The non-conductive housing 110 has a Hollow Structure (Hollow Structure) that can be used to house various components. The shape and style of the non-conductive housing 110 is not particularly limited in the present invention. For example, the non-conductive housing 110 may be a hollow cube.

The cable 120 includes a signal Conductor (Signaling Conductor)121 and a ground Conductor (Grounding Conductor) 122. The Antenna structure 130 includes an Antenna Body (Antenna Body)140 and an embedded Radiation Element (embedded Radiation Element)150, wherein the Antenna Body 140 is disposed outside the non-conductive housing 110, and the embedded Radiation Element 150 is disposed inside the non-conductive housing 110. In other words, the antenna body 140 is a portion that can be directly observed by the eyes of the user, and the embedded radiating portion 150 is another portion that cannot be seen by the eyes of the user (because it is blocked by the non-conductor housing 110). The signal source 190 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, which may be used to excite the antenna structure 130. In some embodiments, the signal source 190 has a Positive Electrode (Positive Electrode) and a Negative Electrode (Negative Electrode), wherein the Positive Electrode of the signal source 190 is coupled to the antenna body 140 via the signal conductor 121, and the Negative Electrode of the signal source 190 is coupled to the embedded radiating portion 150 via the ground conductor 122. In other embodiments, the positive and negative poles of the signal source 190 can be reversed without affecting the efficacy of the present invention.
In some embodiments, the antenna structure 130 covers a Low-Frequency Band (Low-Frequency Band) and a High-Frequency Band (High-Frequency Band), wherein the Low-Frequency Band may be between 700MHz and 960MHz, and the High-Frequency Band may be between 1700MHz and 2700 MHz. Therefore, the antenna structure 130 can support at least the wideband operation of lte (long Term evolution). In other embodiments, the low frequency band may be between 2400MHz and 2500MHz and the high frequency band may be between 5150MHz and 5850MHz, such that the antenna structure 130 may support 2.4GHz/5GHz dual band operation of WLAN (Wireless Local Area networks).

For example, the Antenna body 140 may be a Monopole (Monopole Antenna), a Dipole Antenna (Dipole Antenna), a Patch Antenna (Patch Antenna), a Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA), or a Chip Antenna (Chip Antenna). The embedded radiating portion 150 can be made of a conductive material, such as: and (3) a metal material.

An Angle θ 1 between the antenna body 140 and the embedded radiating portion 150 may be between 0 degree and 180 degrees, and preferably equal to 90 degrees. Generally, the embedded radiating portion 150 and the antenna body 140 may generate Resonant currents (Resonant currents) in different directions, which may correspond to different Polarization directions (Polarization directions). For example, if the antenna body 140 has a vertical polarization direction, the embedded radiating portion 150 can provide a horizontal polarization direction to compensate for the Null (Null) of the Radiation Pattern (Radiation Pattern) of the antenna body 140. In order to enhance the Coupling Effect (Coupling Effect) between the antenna body 140 and the embedded radiating portion 150, the distance D1 between the antenna body 140 and the embedded radiating portion 150 is preferably less than or equal to 3 wavelengths (3 λ) of the low frequency band of the antenna structure 130. It should be noted that the embedded radiating portion 150 can be regarded as an extension of the antenna body 140, and since the embedded radiating portion 150 is disposed inside the non-conductive housing 110, it will not increase the overall size of the antenna body 140, and at the same time, can beautify the visual appearance of the communication device 100. With this design, the antenna structure 130 including the antenna body 140 and the embedded radiating portion 150 can have at least advantages of small size, wide frequency band, and multiple polarization directions, so it is suitable for various communication devices 100.
The following embodiments will describe various detailed features of the communication device 100 and its antenna structure 130. It must be understood that these drawings and descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is an exploded view of an antenna structure 230 according to an embodiment of the invention. In the embodiment of fig. 2, the Antenna structure 230 includes an Antenna body 240, an embedded radiating portion 250, a Connector (Connector)260, and a non-conductive Antenna Cover (non-conductive Antenna Cover) 270.

