Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 2020103711000 filed Apr. 30, 2020, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of antenna technology, and in particular to an integration module system of millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave antennas and an electronic apparatus.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the arrival of the 5G age, due to the requirements for higher-order multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) communications, the requirements for coverage of more new frequency bands, and even the addition of millimeter wave bands, a greater number of antennas (comprising millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave antennas) are required. Nevertheless, it results in higher difficulty in antenna design in the case where the space of a whole device cannot be significantly increased. Furthermore, the size of the whole device will be even increased due to the insufficiently compact antenna arrangement or design, resulting in a decline in product competitiveness. The 5G frequency bands are divided into millimeter wave bands and non-millimeter wave bands. At present, the mainstream antenna design scheme for non-millimeter wave bands is to have separate antennas, and the mainstream implementation types comprise stamped iron sheet, flexible printed circuit (FPC), laser direct structuring (LDS), printed direct structuring (PDS), etc.; and the current mainstream antenna design scheme for millimeter wave bands is the integrated antenna-in-package (AiP), that is, an antenna (or antennas) and a chip, especially a radio frequency chip, i.e., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC), are integrated into a packaged antenna module. As mentioned above, the number of antennas has been increased significantly in the 5G age, and thus a 5G device requires multiple separate 5G non-millimeter-wave antennas and several 5G millimeter-wave antenna modules (if the device can support millimeter wave band communications).


Therefore, in view of this, a Chinese patent CN201910760335.6 proposes a scheme of an integration module of millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave antennas; however, the technical contents disclosed in the independent claims of the patent are as follows: {circle around (1)} millimeter-wave antennas are dipole antennas; and {circle around (2)} a substrate comprises a floor, a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer, and the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer are respectively located on two sides of the floor; a radio frequency chip is provided on the first dielectric layer, and the radio frequency chip is connected to a feeding structure of N dipole antenna units; and a non-millimeter-wave antenna is provided on the second dielectric layer. Therefore, what is protected by this patent is that the radio frequency chip and the non-millimeter-wave antenna are parallel and provided on different layers.


In view of the above, it results in higher difficulty in antenna design or higher cost in the case where the space of a whole device cannot be significantly increased but there are requirements for communications which result in the need to accommodate more 5G (millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave) antennas. Furthermore, the size of the whole device will be even increased due to the insufficiently compact antenna arrangement or design, resulting in a decline in product competitiveness. The Chinese patent CN201910760335.6 proposes adding non-millimeter-wave antenna traces to a module so that millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave antennas are integrated on one module, but this design will occupy a larger area in a horizontal plane.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order to enable those ordinarily skilled in the art to be able to understand and implement the present invention, examples of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.


With reference made to FIGS. 1A to 11B, the present invention provides an integration module system of millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave antennas, which comprises a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 and a non-millimeter-wave environment 2, and the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 forms a communication connection with the non-millimeter-wave environment 2 for realizing reusing of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 to achieve a function of non-millimeter-wave antenna(s).


Example One

As shown in Example One and FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 in this example has (but is not limited to) a one-dimensional linear array formed by four millimeter-wave antennas 11, and the millimeter-wave antenna array 11a is mainly provided on a front long-side vertical face (i.e., on a front face) of a module carrier 12. On a rear long-side vertical face (i.e., on a back face) of the module carrier 12, a chip (comprising chip(s) like a radio frequency chip, i.e., a RFIC, or the former plus a power management IC, i.e., a PMIC, etc.), and/or associated electronic components, and/or a chip shielding facility (e.g., a shielding cover or a shielding layer), and/or a connecting base (connector or socket), etc. may be placed. A radio frequency path of the radio frequency chip is electrically connected to feeding ports of the millimeter-wave antennas 11.


The millimeter-wave antennas 11 may be in various antenna forms described above, and a size of each millimeter-wave antenna is preferably not greater than 2 equivalent guided wavelengths at its lowest operating frequency, and a spacing of the millimeter-wave antennas is preferably not greater than 2 free-space wavelengths at its lowest operating frequency. Two short-side vertical faces (or a part thereof) of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 in this example are conductive walls or conductive regions 12a, a non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can be fed into two side walls of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 through an electrical connection via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23, and/or a frequency tuning network), and these conductive walls or conductive regions 12a are electrically conductive to a conductive ground or a conductive structure (preferably a metal ground or a metal structure) in the module carrier 12. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 can have the function of (two) non-millimeter antennas 11, realizing an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced. In addition, in order to strengthen heat dissipation, an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be added to be connected to the shielding cover or shielding layer 12b of a chip region to conduct and remove heat from the chip region to the outside. The system setting diagrams of this integration module are shown as FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B.


In the example of the present invention, the non-millimeter-wave environment 2 comprising the non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21, the feeding line(s) 22 for the non-millimeter-wave antenna(s), and matching network(s) 23 (and/or frequency tuning network(s)) for non-millimeter-wave antenna(s) is preferably configured on a mainboard 24 of PCB, and through a combination of the mainboard 24 of PCB, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 and the non-millimeter-wave environment 2, an electronic apparatus that reuses the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 to achieve the function of non-millimeter-wave antenna(s) can be provided. At this time, a coverage region of the module carrier 12 of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 and its extension region on the mainboard 24 of PCB are set as a clearance region 24a of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 without copper plating, and the module carrier 12 is provided thereon with an electric connecting base 12c, which is electrically connected to the mainboard of the electronic apparatus.


