In other embodiments, the mobile Device 100 is implemented in a Deformable Device (Deformable Device) that can switch between a Tablet Mode (Tablet Mode) and a Notebook Mode (Notebook Mode).
The metal back cover 110 has a Slot (Slot)120, wherein the Slot 120 may be a substantially straight strip-shaped opening or a rectangular opening. In detail, the Slot 120 is a Closed Slot (Closed Slot) having two Closed ends (Closed ends) 121, 122 away from each other. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the Slot 120 may be a Monopole Slot (Open Slot) having an Open End and a closed End that are away from each other. If the mobile device 100 is implemented in a notebook computer or a deformable device, an edge 111 of the metal back cover 110 may be adjacent to a Hinge assembly (not shown) of the notebook computer or the deformable device. For example, the spacing between the edge 111 of the metal back cover 110 and the hinge member may be less than 10 mm.
The feeding radiation part 130 can be made of metal material, such as: copper, silver, aluminum, iron, or alloys thereof. The dielectric substrate 170 may be an FR4 (film resistor 4) substrate, a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), or a Flexible Circuit Board (FCB). The dielectric substrate 170 may have a first surface E1 and a second surface E2 opposite to each other, wherein the feeding radiating element 130 and the grounding metal element 180 are disposed on the first surface E1 of the dielectric substrate 170, and the second surface E2 of the dielectric substrate 170 may be close to or directly attached to the metal back cover 110 (adjacent to the slot 120), such that the dielectric substrate 170 almost completely covers the slot 120 of the metal back cover 110. It should be noted that the term "adjacent" or "adjacent" in this specification may refer to a distance between two corresponding elements being less than a predetermined distance (e.g., 5mm or less), and may also include the case where two corresponding elements are in direct contact with each other (i.e., the distance is shortened to 0).
The grounding metal portion 180 is coupled to the metal back cover 110, and both of them can provide a Ground Voltage (Ground Voltage) of the mobile device 100. For example, the grounding metal portion 180 may be a grounding Copper Foil (Ground Copper Foil), which may extend from the dielectric substrate 170 to the metal back cover 110. The feeding radiating portion 130 has a feeding point FP, which is coupled to a Positive Electrode (Positive Electrode) of a Signal Source (not shown), and a Negative Electrode (Negative Electrode) of the Signal Source is coupled to the grounding metal portion 180. For example, the signal source may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, which can be used to generate a transmission signal or process a reception signal. In some embodiments, the positive pole of the signal source is coupled to the feed point FP through a center wire of a Coaxial Cable (Coaxial Cable), and the negative pole of the signal source is coupled to the grounding metal portion 180 through a conductive shell of the Coaxial Cable. The feeding radiating part 130 extends across the slot 120 of the metal back cover 110. That is, the Vertical Projection (Vertical Projection) of the feeding radiating portion 130 (including the first feeding branch 140, the second feeding branch 150, and the third feeding branch 160) on the metal back cover 110 at least partially overlaps the slot 120.
In detail, the Feeding radiating portion 130 includes a first Feeding Branch (Feeding Branch)140, a second Feeding Branch 150, and a third Feeding Branch 160. The combination of the first feeding branch 140, the second feeding branch 150, and the third feeding branch 160 may include a Y-shaped connection portion surrounding the feeding point FP. The first feeding branch 140 has a first Polygon (Polygon) which may substantially present a rectangle or an L-shape. One End of the first feeding branch 140 is coupled to the feeding point FP, and the other End of the first feeding branch 140 is an Open End (Open End) 141. The first polygon of the first feeding branch 140 has at least a Long Axis (Long Axis) and a Short Axis (Short Axis), wherein the Long Axis of the first polygon extends along a first direction, for example: and + X-axis direction. For example, the major axis of the first polygon may be a first virtual straight line passing through the open end 141 and parallel to the + X axis. The second feeding branch 150 has a second polygon, which may substantially present a rectangle or an L-shape. One end of the second feeding branch 150 is coupled to the feeding point FP, and the other end of the second feeding branch 150 is an open end 151. The second polygon of the second feeding branch 150 has at least a long axis and a short axis, wherein the long axis of the second polygon extends along a second direction, for example: -X-axis direction. For example, the major axis of the second polygon may be a second virtual straight line passing through the open end 151 and parallel to the-X axis. In other words, the second direction may be opposite to the first direction, such that the first feeding branch 140 and the second feeding branch 150 may extend in substantially opposite directions. For example, the open end 141 of the first feeding branch 140 may extend toward the + X axis, and the open end 151 of the second feeding branch 150 