent current paths of the two antennas on a target plane trends to be more perpendicular to a projection of an adjusted equivalent current path of the antenna on the target plane, or the equivalent current paths of the two antennas tend to be more perpendicular to each other, to improve isolation between antennas in the antenna system.


The antenna system provided in embodiments of this application may be applied to an electronic device that has a communication function, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a gateway device, a router, a virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) device, or an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) device. The antenna system may include a plurality of antennas, and each antenna may include one or more operating frequency bands. For ease of understanding of embodiments of this application, the following example is used to describe an antenna isolation solution in this application: The antenna system includes two antennas (a first antenna and a second antenna). One of the first antenna and the second antenna is configured to transmit a Wi-Fi signal, and the other antenna is configured to transmit a Bluetooth signal. Each antenna includes one or two operating frequency bands. When the antenna includes one operating frequency band, the operating frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band, and an operating frequency of the antenna is in a range of 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHZ. When the antenna includes two operating frequency bands, one operating frequency band is the 2.4 GHz frequency band, and the other operating frequency band is a 5 GHz frequency band, and an operating frequency of the antenna is in a range of 5.1 GHz to 5.9 GHZ.


Specific embodiments are used below to describe in detail the technical solutions of this application. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and a same or similar concept or process may not be described repeatedly in some embodiments.


First, several feasible solutions for improving antenna isolation by using a tuning stub are introduced.


Embodiment 1


FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of a structure of an antenna system according to an embodiment of this application, where (a) in FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of the antenna system at a specific angle, (b) in FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of the antenna system on an XOZ plane, and (c) in FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of the antenna system on a YOZ plane.


The antenna system includes a first antenna 11, a second antenna 12, and a tuning stub 13. The first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12 are a pair of dipole antennas whose operating frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band. The first antenna 11, the second antenna 12, and the tuning stub 13 are all in a straight line shape, and the first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12 are perpendicular to each other on different planes.


The first antenna 11 may include a first radiation arm 111 and a second radiation arm 112 that are connected to each other. A feed point 110 of the first antenna 11 is located between the first radiation arm 111 and the second radiation arm 112. An electrical length of each of the first radiation arm 111 and the second radiation arm 112 may be 0.25λ, and λ is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHZ) of the 2.4 GHz frequency band. A current of the first antenna 11 flows from the second radiation arm 112 to the first radiation arm 111.


The second antenna 12 may include a third radiation arm 121 and a fourth radiation arm 122 that are connected to each other, a feed point 120 of the second antenna 12 is located between the third radiation arm 121 and the fourth radiation arm 122, and an electrical length of each of the third radiation arm 121 and the fourth radiation arm 122 is 0.25λ. A current of the second antenna 12 flows from the third radiation arm 121 to the fourth radiation arm 122.


An electrical length of the tuning stub 13 may be approximately 0.25), and may be specifically greater than 0.25λ and less than 0.35λ. The tuning stub 13 may be connected to a position that is on the first radiation arm 111 or the second radiation arm 112 and that is close to the feed point, to reduce impact of the tuning stub 13 on an operating frequency band of the first antenna 11 and improve tuning effect. In addition, an included angle may be formed between the tuning stub 13 and the second antenna 12, to further improve tuning effect.


To further improve tuning effect, the tuning stub 13 may be connected to an end that is on the first radiation arm 111 or the second radiation arm 112 and that is close to the feed point 110, that is, may be connected to the feed point 110, and is perpendicular to the first antenna 11.


In an optional implementation, as shown in FIG. 1A, the tuning stub 13 is connected to a side that is of the first radiation arm 111 and that faces the second antenna 12. In this case, a current direction of the tuning stub 13 is similar to a current direction of the first radiation arm 111, and a current flows from the feed point 110 to a tail end of the tuning stub 13. In another optional implementation, as shown in (a) to (c) in FIG. 1B, the tuning stub 13 is connected to a side that is of the second radiation arm 112 and that is away from the second antenna 12. In this case, a current direction of the tuning stub 13 is similar to a current direction of the second radiation arm 112, and a current flows from the tuning stub 13 to the feed point. In the foregoing connection manner, an equivalent current path of the first antenna 11 can be better adjusted, to improve tuning effect.


During specific implementation, the tuning stub 13 may be parallel to a target plane (referred to as a first plane herein), to achieve better tuning effect. The first plane is perpendicular to an equivalent current path of the second antenna 12. The first plane in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B is a plane parallel to the XOZ plane.


In this embodiment, a tuning element may be loaded on each radiation arm of the antenna system, and an operating frequency and a polarization direction of the radiation arm are tuned by using the tuning element, to reduce an antenna length. The tuning element may be a component like a resistor, a capacitor, or an inductor. For example, no tuning element is loaded on a radiation arm of the first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12, and physical lengths of the first radiation arm 111, the second radiation arm 112, the third radiation arm 121, and the fourth radiation arm 122 are all 27 mm. A tuning element 131 is loaded on the tuning stub 13. In FIG. 1A, the physical length of the tuning stub 13 is 31 mm, and the tuning element 131 is a resistor of 0 ohm (Ω). In FIG. 1B, the physical length of the tuning stub 13 is 28 mm, and a tuning element 132 is a resistor of 0Ω.



FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of current paths before and after the tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, where (a) in FIG. 2 shows projections of current paths of the first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12 on a first plane before the tuning stub 13 is loaded in the antenna system, (b) in FIG. 2 shows projections of current paths of the first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12 on a first plane after the tuning stub 13 is loaded in the antenna system in FIG. 1A, and (c) in FIG. 2 shows projections of current paths of the first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12 on a first plane after the tuning stub 13 is loaded in the antenna system in FIG. 1B.


As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, before the tuning stub 13 is loaded, a radiation arm of the first antenna 11 is perpendicular to a radiation arm of the second antenna 12. Correspondingly, as shown in (a) in FIG. 2, a current path P1 of the first antenna 11 is perpendicular to a current path P2 of the second antenna 12, that is, polarization directions of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other. In this way, isolation between the two antennas can be improved. However, a perpendicular foot from a maximum current point of the current path P2 of the second antenna 12 to the current path P1 of the first antenna 11 is far away from a maximum current point of the current path P1 of the first antenna 11, and an included angle θ between a connection line between the maximum current points of the current paths of the two antennas, and the current path P1 of the first antenna 11 is far less than 90 degrees. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas is not optimal.


As shown in (b) in FIG. 2, after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the first radiation arm 111, a part of a resonance current is transferred from the first radiation arm 111 of the first antenna 11 to the tuning stub 13. Therefore, an actual equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11 is rotated. After the tuning stub 13 is loaded, a perpendicular foot from a maximum current point of the current path P2 of the second antenna 12 to the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11 tends to be closer to a maximum current point of the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11, and correspondingly, an included angle θ between a connection line between the maximum current points of the equivalent current paths of the two antennas, and the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11 is closer to 90 degrees. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas can be improved.


As shown in (c) in FIG. 2, after the tuning stub 13 is loaded, a part of a resonance current is transferred from the second radiation arm 112 of the first antenna 11 to the tuning stub 13. Therefore, an actual equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11 is rotated. After the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the second radiation arm 112, a perpendicular foot from the maximum current point of the current path P2 of the second antenna 12 to the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11 is moved to a maximum current point of the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11, and correspondingly, an included angle θ between a connection line between the maximum current points of the equivalent current paths of the two antennas, and the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 11 is 90 degrees. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas is further improved.



FIG. 3A is a 3D pattern of the first antenna before the tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. FIG. 3B is a 2D pattern of the first antenna after the tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system in FIG. 1A, where (a) in FIG. 3B is a 3D pattern of the first antenna 11, and (b) in FIG. 3B is a pattern of the first antenna 11 on an XOZ plane. FIG. 3C is a 2D pattern of the first antenna after the tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system in FIG. 1B, where (a) in FIG. 3C is a 3D pattern of the first antenna 11, and (b) in FIG. 3C is a pattern of the first antenna 11 on an XOZ plane. Both (b) in FIG. 3B and (b) in FIG. 3C show a pattern (represented by “0_pattern (f=2.45)” in the figure) of the first antenna 11 at 2.45 GHz before the tuning stub 13 is loaded, and a pattern (represented by “T_pattern (f=2.45)” in the figure) of the first antenna 11 at 2.45 GHz after the tuning stub 13 is loaded.


As shown in FIG. 3A, before the tuning stub 13 is loaded, the pattern of the first antenna 11 on the XOZ plane is a standard vertical polarization dipole pattern. As shown in FIG. 3B, after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the first radiation arm 111, the pattern of the first antenna 11 is rotated anticlockwise, and correspondingly, an equivalent current path of the first antenna 11 shown in (b) in FIG. 2 is rotated. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3C, after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the second radiation arm 112, the pattern of the first antenna 11 is rotated anticlockwise, and correspondingly, an equivalent current path of the first antenna 11 shown in (c) in FIG. 2 is rotated.



FIG. 4(a) and FIG. 4(b) are a diagram of performance simulation curves of an S parameter and antenna efficiency of the antenna system in FIG. 1A before and after the tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system. FIG. 5(a) and FIG. 5(b) are a diagram of simulation curves of an S parameter and antenna efficiency of the antenna system in FIG. 1B before and after the tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system. The S parameter of the antenna system may include S11, S22, S12, and S21. S11 represents a port reflection coefficient of a first antenna in the antenna system, S22 represents a port reflection coefficient of a second antenna in the antenna system, S12 represents a transmission coefficient/isolation from the first antenna to the second antenna, and S21 represents a transmission coefficient/isolation from the second antenna to the first antenna. If the antenna system is a reciprocal network, S12=S21, the example antenna systems in embodiments of this application are reciprocal networks. In FIG. 4(a) and FIG. 4(b) and FIG. 5(a) and FIG. 5(b), “0_S11”, “0_S21”, and “0_S22” represent performance simulation curves of the S parameter of the antenna system before the tuning stub is loaded. “T_S11”, “T_S21”, and “T_S22” represent performance simulation curves of the S parameter of the antenna system after the tuning stub is loaded. “0_antenna efficiency [1]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the first antenna 11 before the tuning stub is loaded, and “0_antenna efficiency [2]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the second antenna 12 before the tuning stub is loaded. “T_antenna efficiency [1]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the first antenna 11 after the tuning stub is loaded; and “T_antenna efficiency [2]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the second antenna 12 after the tuning stub is loaded.


