Description

一种集成滤波功能的封装天线系统及通信设备 技术领域
本申请涉及天线技术领域,特别涉及一种封装天线系统及通信设备。
背景技术
天线是无线通信中设备之间的通信所需的重要部件,天线的基本构成有反射板、辐射体、馈电线(用来将射频信号接入天线)以及引向器等。天线的主要指标有带宽、增益、极化方式等。其中带宽越宽代表天线可以支持更多的工作频段,从而支持更高的信道容量传输。在5G毫米波通信中,28GHz频段、39GHz频段和60GHz频段都将成为高速无线通信网络的标准频段。在这些高频段,信号的波长尺寸已经小于芯片封装体尺寸,因此天线尺寸可以做到很小,这样具备了在封装体上直接设计天线的可行性。为了实现高频天线性能,同时多路收发的高集成度以及减小链路损耗,一种新的天线技术被推出,这便是封装天线(antenna in package,AiP),AiP为包括一个独立的收发器(transceiver)以及天线阵列的芯片。
AiP的射频引线更短,因此馈电损耗会更小,同时由于天线直接设计在封装上,天线整体也会更紧凑,系统集成度会更高。然而,为了降低信号的杂散和提高抗阻塞性能,需要在AiP外部为每个射频通道配置一个选频滤波器。此时配置的滤波器的数量需要与射频通道的数量相同,由于在射频通道所处的电路板中设置滤波器时,需要为每个滤波器配置对应的封装管脚,在射频通道的数量较多时,没有足够的封装管脚,无法为每个时频通道配置一个滤波器,导致射频通道的性能下降。而且滤波器的数量越多,不利于设备体积的小型化。最重要的一点,由于滤波器与射频通道之间需要连接线连接,导致射频通道与滤波器之间的路径损耗非常大,降低了通信性能。

示例性的,所述微带谐振器包括两根相互垂直相接的差分馈电探针;所述差分馈电探针的两个端点中的至少一个端点与所述至少一个微带贴片中的一个微带贴片连接;因此,所述至少一个微带贴片的数量可以大于或等于1,且小于或等于4。
示例性的,所述微带谐振器的两个差分馈电探针的两个端点中均与一个微带贴片连接。
微带贴片的数量可以根据实际情况确定,微带贴片的数量可以影响与馈电贴片构成的电容的大小,从而影响高通滤波的滤波带宽。
进一步的,馈电模块中的馈电网络306通过金属化馈电过孔305与耦合馈电结构304电连接。馈电网络306为差分馈电网络时,可以包括两个极化带状线,分别为第一极化带状线和第二极化带状线。馈电网络306为单端馈电网络时,可以包括一个极化带状线。
馈电网络306的极化带状线上可以加载至少一根开路枝节型谐振器,所述至少一根开路枝节型谐振器构成低通滤波结构,使得天线单元具有低通滤波功能。
通过上面的描述可知,馈电模块中的耦合馈电结构304包括的至少一个微带贴片与微带线构成具有高通滤波特性的结构,同时馈电模块中的馈电网络306的极化带状线具有低通滤波结构,可以使得天线单元具有频带滤波功能。因此,本申请实施例提供的天线单元,区别于传统集总式滤波结构的分布式滤波结构无线封装天线系统,将滤波器与天线集成设计,提升系统集成度,并降低系统损耗。

馈电网络306通过金属化馈电过孔305与耦合馈电结构304电连接。馈电网络306为差分馈电网络时,可以包括两个极化带状线,分别为第一极化带状线和第二极化带状线。馈电网络306为单端馈电网络时,可以包括一个极化带状线。如前所述,馈电网络306的极化带状线上加载至少一根构成低通滤波结构的开路枝节型谐振器,使得天线单元具有低通滤波功能。
以上只是示例,天线单元的馈电模块中,还可以通过其他方式实现滤波天线结构,在此不再逐一举例说明。

本申请实施例中,寄生环形谐振器302具有增强滤波的边沿滚降的功能。当寄生环形谐振器302加载在馈电贴片303上方,与馈电贴片303耦合时,可以额外引入一个辐射抑制零点,并加强通带边沿频率选择性。
第三层基板上设置耦合馈电结构304,耦合馈电结构也可以存在其他名称,例如“π”型耦合馈电结构等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。耦合馈电结构304印刷在第三层基板下表面,通过至少一个金属化馈电过孔305向下连接馈电网络306,同时耦合馈电结构304与馈电贴片303耦合。其中,图3中包括4个圆柱状金属化馈电过孔,金属化馈电过孔与基板垂直,金属化馈电过孔305与耦合馈电结构304连接的点可以称为金属化馈电过孔馈点。
