Referring now to Fig. 3 to 10, the exemplary embodiments of antenna 45 is discussed.Preferably, antenna 45 is multiband antennas that transmit and receive characteristic that enhancing is provided by a plurality of operating frequencies.More specifically, designing antenna 45 with on wide relatively bandwidth and a plurality of cellular band, provides high-gain, required impedance matching, the also satisfied SAR requirement that is suitable for.As example, although antenna 45 also can be used for other bands/frequencies, but preferably, antenna 45 is worked on five frequency bands, promptly, 850MHz global system for mobile communications (GSM) frequency band, 900MHz GSM frequency band, DCS frequency band, PCS frequency band and WCDMA frequency band (that is, up to about 2100MHz).
Although antenna 45 can realize that also for conserve space, advantageously, antenna 45 is realized with three dimensional form, shown in Fig. 7 to 10 with two dimension or plane embodiment.Antenna 45 schematically comprises the first 61 on the PCB 67.Second portion 62 is bent to L shaped dielectric from PCB 67 and extends on (dielectric extension) or the Antenna Positioning framework (retainer frame) 63, and L shaped dielectric is extended or Antenna Positioning framework 63 comprises from PCB 67 outward extending vertical components 51 and from the vertical component of PCB and stretches out and be positioned at the outer outstanding part (overhang portion) 68 on the part of closing on of PCB.In certain embodiments, if desired, also sidewall 55 can be positioned the opposite end (opposing end) of L shaped dielectric extension 63, so that additional support (seeing Fig. 7 and 9) to be provided.
The second portion 62 of antenna 45 schematically comprises the main ring antenna conductor 64 with slit, defines first and second ends 52,53 of main loop conductor.The first 61 of antenna 45 schematically comprises first branch conductors 70, second branch conductors 71 and tuning branch conductors 72.More specifically, first branch conductors 70 has near first end the main loop conductor of being connected 64 first ends 52 and second end that defines first load point, in the example that illustrates, second end and signal source 54 (as, transceiver) link to each other.Second branch conductors 71 has near first end the main loop conductor of being connected 64 second ends 53 and second end that defines second load point, in the example that illustrates, and second end link to each other with the ground plane conductor 69 of PCB (Fig. 8).
Tuning branch conductors 72 has first end that links to each other with main loop conductor 64, and first end of tuning branch conductors 72 is between first and second branch conductors, first end separately.That is to say that certain some place of first end of tuning branch conductors 72 length between first and second branch conductors 70,71 links to each other with main loop conductor 64.Frequency parameter not being produced under the situation of significant impact, can change the position of branch conductors 72 between part 77 and 78 easily.In this example, main loop conductor 64 is roughly rectangle, has first limit that comprises part 75-78 and slit, relative second limit 74 and first and second ends 79,80 respect to one another.Shown in Fig. 7-10, the order wire circuit path that can use printing or have a pattern forms first and second parts 61,62 of antenna 45.
Although in the illustrated embodiment, first branch conductors 70, second branch conductors 71 and tuning branch conductors 72 first end separately link to each other with first limit of main loop conductor 64, and other configuration also is possible.For example, tuning branch conductors 72 can link to each other with second limit 74 or link to each other with in first and second ends 79,80 any one.
As mentioned above, the second portion 62 of antenna 45 can be positioned on the vertical component 51 of L shaped dielectric extension 63.Advantageously, this allows to reduce significantly total floor space (that is circuit) of antenna 45 on the top side of PCB 67.And, on the various piece of main loop conductor 64 also can be extended 63 outer outstanding part 68 around dielectric, with further conserve space.Yet, should be noted that in a particular embodiment, if enough spaces are arranged, can realize antenna 45 (that is, first and second parts 61,62 are at grade) with two-dimensional approach; And just as skilled in the art will recognize, also can use other 3D configuration.
Main loop conductor 64 is limited by part 74-80.Just as skilled in the art will recognize, first branch conductors 70 can link to each other with signal source 54 being with or without under the situation of passive matching network.Preferably, second branch conductors 71 links to each other with ground under the situation of matching network not having, and tuning branch conductors 72 is floated (that is, not linking to each other with signal source 54 or ground).