As shown in FIG. 4(a), after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the first radiation arm 111, isolation between the first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12 is increased by approximately 5 decibels (dB) at a center working frequency (2.45 GHZ), to more than 35 dB, and an input return loss S11 of the first antenna 11 is decreased. Refer to FIG. 4(b). The antenna efficiency of the first antenna 11 is not reduced, but is improved, and an output return loss S22 of the first antenna 11 and the antenna efficiency of the second antenna 12 remain unchanged.


As shown in FIG. 5(a), after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the second radiation arm 112, isolation between the first antenna 11 and the second antenna 12 is increased by more than 15 dB, to more than 45 dB, and an input return loss S11 of the first antenna 11 is decreased. Refer to FIG. 5(b). The antenna efficiency of the first antenna 11 is not reduced, but is improved.


It can be seen from FIG. 5(a) that, after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the second radiation arm 112, a “decoupling pit” appears on the S21 curve of the first antenna 11, and isolation on a corresponding frequency band is extremely good. As shown in FIG. 4(a), after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the first radiation arm 111, an increase of isolation is less than an increase of isolation after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the second radiation arm 112. The main reason is that, after the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the second radiation arm 112, the equivalent current paths of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other, a connection line between maximum current points of the equivalent current paths of the two antennas is perpendicular to the equivalent current path of the first antenna 11, and the equivalent current path of the first antenna 11 is symmetric relative to a perpendicular from the maximum current point of the second antenna 12 to the equivalent current path of the first antenna 11. In this case, an incoming wave component that is of the second antenna 12 and that is received by the first radiation arm 111 of the first antenna 11 and an incoming wave component that is of the second antenna 12 and that is received by the second radiation arm 112 of the first antenna 11 and the tuning stub 13 are equal in amplitude and opposite in phase. The two incoming wave components can be completely canceled when reaching a port of the first antenna 11. Therefore, a “decoupling pit” appears on a corresponding frequency band. After the tuning stub 13 is loaded on the first radiation arm 111, the equivalent current paths of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other, but a connection line between maximum current points of the equivalent current paths of the two antennas is not perpendicular to the equivalent current path of the first antenna 11, and the equivalent current path of the first antenna 11 is not completely symmetric relative to a perpendicular from the maximum current point of the second antenna 12 to the equivalent current path of the first antenna 11. In this case, an incoming wave component that is of the second antenna 12 and that is received by the first radiation arm 111 of the first antenna 11 and the tuning stub 13, and an incoming wave component that is of the second antenna 12 and that is received by the second radiation arm 112 of the first antenna 11 are not completely equal in amplitude and opposite in phase. The two incoming wave components cannot be completely canceled. Therefore, a “decoupling pit” does not appear on a corresponding frequency band.


Embodiment 2


FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a structure of another antenna system according to an embodiment of this application, where (a) in FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the antenna system on an XOZ plane, and (b) in FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the antenna system on a YOZ plane.


The antenna system includes a first antenna 21, a second antenna 22, and a tuning stub 23. The first antenna 21 and the second antenna 22 are a pair of dipole antennas whose operating frequency bands include a 2.4 GHz frequency band (referred to as a first operating frequency band herein) and a 5 GHz frequency band (referred to as a second operating frequency band herein), and an equivalent current path of the first antenna 21 is perpendicular to an equivalent current path of the second antenna 22 on different planes.


The first antenna 21 may include a first radiation arm 211, a second radiation arm 212, a third radiation arm 213, a fourth radiation arm 214, and a first impedance tuning arm 215. A feed point 210 of the first antenna 21 is located between two ends of the first impedance tuning arm 215.


An operating frequency band of each of the first radiation arm 211 and the second radiation arm 212 is the first operating frequency band, and the first radiation arm 211 and the second radiation arm 212 are connected to the two ends of the first impedance tuning arm 215. An electrical length of each of the first radiation arm 211 and the second radiation arm 212 may be 0.25λ1, and λ1 is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHz) of the first operating frequency band. A current flows from the second radiation arm 212 to the first radiation arm 211.


An operating frequency band of each of the third radiation arm 213 and the fourth radiation arm 214 is the second operating frequency band, and the third radiation arm 213 and the fourth radiation arm 214 are connected to the two ends of the first impedance tuning arm 215. An electrical length of each of the third radiation arm 213 and the fourth radiation arm 214 may be 0.25λ2, and λ2 is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (5.5 GHZ) of the second operating frequency band. A current flows from the fourth radiation arm 214 to the third radiation arm 213.


The first radiation arm 211 and the second radiation arm 212 each may form a semi-annular bending structure, the third radiation arm 213 may be located in an area enclosed by the first radiation arm 211, and the fourth radiation arm 214 may be located in an area enclosed by the second radiation arm 212, to save space. The third radiation arm 213 and the fourth radiation arm 214 each may include a rectangular supporting arm and a linear supporting arm that connects the rectangular supporting arm to the feed point 210, and the rectangular supporting arm is used to further save space.


Similar to a structure of the first antenna 21, the second antenna 22 may include a fifth radiation arm 221, a sixth radiation arm 222, a seventh radiation arm 223, an eighth radiation arm 224, and a second impedance tuning arm 225, and a feed point 220 of the second antenna 22 is located between two ends of the second impedance tuning arm 225.


