In this embodiment, the selection control module 300 includes a first switch 301, a second switch 302, a first matching circuit 303, a second matching circuit 304, a third matching circuit 305, and a fourth matching circuit 306. The model of the first switch 301 is RF1628, and the model of the second switch 302 is RF 1117. Each matching circuit is used for fine tuning the resonance of the antenna so as to optimize the performance of the antenna; it is prior art and the specific circuit structure and operation principle thereof will not be described in detail here.
The 1 st pin of the first switch 301 (i.e. the transmission end d of the selection control module 300) is connected to the rf transmitting module, the 2 nd pin of the first switch 301 is connected to one end of the second matching circuit 304, the other end of the second matching circuit 304 (i.e. the second selection end b of the selection control module 300) is connected to the second feed point 102 of the antenna main body 100, the 3 rd pin of the first switch 301 is connected to one end of the first matching circuit 303, the other end of the first matching circuit 303 (i.e. the first selection end a of the selection control module 300) is connected to the first feed point 101 of the antenna main body 100, the 4 th pin of the first switch 301 is connected to one end of the third matching circuit 305, the control pin of the first switch 301 (i.e. the first control end e of the selection control module 300) is connected to the CPU 400, the 1 st pin of the second switch 302 (i.e. the third selection end c of the selection control module 300) is connected to the parasitic antenna 200, the 2 nd pin of the second switch 302 is connected to, the 3 rd pin of the second switch 302 is connected to one end of the fourth matching circuit 306, the other end of the fourth matching circuit 306 is grounded, and the control pin of the second switch 302 (i.e., the second control terminal f of the selection control module 300) is connected to the CPU 400. The radio frequency transceiver module is connected with the first switch, and the matching circuit is connected with the antenna through a radio frequency impedance line.
The present embodiment makes maximum use of the parasitic antenna 200. The parasitic antenna 200 is generally disposed near the antenna body 100, i.e., an antenna near the antenna body 100 is led out from the ground of the PCB board. The CPU 400 controls the switch to perform corresponding switching according to the current working frequency band, that is, the antenna body or the parasitic antenna is connected to the rf transceiver module 500, and resonance is generated by coupling, so that the frequency band of the antenna is adjusted to the required working frequency band, thereby expanding the bandwidth of the antenna. The connection state includes:
first connection state 1-3: 1-3. The previous 1-3 indicates the connection mode of the first switch 301, i.e. the 1 st pin and the 3 rd pin of the first switch 301 are connected. The latter 1-3 indicate the connection mode of the second switch 302, i.e. the 1 st pin and the 3 rd pin of the second switch 302 are connected. In this way, the first feed point 101 of the antenna body 100 is connected to the rf transceiver module 500 through the first matching circuit 303, and the parasitic antenna 200 is grounded through the fourth matching circuit 306. The return loss in this connected state is shown by the dashed line on the left of fig. 4. In fig. 4, the X-axis is frequency and the Y-axis is return loss, and the smaller the return loss value (i.e., near-40, with downward peaks appearing) the better the performance of the antenna. As can be seen from fig. 4, the antenna can cover lower frequency bands, such as band13 and band17 (or other ultra-low frequency bands, such as band12, can be covered by adjusting the matching circuit).
Second connection state 1-2: 1-3. 1-2 represent the connection of the first switch 301, i.e. the 1 st pin and the 2 nd pin of the first switch 301 are connected. 1-3 represent the connection of the second switch 302, i.e., the 1 st pin and the 3 rd pin of the second switch 302 are connected. In this way, the second feed point 102 of the antenna body 100 is connected to the rf transceiver module 500 through the second matching circuit 304, and the parasitic antenna 200 is grounded through the fourth matching circuit 306. The return loss in this connected state is shown by the solid line in fig. 4. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the antenna can cover both low frequencies (e.g., GSM850/GSM 900) and intermediate frequencies (e.g., DCS1800/PCS1900/WCDMA 2100).
