For a better understanding of various examples of embodiments of the present invention reference will now be made by way of example only to the accompanying drawings in which:
In more detail,
In the following description, the wording ‘connect’ and ‘couple’ and their derivatives mean operationally connected/coupled. It should be appreciated that any number or combination of intervening components can exist (including no intervening elements). Additionally, it should be appreciated that the connection/coupling may be a physical galvanic connection and/or an electromagnetic connection.
Additionally, in the following description it should be appreciated that where an antenna is mentioned as being operable in a resonant frequency band, it should be understood to mean that the antenna is operable in a frequency band over which the antenna can efficiently operate. Efficient operation occurs, for example, when the antenna's insertion loss S11 is greater than an operational threshold such as 4 dB or 6 dB
The apparatus 10 may be any electronic device and may be, for example, a portable electronic device such as a mobile cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, a palm top computer, a portable WLAN or WiFi device, or module for such devices. As used here, ‘module’ refers to a unit or apparatus that excludes certain parts/components that would be added by an end manufacturer or a user.
In the embodiment where the apparatus 10 is a mobile cellular telephone, the other circuitry 16 includes input/output devices such as a microphone, a loudspeaker, keypad and a display. The electronic components that provide the controller 12, the memory 14, the other circuitry 16, the first transceiver 18, the first antenna 20, the second transceiver 22, the filter 24, the phase shifter 26 and the second antenna 28 may be interconnected via a printed wiring board (PWB) 32 which may serve as a ground plane for the first antenna 20 and for the second antenna 28. In various embodiments, the printed wiring board 32 may be a flexible printed wiring board.
The implementation of the controller 12 can be in hardware alone (e.g. a circuit, a processor . . . ), have certain aspects in software including firmware alone or can be a combination of hardware and software (including firmware).
The controller 12 may be implemented using instructions that enable hardware functionality, for example, by using executable computer program instructions in a general-purpose or special-purpose processor that may be stored on a computer readable storage medium (e.g. disk, memory etc) to be executed by such a processor.
The controller 12 is configured to read from and write to the memory 14. The controller 12 may also comprise an output interface via which data and/or commands are output by the controller 12 and an input interface via which data and/or commands are input to the controller 12.
The memory 14 may be any suitable memory and may, for example be permanent built-in memory such as flash memory or it may be a removable memory such as a hard disk, secure digital (SD) card or a micro-drive. The memory 14 stores a computer program 15 comprising computer program instructions that control the operation of the apparatus 10 when loaded into the controller 12. The computer program instructions 15 provide the logic and routines that enables the apparatus 10 to perform the method illustrated in
The computer program 15 may arrive at the apparatus 10 via any suitable delivery mechanism 30. The delivery mechanism 30 may be, for example, a computer-readable storage medium, a computer program product, a memory device, a record medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD, an article of manufacture that tangibly embodies the computer program 15. The delivery mechanism 30 may be a signal configured to reliably transfer the computer program 15. The apparatus 10 may propagate or transmit the computer program 15 as a computer data signal.
Although the memory 14 is illustrated as a single component it may be implemented as one or more separate components, some or all of which may be integrated/removable and/or may provide permanent/semi-permanent/dynamic/cached storage.
References to ‘computer-readable storage medium’, ‘computer program product’, ‘tangibly embodied computer program’ etc. or a ‘controller’, ‘computer’, ‘processor’ etc. should be understood to encompass not only computers having different architectures such as single/multi-processor architectures and sequential (e.g. Von Neumann)/parallel architectures but also specialized circuits such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), application specific circuits (ASIC), signal processing devices and other devices. References to computer program, instructions, code etc. should be understood to encompass software for a programmable processor or firmware such as, for example, the programmable content of a hardware device whether instructions for a processor, or configuration settings for a fixed-function device, gate array or programmable logic device etc.
The controller 12 is coupled to the first antenna 20 via the first transceiver 18. The first transceiver 18 is configured to receive and decode signals received at the first antenna 20 and provide the decoded signals to the controller 12 for processing. The first transceiver 18 is also configured to receive and encode signals from the controller 12 and provide the encoded signals to the first antenna 20 for transmission.
