Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure relates to a mobile terminal, in particular to an antenna assembly in the mobile terminal. At present, the development trend of mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones has gradually evolved into a design mode of large power and full screen, which results in reduced headroom and space compression of the mobile phone antenna, thus bringing great challenges to the design of the antenna. Meanwhile, the functions of the mobile phone are more diversified, and the frequency range covered by the mobile phone is more and more comprehensive, so that the number of mobile phone antennas is gradually increased. Based on this, the contradiction between the reduction of the design space and the increase of the number of antennas leads to the reduction of the isolation between the antennas, thereby affecting the performance of each antenna. In the related art, an antenna assembly of a mobile phone at least includes a main antenna and a WiFi antenna, the main antenna may adopt a metal loop at the bottom of the mobile phone and combine with a switch assembly to realize switching of each frequency band, and the WiFi antenna may be set as a WiFi MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) antenna. Specifically, the WiFi MIMO antenna may include a main antenna and a sub-antenna, the main antenna is located at the top end of the mobile phone, i.e., the end provided with the camera, and the sub-antenna is located at the bottom end of the mobile phone, i.e., the end provided with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. In the design of a full-screen mobile phone, the clearance area is reduced, so that the distance between the auxiliary antenna of the WiFi MIMO and the metal frame as the main antenna is too close, and the frequency band of the WiFi 2.4G is very close to the frequency band of LTE (Long Term Evolution) B1\ B7\ B40, so that the isolation between the two antennas is relatively poor, and thus a serious coupling problem is generated. The technical scheme that this disclosure provided, can set up the first feed point of main antenna in the one side that is close to first broken joint, and set up the radiation arm of wiFi antenna in the one side that is close to the second broken joint, because first broken joint and second broken joint distribute in the relative both sides in the metal underframe, and the terminal point of the second radiation arm of wiFi antenna is parallel or keep away from the direction of metal underframe, consequently alright reduce the coupling between wiFi antenna and the main antenna, in order to guarantee that two single antennas have good performance simultaneously can also ensure that the isolation between two antennas can promote, thereby make the interference between two single antennas to reduce to some extent.

Fig. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate a structure of an antenna assembly provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be applied to a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone. As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the antenna assembly specifically includes a main antenna 101 and a WiFi antenna 102, where the WiFi antenna 102 can be independently used as a WiFi dual-band antenna to cover two frequency bands of WiFi 2.4G (2.4 to 2.48GHz) and WiFi 5G (5.15 to 5.85GHz), and certainly can also be used as a secondary antenna of a WiFi MIMO antenna, and the WiFi MIMO antenna also includes a main antenna, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.

Specifically, the main antenna 101 may include a metal bottom frame 1010 as a first radiating arm, a first gap 1011 and a second gap 1012 provided in the metal bottom frame 1010, and a first feed 1013 and a first ground 1014. The first gap 1011 and the second gap 1012 are respectively located at two sides of the metal bottom frame 1010, and specifically located at two sides of the USB interface of the mobile terminal, the first feed point 1013 and the first ground point 1014 are disposed near the side where the first gap 1011 is located, for example, the first gap 1011 is located at the right side of the USB interface, the second gap 1012 is located at the left side of the USB interface, and at this time, the first feed point 1013 and the first ground point 1014 are both disposed at the right side of the USB interface. It should be noted that: the metal bottom frame 1010 in this embodiment refers to a bottom area of the terminal metal frame, that is, a linear area at the bottom side, and at this time, the first broken seam 1011 and the second broken seam 1012 may be located in the linear area, or may also be located in a rounded area bent upward from the linear area, which is not limited in this embodiment. Therefore, the main antenna 101 in this embodiment can be formed by using the metal bottom frame 1010 of the mobile terminal, that is, the main antenna 101 is formed by using the broken ring structure of the metal bottom frame 1010.

Specifically, the WiFi antenna 102 may include a second radiating arm 1021, a third radiating arm 1022, a second feed point 1023 and a second ground point 1024, where an end of the second radiating arm 1021 and an end of the third radiating arm 1022 intersect in a predetermined area, and the second feed point 1023 and the second ground point 1024 are disposed in the predetermined area. The second radiating arm 1021 and the third radiating arm 1022 are disposed near the second gap 1012, the length of the second radiating arm 1021 is greater than the length of the third radiating arm 1022, and the end of the second radiating arm 1021 is directed to a direction parallel to or away from the metal bottom frame 1010, for example, the end of the second radiating arm 1021 shown in fig. 1 is directed to a direction parallel to the metal bottom frame 1010, or the end of the second radiating arm 1021 shown in fig. 2 is directed to a direction away from the metal bottom frame 1010. In this embodiment, as the length of the second radiating arm 1021 is greater than that of the third radiating arm 1022, the second radiating arm 1021 is a WiFi 2.4G antenna branch with a lower frequency, and the third radiating arm 1022 is a WiFi 5G antenna branch with a higher frequency. It should be noted that: the WiFi antenna 102 may be disposed on an antenna support of the mobile terminal, for example, an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) is used to form the second radiation arm 1021 and the third radiation arm 1022. It can be seen that the WiFi antenna 102 in this embodiment can be formed by using an FPC on the antenna mount.