Usually in fact, branch 70,71 and 72 length are used for being provided with the central task frequency.Branch conductors 70 and 72 square indentation (square meandering) or back and forth (back-and-forth) pattern be the tuning feature that can be used for changing electrical length, wherein, electrical length changes centre frequency.And the difformity of branch 70,71,72 also can be used for being provided with different frequency.For example, except indentation shown in Fig. 3 and linear, these branches can use other geometry, comprise the branch 41 (Fig. 4 B) of zigzag or triangle indentation 40 (Fig. 4 A), band etc.Just as skilled in the art will recognize, different shape and combination also can be used to the frequecy characteristic that provides different.
The part 73 of main loop conductor 64 also can be used for the Control work frequency.Part 73 can be used different shapes and/or cut-outs.Tuning feature so for example can comprise " dog bone " shape 90 (Fig. 5 A), half dog bone shape 91 (Fig. 5 B), hair clip shape 92 (Fig. 5 C), two hair clip shape 93 (Fig. 5 D), band hair clip shape 94 (Fig. 5 E), indentation 95 (Fig. 5 F) and zigzag 96 (Fig. 5 G).And in certain embodiments, except above-mentioned various piece, all main loop conductor 64 can also adopt one of above-mentioned or other shape.
Just as skilled in the art will recognize, if the bandwidth that needs circuit element to adjust input impedance and/or widen in a particular embodiment, then can use circular pattern, this can produce the tuning level of additional resonance (resonant tuning stage).If enough spaces can be used, then can use the straight line portion of suitable length.Yet typically, for built-in cellular device antenna, especially for compact models, the space is very limited, thereby preferably, more may use one of above-mentioned shape (or other).
The width and the shape of part 74 influence antenna gain.The length of part 74 also influences operating frequency.Yet, should be noted that as under the situation of typical dipole antenna part 70,71,72 and 73 length (that is the length of entire antenna 45) also influence operating frequency.
Main loop conductor 64 can adopt multiple shape, width and thickness.Although also can use other shape such as U-shaped 97 (Fig. 6 A), semicircle 98 (Fig. 6 B) and kidney bean shape 99 (Fig. 6 C), as example, main loop conductor 64 usually also can be for circular, square, polygon etc.
And part 74 also can have groove, paster (patch) etc.Paster can be used to increase surface area, thereby makes part 74 carry out shaping to wave beam.Should be noted that under cellular situation preferably, wave beam should send from phone straight, that is, vertical with the plane of PCB 37.As example, according to the execution mode that provides, the width of antenna 45 can be about 7cm or less than 7cm, the height of first 61 can be about 0.5 to 3cm, and the height of second portion 62 can be about 0.5 to 3cm.Certainly, also can use other size.
Just as skilled in the art will recognize, provide the S11 impedance operator of wider bandwidth relevant with antenna 45, need be in the matched well in the frequency range of being concerned about.Like this, need dwindle S11 circle round and that will dwindle and move to 50 ohm center point.Zone 73 is the same with the other parts of antenna 45, can be used to dwindle and/or mobile S11 circle, preferably, realizes in distributed mode.And the matching network of antenna 45 and complications (meandering) part also can be used for the S11 circle is shifted to 50 required ohm center point.According to description of the invention, because the S11 circle that dwindles can advantageously be shifted to 50 ohm point, the center of the S11 that dwindles circle is not very important as above.
Usually in fact, above-mentioned antenna 45 allows different shape and length, is used for being provided with suitable electrical length and CURRENT DISTRIBUTION.Some shapes are simple delay lines, and other shaped design is for influencing the electric current of specific region.As mentioned above, if provide immensity, then above-described many shapes and geometric figure are dispensable.Yet in the limited space environment as mobile radio communication apparatus such as cell phones, above-mentioned antenna features has significant advantage for the desired properties that provides the multiplex (MUX) to do on the frequency band.
Can make different changes in the basic layout to antenna 45 in a particular embodiment.As example, can move tuning branch conductors 72, make tuning branch conductors 72 extend from part 74, rather than 73 extensions from the zone.Just as skilled in the art will recognize, also can make other change.
