Background technology
Along with the high development of semiconductor technology, current electronic system integrated level has been proposed increasingly high requirement, miniaturization of devices becomes the technical problem that whole industry is paid special attention to.Yet, be different from the development that the IC chip is followed " Moore's Law ", as other important composition---the radio-frequency module of electronic system, but be faced with the highly difficult technological challenge of device miniaturization.Radio-frequency module has mainly comprised main devices such as mixing, power amplifier, filtering, radio signal transmission, matching network and antenna.Wherein, antenna is as the radiating element and the receiving device of final radiofrequency signal, and its operating characteristic will directly influence the service behaviour of whole electronic system.Yet important indicators such as the size of antenna, bandwidth, gain have but received the restriction (gain margin under the fixed dimension, bandwidth limit etc.) of basic physical principle.The basic principle of these index limit makes the miniaturization technology difficulty of antenna considerably beyond other device, and because the complexity of the electromagnetic field analysis of radio-frequency devices, approaching these limiting values all becomes huge technological challenge.
Simultaneously, complicated along with contemporary electronic systems, the demand of multimode service becomes more and more important in systems such as radio communication, wireless access, satellite communication, radio data network.And the demand of multimode service has further increased the complexity of miniature antenna multimode design.Remove the technological challenge of miniaturization, the multimode impedance matching of antenna also becomes the bottleneck of antenna technology.On the other hand, the high speed development of multi-input multi-output system (MIMO) in radio communication, wireless data service field further required the miniaturization of antenna size harshly and guaranteed good isolation degree, radiance and antijamming capability simultaneously.Yet traditional terminal communication antenna mainly designs based on the radiation theory of electric monopole or dipole, such as the most frequently used planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA).The radiation operating frequency of traditional antenna directly and the size positive correlation of antenna, the area positive correlation of bandwidth and antenna makes the design of antenna need the physical length of half-wavelength usually.More in the complicated electronic system, antenna needs multimode operation, just need design at the impedance matching network outside the feed antenna forehead at some.But the increase that impedance matching network is extra the feeder line design of electronic system, increased radio system area simultaneously matching network also introduced many energy losses, be difficult to satisfy the requirement of system design of low-power consumption.Therefore, miniaturization, multimodal new antenna technology become an important technology bottleneck of contemporary electronics integrated system.
