随着移动通信技术的不断发展,玻璃窗的附加功能属性日益显著。其中,天线和玻璃窗的融合应用就成为了最具代表性的应用之一。传统天线由于无法做到透明化,其在与透明玻璃窗融合使用时,首先,影响玻璃窗整面环境的美观。其次,由于玻璃对电磁波的强衰减特点,当天线紧贴附于玻璃窗时,天线无法得到有效地电磁能量辐射,最终导致天线增益低的问题。因此,设计出既能保证天线的高增益性能的同时,并能确保天线实现透明化的天线设计方案将会成为一种5G美化天线的趋势。

具体实施方式
为使本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明的技术方案,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明作进一步详细描述。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本公开所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样,“一个”、“一”或者“该”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词 前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
本公开实施例不限于附图中所示的实施例,而是包括基于制造工艺而形成的配置的修改。因此,附图中例示的区具有示意性属性,并且图中所示区的形状例示了元件的区的具体形状,但并不是旨在限制性的。
本公开实施例提供一种透明天线,其可应用在包括但不限于汽车、火车(包括高铁)、飞机、建筑物等的玻璃窗系统中。该透明天线可以固定在玻璃窗的内侧(靠近室内的一侧)。由于透明天线的光学透过率较高,故其在实现通信功能是同时对玻璃窗的透过率影响并不大,且该种透明天线也将成为一种美化天线的趋势。其中,本公开实施例中的玻璃窗包括但不限于双层玻璃,玻璃窗的类型还可以是单层玻璃、夹层玻璃、薄玻璃及厚玻璃等。本公开实施例中以该贴附有透明天线的玻璃窗应用在地铁车窗系统为例进行说明。该透明天线的工作频率范围在2515MHz-2675MHz。
图1示意出一种透明天线的截面图;如图1所示,该透明天线包括相对设置的第一基板和第二基板。其中,第一基板可以包括第一介质层10、参考电极层5、至少一个第一辐射部3;第一介质层10包括相对设置的第一表面(下表面)和第二表面(上表面);参考电极层5设置在第一表面上,第一辐射部3设置在的第二表面上。第二基板包括第二介质层20和第二辐射部4;第二介质层20包括相对设置的第三表面(下表面)和第四表面(上表面);第二辐射部4设置在第四表面,且第一介质层10的第二表面和第二介质层的第三表面之间可以填充空气隙。第二辐射部4可以与第一辐射部3一一对应设置,且对应设置的第二辐射部4和第一辐射部3在第一介质层10上的正投影至少部分重叠。当然,对于该透明天线而言,其还可以包括馈电结构(图1中未视),该馈电结构可以与第一辐射部连接。
图1所示的透明天线可以是接收天线,也可以是发射天线,亦可以是同 时进行发送信号和接收信号的收发天线,在透明天线进行发送信号时,每个馈电结构的第一馈电端口接收射频信号,馈电结构将射频信号分为多个子信号,每个子信号由一个第二馈电端口输出给该第二馈电端口连接的第一辐射部,第一辐射部3再将子信号馈向该第一辐射部3对应设置的第二辐射部4;在透明天线进行接收信号时,任一个第二辐射部4接收到射频信号后,将射频信号馈向与该第二辐射部对应设置的第一辐射部3,第一辐射部3再将射频信号通过与之连接的第二馈电端口传输给第一馈电端口。
图1所示的透明天线由于设置了第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4,且第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4相对设置,信号(例如射频信号)经由第一辐射部3馈给第二辐射部4,因此相较于仅设置一个辐射部的情况,相对的第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4增加了辐射单元的辐射面积,从而有效提高了辐射效率。在图1所示的透明天线的基础上,本公开开实施例提供一种性能更优化的透明天线,以下对本公开实施例中的透明天线进行具体说明。
