Description
BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field


The present disclosure relates to an antenna, in particular, to a hybrid multi-antenna system and a wireless communication apparatus using the same.


2. Description of Related Art


Now, the communication technology develops rapidly and maturely, and thus people usually use the wireless communication apparatuses to surf the internet and communicate by telephone. Regardless of kinds of wireless communication apparatuses, the wireless communication apparatuses need antennas to receive and transmit the wireless signals at specific frequencies. For example, the indoor and outdoor access points (AP) having antennas are the bridges of the wireless communication apparatuses.


In general, the patch antennas or microstrip antennas have been widely used in outdoor AP due to their characteristics of high directivity and antenna gain.


Some related publications have disclosed the dual-polarized antenna array having a feed-in network and multiple antenna units. The feed-in network of the dual-polarized antenna is used to generate the phase difference of the feed-in signals, such that the dual-polarized radiation pattern can be obtained in the space. Meanwhile, since the multiple antenna units are arranged on the same reflector by the array arrangement, the directivity and gain of the radiation pattern of the dual-polarized antenna can obviously be improved.


However, the aforementioned dual-polarized antenna needs the complex feed-in network and the multiple antenna units to enhance the directivity and antenna gain. In addition, the resonant length of the patch antenna or microstrip antenna is about the half wavelength of the specific frequency. Therefore, owing to its large dimension, the dual-polarized antenna is not suitable for the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multi-antenna communication system.


Regarding each of the multiple antenna units, to decrease the used space of the antenna system, the receiving and transmitting antennas must be arranged compactly. However, due to that the antennas are arranged compactly, the signals received or transmitted by the antennas are mutual coupled when each of the antennas operates in the same or similar band, such that it has the problem of the co-channel interference for the antenna reception. In addition, due to mutual coupling of signals, the system throughput is thus decreased. Taking two parallel dipole antennas as an example, the distance between the two dipole antennas is usually larger than 0.65 wavelength of the operating frequency (i.e. the operating frequency is the specific frequency of the wireless signal), such that the interference of the two dipole antennas is decreased, and the antenna isolation is guaranteed to be less than −15 decibel (dB). However, since the distances between the antennas in the multi-antenna system are limited, the overall dimension of the multi-antenna system is very large, and is unable to be integrated in the thin, light, and small wireless communication apparatus.


Since the strobe feed-in manner is usually used in the patch antenna or microstrip antenna, the location of the feed-in end of the antenna must match the location of the radio signal output end on the system circuit board, and this means that the other antenna is unable to match the same system circuit board.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

[Exemplary Embodiment of Hybrid Multi-Antenna System]


Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a three-dimensional structure of a hybrid multi-antenna system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The hybrid multi-antenna system 1 comprises a dipole antenna 11, a monopole-slot antenna 12, an antenna substrate 13, and a system circuit board 14. The system circuit board 14 has a system ground plate 141, and the system ground plate 141 is a conductive material. The antenna substrate 13 is located on the system circuit board 14. The system ground plate 141 is served as a reflector of the hybrid multi-antenna system 1. Since the system ground plate 141 is the reflector of the hybrid multi-antenna system, the area of the system ground plate 141 must cover the overall vertical projected area of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12. The dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 may be printed on antenna substrate 13.


The antenna substrate 13 of the hybrid multi-antenna system 1 is located on the system circuit board 14 (system ground plate 141) of the wireless communication apparatus, and the system ground plate 141 and the antenna substrate 13 have a distance therebetween. It means that the antenna substrate 13 and the system circuit board 14 are two independent structures. The system ground plate 141 of the system circuit board 14 is served as the reflector of the hybrid multi-antenna system 1, such that the antenna radiation energy is focused on the normal direction of the antenna substrate 13, and the hybrid multi-antenna system 1 thus has the high directivity and the high antenna gain. Accordingly, the wireless signal transmission distance can be improved by using this multi-antenna system 1.