may extend toward the-X axis. The third feeding branch 160 may have a third polygon, which may substantially present a rectangle or an L-shape. One end of the third feeding branch 160 is coupled to the feeding point FP, and the other end of the third feeding branch 160 is an open end 161. The third polygon of the third feeding branch 160 at least has a major axis and a minor axis, wherein the major axis of the third polygon also extends along the first direction, for example: and + X-axis direction. For example, the major axis of the third polygon may be a third virtual straight line passing through the open end 161 and parallel to the + X axis. In other words, the first feeding branch 140 and the third feeding branch 160 may extend in substantially the same direction. For example, the open end 141 of the first feeding branch 140 may extend toward the + X axis, and the open end 161 of the third feeding branch 160 may also extend toward the + X axis. Each of the first feeding branch 140, the second feeding branch 150, and the third feeding branch 160 is at least partially parallel to the slot 120 of the metal back cover 110. In some embodiments, a long axis of the slot 120 (passing through the two closed ends 121, 122) is parallel to the long axis of the first feeding branch 140, the long axis of the second feeding branch 150, and the long axis of the third feeding branch 160. In addition, a first Coupling Gap GC1 may be formed between the first feeding branch 140 and the third feeding branch 160, and a second Coupling Gap GC2 may be formed between the second feeding branch 150 and the grounding metal portion 180. In the preferred embodiment, the metal back cover 110, the slot 120, and the feeding radiating portion 130 together form an Antenna Structure (Antenna Structure).
Fig. 2 shows a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) diagram of an antenna structure of the mobile device 100 according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein the horizontal axis represents an operating frequency (MHz) and the vertical axis represents the VSWR. According to the measurement results shown in fig. 2, the antenna structure of the mobile device 100 can cover a first frequency band FB1 and a second frequency band FB2 when receiving or transmitting wireless signals, wherein the first frequency band FB1 can be approximately between 2400MHz and 2500MHz, and the second frequency band FB2 can be approximately between 5150MHz and 5875 MHz. Thus, the antenna structure of the mobile device 100 can support at least 2.4GHz/5GHz broadband operation for Bluetooth and WLAN (Wireless Local Area network). According to the practical measurement results, the Antenna Efficiency (Antenna Efficiency) of the Antenna structure of the mobile device 100 in the first frequency band FB1 can reach about-3.78 dB, and the Antenna Efficiency in the second frequency band FB2 can reach about-3.95 dB (which is about 2 to 4dB higher than the Antenna Efficiency of the conventional slot Antenna), which can meet the practical application requirements of the general mobile communication device.
In some embodiments, the principles of operation of the antenna structure of the mobile device 100 may be as follows. The first feeding branch 140 and the slot 120 of the metal back cover 110 are used for exciting and generating the aforementioned first frequency band FB 1. The second feeding branch 150 is used for exciting and generating the aforementioned second frequency band FB 2. The third feeding branch 160 can also be coupled and excited by the first feeding branch 140 to simultaneously increase the Radiation Efficiency (Radiation Efficiency) and the operating Bandwidth (Operation Bandwidth) of the first frequency band FB1 and the second frequency band FB 2. Since the feeding radiating portion 130 has a Meandering Shape (e.g., three feeding branches), the overall area of the antenna structure of the mobile device 100 can be greatly reduced.
In some embodiments, the dimensions of the elements of the mobile device 100 may be as follows. The length of the slot 120 (i.e., the length from the closed end 121 to the other closed end 122) may be substantially equal to 0.5 times the wavelength (λ/2) of the center Frequency (Central Frequency) of the first Frequency band FB 1. The length of the first feeding branch 140 (i.e., the length from the feeding point FP to the open end 141) may be substantially equal to 0.25 times the wavelength (λ/4) of the center frequency of the first frequency band FB 1. The length of the second feeding branch 150 (i.e., the length from the feeding point FP to the open end 151) may be substantially equal to 0.25 times the wavelength (λ/4) of the center frequency of the second frequency band FB 2. The length of the third feeding branch 160 (i.e., the length from the feeding point FP to the open end 161) may be between 0.125 and 0.25 wavelengths (λ/8- λ/4) of the center frequency of the first frequency band FB 1. In order to enhance the coupling effect between the elements, the width of the first coupling gap GC1 can be smaller than or equal to the width W1 of the slot 120, and the width of the second coupling gap GC2 can also be smaller than or equal to the width W1 of the slot 120. The above element size range is found from a plurality of experimental results, which is helpful for optimizing the operating band and Impedance Matching (Impedance Matching) of the antenna structure of the mobile device 100.
