一种可能的实施方式中,所述折合天线的主辐射体包括相对间隔设置的第一辐射段和第二辐射段,所述折合天线还包括连接在所述第一辐射段和所述第二辐射段之间,且与所述第一辐射段和所述第二辐射段共同构成环状架构的第一连接段和第二连接段,在所述第二频段下,所述第一连接段和所述第二连接段参与所述偶极子天线的辐射。对于折合天线而言,第一辐射段和第二辐射段和延伸方向为第一方向,第一辐射段和第二辐射段为折合天线的主辐射体,工作状态下,第一辐射段和第二辐射段的电流分布同向,第一连接段和第二连接段连接在第一辐射段和第二辐射段之间,实现第一辐射段和第二辐射段的辐射能量的同相叠加。
本申请突破了传统折合天线两个辐射体相互靠近的限定,在水平长度和垂直间距进行了均衡,可以做到小型化的设计。为了设计小型化的天线,在不影响折合天线辐射性能的前提下,第一方向上,第一辐射段和第二辐射段的尺寸设计为:λh/4 ̄λh/3,第二方向上,第一连接段和第二连接段的尺寸设计为:λh/10 ̄λh/2,λh为折合天线的谐振波长。本申请在现有折合天线的基础上,缩小水平长度,同时拉天第一辐射段和第二辐射段的间隙,使二者之间具有一定的空间差,从而实现二元阵列效果。本申请提供的折合天线中,与第一辐射段连接的部分第一连接段和第二连接段与第一辐射段共同构成半波辐射体,即半波辐射体整体结构为非直线形,而是直线的两端具有弯折结构。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一连接段包括沿第三方向往复延伸的第一走线,所述第一走线用于形成无辐射感性加载,以减少所述折合天线的尺寸,所述第三方向与所述第二方向形成夹角。本申请通过第一走线的设置,使得第一辐射段和第二辐射段之间的垂直间距拉开,同时,其水平长度得到缩小,这样,在水平长度和垂直间距进行了均衡,实现了小型化的设计。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一辐射段和所述第二辐射段之间形成容纳空间,所述第一走线的延伸路径位于所述容纳空间内。第一走线占用第一辐射段和第二辐射段之间的容纳空间,此架构有利于节约天线所占的空间。
所述第一走线往复延伸的周期包括多个,第一辐射段的端点和第二辐射点的端点之间的连线为第一连接段和第二连接段设置的基准位置,第一走线自这个基准位置向容纳空间内延伸,第一走线延伸的一个周期可以理解为:从基准位置向容纳空间内部延伸,再返回基准位置上的一个往复路径。第一走线往复延伸的周期可以为一个,两个或多个。第一走线形成分布电感,在折合天线中具有电感加载作用,相较直线结构,第一走线的感性值更高,从而相对直线结构能够缩小折合天线的尺寸。第一直线延伸的周期数不同,分布电感产生变化,周期数越多能替代的直线部分(此直线部分指的是第一辐射段和第二辐射段端点之间的直接连线的架构)越多,第一走线具有调谐折合天线带宽的作用,帮助折合天线在小尺寸上,亦可以实现良好的谐振辐射,保护折合天线的辐射性能。
第一走线延伸的路径可以是规则的,也可以是不规则的,当然规则的路径设计有利于调谐天线的带宽。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一走线延伸的路径呈蛇形、锯齿形或波浪线形。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一走线包括多段相互平行的第一线,相邻的所述第一线之间通过第二线连接,以形成连续延伸的所述第一走线。第一线的延伸方向可以平行于第一辐射段,也可以与第一辐射段之间形成夹角,换言之,第一线的延伸方向可以为第一方向,也可以相较第一方向形成夹角,第二线可以平行于第二方向,也可以相较第二方向形成夹角。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一连接段还包括对称分布在所述第一走线两侧的第三线和第四线,所述第一走线与所述第一辐射段之间通过所述第三线连接,所述第一走线与所述第二辐射段之间通过所述第四线连接。本实施方式中,第一走线两侧还包括第三线和第四线,第三线可以作为第一辐射段的延伸,参与第一辐射段的辐射,同理,第四线可以作为第二辐射段的延伸,参与第二辐射段的辐射,这样可以使得折合天线形成小尺寸架构。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第三线和所述第四线的延伸方向均为所述第二方向,即第三线与第一辐射段垂直连接,第四线与第二辐射段垂直连接。其它实施方式中,第三线与第一辐射段之间也可以形成锐角或钝角的连接有关系,同样,第四线与第二辐射段之间亦可形 成锐角或钝角的连接有关系。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二连接段包括依次连接在所述第一辐射段和所述第二辐射段之间的第五线、第二走线和第六线,所述第二走线为沿第三方向往复延伸的架构,用于形成无辐射感性加载,以减少所述折合天线的尺寸,所述第五线和所述第三线和所述第一辐射段共同构成半波辐射体。