In various embodiments, the first antenna 20 may be any suitable antenna which is operable in at least a first resonant frequency band. For example, the first antenna 20 may be configured to receive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals (e.g. GPS signals having a frequency band of 1570.42 MHz to 1580.42 MHz) and provide them to the transceiver 18 for decoding. The first antenna 20 may also be operable in a plurality of different radio frequency bands and/or protocols.
The controller 12 is coupled to the second antenna 28 via the second transceiver 22, the filter 24 and the phase shifter 26. The second transceiver 22 is configured to receive and decode signals received at the second antenna 28 and provide the decoded signals to the controller 12 for processing. The second transceiver 22 is also configured to receive and encode signals from the controller 12 and provide the encoded signals to the second antenna 28 for transmission.
The filter 24 is connected between the second transceiver 22 and the phase shifter 26, and the phase shifter 26 is in turn connected to the second antenna 28. The filter 24 may be any suitable filter for filtering a signal received at, or provided to, the second antenna 28. The filter 24 may be a single electronic component (e.g. an inductor or a capacitor) which may be variable, or may include a plurality of electronic components such as inductors and capacitors which may also be variable.
The filter 24 may be included within a multiplexer such as a diplexer or a triplexer. The filter 24 may be, for example, a low pass filter which attenuates relatively high frequency signals (e.g. a 1800 MHz signal) but does not substantially attenuate relatively low frequency signals (e.g. a 900 MHz signal). Alternatively, the filter 24 may be, for example, a high pass filter which attenuates relatively low frequency signals (e.g. a 900 MHz signal) but does not substantially attenuate relatively high frequency signals (e.g. a 1800 MHz signal). Low pass and high pass filters are well known in the field of electronics and will not be discussed in detail here.
The phase shifter 26 may be any suitable phase shifter for changing the electrical length of the filter 24 and second antenna 28 combination. For example, the phase shifter 26 may be any one of, or include any combination of transmission lines, delay lines, inductors and capacitors. Phase shifters are well known in the field of electronics and will consequently not be discussed in detail here. It should be appreciated that in some embodiments of the present invention, the phase shifter 26 may be integral with the filter 24 and the filter 24 may provide the functionality of the phase shifter 26. For example, if the filter includes a variable reactive component (e.g. a variable capacitor or a variable inductor), the phase shifter 26 may be provided by that variable reactive component. In these embodiments, it may not be necessary to provide a phase shifter, separate from the filter.
The phase shifter 26 may be a variable phase shifter and may be configured to receive a control signal 34 from the controller 12. In various embodiments, the phase shifter 26 may include a plurality of selectable, different, reactive elements and the controller 12 may be configured to select one of the reactive elements by using the control signal 34. For example, the phase shifter 26 may include a plurality of different transmission lines and a switch and the controller 12 may control the switch to connect the second antenna 28 to one of the transmission lines. In this way, the controller 12 may be configured to control the electrical length of the filter 24 and second antenna 28 combination.
The second antenna 28 may be any antenna which is suitable for operation in an apparatus 10 such as a mobile cellular telephone. For example, the second antenna 28 may be a planar inverted F antenna (PIFA), a planar inverted L antenna (PILA), a loop antenna, a monopole antenna or a dipole antenna. The second antenna 28 may also have matching components between the second antenna 28 and the second transceiver 22. These matching components may be lumped components (e.g. inductors and capacitors), transmission lines, or a combination of both. The second antenna 28 is operable in at least a second operational resonant frequency band and may also be operable in a plurality of different radio frequency bands and/or protocols (e.g. GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA).
The first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28 may be positioned in relatively close proximity to one another. For example, they may be located at a distance of 5 mm to 40 mm from one another. Since the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28 are connected to different transceivers, it should be appreciated that the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28 do not form an antenna array.