It should be understood that the shape of the above feeding radiating portion 130 can be finely adjusted according to different requirements. For example, the Y-shaped connection portion (i.e., the vicinity of the feed point FP) between the first feeding branch 140, the second feeding branch 150 and the third feeding branch 160 can be modified to a smoother shape to remove the discontinuous saw-tooth edges, but the effect of the present invention is not affected. The following embodiments will describe different configurations of the proposed antenna structure, but the figures and the description thereof are only illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 3 shows a top view of a mobile device 300 according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 3 is similar to fig. 1A. In the embodiment of fig. 3, a feeding radiating portion 330 of the mobile device 300 includes a first feeding branch 340, a second feeding branch 350, and a third feeding branch 360, wherein the third feeding branch 360 further includes an end bending portion 365, such that an open end 361 of the third feeding branch 360 is closer to an open end 341 of the first feeding branch 340. The terminal bent portion 365 may be substantially perpendicular to the rest of the third feeding branch 360. The third feeding branch 360 (i.e., the third polygon) having the terminal bent portion 365 may substantially have a U-shape. The addition of the terminal bent portion 365 can reduce the equivalent width of the first coupling gap GC1 between the first feeding branch 340 and the third feeding branch 360 to enhance the coupling effect between the first feeding branch 340 and the third feeding branch 360. With this design, the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure of the mobile device 300 in the first frequency band FB1 can be further improved. The remaining features of the mobile device 300 of fig. 3 are similar to those of the mobile device 100 of fig. 1A and 1B, so that similar operations can be achieved in both embodiments.
Fig. 4 shows a top view of a mobile device 400 according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 4 is similar to fig. 3. In the embodiment of fig. 4, a second feeding branch 450 of a feeding radiating part 430 of the mobile device 400 further includes an end bent portion 455, such that an open end 451 of the second feeding branch 450 is closer to the grounding metal part 180. Terminal bent portion 455 may be substantially perpendicular to the rest of second feeding branch 450. The second feeding branch 450 (i.e., the second polygon) having the terminal bent portion 455 may substantially have an L-shape. The addition of the terminal bent portion 455 can reduce the equivalent width of the second coupling gap GC2 between the second feeding branch 450 and the grounding metal part 180, so as to fine-tune the impedance matching between the second feeding branch 450 and the grounding metal part 180. With this design, the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure of the mobile device 400 in the second frequency band FB2 can be further improved. The remaining features of the mobile device 400 of fig. 4 are similar to those of the mobile device 300 of fig. 3, so that similar operations can be achieved in both embodiments.
Fig. 5 shows a top view of a mobile device 500 according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 5 is similar to fig. 1A. In the embodiment of fig. 5, a feeding radiation portion 530 of the mobile device 500 includes a first feeding branch 540, a second feeding branch 550, and a third feeding branch 560, wherein a width W2 of the first feeding branch 540 is significantly increased (e.g., the width W2 of fig. 5 may be about twice as large as the width W2 of fig. 1A), so that a vertical projection of the first feeding branch 540 on the metal back cover 110 at least partially overlaps the slot 120. For example, the width W2 of the first feeding branch 540 may be greater than or equal to the width W1 of the slot 120, but is not limited thereto. The widening of the first feeding branch 540 may reduce the equivalent width of the first coupling gap GC1 between the first feeding branch 540 and the third feeding branch 560 to enhance the coupling effect between the first feeding branch 540 and the third feeding branch 560. With this design, the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure of the mobile device 500 in the first frequency band FB1 can be further improved. The remaining features of the mobile device 500 of fig. 5 are similar to those of the mobile device 100 of fig. 1A and 1B, so that similar operations can be achieved in both embodiments.
Fig. 6 shows a top view of a mobile device 600 according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 6 is similar to fig. 5. In the embodiment of fig. 6, a grounding metal part 680 of the mobile device 600 moves closer to the second feeding branch 550, so that a vertical projection of the grounding metal part 680 on the metal back cover 110 at least partially overlaps the slot 120.
