It can be seen that there are current strong points and current weak points distributed on the radiator of the ILA antenna. At the point where the current is strong, the electric field is weak and the magnetic field is strong. Correspondingly, at the current weak point, the electric field is stronger and the magnetic field is weaker.

In the context of less and less space reserved for antennas in electronic devices, current loop antennas have become a very competitive form of antenna.
  • a current loop ILA antenna is taken as an example. At one end of a typical antenna radiator a feed point can be connected. Unlike typical ILA antennas, the radiator of the antenna can be grounded via a capacitor at the end away from the feed point.

具体实施方式
电子设备中可以通过设置一个或多个天线实现其无线通信功能。
一般而言,电子设备中的天线形式可以是多样的。比如,电子设备中的天线形式可以包括单极子(monopole),偶极子(dipole)等形式。
示例性的,以倒置的L型天线(The Inverted-L Antenna,ILA)为例。ILA天线可以是单极子天线的一种实现方式。该ILA天线在工作时,可以基于其辐射体的尺寸,在对应的工作频段激励获取至少一个谐振。其中,ILA天线的辐射体的长度可以对应到工作频段对应波长的1/4。也就是说,ILA天线可以通过工作在1/4波长,实现工作频段的覆盖。
图1为一种ILA天线的电场分布示意图。可以看到,在ILA天线的辐射体上,会分 布有电流强点和电流弱点。在电流强点,电场较弱,磁场较强。对应的,在电流弱点,电场较强,磁场较弱。由于电流强点和电流弱点之间的电位差,在ILA天线上可以分布有如图1所示的电流。一般而言,以馈电点设置在ILA天线辐射体的一端为例。馈电点所在辐射体的一端为电流强点,不同于馈电点的另一端则为电流弱点。
基于如图1所示的电流分布,图2示出了该ILA天线在工作过程中,磁场的分布情况。可以看到,辐射体靠近馈电点的一端附近磁场较强,而对应的远离馈电点的一端附近磁场较弱。
结合图1和图2的说明,可以理解的是,在典型的天线(如单极子等)工作时,可以通过在天线的辐射体上不同位置激励不同强度的电流,从而使得天线工作在对应的模式。比如图1所示的1/4波长模式,进而获取对应频段的谐振覆盖工作频段,实现工作频段的无线信号的收发。在天线的辐射体上分布有不同强度的电流时,天线附近空间中分布的电场/磁场也不均匀。
不同于上述典型的天线,电流环天线作为一种新的天线形式,采用与典型天线类似的结构,能够激励天线辐射体周围产生均匀分布的磁场,由此产生谐振覆盖工作频段。电流环天线的激励形式不同于1/4波长模式等常规天线的激励,其实现更为简单,因此对环境的要求更低。在电子设备中为天线预留空间越来越少的背景下,电流环天线称为了一种极具竞争力的天线形式。
示例性的,以电流环ILA天线为例。在典型天线辐射体的一端可以连接馈电点。不同于典型的ILA天线,在远离馈电点的一端,天线的辐射体可以通过电容接地。由此即可实现在ILA天线附近激励均匀磁场的效果。即实现了电流环ILA天线的辐射效果。
图3示出了电流环ILA天线的一种电流分布情况。如图3所示,在电流环ILA天线上,天线辐射体上的电流可以与附近的参考地上的电流(如参考地上靠近天线的边上的电流)形成闭合的电流回路,由此形成“电流环”的特征。图4示出了该电流环ILA天线附近的磁场分布情况。可以看到,在天线辐射体附近,形成了均匀的磁场分布。在本申请实施例中,均匀的磁场分布,可以是指在距离电流环天线辐射体的相同距离处,由于天线辐射产生的空间中的磁场强度接近或相同。
