Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, an antenna and a radio device of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

The embodiment of the utility model provides an antenna, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, comprising a radiation layer 1, a dielectric layer 2 and a ground layer 3, wherein the radiation layer 1 is in contact with the dielectric layer 2, the radiation layer 1 is insulated from the ground layer 3, the dielectric layer 2 comprises a main medium 21, a conductive layer 22 and a soft magnetic layer 23, the conductive layer 22 and the soft magnetic layer 23 are embedded in the main medium 21, and the conductive layer 22 and the soft magnetic layer 23 are mutually overlapped and contacted; the soft magnetic layer 23 is made of soft magnetic material, and the conductive layer 22 is connected with a direct current source.

Wherein, soft magnetic material means that when magnetization occurs at Hc not more than 1000A/m, such material is called soft magnet. The material of the soft magnetic layer 23 comprises soft magnetic metal or alloy, soft magnetic ferrite or amorphous soft magnetic alloy consisting of iron, nickel, cobalt or alloy thereof and glass element; wherein the soft magnetic metal or alloy comprises Fe, FeAl, FeSi, FeSiAl, FeNi, FeC or FeCo; the soft magnetic ferrite comprises MnZn, NiZn or MgZn; the vitrification element includes a silicon element, a boron element, a carbon element, or a phosphorus element.

The static magnetization characteristic of a soft magnetic material is the parameter when the magnetic parameter is characterized as free. The static magnetic properties of a material are often characterized by a magnetization curve or hysteresis loop. FIG. 3 shows the normalized hysteresis loop of FeNi film with thickness of 20nm measured along the easy axis. The measurement of the hysteresis loop is a quasi-static process. An amorphous soft magnetic thin film in a remanent state is placed in an external magnetic field. When the magnetic field is 0, the film is in a state b, which is called remanence state, i.e. the sample is spontaneously magnetized in the absence of an external magnetic field. The magnetization (M) gradually decreases when the magnetic field increases in the opposite direction, and sharply decreases and rapidly increases in the opposite direction when the external magnetic field reaches a, at which time the magnitude of the external magnetic field is referred to as the coercive field of the sample. As the magnetic field continues to increase, the magnetization of the soft magnetic film gradually increases, and when state c is reached, the magnetization of the soft magnetic film is the maximum magnetization that can be reached by the sample, referred to as the saturation magnetization (Ms). Saturation magnetization is an important parameter for characterizing the strength of the magnetism of ferromagnetic materials. To obtain a complete magnetic hysteresis loop, after the soft magnetic film is magnetized to saturation along the reverse magnetic field, the magnetic field is gradually reduced, and when the magnetic field is changed to 0, the film is in a remanent magnetic state due to the influence of magnetic hysteresis. When the magnetic field is increased continuously in the positive direction, the magnetization state of the film is reversed when the magnetic field reaches the coercive force. When the magnetic field is continuously increased to reach saturation, a symmetrical magnetic hysteresis loop is obtained. The ratio of the magnetic induction intensity corresponding to any point on the hysteresis loop to the magnetic field intensity is a magnetic permeability value.

The magnetic effect of current is a phenomenon that any wire passing current can generate a magnetic field around the wire, and is called as the magnetic effect of current. Around the long straight wire through which current flows, a magnetic field is generated, the shape of the magnetic induction line is a closed concentric circle with the wire as the center, and the direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current, as shown in fig. 4.

According to the hysteresis loop of the soft magnetic material, the magnetic permeability (the ratio of the magnetic induction intensity to the magnetic field intensity) is variable under the action of an external magnetic field. Where an external magnetic field is generated using an energized dc conductor, as shown in fig. 5, the conductive layer 22 will generate a magnetic field upon application of current, thereby changing the permeability of the soft magnetic material. By distributing the conductive layer 22 and the soft magnetic layer 23 within the host medium 21 according to this principle, the properties of the overall medium layer 2 can be adjusted, here mainly the permeability, with a substantially constant permittivity. When different currents are applied to the conductive layer 22, the macroscopic permeability of the dielectric layer 2 changes.

In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 2 is located on one side of the radiation layer 1 close to the ground layer 3. I.e. the dielectric layer 2 is located between the radiating layer 1 and the ground layer 3. The radiation layer 1 may be metal sheets with different shapes and sizes according to design requirements, and the thickness of the dielectric layer 2 is much smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave radiated or received by the antenna.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the orthographic projections of the radiation layer 1 and the dielectric layer 2 on the ground layer 3 are located on the ground layer 3; the orthographic projection area of the radiation layer 1 on the ground layer 3 is smaller than that of the dielectric layer 2 on the ground layer 3, and the orthographic projection of the radiation layer 1 on the ground layer 3 falls into the orthographic projection of the dielectric layer 2 on the ground layer 3.

