本申请要求于2019年11月27日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为201911184582.2、申请名称为“一种天线单元及电子设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种天线单元及电子设备。
背景技术
随着第五代移动通信(5th-Generation,5G)系统的发展,以及电子设备的广泛应用,毫米波天线逐渐被应用在各种电子设备中,以满足用户日益增长的使用需求。
目前,电子设备中的毫米波天线主要通过天线封装(antenna in package,AiP)技术实现。例如,如图1所示,可以通过AiP技术,将工作波长为毫米波的阵列天线11、射频集成电路(radio frequency integrated circuit,RFIC)12、电源管理集成电路(power management integrated circuit,PMIC)13和连接器14封装成一个模块10,该模块10可以称为毫米波天线模组。其中,上述阵列天线中的天线可以为贴片天线、八木-宇田天线,或者偶极子天线等。
然而,由于上述阵列天线中的天线通常为窄带天线(例如上述列举的贴片天线等),因此每个天线的覆盖频段有限,但是在5G系统中规划的毫米波频段通常比较多,例如以28GHz为主的n257(26.5-29.5GHz)频段和以39GHz为主的n260(37.0-40.0GHz)频段等,因此传统的毫米波天线模组可能无法覆盖5G系统中规划的主流的毫米波频段,从而导致电子设备的天线性能较差。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种天线单元及电子设备,以解决现有的电子设备的毫米波天线覆盖的频段较少,导致电子设备的天线性能较差的问题。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请是这样实现的:
第一方面,本发明实施例提供了一种天线单元,该天线单元包括:金属凹槽,设置在金属凹槽底部的M个馈电部,以及设置在金属凹槽内的M个辐射结构;其中,M个辐射结构中的每个辐射结构包括第一辐射体、与第一辐射体的第一端电连接的第二辐射体,以及与第二辐射体电连接的第三辐射体;且每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第二端与M个馈电部中的不同馈电部电连接,以及该M个辐射结构按照第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内,M为大于1的整数。
第二方面,本发明实施例提供了一种电子设备,该电子设备包括上述第一方面中的天线单元。
在本发明实施例中,天线单元可以包括:金属凹槽,设置在金属凹槽底部的M个馈电部,以及设置在金属凹槽内的M个辐射结构;其中,该M个辐射结构中的每个辐射结构包括第一辐射体、与第一辐射体的第一端电连接的第二辐射体,以及与第二辐射体电连接的第三辐射体;且每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第二端与M个馈电部中的不同馈电部电连接,以及 该M个辐射结构按照第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内,M为大于1的整数。通过该方案,由于辐射结构包括第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体,因此当馈电部将交流信号传输到辐射结构上时,经由辐射体的电流的路径可以有多种,例如第一辐射体上形成的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体、再到第三辐射体的电流路径等,如此经由辐射结构辐射的电磁波的频率也可以有多个,如此可以使得天线单元获得更宽的带宽,从而可以增加天线单元覆盖的频段。并且由于M个辐射结构按照第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内,因此可以使得该M个辐射结构中的各个辐射结构之间的距离较大,如此可以减小该M个辐射结构之间的干扰,从而可以提高天线单元的端口隔离度,进而可以进一步提高天线单元的性能。

下面结合各个附图对本发明实施例提供的天线单元进行示例性的说明。
如图2所示,天线单元20可以包括金属凹槽201,设置在金属凹槽201底部的M个馈电部202,设置在金属凹槽201内的M个辐射结构203。