以穿过第一辐射段的中点且在第二方向上延伸线为中心线,第一走线和第二走线对称分布在所述中心线的两侧。第一辐射段可以呈直线状,也可以为其它形状延伸的带状线,第一辐射段以所述中心线为中心呈对称分布。
本申请通过对折合天线在第二方向上将两个主辐射体(即第一辐射段和第二辐射段)恰当分离,通过在第一连接段和第二连接段中引入第一走线和第二走线的架构,形成感性加载以缩小尺寸,可以实现折合天线具有前后双向宽波束高增益辐射特性。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述第二辐射段包括第一主体、第二主体和馈电枝节,所述第一主体包括第一连接端和第一馈电端,所述第一连接端连接至所述第一连接段,所述第二主体包括第二连接端和第二馈电端,所述第二连接端连接至所述第二连接段,所述第一馈电端和所述第二馈电端相对设置且二者之间形成间隙,所述馈电枝节连接至所述第一馈电端,所述馈电枝节形成开口朝向所述第二主体的包围空间,所述第二主体至少部分伸入所述包围空间,所述第二馈电端位于所述包围空间内,所述馈电枝节和所述包围空间内的部分所述第二主体构成共面波导结构,所述第二主体设有馈电孔,所述馈电孔用于供第一馈线穿过,通过所述第一馈线与所述馈电共面波导结构电连接,以对所述折合天线馈电。
本申请通过在折合天线馈电侧的半波辐射体(即第二辐射段)上引入共面波导结构,形成了三叉戟馈电结构。采用正交布局的方式实现天线激励,即馈电线(可以为射频同轴线)垂直于折合天线所在的平面,例如折合天线为设置在介质板的一个表面上的微带线形式,馈电线穿过介质板上的过孔对折合天线进行馈电,馈电线的外导体穿过过孔并直接与过孔所在的辐射臂相连,即馈电线穿过第二主体上的馈电孔,其外导体与第二主体相连,外导体与第二主体之间可以通过焊接固定并电连接。馈电线的内导体及绝缘介质穿过馈电孔并弯折,内导体与第一主体电连接,同样内导体与第一主体之间亦可通过焊接固定并电连接。绝缘介质起到隔绝内导体与第二主体的作用,减少短路风险。
一种可能的实现方式中,所述偶极子天线包括高频辐射单元和低频辐射单元,高频辐射单元和低频辐射单元的主要辐射部分均在第二方向上延伸,偶极子天线整体呈长方形布置,长方形的长边在第二方向上。所述耦合结构连接至所述低频辐射单元,所述低频辐射单元的工作频率为所述第二频段,所述高频辐射单元的工作频率为第三频段和第四频段,所述第四频段高于所述第三频段,所述第三频段高于所述第二频段。高频辐射单元具有较宽的频带范围,例如5.1GHz-7GHz,具体的应用场景下,可以根据不同的应用场景的需求,选择其中一部分频段作为一个工作频带,这样,高频辐射单元可以执行具有不同辐射功能的第三频段和第四频段。这样,偶极子天线形成三频垂直极化天线架构,三个频段分别为:第二频段为2.4GHz-2.5GHz,第三频段为5.1GHz-5.9GHz,第四频段为Sub7G:6-7GHz。
偶极子天线包括一个馈电端口,折合天线也包括一个馈电端口,且偶极子天线和折合天线的极化正交。本申请提供的天线为四频双极化双馈的天线架构。

低频上辐射体包括两条并列设置且延伸方向均为第二方向的传输线,这两条传输线对称分布在低频辐射单元的中轴线的两侧,这两条传输线靠近折合天线的一端与耦合结构的第二耦合线连接,这两条传输线远离折合天线的一端通过上连接线连接,上连接线在第一方向上延伸,即上连接线垂直连接这两条传输线。

另一种可能的实现方式中,低频下辐射体可以为一体化的结构,即低频下辐射体包括一条较宽的辐射枝节,相当于前述实现方式中的两条传输线之间互连为一体的架构。本实施方式中,低频下辐射体同样可以为以低频辐射单元的中轴线为对称中心的对称架构,例如低频下辐射体为长方体形状。
对于低频下辐射体而言,不管是两条并列设置的传输线的架构,还是一体化的较宽的辐射枝节的架构,在低频下辐射体远离低频上辐射体的一端,均可以设置弯折延伸的延伸枝节,低频下辐射体的延伸枝节成对设置在低频辐射单元的中轴线的两侧,且延伸枝节分布在两条并列设置的传输线的架构的两侧,或者一体化的较宽的辐射枝节的架构的两侧。延伸枝节用于改善天线的物理尺寸,可以在满足谐振频率的前提下,减小天线的整体尺寸,有利于天线小型化的设计。