An operating frequency band of each of the fifth radiation arm 221 and the sixth radiation arm 222 is the first operating frequency band, the fifth radiation arm 221 and the sixth radiation arm 222 are connected to the two ends of the second impedance tuning arm 225, and an electrical length of each of the fifth radiation arm 221 and the sixth radiation arm 222 may be 0.25° C. A current flows from the sixth radiation arm 222 to the fifth radiation arm 221.


An operating frequency band of each of the seventh radiation arm 223 and the eighth radiation arm 224 is the second operating frequency band, the seventh radiation arm 223 and the eighth radiation arm 224 are connected to the two ends of the second impedance tuning arm 225, and an electrical length of each of the seventh radiation arm 223 and the eighth radiation arm 224 may be 0.25λ2. A current flows from the eighth radiation arm 224 to the seventh radiation arm 223.


The fifth radiation arm 221 and the sixth radiation arm 222 each may form a semi-annular bending structure, the seventh radiation arm 223 may be located in an area enclosed by the fifth radiation arm 221, and the eighth radiation arm 224 may be located in an area enclosed by the sixth radiation arm 222, to save space. The fifth radiation arm 221 and the sixth radiation arm 222 each may include a rectangular supporting arm and a linear supporting arm that connects the rectangular supporting arm to the feed point 220, and the rectangular supporting arm is used to further save space.


Each radiation arm of the first antenna 21 may be located on one side of the feed point 210, and the tuning stub 23 may be located on the other side of the feed point 210. In this way, impact of the tuning stub 23 on an operating frequency band of the first antenna 21 can be reduced, and tuning effect can be improved. Similar to the antenna system in Embodiment 1, the tuning stub 23 may be connected to a position that is on the first radiation arm 211 or the second radiation arm 212 and that is close to the feed point 210. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the tuning stub 23 may be connected to one end that is of the first radiation arm 211 and that is close to the feed point 210, that is, may be connected to the feed point 210, to improve tuning effect.


A shape of the tuning stub 23 may be set based on available space of the antenna. Herein, for example, the tuning stub 23 is in a T shape, to save horizontal space (namely, space in an X-axis direction in FIG. 6). Specifically, the tuning stub 23 may include a first stub 231 and a second stub 232 that are perpendicular to each other. One end of the second stub 232 may be connected to a middle part of the first stub 231, and the other end of the second stub 232 may be connected to the feed point 210. The second stub 232 may be specifically connected to a midpoint or near a midpoint of the first stub 231.


The tuning stub 23 may be parallel to a first plane, to achieve better tuning effect. The first plane is perpendicular to the equivalent current path of the second antenna 22. The first plane in FIG. 6 is a plane parallel to the XOZ plane.


The entire tuning stub 23 is configured to adjust isolation of the two antennas on the first operating frequency band, and a part of the tuning stub 23 is configured to adjust isolation of the two antennas on the second operating frequency band.


Similarly, a tuning element may be loaded on each radiation arm of the antenna system, and an operating frequency of the radiation arm is tuned by using the tuning element, to reduce an antenna length. For example, no tuning element is loaded on the radiation arm of each of the first antenna 21 and the second antenna 22, physical lengths of the first radiation arm 211, the second radiation arm 212, the fifth radiation arm 221, and the sixth radiation arm 222 are all 27 mm, and sizes of rectangular supporting arms of the third radiation arm 213, the fourth radiation arm 214, the seventh radiation arm 223, and the eighth radiation arm 224 are all 8 mm*4.5 mm. A first tuning element 233 and a second tuning element 234 are disposed on the tuning stub 23 at an interval. The first tuning element 233 is located between the second tuning element 234 and the feed point 210. A physical length of the first stub 231 is 19 mm, a sum of physical lengths of stub segments in the second stub 232 is 8 mm, a physical length of a stub between the first tuning element 233 and the second tuning element 234 is 4 mm, the first tuning element 233 is a resistor of 0Ω, and the second tuning element 234 is a band-stop filter. The band-stop filter is formed by connecting a 0.35 pF capacitor and a 2.2 nH inductor in parallel.


An electrical length of the entire tuning stub 23 may be approximately 0.25λ1, and may be specifically greater than 0.25λ1 and less than 0.35λ1. A stub between the first tuning element 233 and the second tuning element 234 on the tuning stub 23 and the first tuning element 233 are used to adjust isolation of the two antennas on the second operating frequency band. A sum of an electrical length of the stub and an electrical length of the first tuning element 233 may be approximately 0.25λ2, and may be specifically greater than 0.25λ2 and less than 0.35λ2.

As shown in (a) and (b) in FIG. 7, the patterns of the first antenna 21 at the two frequencies are rotated anticlockwise, to achieve tuning effect similar to that in Embodiment 1. The pattern is rotated because the equivalent current path of the first antenna 21 is changed. A main principle of the rotation is similar to that in Embodiment 1, and details are not described herein again.

An input return loss S11 of the first antenna 21 is slightly increased. Correspondingly, refer to FIG. 8(b). The antenna efficiency of the first antenna 21 is slightly reduced. Relative to an increase in isolation, the antenna efficiency is slightly changed. In addition, an output return loss S22 of the first antenna 21 and the antenna efficiency of the second antenna 22 remain unchanged.

The antenna system includes a first antenna 31, a second antenna 32, and a tuning stub 33. The first antenna 31 and the second antenna 32 are a pair of slot antennas whose operating frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band. The first antenna 31, the second antenna 32, and the tuning stub 33 are all in a straight line shape, and the first antenna 31 and the second antenna 32 are perpendicular to each other on different planes.

