Detailed Description
As described in the background art, since antenna structure has very limited antenna resources, the development of the antenna structure of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th generation mobile communication technology,5G) tends to be integrated and realize full-frequency coverage below 5G in order to reduce cost and save space. In this context, the antenna structure of the multi-frequency aperture shared antenna array becomes one of the better choices for implementing the convergence of the second-generation mobile communication technology (2th generation mobile communication technology,2G) to the fifth-generation mobile communication technology base station. However, there is strong mutual coupling between the radiating elements at different operating frequency bands in the above-mentioned related art antenna structure, thereby affecting the performance of the antenna structure. The reason for this problem is that, in this antenna structure, since the array structure is compact, the array units composed of the radiation units in different frequency bands are arranged in a staggered manner, and since the radiation surface of the high-frequency radiation unit is smaller than that of the low-frequency radiation unit, and the radiation surface of the high-frequency radiation unit is located below the radiation surface of the low-frequency radiation unit, the orthographic projection portion of the low-frequency radiation unit, which faces the high-frequency radiation unit, even completely shields the radiation surface of the high-frequency radiation unit, the high-frequency radiation unit is easily affected by the low-frequency radiation unit when radiating electromagnetic waves, so that strong mutual coupling between the radiation units working in different frequency bands can cause serious distortion of the pattern of the high-frequency radiation unit, broadband radiation and broadband out-of-band transmission of the antenna structure cannot be realized, and the performance of the antenna structure is affected.
In view of the above technical problems, embodiments of the present application provide an antenna structure and a communication device, in which a first radiation unit and a second radiation unit with different operating frequencies are disposed in the antenna structure, so that broadband radiation of the antenna structure can be achieved, and in which a plurality of first frequency selective surfaces are disposed on a first radiation unit with a lower radiation frequency in the antenna structure, so that electromagnetic waves emitted from the second radiation unit to the first radiation unit are transmitted from the first radiation unit, thereby avoiding interference of the first radiation unit with electromagnetic waves emitted from the second radiation unit, reducing the strength of mutual coupling between the first radiation unit and the second radiation unit, and enabling broadband out-of-band transmission of the antenna structure while having broadband radiation, and improving performance of the antenna structure.
In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more comprehensible, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
Referring to fig. 1, a first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an antenna structure 10, where the antenna structure 10 may include a first radiating element 110 and a second radiating element 120, and the first radiating element 110 and the second radiating element 120 may operate in different frequency bands, so that the antenna structure 10 may operate in two operating frequency bands, and the operating bandwidth of the antenna structure 10 is improved.
In some examples, the antenna structure may have a plurality of first radiating elements 110 and a plurality of second radiating elements 120 therein, and the number of first radiating elements 110 and the number of second radiating elements 120 may be the same. The plurality of first radiating elements 110 can form at least one first radiating array with respect to the first radiating elements 110, e.g., the plurality of first radiating elements 110 can form one first radiating array or two first radiating arrays. Similarly, the plurality of second radiating elements 120 can form at least one second radiating array with respect to the second radiating elements 120, e.g., the plurality of second radiating elements 120 can form one second radiating array or two second radiating arrays. By providing at least one first radiating array formed by a plurality of first radiating elements 110 in the antenna structure 10 and at least one second radiating array formed by a plurality of second radiating elements 120 in the antenna structure 10, the radiation intensity of the operating frequency band in which each of the first radiating elements 110 and the second radiating elements 120 in the antenna structure 10 is located can be improved.
Referring to fig. 1, in a specific implementation, the radiation frequency of the first radiation unit 110 is lower than the radiation frequency of the second radiation unit 120, the first radiation unit 110 and the second radiation unit 120 are spaced apart in the thickness direction of the second radiation unit 120 (e.g., the first radiation unit 110 and the second radiation unit 120 have a certain height in the height direction thereof in fig. 1), and since the radiation frequency of the first radiation unit 110 is lower than the radiation frequency of the second radiation unit 120, the radiation surface of the second radiation unit 120 is smaller than the radiation surface of the first radiation unit 110, and the second radiation unit 120 is located below the first radiation unit 110. In order to improve the integration level of the antenna structure 10, the first radiation unit 110 and the second radiation unit 120 may be arranged in such a manner that the first radiation unit 110 and the second radiation unit 120 are closely adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction, that is, the orthographic projection of the first radiation unit 110 toward the second radiation unit 120 is adjacent to the second radiation unit, or the second radiation unit 120 is arranged directly under or obliquely under the first radiation unit 110, that is, the orthographic projection of the first radiation unit 110 toward the second radiation unit 120 at least partially shields the second radiation unit 120. When the first radiation unit 110 and the second radiation unit 120 are disposed in a relatively concentrated manner, the first radiation unit 110 may interfere with or block the electromagnetic wave radiated by the second radiation unit 120 from propagating to the surrounding. And a plurality of first frequency selective surfaces 130 are disposed on the first radiation unit 110, and electromagnetic waves emitted from the second radiation unit 120 to the first radiation unit 110 can be transmitted through the first frequency selective surfaces 130, thereby reducing the influence of the first radiation unit 110 on the operation of the second radiation unit 120.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the patterns indicated by the reference symbol X in fig. 2 and 3 are patterns of the second radiating element 120 on the H-plane and the V-plane when the plurality of first frequency selective surfaces 130 are provided on the first radiating element 110, and the patterns indicated by the reference symbol Y in fig. 2 and 3 are patterns of the second radiating element 120 on the H-plane and the V-plane when the first frequency selective surfaces 130 are not provided on the first radiating element 110, so that it can be seen that the distortion degree of the patterns of the H-plane and the V-plane indicated by the reference symbol X is significantly smaller than the distortion degree of the patterns of the H-plane and the V-plane indicated by the reference symbol Y, and thus, the distortion degree of the patterns of the second radiating element 120 can be effectively reduced by providing the first frequency selective surfaces 130 on the first radiating element 110, so that the problem of strong mutual coupling between the first radiating element 110 and the second radiating element 120 can be reduced.