应当理解的是,图3以及图4仅示出了以ILA天线为基础的电流环天线的结构示意以及工作情况。在另一些场景下,基于目前常用的天线,如其他形式的单极子天线,偶极子天线,缝隙天线,左手天线等,都可以通过简单的结构处理,使得该天线具有电流环天线的辐射特征。
本领域技术人员应当了解的是,天线工作过程中,馈电的设置对天线的配置以及正常工作是非常重要的。其中,馈电的设置可以包括馈电的形式,以及馈电的位置。
以馈电的形式为例。在不同场景下,馈电的形式可以包括直接馈电(简称为直馈),以及耦合馈电等形式。其中,在对天线采用直馈进行馈电时,可以通过馈电部件实现。馈电部件的一端可以与发送/接收信号的与射频端连接的微带线耦接,馈电部件的另一端可以与天线辐射体耦接。这样,通过馈电部件,就可以将来自射频端的信号传输给天线辐射体进行辐射,或者,将天线接收到的信号传输给射频端进行处理。在一些的实现中,馈电部件可以通过导电弹片,顶针等部件与天线辐射体进行刚性连接。在另一些实现中,馈电部件的功能还可以是通过焊接等工艺实现电信号在微带线与天线辐射体之间 的导通的。
可以看到,无论采用何种直馈的具体实现,都需要在微带线与天线辐射体之间预留足够的空间设置馈电部件。同时为了能够进行较好的馈电,对馈电部件的设置也有较高的要求。相较之下,耦合馈电可以通过电场耦合/磁场耦合的形式,实现对天线辐射体上电流的激励。因此不需要实体部件(如馈电部件)与天线辐射体直接耦接。从而使得在空间不允许设置馈电部件直接与天线辐射体进行耦接时,也能够激励天线进行工作。
前述说明中,图1-图4中均设置有馈电部件(如图中所示的馈电点)实现对天线的直馈。而目前还没有较好的技术方案,能够通过耦合馈电激励电流环天线进行工作。由此也限制了电流环天线的使用。
为了解决上述问题,本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电机制,能够在不同的辐射体场景下,有效激励天线辐射体进行具有电流环天线辐射特征的辐射,如激励天线辐射体产生均匀的磁场进行辐射。由此实现了对电流环天线的耦合馈电。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电方案,能够适用于不同的电流环天线中。如基于单极子天线的电流环单极子天线(如电流环ILA天线),基于偶极子天线的电流环偶极子天线,基于左手天线的电流环左手天线,基于缝隙(slot)天线的电流环缝隙天线等。
以下结合实例以及附图,对本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电方案及其在不同电流环天线中具体使用进行详细说明。
首先对本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电方案所应用的电流环天线的设置环境进行说明。
本申请实施例涉及的电流环天线,可以应用在用户的电子设备中,用于支持电子设备的无线通信功能。比如,该电子设备可以是手机、平板电脑、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)\虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、媒体播放器等便携式移动设备,该电子设备也可以是智能手表等可穿戴电子设备。本申请实施例对该设备的具体形态不作特殊限制。
请参考图5,为本申请实施例提供的一种电子设备500的结构示意图。如图5所示,本申请实施例提供的电子设备500沿z轴由上到下的顺序可以依次设置屏幕及盖板501,金属壳体502,内部结构503,以及后盖504。
其中,屏幕及盖板501可以用于实现电子设备的显示功能。金属壳体502可以作为电子设备500的主体框架,为电子设备500提供刚性支撑。内部结构503可以包括实现电子设备500各项功能的电子部件以及机械部件的集合。比如,该内部结构503可以包括屏蔽罩,螺钉,加强筋等。后盖504可以为电子设备500背部外观面,该后盖504在不同的实现中可以包括玻璃材料,陶瓷材料,塑料等。
本申请实施例提供的电流环天线方案能够应用在如图5所示的电子设备500中,用于支撑该电子设备500的无线通信功能。比如,该电流环天线可以设置在电子设备500的金属壳体502上。又如,该电流环天线可以设置在电子设备500的后盖504上等。
