在所述第一实施方式中,所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22均用于提供谐振。具体地,当所述第一馈电点212给所述第一辐射枝节211馈电时,第一辐射枝节211能够激励射频电磁场,向空间辐射电磁波,形成相应的谐振。同样的,当所述第二馈电点222给所述第二辐射枝节221馈电时,第二辐射枝节221能够激励射频电磁场,向空间辐射电磁波,形成相应的谐振。
在所述第一实施方式中,所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22可为低频段天线(600MHz至960MHz),例如LTE B28(703MHz至803MHz)、LTE B5(824MHz至894MHz)、LTE B8(880MHz至960MHz)等。
如图7所示,由于所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间存在所述第一缝隙G1,当任意一个天线工作时,两个天线相对的端部形成一个“电容器”,在所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间会形成经过所述第一辐射枝节211、所述第一缝隙G1和所述第二辐射枝节221的第一耦合路径P1,使得所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间会通过所述第一耦合路径P1发生电场耦合。当所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22工作在同一频段时,会导致所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间的隔离度在所述电子设备100处于展开态或折叠态时均较低,从而影响两个同频天线的工作性能和辐射效率。
图8示出了第一实施方式的所述天线系统201包含的两个同频天线在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时的S参数曲线示意图。从图8中的曲线S21可看出,所述天线系统201的两个同频天线在工作频段0.8GHZ-0.95GHz的隔离度为-5dB左右,隔离度较差。
为了提高所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22这两个同频天线之间的隔离度,如图9所示,本申请还提供了第二实施方式的天线系统202。其中,所述第二实施方式提供的所述天线系统202的结构与图7所示的天线系统201的结构相似,不同之处在于:所述第二实施方式提供的所述天线系统202还包括串联于所述两个同频天线之间的去耦结构23,所述去耦结构23用于隔断所述两个同频天线之间经过所述第一缝隙G1的所述第一耦合路径P1,使所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22无法通过所述第一耦合路径P1进行耦合。
具体地,所述第一辐射枝节211还包括与所述第一缝隙G1相邻的第一耦合端217,所述第二辐射枝节221还包括与所述第一缝隙G1相邻的第二耦合端228。所述去耦结构23串联于所述第一辐射枝节211的第一耦合端217和所述第二辐射枝节221的第二耦合端228之间,如此,所述去耦结构23能够用于隔断所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间的所述第一耦合路径P1。
在所述第二实施方式中,所述去耦结构23为带阻滤波器,其中,所述带阻滤波器可包含电感元件,或电感与电容的组合。
在一种实施方式中,所述去耦结构23可设置于所述第一电路板组件511上。在其他实施方式中,所述去耦结构23可设于所述第一缝隙G1内。
以所述带阻滤波器包含电感元件为例,当所述电子设备100处于展开状态时,通过调整所述电感元件的电感值,可以隔断所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间的所述第一耦合路径P1,从而使所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间具有较高的隔离度。其中,所述电感元件的电感值范围在3nH-300nH之间。
图10(a)示出了在所述电子设备100处于展开状态且所述第一天线21激励时,图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线上的电流分布仿真图。图10(b)示出了在所述电子设备100处于展开状态且所述第一天线21激励时,图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线上的电场分布仿真图。从图10(a)-图10(b)中可看出,在所述天线系统202采用了所述去耦结构23之后,当所述电子设备100处于展开状态且所述第一天线21激励时,在所述第一天线21上激励的电流和电场基本上不会耦合到所述第二天线22上。
