Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an antenna unit which is formed by combining a radiator having low conductor loss and a printed board with each other, and more particularly, it relates to an antenna unit which is suitably applied to a mobile communication device, for example.
  • An antenna unit must have excellent characteristics such as the gain and reflection loss, while further miniaturization is required for an antenna which is applied to a mobile communication device.
  • an inverted-F antenna unit is known as a miniature antenna which is applied to a mobile communication device.
  • an inverted-F antenna unit 1 has a ground plate 2 which is connected to an earth potential, and a radiating plate 3, consisting of a metal plate, which is arranged above the ground plate 2 in parallel with the same.
  • the radiating plate 3 is adapted to radiate electric waves.
  • a short pin 4 is integrally formed on the radiating plate 3, to extend from its side edge toward the ground plate 2. This short pin 4 is electrically connected to the ground plate 2.
  • the ground plate 2 is provided with a coaxial cable connecting part 2a, which is connected with a coaxial cable or a coaxial connector for feeding the radiating plate 3.
  • Fig. 1 typically illustrates the inverted-F antenna unit
  • the coaxial connector or the coaxial cable must inevitably project from a major surface of the printed circuit board which is opposite to that provided with the antenna unit 1, to extremely hinder the antenna unit 1 from miniaturization.
  • the inverted-F antenna unit 1 further, its gain is varied with the size of the radiating plate 3. In other words, the gain of the inverted-F antenna unit 1 is reduced as the size of the radiating plate 3 is reduced.
  • the radiating plate 3 is sized to be not more than about 1/10 of the wavelength of its resonance frequency in the inverted-F antenna unit 1 which is applied to a mobile communication device, it is impossible to attain a sufficient gain. Namely, it is extremely difficult to implement a miniature antenna unit having a high gain with the conventional inverted-F antenna unit 1.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an antenna unit which can attain a high gain with a small size, and is easy to mount.
  • an antenna unit comprising a substrate, a radiator, consisting of a material having a low conductor loss, which is mounted on the substrate and provided with a flat plate type radiating part as well as a feed terminal, a ground terminal and an electrostatic capacitance connecting terminal extending from side edges of the radiating part toward the substrate to be mounted on the substrate, and a capacitor which is connected between the capacitance connecting terminal and a ground potential.
  • the inventive antenna unit is structured in such a state that the radiator is mounted on the substrate.
  • the feed terminal, the ground terminal and the electrostatic capacitance connecting terminal of the radiator are mounted on the substrate, thereby mounting the radiator on the substrate.
  • the substrate is formed by a printed circuit board which is generally employed for mounting an antenna unit, therefore, the feed terminal, the ground terminal and the electrostatic capacitance connecting terminal can be mounted through electrodes provided on the printed circuit board or holes formed in the printed circuit board.
  • the antenna unit is not fed through a coaxial connector or a coaxial cable.
  • the capacitor is connected between the radiating part and the ground potential through the capacitance connecting terminal. Electrostatic capacitance developed by this capacitor is inserted in series with distributed inductance of the radiating part, whereby the resonance frequency of the antenna unit is reduced by the capacitor. Thus, it is possible to provide a further miniaturized antenna unit having a high gain.
  • the feed terminal and the ground terminal extend from the side edge of the radiating part toward the substrate so that the distributed inductance value of a portion which is connected from the radiating part to the ground potential through the ground terminal can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the feed terminal and the ground terminal.
  • the capacitor which is connected to the capacitance connecting terminal can be formed in various modes.
  • it is possible to form the capacitor by employing at least a partial layer of the substrate as a dielectric layer.
  • Such a structure can be implemented by forming a capacitance deriving electrode on one major surface of the substrate while forming a ground electrode on another major surface to be opposed to the capacitance deriving electrode, or forming at least one of a capacitance deriving electrode and a ground electrode, which is arranged to be opposed to the capacitance deriving electrode through a partial layer of the substrate, in the substrate, for example.
  • the capacitor can be formed by a capacitor element which is mounted on the substrate. Further, it is also possible to form the capacitor by a structure of interposing a dielectric layer between a pair of electrodes which are formed on the substrate.
  • the capacitor which is connected to the capacitance connecting terminal in various modes, which can be properly selected in response to the capacitance value required for the capacitor connected to the radiator in the inventive antenna unit.
  • the aforementioned capacitor which is formed by employing at least a partial layer of the substrate as a dielectric layer is preferable and there is no need to prepare a capacitor element as an independent component in this case. Namely, an operation of preparing a capacitor element as an independent component and mounting the same on the substrate can be omitted to simplify the mounting operation.
  • the aforementioned substrate has a plurality of terminal insertion holes, so that the feed terminal, the ground terminal and the capacitance connecting terminal are inserted in the terminal insertion holes respectively to fix the radiator to the substrate.
  • a feed electrode, a ground electrode and an electrode land are formed on the aforementioned substrate, while the feed terminal, the ground terminal and the capacitance connecting terminal of the radiator have bonding portions which are bent in parallel with the substrate on forward ends thereof respectively.
  • the bonding portions of the feed terminal, the ground terminal and the capacitance connecting terminal are bonded to the feed electrode, the ground electrode and the electrode land which are formed on the substrate respectively.
  • the radiator according to the present invention can be fixed to the substrate in various modes as hereinabove described, the substrate may not be provided with a coaxial connecting part for feeding, and it is possible to implement a mounting structure for the antenna with no requirement for a coaxial connector or a coaxial cable.