耦合馈电结构304包括至少一层叠加的微带谐振器,所述微带谐振器包括的所述四个微带贴片与所述馈电贴片耦合,构成串联电容。微带谐振器的微带线部分设置在馈电贴片303的馈电开口的下方,避免与馈电贴片303耦合。

进一步的,下面将详细描述天线单元的各个部件的可能的实现方式。
辐射体:
本申请实施例中,辐射体301为具有对称形状的金属贴片,辐射体301的形状可以为方形或者圆形或者棱形等对称形状。
举例来说,如图4所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种辐射体示意图。图4中的辐射体的形状为方形。图4只是示例,其他情况不在一一举例。
示例性的,本申请实施例中,辐射体301的中间还可以包括开口。通过在辐射体301中设置开口,可以使得辐射体引入带外辐射并抑制零点。
示例性的,辐射体301的中间包括开口时,开口的形状可以具有对称性。
举例来说,一种可能的实现方式中,包括开口的辐射体301可以如图5所示。图5中的辐射体的形状为方形,且辐射体中的开口的形状也为方形。当然图5只是示例,辐射体的开口的形状还可以为圆形等形状,在此不再一一举例。
示例性的,本申请实施例中,辐射体301的形状为方形时,辐射体301的四个角还可以存在相同形状的缺口。通过在辐射体301的四个角设置缺口,可以提升辐射体的阻抗带宽。
举例来说,一种可能的实现方式中,四个角包括缺口的辐射体301可以如图6所示。图6只是示例,辐射体的四个角设置的缺口的形状还可以为其他形状,在此不再一一举例。
示例性的,本申请实施例中,辐射体301还可以包括多个子贴片。举例来说,如图7所示,辐射体301包括四个子贴片,所述四个子贴片构成的形状具有对称性。所述四个子贴片中每个子贴片的形状以及大小均相同,相邻子贴片之间的距离也相同。
图7中,辐射体301的边长为W2,辐射体301包括的每个子贴片为正方形,且边长为W1,相邻子贴片之间的距离为WS,其中WS、W1以及W2的具体取值,可以根据天线单元的工作频段确定。
图7只是示例,辐射体301还可以由9个具有相同形状和大小的子贴片组成,还可以由16个具有相同形状和大小的子贴片组成等,本申请实施例对子贴片的数量并不限定,在此不再逐一举例说明。
寄生环形谐振器:
本申请实施例中,天线单元中的寄生环形谐振器302具有增强滤波的边沿滚降的功能。当寄生环形谐振器302与馈电贴片303耦合时,可以额外引入一个辐射抑制零点,并加强通带边沿频率选择性。
本申请实施例中,图3所示的寄生环形谐振器302的形状为方形环,为了描述更加清楚,具体可以参考图8所示。图8所示的寄生环形谐振器的形状为方形环,且每个边的宽度为WL。
以上只是示例,寄生环形谐振器302的形状并不限定,可以为任意形状的环形结构。
举例来说,如图9所示,图9所示的寄生环形谐振器的形状为圆形环。
再举例来说,如图10所示,图10所示的寄生环形谐振器的形状为双工字形。
图8至图10只是示例,寄生环形谐振器的其它形状不再逐一举例说明。
馈电贴片:
本申请实施例中,馈电贴片303可以控制低频辐射抑制零点的频率,馈电贴片303为具有对称形状的金属贴片,馈电贴片303的中间包括具有对称形状的馈电开口。本申请实施例中,图3所示的馈电贴片303中馈电开口的形状为方形,为了描述更加清楚,具体可以参考图11所示。图11所示的馈电贴片与图3中的馈电贴片的形状相同,图11所示的馈电贴片中馈电开口的形状为方形。
馈电贴片303与寄生环形谐振器302贴合在一层基板上时,可以参考图12所示。图12中,馈电贴片303与寄生环形谐振器302分别位于一层基板的上表面和下表面,寄生环形谐振器302的四个边角分别位于馈电贴片303四个边的中间位置。寄生环形谐振器302为方形环,且每个边的宽度为WL。图12中,馈电贴片303为正方形,且馈电贴片的边长为W3,馈电贴片中的馈电开口为正方形,且馈电开口的边长为W4。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,可以通过改变馈电贴片中馈电开口的大小以及耦合馈电结构中微带谐振器的尺寸调节辐射抑制零点的频率。举例来说,馈电贴片中馈电开口的形状为正方形时,所述馈电开口的边长等于低频零点频率信号的八分之一波长,同时耦合馈电结构中微带谐振器的微带线的长度与馈电开口的边长相等,此时可以通过调节微带谐振器中微带贴片的尺寸大小,可进一步控制零点位置和阻抗匹配。