其中,M个辐射结构中的每个辐射结构(以下简称为每个辐射结构)203可以包括第一辐射体203a、与第一辐射体203a的第一端电连接的第二辐射体203b,以及与第二辐射体203b电连接的第三辐射体203c;且每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体203a的第二端可以与上述M个馈电部中的不同馈电部电连接,以及该M个辐射结构可以按照第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽201内,M为大于1的整数。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,为了更加清楚地示意天线单元的结构,图2是以天线 单元的爆炸图示意的,即是以天线单元的组成部分均处于分离状态示意的。实际实现时,上述M个馈电部和M个辐射结构均可以设置在金属凹槽内,即金属凹槽、M个馈电部和M个辐射结构组成一个整体,以形成一个本发明实施例提供的天线单元。
另外,在图2中,第一辐射体203a的第二端与馈电部202未以电连接状态示出,实际实现时,第一辐射体203a的第二端可以与馈电部202电连接。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一顺序可以为顺时针的顺序,也可以为逆时针的顺序。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
本发明实施例中,以上述M个辐射结构按照顺时针的顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内为例,假设上述M个辐射结构为四个辐射结构(该四个辐射结构的结构可以相同),该四个辐射结构可以按照从第一个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第一端到第一辐射体的第二端、再从第二个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第一端到第一辐射体的第二端、接着从第三个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第一端到第一辐射体的第二端,最后从第四个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第一端到第一辐射体的第二端的次序,按照顺时针的顺序依次设置在金属凹槽内。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,当上述M个辐射结构按照上述第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内时,该M个辐射结构中的每个辐射结构之间的距离均比较大,如此可以减小各个馈电臂之间的相互干扰。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第一端可以与第二辐射体的第一端电连接,第二辐射体的第二端可以与第三辐射体的第一端电连接。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体可以为一体成型的,也可以为组装的。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中的示例均是以辐射结构为组装的为例进行示例性说明的。对于辐射结构为一体成型的实现方式,其与辐射结构为组装的实现方式类似,为避免重复,本发明实施例不再赘述。
可选的,本发明实施例中,辐射结构中的第一辐射体和第三辐射体可以为金属片,第二辐射体可以为金属柱;或者,辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体可以均为金属片。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
为了更加清楚地描述本发明实施例提供的天线单元及其工作原理,下面具体以一个天线单元为例,对本发明实施例提供的天线单元发送信号和接收信号的工作原理进行示例性的说明。
当电子设备发送5G毫米波信号时,电子设备中的信号源会发出交流信号,该交流信号可以通过馈电部传输到辐射结构上。然后,在辐射结构接收到该交流信号之后,该交流信号可以经由辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体向外辐射。由于该交流信号经由辐射结构的电流路径可以有多个,例如第一辐射体上形成的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体、再到第三辐射体的电流路径,因此辐射结构可以向外辐射不同频率的电磁波。从而,电子设备可以通过本发明实施例提供的天线单元发送不同频率的信号。
