Definitions
- the present description relates generally to electronic devices and, more particularly, to devices using a radiofrequency communication or energy transfer antenna.
- More and more electronic devices are so-called “communicating” devices. For the most part, communication takes place by radio frequency, either passively (electronic label equipped only with passive components) or active (label or electronic device equipped with one or more active circuits).
- devices of the mobile phone type are more and more often equipped with a near field communication function (NFC - Near Field Communication) allowing electronic circuits of the telephone to communicate wirelessly and without contact with similar devices. , electronic labels, suitable readers, etc.
- the telephone is then generally equipped with a communication interface between an antenna and its circuits. This interface is generally called a radiofrequency head or a contactless (communication) head (CLF - Contact Less Front end).
- a radiofrequency head or a contactless (communication) head (CLF - Contact Less Front end).
- CMF contactless
- One or more antennas are then connected to this RF head for radio frequency communications.
- the integration of the antenna (or antennas) in the device conditions the performance of these. ci, therefore communication and / or energy transfer.
- the document US 2011/0068385 describes a semiconductor device.
- the document US2011 / 287715A1 describes an antenna formed of a plane winding, said antenna being placed opposite an opening formed in a conductive plane.
- One embodiment aims to overcome all or part of the drawbacks of electronic devices equipped with radiofrequency communication and / or energy transfer antenna (s).
- One embodiment aims to propose a new solution for integrating an antenna into an electronic device.
- One embodiment is aimed at a solution which is particularly suitable for an antenna intended to be connected to a radiofrequency communication head of an electronic device.
- One embodiment is aimed at a solution which is particularly suitable for the integration of an antenna in a metallic environment.
- one embodiment provides a device according to claim 1.
- the figure 1 represents, schematically and in the form of blocks, an example of the architecture of an electronic device of the type to which the embodiments which will be described apply.
- the electronic circuits 1 (ICs) of the device are capable of exchanging signals (link 12) with a radiofrequency transmission-reception head 2 (CLF) constituting an interface between these circuits 1 and an antenna 3.
- a matching network 4 (MATCHING), constituting a frequency tuning and impedance matching circuit, is interposed between the radiofrequency inputs-outputs 21 of the head 2 and the antenna 3.
- the antenna generally consists of a winding driver plan.
- a metal plate typically an element of a housing of the device such as the shell of a mobile phone.
- the figures 2A, 2B and 2C illustrate an example of a usual arrangement at the level of a metal plane 5 ′ of an electronic device.
- the figure 2A schematically represents the metal plane 5 '.
- the figure 2B represents an example of a flat conductive winding constituting the antenna 3.
- the figure 2C represents the equivalent electrical diagram of the assembly.
- the antenna 3 under the metal shell of the mobile telephone constituting the metal plane 5 '.
- the winding 3 is then placed, at least partially, inside an opening 52 'of the metallic plane to allow radiofrequency communication and to pass the field lines through the antenna.
- Advantage is taken of the presence of an opening generally present for other purposes, for example for an electronic camera, a microphone, a light sensor, etc.
- the two ends 32 and 34 of the winding 3 are connected to the matching network 4 ( figure 1 ). This connection is made by insulated wires and / or by conductive tracks deposited on an insulating layer (not shown) covering, at least partially, the internal face of the plate 5 ′.
- the figure 3 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of an antenna. This figure represents an equivalent diagram to be compared to the figure 2C .
- the antenna 3 is formed of a plane winding placed in an opening 52 of a metal plane 5. Unlike the figure 2C , the outline of the opening 52 is closed, that is to say that the opening 52 does not open into one of the edges of the plane 5. Another difference is that one of the ends, for example the outer end 34, of the winding forming the antenna 3 is connected to the metal plane 5 which is itself intended to be connected to the ground of the electronic device. In addition, the winding 3 is completely contained in the opening.
- the figure 4 schematically and partially shows an embodiment of an electronic device incorporating an antenna of the type of that of the figure 3 .
- the terminals Rx and the terminals Tx of the head 2 are intended to be connected to the ends of the winding of the antenna, by means of the matching network 4.
- This matching network 4 comprises at least one capacitive element in series between each Rx or Tx terminal and the end of the winding to which this terminal is to be connected.
- capacitors Cs are interposed between the terminals Tx and the ends 32 and 34 and capacitors Crx are interposed between the terminals Rx and the ends 32 and 34.
- a capacitive element Cp generally connects the ends 32 and 34 together. .
- the two ends 32 and 34 of the winding 3 are connected to the matching network 4 by insulated wires 42 and / or by conductive tracks deposited on an insulating layer (not shown) covering, at least partially, the internal face of the plate. 5.
- the figures 5A and 5B are schematic representations of two embodiments of an antenna 3.
- the figure 5A illustrates the embodiment of an antenna 3 in the form of a circular planar winding surrounded by a conductive section 5, also circular.
- the outer end of winding 3 is connected to section 5.
- the figure 5B illustrates the case of a flat conductive winding 3 of square shape, placed in an opening 52, itself of square shape, made in a metal plane 5.
- the internal end of the winding 3 is connected to the section 5.
- the figure 6 represents a variant of an embodiment of a matching network 4 ′ between an antenna 3 and a radiofrequency head. This is, for example, a case where the transmission and reception modes are each associated with a separate antenna.
- the network 4 'then comprises a capacitor Crx between each terminal Rx and the end 32 or 34 of the antenna to which the terminal is to be connected and a capacitor Cp connecting the two ends 32 and 34 of the antenna.
- the figure 7 is a view, to be compared to that of the figure 2A , a metal cover of an electronic device.
- the opening 52 (here circular), for example for an electronic camera, a microphone, a light sensor, etc., in which the antenna 3 is placed (not shown in figure 7 ) has a closed contour and does not open into one of the edges of the cover 5.
- the winding 3 has an external diameter or is part of a diameter between about 5 and about 20 mm and the center of the winding has a diameter or is part of a diameter included between 2 and 5 mm.
- One advantage of the embodiments described is that it is now possible to associate an antenna with a device equipped with a metal wall.
- Another advantage is that it is not necessary to interrupt the electrical continuity of such a metallic environment around the antenna, the latter now being able to be surrounded by a ground plane.
- An antenna of 6 mm in diameter inscribed in a square opening of 10 mm on the side has a back-modulation level 3 cm from the antenna of a test reader that is 3 to 4 times higher than the level obtained for the same antenna of which l The outer end of the winding is not connected to the ground plane.
- an antenna produced with a connection from one end to a ground plane is formed on the rear face (generally metallic) of a flat liquid crystal screen and connected to the ground thereof.
- the shape of the metallic plane surrounding the antenna and to which it is connected depends on the applications and on the shape of the electronic device in which the antenna is integrated.
- the shape of the opening made in the metal plane depends on the applications and different variants are possible provided that this opening is closed, that is to say that it does not open into one of the edges of the plane.