Third connection state 1-4: 1-2. The 1 st pin of the first switch 301 is connected to the 4 th pin, and the 1 st pin of the second switch 302 is connected to the 2 nd pin. In this way, the parasitic antenna 200 is connected to the rf transceiver module 500 through the third matching circuit 305, and the antenna body 100 is not connected. The return loss in this connected state is shown by the dashed line on the right in fig. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, the antenna can cover high frequencies such as band38 and band40 (here, band40 is taken as an example, and for example, the antenna can be slightly adjusted to cover a higher frequency band41 or band 47). In this way, the parasitic antenna 200 is changed to the main antenna, and the original antenna body 100 does not function. The frequency band of the parasitic antenna 200 is adjusted to a required frequency band by adjusting the third matching circuit 305, so that the working bandwidth of the antenna is enlarged.
It should be understood that there may be other combinations of the connection states, and the above three types of connection states can satisfy the requirements of each frequency band, and are not described in detail herein. The antenna frequency band adjusting device is suitable for all communication equipment using an antenna (an antenna adopting an LTE technology), such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer and the like.
Based on the above antenna frequency band adjusting device, the present invention further provides an antenna frequency band adjusting method, as shown in fig. 5, the antenna frequency band adjusting method includes:
s100, searching and registering a network by a CPU (central processing unit) when the computer is started, default selecting a control module to be in a second connection state 1-2: 1-3, connecting the second feed point of the antenna main body with the radio frequency transceiving module.
In this step, the CPU performs full frequency scanning after being turned on, searches for a network that can be connected according to the information of the SIM card, and initiates a connection. Based on this time, the control module is selected to be in the second connection state 1-2: 1-3, namely the second feed point of the antenna main body is connected with the radio frequency transceiving module through a second matching circuit, and the parasitic antenna is grounded through a fourth matching circuit. The antenna can now cover both low frequencies (e.g. GSM850/GSM 900) and intermediate frequencies (e.g. DCS1800/PCS1900/WCDMA 2100), which are commonly used frequency bands.
S200, the CPU controls the connection state of the selection control module according to the current working frequency band, and selects to connect the parasitic antenna or the antenna main body with the radio frequency transceiving module through the selection control module.
Referring to fig. 6, the step S200 specifically includes:
s201, the CPU reads the working frequency band of the radio frequency transceiver module and judges whether the working frequency band is in a low frequency band or a medium frequency band. If so, then the current second connection state 1-2 is maintained: 1-3, continuing to execute the step S201, and continuing to judge whether the working frequency band is in the low-frequency or medium-frequency band; otherwise, step S202 is executed.
S202, searching a current available network and judging whether the working frequency range is in an ultra-low frequency range or a high frequency range: if the step S203 is performed in the ultra low frequency range, the step S204 is performed in the high frequency range.
S203, the CPU controls the selection control module to switch to a first connection state 1-3: 1-3, connecting the first feed point of the antenna main body with the radio frequency transceiving module. Thus, the antenna can cover the ultra-low frequency band after switching. And then, continuously searching the current available network, and judging whether the working frequency band is in a high-frequency range or a low-frequency or medium-frequency band. If the signal is in the high frequency range, the high frequency switching of step S500 is performed. If the frequency range is within the low-frequency or medium-frequency range, the selection control module is switched to a second connection state 1-2: 1-3, then executing step S202 to continue judging.
S204, the CPU controls the selection control module to switch to a third connection state 1-4: 1-2, connecting the parasitic antenna with the radio frequency transceiving module. Thus, the antenna can cover a high-frequency band after switching. And then, continuously searching the current available network and judging whether the working frequency band is in the ultra-low frequency range or the low-frequency or intermediate-frequency band. If the frequency is in the ultra low frequency range, the ultra low frequency switching of step S203 is performed. If the frequency range is within the low-frequency or medium-frequency range, the selection control module is switched to a second connection state 1-2: 1-3, then executing step S202 to continue judging.
Through the steps, the applicable frequency band of the working frequency band can be continuously judged and corresponding switching adjustment can be carried out, so that the coverage of the antenna can be automatically adjusted under different frequency bands, and the communication quality is ensured.
In summary, the antenna frequency band adjusting apparatus and method provided by the present invention add a feed point to the antenna main body, and combine the switching of the two switches to select to access different antennas to the radio frequency transceiver module, so as to change the working frequency band of the antenna, thereby enabling the antenna to cover different frequency bands; meanwhile, the parasitic antenna can also be used as a main antenna, so that the working frequency range of the antenna is greatly enlarged. Therefore, the antenna can work at ultralow frequency, low frequency, intermediate frequency and high frequency without changing the existing space, and the performance of the antenna can be improved.