同样的,图10(c)示出了在所述电子设备100处于展开状态且所述第二天线22激励时,图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线上的电流分布仿真图。图10(d)示出了在所述电子设备100处于展开状态且所述第二天线22激励时,图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线上的电场分布仿真图。从图10(c)-图10(d)中可看出,在所述天线系统202采用了所述去耦结构23之后,当所述电子设备100处于展开状态且所述第二天线22激励时,在所述第二天线22上激励的电流和电场基本上不会耦合到所述第一天线21上。
图11为图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线在所述电子设备100处于展开状态时的S参数曲线示意图。从图11中的曲线S21可看出,当所述电子设备100处于展开状态时,所述天线系统202的两个同频天线在工作频段0.8GHZ-1GHz的隔离度为-20dB左右,隔离度较高。
图12(a)示出了在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态且所述第二天线22激励时,图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线上的电流分布仿真图。从图12(a)中可看出,当所述电子设备100处于折叠状态且所述第二天线22激励时,尽管所述天线系统202包含了所述去耦结构23,在所述第二天线22上激励的电流仍然会耦合到所述第一天线21上。同样的,在所述第一天线21激励时,在所述第一天线21上激励的电流也会耦合到所述第二天线22上。
图12(b)示出了在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态且所述第二天线22激励时,图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线上的电场分布仿真图。从图12(b)中可看出,当所述电子设备100处于折叠状态且所述第二天线22激励时,尽管所述天线系统202包含了所述去耦结构23,在所述第二天线22上激励的电场仍然会耦合到所述第一天线21上。同样的,在所述第一天线21激励时,在所述第一天线21上激励的电场也会耦合到所述第二天线22上。
图13为图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时的S参数曲线示意图。从图13中的曲线S21可看出,当所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,所述天线系统202的两个同频天线在工作频率为0.96GHz附近时的隔离度为-12dB左右,隔离度依然较差。
可见,在所述第一辐射枝节211和所述第二辐射枝节221之间串联所述去耦结构23,即包含电感元件的带阻滤波器,只能隔断展开状态下的所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间的电流和电场耦合,但并不能隔断折叠状态下的所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间的电流和电场耦合。当所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,所述第一天线21与所述第二天线 22之间依然会发生电流和电场耦合,导致两者之间的隔离度依然较低,影响两个同频天线的工作性能和辐射效率。
基于图12(a)-图12(b)所示的仿真结果,下面对图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线的耦合原理进行分析。
请一并参阅图14(a)和图14(b),以激励所述第二天线22为例,在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态下,当所述第二馈电点222给所述第二辐射枝节221馈电时,在所述第二辐射枝节221上会激励出电流,在所述第二辐射枝节221的周围会激励出电场。
由于所述第二主体12上的金属体,即所述第二参考地121靠近所述第一主体11上的第二辐射枝节221,因此,所述第二辐射枝节221上的激励电流在所述第二辐射枝节221附近第二参考地121上会感应出电动势。如此,如图14(a)和图14(b)所示,在所述第二辐射枝节221与所述第二参考地121之间的中间缝隙G0内会形成第一电场E1。这里也可以理解为,在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,由于所述第二参考地121靠近所述第二辐射枝节221,且在两者之间形成所述中间缝隙G0,因此,所述第二辐射枝节221与所述第二参考地121形成“电容器”,在两者之间能够形成所述第一电场E1。
