Description

The present invention relates to an antenna device, and more particularly, to an antenna device that improves heat dissipation performance and is easy to assemble by integrally including a filter and a clamshell performing a signal shielding function.

Wireless communication technology, for example, MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology, is a technology that uses multiple antennas to dramatically increase data transmission capacity, and the transmitter transmits different data through each transmit antenna, In the receiver, it is a spatial multiplexing technique that classifies transmitted data through appropriate signal processing.

Accordingly, as the number of transmit/receive antennas is simultaneously increased, channel capacity is increased, allowing more data to be transmitted. For example, in order to increase the number of antennas to 10, about 10 times the channel capacity is secured by using the same frequency band compared to the current single antenna system. In the case of a transceiver to which the MIMO technology is applied, as the number of antennas increases, the number of transmitters and filters also increases.

However, the antenna board 160 does not necessarily have to be installed separately into the lower antenna board 160A and the upper antenna board 160B, and it will be natural that it is also possible to be provided with a single antenna board 160 .

Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of RF power supply network related components (refer to reference numeral 140 in FIG. 6b) are mounted on one surface (lower surface in the drawing) of the PBA 130, and a plurality of filters ( 200) may be mounted.

Among the plurality of filters 200, the filters 200 provided at the rightmost and leftmost sides of each column are side supporters 250 provided with the same material as the clemshell part 240, which will be described later, as shown in FIG. 3 . can be installed and supported by

As shown in FIG. 3 , the side supporter 250 serves to support the installation of the filters 200 provided on the rightmost and leftmost sides of each row, and at the same time, the creme formed integrally with the filter 200 . By shielding the open side of the shell portion 240, it is possible to perform some of the same functions as the function of the crème shell portion 240.

When power is applied from the power supply unit assembly (hereinafter, referred to as 'PSU assembly') 170 provided on one side of the PBA 130, a plurality of RF power supply network-related components 140 are calibrated and fed control. And to perform frequency filtering, power may be input to the filter 200 side or control to receive an output from the filter 200 side.

Such a plurality of RF power supply network-related components 140 is expected to generate significant heat when power is driven, and thus, although not shown in the drawings, may be provided in direct thermal contact with the lower surface (other surface) of the receiving space of the main housing 10 . have. The heat transferred to the main housing 10 is transferred to an external space (preferably a rear space) through a plurality of heat dissipation fins (refer to reference numeral 15 in FIG. 1 ) integrally formed on the outer surface (one surface) of the main housing 10 . It can be easily dissipated.

On the other hand, the filter 200, as shown in FIG. 3, is disposed between the PBA 130 and the antenna boards 160A and 160B and is a filter device that performs frequency filtering, and the PBA 130 and the antenna board 160A. , 160B) through a predetermined electrical signal line established between the frequency filtering may be performed.

4 is a cross-sectional view showing the inside of the filter, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the filter and the PSU assembly stacked on one surface of the PBA.

First, a detailed configuration of the inside of the filter 200 will be described in more detail as follows. That is, the filter 200 is provided to be divided into a left cavity 233A or a right cavity 233B by a partition 239 in which at least one cavity 233 crosses the middle, as shown in FIG. 4 . The filter body 210 may include at least two or more resonance parts 232 protruding from the partition wall 239 into the left cavity 233A and the right cavity 233B, respectively. The resonant component 232 serves to tune to a frequency of a band desired by a designer by adjusting a gap with a frequency tuning screw (not shown). For reference, the frequency tuning screw is provided to cover the left cavity 233A, and a left filter tuning cover (not shown) provided between the left shield panel 220A to be described later and a right shield panel 220B to be described later and A plurality of pieces may be provided on the right filter tuning cover (not shown) provided between the .

Here, the filter 200 is a cavity (left cavity 233A) formed on the left among the cavities 233 of the filter body 210 , and includes a left shielding panel 220A that shields the opened left and the filter body 210 . ) may further include a right shielding panel 220B for shielding the opened right side as a cavity (right cavity 233B) formed on the right side of the cavity 2300 .