第一方面,图2为本公开实施例的透明天线的立体图;图3为本公开实施例的透明天线的爆炸图;图4为本公开实施例的透明天线第一基板的俯视图;图5为图4的A-A'截面图;图6为本公开实施例的透明天线的第二基板的部分截面图;如图1-6所示,本公开实施例提供一种透明天线,其包括相对设置的第一基板和第二基板。第一基板包括第一介质层10、参考电极层5、至少一个第一辐射部3和至少一个馈电结构6。第二基板包括第二介质层20和至少一个第二辐射部4。其中,第一介质层10包括相对设置的第一表面(下表面)和第二表面(上表面);参考电极层5设置在第一介质层10的第一表面上,第一辐射部3和馈电结构6设置在第一介质层10的第二表面上,且馈电结构6被配置为给第一辐射部3进行馈电,例如:馈电结构6包括第一馈电端口601和第二馈电端口602,馈电结构6的第二馈电端口602直接与第一辐射部3电连接,第一馈电端口601被配置为接收和/或发送射频信号。第二介质层20包括相对设置的第三表面和第四表面,且第三表面相较第四表面更靠近第一介质层10的第二表面,并与第二表面相对设置;例如,在第二表面和第三表面之间形成支撑部9,以维持二者之间的间隙。 第二辐射部4设置在第二介质层20的第四表面上,且一个第二辐射部4在第一介质层10的第一表面上的正投影位于一个第一辐射部3在第一介质层10的第一表面上的正投影内。例如:第二辐射部4与第一辐射部3一一对应设置,且对应设置的第一辐射部3的面积小于第二辐射部4的面积。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例中的透明天线可以是接收天线,也可以是发射天线,亦可以是同时进行发送信号和接收信号的收发天线。其中,在本公开实施例中均以第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4均为多个,且二者一一对应为例进行说明。图1中仅示意了第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4的数量均为四个,但不对本公开实施例构成限制。参考电极层5包括但不限于接地电极层,在本公开实施例中,以参考电极层5为接地电极层为例进行说明。
当透明天线进行发送信号时,馈电结构6的第一馈电端口601接收射频信号,馈电结构6将射频信号分为多个子信号,每个子信号由一个第二馈电端口602输出给该第二馈电端口602连接的第一辐射部3,第一辐射部3再将子信号馈向与之正对的第二辐射部4;在辐射天线进行接收信号时,任意一个第二辐射部4接收到射频信号后,将射频信号馈向与该第二辐射部4正对的第一辐射部3,第二辐射部4再将射频信号通过与该第一辐射部3连接的第二馈电端口602传输给第一馈电端口601。
本公开实施例中所提供的透明天线,由于设置了第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4,通过第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4配合对射频信号进行辐射,相较仅设置一个第一辐射部3的天线而言,有效的提高了辐射效率。而且本公开实施例的天线为透明天线,有助于天线的美化。
在一些示例中,第一介质层10的第二表面和第二介质层20的第三表面之间的距离为第一距离,也即第一介质层10和第二介质层20之间存在一定的间隙,此时在第一介质层10和第二介质层20之间可以为空气隙。第一介质层10的第二表面和第三介质层的第四表面之间的距离为第二距离,第二距离与第一距离的比值不小于1.12,进一步的,第二距离与第一距离的比值不小于1.37。在本公开实施例中第二距离与第一距离的比值可以根据透明天线的辐射效率进行具体限定。在一些示例中,图7为本公开实施例的透明天 线的支撑结构的示意图;如图1、2、7所示,本公开实施例中的透明天线不仅包括上述的第一基板和第二基板,而且还包括支撑结构,该支撑结构至少与第一基板相固定,以使第一基板和第二极板能够与待固定的表面相固定,且使得第二辐射部与待固定的表面之间存在一定间距。其中,透明天线待固定的表面是指待固定的玻璃窗表面。应当理解的是,当支撑结构固定在玻璃窗表面时,支撑结构与第二辐射部在玻璃窗表面上的正投影无重叠。在本公开实施例中,支撑结构可以是支撑框7,该支撑框7固定在第一基板和第二基板的外围,以使第二辐射部4与辐射透明天线玻璃窗表面存在一定间距。当然,支撑结构还可以是支撑柱,支撑柱的数量可以为多个,均匀的连接在第一介质层10的周边区,以使使第二辐射部4与透明天线玻璃窗表面存在一定间距。而由于支撑框7与玻璃窗表面的接触面积相交支撑柱而言更大,在本公开实施例中以支撑结构优选采用支撑框7。