The second antenna 32 may include a second PCB 321 and a second slot 322, and a feed point 320 of the second antenna 32 is located at an end of the second slot 322. An electrical length of each of the first slot 312 and the second slot 322 may be 0.5λ, where λ is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHZ) of the 2.4 GHz frequency band.


The tuning stub 33 is located on the first PCB 311, and may be perpendicular to the first slot 312, to improve tuning effect.


In an optional implementation, as shown in FIG. 9A, the tuning stub 33 is a slot, and is located at an end that is of the first slot 312 and that is close to the second antenna 32. An electrical length of the tuning stub 33 may be approximately 0.5λ. A spacing from an end that is of the tuning stub 33 and that faces a current direction of the first antenna 31 to a connection point between the tuning stub 33 and the first slot 312 may be greater than a spacing from an end that is of the tuning stub 33 and that is back to the current direction of the first antenna 31 to the connection point between the tuning stub 33 and the first slot 312, to achieve better tuning effect.


In another optional implementation, as shown in (a) to (c) in FIG. 9B, the tuning stub 33 is a radiation arm, and an electrical length of the tuning stub 33 may be approximately 0.25λ. The tuning stub 33 may be disposed on an edge of the first slot 312, and forms any included angle with the first PCB 311. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, the tuning stub 33 is disposed at an end that is of the first slot 312 and that is away from the second antenna 32, a slot of the second antenna 32 is located at one side of the first slot 312, and the tuning stub 33 is located at an edge position on the other side of the first slot 312, to achieve better tuning effect.



FIG. 10 is a pattern of the first antenna on an XOZ plane before and after the tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system in FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, where (a) in FIG. 10 is a pattern of the first antenna 31 in FIG. 9A at 2.45 GHZ, and (b) in FIG. 10 is a pattern of the first antenna 31 in FIG. 9B at 2.45 GHz. “0_pattern (f=2.45)” represents a pattern of the first antenna 31 at 2.45 GHz before the tuning stub 33 is loaded, and “T_pattern (f=2.45)” represents a pattern of the first antenna 31 at 2.45 GHz after the tuning stub 33 is loaded.


As shown in (a) and (b) in FIG. 10, the patterns of the first antenna 31 in FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B are both changed, to achieve tuning effect similar to that in Embodiment 1. The pattern is changed because an equivalent current path of the first antenna 31 is changed. A main principle of the change is similar to that in Embodiment 1, and details are not described herein again.

FIG. 12(a) and FIG. 12(b) are a diagram of performance simulation curves of an S parameter and antenna efficiency of the antenna system in FIG. 9B before and after a tuning stub is loaded in the antenna system. “0_S11”, “0_S21”, and “0_S22” represent performance simulation curves of the S parameter of the antenna system before the tuning stub is loaded. “T_S11”, “T_S21”, and “T_S22” represent performance simulation curves of the S parameter of the antenna system after the tuning stub is loaded. “0_antenna efficiency [1]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the first antenna 31 before the tuning stub is loaded, and “0_antenna efficiency [2]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the second antenna 32 before the tuning stub is loaded. “T_antenna efficiency [1]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the first antenna 31 after the tuning stub is loaded. “T_antenna efficiency [2]” represents a performance simulation curve of the antenna efficiency of the second antenna 32 after the tuning stub is loaded.


As shown in FIG. 11(a), after the tuning stub 33 is loaded on the first antenna 31, isolation between the first antenna 31 and the second antenna 32 is increased by approximately 8 dB, to approximately 40 dB. An input return loss S11 of the first antenna 31 is slightly increased. Correspondingly, refer to FIG. 11(b). The antenna efficiency of the first antenna 31 is slightly reduced. Relative to an increase in isolation, the antenna efficiency is slightly changed. In addition, an output return loss S22 of the first antenna 31 and the antenna efficiency of the second antenna 32 remain unchanged.


As shown in FIG. 12(a), after the tuning stub 33 is loaded on the first antenna 31, isolation between the first antenna 31 and the second antenna 32 is increased by approximately 3 dB, to approximately 35 dB.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a structure of still another antenna system according to an embodiment of this application, where (a) in FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of the antenna system on an XOY plane before a tuning stub is loaded, and (b) and (c) in FIG. 13 show two solutions for loading a tuning stub.


The antenna system includes a first antenna 41, a second antenna 42, and a tuning stub 43. The first antenna 41 and the second antenna 42 are a pair of dipole antennas whose operating frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band. The first antenna 41, the second antenna 42, and the tuning stub 43 are all in a straight line shape, and both the first antenna 41 and the second antenna 42 are perpendicular to the XOY plane.


The two antennas in the antenna system are similar to the two antennas in the antenna system in Embodiment 1, and the difference lies in that in this embodiment, the two antennas are not perpendicular to each other. Similar to the antenna in Embodiment 1, the first antenna 41 may include a first radiation arm 411 and a second radiation arm 412 that are connected to each other. A feed point 410 of the first antenna 41 is located between the first radiation arm 411 and the second radiation arm 412. An electrical length of each of the first radiation arm 411 and the second radiation arm 412 may be 0.25λ, and λ is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHZ) of the 2.4 GHz frequency band. A current of the first antenna 41 flows from the second radiation arm 412 to the first radiation arm 411.


