The present disclosure relates to a combo antenna module, and more specifically, to a combo antenna module mounted on a portable terminal to perform the wireless power reception and the short range communication.
With the technology development, the short range communication function and the wireless power reception (or wireless charging) function are applied to a portable terminal. That is, the portable terminal transmits and receives data to and from other electronic devices using the short range communication (e.g., NFC) function, and charges an embedded battery using the wireless power reception (or wireless charging) function.
Meanwhile, in the portable terminal market, the portable terminal is released by being classified into a low-priced line and a high-priced line. At this time, the low-priced line is released by excluding the wireless charging function from the high-priced line, or limiting the performance of the short range communication.
In recent years, since the low-priced terminal also requires the wireless charging function, the manufacturers are developing an antenna module for providing the wireless charging function while minimizing the increase in the manufacturing cost.

The base sheet 131 is formed of a flexible substrate of a thin film such as a film, a sheet, or a thin film substrate. The base sheet 131 may be a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The base sheet 131 is, for example, a polypropylene (PP) sheet. Here, the base sheet 131 is not limited thereto, and may be variously used as long as it may be a thin film substrate and may be the substrate capable of forming the antenna pattern 133 configuring the antenna.
The base sheet 131 is formed to have the area smaller than that of the magnetic sheet 110 and disposed on the upper surface of the magnetic sheet 110. The base sheet 131 is formed to have a half or less of the area of the magnetic sheet 110, and disposed on the upper surface of the magnetic sheet 110. The base sheet 131 is disposed to be tilted to one side of four sides of the magnetic sheet 110.
The base sheet 131 overlaps the loop coil 120 disposed on the upper surface of the magnetic sheet 110. The base sheet 131 overlaps the region, in which the first end (RCE1) and the second end (RCE2) of the loop coil 120 are disposed, in the loop region in which the loop coil 120 is formed.
The terminal sheet 132 is formed such that the base sheet 131 extends outward from one side thereof. The terminal sheet 132 is the sheet on which terminal patterns are formed and is formed to extend outward from one side, which is adjacent to the loop coil 120 and both ends of the antenna pattern 133 to be described later, of four sides the base sheet 131. Here, the terminal sheet 132 may be formed integrally with the base sheet 131, or formed separately therefrom, and then coupled to the base sheet 131.
The antenna pattern 133 is formed on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The antenna pattern 133 is formed in the loop shape in which a virtual winding axe perpendicular to the base sheet 131 is wound in plural times. The antenna pattern 133 is formed in the rectangular loop shape winding along four sides of the base sheet 131. At this time, the antenna pattern 133 may also be formed on the lower surface of the base sheet 131.
A first end (APE1) of the antenna pattern 133 is disposed on the outer region of the loop formed by the antenna pattern 133. The first end (APE1) of the antenna pattern 133 is electrically connected to the first upper terminal pattern 137a and the first lower terminal pattern 136a through a via hole.

