Of course, the third feeding pin may penetrate through the insulating substrate 110 and then connect the power divider and the radiating element 121.
Further, referring to fig. 6, the antenna module 100 further includes a reflection plate 200. The outer wall of the cavity 131 is connected to the reflection plate 200, and a metal layer is disposed on the surface of the reflection plate 200 or the reflection plate 200 is a metal reflection plate.
As an alternative, the reflective plate 200 is not required to be disposed, but the insulating substrate 110 is disposed on a metal surface such as a filter and an RRU, which is equivalent to the reflective plate 200 and can be used as a ground of a power divider to form an air microstrip line or a strip line.
In an embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 5, a 5G antenna includes the antenna module 100 according to any of the above embodiments, the antenna module 100 is multiple, and the antenna modules 100 are arranged in an array. Specifically, the 5G antenna is, for example, a 5G antenna with 32 channels, and accordingly, for example, 16 antenna modules 100 of the above-described embodiment in 2 rows and 8 columns are adopted. The 5G antenna is, for example, a 5G antenna with 16 channels, and accordingly, for example, 2 rows and 4 columns, which are 8 antenna modules 100 of the above-described embodiment, are adopted. Of course, the 5G antenna may be an antenna with other channel numbers, and a small antenna for street stations, which are not limited herein.
When the 5G antenna works, after the signal is input from the antenna input interface 150, one path of signal is electrically connected to one of the antenna sub-arrays 120 through the first power dividing line 141, and the other path of signal is electrically connected to the other antenna sub-array 120 through the phase shifter 130 and the second power dividing line 142, and under the phase shifting action of the phase shifter 130, the two antenna sub-arrays 120 form a phase difference to perform the function of adjusting the downtilt angle. Since the cavity 131 of the phase shifter 130 and the insulating substrate 110 are integrated, the antenna module 100 does not need to be formed by separately manufacturing and assembling by using connecting members as in the conventional method, and thus, the assembly is simple, the automatic production is realized, the cost is reduced, the profile is low, and the weight is light. In addition, the method is favorable for reducing insertion loss and intermodulation hidden danger and improving the consistency of products.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