The second antenna 42 may include a third radiation arm 421 and a fourth radiation arm 422 that are connected to each other, a feed point 420 of the second antenna 42 is located between the third radiation arm 421 and the fourth radiation arm 422, and an electrical length of each of the third radiation arm 421 and the fourth radiation arm 422 is 0.25λ. A current of the second antenna 42 flows from the third radiation arm 421 to the fourth radiation arm 422.


As shown in (a) in FIG. 13, before the tuning stub 43 is loaded, an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum current point (at the feed point) of a current path P1 of the first antenna 41 and a projection of a maximum current point (at the feed point) of a current path P2 of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane and a projection of the current path P1 of the first antenna 41 on the XOY plane is a, and an included angle between the connection line and a projection of the current path P2 of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane is B.


An electrical length of the tuning stub 43 may be approximately 0.25λ, and may be specifically greater than 0.25λ and less than 0.35λ. The tuning stub 43 may be connected to a position that is on the first radiation arm 411 or the second radiation arm 412 and that is close to the feed point 410, and may form an included angle with the second antenna 42, to improve tuning effect.


In an optional implementation, as shown in (b) in FIG. 13, the tuning stub 43 may be connected to an end that is on the second radiation arm 412 and that is close to the feed point 410, and is perpendicular to the first antenna 41, that is, the tuning stub 43 may be connected to the feed point 410. A current on the tuning stub 43 flows to the feed point 410, and a current path is perpendicular to P1, so that an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum current point of an equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 41 and a projection of a maximum current point of an equivalent current path P2 of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane and a projection of the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 41 on the XOY plane is changed to θ1, where θ1 is greater than α.


In another optional implementation, as shown in (c) in FIG. 13, the tuning stub 43 may be connected to an end that is on the first radiation arm 411 and that is close to the feed point 410, and is perpendicular to the first antenna 41, that is, the tuning stub 43 may be connected to the feed point 410. A current on the tuning stub 43 flows to a tail end of the stub from the feed point 410, and a current path is perpendicular to P1, so that an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum current point of an equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 41 and a projection of a maximum current point of an equivalent current path P2 of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane and a projection of the equivalent current path P2 of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane is changed to θ2, where θ2 is greater than β.


During specific implementation, the tuning stub 43 may be parallel to the XOY plane, to achieve better tuning effect.


As shown in FIG. 13, the tuning stub 43 is loaded, so that an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna 41 and a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane and the projection of the equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 41 on the XOY plane may be closer to 90 degrees. Alternatively, an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna 41 and a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane and the projection of the equivalent current path P2 of the second antenna 42 on the XOY plane is closer to 90 degrees. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas can be improved.


In the foregoing solution, the tuning stub 43 is parallel to the XOY plane, to save space. It may be understood that, in this embodiment, when available space of the antenna is sufficient, a manner similar to those in the foregoing several embodiments may also be used to load the tuning stub 43 on a plane perpendicular to the second antenna 42, so that an included angle between a connection line between a projection of the maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna 41 and a projection of the maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna 42 on the plane and a projection of the equivalent current path of the first antenna 41 on the plane is closer to 90 degrees.

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a structure of still another antenna system according to an embodiment of this application, where (a) in FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the antenna system before a tuning stub is loaded, and (b) in FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the antenna system after a tuning stub is loaded.


The antenna system includes a first antenna 51, a second antenna 52, a tuning stub 53, and a PCB 54. The first antenna 51 and the second antenna 52 are a pair of monopole antennas whose operating frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band. The first antenna 51, the second antenna 52, and the tuning stub 53 are all in a straight line shape, and the first antenna 51 and the second antenna 52 are disposed on a first edge of the PCB 54 at an interval, and are electrically connected to the PCB 54.


The first antenna 51 may include a first radiation arm 511 and a first feed point 512. The first feed point 512 may be located at a connection position of the first radiation arm 511 and the PCB 54, an electrical length of the first radiation arm 511 may be 0.25λ, and λ is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHz) of the 2.4 GHz frequency band.


The second antenna 52 may include a second radiation arm 521 and a second feed point 522. The second feed point 522 may be located at a connection position of the second radiation arm 521 and the PCB 54, and an electrical length of the second radiation arm 521 may be 0.25λ. Current directions on the first antenna 51 and the second antenna 52 are the same.


The tuning stub 53 may be disposed on the first side edge of the PCB 54, and is electrically connected to the PCB 54. A current on the tuning stub 53 and a current on the first antenna 51 are opposite in direction. An electrical length of the tuning stub 53 may be approximately 0.25λ, and may be specifically greater than 0.25λ and less than 0.35λ. The first side edge may be any side of the PCB 54.


The first antenna 51, the second antenna 52, and the tuning stub 53 may be parallel to a plane in which the PCB 54 is located, or may each have an included angle with a plane in which the PCB 54 is located. In FIG. 14, parallel is used as an example for description.


As shown in (a) in FIG. 14, before the tuning stub 53 is loaded, a current P01 of the first antenna 51 and a current P02 of the second antenna 52 flow from respective radiation arms to the PCB 54, and an included angle between an equivalent current path P11 of the first antenna 51 and an equivalent current path P12 of the second antenna 52 is α. As shown in (b) in FIG. 14, after the tuning stub 53 is loaded, the equivalent current path of the first antenna 51 and the equivalent current path of the second antenna 52 are changed, so that the equivalent current path of the first antenna 51 is changed to P21, and the equivalent current path of the second antenna 52 is changed to P22. The equivalent current path P21 and the equivalent current path P22 form an included angle θ, and the included angle θ is closer to 90 degrees than α. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas can be improved.