In the exemplary embodiment, the distance between the top surface of the system ground plate 141 and the bottom surface the antenna substrate 13 is 6.4 millimeters. The system ground plate 141 may be a polygonal, circular, or elliptical metal plate, and the top surface of the system ground plate 141 and the bottom surface of the antenna substrate 13 are separated by air. In addition, the system circuit board 14 and the antenna substrate 13 may be the FR4 substrates having the thickness of 1.6 millimeters. Therefore, the distance between the top surface of the system circuit board 14 and the top surface of antenna substrate 13 is 8 millimeters. It is noted that the mentioned distance between each elements, the mentioned material of the substrates, and the mentioned shape and material of the system ground plate 141 are intended to illustrate one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, but not to limit the present disclosure.


The dipole antenna 11 provides a first operating band, and has a first signal feed-in source 110. The monopole-slot antenna 12 provides a second operating band, and has a second signal feed-in source 120. The dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 are located on the top surface of the antenna substrate 13, and the first signal feed-in source 110 and the second signal feed-in source 120 are vertical to each other, and have a phase difference of 90°. The monopole-slot antenna 12 is located nearby the dipole antenna 11, and the monopole-slot antenna 12 and the dipole antenna 11 have a small distance therebetween.


The dipole antenna 11 further has two radiating units 111 and 112, and the first signal feed-in source 110 has two first signal feed-in points 110a and 110b, wherein the two first signal feed-in points 110a and 110b of the first signal feed-in source 110 are respectively located on the two opposite sides of the radiating units 111 and 112. The two ends of first signal feed-in source 110 (i.e. the first signal feed-in points 110a and 110b) are respectively electrically connected to the radiating units 111 and 112. The radiating units 111 and 112 extend to two opposite directions, and a summation length of the first and second radiating units 111 and 112 is about half wavelength of a central frequency of the first operating band.


The monopole-slot antenna 12 has a second signal feed-in source 120, a radiating conductor sheet 121, and a slot 122, wherein the second signal feed-in source 120 has two second signal feed-in points 120a and 120b, wherein the second signal feed-in points 120a and 120b are respectively located on two opposite long sides of the slot 122 (i.e. the first and second long sides mentioned later). The radiating conductor sheet 121 for example is a radiating metal sheet, and the radiating conductor sheet 121 has a firs side (nearby the radiating unit 112 and vertically symmetrical to the symmetric center line SYM_LINE) and a second side, wherein the second side is opposite to the first side. The slot 122 has an open-end, a first long side, and a second long side, wherein the first long side is opposite to the second long side, and the open-end of the slot 122 is located on the second side of the radiating conductor sheet 121. A length of the slot 122 (i.e. the length of the first or second long side) is about 0.25 wavelength of a central frequency of the second operating band. The length of the slot 122 is larger than the width of the open-end of the slot 122. The two ends of the second signal feed-in source (i.e. the second signal feed-in points 120a and 120b) are respectively electrically connected to the first and second long sides.


In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1, to make the first signal feed-in source 110 and the second signal feed-in source 120 be vertical to each other, a connection direction of the first signal feed-in points 120a and 120b is vertical to a connection direction of the second signal feed-in points 120a and 120b.


Furthermore, the dipole antenna 11 is an electrical-current excited antenna, and the monopole-slot antenna 12 is a magnetic-current excited antenna. When the first signal feed-in source 110 of the dipole antenna 11 and the second signal feed-in source 120 of the monopole-slot antenna 12 are vertical to each other, and have the phase difference of 90°, the radiating polarizations of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 in space are orthogonal to each other, such that mutual coupling effect of the two neighboring antennas can be reduced, and the problem of poor isolation due to the small distance between the antennas is also solved. In other words, if the dipole antenna 11 is rotated with the angle of 90° (i.e. the two opposite extension directions are rotated with the angle of 90°), the hybrid multi-antenna system 1 may not have good performance as mentioned above. In this exemplary embodiment, the distance between the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 of the hybrid multi-antenna system 1 may be reduced to 2 millimeters, and the isolation of the hybrid multi-antenna system 1 may be under −20 dB. By contrast, to obtain a better isolation, the two dipole antenna of the conventional multi-antenna system must have a large distance therebetween.