In order to shield the cavity 233 formed by the filter 200 and external noise (such as a signal due to electromagnetic waves), the filter body 210 forms an inner side (eg, a left cavity 233A and a right cavity 233B). the inner surface) may be provided to be plated in the form of a metal thin film, and the inner surfaces of the left shielding panel 220A and the right shielding panel 220B may also be provided to be plated in the form of a metal thin film.

The resonant component 232 provided in the filter body 210 has a resonant component 232 with the filter body 210 made of a conductive material via the resonator support 231 made of a non-conductive material. It is preferable not to come into direct contact.

On the other hand, a plurality of resonant parts 232 (for reference, in this embodiment consists of seven as referenced in FIG. 8 ) may be arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction in the drawing) of the filter body 210 . have. Here, the first resonant component group 232A among the plurality of resonant components 232 is disposed to be spaced apart from each other so as to form one layer layer adjacent to the PBA 130 side, and the second resonant component group 232A of the plurality of resonant components 232 . The resonant component group 232B may be stacked and spaced apart adjacent to the antenna board 160B to form a layer different from that of the first resonant component group 232A.

The arrangement design of the resonant component 232 in the cavity 233 of the filter body 210 is different from the conventional one, and the separation distance between each resonant component 232 is maximized, and the filter Differences in which two layers are formed in the filter body 210 to ensure a maximum separation distance between the inner surface of the main body 210 or the left shielding panel 220A and the right shielding panel 220B have

Therefore, the skirt characteristic (ie, Q value) in the cavity 233 of the filter body 210 increases and the insertion loss is reduced, so that the amount of heat generated in the cavity 233 can be significantly reduced. have A reduction in the amount of heat generated by the filter 200 may lead to an effect of improving filter performance.

In addition, the filter 200, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, spaced apart the filter body 210 from the other surface of the PBA 130, a Kremshell part for preventing signal leakage from the electrical signal line. 240 may be integrally formed with the filter body 210 .

The creme shell part 240 is an integral configuration positioned between the filter body part 210 of the filter 200 and the other surface of the PBA 130, and during the frequency filtering process made in the filter body part 210, the PBA 130. It serves to block the influence of electromagnetic waves from the electric components (eg, including the RF power supply network component 140 ) mounted on the , thereby guaranteeing the reliability of the filtering performance. Here, the crème shell unit 240 may be a shield cover for shielding a signal.

This is also different from the conventional antenna device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , and the crème shell unit 240 may be injection-molded integrally with the filter body unit 240 . Here, it is natural that a material that can easily block electromagnetic waves or the like may be coated or plated on the outer or inner surface of the crème shell unit 240 , like the filter 200 described above.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 , at least two divided hollow portions 236 and 237 are formed in the creme shell portion 240 , and any one 236 of the hollow portions 236 and 237 has the filter body of the filter 200 . A signal input line 234 for inputting a signal to the cavity 233 side of the part 210 is provided, and the other one 237 of the hollow parts 236 and 237 has a cavity ( 233), a signal output line 235 for outputting a signal may be provided.

The signal input line 234 and the signal output line 235 are provided in the form of a plate of a conductive material, and one end is bent to be mounted or contacted on the other surface of the PBA 130 , and the other end is the filter body part 210 . It may be provided to conduct electricity with the cavity 233 side of the .

Power supplied from the PSU assembly 170, as shown in FIG. 5, is arranged to cross between the plurality of filters 200, and at least one power line (pin-coupled to the other surface of the PBA 130) ( 80) can be distributed. The power line 80 may be pin-coupled to multiple locations on one surface of the PBA 130 .