The embedded radiating portion 250 has a first End 251 and a second End 252, wherein an Opening 255 is formed at the first End 251 of the embedded radiating portion 250, and the second End 252 of the embedded radiating portion 250 is an Open End. The cable 120 may pass through the opening 255 of the embedded radiating portion 250 to simplify the associated assembly process. For example, the opening 255 of the embedded radiating portion 250 may generally exhibit a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a triangular shape, or a square shape. In other embodiments, the opening 255 of the embedded radiating portion 250 may be filled with a conductive material. The connector 260 may be of any variety, for example: an SMA (miniature version A) connector, but is not limited thereto.

It should be understood that the connector 260 and the non-conductive radome 270 are Optional elements (Optional elements) and may be removed in other embodiments.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an antenna body 240 according to an embodiment of the invention. The antenna body 240 may be disposed on a Dielectric Substrate (Dielectric Substrate)305, for example: a FR4 (film resistor 4) substrate or a Flexible Circuit Board (FPC). In the embodiment of fig. 3, the antenna body 240 includes a Connection Radiation Element (Connection Radiation Element)310, a Main Radiation Element (Main Radiation Element)320, a first Radiation Element (forming Radiation Element)330, and a second Radiation Element 340. The connecting radiating portion 310 may substantially exhibit a non-uniform width straight bar shape. The connecting radiation portion 310 has a first end 311 and a second end 312, wherein the width of the first end 311 is greater than the width of the second end 312, so as to fine tune the feeding Impedance Matching (Impedance Matching) of the antenna body 240. The first end 311 of the connecting radiation portion 310 is coupled to a Positive Feeding Point (FP), wherein the Positive Feeding Point FP is further coupled to the signal conductor 121 of the cable 120. The main radiating portion 320 may exhibit an asymmetric pattern. The main radiating portion 320 has a first end 321 and a second end 322, wherein the first end 321 of the main radiating portion 320 is coupled to the second end 312 of the connecting radiating portion 310, and the second end 322 of the main radiating portion 320 is an open end and may substantially form an arc shape. A rectangular Notch 325 is formed at one side (e.g., the right side) of the main radiating portion 320, which can be used to fine tune the high frequency impedance matching of the antenna body 240. The three of the connection radiation portion 310, the first serpentine radiation portion 330, and the second serpentine radiation portion 340 may present a symmetrical pattern, in which the connection radiation portion 310 is interposed between the first serpentine radiation portion 330 and the second serpentine radiation portion 340. A first gap G1 is formed between the connecting radiating portion 310 and the first meandering radiating portion 330, and a second gap G2 is formed between the connecting radiating portion 310 and the second meandering radiating portion 340, so that the connecting radiating portion 310 is not directly connected to the first meandering radiating portion 330 and the second meandering radiating portion 340. The first meandering radiation portion 330 has a first end 331 and a second end 332, wherein the first end 331 of the first meandering radiation portion 330 is coupled to a Negative Feeding Point (Negative Feeding Point) FN, and the second end 332 of the first meandering radiation portion 330 is an open end. The second meandering radiation portion 340 has a first end 341 and a second end 342, wherein the first end 341 of the second meandering radiation portion 340 is coupled to the negative feed point FN, and the second end 342 of the second meandering radiation portion 340 is an open end. The second end 332 of the first serpentine radiation portion 330 and the second end 342 of the second serpentine radiation portion 340 may extend in substantially the same direction. The negative feed point FN may also be coupled to the embedded radiating portion 250 and the ground conductor 122 of the cable line 120. In some embodiments, the embedded radiating portion 250 is directly coupled to the negative feed point FN without passing through the cable 120. The first meandering radiation portion 330 surrounds a first Non-conductive Region (Non-conductive Region)335, and the second meandering radiation portion 340 surrounds a second Non-conductive Region 345, wherein the first Non-conductive Region 335 and the second Non-conductive Region 345 may each substantially have a rectangular shape or a straight strip shape, and they may be substantially parallel to each other. The structural design of the first meandering radiation section 330 and the second meandering radiation section 340 can be used to shrink the overall size of the antenna body 240.