It may be understood that, the foregoing solutions for improving antenna isolation by using the tuning stub are merely examples, and are not intended to limit this application. A connection line between projection points of the maximum equivalent current points of the two antennas on a first plane tends to be more perpendicular to a projection of the equivalent current path of the first antenna or the second antenna on the first plane, provided that the equivalent current path of the antenna in the antenna system can be changed. Alternatively, the equivalent current paths of the two antennas tend to be more perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, a form of the antenna may be a dipole antenna, or may be a monopole antenna, an inverted-F antenna (inverted-F antenna, IFA), a loop (LOOP) antenna, a T-shaped antenna, or another antenna solution. A form of the antenna may alternatively be a slot antenna, a patch (patch) antenna, or an antenna of another type or a hybrid solution. Relative positions of the two antennas may be perpendicular to each other, or may form any included angle. The two antennas may be in a same plane, or may be on any relative position. The loaded tuning stub may be in a straight line shape, a T shape, an L shape, a snake shape, or another shape. A loading position and a cabling direction of the tuning stub may be determined based on available space of the antenna, and the tuning stub may be loaded on either of the two antennas, or may be loaded on both the two antennas. In addition, the tuning stub may be on any radiation arm of the antenna or on a PCB that serves as an arm of the antenna. The tuning stub may be located in the same plane as the two antennas, or may be loaded in another plane, provided that an equivalent path and a direction of a tuning resonant current are reached.


The following describes several feasible solutions for improving antenna isolation by adjusting an antenna direction.

As shown in (a) in FIG. 15, the antenna system includes a first antenna 61 and a second antenna 62. The first antenna 61 and the second antenna 62 are perpendicular to each other on different plane.

The first antenna 61 may include a first radiation arm 611 and a second radiation arm 612 that are connected to each other. A feed point 610 of the first antenna 61 is located between the first radiation arm 611 and the second radiation arm 612. An electrical length of each of the first radiation arm 611 and the second radiation arm 612 may be 0.25λ, where λ is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHZ) of a 2.4 GHz frequency band.

In this embodiment, an equivalent current path of the antenna is changed by rotating the antenna radiation arm, to improve isolation between the two antennas.


When the radiation arm of the antenna is rotated, the radiation arm of one of the antennas may be rotated, or the radiation arms of both the two antennas may be rotated.

When the first radiation arm 611 is rotated, the first radiation arm 611 may be rotated by a specific angle around the feed point towards the second antenna 62. When the second radiation arm 612 is rotated, the second radiation arm 612 may be rotated by a specific angle around the feed point towards a direction away from the second antenna 62. A polarization direction and a length of the rotated radiation arm can be adjusted by loading a tuning element on the radiation arm.

FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of structures of still some other antenna systems according to an embodiment of this application, where (a) in FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of an antenna system on an XOZ plane before an antenna direction is adjusted, and (b) and (c) in FIG. 19 show several possible antenna direction adjustment solutions.


As shown in (a) in FIG. 19, the antenna system includes a first antenna 71 and a second antenna 72. The two antennas are similar to the two antennas in the antenna system in Embodiment 4 shown in FIG. 13. The first antenna 71 and the second antenna 72 are a pair of dipole antennas whose operating frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band. The first antenna 71, the second antenna 72, and a tuning stub are all in a straight line shape. The first antenna 71 and the second antenna 72 are all parallel to an XOY plane.


The first antenna 71 may include a first radiation arm 711 and a second radiation arm 712 that are connected to each other. A feed point 710 of the first antenna 71 is located between the first radiation arm 711 and the second radiation arm 712. An electrical length of each of the first radiation arm 711 and the second radiation arm 712 may be 0.25λ, and λ is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHZ) of the 2.4 GHz frequency band. A current of the first antenna 71 flows from the second radiation arm 712 to the first radiation arm 711.


The second antenna 72 may include a third radiation arm 721 and a fourth radiation arm 722 that are connected to each other, a feed point 720 of the second antenna 72 is located between the third radiation arm 721 and the fourth radiation arm 722, and an electrical length of each of the third radiation arm 721 and the fourth radiation arm 722 is 0.25λ.

As shown in (a) in FIG. 19, before the antenna is rotated, an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum current point on a current path P1 of the first antenna 71 and a projection of a maximum current point on a current path P2 of the second antenna 72 on the XOY plane and a projection of the current path 71 of the first antenna 71 on the XOY plane is α.


Similar to Embodiment 6, when the radiation arm of the antenna is rotated, the radiation arm of one of the antennas may be rotated, or the radiation arms of both the two antennas may be rotated. The rotated radiation arm may be parallel to the XOY plane, or may form an included angle with the XOY plane. In this embodiment, an example in which the radiation arm of the first antenna 71 is rotated in parallel to the XOY plane is used for description. When the radiation arm of the first antenna 71 is rotated, one of the radiation arms may be rotated, or both the two radiation arms may be rotated.