与此同时,由于所述第一主体11上的金属体,即所述第一参考地111靠近所述第二辐射枝节221,且在两者之间存在第一槽缝S1,因此,所述第二辐射枝节221上的激励电流在所述第二辐射枝节221附近的第一参考地111上也会感应出电动势。如此,如图14(b)和图14(c)所示,在所述第二辐射枝节221与所述第一参考地111之间的第一槽缝S1内会形成第二电场E2。
另外,如图14(a)所示,所述第一电场E1还通过所述中间缝隙G0以及所述第二参考地121耦合到所述第一天线21的第一辐射枝节211上,因此,在所述第一辐射枝节211上会感应出电流。由于所述第一参考地111靠近所述第一辐射枝节211,且在两者之间存在所述第一槽缝S1,因此,所述第一辐射枝节211上的感应电流在所述第一辐射枝节211附近的第一参考地111上会感应出电动势。如此,如图14(c)所示,在所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第一参考地111之间的第一槽缝S1内会形成第三电场E3。
请一并参阅图14(a)-图14(c),在第一时刻t1,若所述第二辐射枝节221表面带负电荷,则带负电荷的所述第二辐射枝节221会在其附近的所述第二参考地121和所述第一参考地111上均感应出正电荷。此时,在所述中间缝隙G0内形成的所述第一电场E1的方向为从所述第二参考地121指向所述第二辐射枝节221(如图14(a)和图14(b)所示的方向),在所述第一槽缝S1内形成的所述第二电场E2的方向为从所述第一参考地111指向所述第二辐射枝节221(如图14(b)和图14(c)所示的方向)。同时,带正电荷的所述第二参考地121会在所述第一辐射枝节211上感应出负电荷,如此,在所述第一槽缝S1内形成的所述第三电场E3的方向为从所述第一参考地111指向所述第一辐射枝节211(如图14(c)所示的方向)。
可以理解的是,在第二时刻t2,若所述第二辐射枝节221表面带正电荷,则所述第一电场E1、第二电场E2、第三电场E3的方向均会反向,即,在所述中间缝隙G0内形成的所述第一电场E1的方向为从所述第二辐射枝节221指向所述第二参考地121、在所述第一槽缝S1内形成的所述第二电场E2的方向为从所述第二辐射枝节221指向所述第一参考地111、在所述第一槽缝S1内的所述第三电场E3的方向为从所述第一辐射枝节211指向所述第一参考地111。
本领域的技术人员可以理解的是,激励所述第一天线21所形成的电场的原理与激励所述第二天线22所形成的电场的原理相同,具体技术细节请参阅上文对激励所述第二天线22的相关具体介绍,在此不进行重复赘述。
根据以上分析以及图14(a)-图14(c)所示的原理图可知,当所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,尽管所述天线系统202包含了所述去耦结构23,但激励其中一个天线所产生的电场会通过所述第二主体12上的第二参考地121耦合到另一个天线上,因此,所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间会通过所述第二参考地121发生电场耦合。也就是说,所述第二主体12上的第二参考地121为所述第一主体11和所述第二主体12提供了一条第二耦合路径P2(如图14(a)所示),所述第二耦合路径P2经过所述第一辐射枝节211、所述中间缝隙G0、所述第二参考地121、以及所述第二辐射枝节221。如此,所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间能够通过所述第二耦合路径P2发生电场耦合,从而导致所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时具有较低的隔离度,影响两个同频天线的工作性能和辐射效率。
图14(d)示出了在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态且第二天线22激励时,图9所示的天线系统202包含的两个同频天线与第一主体11上的第一参考地111之间的第一槽缝S1内形成的电场分布仿真图。从图14(d)中可看出,所述第二天线22产生的电场的很大一部分能量被耦合到所述第一天线21上。另外,如图14(c)和图14(d)所示,在同一时刻,所述第二电场E2与所述第三电场E3的方向相同,即,在第一槽缝S1中,所述第二天线22激励的第二电场E2与所述第一天线21感应的第三电场E3为同向电场。
为了解决可折叠的所述电子设备100在折叠状态下所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22这两个同频天线之间的隔离度较低的问题,本申请还提供了第三实施方式的天线系统203。