Wherein the resonance frequency fr of the antenna is inversely proportional to the permeability μ and the square root of the dielectric constant e of the dielectric layer 2. The antenna operates by resonance. For a general dielectric layer, the permeability and the dielectric constant are fixed values, and the resonant frequency of the antenna is also fixed value. The soft magnetic material is a high magnetic conductivity material, the magnetic conductivity of the soft magnetic material is related to the magnetic field generated by the conductive layer 22 which is introduced with direct current, and the magnetic field is controlled by the current, so that the magnetic conductivity of the dielectric layer 2 is controlled, the resonance of the radiation layer 1 is influenced, and the frequency of the electromagnetic wave radiated or received by the antenna is adjustable.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the conductive layer 22 has a mesh structure; the soft magnetic layer 23 includes a plurality of sub-portions 230, the plurality of sub-portions 230 being arranged in an array; each sub-portion 230 is in contact with the conductive layer 22. The conductive layer 22 of the mesh structure can transmit electromagnetic waves, and the conductive layer 22 is prevented from shielding the electromagnetic waves. The conductive layer 22 is made of a metal with high conductive performance such as copper, gold, etc., so that loss can be reduced and efficiency can be improved. The conductive layer 22 is a grid line with an ultrafine line width, the grid lines are conductive lines shared in series and parallel, and if the nodes of the grid lines are broken, the use of the grid lines is not affected, and the reliability is improved. The opposite ends of conductive layer 22 are input and output current access points.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the orthographic projection shape of the sub-portion 230 on the ground layer 3 includes a rectangle or a long strip. Since the rectangular or elongated sub-sections 230 have different magnetization capabilities and have hard axes and easy axes, the size and aspect ratio of the rectangular pattern affect the soft magnetic resonance frequency, and the larger the aspect ratio, the higher the soft magnetic resonance frequency, thereby widening the tunable frequency range of the antenna. A patterned soft magnetic layer 23 is arranged above the conductive layer 22, and when different currents are introduced into the conductive layer 22, different magnetic fields are generated around the grid-shaped conductive lines, and according to the characteristic that the soft magnetic material is easy to magnetize, the magnetic field generated by the conductive lines can change the magnetization performance, namely the magnetic permeability, of the soft magnetic material. Taking the host medium 21, the conductive layer 22 and the patterned soft magnetic layer 23 as the medium layer 2, the medium layer 2 has different equivalent medium properties (including equivalent dielectric constant and equivalent magnetic permeability) at different driving currents.

The line width of the conductive line in the conductive layer 22 and the size of the sub-portion 230 in the soft magnetic layer 23 are much smaller than the size of the radiation layer 1, and the antenna in this embodiment can radiate or receive electromagnetic waves below the 6GHZ band. For example: for an antenna in the 3.5GHz band (the half wavelength of the electromagnetic wave transmitted or received by the antenna is about 43mm), the overall size of the dielectric layer 2 is about 50mm x 50mm, which is at least larger than the half wavelength of the electromagnetic wave transmitted or received by the antenna. The line width of the grid lines in the conductive layer 22 is 10-40 μm, the size of the sub-portion 230 in the soft magnetic layer 23 is 5 μm × 5 μm-40 μm × 40 μm, preferably, the size of the rectangular sub-portion 230 is 15 μm × 20 μm, and the specific line width of the grid lines in the conductive layer 22 and the size of the sub-portion 230 in the soft magnetic layer 23 need to be determined according to the pattern design and material characteristics thereof and the frequency band of the electromagnetic waves to be radiated or received by the antenna.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, one conductive layer 22 and one soft magnetic layer 23, which are stacked and contacted with each other, constitute one combination 200, a plurality of combinations 200 are embedded in a main body medium 21, and the plurality of combinations 200 are spaced from and stacked on each other; the conductive layers 22 in different combinations 200 are connected to the same source of direct current. Since the combination 200 of a single patterned soft-magnetic layer 23 and a conducting layer 22 has a limited ability to adjust the permeability of the overall dielectric layer 2, the adjustability of the dielectric layer 2 may be increased by a plurality of superimposed conducting layers 22 and soft-magnetic layer 23 combinations 200 in order to increase the ability to adjust the permeability of the overall dielectric layer 2. For a plurality of stacked combinations 200 of conductive layer 22 and soft magnetic layer 23, a single current load and multiple current loads are applied to the conductive layer 22 in each combination 200 in this embodiment. The overall magnetic permeability of the dielectric layers 2 of the plurality of combinations 200 loaded by a single current is a uniform value outwards, and the conducting layers 22 in the combinations 200 are connected together in series, so that the single current loading can be realized.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 11, the conductive layers 22 in different combinations 200 may also be connected to different dc current sources respectively, and the different dc current sources respectively provide dc currents with different magnitudes. The multiple currents are respectively and correspondingly loaded to the conducting layers 22 of the combinations 200, the currents of the conducting layers 22 of the combinations 200 can be different and are externally equivalent to equivalent materials similar to a dielectric lens, and the multiple currents are loaded to the conducting layers 22 of the different combinations 200, so that the adjusting capacity of the magnetic conductivity of the whole dielectric layer 2 can be further improved, and the adjustable range of the frequency band of the radiation or receiving electromagnetic waves of the antenna can be further improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the material of the main body medium 21 includes any one of polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, cyclic olefin polymer, polymethyl methacrylate, polydimethylsiloxane, epoxy resin, polytetrafluoroethylene, silicon dioxide, and silicon nitride, or a composite material thereof; the material of the conductive layer 22 includes gold, silver, copper, aluminum, platinum, or an alloy thereof, or the like.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 12, the antenna further includes: the frequency selection layer 4 is arranged on one side of the radiation layer 1, which is far away from the ground layer 3, and the dielectric layer 2 is positioned between the frequency selection layer 4 and the radiation layer 1; the frequency selective layer 4 is used to select the frequency of electromagnetic waves radiated and received by the antenna. Namely, a dielectric layer 2 is arranged between the radiation layer 1 and the ground layer 3, and a dielectric layer 2 is also arranged between the radiation layer 1 and the frequency selection layer 4. Of course, the dielectric layer between the radiation layer 1 and the ground layer 3 may be a dielectric layer with fixed impedance. The Frequency Selective layer 4 is a two-dimensional periodic array structure (FSS) with a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS), and essentially, is a spatial filter, and exhibits an obvious bandpass or bandstop filter characteristic when interacting with electromagnetic waves. FSS has a specific frequency selective effect and is widely used in the microwave, infrared to visible light bands. The frequency selective layer 4 can enhance or weaken the electromagnetic wave radiation performance of the antenna. In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 2 with adjustable magnetic permeability is used as the dielectric layer of the frequency selection layer 4, and the performance of the frequency selection layer 4 is adjusted by adjusting the equivalent magnetic permeability of the dielectric layer 2, so as to adjust the radiation performance of the antenna.