A solution in which both the first radiation arm 711 and the second radiation arm 712 are rotated is shown in (b) in FIG. 19. As shown in (b) in FIG. 19, after the first radiation arm 711 and the second radiation arm 712 are rotated clockwise by a specific angle on the XOY plane, an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna 71 and a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna 72 on the XOY plane and a projection of an equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 71 on the XOY plane is increased to θ1, where θ1 is closer to 90 degrees than α. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas can be improved.

As shown in (b) in FIG. 19, after the second radiation arm 712 is rotated clockwise by a specific angle on the XOY plane, an included angle between a connection line between a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the first antenna 71 and a projection of a maximum equivalent current point of the second antenna 72 on the XOY plane and a projection of an equivalent current path P3 of the first antenna 71 on the XOY plane is increased to θ2, where θ2 is closer to 90 degrees than a. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas can be improved.


In this embodiment, the first antenna 71 may also be rotated, so that an equivalent current path of the first antenna 71 is perpendicular to or more perpendicular to an equivalent current path of the second antenna 72, to improve isolation between the two antennas.


Embodiment 8


FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of a structure of yet another antenna system according to an embodiment of this application, where (a) in FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the antenna system before an antenna direction is adjusted, and (b) in FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram of a structure of the antenna system after the antenna direction is adjusted.


The antenna system includes a first antenna 81, a second antenna 82, and a PCB 83. The antenna system is similar to the two antennas and the PCB 83 of the antenna system in Embodiment 4 shown in FIG. 14. The first antenna 81 and the second antenna 82 are a pair of monopole antennas whose operating frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band. Both the first antenna 81 and the second antenna 82 are in a straight line shape. The first antenna 81 and the second antenna 82 are disposed on a first side edge of the PCB 83 at an interval, and are electrically connected to the PCB 83.


The first antenna 81 may include a first radiation arm 811 and a first feed point 812. The first feed point 812 may be located at a connection position of the first radiation arm 811 and the PCB 83, an electrical length of the first radiation arm 811 may be 0.25λ, and λ is a wavelength corresponding to a center operating frequency (2.45 GHZ) of the 2.4 GHz frequency band.


The second antenna 82 may include a second radiation arm 821 and a second feed point 822. The second feed point 822 may be located at a connection position of the second radiation arm 821 and the PCB 83, and an electrical length of the second radiation arm 821 may be 0.25λ. Current directions on the first antenna 81 and the second antenna 82 are the same.


As shown in (a) in FIG. 20, before the antenna is loaded, a current P01 of the first antenna 81 and a current P02 of the second antenna 82 flow from respective radiation arms to the PCB 83, and an included angle between an equivalent current path P1 of the first antenna 81 and an equivalent current path P2 of the second antenna 82 is α.


Similar to Embodiment 6, when the antenna is rotated, one of the antennas may be rotated, or both the two antennas may be rotated. The rotated antenna may be parallel to a plane on which the PCB 83 is located, or may form an included angle with a plane on which the PCB 83 is located. In this embodiment, an example in which the second antenna 82 is rotated in parallel to the plane on which the PCB 83 is located is used for description.


A solution in which the second antenna 82 is rotated is shown in (b) in FIG. 20. As shown in (b) in FIG. 20, after the second antenna 82 is rotated clockwise by 90 degrees on an XOY plane, an equivalent current path of the second antenna 82 is changed to P3, and an equivalent current path of the first antenna 81 and the equivalent current path of the second antenna 82 form an included angle θ. The included angle θ is closer to 90 degrees than α. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas can be improved.


It may be understood that, in the foregoing various solutions for improving antenna isolation by adjusting an antenna direction, an angle of adjusting an antenna may be any angle, one of the antennas may be adjusted, or both the two antennas may be adjusted, or one arm of the antenna may be adjusted, or both the two arms may be adjusted. Angles adjusted by the two arms may be the same or different. A physical length of the antenna may also be any length, and an electrical length of the antenna may reach approximately 0.25λ by loading a tuning element.


In addition, a specific parameter value (for example, an electrical length, a size, or a frequency) of each antenna component described in the foregoing embodiments is an example. Each parameter value may be an approximate value, that is, an error may be allowed, or may be adjusted based on an actual situation. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.


In addition, the antenna system may also include more than three antennas, and isolation between any two antennas may be implemented by adding a tuning stub or adjusting an antenna direction.


According to the antenna system provided in embodiments of this application, an equivalent current path of at least one of two antennas is adjusted by loading a tuning stub in an antenna system, or an equivalent current path of an antenna is rotated by rotating a radiation arm of the antenna, so that a connection line between projection points of maximum current points of the equivalent current paths of the two antennas on a target plane may trend to be more perpendicular to a projection of an adjusted equivalent current path of the antenna on the target plane, or the equivalent current paths of the two antennas tend to be more perpendicular to each other. When the equivalent current paths of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other, polarization directions of the two antennas are perpendicular to each other, and the two antennas receive fewer incoming wave components (namely, interference waves) from each other. Therefore, isolation between the two antennas can be improved. When a connection line between maximum equivalent current points of the two antennas is perpendicular to the equivalent current path of a target antenna of the two antennas, incoming wave components that are of the other antenna and that are received by radiation arms on two sides of a feed point of the target antenna are equal in amplitude and opposite in phase, and the two incoming wave components can cancel each other when reaching the feed point of the target antenna. In this way, isolation between the two antennas can be effectively improved.