The first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28 may be configured to operate in a plurality of different operational radio frequency bands and via a plurality of different protocols. For example, the different operational frequency bands and protocols may include (but are not limited to) AM radio (0.535-1.705 MHz); FM radio (76-108 MHz); Bluetooth (2400-2483.5 MHz); WLAN (2400-2483.5 MHz); HLAN (5150-5850 MHz); GPS (1570.42-1580.42 MHz); US-GSM 850 (824-894 MHz); EGSM 900 (880-960 MHz); EU-WCDMA 900 (880-960 MHz); PCN/DCS 1800 (1710-1880 MHz); US-WCDMA 1900 (1850-1990 MHz); WCDMA 2100 (Tx: 1920-1980 MHz Rx: 2110-2180 MHz); PCS1900 (1850-1990 MHz); UWB Lower (3100-4900 MHz); UWB Upper (6000-10600 MHz); DVB-H (470-702 MHz); DVB-H US (1670-1675 MHz); DRM (0.15-30 MHz); Wi Max (2300-2400 MHz, 2305-2360 MHz, 2496-2690 MHz, 3300-3400 MHz, 3400-3800 MHz, 5250-5875 MHz); DAB (174.928-239.2 MHz, 1452.96-1490.62 MHz); RFID LF (0.125-0.134 MHz); RFID HF (13.56-13.56 MHz); RFID UHF (433 MHz, 865-956 MHz, 2450 MHz). As mentioned above, an operational frequency band is a frequency range over which an antenna can efficiently operate. Efficient operation occurs, for example, when the antenna's insertion loss S11 is greater than an operational threshold such as 4 dB or 6 dB
The phase shifter 26 is configured to provide the combination of at least the filter 24 and the second antenna 28 with an impedance at the first resonant frequency band (e.g. GPS frequency band of 1570.42 MHz to 1580.42 MHz) which substantially suppresses coupling between the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28.
Embodiments of the present invention may provide an advantage in that they may help reduce coupling between the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28 at the first resonant frequency band and thereby isolate the second antenna 28 from the first antenna 20. This may result in improved signal transmission/reception at the antennas and/or decreased energy consumption by the apparatus.
The combination of the filter 24 and the second antenna 28 may form a notch filter (also called a band stop filter) which has a (non-radiating) resonant frequency band. It should be appreciated that the resonant frequency band of the notch filter attenuates those frequencies of a signal which lie within the resonant frequency band and does not substantially attenuate those frequencies which are outside of the resonant frequency band. For example, if the resonant frequency band of a notch filter is 800-900 MHz and a signal has a frequency range of 700-1000 MHz, the notch filter attenuates the portion of the signal having frequencies in the range of 800-900 MHz and does not substantially attenuate the portions of the signal having frequencies in the range of 700-800 MHz and 900-1000 MHz.
The phase shifter 26 is configured to tune the resonant frequency band of the notch filter formed by the combination of the filter 24 and the second antenna 28 so that the resonant frequency band of the notch filter is substantially equal to the first resonant frequency band. For example, if the resonant frequency band of the notch filter formed by the filter 24 and second antenna 28 combination is 800-900 MHz and the first resonant frequency band of the first antenna 20 is 1570.42 MHz to 1580.42 MHz (a GPS frequency signal), then the phase shifter 26 may be configured so as to shift the resonant frequency band of the notch filter from 800-900 MHz to 1500-1600 MHz, thereby covering the first resonant frequency band and isolating the second antenna 28 and first antenna 20 from one another.
In more detail,
The first filter 24 is, in this example, a low pass filter and includes an inductor 42, connected between the first phase shifter 26 and the second transceiver 22, and a capacitor 44 connected between the inductor 42 and ground. The second filter 36 is, in this example, a high pass filter and includes a capacitor 46, connected between the second phase shifter 38 and the second transceiver 22, and an inductor 48 connected between the capacitor 46 and ground. The first filter 24 and the second filter 36 may be included within a multiplexer 41 such as a diplexer or a triplexer.
As mentioned above, the first phase shifter 26 and the second phase shifter 38 may be any suitable phase shifters for changing the electrical length of the first filter 24, second antenna 28 combination and the second filter 36, third antenna 40 combination respectively. For example, the first and second phase shifters 26, 38 may be any one of, or include any combination of transmission lines, delay lines, inductors and capacitors.