As shown in fig. 13, the frequency selective layer 4 includes a plurality of sub-units 41, the plurality of sub-units 41 are arranged in an array, and the orthographic projection shapes of the sub-units 41 on the ground layer 3 include a Y shape, an anchor shape, a yersinia shape, a circular ring shape, a cross ring shape, a square shape, or a hexagon shape.

Fig. 14 shows a square slot FSS formed by combining a square metal patch 5 and a metal grid 6 structure. Obviously, the formed square groove is equivalent to a gap capacitor, the metal mesh is equivalent to an inductor, and the two are combined to form LC parallel resonance. When the incident electromagnetic wave works in a low-frequency band, the impedance of the inductor is small, the impedance of the capacitor is large, and the current cannot be led to the output end through the inductor, namely the electromagnetic wave working in the low-frequency band cannot be output; when the incident electromagnetic wave works at high frequency, the impedance of the capacitor is reduced, the impedance of the inductor is increased, and the current cannot pass through the capacitor to the output end, namely the electromagnetic wave working at the high frequency band cannot be output; therefore, only when the incident electromagnetic wave works at or close to the resonant frequency, the impedance of the inductor is equivalent to the impedance of the capacitor in terms of value, and at the moment, the current amplitude is equal to the current amplitude of the inductor and the current amplitude is opposite to the current amplitude of the inductor, namely the impedance of the LC parallel connection part is large, the current can flow to the output end, and the band-pass filtering performance is realized. Fig. 15 shows an FSS formed by a metal square ring 7 as a periodic unit structure, wherein the outer side of the metal square ring 7 is smaller than the size of the periodic unit. Obviously, the metal square rings 7 can be equivalent to inductors, and the gaps between adjacent square metal rings can be regarded as capacitors, and the capacitors and the metal square rings form LC series resonance together. The lower the working frequency is, the larger the impedance of the capacitor is, and the smaller the impedance of the inductor is, so that when the incident electromagnetic wave works in a low frequency band, the current flows to the output end due to the larger impedance of the capacitor; when the incident electromagnetic wave works in a high-frequency band, the current flows to the output end due to the large impedance of the inductor; when the working frequency of the incident electromagnetic wave is equal to or close to the resonant frequency, the impedance of the inductor is equivalent to the impedance of the capacitor in terms of value, and at the moment, the current flows to the LC series circuit, so that the band elimination filtering performance is finally realized.

In this embodiment, the radiation layer 1 and the ground layer 3 may be connected to a radio frequency signal source by welding or bonding, so that the antenna radiates an electromagnetic wave signal or receives an electromagnetic wave signal through the radio frequency signal source. The radiation layer 1 radiates electromagnetic wave signals directionally. The antenna may be in the form of a microstrip patch antenna, a slot antenna, or the like.
