Description
本發明涉及通信領域,特別是涉及一種雙頻天線、MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put)天線裝置及2.4GHz/5.8GHz雙頻無線通訊裝置。 The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a dual-band antenna, a MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put) antenna device, and a 2.4 GHz/5.8 GHz dual-band wireless communication device.
隨著半導體製程的高度發展,對當今的電子系統集成度提出了越來越高的要求,器件的小型化成為了整個產業非常關注的技術問題。然而,不同於IC晶片遵循“摩爾定律”的發展,作為電子系統的另外重要組成-射頻模塊,卻面臨著器件小型化的高難度技術挑戰。射頻模塊主要包括了混頻、功放、濾波、射頻信號傳輸、匹配網絡與天線等主要器件。其中,天線作為最終射頻信號的輻射單元和接收器件,其工作特性將直接影響整個電子系統的工作性能。然而天線的尺寸、帶寬、增益等重要指標卻受到了基本物理原理的限制(固定尺寸下的增益極限、帶寬極限等)。這些指標極限的基本原理使得天線的小型化技術難度遠遠超過了其它器件,而由於射頻器件的電磁場分析的複雜性,逼近這些極限值都成為了巨大的技術挑戰。比如,傳統的終端通信天線主要基於電單極子或偶極子的輻射原理進行設計,最常用的平面反F天線(PIFA)。傳統天線的輻射工作頻率直接和天線的尺寸正相關,帶寬和天線的面積正相關,使得天線的設計通常需要半波長的物理長度。 With the rapid development of semiconductor manufacturing, higher and higher requirements have been placed on the integration of electronic systems today, and the miniaturization of devices has become a technical issue of great concern to the entire industry. However, unlike IC chips that follow the development of Moore's Law, RF modules, another important component of electronic systems, face the difficult technical challenges of miniaturization of devices. The RF module mainly includes main components such as mixing, power amplifier, filtering, RF signal transmission, matching network and antenna. Among them, the antenna acts as the radiating unit and receiving device of the final RF signal, and its working characteristics will directly affect the working performance of the entire electronic system. However, important dimensions such as antenna size, bandwidth, and gain are limited by basic physical principles (gain limit, bandwidth limit, etc. at fixed size). The basic principle of the limits of these indicators makes the antenna miniaturization technology far more difficult than other devices, and due to the complexity of the electromagnetic field analysis of RF devices, approaching these limits has become a huge technical challenge. For example, the traditional terminal communication antenna is mainly designed based on the radiation principle of electric monopole or dipole, and the most commonly used planar anti-F antenna (PIFA). The radiated operating frequency of a conventional antenna is directly related to the size of the antenna, and the bandwidth is positively correlated with the area of the antenna, so that the design of the antenna usually requires a physical length of half a wavelength.
另外,各種無線電子設備的天線內置需求越來越強烈,例 如現在各種無線接入點(AP)、無線路由器等電子設備基本上採用外置天線,極大限制產品的工業設計和機構設計發揮的餘力,而且外置天線還需要設計適應的阻抗匹配連接器及機構模組,這些連接器及機構模組幾乎占了整個天線百分之九十以上的成本,所以整個天線成本上升促使整個無線接入點(AP)、無線路由器等電子設備成本上升,而天線內置方式將極大地省掉了連接器及機構模組成本。 In addition, the antenna built-in requirements of various wireless electronic devices are becoming more and more intense. For example, various electronic devices such as wireless access points (APs) and wireless routers basically use external antennas, which greatly limits the industrial design and mechanism design of the products, and the external antennas also need to be designed with adaptive impedance matching connectors and Institutional modules, these connectors and mechanism modules account for almost 90% of the cost of the entire antenna, so the overall cost of the antenna increases the cost of electronic devices such as wireless access points (APs) and wireless routers. The built-in approach will greatly reduce the cost of connectors and mechanism modules.
