The present utility model provides a planar antenna for digital television, which is suitable for household digital television. In the embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in
The substrate is a plastic sheet, and the material thereof comprises PC, or PVC, or PET, or APET, or PP, or PU; and the corresponding wavelengths of the VHF band and the UHF band are respectively medium wavelengths.
When the lengths of the low-frequency radiation line 2 and the high-frequency radiation line 3 are both one quarter of the wavelength of the radio signal, the antenna has the highest emission and conversion efficiency. Under the condition of ensuring that the existing overall size of the antenna remains the same, by adding a low-frequency radiation line 2 on the substrate 1, and making the length of the high-frequency radiation line 3 being one quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the UHF frequency band, and making the length of the low-frequency radiation line 2 being one quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the VHF frequency band, as compared with achieving low-frequency reception by active amplifiers and telescopic antennas, the planar antenna for digital television of the present utility model realizes full-frequency reception of the planar antenna for digital television with a small size, enhances the capability of the digital planar antenna for receiving low-frequency, and optimizes the gain; and the antenna structure is integrated, the production efficiency is high, the consistency is good, and the cost is low.
Further, referring to both
In the present embodiment, two first radiation lines 21 arranged symmetrically and spaced apart are electrically connected with the signal line 41 and the ground line 42 of the coaxial cable, respectively, so as to feed the power. The low-frequency radiation line 2 is responsible for receiving the television program in the VHF frequency band, so that the planar antenna for digital television has a standing wave ratio of less than three in the VHF frequency band and a gain of 1 dbi.
Further, the first radiation line 21 comprises a connecting segment 211, a bending segment 212 and a curved segment 213 which are sequentially connected, and the connecting segments 211 of the two first radiation lines 21 extend in parallel, and a space between the two bending segments 212 is arranged to increase from the connecting segments 211 toward the curved segments.
In the present embodiment, the first radiation line 21 may be elongated. The space between the two bending segments 212 of the first radiation line 21 is arranged to increase from the connecting segments 211 toward the curved segments, so that the two first radiation lines 21 are substantially in a curved arrangement away from each other, which can optimize impedance matching and is more suitable for the size and shape of the substrate 1 and make the antenna as a whole more aesthetic.
Further, an angle between the two bending segments 212 of the two first radiation lines 21 ranges from 70° to 80°. In this range of angle, it is possible to optimize impedance matching, reduce the standing wave ratio, obtain higher gain, and make the size of the first radiation line 21 more reasonable while ensuring the above effects.
Further, referring to
Further, the connecting segment 211, the bending segment 212 and the curved segment are enclosed to form an accommodating space 214, and the high-frequency radiation line 3 comprises two second radiation lines 31 arranged symmetrically and spaced apart, each of the second radiation lines 31 being respectively connected to one of the connecting segments 211 and housed in the accommodating space 214.
In the present embodiment, the second radiation line 31 can be arranged in an elongated shape. It can be understood that since the length of the first radiation line 21 is longer than the length of the second radiation line 31, the second radiation line 31 is accommodated in the accommodating space 214 formed by the first radiation line 21, so that the entire line structure is more compact, thus the area of the substrate 1 is fully utilized, and the reception of full-frequency can be achieved by the planar antenna for digital television in a small size. Each of the second radiation lines 31 is connected to a connecting segment 211, thus the first radiation line 21 shares a same part of the line with the second radiation line 31, so that the line structure is more compact, the antenna is integrated, and the consistency is good without affecting the performance during the use.
Further, the angle between the two second radiation lines 31 ranges from 100° to 110°. In this range of angle, it is possible to optimize impedance matching, reduce the standing wave ratio, obtain higher gain, and make the size of the first radiation line 21 more reasonable while ensuring the above effects. The two second radiation lines 31 are responsible for receiving television programs in the UHF frequency band, such that the planar antenna for digital television has a standing wave ratio of less than two in the UHF frequency band and a gain of 5 dBi.
Moreover, the high-frequency radiation line 3 further comprises two third radiation lines 32 arranged symmetrically and spaced apart, and the third radiation lines 32 are arranged in a triangle shape; the two third radiation lines 32 are connected to the two second radiation lines 31 respectively; and one of the third radiation lines 32 is electrically connected to the signal line 41 of the coaxial cable, and the other of the third radiation lines 32 is electrically connected to the ground line 42 of the coaxial cable.
In the present embodiment, the two third radiation lines 32 arranged in a triangle shape and symmetrically arranged can expand the bandwidth, so that the high-frequency radiation line 3 obtains a higher gain, thereby improving the receiving effect of the antenna.
Two power-feeding points are respectively disposed on the two third radiation lines 32, and are respectively connected with the signal line 41 and the ground line 42 of the coaxial cable to realize power-feeding. In an embodiment, as shown in
Further, the two third radiation lines 32 are formed by coating with the conductive silver paste. Of course, the first radiation line 21 and the second radiation line 31 can also be formed by coating with the conductive silver paste. During manufacturing, the radiation lines can be meshed or not meshed, achieving the same receiving effect of the antenna. In other embodiments, the high-frequency radiation line 3 and the low-frequency radiation line 2 can also be formed of copper foil, aluminum foil, or the like.
Further, referring to
Among the above, VHF is the abbreviation of Very High Frequency, which refers to radio waves with a frequency band from 30 Mhz to 300 MHz and a wavelength of 1 m˜10 m; UHF is the abbreviation of Ultra High Frequency, which refers to radio waves with a frequency of 300˜3000 MHz and a wavelength of 1 m˜1 dm.
The frequency range of the VHF in this embodiment is FM (88-108 MHz), HI_VHF (174-230 MHz). Based on the above implementation, the present embodiment can arrange the curved segment of the low-frequency radiation line 2 in a zigzag shape, as shown in
Alternatively, the curved segment of the low-frequency radiation line 2 may be arranged in a serpentine shape, as shown in