高频辐射单元包括高频上辐射体和高频下辐射体,一种可能的实现方式中,高频上辐射 体包括两条延伸方向均为第二方向的传输线,这两条传输线对称分布在低频上辐射体的两侧,而且,高频上辐射体的两条传输线靠近折合天线的一端分别正对折合天线的第一连接段和第二连接段,高频上辐射体的两条传输线远离折合天线的一端通过上连接线连接,上连接线同时垂直连接高频上辐射体的两条传输线和低频上辐射体的两条传输线。
一种可能的实现方式中,高频下辐射体包括两条并列设置且延伸方向均为第二方向的传输线,高频下辐射体的两条传输线对称分布在低频下辐射体的两侧。高频下辐射体的两条传输线与高频上辐射体的两条传输线可以在第二方向上一一对应共线设置。高频下辐射体的两条传输线靠近上支节的一端通过下连接线连接,下连接线在第一方向上同时连接高频下辐射体的两条传输线的端点和低频下辐射体的一端。
低频下辐射体的延伸枝节位于高频下辐射体远离上支节的一侧。即低频下辐射体的延伸枝节占用高频下辐射体的远离上支节一侧的闲置空间,改变低频下辐射体的物理尺寸的同时,不改变天线整体的尺寸,有利于天线小型化的设置。
具体而言,偶极子天线具有高频特征和低频特性,通过让高频辐射单元和低频辐射单元与折合天线极化正交,实现了偶极子天线与折合天线的极化正交,降低了在不同工作频段下偶极子天线和折合天线的相互影响。
第二方面,本申请提供一种天线模组,包括第一馈线、第二馈线和上述任一项天线,第一馈线与折合天线电连接,第二馈线与偶极子天线电连接。通过第一馈线对折合天线进行激励,产生水平极化,通过第二馈线对偶极子天线激励,产生垂直极化,构成四频双极化天线。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图,对本申请的具体实施方式进行清楚地描述。
随着通信技术的发展,家庭场景式的无线通信传输需求也越来越大。如图1所示,本申请提供的一种无线网络设备200,无线网络设备200可以为WIFI产品,其内部设置的天线(图中未示出)具有良好的水平全向性和垂直定向性,能够契合不同家庭场景下的无线通信需求。通常大部分普通家庭户型是单层户型的,该户型对于家庭无线通信的覆盖需求集中在水平全向,即同一楼层户型内的不同房间都能够被无线网络设备200所覆盖。而对于一些复式或者别墅户型家庭而言,还要满足无线网络的垂直覆盖功能,实现不同楼层的无线通信,此时就需要无线网络设备200的能量集中性好,具有垂直定向特征。
在一个具体的实施例中,如图2所示,无线网络设备200内的天线模组包括设置在基板140上的天线100、用于对天线100进行激励的第一馈线110、第二馈线120和馈电网络160。在本实施例中,天线100包括折合天线10和偶极子天线20。当馈电网络160的信号输入,折合天线10和偶极子天线20被激励,获得折合天线10和偶极子天线20在不同频率下的谐振模式,实现折合天线10的垂直定向辐射和偶极子天线20的水平全向辐射,确保了在不同频段下,无线网络设备200的水平全向和垂直定向功能。
参阅图3,本申请提供的天线100包括折合天线10、偶极子天线20和耦合结构30。
折合天线又称为折合振子天线,包括两个主辐射体,通常主辐射体为半波长的主振子和半波长的寄生振子相互靠近,主辐射体之间通过连接段连接在一起,寄生振子感应得到的电流驻波和电压驻波和主振子的不但分布相同,由于距离靠得很近,耦合很紧,大小也相同,而且相位延迟可以忽略,由于主振子和寄生振子相靠近,它们之间的连接段很短,几乎不参与辐射。
所述折合天线10的主辐射体的延伸方向为第一方向A1,所述偶极子天线的主辐射体的延伸方向为第二方向A2,所述第一方向A1和所述第二方向A2正交。在所述第二方向A2上,所述折合天线10设置在所述偶极子天线20的一端,所述折合天线10的工作频率为第一频段,所述偶极子天线20的工作频率包括第二频段(偶极子天线20可以为多频天线,例如三频天线,后续会具体阐述),所述第一频段高于所述第二频段,所述耦合结构30连接在所述折合天线10与所述偶极子天线20之间,在所述第二频段下,所述耦合结构30产生谐振,使得所述折合天线10参与所述偶极子天线20的辐射,在所述第一频段下,所述耦合结构30具隔离功能。
