Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and more particularly, to an omnidirectional antenna and an electronic device.


BACKGROUND

An omnidirectional antenna refers to a kind of antenna capable of realizing 360° uniform radiation in a horizontal plane. This kind of antenna is widely used in a base station antenna in mobile communication. For example, the omnidirectional antenna can be used to achieve a wide range of coverage in suburban and rural areas where the density of mobile users is relatively low. In addition, the omnidirectional antenna is also widely used for signal detection and interference in security and military fields.


The omnidirectional antenna in the related art usually includes a necked copper pipe and a rectangular right-angle routing arranged in the necked copper pipe, this kind of antenna mainly has the defects of low spiral efficiency, insufficient structure strength of the necked copper pipe, high cost and the like, and the rectangular right-angle routing solution is generally complex in routing and requires high processing accuracy and speed.


Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved omnidirectional antenna to solve the problems above.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skills in the art without going through any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.


With reference to FIG. 1, the present disclosure provides an omnidirectional antenna 100, which can be applied to a router, a switch and other electronic devices. The omnidirectional antenna 100 includes an insulating housing 1, a dielectric substrate 2 arranged in the insulating housing 1, a first metal sheet 3 and a second metal sheet 4 that are printed on a surface of the dielectric substrate 2. The omnidirectional antenna 100 can be fixed to the electronic device through the insulating housing 1.


The dielectric substrate 2 is rectangular, and certainly, the dielectric substrate 1 is not limited to the rectangular shape, so as to be applied to various shapes of insulating housing.


The first metal sheet 3 is rectangular, and the second metal sheet 4 is in a strip shape with one wide end and one narrow end. The first metal sheet 3 and the second metal sheet 4 are arranged in a coaxial manner and spaced one another, and the wide end of the second metal sheet 4 is close to the first metal sheet 3. The first metal sheet 3 and the second metal sheet 4 are printed on the same surface of the dielectric substrate 2, and will not occupy an additional space, so that the omnidirectional antenna has a smaller volume and a more compact structure. Moreover, the first metal sheet 3 and the second metal sheet 4 have large areas and regular shapes, and thus have low requirements on processing accuracy, and are easy to process.


The second metal sheet 4 includes a first rectangular portion 41 and a second rectangular portion 42 extending from one end of the first rectangular portion 41 towards a direction away from the first metal sheet 41, the first rectangular portion 41 is coaxially arranged with the second rectangular portion 42, and a width of the first rectangular portion 41 is the same as that of the first metal sheet 3.


Further, the width of the first rectangular portion 41 is greater than that of the second rectangular portion 42, and a length of the first rectangular portion 41 is the same as that of the second rectangular portion 42.


Further, a length of the first metal sheet 3 is the same as that of the second metal sheet 4.


A space between the first metal sheet 3 and the second metal sheet 4 is not specifically limited, and shapes of the first metal sheet 3 and the second metal sheet 4 and the space between the first metal sheet 3 and the second metal sheet 4 can be appropriately adjusted to meet the resonance requirements.


The omnidirectional antenna operates in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz and 5.15 GHz to 5.85 GHz.


With reference to FIG. 2, the omnidirectional antenna provided by the present disclosure has a very wide working bandwidth, a reflection coefficient S11 is subject to −10 dB, and when 2.45 GHz is used as a center point, the bandwidth can reach 1 GHz; and when 5.5 GHz is used as a center, the bandwidth can reach 2.5 GHz. With reference to FIG. 3, it can be seen that an antenna efficiency of the omnidirectional antenna generally ranges from −1.1 dB to −3 dB in the frequency band above, which can meet the actual needs.



FIG. 4 is a direction diagram of the omnidirectional antenna provided by the present disclosure at 2.45 GHz, and it can be clearly seen from the drawing that a radiation direction is in an apple shape, which can cover the surrounding at 360°, and the gain can reach 2.17 dB.



FIG. 5 is a direction diagram of the omnidirectional antenna provided by the present disclosure at 5.5 GHz, and it can be clearly seen from the drawing that a radiation direction is in an apple shape, which can cover the surrounding at 360°, and the gain can reach 3.17 dB.


Compared with the related art, the omnidirectional antenna and the electronic device provided by the present disclosure have the following beneficial effects of:


1. small volume, regular and continuous structure, and easy processing;


2. large bandwidth, capable of supporting frequency bands of 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz and 5.15 GHz to 5.85 GHz; and


3. low requirements on processing accuracy, which is easy to adapt to various shapes of insulating housings.