6A and 6B are partially exploded perspective views of FIG. 3, and are downward and upward exploded perspective views, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view and a partially enlarged view showing one side of the PBA among the configuration of the antenna device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. is a partially cut-away perspective view of the filter installed on one surface of the PBA of FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 is a perspective view and a partially enlarged view showing the installation of the filter and the side support for the positioning groove formed on one surface of the PBA of FIG. 10B is a perspective view showing one side and the other side of the filter of FIG. 9 in more detail.

6A to 7 , on the other surface of the PBA 130 , a crème shell seating groove 131 into which the end 241 of the crème shell unit 240 is inserted may be engraved in the form of a groove.

Here, the crème shell seating groove 131 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the end 241 of the crème shell part 240 so that the tip of the crème shell part 240 is inserted and contacted, and the other surface of the PBA 130 is engraved. desirable.

The reason for forming the engraving processing on the other surface of the PBA 130 in this way is, as will be described later, the cavity 233 generated by driving the filter 200 through the crème shell portion 240 provided with a thermally conductive material. This is to minimize the thickness direction length of the heat transfer bridge hole 133, which plays a key role in heat transfer to the PBA 130 side. That is, since the crème shell seating groove 131 is engraved on the other surface of the PBA 130 , the overall thickness of the PBA 130 is reduced by the depth of the crème shell seating groove 131 , thereby reducing the heat conduction length.

Here, the crème shell seating groove 131 is provided so that the end 241 of the crème shell part 240 formed integrally with the filter body 210 of the filter 200 is inserted, and the individual filter 200 is installed. It can also perform the role of setting the location at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to provide an advantage of greatly shortening the assembly time when mounting and assembling the filter 200 on the other surface of the PBA 130 .

More specifically, the crème shell seating groove 131 has a 'U'-shaped cross section so that the front end surface of the crème shell part 240 is seated, and a part of the side part adjacent to the front end surface of the crème shell part 240 is in contact. may be formed to have

The width of the crème shell seating groove 131 is formed to be greater than the thickness of one end of the crème shell portion 240 so that at least a part of one end of the crème shell portion 240 is inserted, and the depth of the crème shell seating groove 131 is PBA It is preferable to have a size that does not completely penetrate the 130 .

On the other hand, in the PBA 130, the heat transferred from the crème shell unit 240 is transferred from the other surface side of the PBA 130 to the one surface side (ie, from the upper surface to the lower surface in the drawing). Heat transfer bridge hole (Heat transfer bridge hole) 133 may be processed. The heat transfer bridge hole 133 may be formed to completely penetrate one surface and the other surface of the PBA 130 .

Here, the heat transfer bridge hole 133 is preferably formed so as to penetrate the PBA 130 at a plurality of locations of the bottom surface of the crème shell seating groove 131 . That is, the heat transfer bridge hole 133, as described above, transfers heat generated from the cavity 233 of the filter body 210 of the filter 200 to one side of the PBA 130 via the Kremshell portion 240. It is advantageous for heat conduction to be formed at a position that minimizes the thickness of the PBA 130 , which serves to transfer the bar. Accordingly, the heat transfer bridge hole 133 is preferably formed in the bottom surface of the crème shell seating groove 131 engraved in advance in the direction in which the thickness is reduced in the PBA 130 .

In addition, a thermally conductive material may be plated on one surface of the crème shell seating groove 131 and the heat transfer bridge hole 133 and the PBA 130 .

In general, the material of the PCB including the PBA 130 is FR4, and is made of a low thermal conductivity or non-conductive material. Therefore, since the PBA 130 itself is not suitable for heat conduction, plating is formed so that the entire surface of the crème shell seating groove 131, which is the portion in contact with the end 241 of the crème shell portion 240, is formed with a thermally conductive material to be coated. This is preferable.