在一些更為複雜的電子系統中,天線需要多模工作,就需要在饋入天線前額外的阻抗匹配網絡設計。但阻抗匹配網絡額外的增加了電子系統的饋線設計、增大了射頻系統的面積同時匹配網絡還引入了不少的能量損耗,很難滿足低功耗的系統設計要求。因此,小型化、多模式及天線內置的天線技術成為了當代電子集成系統的一個亟待解決的問題。 In some more complex electronic systems, where the antenna requires multimode operation, additional impedance matching network design is required before feeding the antenna. However, the impedance matching network additionally increases the feeder design of the electronic system, increases the area of the RF system, and introduces a lot of energy loss in the matching network, which is difficult to meet the system design requirements of low power consumption. Therefore, miniaturization, multi-mode and antenna built-in antenna technology have become an urgent problem to be solved in contemporary electronic integrated systems.
本發明要解決的技術問題在於,傳統天線技術在無線設備尺寸受限的前提下難以實施,以及習知技術的上述很難滿足現代通信系統低功耗的系統設計要求,本發明提供一種突破傳統天線設計的框架,省去阻抗匹配網絡的複雜設計,保證其小型化,使其能够應用在尺寸受限的天線內置無線設備之中,且天線輻射面積利用率高、抗干擾能力強的一種雙頻天線、MIMO天線裝置及2.4GHz/5.8GHz雙頻無線通訊裝置。 The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the conventional antenna technology is difficult to implement under the premise that the size of the wireless device is limited, and the above-mentioned technical design requirements of the conventional communication system are difficult to meet the low power consumption of the modern communication system, and the present invention provides a breakthrough in the tradition.

其中,金屬結構16為採用前述的人工電磁材料技術進行設計。尤其在金屬結構的諧振頻段,人工電磁材料通常體現出高度的色散特性,換言之,金屬結構的阻抗、容感性、等效的介電常數和磁導率隨著頻率會發生劇烈的變化。因而可基於人工電磁材料設計方法將金屬結構的基本特性進行設計,使得金屬結構與其依附的介質基板形成的整體,即本申請案中的超材料天線等效地組成了一個高度色散的特種電磁材料,從而實現輻射特性豐富的天線。 Among them, the metal structure 16 is designed by using the artificial electromagnetic material technology described above. Especially in the resonant frequency band of metal structures, artificial electromagnetic materials usually exhibit high dispersion characteristics. In other words, the impedance, capacitance, equivalent dielectric constant and magnetic permeability of the metal structure change drastically with frequency.

Moreover, adjusting the length and width of the metal structure 16 and the line width between the metal structures can make the resonant frequency band of the metamaterial antenna slightly offset. For example, the electromagnetic resonance of the metamaterial antenna can be two frequency bands: 2.4 GHz - 2.49 GHz. And 5.72GHz-5.85GHz.
請參閱圖2,雙頻天線110還包括一介質基板17,饋電點15、接地單元18、饋線14及一金屬結構16均設置於介質基板17一表面上;饋線14採用耦合方式饋入金屬結構16。介質基板17可以採用空氣、陶瓷或者絕緣功能的介質基板。本發明中,介質基板17由陶瓷材料、高分子材料、鐵電材料、鐵氧材料或鐵磁材料製成。較佳地,由高分子材料製成,具體 地可以是FR-4、F4B等高分子材料。 Referring to FIG. 2, the dual-band antenna 110 further includes a dielectric substrate 17. The feeding point 15, the grounding unit 18, the feeding line 14, and a metal structure 16 are disposed on a surface of the dielectric substrate 17. The feeding line 14 is coupled to the metal by coupling. Structure 16. The dielectric substrate 17 may be a dielectric substrate of air, ceramic or insulating function. In the present invention, the dielectric substrate 17 is made of a ceramic material, a polymer material, a ferroelectric material, a ferrite material, or a ferromagnetic material. Preferably, it is made of a polymer material, specifically The ground may be a polymer material such as FR-4 or F4B.
請一並參考圖3、圖4及圖5,饋線14與金屬結構16之間信號饋入方式可以採用多種方式。如圖3所示,饋線14直接與金屬結構16相連;且饋線14與金屬結構16的相連接點位置可以位於金屬結構16上的任意位置。如圖4、5所示,饋線14採用包圍方式設置於與金屬結構16外圍且饋線14的末端設置於金屬結構16外圍任意位置。 Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, the signal feeding manner between the feed line 14 and the metal structure 16 can be implemented in various ways. As shown in FIG. 3, the feed line 14 is directly connected to the metal structure 16; and the position of the connection point of the feed line 14 and the metal structure 16 may be located at any position on the metal structure 16. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the feed line 14 is disposed in a surrounding manner with the periphery of the metal structure 16 and the end of the feed line 14 is disposed at any position on the periphery of the metal structure 16.