又示例性的,本发明实施例中,当电子设备接收5G毫米波信号时,电子设备所处的空间中的电磁波可以激励辐射结构中的辐射体(例如辐射结构中的第三辐射体),从而辐射结构可以产生感应电流(即感应的交流信号)。在辐射结构产生感应的交流信号之后,辐射结 构可以通过馈电部向电子设备中的接收机输入该交流信号,如此可以使得电子设备接收到其它设备发送的5G毫米波信号。即电子设备可以通过本发明实施例提供的天线单元接收信号。
下面再结合图3,对本发明实施例提供的天线单元的性能进行示例性的说明。
示例性的,如图3所示,为本发明实施例提供的天线单元工作时,天线单元的反射系数图。当回波损耗小于-6dB(分贝)时,天线单元覆盖的频率范围可以为26GHz-40GHz,该频率范围可以包括多个毫米波频段(例如n257、n258、n260和n261),当回波损耗小于-10dB时,天线单元覆盖的频率范围可以为27.4GHz-29.8GHz和36.1GHz-38.9GHz,该频率范围也可以包括毫米波频段(例如n261),如此发明实施例提供的天线单元可以覆盖大多数5G毫米波频段,从而可以提高电子设备的天线性能。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,当一个天线单元的回波损耗小于-6dB时,该天线单元可以满足实际使用需求;当一个天线单元的回波损耗小于-10dB时,该天线单元的工作性能更加优良。即本发明实施例提供的天线单元可以在满足实际使用需求的基础上,保证更加优良的工作性能。
本发明实施例提供一种天线单元,由于辐射结构包括第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体,因此当馈电部将交流信号传输到辐射结构上时,经由辐射体的电流的路径可以有多种,例如第一辐射体上形成的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体、再到第三辐射体的电流路径等,如此经由辐射结构辐射的电磁波的频率也可以有多个,如此可以使得天线单元获得更宽的带宽,从而可以增加天线单元覆盖的频段。并且由于M个辐射结构按照第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内,因此可以使得该M个辐射结构中的各个辐射结构之间的距离较大,如此可以减小该M个辐射结构之间的干扰,从而可以提高天线单元的端口隔离度,进而可以进一步提高天线单元的性能。
可选的,上述M个辐射结构按照上述第一顺序,沿金属凹槽的内侧壁,以从辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第一端到第一辐射体的第二端的次序设置在金属凹槽内。
也就是说,按照上述第一顺序,上述M个辐射结构中的一个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第二端可以与该一个辐射结构相邻的下一个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第一端相邻。
可以理解,上述M个辐射结构可以形成一个类环状,即该M个辐射结构环绕设置在金属凹槽内。
本发明实施例中,由于在天线单元在工作时,在辐射结构上流过的电流具有方向性,因此按照上述第一顺序设置上述M个辐射结构,可以增加不同辐射结构之间的距离(即一个辐射结构与其它辐射结构之间的距离均比较大),如此可以减小不同辐射结构之间的干扰,从而可以提高天线单元的端口的隔离度。并且由于沿金属凹槽的内侧壁设置辐射结构可以使得这些辐射结构比较离散的分布在金属凹槽内,从而可以进一步减小这些辐射结构之间的干扰,进而可以进一步提高天线单元的端口的隔离度。
可选的,本发明实施例中,金属凹槽为矩形凹槽,上述M个辐射结构可以包括第一辐射结构、第二辐射结构、第三辐射结构和第四辐射结构,第一辐射结构、第二辐射结构、第三辐射结构和第四辐射结构沿金属凹槽的内侧壁依次设置在金属凹槽内。
其中,第一辐射结构和第三辐射结构均可以与金属凹槽的第一内侧壁平行,第二辐射结构和第四辐射结构均可以与金属凹槽的第二内侧壁平行,该第一内侧壁可以与该第二内侧壁垂直。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述第一辐射结构、第二辐射结构、第三辐射结构和 第四辐射结构还可以按照其它任意可能的方式环绕设置在金属凹槽内,例如第一辐射结构和第三辐射结构均与金属凹槽的第二内侧壁平行,第二辐射结构和第四辐射结构均与金属凹槽的第一内侧壁平行。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
示例性的,如图4所示,为本发明实施例提供的天线单元在Z轴反向(例如图2所示的坐标系)上的俯视图。第一辐射结构2030和第三辐射结构2031均可以与金属凹槽的内侧壁S1(即上述第一内侧壁)平行,第二辐射结构2032和第四辐射结构2033均可以与金属凹槽的内侧壁S2(即上述第二内侧壁)平行。且由图4可见,内侧壁S1与内侧壁S2垂直。