In addition, a thermally conductive material is coated on the inner surface of the heat transfer bridge hole 133 so that the heat transferred to the crème shell seating groove 131 is transferred to one side of the PBA 130 through the heat transfer bridge hole 133 without interruption. can

After easily receiving heat from the end 241 of the crème shell portion 240 inserted into the crème shell seating groove 131, which is a portion corresponding to the other surface of the PBA 130, one surface and the other surface of the PBA 130 are penetrated. The entire inner peripheral surface of the heat transfer bridge hole 133 and at least a portion of one surface of the PBA 130 are plated with a thermally conductive material to form a heat transfer path, thereby achieving a more improved heat dissipation effect.

In this way, the crème shell portion 240 inserted into the crème shell seating groove 131 formed on the other surface of the PBA 130 may extend from one end of the filter body 210 and be fixed to the other surface of the PBA 130 . .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8 , each of the plurality of filters 200 is formed at one end and the other end in the longitudinal direction of the filter body 210 , respectively, and a heat flow hole passes through the filter body 210 . 217 may be formed.

The heat flow hole 217 is formed to match the heat transfer bridge hole 133, so that the air on the other side of the PBA 130 can escape to the one side of the PBA 130, the filter 200 itself In addition to the generated heat, it is possible to discharge the high temperature air on the other side of the PBA 130 to the one side of the PBA 130 .

On the other hand, on the other surface of the filter body 210 of the filter 200, at least one RF connector 238 connected to one surface (lower surface in the drawing) of the antenna boards 160A and 160B, as shown in FIG. 10A . may further include.

The RF connector 238 absorbs the assembly tolerance between the antenna board 160 and the PBA 130 and at the same time builds a predetermined electrical signal line when the antenna board 160 that is secondarily stacked and coupled is in close contact. perform the role

The filter 200 having the above configuration is, as shown in FIG. 9, sequentially seated in a plurality of pre-processed crème shell seating grooves 131 on the other surface of the PBA 130, followed by a soldering method. It can be fixed in a variety of ways.

At this time, the plurality of crème shell seating grooves 131 are formed to correspond to the shape of the one end 241 of the crème shell portion 240 integrally formed at one end of the individual filter 200, and the positioning of the bar when assembling. Since it performs the function, it has the advantage of shortening the assembly time.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B , the heat generated from the cavities 233 partitioned by the partition wall 239 is transferred to the crème shell seating groove 131 via the crème shell part 240 , The heat dissipation performance may be greatly improved by being easily discharged to one side of the PBA 130 through the heat transfer bridge hole 133 .

In particular, the applicant of the present invention, in the antenna device according to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to confirm the heat dissipation performance according to the heat transfer bridge hole 133, the "Background of the Invention" already described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 As a comparative example, the separable structure of the "technology to become Although the temperature of the TR module) was further improved at a minimum of 4.0 °C to a maximum of 5.8 °C, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of a specific heating component (Main TR module) was further improved by a minimum of 4.5 °C to a maximum of 6.9 °C was shown.

This is the other side of the PBA 130 corresponding to the side of the Kremshell part 240 through the heat transfer bridge hole 133, while the contact thermal resistance is reduced compared to the detachable structure in which the antenna device according to an embodiment of the present invention is a comparative example. It is interpreted that this is because the heat condensed on the side is effectively conducted to one side of the PBA 130 through the heat transfer bridge hole 133 and radiated heat.

11A to 11C are an assembly view and an enlarged view showing a filter installation process on one surface of the PBA.

The assembly process of the antenna device according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be briefly described with reference to the accompanying drawings (in particular, FIGS. 11A to 11C ).

First, as shown in FIG. 11a , other electrical components 137 , 138 , and 139 are mounted on the inner plane 132 of the crème shell seating groove 131 formed on the other side of the PBA 130 , and then, as shown in FIG. 11b . Similarly, the side supporter 250 fixed to the left or right end of the PBA 130 to support the crème shell unit 240 is fixed to fit inside the pre-processed crème shell seating groove 131 . However, the side supporter 250 does not necessarily have to be installed on the other surface of the PBA 130 before the filter body 210 is fixed, and may be installed after the filter body 210 is fixed.