对于第一方向A1和第二方向A2的定义,可以理解为:如图3所示,两端具有箭头的指示线标示为第一方向A1和第二方向A2,指的是所在直线的延伸方向,不限定具体朝向直线的哪一端延伸,例如,第一方向A1,可以理解为沿着直线向左延伸,也可以理解为沿着直线向右延伸,只要是在直线的方向上即可。
本申请通过耦合结构30将折合天线10和偶极子天线20集成为一体,通过耦合结构30在第一频段下隔离效果及在第二频段下的直通效果,使得折合天线10不仅可以执行自己的工作频段,还可以参与偶极子天线20第二频段下的辐射,折合天线10的辐射体可以参与不同天线的辐射,且性能上彼此独立。通过设置折合天线10的主辐射体的延伸方向为第一方向A1,偶极子天线20的主辐射体的延伸方向为第二方向A2,第一方向A1与第二方向A2正交,使得折合天线10和偶极子天线20的极化正交,实现了折合天线10和偶极子天线20之间高隔离度的极化分离和空间分集。本申请提供的天线100兼具小尺寸和辐射性能好的优势。
参阅图4,所述折合天线10的主辐射体包括相对间隔设置的第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12,所述折合天线10还包括连接在所述第一辐射段11和所述第二辐射段12之间,且与所述第一辐射段11和所述第二辐射段12共同构成环状架构的第一连接段13和第二连接段14,如图4所示,折合天线10整体呈长方形架构,第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12构成长边。偶极子天线20整体亦呈长方形架构,但偶极子天线20的长边方向为第二方向A2,垂直于折合天线10的长边方向。第一连接段13和第二连接段14在偶极子天线20的长边方向上延伸,在所述第二频段下,所述第一连接段13和所述第二连接段14用于参与所述偶极子天线20的辐射。对于折合天线10而言,第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12和延伸方向为第一方向A1,第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12为折合天线10的主辐射体,工作状态下,第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12的电流分布同向,第一连接段13和第二连接段14连接在第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12之间,实现第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12的辐射能量的同相叠加。
本申请将折合天线10为在传统折合天线的基础上做了改良设计,本申请突破了传统折合天线的两个辐射体相互靠近的限定,在水平长度和垂直间距进行了均衡,可以做到小型化的设计。为了设计小型化的天线,在不影响折合天线10辐射性能的前提下,第一方向A1上,第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12的尺寸设计为:λh/4 ̄λh/3,第二方向上,第一连接段13和第二连接段14的尺寸设计为:λh/10 ̄λh/2,λh为折合天线10的谐振波长。本申请在传统折合天线10的基础上,缩小水平长度,同时拉开第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12的间隙,使二者之间具有一定的空间差,从而实现二元阵列效果。本申请提供的折合天线10中,第一辐射段11与部分第一连接段13和部分第二连接段14共同构成连续延伸的半波辐射体,即半波辐射体整体结构为非直线形,而是直线的两端具有弯折结构。
第一辐射段11的延伸方向为第一方向A1的限定可以理解为第一辐射段11的延伸趋势为 第一方向A1,可以理解为:第一辐射段11只为直线形结构时,其延伸方向单纯为第一方向A1,没有偏离第一方向A1的枝节;本申请不限定第一辐射段11为直线形,第一辐射段11也可以为非直线形,或在直线形的基础上增加短小的枝节,短小的枝节不影响其延伸趋势,第一辐射段11可以在直线形传输线的基础上做变形,例如,参阅图5,图5简单示意了一种折合天线10的架构,其中,第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12设计为具有规则或不规则的波浪形传输线延伸结构,波浪形传输线延伸趋势为第一方向A1可以理解为:从波浪形传输线的一端至另一端的方向为第一方向A1,将波浪线作为一个较宽的矩形传输结构来看,总体上的延伸趋势是矩形的长边方向,即第一方向A1。