图15示出了所述天线系统203在折叠态的电子设备100上的设置位置示意图。图16-图17示出了第三实施方式的天线系统203在所述电子设备100的外壳40上的设置位置示意图。如图16-图17所示,所述第三实施方式的天线系统203的结构与第二实施方式的天线系统202的结构相似,不同之处在于:所述第三实施方式的天线系统203还包括设置于所述电子设备100的另一个主体上的寄生结构24,且所述寄生结构24在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,分别与所述两个同频天线至少部分重叠。
在所述第三实施方式中,所述寄生结构24为在被激励时能够在所述寄生枝节241的中部两侧与所述第二参考地之间形成反向电场的天线结构。
具体地,所述寄生结构24为1/2波长的天线结构,工作在半波长模式,其中,所述波长为所述两个同频天线的工作波长。在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态且所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线工作/激励时,所述寄生结构24用于与工作的天线耦合而形成半波长模式的谐振,其中,在所述寄生结构24的中部两侧与所述寄生结构24附近的第二参考地121之间形成的感应电场的方向相反,所述感应电场用于抵消从所述工作的天线耦合到所述两个同频天线中的另一个天线上的电场,以抑制所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线上的辐射能量通过所述第二主体上的第二参考地121耦合到所述另一个天线上,从而提高所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22之间的隔离度。
具体地,在所述第三实施方式中,如图15所示,所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22设置于所述电子设备100的其中一个主体,例如第一主体11的第一边缘区域A中,所述寄生结构24设置于所述电子设备100的另一个主体,例如第二主体12的第二边缘区域B中,其 中,所述第一边缘区域A和第二边缘区域B可为所述中框41上的部位或为所述后盖42靠近所述中框41的部位。所述第一边缘区域A和所述第二边缘区域B在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时重叠设置。
在一种实施方式中,所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22可设置于所述第一中框411上,相应地,所述寄生结构24可设置于所述第二中框412上。在另一种实施方式中,所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22可设置于所述第一后盖421靠近所述第一中框411的部位,相应地,所述寄生结构24可设置于所述第二后盖422靠近所述第二中框412的部位。如图16-图17所示,本申请中以所述两个同频天线均设置于所述第一主体11的第一中框411上、所述寄生结构24设置于所述第二主体12的第二中框412上为例,对所述天线系统203的结构进行介绍。
所述寄生结构24包括寄生枝节241,其中,在所述电子设备100处于完全折叠的状态时,所述寄生枝节241与所述第一辐射枝节211和所述第二辐射枝节221至少部分重叠。
在所述第三实施方式中,所述第一中框411和第二中框412可部分或全部由金属材料制成,所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第二辐射枝节221均构成所述第一中框411的一部分结构,相应地,所述寄生枝节241构成所述第二中框412的一部分结构,所述寄生枝节241在所述电子设备100处于完全折叠的状态与所述第一辐射枝节211和所述第二辐射枝节221至少部分重叠。
可选地,在其他实施方式中,所述第一中框411和第二中框412可部分或全部由非导电材料(例如玻璃或塑料等)制成,所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第二辐射枝节221均贴设于所述第一中框411的内侧,相应地,所述寄生枝节241贴设于所述第二中框412的内侧。
可选地,在其他实施方式中,所述第一后盖421和第二后盖422可由金属材料制成,所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第二辐射枝节221均构成所述第一后盖421的一部分结构,相应地,所述寄生枝节241构成所述第二后盖422的一部分结构。例如,所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第二辐射枝节221可为在所述第一后盖421上开缝而获得的被隔断的金属附件,所述寄生枝节241可为在所述第二后盖422上开缝而获得的被隔断的金属附件。
可选地,在其他实施方式中,所述第一后盖421和第二后盖422可由非导电材料(例如玻璃或塑料等)制成,所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第二辐射枝节221均贴设于所述第一后盖421的内侧,相应地,所述寄生枝节241贴设于所述第二后盖422的内侧。