Example Two

As shown in Example Two of FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the example differs from Example One in that: a back long-side vertical face (or a part thereof) of a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 in this example is a conductive wall or a conductive region 12a, a non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can be fed into this side wall of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 through an electrical connection via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23, and/or a frequency tuning network), and this conductive wall or conductive region 12a is electrically conductive to a conductive ground or a conductive structure (preferably a metal ground or a metal structure) in the module. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 can have the function of (two) non-millimeter antennas, realizing an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced. In addition, in order to strengthen heat dissipation, an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be added to be connected to a chip region's shielding cover or shielding layer 12b to conduct and remove heat from the chip region to the outside. The system setting diagram of this integration module is shown as FIG. 3.


Example Three

As shown in Example Three of FIG. 4, the differences between this example and Example Two are as follows: a non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can be fed into a shielding cover or shielding layer 12b of a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 and a connector 12d (which is a conductive part covering a connecting base 12c) in a snap-fit relationship with the connecting base 12c through an electrical connection via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23, and/or a frequency tuning network), and this shielding cover or shielding layer 12b and the connector 12d (which is a conductive part) on the connecting base 12c are electrically conductive to a conductive ground or a conductive structure (preferably a metal ground or a metal structure) in the module carrier 12. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 can have the function of (two) non-millimeter antennas, realizing an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced. In addition, in order to strengthen heat dissipation, an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be added to be connected to the shielding cover or shielding layer 12b of a chip region to conduct and remove heat from the chip region to the environment and system. The system setting diagram of this integration module is shown as FIG. 4.


Example Four

As shown in Example Four of FIG. 5, the differences between this example and Example One are as follows: a bottom surface (or a part thereof) of a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 in this example is a conductive wall or a conductive region (not shown in the figure), a non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can be fed into the bottom surface of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 through an electrical connection via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23), and this conductive wall or conductive region is electrically conductive to a metal ground or a metal structure in the module carrier 12. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 can have the function of (two) non-millimeter antennas, realizing an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced. In addition, in order to strengthen heat dissipation, an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be added to be connected to a chip region's shielding cover or shielding layer 12b to conduct and remove heat from the chip region to the outside.


Example Five

As shown in Example Five of FIG. 6, the difference between this example and Example One is that an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be placed significantly eccentrically to reach multiple antennas with different frequency coverage.


Example Six

As shown in Example Six of FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, the difference between this example and Example One is that a short-side vertical face (or a part thereof) of a millimeter-wave antenna module in this example is a conductive wall or a conductive region.


Example Seven

As shown in Example Seven of FIG. 8, the differences between this example and Example One are as follows: two short-side vertical faces (or a part thereof) of a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 in this example have conductive regions 12a, a non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can be fed into the conductive regions 12a of the two side walls of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 through an electrical connection mechanism (e.g., a spring 25) via an antenna feeding line 22 (and a matching network 23), and the conductive regions 12a are electrically conductive to a metal ground or a metal structure in the module carrier 12. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 can have the function of (multiple) non-millimeter antennas, and a clearance region on the antenna module's board can be eliminated, realizing an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced.


Example Eight

As shown in Example Eight of FIG. 9, the differences between this example and Example Two are as follows: a non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can feed energy into a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 by means of coupling (not an electrical connection) with a conductive wall or conductive region 12a of a side wall of the module via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23), a spacing between the antenna feeding line and the antenna module is preferably not greater than one free-space wavelength, and this conductive wall or conductive region 12a is electrically conductive to a metal ground or a metal structure in the module carrier 12. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module can have the function of (two) non-millimeter antennas, realizing an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced. In addition, in order to strengthen heat dissipation, an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be added to be connected to a chip region's shielding cover or shielding layer 12b to conduct and remove heat from the chip region to the outside.


Example Nine

As shown in Example Nine of FIG. 10, the differences between this example and Example One are as follows: a non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can feed energy into a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 by means of coupling (not an electrical connection) with a conductive wall or conductive region 12a of a side wall of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23), a spacing between the antenna feeding line and the antenna module is preferably not greater than one free-space wavelength, and this conductive wall or conductive region 12a is electrically conductive to a metal ground or a metal structure in the millimeter-wave antenna module 1. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 can have the function of (two) non-millimeter antennas, realizing an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced. In addition, in order to strengthen heat dissipation, an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be added to be connected to a chip region's shielding cover or shielding layer 12b to conduct and remove heat from the chip region to the outside.


Example Ten

As shown in Example Ten of FIG. 11, the differences between this example and Example Nine are as follows: one non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can feed energy into a millimeter-wave antenna module 1 by means of coupling (not an electrical connection) with a conductive wall or conductive region 12a of a side wall of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23), a spacing between the antenna feeding line and the antenna module is preferably not greater than one free-space wavelength, another non-millimeter-wave feeding source 21 can be fed into a conductive side wall or conductive region 12a of the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 through an electrical connection mechanism via an antenna feeding line 22 (with a matching network 23), and these conductive walls or conductive regions are electrically conductive to a metal ground or a metal structure in the module. In this way, the millimeter-wave antenna module 1 can have the function of (two) non-millimeter antennas, and because these two antennas are designed in different forms, these two antennas have higher isolation, which is beneficial to improvement in performance of a radio frequency link and radiation characteristics of wireless transmission, and besides, an integration module scheme that achieves a more spatially compact and functionally comprehensive design and hence can cover millimeter wave bands and (multiple) non-millimeter wave bands of 5G is realized without additionally adding space and cost and with the development difficulty reduced. In addition, in order to strengthen heat dissipation, an electrically conductive or thermally conductive material 3 may be added to be connected to a chip region's shielding cover or shielding layer 12b to conduct and remove heat from the chip region to the outside.