进一步的,透明天线具有辐射区和环绕辐射区的周边区;支撑框7具有与周边区相适配的侧壁。例如;周边区的轮廓为四边形,此时,支撑框7的侧壁则为矩形环,也即如图1所示。其中,侧壁具有相对设置的第五表面(下表面)和第六表面(上表面),第一介质层10的第二表面可以与第五表面连接,以实现第一基板与支撑框7的固定。例如:在第一介质层10的周边区形成有螺纹通孔,在支撑框7侧壁的第五表面上形成螺纹盲孔,将螺钉拧入螺纹通孔和螺纹盲孔中,以使第一介质层10与支撑侧壁相固定。当支撑框7的侧壁为矩形环时,可以在支撑侧壁的第五侧面的四个拐角位置分别形成螺纹盲孔,相应的在第一介质层10的周边区的四个拐角位置分别形成螺纹通过,通过四个螺钉分别与对应设置的螺纹通孔和螺纹盲孔固定连接,以完成第一介质层10与支撑侧壁相固定。需要说明的是,以上是以支撑框7和第一介质层10采用螺接的方式进行固定的,在实际产品中,支撑框7与第一介质层10之间还可以采用胶粘的方式固定连接,例如:在支撑框7的第五表面或者第一介质层10的第二表面上涂覆一层透明光学胶,通过透明光学胶将第五表面和第二表面相粘结,以使支撑框7和第一介质层10连接。该种方式工艺简单,且成本较低,且并不会增加透明天线的整体厚度。当然, 支撑框7和第一介质层10还可以采用卡扣连接的方式等。
在本公开实施例的透明天线中,第二辐射部4被限定在支撑框7侧壁所围成的空间内,且第二辐射部4所在平面与侧壁的第六表面之间存在一定的间距。由于玻璃本身介电常数以及正切角损耗较大,当天线辐射出的射频信号射入玻璃窗表面后,射频信号的能量便开始大幅衰减。并且,射入玻璃窗内部的射频信号会沿玻璃面外延方向扩散,从而放宽了透射出玻璃窗外的波束宽度,最终导致天线的增益降低。然而,在本公开实施例中,将透明天线通过其上的支撑框7与玻璃窗相固定时,可以使得第二辐射部4与玻璃窗之前存在一定间距,即使该间距较小,依然可以保证良好的辐射特性,即高增益特性。
例如:图8为本公开实施例的透明天线与玻璃窗表面固定的示意图;如图8所示,支撑框7可以使得第二辐射部4与玻璃窗表面之间的间距为d;
Figure PCTCN2021096837-appb-000002
thickness表示玻璃窗的表面的厚度;ε r表示玻璃窗的表面的介电常数。需要说明的是,当玻璃窗采用双层玻璃时,此处的thickness表示玻璃窗的内侧玻璃厚度;例如:双层玻璃总厚度为18mm,中间空气夹层9mm,外侧玻璃厚度5mm,内侧玻璃厚度为4mm,也即thickness为4mm。ε r表示内侧玻璃的介电常数。在一个示例中,当内侧玻璃厚度为4mm时,第二辐射部4与玻璃窗表面之间的间距在d为10mm(0.086λc;λc:中心频率波长)。在该种情况下,将透明天线贴附在玻璃窗后天线增益较高,例如不低于8dBi。另外,第二辐射部4距离玻璃窗距离越远,辐射性能越优异。
在一些示例中,第二辐射部4与玻璃窗表面之间的间距d与第一介质层的第二表面与第二介质层的第四表面之间的距离(第二距离)的比值不小于1.18。通过合理的设置d和第二距离的比值,可以提高辐射效率。
在一些示例中,支撑框7的材质可以包括塑料,例如:聚碳酸酯塑料(Polycarbonate;PC)、环烯烃聚合物塑料(Copolymers of Cycloolefin;COP)或者亚克力/有机玻璃(Polymethyl Methacrylate;PMMA)等。当支撑框7与玻璃窗固定时,可以采用胶粘贴于玻璃窗上。
在一些示例中,在本公开实施例中,第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4一一对应设置,且第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4的图形相同,与图1所示的结构相类似。例如:第一辐射部3第二辐射部4形状均为圆形或者多边形等。在一个示例中,第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4均为中心对称图形,且二者的中心在第一介质层10的第一表面上的正投影重合。在本公开实施例中,以第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4均为多边形,且每个多边形的内角均大于90°。例如:多边形为八边形,其包括依次连接第一侧边、第二侧边、第三侧边、第四侧边、第五侧边、第六侧边、第七侧边和第八侧边;第一侧边的延伸方向和第五侧边的延伸方向相同,且与第三侧边的延伸方向垂直;第一馈电结构的一个第二馈电端口和第二馈电结构的一个第二馈电端口分别连接在第二侧边和第四侧边上。此时,该多边形相当于将正方形的四个直角切除,形成平倒角,之所以形成平倒角的是为了实现阻抗匹配,以降低损耗。
在一些示例中,图9为本公开实施例的透明天线的第一辐射部的示意图;如图9所示,第一辐射部3的第二侧边、第四侧边、第六侧边和第八侧边的长度相同,第一侧边和第五侧边段长度相等,第三侧边和第七侧边的长度相同;第一侧边的延长线和第三侧边的延长线的交点P3到平倒角之间的最短距离为S1,第一辐射部的中心P3到第二侧边之间的最小距离为S2;S1和S2的比值取决于阻抗的要求,例如S2:S1=2:1。相应的,第二辐射部4与第一辐射部3采用形同的形状。
在以下描述中均以第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4均为图9所示的形状为例。