作为一种示例,以金属壳体502具有金属边框架构为例,图6示出了一种金属壳体502的组成示意。在本示例中,金属壳体可以采用金属材料,如铝合金等。如图6所示,该金属壳体上可以设置有参考地。该参考地可以为具有较大面积的完整的金属材料,用 于提供大部分刚性支撑,同时为各个电子部件提供零电位参考。在如图6所示的示例中,在参考地外围还可以设置有金属边框。该金属边框可以是完整的一个闭合的金属边框,也可以是如图6所示的通过一个或多个缝隙打断的金属边框。比如,在如图6的示例中,金属边框上可以分别在不同位置设置缝隙1,缝隙2以及缝隙3。这些缝隙可以打断金属边框,从而获取独立的金属枝节。在一些实施例中,这些金属枝节中的部分或全部可以用于作为天线的辐射枝节使用,从而实现天线设置过程中的结构复用,降低天线设置难度。在金属枝节作为天线的辐射枝节使用时,对应在金属枝节一端或两端设置的缝隙的位置可以根据天线的设置而灵活选取。
在如图6所示的示例中,金属边框上还可以设置一个或多个金属引脚。在一些示例中,金属引脚上可以设置有螺丝孔,用于通过螺钉固定其他结构件。在另一些示例中,金属引脚可以与馈电点耦接,以便在该金属引脚连接的金属枝节作为天线的辐射枝节使用时,通过金属引脚向天线进行馈电。在另一些示例中,金属引脚还可以与其他电子部件耦接,实现对应的电连接功能。
在本示例中,同时也示出了印制线路板(printed circuit board,PCB)在金属壳体上的设置示意。其中以主板(main board)和小板(sub board)分板设计为例。在另一些示例中,主板和小板还可以是连接的,比如L型PCB设计。在本申请的一些实施例中,主板(如PCB1)可以用于承载实现电子设备500的各项功能的电子部件。比如处理器,存储器,射频模块等。小板(如PCB2)也可以用于承载电子部件。比如通用串行总线(Universal Serial Bus,USB)接口以及相关电路,音腔(speak box)等。又如,该小板还可以用于承载设置在底部(即电子设备的y轴负方向部分)的天线对应的射频电路等。
本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电的电流环天线均能够应用于具有如图5或图6所示的组成的电子设备中。
上述示例中的电子设备500仅为一种可能的组成。在本申请的另一些实施例中,电子设备500还可以具有其他组成。比如,为了实现电子设备500的无线通信功能,在电子设备中可以设置有如图7所示的通信模块。该通信模块可以包括天线,与天线进行信号交互的射频模块,以及与射频模块进行信号交互的处理器。示例性的,射频模块与天线之间的信号交互可以为模拟信号的交互。射频模块与处理器之间的信号交互可以为模拟信号或者数字信号。在一些实现中,处理器可以为基带处理器。
如图7所示,在本示例中,天线可以包括不同形式。比如,可以包括电流环天线。作为一种可能的实现,该电流环天线可以是通过耦合馈电进行馈电的。
为了便于说明,在以下示例中,均以该结构对应电子设备的背视图进行设置为例。比如,电子设备的背视图中,后置摄像头模组可以位于电子设备的左上角。以该后置摄像头模组为参考,远离该后置摄像头模组的水平方向可以为x轴正方向,对应向右的方向。相对的,靠近该后置摄像头模组的水平方向可以为x轴负方向,对应向左的方向。后者摄像头模组可以设置在电子设备上y轴正方向的部分,对应向上的方向。相对的,与y轴正方向反向即为y轴负方向,对应向下的方向。基于上述x轴和y轴的设置,z轴正方向为沿电子设备的背面向正面(即显示屏)射出的方向,对应向里的方向。相对的,z轴负方向为沿电子设备的正面向背面射出的方向,对应向外的方向。以下说明中 均以图7所示的坐标系设置进行说明。需要说明的是,该坐标系的设置仅为便于说明,并不构成对本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电方案的任何限定。
以下结合图8和图9对本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电形式进行说明。
参考图8,示出了在耦合馈电时,电流环天线上的电流情况。可以看到,在本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电的电流环天线中,可以包括辐射枝节以及馈电枝节。其中,辐射枝节与馈电直接不导通。馈电点设置在馈电枝节上。馈电枝节通过电场/磁场耦合,将能量耦合到辐射枝节上,激励辐射枝节进行辐射。其中,辐射枝节可以是能够进行电流环辐射的辐射体。
在该耦合馈电的电流环天线工作时,辐射枝节上的电流方向可以与作为参考地的地板(如地板接近电流环天线的边)的电流方向反向。从而形成辐射枝节与地板组成的电流环,进行具有电流环天线辐射特征的辐射。在本申请实施例中,为了能够激励获取上述电流环,在同一时刻,馈电枝节上的电流可以与辐射枝节上的电流反向,与参考地上的电流同向。具有该特征的馈电枝节能够激励电流环天线的辐射,同时不需要直接将信号馈电到辐射枝节上,也就实现了基于耦合馈电的电流环天线的辐射。