The third antenna 40 may be any suitable antenna for an apparatus 10 such as a mobile cellular telephone. Additionally, the third antenna 40 may be operable in any of the above mentioned operational frequency bands and/or protocols.
The second antenna 28 is connected to the first phase shifter 26 and is operable in a second resonant frequency band (e.g. US GSM 850). The third antenna 40 is connected to the second phase shifter 38 and is operable in a third resonant frequency band (e.g. US WCDMA 1900). In
The second antenna 28 includes a capacitor 50, a resistor 52 and an inductor 54 connected in series with one another. The capacitor 50 is connected to the first phase shifter 26 and the inductor 54 is connected to ground. The third antenna 40 includes a capacitor 56, a resistor 58 and an inductor 60 connected in series with one another. The capacitor 56 is connected to the second filter 38 and the inductor 60 is connected to ground.
The combination of the first filter 24 and the second antenna 28 form a notch filter which has a (non radiating) resonant frequency band (e.g. at 1800 MHz). In particular, the capacitor 44 of the first filter 24 and the inductor 54 of the second antenna 28 form a notch filter having a resonant frequency band. In the embodiment illustrated in
The first phase shifter 26 is configured to tune the resonant frequency band of the notch filter 44, 54 to be substantially equal to the first resonant frequency band and thereby suppress coupling between the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28.
The first phase shifter 26 may be a variable phase shifter which is configured to receive a control signal 34 from the controller 12. In this embodiment, the controller 12 is configured to control the first phase shifter 26 to tune the resonant frequency band of the notch filter 44, 54 to be substantially equal to a resonant frequency band, selectable from a plurality of resonant frequency bands, which suppresses coupling between the second antenna 28 and any other antenna operating in any one of those selectable resonant frequency bands.
For example, if the first antenna 20 is operable at 1300 MHz and 1500 MHz, the controller 12 may control the first phase shifter 26 to shift the resonant frequency band of the notch filter 44, 54 to be substantially equal to 1300 MHz or 1500 MHz and thereby select which frequency band of the first antenna 20 the second antenna 28 is isolated from.
The combination of the second filter 36 and the third antenna 40 form a notch filter which has a (non radiating) resonant frequency band (e.g. at 850 MHz). In particular, the inductor 48 of the second filter 36 and the capacitor 56 of the third antenna 40 form a notch filter having a resonant frequency band. In the embodiment illustrated in
The second phase shifter 38 is configured to tune the resonant frequency band of the notch filter 48, 56 to be substantially equal to the first resonant frequency band and thereby suppress coupling between the first antenna 20 and the third antenna 40.
The second phase shifter 38 may be a variable phase shifter which is configured to receive a control signal 34 from the controller 12. In this embodiment, the controller 12 is configured to control the second phase shifter 36 to tune the resonant frequency band of the notch filter 48, 56 to be substantially equal to a resonant frequency band, selectable from a plurality of resonant frequency bands, and thereby suppress coupling between the third antenna 40 and any other antenna operating in any one of those selectable resonant frequency bands.
For example, if the first antenna 20 is operable at 1300 MHz and 1500 MHz, the controller 12 may control the second phase shifter 38 to shift the resonant frequency band of the notch filter 48, 56 to be substantially equal to 1300 MHz or 1500 MHz and thereby select which frequency band of the first antenna 20 the third antenna 40 is isolated from.
The generation of the non-radiating resonances may also be understood from the Smith Charts illustrated in
From the Smith Charts illustrated in
If the controller 12 determines that isolation is required, at block 76, the controller 12 controls the first phase shifter 26 and/or the second phase shifter 38 shifter to provide the combination of the first filter 24, second antenna 28 and/or the second filter 36, third antenna 40, with an impedance at a resonant frequency band, selectable from a plurality of resonant frequency bands, which substantially suppresses coupling between the first antenna 20 and the second antenna 28 and/or the third antenna 40 respectively. The method then returns to block 74.
The computer program instructions provide: computer readable program means 15 for controlling a phase shifter to provide a combination of filter and a antenna, coupled to filter, with an impedance at a resonant frequency band, selectable from a plurality of resonant frequency bands, which substantially suppresses coupling between the antenna and another antenna.