在一些示例中,如图4所示,该透明天线为一双极化天线,其包括两个馈电结构6,分别用第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62表示。第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62均包括一个第一馈电端口601和四个第二馈电端口602。其中,第一馈电结构61的四个第二馈电端口602与四个第一辐射部3一一对应连接,且第一馈电结构61的第二馈电端口602与第一辐射部3的连接节点为第一节点P1。第二馈电结构62的第二端口分别与四个第一辐射部3一一对应连接,第二馈电结构62的第二馈电端口602与第一辐射部3 的连接节点为第二节点P2。同时,对于任意一个第一辐射部3,其上第一节点P1与中心O的连线的延伸方向与第二节点P2与中心O的连线的延伸方向相交,也即,第一节点P1、第二节点P2和中线O不在同一条直线上。也就是说,第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62对同一第一辐射部3的馈电方向不同,从而实现双极化透明天线。
在一个示例中,对于任意一个第一辐射部3,当该第一辐射部3的各个平倒角尺寸均相同时,第一馈电结构61的第二馈电端口602和第二馈电结构62的第二馈电端口602分别连接在两个相邻的平倒角上,此时,可以实现第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62对同一第一辐射部3的馈电方向不同。
进一步的,对于任意一个第一辐射部3,当第一馈电结构61的第二馈电端口602和第二馈电结构62的第二馈电端口602分别连接在两个相邻的平倒角的中点上时,该第一辐射部3上的第一节点与中心的连线的延伸方向与第二节点与中心的连线的延伸方向相互垂直。例如:第一馈电结构61的馈电方向为水平方向,则第二馈电结构62的馈电方向则为垂直方向。当然,第一馈电结构61的第二馈电端口602和第二馈电结构62的第二馈电端口602也可以无需分别连接在两个相邻的平倒角的中点,只要满足第一馈电结构61的第二馈电端口602与第一辐射部3的连接节点与该第一辐射部3的中心的连线的延伸方向,与第二馈电结构62的第二馈电端口602与第一辐射部3的连接节点与该第一辐射部3的中心的连线的延伸方向非重合即可。
在一些示例中,继续参照图3,第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62分设在第一辐射部3的两侧,且以贯穿一个第一辐射部上的一条边的中垂线为对称轴,第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62镜像对称。通过该种设置方式,可以第一介质层10的第一表面上的各个器件分布均匀,可以获得较好的辐射方向和增益,同时还可以保证透明天线的光学透过率均一。
在一些示例中,第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62均可以为功分馈电网络;例如:第一辐射部3的数量为2 n个,且各第一辐射部3沿所述透明天线的长度方向间隔设置;第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62均包括n级 第一微带线603;位于第1级的一个第一微带线603连接两个相邻的所述第一辐射部3,且位于第1级的不同的第一微带线603所连接的第一辐射部3不同;位于第m级的一个第一微带线603连接位于第m-1级的两个相邻的所述第一微带线603,位于第m级的不同的第一微带线603连接的位于第m-1级的第一微带线603不同;其中,n≥2,2≤m≤n,m、n均为整数。
需要说明的是,在第一馈电结构61中,位于第1级的第一微带线603与第一辐射部3连接的一端作为第一馈电结构61的第二馈电端口602,位于第n级的第一微带线603不与位于第n-1级的第一微带线603的一端作为第一馈电结构61的第一馈电端口601。在第二馈电结构62中,位于第1级的第一微带线603与第一辐射部3连接的一端作为第二馈电结构62的第二馈电端口602,位于第n级的第一微带线603不与位于第n-1级的第一微带线603的一端作为第二馈电结构62的第一馈电端口601。