需要说明的是,在不同实施例中,可以通过在辐射枝节上设置串联和/或并联电容,获取上述效果。比如结合图8,可以在位置1设置电容等。对于电容的位置以及数量的限定,将在后续示例中结合实际场景详细说明,此处不再赘述。
图9给出了具有图8所示的电流特征的天线在工作时的磁场分布情况。可以看到,在辐射枝节附近产生了均匀的磁场,因此符合电流环天线的辐射特征。可以理解的是,本申请实施例提供的电流环天线的辐射枝节上可以通过设置电容(如通过电容接地),基于电容对于电能的储能特性,使得辐射枝节上同一时刻不同位置的电流分布差异不会过大,即产生均匀电流。由此基于辐射枝节上的均匀电流。类似的,在参考地上也可以产生均匀的电流,该电流的方向可以与辐射枝节的方向相反,从而形成闭合的均匀电流环,这样就可以在辐射枝节附近(如辐射枝节与参考地之间的区域)获取均匀分布的磁场。由此确定通过如图7所示的馈电枝节的耦合馈电,能够成功激励电流环天线的辐射。
需要说明的是,图8以及图9所示的组成,意在说明本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电方案所需要满足的电流分布特征。图8以及图9的示意并不构成对辐射枝节和/或馈电枝节的结构限定。
示例性的,本申请实施例涉及的电流环天线的辐射枝节,在具体的设计中,可以在末端设置至少一个电容(如第一电容C1,和/或第二电容C2),如图13A所示。其中,该末端可以指不同于馈电端的一端。例如,在辐射枝节的一端与馈电点耦接时,那么该辐射枝节的另一端可以通过设置第一电容C1或者C2接地。又如,在辐射枝节的中间位置设置有馈电点时,则辐射枝节的两个端点均未与馈电点耦接,那么该辐射枝节的两个端点可以分别通过第一电容C1以及C2接地。
其中,末端设置的电容(如C1以及C2)的大小可以根据该电流环天线的工作频段确定。例如,下表1给出了基于不同的工作频段划分的C1以及C2的取值范围的一种示例。
表1
工作频段 末端电容范围
低频 [1.5pF,15pF]
中频 [0.5pF,15pF]
高频 [1.2pF,12pF]
在表1的示例中,可以看到,在电流环天线的工作频段为低频(Low Band,LB)时,设置在辐射枝节的末端的电容C1以及C2的大小可以包括在[1.5pF,15pF]之内。在电流环天线的工作频段为中频(Mid Band,MB)时,设置在辐射枝节的末端的电容C1以及C2的大小可以包括在[0.5pF,15pF]之内。在电流环天线的工作频段为高频(High Band,HB)时,设置在辐射枝节的末端的电容C1以及C2的大小可以包括在[1.2pF,12pF]之内。
其中,其中的LB,MB,HB是低中高频段,包括不限于蓝牙(Bluetooth,BT)通信技术、全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)通信技术、无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)通信技术、全球移动通讯系统(global system for mobile communications,GSM)通信技术、宽频码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)通信技术、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)通信技术、5G通信技术、SUB-6G通信技术以及未来其他通信技术等,LB频段可以是覆盖450MHz-1GHz,MB频段可以是覆盖1GHz-3GHz,HB频段可以是覆盖3GHz-10GHz,其中包括5G NR,WiFi 6E,UWB等常见频段。
本申请实施例提供的电流环天线,还可以通过在辐射枝节上串联一个或多个第三电容C3,使得激励获取的磁场分布更加均匀,由此达到提升天线辐射效率的效果。示例性的,以下表2示出了天线的工作频段与串联在辐射枝节上的C3的电容值所在范围的一种对应的示例。
表2
工作频段 枝节串联电容C3的范围
低频 [2pF,25pF]
中频 [0.8pF,12pF]
高频 [0.2pF,8pF]
在表2的示例中,可以看到,在电流环天线的工作频段为低频(Low Band,LB)时,设置在辐射枝节上的串联电容C3的大小可以包括在[2pF,25pF]之内,如图22所示。在电流环天线的工作频段为中频(Mid Band,MB)时,设置在辐射枝节上的串联电容C3的大小可以包括在[0.8pF,12pF]之内。在电流环天线的工作频段为高频(High Band,HB)时,设置在辐射枝节上的串联电容C3的大小可以包括在[0.2pF,8pF]之内。