本申请可以通过增加第一辐射段11的宽度(即第一辐射段11在第二方向上的尺寸)来增强折合天线10的辐射能力,如图11所示的实施例中的第一辐射段11的宽度大于图4及图7-图9几个图示所示的实施例子中的第一辐射段11的宽度。
参阅图4和图6,所述第一连接段13包括依次连接的第三线131、第一走线132和第四线133。第一走线132沿第三方向往复延伸(图4中未标示第三方向,此实施方式中,第三方向与第一方向A1相同,其它实施方式中,第三方向也可以与第一方向A1形成夹角),所述第一走线132用于形成无辐射感性加载,以减少所述折合天线10的尺寸,所述第三方向与所述第二方向A2形成夹角。所述第二连接段14包括依次连接在所述第一辐射段11和所述第二辐射段12之间的第五线141、第二走线142和第六线,所述第二走线142为沿第三方向往复延伸的架构,用于形成无辐射感性加载,以减少所述折合天线10的尺寸,所述第五线141和所述第三线131和所述第一辐射段11共同构成半波辐射体。本申请通过第一走线132和第二走线142的设置,使得第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12之间的垂直间距拉开,同时,第一辐射段11在第一方向A1上的长度(即水平长度)得到缩小,这样,在水平长度和垂直间距进行了均衡,实现了折合天线10小型化的设计。
接下来,主要详细阐述第一走线132的具体结构,第二走线142的具体结构可以与第一走线132相同,不再赘述。
所述第一辐射段11和所述第二辐射段12之间形成容纳空间101,第一走线132和第二走线142的延伸路径位于所述容纳空间101内。第一走线132占用第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12之间的容纳空间101,此架构有利于节约天线100所占的空间。第一走线132对应第一辐射段11的一端的边缘区域设置,第二走线142对应第一辐射段11的另一端的边缘区域设置。第一走线132在第一方向A1上的延伸的尺寸不超过λh/4,λh为折合天线10的谐振波长。第二走线142和第一走线132之间保持间距,以保证折合天线10的辐射效果,电流主要集中在第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12上。
具体而言,参阅图6,所述第一走线132包括多段相互平行的第一线1321,相邻的所述第一线1321之间通过第二线1322连接,以形成连续延伸的所述第一走线132。第一线1321的延伸方向可以平行于第一辐射段11,也可以与第一辐射段11之间形成夹角,换言之,第一线1321的延伸方向可以为第一方向A1,也可以相较第一方向A1形成夹角,第二线1322可以平行于第二方向A2,也可以相较第二方向A2形成夹角。
所述第一走线132往复延伸的周期包括多个,第一辐射段11的端点和第二辐射点的端点之间的连线为第一连接段13和第二连接段14设置的基准位置(如图4中虚线L所在的连线位置),第一走线132自这个基准位置向容纳空间内延伸,第一走线132延伸的一个周期可以理解为:从基准位置向容纳空间内部延伸,再返回基准位置上的一个往复路径。第一走线132 往复延伸的周期可以为一个,两个或多个。第一走线132形成分布电感,在折合天线10中具有电感加载作用,相较直线结构,第一走线132的感性值更高,从而相对直线结构能够缩小折合天线10的尺寸。第一直线延伸的周期数不同,分布电感产生变化,周期数越多能替代的直线部分(此直线部分指的是第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12端点之间的直接连线的架构)越多,帮助折合天线10在小尺寸上,亦可以实现良好的谐振辐射,保护折合天线10的辐射性能。
第一走线132延伸的路径可以是规则的,也可以是不规则的,当然规则的路径设计有利于调谐天线的带宽。所述第一走线132延伸的路径可以呈蛇形、锯齿形或波浪线形。

一种可能的实现方式中,高频下辐射体212包括两条并列设置且延伸方向均为第二方向的传输线2121,2122,高频下辐射体212的两条传输线2121,2122对称分布在低频下辐射体222的两侧。高频下辐射体212的两条传输线2121,2122与高频上辐射体211的两条传输线2111,2112可以在第二方向上一一对应共线设置。高频下辐射体212的两条传输线2121,2122靠近上支节的一端通过下连接线24连接,下连接线24在第一方向A1上同时连接高频下辐射体212的两条传输线2121,2122的端点和低频下辐射体222的一端。