在一个示例中,继续参照图3,第一辐射部3的数量为四个,第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62均采用一分二、二分四两级第一微带线603。在第一馈电结构61中,位于第1级的两个第一微带线603的两端(作为第二馈电端口602)分别连接两个相邻的第一辐射部3;位于第2级的第一微带线603的两端分别连接位于第1级的两条第一微带线603(连接在第一微带线603的中点),位于第2级的第一微带线603的中点位置具有一端口作为第一馈电端口601。同理,在第二馈电结构62中,位于第1级的两个第一微带线603的两端(作为第二馈电端口602)分别连接两个相邻的第一辐射部3;位于第2级的第一微带线603的两端分别连接位于第1级的两条第一微带线603(连接在第一微带线603的中点),位于第2级的第一微带线603的中点位置具有一端口作为第一馈电端口601。
在一些示例中,第一馈电结构61的第一馈电端口601连接第一连接电极101,作为第一馈电端;第二馈电结构62的第一馈电端口601连接第二连接电极102,作为第二馈电端。在一个示例中,第一连接电极101和第二连接电极102的材料包括但不限于铜,例如还可以采用铝、银等金属材料。在本公开实施例优选采用铜材质的连接电极,以此可以有效的降低射频信号 的插损。
进一步的,参照图2,透明天线中不仅包括上述结构,还包括:第一连接器8和第二连接器(图中未视),第一连接器8和第二连接器的结构相同,第一连接器8和第二连接器均固定在参考电极层5背离第一表面的一侧;且第一连接器通过贯穿参考电极层5、第一介质层10的第一过孔与第一连接电极101电连接;第二连接电极器通过贯穿参考电极层5、第一介质层10的第二过孔与第二连接电极102电连接。需要说明的是,第一连接器8和第二连接器8只是与参考电极层5相固定,但实际上第一连接器8和第二连接器8与参考电极层5是绝缘设置的,第一连接器8和第二连接器8的内芯则是与对应馈电端进行电连接。例如,第一连接器8和第二连接器8包括但不限于SMA(Small A Type)连接器。
在一些示例中,如图4和5所示,第一基板的第一介质层10包括叠层设置的第一基材11、第一固定板12和第二基材13。第一基材11和第一固定板12之间可以通过第一粘合层固定连接;第二基材13和第一固定板12之间可以通过第二粘合层固定连接。其中,第一基材11的背离第一固定板12的表面为第一表面,第二基材13背离第一固定板12的表面为第二表面。也就是说,参考电极层5设置在第一基材11背离第一基材11的表面,第一辐射部3和馈电结构6设置在第二基材13背离第一固定板12的表面。
其中,第一基材11和第二基材13的材料可以相同,也可以不同;例如,第一基材11和第二基材13均采用柔性薄膜,该柔性薄膜的材料包括但不限于聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(Polyethylene Terephthalate;PET)或者聚酰亚胺(PI)等。在本公开实施例中,以第一基材11和第二基材13均采用PET为例进行说明。其中,第一基材11和第二基材13的厚度大约在50-250μm左右。由于第一基材11和第二基材13材质柔软,无法为第一辐射部3、馈电结构6和参考电极层5提供良好的支撑,易产生形变导致无法获得期望的辐射效果,因此通过第一固定板12来维持第一基板的刚度,该第一固定板12的材料包括但不限于聚碳酸酯塑料(Polycarbonate;PC)、环烯烃聚合物塑料(Copolymers of Cycloolefin;COP)或者亚克力/有机玻璃(Polymethyl  Methacrylate;PMMA)。第一固定板12的厚度大约在1-3mm左右。第一粘合层和第二粘合层的材料可以相同,也可以不同,例如:第一粘合层和第二粘合层的材料均采用透明光学胶(Optically Clear Adhesive;OCA)。
图10为本公开实施例的透明天线的第一辐射部的俯视图;如图10所示,第一辐射部3和参考电极层5包括但不限于金属网格,该金属网格可以包括交叉设置的多条第一金属线301和多条交叉设置的第二金属线302。其中,各第一金属线301沿第一方向并排设置,且沿第二方向延伸;各第二金属线302沿第一方向并排设置,且沿第三方向延伸。
在一些示例中,第一辐射部3的第一金属线301和第二金属线302的端部是连接在一起的,也即第一辐射部3的外围为一闭环结构。在实际产品中,如图10所示,第一辐射部3的第一金属线301和第二金属302线的端部也可以互不相连的,也即第一辐射部3的外围呈辐射状。同理,参考电极层5的金属网格可以按照第一辐射部相同的方式设置,故在此不再重复赘述。在本公开实施例中,所采用的各层金属网格的光线透过率在70%-88%左右。
在一些示例中,第一辐射部3和参考电极层5的金属网格的镂空部在第一介质层10上的正投影完全重叠,这样可以有效的提高透明天线的光线透过率。其中,金属网格的第一金属线301和第二金属线302的延伸方向可以相互垂直,此时则形成正方向或者矩形镂空部。当然,金属网格的第一金属线301和第二金属线302的延伸方向可以非垂直设置,例如:第一金属线301和第二金属线302的延伸方向的夹角为45°,此时则形成菱形镂空部。