需要说明的是,上述表1和表2中电容的范围示例仅为一种举例,在不同的环境下,电容的大小还可以是灵活设置的。
本申请实施例提供的电流环天线,能够通过直馈的方式进行激励,还能够通过耦合馈电的方式进行激励。以下结合图10以及图11,对本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电情况下的馈电枝节的可能的实现进行举例说明。具有如图10以及图11所示组成的馈电枝节,在应用与如图8或图9所示的天线中时,都符合如图8所示的电流特征,能够实现对电流环天线的耦合馈电。为了便于说明,在图10和图11的说明中,仅示出了馈电枝节的组成,同时示出了参考地的位置作为参考。在实际使用过程中,可以将如图10或图11 中的任一种的馈电枝节的组成应用到如图8或图9所示的电流环天线的耦合馈电场景中。
参考图10,示出了本申请实施例提供的四种馈电枝节的可能的组成。
如图10中的(a)所示,该示例中,馈电枝节可以包括两个子枝节。如第一馈电部L1以及第二馈电部L2。L1和L2分别有一端与参考地耦接。L1和L2的不同于接地端的另一端,分别与馈电点的正负极耦接。其中,在不同的示例中,馈电点两侧,L1和L2的长度可以是不同的。比如,L1和L2的长度相同时,则L1和L2可以相对于馈电点呈左右镜像分布,也即L1和L2相对于馈电点的垂直轴线,呈轴对称结构。又如,在L1和L2的长度不同时,则馈电点也可以位于馈电枝节上偏右或偏左的位置。需要说明的是,在本示例的实现中,无论馈电点设置在辐射枝节的左侧部分或者右侧部分或者中间部分,可以看到,馈电点的正极和负极都会分别与辐射体耦接。如一端与L1耦接,一端与L2耦接。
如图10中的(b)所示,为又一种馈电枝节的可能实现。在本示例中,类似于图10中的(a)示出的方案,馈电枝节的辐射体可以由馈电点分割为两部分,如第一馈电部L1以及第二馈电部L2。L1和L2的一端分别与馈电点正负极耦接。也就是说,馈电点可以设置在辐射枝节上(如中心位置),馈电点的两端可以分别耦接辐射枝节的一部分。L1和L2的另一端可以分别通过电容接地。与图10中的(a)类似的,馈电枝节上的馈电点的具体设置位置可以是灵活的,如靠近馈电枝节的左侧部分设置,或者靠近馈电枝节的右侧部分设置,或者设置在馈电枝节的中间部分。
如图10中的(c)所示,馈电枝节可以包括一个辐射体,如第三馈电部L3。在L3的一端可以与馈电点耦接。在L3的另一端可以与参考地耦接。该示例提供的方案相较于上述示例中提供的方案,配置简单,更加易于实施。在一些实施例中,L3可以与参考地的边缘围成一个矩形或近似矩形。作为一种可能的实现,如图10中的(c)所示,L3的两端之间的距离可以等于矩形的长边。需要说明的是,在本示例的实现中,馈电点的设置可以是在L3的一个末端设置的。比如如图10中的(c)所示的,该馈电点可以设置在L3的左侧末端。也就是说,馈电点的一端可以与辐射体L3耦接,馈电点的另一端则可以与射频信号线耦接,而不需要与其他辐射体耦接。
如图10中的(d)所示,馈电枝节可以包括一个辐射体,如第三馈电部L3。该L3的一端可以与馈电点耦接,实现通过该端向辐射体的馈电,也就是说,该L3可以设置在辐射体L3的一个末端。该L3的另一端可以与参考地耦接。在本示例中,不同于图10中的(c)的结构示例,L3上还可以串联有电容(如第四电容)。在不同实施例中,该第四电容在L3上的位置可以是灵活设置的。比如,在一些实现中,该第四电容可以设置在L3的左边部分。在一些实现中,该第四电容也可以设置在L3的右边部分。在一些实现中,如图10中的(d)所示,该第四电容也可以设置在L3的中间位置。
具有如图10示出了任一种组成的馈电枝节,都能够实现图8所示的电流分布,激励辐射枝节进行电流环辐射特征的辐射。需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,电流环辐射特征可以指在辐射体周围产生具有均匀磁场特征的辐射。
请参考图11,示出了本申请实施例提供的另一些馈电枝节的具体实现示例。
示例性的,如图11中的(a)所示,为本申请实施例提供的又一种馈电枝节的可能的实现。该实现可以是基于如图10中的(c)演变而来的。如图11中的(a)所示,本 示例中的馈电枝节也可以包括一个辐射体,如第三馈电部L3。该L3的一端可以与馈电点耦接,该L3的另一端可以通过调谐器件与参考地耦接。也即,馈电点可以设置在辐射体L3的末端。而馈电点的另一端可以不与辐射体耦接,而是直接与射频微带线连接。其中,调谐器件可以包括以下器件中至少一种:电容,电感,电阻。在本示例中,馈电点和调谐器件可以分别位于L3的两个端点处。在另一些实现中,调谐器件还可以位于L3上的其他不同于馈电点的位置。需要说明的是,在本示例中,L3可以与参考地的边缘围成一个矩形或近似矩形。作为一种可能的实现,如图11中的(a)所示,L3的两端之间的距离可以等于矩形的长边,也就是说,该L3的两端之间的距离可以等于L3在辐射枝节上的投影长度。