低频下辐射体222的延伸枝节223位于高频下辐射体212远离上支节的一侧。即低频下辐射体222的延伸枝节223占用高频下辐射体212的远离上支节一侧的闲置空间,改变低频下辐射体222的物理尺寸的同时,不改变天线整体的尺寸,有利于天线小型化的设置。

实施例中的第一馈线110和第二馈线120上有电流经过,必然会导致馈线周围存在电磁场,让第一馈线110和第二馈线120正交设计目的在于使第一馈线110和第二馈线120周围的感应场正交,这样感应场之间的相互影响最小,传输效率最高。
具体而言,偶极子天线20具有高频特征和低频特性,通过让高频辐射单元21和低频辐射单元22与折合天线10极化正交,实现了偶极子天线20与折合天线10的极化正交,降低了在不同工作频段下偶极子天线20和折合天线10的相互影响。
本申请在折合天线10和偶极子天线20之间设置耦合结构30,耦合结构30可以选择地通过固定频段的电磁波,例如,在本申请具体实施方式中,偶极子天线20的低频辐射体工作在第二频段时,耦合结构30产生谐振,使电流通过,使得折合天线10参与偶极子天线20低频辐射单元22的辐射,在折合天线10的工作频段下,即第一频段下,耦合结构30阻隔电流通过。具体而言,耦合结构30具有通低频阻高频的作用。耦合结构30的具体形态如下。
参阅图7、图8和图9,一种可能的实现方式中,所述耦合结构30包括第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32,所述第一耦合线31连接至所述折合天线10,所述第二耦合线32连接至所述偶极子天线20,所述第一耦合线31和所述第二耦合线32之间形成间隙,且构成串联的等效电感和电容,通过第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32之间的电磁耦合作用将折合天线10和偶极子天线20连接在一起,形成一体化的天线架构。
本实施方式中,第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32呈直线状,第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32的延伸方向均为第二方向A2,在第一方向A1上,部分第一耦合线31和部分第二耦合线32层叠设置,且形成间隙。所述第一耦合线31垂直于所述折合天线10的主辐射体,具体而言,第一耦合线31垂直于第二辐射段12,所述第二耦合线32平行于所述第一耦合线31。第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32之间的间隙为等距离分布,这样方便调谐谐振频率。
参阅图11,另一实施方式中,所述第二耦合线32的数量为两个,两个所述第二耦合线32平行设置布在所述第一耦合线31的两侧。具体而言,偶极子天线20的低频辐射单元221与折合天线10之间形成间隔空间,耦合结构30设置在此间隔空间内。两条第二耦合线32在第一耦合线31的两侧形成两个并联的电容结构,形成类似共面波导的结构,通过双间隙增加耦合系数,从而实现调谐频率,这种架构可以缩小折合天线10和偶极子天线20之间的距离,即可以减小第二方向上的耦合带线的长度,有利于天线整体小尺寸的设计。
其它实施方式中,第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32也可以具有弯折延伸的部分,例如将第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32设计为L形或弧形等结构,只要保证二者之间形成间隙,构成串联的等效电容和电感。
具体调试过程中,可以根据不同的工作频率和带宽的要求,调节第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32的长度、宽度及二者之间的间隙,也可以通过调节第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32的延伸的形状进行调节谐振频率。