  • the material having low conductor loss for forming the radiator can be prepared from a metal material such as copper or a copper alloy, for example, while this material is not particularly restricted so far as the same can attain conductor loss which is similar to that of the metal material.

  • This radiator 11 is provided with a radiating part 12 having a rectangular plane shape.
  • the radiating part 12 is adapted to transmit/receive electric waves.
  • One shorter side edge of the radiating part 12 is downwardly bent along its overall width to form a bent part 13.
  • a narrow feed terminal 14 and a narrow ground terminal 15 are integrally formed on a forward end of the bent part 13.
  • the feed terminal 14 and the ground terminal 15 are inserted in insertion holes of a printed circuit board as described later, whereby it is possible to decide the space between the radiating part 12 and an upper surface of the printed circuit board by deciding the position of a lower end 13a of the bent part 13.
  • the other shorter side edge is also downwardly bent along its overall width to form a bent part 16.
  • a narrow capacitance connecting terminal 17 is integrally formed on a forward end of the bent part 16.
  • both longer side edges of the radiating part 12 are downwardly bent to form reinforcing members 18a and 18b. These reinforcing members 18a and 18b are adapted to improve mechanical strength of the radiator 11.
  • the radiator 11 is mounted on a printed circuit board 19, through insertion holes 19a to 19c which are provided in the printed circuit board 19.
  • the printed circuit board 19 is provided with the insertion hole 19a for receiving the feed terminal 14, the insertion hole 19b for receiving the ground terminal 15, and the insertion hole 19c for receiving the capacitance connecting terminal 17 respectively.
  • the feed terminal 14, the ground terminal 15 and the capacitance connecting terminal 17 are inserted in the insertion holes 19a, 19b and 19c respectively, thereby positioning the radiator 11 on the printed circuit board 19 as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B.
  • this insertion is stopped at a position where the lower end 13a of the bent part 13 is in contact with the upper surface of the printed circuit board 19.
  • a ground electrode 20 is formed on a lower surface of the printed circuit board 19. This ground electrode 20 is electrically connected to the ground terminal 15, which is inserted in the insertion hole 19b, by solder 21.
  • a feed electrode 22 is formed on the upper surface of the printed circuit board 19. This feed electrode 22 is electrically connected to the feed terminal 14, which is inserted in the insertion hole 19a, by solder 23.
  • a capacitance deriving electrode 25 is formed in the printed circuit board 19, to be opposed to the ground electrode 20 through a partial layer 24 of the printed circuit board 19. The capacitance deriving electrode 25 is formed to be exposed into the insertion hole 19c, and electrically connected to the capacitance connecting terminal 17 by solder 26 which is injected in the insertion hole 19c.
  • the antenna unit 27 by simply preparing the radiator 11 and the printed circuit board 19 and carrying out the aforementioned fixing operation.
  • no coaxial connector or coaxial cable is employed and hence the lower surface of the printed circuit board 19 can be simplified in structure.
  • the mounting operation can also be easily carried out since the radiator 11 may simply be mounted on the printed circuit board 19 in the aforementioned manner.
  • Fig. 4 shows an equivalent circuit of the antenna unit 27 according to this embodiment.
  • numeral 14 represents the feed terminal
  • symbol L1 represents distributed inductance of the radiator 11
  • symbol L2 represents distributed inductance of a portion which is connected from the radiating part 12 to the ground electrode 20 of the printed circuit board 19 through the ground terminal 15.
  • This distributed inductance L2 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the feed terminal 14 and the ground terminal 15. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the ratio of the inductance L1 to the inductance L2 by adjusting the distance between the feed terminal 14 and the ground terminal 15, thereby easily attaining impedance matching with a peripheral circuit.
  • the capacitance deriving electrode 25 and the ground electrode 20 are stacked with each other through the substrate layer 24 which is a dielectric layer, to form a capacitor. Therefore, a capacitor C1 shown in Fig. 4 is connected between the radiator 11 and an earth potential. Thus, the resonance frequency of the antenna unit 27 is reduced by electrostatic capacitance of the capacitor C1, whereby it is possible to form a further miniaturized antenna unit.
  • Fig. 5 shows a directional pattern of the antenna unit 27 according to this embodiment.
  • the directional pattern shown in Fig. 5 is that of a sample of the antenna unit 27 having the radiating part 12 of 10 mm in length and 6.3 mm in width with a height of 4 mm between the radiating part 12 and the printed circuit board 19 shown in Figs. 3A and 3B and a resonance frequency of 1.9 GHz.
  • the maximum gain of -2 dB was attained in this sample, and hence it is possible to implement a substantially omnidirectional antenna unit.
  • the aforementioned dimensions are about 1/16 of the wavelength of electric waves transmitted/received in the largest portion, and hence it is understood possible to remarkably reduce the overall dimensions as compared with the conventional inverted-F antenna unit.
  • Fig. 6 is a perspective view for illustrating an antenna unit according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the antenna unit according to the second embodiment has a radiator 31, which is substantially similar in structure to the radiator 11 employed for the antenna unit 27 according to the first embodiment.

  • a bonding part 37a which is bent in parallel with the substrate surface of the printed circuit board 32 is also formed on a forward end of the capacitance coupling terminal 37 which is provided on the bent part 16.