如图11中的(b)所示,为本申请实施例提供的又一种馈电枝节的可能的实现。该示例类似于如图11中的(a)示出的组成,馈电枝节也可以包括一个辐射体,如第三馈电部L3。该L3的一端可以与馈电点耦接,该L3的另一端可以通过调谐器件与参考地耦接。与图11中的(a)所示的方案的区别在于,本示例中,L3的两端之间的距离可以小于L3在辐射枝节上的投影长度。即馈电端和接地端之间的距离更近,更加接近loop天线的形式。
如图11中的(c)所示,为本申请实施例提供的又一种馈电枝节的可能的实现。该示例类似于如图11中的(b)示出的组成,馈电枝节也可以包括一个辐射体,如第三馈电部L3。该L3的一端可以与馈电点耦接,该L3的另一端可以通过调谐器件与参考地耦接。L3的两端之间的距离可以小于L3在辐射枝节上的投影长度。其区别在于,在本示例中,在L3上还可以串联有一个电容,如第五电容C5。在不同实现中,该C5可以位于L3上的不同位置。比如,如图11中的(c)所示,C5可以设置在L3的横向中心位置。
如图11中的(d)所示,为本申请实施例提供的又一种馈电枝节的可能的实现。该示例类似于如图11中的(c)示出的组成,馈电枝节也可以包括一个辐射体,如第三馈电部L3。该L3的一端可以与馈电点耦接,该L3的另一端可以通过调谐器件与参考地耦接。L3的两端之间的距离可以小于L3在辐射枝节上的投影长度。其区别在于,在本示例中,在L3上还可以串联更多电容。比如,在L3上可以串联C5之外,还可以在C5两侧分别串联第六电容C6以及第七电容C7。
具有上述图10以及图11所示出的各种组成的馈电枝节,可以匹配到如图8或图9的电流环天线的耦合馈电中,从而激励辐射枝节进行辐射,产生均匀磁场,即获得具有电流环天线的辐射特征的天线。
需要说明的是,具有本申请实施例提供的组成的馈电枝节在设置过程中,可以通过调整馈电枝节的辐射体的尺寸,实现对电流环天线的容性/感性的调谐。比如,通过史密斯(Smith)圆图标识电流环天线的容性/感性为例。加长馈电枝节的辐射体的尺寸,能够增加电流环天线的感性,在Smith圆图上可以表现为圆图曲线所围成的圆变大并向短路点靠近。对应的,减少馈电枝节的辐射体的尺寸,能够增加电流环天线的容性,在Smith圆图上可以表现为圆图曲线所围成的圆变小并向开路点靠近。由此可以实现在不同场景下的电流环天线的端口匹配。
此外,在本申请实施例中提供的耦合馈电方案中,馈电枝节的位置也可以是灵活设 置的。比如,结合图8中的示例。该示例中,是以馈电枝节位于辐射枝节与参考地之间的中间位置设置为例的。在本申请的另一些实现中,馈电枝节还可以在如图8的基础上,沿x轴左右移动。由于该组成能够激励电流环天线的辐射,而电流环天线所产生的磁场分布是均匀的,因此,馈电枝节的左右移动并不会对电流环天线的辐射产生显著影响。例如,馈电枝节的左右移动并不会对电流环天线的谐振频率和/或辐射性能(如辐射效率或系统效率)产生显著影响。也就是说,在本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电方案进行实施的过程中,可以根据实际场景,灵活选取馈电枝节的位置。可以看到,由于馈电枝节的位置并不做严格的限定,因此更加利于该方案的实施。
通过上述说明,本领域技术人员应当理解的是,通过对馈电枝节的设置,使得在进行耦合馈电时,馈电枝节上能够激励其具有如图8所示电流特征,就能够实现对辐射枝节上电流环天线的激励。图10以及图11中则示出了具有如图8所示的电流特征的几种不同的实现,在具体应用中可以灵活选取。当然,图10以及图11中的示例仅为举例,并非穷举,其他一些馈电枝节的组成,如果能够产生如图8所示的电流特征,就可以实现对辐射枝节的电流环天线的激励。那么该组成也应包括在本申请实施例的保护范围之内。
在实际实施过程中,本申请实施例提供的电流环天线,能够应用在包括手机在内的电子设备中。比如,以应用于手机为例。参考图12A,本申请实施例提供的电流环天线,能够设置在手机边缘处,从而达到复用手机的金属边框,或者基于手机边缘处提供的较好的辐射环境提供良好的辐射性能。比如,在一些实施例中,如图12A所示,电流环天线可以设置在手机的顶部。在本申请的另一些实施例中,电流环天线还可以设置在手机的其他侧边,如左侧,右侧或底部,实现其辐射功能。
