Description

The multi-antenna communication device
Technical field
The present invention relates to radio communication device, particularly the radio communication device of many antennas.
Background technology
Traditional radio communication device uses the single antenna launching electromagnetic wave with transmission signals at transmitting terminal, and also uses single antenna to receive the signal that electromagnetic wave was carried at receiving terminal.Yet along with the evolution of the communication of algorithms and the progress of method for manufacturing integrated circuit, radio communication device no longer is confined to use single antenna as transmitting and receiving electromagnetic assembly.
(multi-input and multi-output, radio communication device MIMO) use a plurality of antennas as transmitting and receiving electromagnetic assembly to multiple-input and multiple-output.Because it has the characteristic of spatial diversity (spectral diversity), the radio communication device of multiple-input and multiple-output can be issued to higher propagated flux and transmission range far away in the condition of not sacrificing frequency range and power consumption.Owing to possess above-mentioned this advantage, the radio communication device of multiple-input and multiple-output becomes the radio communication device of main flow gradually.
In the design of radio communication device, operated by rotary motion one antenna assembly is in a radio frequency (radio frequency, RF) antenna part of circuit plate.The conventional radio frequency circuit evenly distributes for making earthed voltage, the main grounding through hole (global ground via) of all can the spacious position on circuit board establishing in a wide range.Fig. 1 shows the circuit-board laying-out mode of a traditional double antenna communicator.As shown in Figure 1, this double antenna communicator 100 comprises radio circuit circuit board 110, and wherein this radio circuit circuit board 110 comprises four-layer circuit board, and evenly a plurality of main grounding through hole 140 that runs through this four-layer circuit board 110 is set.This radio circuit circuit board 110 comprises one first antenna module 120 and one second antenna module 130 in addition.This first antenna module 120 is arranged at the antenna part of ground floor circuit board, and this second antenna module 130 then is arranged at the antenna part of four-layer circuit board.
Radio communication device requires to have higher radiation efficiency mostly, and in the radio communication device of multiple-input and multiple-output, the isolation between the antenna is the key factor that influences antenna radiation efficiency.Yet along with the consumer electronics trend light, thin, short, little to product requirement, various radio communication devices also dwindle gradually and make the distance of putting between the antenna shorten, so and then cause the isolation between the antenna to reduce.
Problem for the isolation that solves between the antenna reduces generally adds open circuited transmission line between the load point of two antennas, or the circuit board grooving between the load point of two antennas.Fig. 2 shows the double antenna communicator that is applied to Fig. 1 in the mode that adds open circuited transmission line between the point of antenna feed-in.As shown in Figure 2, this first antenna module 120 and this second antenna module 130 are arranged at the left and right sides of this radio circuit circuit board 110 respectively to increase isolation.This double antenna communicator 100 increases length again between the load point of described antenna be the open circuited transmission line of 100 launching electromagnetic wave 1/4 wavelength of this double antenna communicator, with the isolation between the further increase antenna.
Fig. 3 shows the double antenna communicator that is applied to Fig. 1 with the circuit board grooving between the antenna load point.As shown in Figure 3, this first antenna module 120 and this second antenna module 130 are arranged at the left and right sides of this radio circuit circuit board 110 respectively to increase isolation.This double antenna communicator 100 is these radio circuit circuit board 110 groovings between the load point of described antenna again, wherein the length of this grooving is about 100 launching electromagnetic wave 1/4 wavelength of this double antenna communicator, and this grooving position does not have surface component or cabling, with the isolation between the further increase antenna.
Yet the mode of isolation all increases extra board area or manufacturing step between above-mentioned two kinds of increase antennas.Therefore, when the undersized radio communication device of design, for example (Universal Serial Bus, when USB) installing, described mode promptly is difficult to be applied USB.
The end view of the double antenna communicator of Fig. 4 displayed map 1.As shown in Figure 4, current path between this first antenna module 120 and this second antenna module 130 is from the earth terminal of this first antenna module 120 via this first antenna module 120, be connected to the main grounding through hole 140 of second layer circuit board antenna portion, be connected to the main grounding through hole 140 of the 3rd layer circuit board antenna part, the earth terminal via this second antenna module 130 is connected to this second antenna module 130 again.As shown in Figure 4, so short current path causes the coupling effect between this first antenna module 120 and this second antenna module 130 excessive, and makes that isolation each other is low excessively.
In view of the above, be necessary to design a kind of novel circuit-board laying-out mode, it can improve isolation and antenna radiation efficiency between the antenna under the situation that does not increase board area.
Summary of the invention
