Description

An Embedded Antenna For A Mobile Terminal Technical Field The present invention relates to an embedded antenna for a mobile terminal, particularly to an embedded antenna for a terminal of a GSM/DCS dual frequency mobile communication system.

Background Art Along with the rapid development and widespread application of mobile communication technology, mobile telephones tend to be much more compact, to support multi-mode (to be compatible to GSM900/DCS1800, PCS, IS-95 and future 3G systems), and to be of higher performance.

For manufacturers of the mobile terminals, the radio frequency (RF) part, the base band part and the digital signal processing (DSP) part of a mobile terminal have so far been implemented at a high level integration, which strongly facilitate the reduction of size and cost of mobile terminals. However, the antenna part as well as its'feed part of a mobile terminal, have progressed slowly for their performance and size having been limited by the terminal structure, fixed positions of electronic component, and characteristics of material of the terminal housing. Thus the integration level of the antenna of the mobile terminal is still relatively low and the cost is still relatively high, thereby restricting the further development of the mobile terminal. Due to the combination of the mobile communication and computer networks the problem will be more serious in the future mobile terminal supporting multi-mode.

On the other hand, as people increasingly realize that the mobile terminal's electromagnetic radiation may impose the damage on a human body, users are intensively demanding a mobile terminal with a low electromagnetic radiation without degrading its existing performance. With respect to external antenna technologies widely used in the mobile terminals, it is typical to adopt an antenna or its combination that is symmetric in structure and radiating directions. Consequently, it is impossible to meet the above-mentioned requirements of the users.

Embedded antennas have been developed under this circumstance. Using the embedded antennas, a mobile terminal may have a more flexibility in shape design and smaller size, a lower signal absorption ratio (SAR), and a higher peak gain, and among other things, an embedded antenna can be used to implement an antenna array with a

relatively small size. It can be envisioned that the embedded antenna represents a future development direction of mobile terminal antennas.

However, all the existing planar embedded antennas have been designed within a two-dimensional plane. Since such designs have only two dimensions for extension, there are some disadvantages as follows : 1. the antenna is too large to be applicable to the minimized mobile terminals (such as pocket handsets) whose sizes are greatly restricted; 2. the embedded antenna needs a support or be attached to a housing for its installation, thereby causing increasing of production cost and degrading of reliability and maintainability ; 3. the electrical characteristics are relatively poor, for example, the in-band Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is too high, which reduces the efficiency of the antenna and increase the power reflection of the handset.

Summary of the Invention In order to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art as described above, it is an object of the invention to provide an embedded antenna for a mobile terminal with a three-dimensional structure.

In one aspect of the invention, there provides an embedded antenna for a mobile terminal, comprising a conductor unit, including a print-circuit-board (PCB), and having a

metal-layer-stripped region formed on the top of the conductor unit ; an antenna unit, including another PCB, being vertically connected to the metal-layer-stripped region on top of the conductor unit, and having a ground pin and a feed pin to be connected to circuits within the mobile terminal ; a parasitic unit, with one side being attached to the antenna unit, and another side being apart from and in parallel to the antenna unit.

Further more, the antenna unit may be substantially rectangular, and have a first long edge connected to the conductor unit, a second long edge opposite to the first one and being apart from the conductor unit, and a first and a second short edge opposite to each other; wherein the antenna unit has a C-shaped etched region in the middle of a second surface, where the opening of the C shape is directed to the second short edge, the etched region begins from the middle of second long edge of the antenna unit, extends towards the first long edge and then towards the first short edge, extends once again towards the first long edge and then towards the second short edge, and finally protrudes

towards the second long edge at its rear end.

According to another aspect of the invention, there provides a mobile terminal having an antenna as described above, wherein said mobile terminal comprises a grounding board to be used as a conductor unit.

Description of preferred embodiments The invention will be described in detail according to the embodiments of the invention in connection with the accompany drawings.

Figure 1 is a front view of an embedded antenna for a mobile terminal in the mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 2 is a left side view of the embedded antenna as shown in figure 1. As shown in figures 1 and 2, the embedded antenna according to the invention is composed of three parts: a conductor unit 101, an antenna unit 102 and a parasitic unit 103 of the antenna.

The conductor unit 101 is a rectangular PCB with a metal-layer-stripped region 111 on its top. The antenna unit 102 is a PCB vertically connected to the metal-layer-stripped region 111 on top of the conductor unit 101. The parasitic unit 103 is a sheet of conductive material having certain strength, such as a metal sheet. The parasitic unit 103 is fixed on the right side of the antenna unit 102 and connected to the upper surface of the antenna unit 102. The parasitic unit 103 extends from the right edge of the antenna unit 102 and then is bended at right-angle in twice, and finally extends in parallel to and without contacting the bottom surface of the antenna unit 102.