以下将结合实际的电流环天线,以及上述示例中的耦合馈电方案,对不同电流环天线的实际应用场景下天线的配置及其辐射特征进行举例说明。由此更加清楚地对本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电方案进行说明。
示例性的,电流环天线可以包括多种不同的具体实现。比如,如图12B所示,电流环天线可以包括电流环单极子天线(如电流环ILA天线),电流环偶极子天线,电流环缝隙(Slot)天线,以及电流环复合左手天线(The composite left hand antenna,CRLH)等;其中左手天线的结构可以参考CN201380008276.8和CN201410109571.9,在此不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,以电流环天线为电流环单极子天线,馈电形式采用如图10中的(a)所示的耦合馈电结构为例,对本申请实施例提供的耦合馈电的电流环天线进行说明。
如图13A所示,该电流环单极子天线可以包括辐射枝节1以及馈电枝节1。辐射枝节1可以包括一个辐射体。在本示例中,为了能够激励获取均匀的磁场,该辐射体的两端可以分别通过电容(如C1和C2)接地。C1和C2的大小可以相同,也可以不同。
在本申请实施例中,该辐射枝节1的尺寸可以是与工作频段相关的。比如,该辐射枝节1的长度可以小于等于工作频段对应波长的1/4。其中,工作频段对应波长可以为工作频段的中心频点的波长。
如图13A所示,该电流环单极子天线可以通过馈电枝节1进行耦合馈电。结合前述 图10中的(a)的说明,该馈电枝节1可以包括两个辐射体L1和L2。该L1和L2分别有一端接地,如与参考地耦接。该L1和L2的另一端可以通过馈电点连接。比如,L1的一端可以与馈电点的正极连接,对应的L2的一端可以与馈电点的负极连接。由此,使得馈电枝节1上可以通过馈电点与射频模块进行信号传输。比如,在发射场景下,射频模块可以将信号通过馈电点馈入馈电枝节1,以便于馈电枝节1通过磁耦合实现对辐射枝节1的耦合馈电。作为一种实现方式,结合图12A以及图6,参考图13B。该具有如图13A组成所示的电流环单极子天线可以设置在电子设备的顶部,用于覆盖电子设备的一个或多个工作频段。
图14示出了具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线在工作过程中的一种电流仿真示意图。其中图14中的(a)为实际仿真结果,为了进行更好的说明,图14中的(b)给出了电流在电流环单极子天线上的简化流向示意。可以看到,在该时刻,馈电枝节1(如L1和L2)上可以在馈电点的激励下,形成沿x轴负方向(即向左)的电流。在该馈电枝节1的耦合馈电激励下,在辐射枝节1上可以形成向右的电流。对应的,在参考地上可以形成向左的电流。在该场景下,辐射枝节1上的电流可以与参考地上的电流形成闭合的电流环回路,从而获取电流环天线的辐射特征。
图15示出了具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线在工作过程中的一种磁场仿真示意图。类似于图14,图15中的(a)为实际仿真结果,为了进行更好的说明,图15中的(b)给出了磁场在电流环单极子天线附近的简化分布示意。结合图14的说明,在具有如图14中的(a)或图14中的(b)所示的电流分布情况下,在辐射枝节1附近获取了均匀的磁场分布,由此进一步证明,具有如图13A所示的结构的天线,能够实现通过馈电枝节1的耦合馈电使得辐射枝节1进行符合电流环天线的辐射特征的辐射。
以下结合对S参数的仿真结果,说明该电流环单极子天线的辐射性能。结合图16,给出了该电流环单极子天线的S11(如图16中的(a))以及Smith圆图(如图16中的(b))。可以看到,在不需要任何匹配器件(或者使用很少匹配器件)的情况下,具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线,能够在2GHz附近产生一个谐振。该谐振的-5dB带宽接近150MHz,因此能够实现对至少一个工作频段的覆盖。基于该天线的Smith圆图,可以看到,通过如图13A所述的结构设计,使得天线自然具有良好的50欧姆的端口匹配特性,因此可以降低匹配电路(或者器件)对天线空间的要求以及设计的成本和生产的成本。
