Above-mentioned being used at the antenna such as the double frequency-band work of AMPS (842-894MHz) and PCS (1850-1990MHz) or GSM (890-960MHz) and DCS (1710-1880MHz) is to have single feed point preferably.Yet it can be used to any double frequency-band or single band transceivers.Frequency band can be narrow or wide.Identical antenna element can be used to the application beyond the transceiver, and carries out or do not mate change.Any antenna that shows among Figure 11-19 all can be used to have the various circuit board arrangement of the various match circuits settings of describing in conjunction with Figure 20-29.
See Figure 20 now, wherein shown the plane graph that comprises according to the circuit board 2202 of the radio communication device of a kind of antenna of the present invention.This circuit board comprises contact 2004,2006 and 2008.Upper contact head 2004 is as single feed point preferably, and is coupled with a match circuit 2010 that is coupled to telecommunication circuit 2012.When antenna was in upper/lower positions, the major part of whip was withdrawn within the shell.If whip is selected as 3/4 wavelength in the DCS frequency band, then 1/4 wavelength part can on the feed point and the part of 1/2 wavelength can be under this frequency band.For for the design of AMPS and DCS frequency band antenna-wherein whip is approximately 3/4 wavelength of PCS frequency band, 1/4 wavelength of whip partly may extend on the feed point.This part of whip not only loses coupling with antenna, but also in the circuit of radio-frequency energy radiation to the PC plate, causes more phase error and EM to disturb.Therefore, this part of the bottom that match circuit 2010 is used to make whip be in whip is in establishes the road by cable, thereby makes this part of whip be equivalent to disconnect with the antenna that is in upper/lower positions.Because the length of the withdrawal of antenna part is 1/4 wavelength for AMPS/GSM and is 1/2 wavelength for DCS/PCS that we can comprise the LC network by matching network 2014-.This has a short circuit (or Low ESR) to the AMPS/GSM frequency but is open (or high impedance) to the DCS/PCS frequency.One second match circuit 2014 can be coupled with middle contact 2006.Match circuit is well-known in the prior art, and can comprise any LC network, such as the circuit of Figure 10 demonstration.The value of electric capacity and inductance is selected according to several factors, comprises size, shape and the component of desirable frequency, antenna element and shell etc.Second match circuit 2014 is and middle contact 2006 couplings preferably.In contact 2006 be to obtain selecting along the position of whip part 1106 by the design alternative that comprises the Consideration when selecting matching network.At last, the following contact 2008 with the ground coupling is directly coupled to groove 1122.
Figure 21 has shown the antenna of the present invention that is in the position.In last position, whip is by being coupled to energy in the antenna through metal lining, and obtains energy feeding.Two kinds of patterns of antenna operation obtain excitation by the selection of coupling, antenna length and coupling lining.Antenna is adjusted to have first resonance frequency on the AMPS/GSM frequency band and have second resonance frequency on the DCS/PCS frequency band.The length of whip part 1106 can be for example frequency in the DCS frequency band wavelength 3/4.Perhaps, it can be 3/4 wavelength in the PCS frequency band, and 1/3 wavelength in the AMPS frequency band.Because resonance frequency also is subjected to the influence of ground level, shielded cask (shield can) and PCB characteristic, in order to obtain to be lower than the return loss of about 10dB on double frequency-band, match circuit must be finely tuned at different PC plates and shielded cask size and characteristic.At the embodiment of Figure 22, middle contact 2006 can be coupled with ground rather than match circuit.
See Figure 23 now, wherein shown the plane graph that comprises according to an alternative embodiment of the circuit board of the radio communication device of antenna of the present invention.As shown therein, middle contact 2006 and ground coupling, and match circuit 2302 and following contact 2008 couplings.The whip of withdrawal plays a part transmission line.Load impedance in the bottom of whip will be the equation for transmission line of conversion
Z=Zc(ZL+jZc?tan(l))/(Zc+jZL?tan(1))。Therefore, 1/4 wavelength transmission line of AMPS/GSM will be transformed into the Low ESR of following contact 2008 high impedance at upper contact head 2004 places.But 1/2 wavelength transmission line of DCS/PCS still is transformed into the high impedance at following contact 2008 places the high impedance at upper contact head 2004 places.Match circuit 2302 except the existing coupling to the transceiver at the feed point place that is positioned at lining, provides short circuit and provides open circuit in the high frequency band of frequency by the lower band in frequency, has improved the performance of antenna.