The second end (APE2) of the antenna pattern 133 is electrically connected to the second upper terminal pattern 137b and the second lower terminal pattern 136b through a via hole.
The first connection pattern 134 is formed on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The first connection pattern 134 is formed in the inner region of the loop formed by the antenna pattern 133 on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The first connection pattern 134 electrically connects the first end (RCE1) of the loop coil 120 to the third lower terminal pattern 136c.
A first end (CP1E1) of the first connection pattern 134 is electrically connected to the first end (RCE1) of the loop coil 120. The first end (CP1E1) of the first connection pattern 134 is disposed in the region overlapping the first end (RCE1) of the loop coil 120 on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The first end (CP1E1) of the first connection pattern 134 is electrically connected to the first end (RCE1) of the loop coil 120 through soldering.
For example, a part of the base sheet 131 is removed in the region in which the first end (CP1E1) of the first connection pattern 134 is disposed. The first end (CP1E1) of the first connection pattern 134 is exposed to the lower surface of the base sheet 131 through the region where the base sheet 131 is removed. By soldering the first end (RCE1) of the loop coil 120 with the first end (CP1E1) of the first connection pattern 134 exposed to the lower surface of the base sheet 131, the first connection pattern 134 is electrically connected to the first end (RCE1) of the loop coil 120.
A second end (CPE2) of the first connection pattern 134 is electrically connected to the third lower terminal pattern 136c. The second end (CPE2) of the first connection pattern 134 is disposed in the region overlapping the third lower terminal pattern 136c on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The second end (CPE2) of the first connection pattern 134 is electrically connected to the third lower terminal pattern 136c through a via hole.
For example, the second end (CPE2) of the first connection pattern 134 forms the overlapping region with the third lower terminal pattern 136c formed on the lower surface of the base sheet 131. The second end (CPE2) of the first connection pattern 134 is electrically connected to the third lower terminal pattern 136c through a via hole formed in the overlapping region.
The second connection pattern is formed to be spaced apart from the first connection pattern 134 on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The second connection pattern is formed in the inner region of the loop formed by the antenna pattern 133 on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The second connection pattern electrically connects the second end (RCE2) of the loop coil 120 to the fourth lower terminal pattern 136d.
A second end (CP2E1) of the second connection pattern is electrically connected to the second end (RCE2) of the loop coil 120. The second end (CP2E1) of the second connection pattern is disposed in the region overlapping the second end (RCE2) of the loop coil 120 on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The second end (CP2E1) of the second connection pattern is electrically connected to the second end (RCE2) of the loop coil 120 through soldering.
For example, a part of the base sheet 131 is removed in the region in which the second end (CP2E1) of the second connection pattern is disposed. The second end (CP2E1) of the second connection pattern is exposed to the lower surface of the base sheet 131 through the region in which the base sheet 131 is removed. By soldering the second end (RCE2) of the loop coil 120 with the second end (CP2E1) of the second connection pattern exposed to the lower surface of the base sheet 131, the second connection pattern is electrically connected to the second end (RCE2) of the loop coil 120.
The second end (CP2E2) of the second connection pattern is electrically connected to the fourth lower terminal pattern 136d. The second end (CP2E2) of the second connection pattern is disposed in the region overlapping the fourth lower terminal pattern 136d on the upper surface of the base sheet 131. The second end (CP2E2) of the second connection pattern is electrically connected to the fourth lower terminal pattern 136d through a via hole.
For example, the second end (CP2E2) of the second connection pattern forms the overlapping region with the fourth lower terminal pattern 136d formed on the lower surface of the base sheet 131. The second end (CP2E2) of the second connection pattern is electrically connected to the fourth lower terminal pattern 136d through a via hole formed in the overlapping region.
As described above, the combo antenna module 100 may decrease the area of the base sheet 131 (i.e., FPCB) for implementing the antenna pattern 133 by half, and implement the jumper of the loop coil 120 with the connection pattern formed on the base sheet 131, thereby minimizing the thickness of the combo antenna module 100.
At this time, the combo antenna module 100 may implement the jumper of the loop coil 120 in the pattern method, thereby causing the loss of some resistances but this is not the loss of the resistance of the size capable of actually affecting the antenna performance of the loop coil 120, such that the antenna performance of the loop coil 120 is not lowered.

The loop coil 220 is made of a conductive material, and formed in the loop shape in which the winding axe perpendicular to the upper surface of the magnetic sheet 210 is wound in plural times. At this time, the loop coil 220 is interposed between the magnetic sheet 210 and the antenna sheet 230.

Here, the base sheet 231 is not limited thereto, and may be variously used as long as it may be a thin film substrate and may form the antenna pattern 234 configuring the antenna.
The base sheet 231 is formed to have the area smaller than that of the magnetic sheet 210 and disposed on the upper surface of the magnetic sheet 210. The base sheet 231 is formed to have a half or less of the area of the magnetic sheet 210, and disposed on the upper surface of the magnetic sheet 210.

The terminal sheet 232 is the sheet on which terminal patterns are formed and formed to extend outward from one side, which is adjacent to the loop coil 220 and both ends of the antenna pattern 234 to be described later, of four sides the base sheet 231. Here, the terminal sheet 232 may be formed integrally with the base sheet 231, or formed separately therefrom, and then coupled to the base sheet 231.
The extension sheet 233 is formed to extend from the base sheet 231 toward the center of the loop coil 220. The extension sheet 233 is formed to extend from one side of the base sheet 231 to the direction in which the loop coil 220 is disposed (i.e., toward the center of the magnetic sheet 210).

A part of the antenna pattern 234, which is disposed in the region adjacent to the extension sheet 233, is removed to form a penetration region (TA) through which the first connection pattern 236 and the second connection pattern 237 pass. That is, the first connection pattern 236 and the second connection pattern 237 are disposed from the base sheet 231 to the extension sheet 233 and thus are in contact with the antenna pattern 234. If the antenna pattern 234 is in contact with the connection pattern, the antenna characteristics may be changed. Therefore, the antenna pattern 234 disposed in the region through which the first connection pattern 236 and the second connection pattern 237 pass is removed to form the penetration region (TA).
The bypass pattern 235 is formed on the lower surface of the base sheet 231. The bypass pattern 235 is electrically connected to the antenna pattern 234 removed from the penetration region (TA). One end of the bypass pattern 235 is connected to a first cut-out part (CP1) of the antenna pattern 234 disposed on the left side of the penetration region (TA) through a via hole, and the other end of the bypass pattern 235 is connected to a second cut-out part (CP2) of the antenna pattern 234 disposed on the right side of the penetration region (TA) through a via hole. Therefore, the bypass pattern 235 forms a rectangular loop together with the antenna pattern 234.

The first connection pattern 236 is disposed on the inner region of the rectangular loop formed by the antenna pattern 234 and the bypass pattern 235, the penetration region (TA), and the extension sheet 233 on the upper surface of the base sheet 231.