請參閱圖6,根據人工電磁材料設計理論,與上述雙頻天線110的金屬結構16互補式的一金屬結構16a,金屬結構16a的諧振頻點包含2.4GHz和5.8GHz兩個。因此基於此,金屬結構16a可包含於諧振頻點包含2.4GHz和5.8GHz的雙頻天線中。 Referring to FIG. 6, according to the artificial electromagnetic material design theory, a metal structure 16a complementary to the metal structure 16 of the dual-frequency antenna 110 has a resonance frequency of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. Therefore, based on this, the metal structure 16a can be included in a dual-frequency antenna including 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz at the resonance frequency.
本實施例中,關於雙頻天線110的加工製造,只要滿足本發明的設計原理,可以採用各種製造方式。最普通的方法是使用各類印刷電路板(PCB)的製造方法,如覆銅的PCB製造均可滿足本發明的加工要求。另外還可將上述形狀金屬結構16、饋線14和饋電點15都印刷於FPC板上。 In the present embodiment, regarding the manufacturing of the dual-frequency antenna 110, various manufacturing methods can be employed as long as the design principle of the present invention is satisfied. The most common method is to use a variety of printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing methods, such as copper-clad PCB manufacturing to meet the processing requirements of the present invention. Alternatively, the shape metal structure 16, the feed line 14, and the feed point 15 described above may be printed on the FPC board.
除此加工方式,還可以根據實際的需要引入其它加工手段,如導電銀漿油墨加工方式、各類可形變器件的柔性PCB加工、鐵片天線的加工方式以及鐵片與PCB組合的加工方式。其中,鐵片與PCB組合加工方式是指利用PCB的精確加工來完成晶片微結構部份的加工,用鐵片來完成其它輔助部份。由於採用低成本的銅材料形成金屬結構16,因此暴露空氣中容易被氧化而使雙頻天線110諧振頻率偏移或者性能急 劇下降,因此雙頻天線表面上設置有非金屬的防氧化薄膜。由於本發明的主要性能都集中在金屬結構16拓撲和晶片部份的設計,因此,饋線14的引線對雙頻天線110的輻射頻率影響相對較小。基於這個特點,雙頻天線可以被靈活的擺放在系統的任何位置,簡化的安裝測試的複雜度。 In addition to this processing method, other processing means can be introduced according to actual needs, such as processing method of conductive silver paste ink, flexible PCB processing of various deformable devices, processing method of iron piece antenna, and processing method of combination of iron piece and PCB. Among them, the combination of iron sheet and PCB processing means that the precise processing of the PCB is used to complete the processing of the microstructure part of the wafer, and the iron piece is used to complete other auxiliary parts. Since the metal structure 16 is formed using a low-cost copper material, the exposed air is easily oxidized, so that the resonant frequency of the dual-frequency antenna 110 is shifted or the performance is urgent. The drama drops, so the non-metallic anti-oxidation film is placed on the surface of the dual-frequency antenna. Since the primary performance of the present invention is concentrated on the topology of the metal structure 16 and the design of the wafer portion, the leads of the feed line 14 have a relatively small effect on the radiation frequency of the dual frequency antenna 110. Based on this feature, the dual-band antenna can be flexibly placed anywhere in the system, simplifying the complexity of the installation test.
上述雙頻天線110直接可應用包含2.4GHz和5.8GHz的無線通訊裝置,雙頻天線110可以直接設置於無線通訊裝置的PCB板上,也可以採用接口使雙頻天線110通過一接口與無線通訊裝置的PCB板相連接。 The dual-band antenna 110 can directly apply a wireless communication device including 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, and the dual-band antenna 110 can be directly disposed on the PCB of the wireless communication device, or the interface can be used to enable the dual-frequency antenna 110 to communicate with the wireless communication through an interface. The PCB boards of the device are connected.
