Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to antennas, and particularly to an antenna device for a portable radio communication device, having receiver diversity.
  • An object of the present invention is thus to provide an antenna device for a portable radio communication device which size can be reduced without reduced performance.
  • an antenna device for a portable radio communication device, comprising a main radiating element and a diversity radiating element, wherein the main radiating element is tuned to a transmitting frequency band of the antenna device and is tuned to part of a receiving frequency band of the antenna device corresponding to the transmitting frequency band, and the diversity radiating element is tuned to part of the receiving frequency band, the size of the antenna device can be reduced without reduced performance.
  • the total antenna size is smaller, or could alternatively be made more efficient, than an original antenna.
  • the part of a receiving frequency band of the main radiating element is preferably closer to the transmitting frequency band compared to the part of the receiving frequency band of the diversity radiating element, whereby performance can be improved. Further, even when the part of a receiving frequency band of the main radiating element and the part of the receiving frequency band of the diversity radiating element are distinct apart and they together constitute not fully the receiving frequency band of the antenna device the size of the antenna device can be reduced compared to an original antenna.
  • the matching specification in band can be typically -6 dB, both for the Tx band and for the Rx band.
  • a matching of -6 dB means that about 1.2 dB power is lost due to mismatch losses.
  • the matching requirement for the Rx band can be significantly relaxed.
  • the preferred one to be used in an antenna device according to the present invention is Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC), where each antenna branch is scaled with an amplitude and phase in order to maximize the resulting Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
  • SNR Signal-to-noise ratio
  • MRC Maximum Ratio Combining
  • the resulting SNR is the sum of the incoming SNR:s.
  • the difference in performance is defined by the mismatch loss as described above.
  • antennas receiving fully correlated signals e.g. in an anechoic chamber which is useful for type approval testing in the lab.
  • the preferred way to utilize antenna diversity is to design the antennas to receive uncorrelated signals in a multi-path environment. In this case, the diversity gain would be even larger than described above.
  • the size of the antenna device can be further reduced without reduced performance, which matching preferably is arranged to be adaptively performed.
  • An antenna device for a portable radio communication device such as mobile phones, PDA, portable computers and similar devices, comprises a main radiating element 1 and a diversity radiating element 2.
  • the main radiating element 1 is arranged to be tuned 8 to the transmitting frequency band TX of an operating band of the antenna device, such as GSM900, and to partly match the corresponding receiving frequency band RX of the operating band of the antenna device.
  • the diversity radiating element 2 is arranged to be tuned 9 to partly match the corresponding receiving frequency band RX.
  • the main radiating element 1 would receive strongest signals in the lower part of the receiving frequency band RX of the antenna device and the diversity radiating element 2 would receive strongest signals in the upper part of the receiving frequency band TX of the antenna device.
  • the part 8 of the receiving frequency band RX covered by the main radiating element 1 and the part 9 of the receiving frequency band RX covered by the diversity radiating element 2 are preferably distinct apart, i.e. utilizing a relaxed S 11 requirement to reduce the size of the antenna device.
  • the total coverage of the receiving frequency band RX from the main radiating element 1 and the diversity radiating element 2 is thus not fulfilled, which however is compensated by the receiver diversity.
  • Signals transmitted from the antenna device go through the main radiating element 1 via a transmitter circuit 4 and a duplexer 3.
  • Signals received at the antenna device go through the main radiating element 1, the duplexer 3, and a receiver circuit 5 and is combined in a diversity combiner 7 with signals that go through the diversity radiating element 2 and its separate receiver circuit 6.
  • the diversity radiating element 2 is preferably positioned relatively near the main radiating element 1 in the portable radio communication device, such as at the same half of the portable radio communication device instead of opposing parts thereof.
  • This positioning gets the following advantages. By being positioned closer to RF circuits, that are typically placed in one shielded area of the portable radio communication device, there is no need for long RF transmission lines on the printed circuit board of the portable radio communication device. Also, metal covers can be used at all places where there is no antenna, and with both main antenna and diversity antenna in a tight area a larger portion of the portable radio communication device can be provided with a metal cover.
  • the main radiating element 1 is an active antenna element with adaptive matching 10, which adaptively tunes 11 the center 13 of the matching into the TX channel currently used, but which matching still partly covers the RX band.
  • Adaptive matching system for antennas uses a narrowband antenna element that is tuned to the specific channel used at the moment.
  • the tuning is optimized to the Tx channel, since it is straightforward to measure the matching for the Tx channel (reflected power meter). With only one antenna, it will be challenging to get the Rx performance in place. With a diversity receiving antenna the tuning of the Tx channel is more easy achieved by taking no or only little regard to the Rx channel for the main antenna, since this can be handled by the diversity receiving antenna.
  • the same principle with part of the receiving frequency band covered by a narrow band radiating element separate from the main radiating element covering part of the receiving frequency band and the transmitting band can be applied to multiple operating bands.
  • the main radiating element would thus be tuned to TX for e.g. GSM900 and GSM1800 and partly tuned to RX for GSM900 and GSM1800, whereas the diversity radiating element would be partly tuned to RX for GSM900 and GS1800.