在一些示例中,第一辐射部3和参考电极层5的金属网格的第一金属线301和第二金属的线宽、线厚度和线间距优选均相同,当然也可以不相同。例如:第一金属线301和第二金属线302的线宽W1均为1-30μm左右、线间距W2为50-250μm左右;线厚度为0.5-10μm左右。当第一辐射部3和参考电极层5均采用金属网格时,可以通过包括但不限于压印或者刻蚀工艺在第一基材11背离第一固定板12的表面形成参考电极层5;在第二基材13背离第一固定板12的表面形成第一辐射部3。
在一些示例中,图11为本公开实施例透明天线的第一辐射层的示意图;如图11所示,在第一介质层10的第二表面形成有第一辐射层,第一辐射层包括金属网格,该金属网格可以包括交叉设置的多条第一金属线和多条交叉设置的第二金属线。其中,各第一金属线沿第一方向并排设置,且沿第二方向延伸;各第二金属线沿第一方向并排设置,且沿第三方向延伸。其中,第一辐射层包括多个第一辐射部3和第一冗余辐射电极31,第一冗余辐射电极31和第一辐射部3之间断开设置,也即第一金属线和第二金属线在第一冗余辐射电极31和第一辐射部3的交界位置断开设置。第一辐射电极中的第一金属线和第二金属线在交叉位置断开设置。该种情况下,第一辐射部3和第一冗余辐射电极可以采用一次构图工艺形成,而且可以通过形成整层的交叉设置的第一金属线和第二金属线,之后通过对第一金属线和第二金属线进行切碎处理形成第一辐射部3和第一冗余辐射电极。在一些示例中,第一辐射层中的第一金属线和第二金属线的断开位置的宽度均在1-30um左右,当然,也可以根据透明天线的辐射要求对断开位置的宽度进行具体限定。在一些示例中,参考电极层5可以覆盖第一介质层10的第一表面。该种结构的参考电极层5方便制备。在一些示例中,参考电极层5的也可以仅与第一辐射部5和馈电结构6在第一介质层10上的正投影重叠,对于其余位置参考电极层5的材料被去除,通过该种结构可以有效的提高光线透过率。当然,应该理解的,只要参考电极层5在第一介质层10上的正投影重叠覆盖第一辐射部5和馈电结构6在第一介质层10上的正投影即可,对于参考电极层5的形状在本公开实施例中并不进行限定。
在一些示例中,在第一介质层10的第二表面和第二介质层20的第三表面之间形成有多个支撑部9,以维持第一基板和第二基板之间的间距。例如:多个支撑部9可以在第一介质层10的第二表面和第二介质层20的第三表面之间均匀排布。
在一个示例中,当第一介质层10采用上述叠层设置的第一基材11、第一固定板12和第二基材13;第一固定板12和支撑部9可以采用一体结构,在该种情况下支撑部9与第二介质层20可以通过包括但不限于热熔柱10或 者锁螺丝的方式固定。通过该种方式,可以包括第一介质层10和第二介质层20良好的固定。
在一些示例中,第二基板的第二介质层20包括叠层设置的第二固定板21和第三基材22;第三固定板和第三基材22之间可以通过第三粘合层固定连接。其中,第二固定板21背离第三基材22的表面为第三表面,第三基材22背离第二固定板21的表面为第四表面。也就是说,第二辐射部4形成在第三基材22背离第二固定板21的表面。
其中,第三基材22可以与上述的第一基材11和第二基材13的材料相同,也可以不同;例如,第三基材22与第一基材11和第二基材13相同,均采用柔性薄膜,该柔性薄膜的材料包括但不限于聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(Polyethylene Terephthalate;PET)或者聚酰亚胺(PI)等。在本公开实施例中,以第一基材11、第二基材13和第三基材22均采用PET为例进行说明。其中,第三基材22的厚度大约在50-250μm左右。由于第三基材22材质柔软,无法为第二辐射部4提供良好的支撑,因此通过第二固定板21来维持第二基板的硬度,该第二固定板21的材料包括但不限于聚碳酸酯塑料(Polycarbonate;PC)、环烯烃聚合物塑料(Copolymers of Cycloolefin;COP)或者亚克力/有机玻璃(Polymethyl Methacrylate;PMMA)。第一固定板12的厚度大约在1-3mm左右。第三粘合层与第一粘合层、第二粘合层的材料可以相同,也可以不同,例如:第三粘合层与第一粘合层、第二粘合层的材料相同,均采用透明光学胶(Optically Clear Adhesive;OCA)。
在一些示例中,第二辐射部4的尺寸可以为50mm×50mm~60mm×60mm左右,例如第二辐射部4的尺寸为55mm×55mm(0.476λc×0.476λc,λc:中心频率波长);相邻设置的第二辐射部4的之间的间距在35-100mm左右,例如相邻设置的第二辐射部4的之间的间距为75mm(0.65λc,λc:中心频率波长)。当然,对于第二辐射部4的尺寸以及各个辐射部之间的间距还可以根据透明天线的尺寸以及各种性能参数进行具体限定。