需要说明的是,由于图4为本发明实施例提供的天线单元在Z轴反向上的俯视图,因此金属凹槽的第一内侧壁和第二内侧壁均用如图4中横线进行示意。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一辐射结构可以与第三辐射结构组成一个辐射结构组(以下称为第一辐射结构组),上述第二辐射结构可以与第四辐射结构组成一个辐射结构组(以下称为第二辐射结构组)。
本发明实施例中,由图4可见,按照第一辐射结构、第二辐射结构、第三辐射结构和第四辐射结构沿金属凹槽的内侧壁依次设置在金属凹槽内的方式设置辐射结构,可以使得第一辐射结构2030与第三辐射结构2031之间的距离比较大,第二辐射结构2032与第四辐射结构2033之间的距离比较大。
本发明实施例中,由于一个辐射结构组中的辐射结构之间的距离越大,该辐射结构组对其它辐射结构组的影响越小,因此可以通过将上述第一辐射结构、第二辐射结构、第三辐射结构和第四辐射结构沿金属凹槽的内侧壁依次设置在金属凹槽内的方式,增大上述两个辐射结构组(第一辐射结构组和第二辐射结构组)中的辐射结构之间的距离,从而在天线单元工作过程中,可以减小这些辐射结构组之间的相互影响,进而可以减小本发明实施例提供的天线不同极化间的干扰。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一辐射结构组和上述第二辐射结构组可以为两个不同极化的辐射结构组。
示例性的,第一辐射结构组可以为水平极化的辐射结构组,第二辐射结构组可以为垂直极化的辐射结构组。
本发明实施例中,由于上述第一辐射结构组和上述第二辐射结构组可以为两个不同方向极化(第一极化和第二极化)的辐射结构组,因此可以使得本发明实施例提供的天线单元可以形成一个双极化的天线单元,如此可以提高天线单元的无线连接能力,从而可以减小天线单元通信断线的概率,进而可以提高天线单元的通信能力。
并且,由于天线单元中可以包括两对辐射结构组,因此电子设备可以通过天线单元中的该两对辐射结构组发送信号和接收信号,如此可以使得天线单元实现MIMO技术,从而可以提高天线单元的通信容量和通信速率,进而可以提高天线单元的数据传输速率。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体和第三辐射体可以与金属凹槽开口所在的表面平行,且每个辐射结构中的第二辐射体可以与第一辐射体和第三辐射体垂直。
示例性的,如图5所示,为本发明实施例提供的一种天线单元的剖视图。由图5可见,辐射结构中的第一辐射体203a和第三辐射体203c可以与金属凹槽201开口所在的表面平行,辐射结构中的第二辐射体203b可以与金属凹槽201开口所在的表面垂直,即辐射结构中的第二辐射体203b可以与第一辐射体203a和第三辐射体203c垂直。
当然,实际实现时,辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体之间的位置关系,还可以为其它任意可能的位置关系,具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
本发明实施例中,由于辐射结构的结构不同,即辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体的位置关系不同,天线单元的工作性能可能不同,因此可以根据天线单元的实际使用需求,设置辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体的位置关系,以使得本发明实施例提供的天线单元可以工作在5G毫米波频段内。
并且,由于辐射结构中的第一辐射体和第三辐射体与第二辐射体,可以增加辐射结构上的电流路径,因此可以扩大本发明实施例提供的天线单元覆盖的频段。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述M个馈电部可以贯穿金属凹槽底部、且与金属凹槽绝缘。
具体的,实际实现时,如图2所示,馈电部的第一端可以与辐射结构中的第一辐射体203a的第二端电连接,馈电部的第二端(未在图2中示出)可以与电子设备中的一个信号源(例如图5中所示的电子设备中的5G信号源30)电连接。如此,电子设备中的信号源的电流可以通过馈电部传输到辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体上,如此可以使得电子设备中的信号源的电流经由天线单元辐射出去,从而可以使得天线单元能够正常工作。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述M个馈电部在金属凹槽底部的设置位置,可以根据上述M个馈电臂单元在金属凹槽内的设置位置确定。
