Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to antenna de- vices and more particularly to an antenna device in one part designed for use in a portable communication device, such as a mobile phone.
  • an internal antenna device as a module adapted to be fitted into the interior of a portable communication device.
  • the module is often difficult and expensive to assemble and the contacting to the electronic circuitry of the device to which the module is mounted is space con- suming and unreliable, relying on contact pins with limited contact area, for example.
  • soldering is used, which adds another step to the assembly process, increasing total costs.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an antenna device, which is easy and inexpensive to manufacture, and which is easy to mount in a portable communication device. Another object is to provide an antenna device wherein the connection to electronic circuitry it facilitated.
  • the invention is based on the realisation that an antenna pattern can be provided on a single part func- tioning as a frame, wherein the connection details are integrated in the frame.
  • an antenna device as defined in appended claim 1 and a portable communication device as defined in appended claim 16.
  • the invention provides an antenna device, which is easy and inexpensive to manufacture and which is easy to mount to e.g. a printed circuit board having electronic circuitry to be connected to the antenna device.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an antenna device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an end view of the antenna device shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view through the antenna device of FIGS. 1 and 2 along the lines III-III; and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of an antenna device according to the invention.
  • An antenna device or module generally designated 1, comprises an essentially box like frame or support structure 10 made of some suitable non-conductive material, such as moulded plastics.
  • the frame is provided with a contour so as to fit within the housing of a mobile phone or other portable communication device (not shown).
  • a mobile phone or other portable communication device not shown.
  • the frame 10 is provided with four resilient legs, each of which is provided with a hook, three of which lla-c are shown in FIG. 1.
  • the hooks are adapted for gripping around the edges of a printed circuit board (PCB) 20, see FIG. 2.
  • PCB printed circuit board
  • Two essentially parallel slits 12a, 12b are provided at one end of the frame 10, defining there between a wing or tongue 13.
  • a similar wing 14 is provided at the centre portion of the frame 10, see FIGS. 1 and 3. The function of these wings 13, 14 will be described below.
  • the upper side of the frame 10 is provided with an electrically conductive radiating antenna element, generally designated 30.
  • the antenna element can have any suitable shape giving required characteristics to an internal antenna. However, the general shape is often that the antenna element is parallel to and spaced apart from the PCB 20, which in many cases functions as a ground plane for the antenna.
  • the antenna element 30 can be provided as a flex film, which is fixed to the frame in some suitable way, e.g. by means of an adhesive.
  • the antenna element is provided by means of a so-called moulded interconnected device (MID) process, wherein the antenna pattern is provided as a metallisation directly on a suitable plastic material.
  • MID moulded interconnected device
  • the respective end portion of the wings rests on the PCB 20 exerting a force thereon when the frame is snapped on to the PCB.
  • This force is due to that at least part of the wings extends beneath the rest of the frame 10 by a distance d, see FIG. 2, and that the entire wings thus function as spring elements pressing the ends thereof against the PBC 20.
  • the exerted force depends on the distance d and the length of the slits 12a, 12b for the first wing 13 and corresponding parameters for the second wing 14.
  • the wings extend 0.2-0.3 miilimetres below the frame, i.e., the distance d is 0.2-0.3 millimetres.
  • the position of the first wing 13 in mounted position appears clearly from FIG. 2.
  • Part of the radiating element 30 extends down the wings 13, 14 and around the edges thereof so that a contact portion on each wing rests against the PCB 20. Such a portion 31 of the antenna element 30 is shown in FIGS . 1 and 2.
  • the PCB is provided with corresponding metallisation areas functioning as contact portions on the PCB.
  • the wing arrangement provides for a simple yet reliable connector providing electrical contact between the antenna element 30 and the PCB 20. From a radio frequency point of view, this arrangement is very advantageous in that the contact area can be varied, extending from a small part of the wing edge to a major part thereof. Apart from providing a reliable connection, the configuration of the contact area can be varied in order to achieve RF matching of the antenna element.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 An example of capacitive coupling between the antenna element 20 and the PCB is also shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a portion 32 of the antenna pattern 30 extends to the edge of the wing 13 in an area where the edge is not in direct contact with the PCB 20, see FIG. 2, but is spaced apart therefrom by the distance d.
  • the PCB 20 is provided with a conductive layer directly below the portion 22, a well-defined capacitive coupling is obtained between the antenna element 30 and the PCB 20.
  • two wings 13, 14 are provided, wherein the antenna element portion 31 provided on the first wing 13 functions as a grounding portion and a corresponding portion 33 provided on the second wing 14 functions as a feeding portion.
  • FIG. 4 An alternatively shaped antenna device 40 is shown in FIG. 4. However, this embodiment has the same general properties as the one described with reference to FIGS. 1-3.
  • an antenna element module wherein no extra connectors are needed, i.e., all essential components are provided in one carrier, such as the radiating element itself, contacting thereto, attachment devices for attaching the carrier to a PCB etc .
  • an antenna device Preferred embodiments of an antenna device according to the invention have been described. However, the person skilled in the art realises that these can be varied within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the inventive idea.
  • Embodiments with two wings have been described. However, more than two wings can be provided if more than one antenna element is provided on the frame, for example. In other applications one single wing is sufficient.
  • the wings can have any suitable shape and position. For example, instead of providing one of the wings in the centre portion of the frame, it can be provided at the opposite end of the frame compared to the first wing. Also, each wing can be provided with more than one contact area.
  • any antenna pattern is possible, as long as it is adapted for a built in antenna, such as a PIFA, patch or meander antenna etc. It is also possible to provide an antenna pattern on the underside of the frame 20. It is also possible to provide discrete components by means of surface mounting, for example, which can be used for antenna matching etc .
  • Frames with four legs have been disclosed.
  • the person skilled in the art realises that the frame can be provided with any suitable number of legs or other attachment devices .

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif antenne destiné à un dispositif de radiocommunication portable. Ce dispositif comprend une structure support individuelle (10) portant un élément antenne (30). L'élément antenne a une partie alimentation (33) raccordable à un dispositif d'alimentation et une partie mise à la terre (31) raccordable à un dispositif de mise à la terre. La structure support est conçue pour être montée sur une carte de circuits imprimés PCB (20) et est dotée d'au moins une aile résiliente (13, 14) ayant au moins une partie alimentation ou une partie mise à la terre. Les ailes sont conçues pour presser sur la carte imprimée sous-jacente lorsque la structure support est montée dessus. Le dispositif antenne est facile et économique à produire et à monter. De plus, il permet d'obtenir un bon couplage de radiofréquence entre l'élément antenne et la carte imprimée.