Referring to fig. 4, the return loss of the second radiation unit 120 when the first radiation unit 110 is provided with the first frequency selective surface 130 is as shown in fig. 4, L1 in fig. 4 is a return loss graph when the second radiation unit 120 is located below the first radiation unit 110 side, and as known from L1, the return loss of the second radiation unit 120 is less than-10 dB in the frequency range from 3GHz to 4GHz, that is, when the first radiation unit 110 is provided with the first frequency selective surface 130, and the second radiation unit 120 is located below the first radiation unit 110 side, the second radiation unit 120 exhibits better radiation performance, the shielding effect of the first radiation unit 110 on the second radiation unit 120 is reduced, and the radiation performance of the second radiation unit 120 is improved. In fig. 4, L2 is a graph of return loss when the second radiating element 120 is located directly under the first radiating element 110, and it is known from L2 that, in a frequency range from 3.2GHz to 3.9GHz, the return loss of the second radiating element 120 is less than-10 dB and can be as low as-35 dB, that is, when the first radiating element 110 is provided with the first frequency selecting surface 130, even if the second radiating element 120 is located directly under the first radiating element 110, the second radiating element 120 still exhibits good radiation performance, and thus, by providing the first frequency selecting surface 130 on the first radiating element 110, the influence of the first radiating element 110 on the second radiating element 120 can be significantly improved, and the radiation performance of the antenna structure 10 is improved.
Referring to fig. 5, the return loss of the first radiating element 110 when the first frequency selective surface 130 is disposed on the first radiating element 110 is as shown in fig. 5, in which fig. 5 is a return loss diagram of the first radiating element 110 with a cross dipole structure composed of dipole moments of positive 45 degrees and negative 45 degrees, L3 is a return loss curve of dipole moment of negative 45 degrees in the cross dipole, L4 is a return loss curve of dipole moment of positive 45 degrees in the cross dipole, and as can be seen from L3 and L4, the return loss of both dipole moments on the first radiating element 110 is lower than-10 dB in a wide range, for example, the return loss of the first radiating element 110 is lower than-10 dB in most of the operating frequencies in the frequency range of 1.5GHz to 3 GHz. It follows that the operation of the first radiating element 110 is not adversely affected by the provision of the first frequency selective surface 130 on the first radiating element 110.
It should be noted that, in the present application, the first frequency selective surface 130 can be etched on the first radiation unit 110 by etching, and the first frequency selective surface 130 and the first radiation unit 110 are formed as an integral structure. The first frequency selective surface 130 may also be attached to the first radiating element 110 by means of a metal patch. The plurality of first frequency selective surfaces 130 are uniformly distributed on the surface of the first radiation unit 110 in an array, two adjacent first frequency selective surfaces 130 can be connected with each other, and the first frequency selective surfaces 130 can be disposed on the whole area of the radiation surface of the first radiation unit 110, so as to reduce the influence of the area on the radiation surface of the first radiation unit 110, where the first frequency selective surfaces 130 are not disposed, on the electromagnetic wave radiated by the second radiation unit 120.
The embodiment of the application provides an antenna structure 10 and a communication device 100, wherein a first radiation unit 110 and a second radiation unit 120 with different working frequencies are arranged in the antenna structure 10, so that broadband radiation of the antenna structure 10 can be realized, and a plurality of first frequency selection surfaces 130 are arranged on the first radiation unit 110 with lower radiation frequency in the antenna structure 10, so that electromagnetic waves emitted by the second radiation unit 120 to the first radiation unit 110 are transmitted from the first radiation unit 110, thereby avoiding interference of the first radiation unit 110 with electromagnetic waves emitted by the second radiation unit 120, reducing the mutual coupling strength between the first radiation unit 110 and the second radiation unit 120, realizing broadband out-of-band transmission of the antenna structure 10 while broadband radiation is realized, and improving the performance of the antenna structure 10.
In some embodiments, the maximum dimension of the first frequency selective surface is λ, which is a wavelength corresponding to a center frequency of the resonant frequency of the second radiating element 120, which is one tenth or less. It is understood that the center frequency is the frequency corresponding to the resonance strongest point.