可选的,本发明实施例中,金属凹槽开口的截面为矩形,上述M个馈电部可以为四个馈电部,该四个馈电部中的两个馈电部可以位于金属凹槽的一条对称轴上,该四个馈电部中的另外两个馈电部可以位于金属凹槽的另一条对称轴上。
可选的,本发明实施例中,与上述第一辐射结构和第三辐射结构中的第一辐射体电连接的两个馈电部可以位于金属凹槽的一条对称轴上,与上述第二辐射结构和第四辐射结构中的第一辐射体电连接的两个馈电部可以位于金属凹槽的另一条对称轴上。如此可以进一步增大第一辐射结构与第三辐射结构之间的距离和第二辐射结构与第四辐射结构之间的距离,从而可以进一步减小不同极化的辐射结构组之间的相互干扰。
下面再结合图6,对本发明实施例提供的天线单元的端口的隔离度进行示例性的说明。
示例性的,如图6所示,为本发明实施例提供的天线单元工作时,天线单元的极化隔离度示意图。假设第一辐射结构与第三辐射结构组成的辐射结构组为水平极化的辐射结构组,第二辐射结构和第四辐射结构组成的辐射结构组为垂直极化的辐射结构组,且与第一辐射结构和第三辐射结构(具体为辐射结构组中的第一辐射体的第二端)电连接的馈电部分布在金属凹槽的一条对称轴上,与第二辐射结构和第四辐射结构电连接的馈电部分布在金属凹槽的另一条对称轴上。那么,如图6所示,在天线单元工作的全频段(即天线单元能够覆盖的所有频段)内,天线单元的端口隔离度均小于-50dB。然而,通常天线单元的端口隔离度为-10dB即可满足实际使用需求,且天线单元的端口隔离度越小,天线单元的端口间的相互影响越小,因此通过上述设置方式可以提高天线单元的端口的极化隔离度,从而可以进一步优化天线单元的极化性能。
可选的,本发明实施例中,与位于同一条对角线上的两个馈电部电连接的信号源的幅值相等,相位相差180度。如此可以使得本发明实施例提供的天线单元馈电方式为差分馈电方式,从而可以进一步提高天线单元的数据传输速率,即可以进一步提高天线单元的通信容量和通信速率。
可选的,本发明实施例中,结合图2,如图7所示,天线单元20还可以包括设置在金属凹槽201内的目标绝缘体204,该目标绝缘体204可以承载上述M个辐射结构203。
其中,上述每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第二端可以与上述M个馈电部中的不同馈电部,在目标绝缘体中电连接。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述M个辐射结构中的辐射结构可以承载在上述目标绝缘体上,也可以承载在目标绝缘体内。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
本发明实施例中,上述目标绝缘体不仅可以承载上述M个辐射结构,还可以隔离该M个辐射结构和金属凹槽,从而在天线单元的工作过程中,可以减少该M个辐射结构与金属凹槽之间的互相干扰。
可选的,如图5所示,本发明实施例中,上述目标绝缘体可以包括第一绝缘体204a和第二绝缘体204b。
其中,第一绝缘体204a可以承载上述M个辐射结构,每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体203a的第二端可以与位于第二绝缘体204b中的M个馈电部中的不同馈电部电连接。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一绝缘体的截面形状可以与金属凹槽的开口形状相同。例如矩形或圆形等任意可能的形状。
相应的,上述第二绝缘体的截面形状也可以与金属凹槽的开口形状相同。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述第一绝缘体的截面形状和第二绝缘体的截面形状还可以为任意可以满足实际使用需求的形状。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一绝缘体的材料可以为塑胶或者泡沫等任意可能的材料;上述第二绝缘体的材料也可以为塑胶或者泡沫等任意可能的材料。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一绝缘体的材料和第二绝缘体的材料可以相同,也可以不同。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述第一绝缘体的材料可以为相对介电常数和损耗角正切值均比较小的绝缘材料;上述第二绝缘体的材料也可以为相对介电常数和损耗角正切值均比较小的绝缘材料。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例,在承载上述M个馈电臂的前提下,第一绝缘体的材料和第二绝缘体的材料的损耗角正切值越小,该第一绝缘体和第二绝缘体对天线单元的辐射效果的影响越小。也就是说,上述第一绝缘体的材料和第二绝缘体的材料的损耗角正切值越小,第一绝缘体和第二绝缘体对天线单元的工作性能影响越小,天线单元的辐射效果越好。