在一些示例中,第二辐射部4可以与第一辐射部的结构相同,也即优选的第二辐射部可以采用金属网格结构。例如:当第二辐射部、第一辐射部和 参考电极均采用金属网格结构时,这三者的镂空部在第一介质层10上的正投影完全重叠,以此可以提高辐射效率、增益、光学透过率。对于第二辐射部4与第一辐射部3的结构相同,区别仅在于第二辐射部4的面积比第一辐射部3的面积大,因此对第二辐射部4的具体结构不再赘述。在一些示例中如图6所示,第二基板中的第二介质层20包括叠层设置的第二固定板21和第三基材22;其中,第二固定板21包括多个子固定板;第三基材22包括多个子基材;且子固定板和子基材一一对应设置;其中,子基材背离子固定板的表面上设置一个第二辐射部4,且子基材和固定板之间通过第三粘合层粘结。
其中,子固定板可以与上述的第二固定板21采用相同材料,子基材可以与上述第三基材22采用相同材料,故在此不再一一列举。
在一个示例中,当第二固定板21包括多个子固定板时,支撑部9可以与第一固定板为一体结构,在该种情况下,可以在子固定板的各拐角位置处分别设置一个支撑部9,以保证子固定板与第一介质层10相对稳定。例如:在子固定板的四个拐角设置通孔,支撑部9上设置热熔柱10,热熔柱10与子固定板上的通过一一对应设置,二者通过热熔的方式连接在一起。
在一些示例中,支撑部9的设置可以使得对应设置的第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4之间的间距在4mm~8mm左右,通过合理的设置第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4之间的间距,可有效的减小射频信号的传输损耗。
在一些示例中,第二辐射部4可以与第一辐射部3结构相同,均采用金属网格,该金属网格的结构与上述的金属网格的第一辐射部3结构相同,故在此不再赘述。
另外,当参考电极层5、第一辐射部3和第二辐射部4均采用金属网格时,该透明天线的光线透过率可达到70%-88%左右。
在一些示例中,参考电极层5、第一辐射部3、第二辐射部4和馈电结构6的材料均包括但不限于例如铜、银、铝等金属材料,在本公开实施例对此并不进行限定。
为了更清楚本公开实施例的透明天线结构以及效果。以下给出一种具体的透明天线结构。
参照图1-6,该透明天线整体尺寸可以为420mm×180mm~360mm×140mm左右,例如透明天线整体尺寸为385mm×160mm(3.33λc×1.384λc);其包括相对设置的第一基板和第二基板,以及支撑框7。第一基板包括第一介质层10、参考电极层5、第一辐射部3、第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62;第一介质层10包括叠层设置的第一基材11、第一固定板12和第二基材13,第一基材11和第一固定板12通过第一粘合层连接,第二基材13和第二固定板21之间通过第二粘合层连接;参考电极层5设置在第一基材11背离第一固定板12的表面,主辐射层和第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62设置在第二基材13背离第一固定板12的表面。主辐射层的数量为4个,且沿该透明天线的长度方向并排间隔设置,第一馈电结构61和第二馈电结构62采用功分馈电网络,也即图3所示的馈电结构6。第二基板包括叠层设置的第二固定板21和第三基材22;其中,第二固定板21包括多个子固定板;第三基材22包括多个子基材;且子固定板和子基材一一对应设置;其中,子基材背离子固定板的表面上设置一个第二辐射部4,且子基材和固定板之间通过第三粘合层粘结。第二辐射部4的尺寸可以为50mm×50mm~60mm×60mm左右,例如第二辐射部4的尺寸为55mm×55mm(0.476λc×0.476λc,λc:中心频率波长);相邻设置的第二辐射部4的之间的间距在75mm(0.65λc)左右。其中,第一基材11、第二基材13和第三基材22均采用PET透明薄膜;第一固定板12和第二固定板21均采用塑料固定板,第一固定板12和第二固定板21的厚度在1-3mm左右。主辐射层、寄生辐射层和参考电极层5均采用金属网格,金属网格的线宽为2-30μm;线间距为50-250μm;线厚度为1-10μm。支撑框7与第一固定板12相对固定,将支撑框7通过胶材与玻璃窗相固定,该支撑框7可以使得第二辐射部4与玻璃窗表面之间的间距在10mm(0.086λc,λc为中心频率的波长)。
根据上述透明天线,发明人进行了仿真实验。图12为本公开实施例的透明天线贴附于玻璃窗的驻波比示意图。由图12可知,本公开实施例的透 明天线通过优化得到了工作频率内驻波比低于1.18的优秀匹配特性。图13为本公开实施例的透明天线贴附于玻璃窗的隔离度示意图。本公开实施例的透明天线在工作频率内隔离度大于22dB。图14为本公开实施例的透明天线贴附于玻璃窗的增益示意图。本公开实施例的透明天线可实现大于8dBi的高增益特性,保证了通信信号的收发强度。
