Abstract
An antenna structure is disclosed. An antenna structure according to the present invention includes an antenna pattern having an inner side surface and an outer side surface and having a through hole penetrating the inner side surface and the outer side surface, at least a portion of which is formed on an outer surface of the base, And a pogo pin passing through the through hole and having an outer circumferential surface in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the insert nut and one end of which is electrically connected to the antenna pattern.
Description
The present invention relates to an antenna structure, and more particularly, to an antenna structure having a pogo pin connected to a circuit of a device on which the antenna structure is mounted.
2. Description of the Related Art Recently, the shape of an antenna structure mounted on a wireless communication device has been changed in accordance with the trend of multi-function and thinness of a wireless communication device such as a smart phone. In the initial wireless communication device, the antenna structure protruding outside the device was mounted, but the device was then mounted inside the device.
In the conventional antenna structure, a metal plate formed in an antenna pattern shape is coupled to a base. In recent years, a method of implementing an antenna pattern by selective plating on a base is used. As the selective plating method, a double injection method and an LDS (Laser Direct Structuring) method are generally used.
In this selective plating type antenna structure, an antenna pattern is implemented outside the base, and the antenna pattern is electrically connected to the circuit of the device located inside the base. Conventionally, a side turn method or a through hole method is used to electrically connect an antenna pattern to a circuit of a device.
An embodiment of the side turnover system is shown in Fig. In the side turnover method, the contact pattern extending from the antenna pattern formed on the outer side surface extends through the side surface of the base to the inner side. The contact pattern extending to the inner side is electrically connected to the circuit of the device.
However, the side turnover method has a disadvantage in that the contact pattern implemented on the side passes through the mold-joined portion which is in contact with the housing of the device, and thus, there is a high possibility of failure during the process.
An embodiment of the through hole method is shown in Fig. The through hole method forms a through hole passing through the outer side surface and the inner side surface of the base, and forms a conductor pattern on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole. The conductor pattern electrically connects the antenna pattern on the outer surface of the base and the contact terminal on the inner surface.
However, in the through hole method, the hole penetrating through the base must be formed, so that the structure of the metal mold becomes complicated, and the risk of disconnection of the antenna pattern and the conductor pattern on the inner circumferential surface of the through hole is high. In addition, through holes may be a problem in implementing a waterproof device.