可选的,本发明实施例中,每个辐射结构中的第三辐射体的表面可以与金属凹槽的开口所在的表面齐平。
可选的,本发明实施例中,如图5所示,上述每个辐射结构中的第二辐射体203b的第一端可以与第一辐射体203a的第一端电连接,每个辐射结构中的第二辐射体203b的第二端与第三辐射体203c电连接。其中,第二辐射体203b的第二端与第三辐射体203c均可以与金属凹槽201开口所在的表面齐平。
当然,实际实现时,上述辐射结构中的第二辐射体还可以位于金属凹槽内,即第二辐射体的第二端可以低于金属凹槽开口所在的表面,具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
本发明实施例中,由于第三辐射体在金属凹槽内的位置不同,天线单元的性能也可能不同,因此可以根据实际使用需求设置上述第三辐射体的位置,从而可以使得天线单元的设计更加灵活。
进一步的,由于第三辐射体与金属凹槽开口所在的表面齐平时,第三辐射体可以直接向外辐射电磁波,可以减少金属凹槽内的其它部件对第三辐射体的影响,从而可以提高本发明实施例提供的天线单元的辐射性能。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述各个附图所示的天线单元均是以结合本发明实施例中的一个附图为例示例性的说明的。具体实现时,上述各个附图所示的天线单元还可以结合上述实施例中示意的其它可以结合的任意附图实现,此处不再赘述。
本发明实施例提供一种电子设备,该电子设备可以包括上述如图2至图7中任一实施例提供的天线单元。对于天线单元的描述具体可以参见上述实施例中对天线单元的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
本发明实施例中的电子设备可以为移动电子设备,也可以为非移动电子设备。示例性的,移动电子设备可以为手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、车载终端、可穿戴设备、超级移动个人计算机(ultra-mobile personal computer,UMPC)、上网本或者个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)等,非移动电子设备可以为个人计算机(personal computer,PC)、电视机(television,TV)、服务器或柜员机等,本发明实施例不作具体限定。

本发明实施例中,上述地板可以为电子设备中的PCB、金属中框,或者为电子设备的显示屏等任意可以作为虚拟地的部分。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述第一天线可以为电子设备的第二代移动通信系统(即2G系统)、第三代移动通信系统(即3G系统),以及第四代移动通信系统(即4G系统)等系统的通信天线。本发明实施例中的集成在电子设备中的天线单元(金属凹槽、M个馈电部和M个馈电臂单元等部件形成的天线单元)可以为电子设备的5G系统的天线。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述至少一个第一凹槽可以设置在壳体的同一边框中,也可 以设置在不同的边框中。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
可选的,本发明实施例中,电子设备的壳体上可以设置有多个第一凹槽,从而可以在电子设备中设置多个本发明实施例提供的天线单元,从而可以使得电子设备中包括多个天线单元,以提升电子设备的天线性能。
本发明实施例中,当电子设备中设置有多个天线单元时,根据天线单元的结构,可以缩小相邻两个第一凹槽之间的距离,即缩小相邻两个天线单元间隔的距离,如此可以在电子设备包括较少数量的天线单元情况下,增大天线单元中的辐射结构(具体可以为辐射结构中的第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体)辐射的电磁波的波束的扫描角度,从而可以增大电子设备的毫米波天线的扫描范围。
可选的,本发明实施例中,天线单元中的金属凹槽可以为电子设备的壳体的一部分。可以理解,金属凹槽可以为电子设备的壳体上设置的凹槽。
可选的,本发明实施例中,电子设备的壳体可以为电子设备中的非毫米波天线的辐射体。
本发明实施例中,由于电子设备的壳体还可以作为电子设备中非毫米波天线的辐射体,如此可以使得电子设备中的天线(毫米波天线和非毫米波天线)整合为一体,从而可以大幅缩小电子设备中的天线所占用的空间。
可选的,本发明实施例中,上述金属凹槽可以设置在电子设备的壳体的金属边框上。