本公开实施例所提供的透明天线,首先是以PET透明薄膜为第一基材11,并利用金属网格压印或蚀刻工艺得到表面透光性优秀的透明金属导电薄膜,并作为透明天线的参考电极层5、第一辐射部3、以及第二辐射部4。接下来,再将得到的三种不同导电膜,通过OCA光学胶贴合于厚度为1-3mm的硬质透明固定板上以提高结构的物理强度。因此,利用该工艺不仅可以实现天线优秀的透光性,还可以保证天线整体结构的可靠性,大大提高了量产性。其二,得益于天线的透明化特点,本公开实施例的透明天线可以贴附在玻璃窗使用,实现天线与玻璃窗环境的融合,起到了隐蔽及美化室内环境的作用。其三,由于玻璃本身介电常数以及正切角损耗较大,当天线辐射出的电磁波射入玻璃表面后,电磁波能量便开始大幅衰减。并且,射入玻璃内部的电磁波会沿玻璃面外延方向扩散,从而放宽了透射出玻璃外的波束宽度,最终导致天线的增益降低。然而,本公开实施例的透明天线利用透明的环状支撑框7设计,巧妙地为天线的寄生辐射面与玻璃窗内表面预留出了有效辐射间隙10mm(0.086λc,λc为中心频率的波长),使本公开实施例的透明天线即使在近距离贴附玻璃窗的情况下,依然可以保证良好的辐射特性,即高增益特性。本公开实施例的透明天线距离玻璃窗距离越远,辐射性能越优异。其四,由于透明的环状支撑框7本身是中空结构,因此,支撑框7的重量得到大大减轻,从而减轻了透明天线的整体重量,对于贴附于玻璃窗后的牢固度起到重要作用。
第二方面,本公开实施例中提供一种天线系统,其可以包括上述的透明天线1,该透明天线1可以固定在玻璃窗的内侧,如图15所示。
本公开实施例中的玻璃窗系统可用于汽车、火车(包括高铁)、飞机、建筑物等的玻璃窗系统中。该透明天线1可以固定在玻璃窗的内侧(靠近室 内的一侧)。由于透明天线1的光学透过率较高,故其在实现通信功能是同时对玻璃窗的透过率影响并不大,且该种透明天线1也将成为一种美化天线的趋势。其中,本公开实施例中的玻璃窗包括但不限于双层玻璃,玻璃窗的类型还可以是单层玻璃、夹层玻璃、薄玻璃及厚玻璃等。
在一些示例中,图16为本公开实施例的一种天线系统的示意图;如图16所示,本公开实施例提供的天线系统还包括收发单元、射频收发机、信号放大器、功率放大器、滤波单元。天线系统中的透明天线1可以作为发送天线,也可以作为接收天线。其中,收发单元可以包括基带和接收端,基带提供至少一个频段的信号,例如提供2G信号、3G信号、4G信号、5G信号等,并将至少一个频段的信号发送给射频收发机。而天线系统中的透明天线1接收到信号后,可以经过滤波单元、功率放大器、信号放大器、射频收发机的处理后传输给首发单元中的接收端,接收端例如可以为智慧网关等。
进一步地,射频收发机与收发单元相连,用于调制收发单元发送的信号,或用于解调透明天线接收的信号后传输给收发单元。具体地,射频收发机可以包括发射电路、接收电路、调制电路、解调电路,发射电路接收基底提供的多种类型的信号后,调制电路可以对基带提供的多种类型的信号进行调制,再发送给天线。而透明天线接收信号传输给射频收发机的接收电路,接收电路将信号传输给解调电路,解调电路对信号进行解调后传输给接收端。
进一步地,射频收发机连接信号放大器和功率放大器,信号放大器和功率放大器再连接滤波单元,滤波单元连接至少一个透明天线1。在天线系统进行发送信号的过程中,信号放大器用于提高射频收发机输出的信号的信噪比后传输给滤波单元;功率放大器用于放大射频收发机输出的信号的功率后传输给滤波单元;滤波单元具体可以包括双工器和滤波电路,滤波单元将信号放大器和功率放大器输出的信号进行合路且滤除杂波后传输给透明天线,透明天线1将信号辐射出去。在天线系统进行接收信号的过程中,透明天线1接收到信号后传输给滤波单元,滤波单元将天线接收的信号滤除杂波后传输给信号放大器和功率放大器,信号放大器将天线接收的信号进行增益,增加信号的信噪比;功率放大器将透明天线1接收的信号的功率放大。透明天 线11接收的信号经过功率放大器、信号放大器处理后传输给射频收发机,射频收发机再传输给收发单元。
在一些示例中,信号放大器可以包括多种类型的信号放大器,例如低噪声放大器,在此不做限制。
在一些示例中,本公开实施例提供的天线系统还包括电源管理单元,电源管理单元连接功率放大器,为功率放大器提供用于放大信号的电压。
可以理解的是,以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本发明的原理而采用的示例性实施方式,然而本发明并不局限于此。对于本领域内的普通技术人员而言,在不脱离本发明的精神和实质的情况下,可以做出各种变型和改进,这些变型和改进也视为本发明的保护范围。