Based on the above structure, according to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first feed point 1013 of the main antenna 101 is disposed at one side close to the first gap 1011, and the radiation arm of the WiFi antenna 102 is disposed at one side close to the second gap 1012, because the first gap 1011 and the second gap 1012 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the metal bottom frame 1010, and the end of the second radiation arm 1021 in the WiFi antenna 102 points to a direction parallel to or away from the metal bottom frame 1010, the coupling between the WiFi antenna 102 and the main antenna 101 can be reduced, so that while the good performance of the two single antennas is ensured, the isolation between the two antennas can be improved, and the interference between the two single antennas can be reduced.

In this exemplary embodiment, the WiFi antenna 102 is disposed near the side where the second break 1012 is located, for example, the left side of the USB interface of the mobile terminal. The implementation of the WiFi antenna 102 is exemplarily described below with reference to fig. 1 to 6.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, an end of the second radiating arm 1021 and an end of the third radiating arm 1022 intersect in a predetermined area, where the second feed point 1023 and the second ground point 1024 are located, the second feed point 1023 is close to the first slit 1011, for example, on the right side of the mobile terminal, and the second ground point 1024 is close to the second slit 1012, for example, on the left side of the mobile terminal. Specifically, with the preset area as a starting point, the second radiation arm 1021 is parallel to the metal bottom frame 1010 and extends along a direction from the second gap 1012 to the first gap 1011, the third radiation arm 1022 is perpendicular to the metal bottom frame 1010 and extends along a direction from the preset area to the metal bottom frame 1010, and the second radiation arm 1021, the third radiation arm 1022, the second feed point 1023 and the second ground point 1024 together form an IFA (Inverted-F) antenna. The length of the second radiating arm 1021 is greater than that of the third radiating arm 1022, and thus the second radiating arm 1021 is a WiFi 2.4G antenna branch, and the third radiating arm 1022 is a WiFi 5G antenna branch. Based on the structure, because the second radiation arm 1021 of the WiFi 2.4G antenna branch is parallel to the first radiation arm, i.e. the metal bottom frame 1010 of the main antenna 101, the current coupling between the WiFi 2.4G antenna branch and the main antenna can be reduced, so that good isolation can be obtained between the two antennas, and even when the shortest distance between the two antennas is within the range of 1-3 cm, good isolation can be ensured at the adjacent parts of the frequency bands of the two antennas (WiFi 2.4G and the main antenna LTE B1\ B7\ B40, etc.).

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 2, 5 and 6, an end of the second radiating arm 1021 and an end of the third radiating arm 1022 intersect in a predetermined area, where the second feed point 1023 and the second ground point 1024 are located, the second feed point 1023 is close to the first slit 1011, for example, on the right side of the mobile terminal, and the second ground point 1024 is close to the second slit 1012, for example, on the left side of the mobile terminal. Specifically, with a preset area as a starting point, the second radiation arm 1021 is located at one side of the preset area close to the metal bottom frame 1010, the second radiation arm 1021 includes a first section, a second section and a third section, the first section is connected to the preset area, the second section is connected between the first section and the third section, both the first section and the third section are perpendicular to the metal bottom frame 1010, and a terminal of the third section points to a direction away from the metal bottom frame 1010, the third radiation arm 1022 is parallel to the metal bottom frame 1010 and extends along a direction from the second break 1012 to the first break 1011, and the second radiation arm 1021, the third radiation arm 1022, the second feed point 1023 and the second ground point 1024 together form an IFA antenna. The length of the second radiating arm 1021 is greater than that of the third radiating arm 1022, and thus the second radiating arm 1021 is a WiFi 2.4G antenna branch, and the third radiating arm 1022 is a WiFi 5G antenna branch. Based on the structure, because the tail end of the second radiation arm 1021 of the WiFi 2.4G antenna branch points to the direction departing from the main antenna 101, the current coupling between the WiFi 2.4G antenna branch and the main antenna can be reduced, so that good isolation can be obtained between the two antennas, and even if the shortest distance between the two antennas is within the range of 1-3 cm, the good isolation can be ensured at the adjacent parts of the frequency bands of the two antennas (such as the WiFi 2.4G and the main antenna LTE B1\ B7\ B40).

It should be noted that: the above structure is merely an exemplary illustration of the WiFi antenna 102, and the position of the feed point, the position of the ground point, and the position of the radiating arm may all be varied, which is not limited in this embodiment, but it is within the protection scope of the present disclosure as long as the WiFi 2.4G antenna branches are designed to be parallel or the end thereof is far away from the main antenna.