天线工作在第二频段时,第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32形成的分布电感与电容形成谐振,使得串联电路的阻抗小,近似直通连接。当天线工作在第一频段时,第一耦合线31和第二耦合线32形成的串联电路为非谐振状态,呈现高阻抗特性,近似断开的效果。本实施方式通过两条耦合线形成串联的电感电容电路,即可实现通低频阻高频的作用,本申请提供的耦合结构30连接于折合天线10和偶极子天线20之间,具有结构简单节约空间的优势,有利于天线小型化的设计。
当第一馈线为折合天线10的馈电时,折合天线10工作在第一频段状态下,即Sub7G:6-7GHz,天线的电流分布如图12和图13所示,图中箭头指示的方向为电流的分布和方向。图12可以清楚地看到很少的电流流进偶极子天线20上,图13为图12的截图,图13主要表达折合天线10上的电流分布,特别是在图13中清楚地看到第二辐射体段12上的电流分布与第一辐射段11上的电流分布是相同的,因为第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12形成能量叠加。本申请的天线在第一频段工作状态下,耦合结构30具有高阻抗特性,使得电流集中在折合天线10上,偶极子天线20上分布的电流很少,耦合结构30在偶极子天线20和折合天线10之间形成隔离作用。第一辐射段11和第二辐射段12上的电流分布均呈水平状态,图中所示的从右至左的箭头方向,而且,第一连接段13和第二连接段14均有部分参与辐射,上半部分电流从第二连接段14的第五线141与第二走线142连接的位置向上流向第一辐射段11,沿着第一辐射段11向左流向第一连接段13的第三线131,再沿着第三线131流向第一走线132;下半部分的电流从第二连接段14的第六线与第二走线142连接的位置向下流向第二辐射段12,再沿着第二辐射段12向左流向第一连接段13的第四线133,再沿着第四线133向上流向第一走线132。第一走线132和第二走线142在第二方向上的中心位置为电流零点。
当第二馈线为偶极子天线20馈电时,偶极子天线20工作在第二频段状态下时,即2.4GHz-2.5GHz,此时,偶极子天线20的低频辐射单元22工作,以2.45GHz信号为例,天线的电流分布如图14所示,第二频段下,耦合结构30形成谐振,使得串联电路的阻抗小,近似直通连接,折合天线10参与低频辐射单元22的工作,电流流向为第二方向,图14中左侧箭头指示的方向为电流的分布和方向,很明显,电流从低频辐射单元22远离折合天线10的一端流向折合天线10远离低频辐射单元22的一端,即电流从天线的底端一直流向顶端,中间直接通过耦合结构30。
偶极子天线20工作在第四频段下时,即Sub7G:6-7GHz,以6.5GHz信号为例,天线的电流分布如图15,在第四频段下,电流主要分布在偶极子天线20的高频辐射单元21上,如图15中右侧箭头指示的为电流的分布和方向。耦合结构30此时具有高阻抗特性,使得电流集中在高频辐射单元21上,电流流向为第二方向,从高频辐射单元21靠近折合天线10的一端流向高频辐射单元21远离折合天线10的一端。耦合结构30在偶极子天线20和折合天线10之间形成隔离作用。

图17、图18显示了偶极子天线20在2G,6G频率下对应的天线辐射方向图。图19显示了折合天线10在6G频率下对应的天线辐射方向图。可以看到折合天线10水平极化辐射体具有前后双向的宽波束高增益辐射特性,偶极子天线20具有全向辐射性能。
本申请提供的天线在满足折合天线10和偶极子天线20辐射性能的前提下,具有小尺寸的优势。具体而言,在第二方向A2上,天线的总长度为λL/2,λL为偶极子天线20的低频辐射单元22的谐振波长;在第一方向A1上,天线的总长度为小于λh/2,λh为折合天线10的谐振波长,具体实施方式中,在第一方向A1上,天线的总长度为λh/4 ̄λh/3。其中折合天线10在第二方向A2上的尺寸为λh/10 ̄λh/2。
本申请提供的天线不限于印制在介质板上的微带线形式,也可以为金属结构,或者微带线与金属结构相结合,例如折合天线10为金属结构,偶极子天线20为印制在介质板上的微带线结构,耦合结合可以为微带线结构,耦合结构30与折合天线10连接的可以通过焊接固定,或者金属弹片导电连接等连接方式。
以上所揭露的仅为本申请较佳实施例而已,当然不能以此来限定本申请之权利范围,本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分流程,并依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化,仍属于申请所涵盖的范围。