图17为具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线的效率仿真示意。该天线系统(如具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线系统)的辐射效率在1.6GHz-2.3GHz之间均高于-2dB,因此,在该频段内(如1.6GHz-2.3GHz),可以通过调整谐振的位置,都能获取较好的辐射性能。图17中同时示出了在谐振位置如图16中的(a)的情况下(如谐振最深点位于2GHz左右)的系统效率。可以看到,该谐振的最高效率已经超过-1dB,其-5dB带宽大于200MHz。因此该天线能够较好地覆盖工作频段。
在本申请实施例中,工作频段可以包括电子设备在进行无线通信过程中的常用频段,如主频(700MHz-960MHz,以及1710MHz-2690MHz)中的一个频带(band),又如用于局域网连接的无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Networks,WLAN)频段以及蓝牙(bluetooth)频段。由此,该具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线能够广泛地 应用在常规天线中,以帮助电子设备实现其无线通信功能。
为了使得本领域技术人员能够更好地将本申请实施例提供的基于耦合馈电的电流环单极子天线应用在实际产品中,以下给出不同长度的馈电枝节1对于该电流环单极子天线工作的影响。
结合前述说明,馈电枝节的长度可以用于调整电流环天线的感性/容性分量,从而使得天线具备端口匹配效果。
请参考图18,为在具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线中,相同长度的辐射枝节,不同长度的馈电枝节1对应的S参数对比示意。其中,以馈电枝节1的长度分别为2.5mm,5mm以及7.5mm为例。可以看到,馈电枝节1越长端口匹配度越高,S11越深,带宽也可以得到相应展宽。结合图19所示的Smith圆图的对比。随时则馈电枝节1的长度的增加,天线感性增强,同时信号可以更好地通过耦合馈入辐射枝节1进行辐射。Smith圆图越来越接近50欧姆的匹配状态。与之对应的,图20示出的辐射效率对比可以看到,在通过馈电枝节1的长度进行端口匹配的调整过程中,2GHz附近辐射效率没有明显变化,因此证明调整馈电枝节1的长度进行端口匹配不会造成辐射性能的大幅损失。
需要说明的是,上述图18和图19以及图20所示方案中,仅为当前环境下不同长度馈电枝节1的影响对比。在其他环境下,在要求天线具有较高容性的情况下,那么通过调整馈电枝节1的尺寸获取更好的容性匹配,即可获取较好的辐射效果。因此,可以根据不同环境的需求,灵活调整馈电枝节1的尺寸,从而获取较好的电流环单极子天线的辐射性能。
此外,本申请实施例还提供具有如图13A所示组成的电流环单极子天线,在其馈电枝节1的位置沿x轴左右移动的情况下,对谐振频率的影响对比示意。如图21所示,在馈电枝节1居中设置,以及馈电枝节1左移4.5mm或馈电枝节1右移4.5mm的情况下,其谐振基本重合。也就是说,在本申请实施例提供的电流环单极子天线在具体实现中,馈电枝节1在x轴向的位置可以是灵活设置的。结合前述说明,由于本申请实施例提供的天线方案为电流环天线,其工作过程中,附近磁场均匀分布,因此,馈电枝节1的位置可以根据实际实施场景灵活设置。由此能够显著降低该电流环单极子天线的设计难度。
需要说明的是,上述图13A-图21中提供的电流环单极子天线中,辐射枝节1的组成仅为一种示例。比如,该辐射枝节1可以由一个单极子辐射体组成。在本申请的另一些实现中,该辐射枝节1还可以具有其他形式。示例性的,在辐射枝节1上可以串联有一个或多个电容(如串联第三电容C3)。例如,图22示出了辐射枝节1上串联一个C3的电流环单极子天线示意。该电流环单极子天线依然可以通过上述示例中的馈电枝节1进行耦合馈电,获取电流环辐射特性。通过实验证明,在辐射枝节1上串联一个或多个电容(如C3)的情况下,能够进一步提高天线辐射效率。对应电容位置的设置,以及电容数量的设置,可以根据实际需要灵活选取,本申请实施例对此不作限制。

在不同实现中,C1和C2的大小以及C3的大小可以根据电流环偶极子天线的工作频段确定。
在一些实施例中,辐射枝节2的总长度(如L4以及L5的长度)可以是与工作频段的1/2波长相关的。比如,辐射枝节2的总长度可以小于工作频段的1/2波长并且大于工作频段的1/4波长。
需要说明的是,在本申请的不同实施例中,L4以及L5之间设置的C3的位置可以是灵活的。比如,C3可以设置在辐射枝节2的中心位置,即L4和L5可以具有相同尺寸。在另一些实施例中,C3还可以是设置在辐射枝节2的左边部分,即L4的长度可以小于L5的长度。或者,C3可以设置在辐射枝节2的右边部分,即L4的长度可以大于L5的长度。