The conductor unit 101 may be a grounding board of the mobile terminal rather than a separate PCB, so that the size of the mobile terminal can be reduced greatly. The antenna unit 102 is a PCB with copper coated on its both sides, and has three conductive strips printed on its upper surface.

Figure 3 is an bottom view of an antenna unit 102 of an embedded antenna of a mobile terminal in the mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the invention. On a long side of the antenna unit 102 closing to the conductor unit 101, there are three pins, namely a ground pin 204, a feed pin 205 and a support pin 206. The

ground pin 204 is connected to the ground of the mobile terminal; the feed pin 205 is connected to the internal circuit of the mobile terminal for receiving and transmitting signals. These three pins are connected respectively to the three conductive strips 207, 208 and 209 (as indicated by the broken lines in figure 3) on the upper surface. As shown in figure 3, the conductive strip 207 connected to the ground pin 204 is connected to the grounding point 201 on the bottom surface of the antenna unit 102, via a metalized grounding hole penetrating both sides of the antenna unit 102; the conductive strip 208 connected to the feed pin 205 is connected to the feeding point 202 on the bottom surface of the antenna unit 102, via a metalized feeding hole penetrating both sides of the antenna unit 102.

As shown in figure 3, there is a C-shaped etched region 211 in the middle of the bottom surface of the antenna unit 102. The etched region 211 begins from the middle of a long edge of the antenna unit 102, which is opposite to the conductor unit 101. The etched region 211 extends firstly downwards and then towards left, extends downwards again and then towards right, and finally protrudes at its rear end towards the long edge opposite to the conductor unit 101.

Figure 4 is a front view of an antenna unit and a parasitic unit of an embedded antenna according to the embodiment of the invention. As shown in figure 4, the parasitic unit 103 contacts with the upper surface of the antenna unit 102, goes along the right edge of the antenna unit 102 with two right-angle bends, and then extends in a way that is apart from and in parallel to the bottom surface of the antenna unit 102.

The principle of the embedded antenna according to the invention will now be described. Three parts of the embedded antenna, namely the conductor unit 101, the antenna unit 102 and the parasitic unit 103, work together to perform a conversion between the electromagnetic wave and the high-frequency current.

The conductor unit 101 is designed to form, together with the antenna unit 102 and the parasitic unit 103, an open structure for converting the electromagnetic wave and the high-frequency current, and to facilitate the directionality of the electromagnetic wave's emission/reception of the antenna unit 102 and the parasitic unit 103.

The etched pattern on the bottom surface of the antenna unit 102 forms two electromagnetic resonator connected in parallel, for selecting the frequency of a carrier signal. These resonators are designed to meet the bandwidth requirements of GSM900 and DCS1800, and have low loss. The join point of two resonators is located at the feeding

point 202, a common feeding point shared by them.

Figure 5 is a principle diagram of an antenna unit. As shown in figure 5, there are two open circuits of different lengths on both sides of the feeding point 202. Between the two segments of the conductive strip divided by the feeding point 202, it assumes that the longer segment LA is of length La, and the short segment LB is of length Lb. For the two resonators being operative on the frequency bands of GSM900 and DCS1800 respectively, their geometric shapes should meet the following requirement: the lengths of their geometric shapes should meet the resonator criterion, i. e. 1/4 waveguide wavelength criterion. Therefore, La and Lb should meet:

where La, 1, e rei are respectively the length of the segment LA, the working wave length of GSM900, and the effective dielectric capacity of the dielectric below the segment LA; Lb, X 2, s re2 are respectively the length of the segment LB, the working wave length of DCS1800, and the effective dielectric capacity of the dielectric below the segment LB.

As described above, two electromagnetic resonant loops are formed on the antenna unit 102, i. e. LA and LB, respectively syntonizing on two working frequency bands (GSM900/DCS1800). However, the high-frequency current occurring on the low-frequency end (GSM900 frequency band) presents a higher reactance at the feeding point of the antenna unit 102. Accordingly, the antenna's standing wave ratio is high on the GSM900 frequency band as a result the radiation efficiency of the embedded antenna is low on this frequency band. The invention solves this problem by using the parasitic unit 103 of the embedded antenna.

The invention will be further described in connection with an embodiment.