本申请实施例中,馈电贴片303上的馈电开口的形状还可以是其它对称的形状,包括但不限于正方形、圆形、菱形、双工字形等。
举例来说,如图13所示,图13中的馈电贴片303包括圆形的馈电开口。
再举例来说,如图14所示,图14中的馈电贴片303包括棱形的馈电开口。
再举例来说,如图15所示,图15中的馈电贴片303包括双工字形的馈电开口。
图11至图15只是示例,其它情况不再逐一举例说明。
耦合馈电结构:
本申请实施例中,耦合馈电结构304具有高通滤波功能,与馈电贴片303耦合,并通过金属化馈电过孔305与馈电网络306电连接。
图16所示的耦合馈电结构304包括一个微带谐振器。图16中,微带谐振器包括两根相互垂直的差分馈电探针、微带线以及四个微带贴片,其中,每个差分馈电探针的两个端点分别与所述四个微带贴片中的一个微带贴片连接。这种结构的耦合馈电结构304,可以实现差分激励作用。
进一步地,图16中,两根相互垂直的差分馈电探针相交处与微带线连接,微带线是一根具有特定长度的金属线,垂直于所述两根差分馈电探针的连接处,微带线的长度可以等于馈电贴片中馈电开口的边长。
一个差分馈电探针的两个端点的微带贴片与微带线可以构成阶梯阻抗谐振器结构。由于微带贴片设置在馈电贴片303中金属部分的下方,从而形成电容耦合,引入串联电容的成分;微带线设置在馈电贴片303中间的馈电开口的下方,避免与馈电贴片303耦合。由于差分激励的作用,微带线中间位置等效短路,因此微带线部分可等效为并联电感,与前面微带贴片提供的串联电容共同构成等效的高通滤波电路,能有效地抑制天线低频段的辐射。此外,在微带谐振器的谐振频率处,馈电贴片上缺口边沿流动的电流与微带谐振器上分布的电流形成一个回路,使得馈电贴片上的电流集中在中间区域而不向边沿辐射,从而使得增益曲线工作频段的下侧引入一个辐射抑制零点,提高滤波的边沿滚降效果,并且通过改变馈电贴片303中馈电开口的大小以及微带谐振器结构的尺寸均可调节辐射抑制零点的频率。
图16中,每个差分馈电探针的两个端点还包括金属化馈电过孔馈点,如前所述,金属化馈电过孔馈点是金属化馈电过孔305与耦合馈电结构304的连接点。
图16中,微带贴片的形状为方形,微带贴片的形状还可以为其它具有对称性的形状,例如圆形或棱形等。
举例来说,如图17所示,图17中,微带贴片的形状为圆形。
再举例来说,如图18所示,图18中,微带贴片的形状为棱形。
可选的,图16中,两根相互垂直的差分馈电探针的四周空余位置包括至少一个寄生接地孔,从而可以提升微带谐振器的品质因数,使得增益曲线边沿下降更陡峭。
可选的,寄生接地孔也可以按照其他方式分布在差分馈电探针的四周,例如,可以如图19所示。
本申请实施例中,耦合馈电结构304也可以包括多层微带谐振器相邻两层微带谐振器通过设置在微带贴片中的至少一个金属过孔相连接。结合图19,金属过孔可以位于微带贴片中,每个微带贴片可以包括多个金属过孔。如图20所示,为包括3层微带谐振器的耦合馈电结构304的3D视图。
馈电网络:
图21中所示的馈电网络306为差分馈电网络,包括第一极化带状线3061和第二极化带状线3062。馈电网络306也可以为单端馈电网络,在此不再示出。
进一步地,馈电网络306中的每个极化带状线的一端通过金属化馈电过孔305连接耦合馈电结构304的一根差分馈电探针后,再延长一段长度后,连接至该差分馈电探针的另一端,所延长的长度为天线单元的工作频段的中心频率半波长度,即图21中的L13。极化 带状线与金属化馈电过孔305的连接点可以称为金属化馈电过孔馈点。第一极化带状线3061连接的两个金属化馈电过孔馈点之间的距离为L11,第二极化带状线3062连接的两个金属化馈电过孔馈点之间的距离为L12。
