Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the functional block diagram of the antenna assembly of the adjustable frequency that the embodiment of the present invention provides.The antenna assembly 1 of adjustable frequency may be used for radio communication device, such as: mobile phone, flat computer etc.The antenna assembly 1 of adjustable frequency comprises antenna 11, control circuit 12, microcontroller (MCU) 13 and impedance matching circuit 14.Microcontroller 13 has serial peripheral interface (Serial Peripheral Interface, SPI), and microcontroller 13 is through serial peripheral interface connection control circuit 12.In the present embodiment, impedance matching circuit 14 coupling antenna 11 and impedance matching in order to adjust antenna 11.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the Control timing sequence figure of the serial peripheral interface that the embodiment of the present invention provides.Serial peripheral interface can comprise signal CS, SCLK, DIN etc.Signal SCLK represents sequence frequency (SerialClock).Signal CS represents enable signal, and signal CS is activation (Enable) when electronegative potential.Signal DIN represents the coded data (Data) exported.
Multiple with reference to Fig. 1, control circuit 12 has equiva lent impedance (as: equivalent capacitance value or equivalent inductance value).Control circuit 12 can have at least one electric capacity or at least one inductance.Microcontroller 13 makes antenna operation at the first frequency of operation f1 and the second frequency of operation f2 through control circuit 12, and the second frequency of operation f2 is higher than the first frequency of operation f1.Microcontroller 13 detects through control circuit 12 signal strength that antenna 11 receives.The equivalent impedance of the signal strength adjustment control circuit 12 that microcontroller 13 receives according to antenna 11, to change the first frequency of operation f1 of antenna 11.
In practice, antenna 11 may make frequency of operation change by external environmental impact.The signal strength that microcontroller 13 can receive according to system is to judge whether signal changes to some extent, changed if very likely the operating frequency of antenna is existing when signal strength diminishes, when microcontroller 13 finds that signal strength dies down, can export by microcontroller 13 frequency of operation that corresponding control signal changes antenna 11.
Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of the antenna assembly of the adjustable frequency that the embodiment of the present invention provides.The antenna assembly 1 of adjustable frequency arranges on the circuit board 10, circuit board 10 is arranged antenna 11, control circuit 12, microcontroller 13 and impedance matching circuit 14.Antenna 11 can modular setting on the circuit board 10.Impedance matching circuit 14 can reach best power transmission for the impedance adjusted between antenna and system.In the present embodiment, control circuit 12 can pass through transmission line with microcontroller 13 and is connected, described circuit is serial peripheral interface 131 specification (as three signals CS, SCLK, DIN that Fig. 2 discloses) meeting microcontroller 13, but therefore the present invention does not limit.Microcontroller 13 transmits digital coding signal (code) to control circuit 12, makes the frequency of its antenna 11 produce corresponding frequency change by the control of coding.