示例性的,如图9所示,本发明实施例提供的电子设备4的壳体40中可以设置有至少一个金属凹槽201,天线单元中的M个辐射结构和M个馈电部等部件可以设置在金属凹槽201内(实际中,在图9示意的电子设备的角度,金属凹槽是不可见的)。

可以理解,在金属凹槽设置在壳体的边框(例如上述第一金属边框等)的情况下,本发明实施例中的金属凹槽的侧壁、金属凹槽底部等部分均可以为电子设备的一部分,具体可以为本发明实施例提供的壳体的边框的一部分。
本发明实施例中,由于可以基于电子设备的金属边框设置上述金属凹槽,以在金属边框上设置本发明实施例提供的天线单元,因此可以不影响电子设备的金属质感,以保持电子设备的金属边框的完整性,如此可以保持电子设备的金属占比。
另外,使用电子设备的金属边框本身作为天线单元的反射器,以获得较高增益,同时天线单元对电子设备内部的环境和器件不敏感,便于电子设备的结构堆叠的设计。
可选的,本发明实施例中,电子设备的壳体中可以设置多个金属凹槽,并在每个金属凹槽内设置本发明实施例中的M个辐射结构和M个馈电部等部件,以使得电子设备中可以集成多个本发明实施例提供的天线单元,如此这些天线单元可以形成天线阵列,从而可以提高电子设备的天线性能。
本发明实施例中,如图10所示,为本发明实施例提供的天线单元辐射频率为28GHz的信号时,天线单元辐射的方向图;如图11所示,为本发明实施例提供的天线单元辐射频率为39GHz的信号时,天线单元辐射的方向图。由图10和图11可见,天线单元在28GHz的最大辐射方向,与天线单元在39GHz的最大辐射方向相同,因此本发明实施例提供的天线单元适合组成宽带的天线阵列。如此,电子设备可以设置至少两个金属凹槽,并在每个金属凹槽中均设置上述M个辐射结构和M个馈电部等部件,以使得电子设备中包括多个本发明实施例 提供的天线单元,从而可以使得电子设备中包括该天线单元组成的天线阵列,进而可以提高电子设备的天线性能。
可选的,本发明实施例中,在电子设备中集成多个本发明实施例提供的天线单元的情况下,相邻两个天线单元之间间隔的距离(即相邻两个金属凹槽之间间隔的距离)可以根据天线单元的隔离度和该多个天线单元形成的天线阵列的扫描角度确定。具体可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不作限定。
可选的,本发明实施例中,电子设备的壳体中设置的金属凹槽的数量可以根据金属凹槽的尺寸和电子设备的壳体的尺寸确定,本发明实施例对此不作限定。
示例性的,如图12所示,为本发明实施例提供的壳体上设置的多个天线单元在Z轴正向(如图9所示的坐标系)上的仰视图。假设金属凹槽为矩形凹槽,如图12所示,第三金属边框43上设置有本发明实施例提供的多个天线单元(每个天线单元由壳体上的金属凹槽201、设置在金属凹槽底部M个馈电部(未在图中示出),以及设置在金属凹槽内的M个辐射结构203等部件形成)。
需要说明的是,本发明实施例中,上述图12是以第三金属边框上设置的4个天线单元为例进行示例性说明的,其并不对本发明实施例形成任何限定。可以理解,具体实现时,第三金属边框上设置的天线单元的数量可以根据实际使用需求确定,本发明实施例不做任何限定。
本发明实施例提供一种电子设备,该电子设备可以包括天线单元。该天线单元可以包括:金属凹槽,设置在金属凹槽底部的M个馈电部,以及设置在金属凹槽内的M个辐射结构;其中,该M个辐射结构中的每个辐射结构包括第一辐射体、与第一辐射体的第一端电连接的第二辐射体,以及与第二辐射体电连接的第三辐射体;且每个辐射结构中的第一辐射体的第二端与M个馈电部中的不同馈电部电连接,以及该M个辐射结构按照第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内,M为大于1的整数。通过该方案,由于辐射结构包括第一辐射体、第二辐射体和第三辐射体,因此当馈电部将交流信号传输到辐射结构上时,经由辐射体的电流的路径可以有多种,例如第一辐射体上形成的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体的电流路径,第一辐射体到第二辐射体、再到第三辐射体的电流路径等,如此经由辐射结构辐射的电磁波的频率也可以有多个,如此可以使得天线单元获得更宽的带宽,从而可以增加天线单元覆盖的频段。并且由于M个辐射结构按照第一顺序环绕设置在金属凹槽内,因此可以使得该M个辐射结构中的各个辐射结构之间的距离较大,如此可以减小该M个辐射结构之间的干扰,从而可以提高天线单元的端口隔离度,进而可以进一步提高天线单元的性能。
需要说明的是,在本文中,术语“包括”、“包含”或者其任何其他变体意在涵盖非排他性的包含,从而使得包括一系列要素的过程、方法、物品或者装置不仅包括那些要素,而且还包括没有明确列出的其他要素,或者是还包括为这种过程、方法、物品或者装置所固有的要素。在没有更多限制的情况下,由语句“包括一个……”限定的要素,并不排除在包括该要素的过程、方法、物品或者装置中还存在另外的相同要素。