图21中,第一极化带状线3061和第二极化带状线3062的宽度为WF。第一极化带状线3061和第二极化带状线3062上还分别加载至少一根开路枝节型谐振器,通过在极化带状线上加载多根开路枝节型谐振器,使其具有宽阻带低通滤波效果,并且引入的插损较小。图21中,以每个极化带状线加载4根开路枝节型谐振器为例进行描述,这4根开路枝节型谐振器的长度分别为L10、L8、L6以及L4,如图21所示,这4根开路枝节型谐振器间距分别为L9、L7以及L5。上面的WF,以及L4至L13的具体取值,可以根据天线单元的工作频段确定。
可选的,极化带状线与金属化馈电过孔305的连接点的周围包括至少一个寄生接地孔,寄生接地孔连通上下两层金属地板,能增强端口间的隔离以及减小金属化馈电过孔305带来的插损。
进一步的,当本申请实施例提供的天线单元的工作频段为24-30GHz时,如图3至图21中标注的尺寸的具体取值可以如下:
W1=10mm,W2=3.53mm,W3=2.35mm,W4=0.8mm,W5=0.31mm,W6=0.31mm,WL=2.0mm,L1=0.42mm,L2=0.42mm,L3=0.86mm,L4=1mm,L5=0.5mm,L6=1.2mm,L7=0.5mm,L8=0.85mm,L9=0.4mm,L10=0.7mm,L11=L12=0.96mm,L13=0.8mm,H1=0.69mm,H2=0.05mm,H3=0.25mm,H4=0.2mm,H5=0.2mm,WS=0.17mm,WF=0.1mm。
以上只是示例,天线单元的具体尺寸可以进行调整,从而适应不同的频带的无线通信系统的接收和发射设备中。
结合上面的尺寸,天线单元的工作频段为24-30GHz时,天线性能的仿真示意图可以如图22至图24所示。如图22所示,是本申请实施例对比在不同条件下低频边带增益曲线图。图22中给出了4种不同情况下的仿真结果图,这4种情况分别为:1,天线单元不加载寄生环形谐振器,且天线单元的耦合馈电结构不加载寄生接地孔;2,天线单元加载寄生环形谐振器,但天线单元的耦合馈电结构不加载寄生接地孔;3,天线单元不加载寄生环形谐振器,但天线单元的耦合馈电结构的中间以及四周空余位置加载寄生接地孔;4,天线单元加载寄生环形谐振器,天线单元的耦合馈电结构的中间以及四周空余位置加载寄生接地孔。
从图22可以看出,当天线单元加载寄生环形谐振器,以及耦合馈电结构的中间以及四周空余位置加载寄生接地孔时,均能提升滤波的边沿滚降效果。同时采取两种提升边沿滚降的方式,可在不引入额外插损的前提下将22.5GHz处的抑制能力提升14dB。
如图23所示,是本申请实施例提供的天线单元的反射系数仿真结果图,当天线单元的工作频段为24-30GHz时,能够实现良好的阻抗匹配。
如图24所示,是本申请实施例提供的天线单元的增益曲线仿真结果图,当天线单元的工作频段为24-30GHz内时,天线增益平稳,均有5.8dBi以上,达到了22%相对带宽;通带两侧具有高滚降滤波特性,且实现了从0-22.5GHz超过25dB的滤波抑制,以及从34-60GHz超过25dB的宽阻带滤波抑制。相较于天线单元不加载寄生环形谐振器,天线单元在加载寄生环形谐振器时,低频边带滚降明显提升。
如图25所示,本申请实施例还提供一种AiP。图25中的AiP中集成了一个4x4的相 控天线阵列,共包括16个天线单元,每个天线单元的具体实现方式可以参考前面的描述。需要说明的是,图25中的AiP中相控天线阵列包括的天线单元的数量只是示例,还可能包括其他数量的天线单元。
图25中,AiP中的相控天线阵列可以与射频芯片连接,具体可以参考前面的描述,在此不再赘述。图25中的AiP还包括其它结构,具体可以参考现有技术中关于AiP的描述,在此不再赘述。
以上,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本申请进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本申请的范围。这样,倘若本申请的这些修改和变型属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本申请也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