In addition, to obtain better isolation, the relative locations of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 are arranged as follows. The dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 are substantially symmetrical to the symmetric center line SYM_LINE of the antenna substrate 13, and the center points of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 are substantially arranged on a same axis. However the relative locations of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 mentioned above are not used to limit the present disclosure.


In other exemplary embodiments, the center points of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 may be substantially arranged on the same axis, but not substantially symmetrical to the symmetric center line SYM_LINE of the antenna substrate 13. In other exemplary embodiments, the center points of the dipole antenna 11 and monopole-slot antenna 12 may not substantially arranged on the same axis, and may substantially symmetrical to the symmetric center line SYM_LINE of the antenna substrate 13, either.


In short, the arrangement locations of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 are not limited thereto. When the first signal feed-in source 110 of the dipole antenna 11 and the second signal feed-in source 120 of the monopole-slot antenna 12 are vertical to each other, the hybrid multi-antenna system 1 can obtain good isolation.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, FIG. 2 is a top view diagram of a hybrid multi-antenna system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a detailed top view diagram of a dipole antenna and a monopole-slot antenna of a hybrid multi-antenna system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 2, a length and a width of the antenna substrate 13 are respectively equal to a length and a width of the system circuit board 14, and the length and the width of the antenna substrate 13 are respectively 110 millimeters and 70 millimeters. The summation length of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 is 27 millimeters, and the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 locate on the center of the antenna substrate 13. In other words, the distance between the second side of the monopole-slot antenna 12 and the bottom side the antenna substrate 13 is 41.5 millimeters, and the distance between the top side of the radiating unit 111 and the top side of the antenna substrate 13 is also 41.5 millimeters.


In FIG. 3, lengths of the radiating units 111 and 112 are 6.25 millimeters, and the distance between the radiating units 111 and 112 is 2 millimeters. The distance between the first side of the monopole-slot antenna 12 and the radiating unit 112 is 2 millimeters, and the width of the open-end of the slot 122 is also 2 millimeters. The width of the radiating conductor sheet 121 is 10.5 millimeters, and the length of the radiating conductor sheet 121 is 12.5 millimeters. The distance between the first side of the monopole-slot antenna 12 and the slot 122 is 1 millimeter. The length of the slot 122 is 9.5 millimeters, and the distance between the central point of the second signal feed-in source 120 and the slot is 4.5 millimeters. The distances, widths, and lengths mentioned in FIGS. 2 and 3 are just used to illustrate one exemplary embodiment, but not used to limit the present disclosure.

As mentioned above, the radiating polarizations of the dipole antenna 11 and the monopole-slot antenna 12 in space are orthogonal to each other, such that mutual coupling effect of the two neighboring antennas is reduced.

The curve C62 presents the S parameter S11 (ratio of the input signal of the first port and the reflected signal of the first port). The curve C63 presents the S parameter S21 (ratio of the input signal of the first port and the received signal of the second port). From FIG. 6, it is known that the hybrid multi-antenna system 1 in FIG. 1 can be operated in 5 GHz band, and in particular, in 5.15 GHz through 5.825 GHz band.

However, it is noted that the shape of the radiating units of the dipole antenna are not used to limit the present disclosure, and the shapes of the two radiating units of the dipole antenna may be different from each other.

In the following exemplary embodiment, the first signal feed-in source of dipole antenna and the second signal feed-in source of the monopole-slot antenna are still vertical to each other, and still have a phase difference of 90°.


Referring to FIGS. 11A and 11B, FIGS. 11A and 11B are schematic diagrams showing three-dimensional structures of hybrid multi-antenna systems according to other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
