Background technology
Along with the high development of semiconductor technology, current electronic system integrated level has been proposed increasingly high requirement, miniaturization of devices becomes the technical problem that whole industry is paid special attention to.Yet, be different from the development that the IC chip is followed " Moore's Law ", as other important composition---the radio-frequency module of electronic system, but be faced with the highly difficult technological challenge of device miniaturization.Radio-frequency module has mainly comprised main devices such as mixing, power amplifier, filtering, radio signal transmission, matching network and antenna.Wherein, antenna is as the radiating element and the receiving device of final radiofrequency signal, and its operating characteristic will directly influence the service behaviour of whole electronic system.Yet important indicators such as the size of antenna, bandwidth, gain, radiation efficiency have but received the restriction (gain margin under the fixed dimension, bandwidth limit etc.) of basic physical principle.The basic principle of these index limit makes the miniaturization technology difficulty of antenna considerably beyond other device, and because the complexity of the electromagnetic field analysis of radio-frequency devices, approaching these limiting values all becomes huge technological challenge.