In some embodiments, the antenna structure 230 covers a low frequency band and a high frequency band. For example, the low frequency band may be between 700MHz and 960MHz, and the high frequency band may be between 1700MHz and 2700MHz, but is not limited thereto. In terms of antenna principle, the aforementioned low frequency band is mainly generated by the joint radiation portion 310, the main radiation portion 320, the first meandering radiation portion 330, and the second meandering radiation portion 340, and the aforementioned high frequency band is mainly generated by the main radiation portion 320. According to the actual measurement result, the embedded radiating portion 250 has a relatively large Current Density (Current Density) in both the low frequency band and the high frequency band. In other words, the embedded radiating portion 250 can be used to guide the low frequency resonant current and the high frequency resonant current simultaneously, so as to provide different polarization directions and eliminate the null point of the radiation field pattern. Therefore, the radiation performance of the antenna structure 230 using the embedded radiation portion 250 can be greatly improved.
In some embodiments, the element dimensions of the antenna structure 230 may be as follows. The length L1 of the antenna body 240 may be substantially equal to 0.25 wavelengths of the low frequency band of the antenna structure 230 (L1 ═ 0.25 λ). The length L2 of the embedded radiating part 250 may be more than 3 times (L2: W1> 3: 1) greater than the width W1 of the antenna body 240. The length L1 of the antenna body 240 may be greater than 7 times the width W1 of the antenna body 240 (L1: W1> 7: 1). The sum of the length L1 of the antenna body 240 and the length L2 of the embedded radiating portion 250 may be substantially equal to 0.4 times the wavelength of the low frequency band of the antenna structure 230 (L1+ L2 ═ 0.4 λ). The sum of the length L3 of the main radiating portion 320 and the length L2 of the embedded radiating portion 250 may be substantially equal to 0.6 times the wavelength of the high frequency band of the antenna structure 230 (L2+ L3 ═ 0.6 λ). The first gap G1 and the second gap G2 may each have a width less than 0.5 mm. The above ranges of element sizes are derived from a number of experimental results, which help to optimize the radiation pattern and impedance matching of the antenna structure 230.
Fig. 4A is a diagram illustrating a radiation pattern of the antenna structure 230 operating in a low frequency band according to an embodiment of the invention (which can be measured along the YZ plane), wherein a first curve CC1 represents the radiation pattern of the antenna structure 230 without the embedded radiating portion 250, and a second curve CC2 represents the radiation pattern of the antenna structure 230 with the embedded radiating portion 250. According to the measurement result of fig. 4A, the addition of the embedded radiating portion 250 can increase the radiation pattern strength of the antenna structure 230 on the + Z axis by about 20dB, so that the design can eliminate the low-frequency radiation pattern zero of the antenna structure 230.
Fig. 4B is a diagram illustrating a radiation pattern of the antenna structure 230 operating in a high frequency band according to an embodiment of the invention (which can be measured along the YZ plane), wherein a third curve CC3 represents the radiation pattern of the antenna structure 230 without the embedded radiating portion 250, and a fourth curve CC4 represents the radiation pattern of the antenna structure 230 with the embedded radiating portion 250. According to the measurement result of fig. 4B, the radiation pattern strength of the antenna structure 230 on the + Z axis can be improved by about 25dB by the addition of the embedded radiation portion 250, so that the high-frequency radiation pattern zero point of the antenna structure 230 can be eliminated by this design.
Fig. 5 is a graph illustrating Radiation Efficiency (Radiation Efficiency) of the antenna structure 230 according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein a fifth curve CC5 represents the Radiation Efficiency of the antenna structure 230 without the embedded radiating portion 250, and a sixth curve CC6 represents the Radiation Efficiency of the antenna structure 230 with the embedded radiating portion 250. According to the measurement results shown in fig. 5, the radiation efficiency of the antenna structure 230 can be increased by about 30% by adding the embedded radiation portion 250, so that the overall communication quality can be greatly improved.
Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating an antenna structure 630 according to another embodiment of the invention. In the embodiment of fig. 6, the antenna structure 630 includes an antenna body 640 and an embedded radiating portion 650, wherein the antenna body 640 is directly coupled to an anode of a signal source 690, and the embedded radiating portion 650 is directly coupled to a cathode of the signal source 690. The antenna structure 630 may cover a low frequency band and a high frequency band.