在所述第三实施方式中,如图17所示,在所述电子设备100处于完全折叠的状态时,所述寄生枝节241的中部与所述第一缝隙G1相对,并且所述第一缝隙G1的中心在所述寄生枝节241上的投影到所述寄生枝节241的中部的距离小于或等于所述寄生结构24的谐振频率对应的波长的八分之一,即所述两个同频天线的工作波长的八分之一。
当所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22中的任意一个天线工作时,所述寄生结构24的寄生枝节241用于与工作的天线的辐射枝节耦合形成半波长模式(也可称为二分之一波长模式,或1/2λ模式)的谐振,如此,在所述寄生枝节241的中部两侧能够产生方向相反的两个电场。也就是说,所述天线系统203利用半波长模式的谐振在所述寄生枝节241两端产生的电场方向相反的原理,来抵消所述两个同频天线中从其中一个天线耦合到另一个天线上的感应电场。
在所述第三实施方式的一种实现形式中,如图16-图19所示,所述寄生结构24为线天线,所述线天线工作在半波长模式。
具体地,如图16所示,所述第二中框412上开设有第三缝隙G3和第四缝隙G4,所述 第三缝隙G3与所述第四缝隙G4将所述第二中框412分割成依次相邻的第四子段T4、第五子段T5、和第六子段T6。其中,所述第五子段T5为所述线天线24的寄生枝节241。
请一并参阅图16和图18,所述寄生枝节241与所述第二主体12上的第二参考地121通过第二槽缝S2间隔开,其中,在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,所述第一槽缝S1与第二槽缝S2相对。
请参阅图19,所述寄生枝节241为条形导体,包括位于所述寄生枝节241的中部两侧的第一辐射体L1和第二辐射体L2,所述第一辐射体L1和所述第二辐射体L2为一体结构。在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,所述第一辐射体L1与所述第一辐射枝节211重叠设置,所述第二辐射体L2与所述第二辐射枝节221重叠设置。
请一并参阅图18和图19,所述线天线24还包括分别与所述寄生枝节241两端耦接的第四匹配电路242和第五匹配电路243,其中,所述第四匹配电路242和所述第五匹配电路243用于调整所述寄生结构24的谐振频率,使所述寄生结构24与所述两个同频天线相耦合而产生的感应电场与所述两个同频天线产生的同向感应电场具有更理想的抵消效果,从而达到抑制所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线上的辐射能量耦合到所述另一个天线上的目的。
所述第四匹配电路242和所述第五匹配电路243均可设置于所述第二电路板组件521上,且可包含电容、电感或开关元件等中的一个或多个,其具体的电路架构可根据实际需求设定,本申请对此不进行具体限定。
在所述第三实施方式中,所述寄生枝节241的长度为所述寄生结构24的谐振频率对应的波长的二分之一,即所述两个同频天线的工作波长的二分之一。在实际应用中,可通过调节所述第三缝隙G3和所述第四缝隙G4的位置来调节所述寄生枝节241的长度。反过来,也可以通过调节所述寄生枝节241的长度来调节所述半波长模式的谐振的频率范围。
其中,当所述线天线24作为有源天线来使用时,其工作模式与中国专利申请CN112751159A中所介绍的线天线的差模(differential mode,DM)线天线模式相同或相似,具体工作原理可参阅中国专利申请CN112751159A中对线天线的DM线天线模式的具体介绍,在此不进行赘述。在本申请中,所述线天线24作为无源的寄生结构来使用,其与所述两个同频天线中被激励的天线进行磁场耦合馈电,工作原理与所述线天线24作为有源天线来使用时的工作原理相似。请参阅图20,当所述线天线24与所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线耦合馈电形成半波长模式的谐振时,在所述寄生枝节241的第一辐射体L1和第二辐射体L2上产生的感应电流的方向相同;所述寄生枝节241在其与第二参考地121之间的第二槽缝S2内产生的感应电场在所述寄生枝节241的中部两侧呈现反向分布,即在所述第一辐射体L1与所述第二参考地121之间的第二槽缝S2内产生的感应电场,与在所述第二辐射体L2与所述第二参考地121之间的第二槽缝S2内产生的感应电场方向相反。
下面对所述天线系统203的工作原理进行介绍。
以激励所述第二天线22为例,在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态下,当所述第二天线22的第二馈电点222给所述第二辐射枝节221馈电时,根据上文的介绍可知,在所述第二辐射枝节221上会激励出电流,在所述第二辐射枝节221的周围会激励出电场。如图21(a)-图21(c)所示,在第一时刻t1,若所述第二辐射枝节221表面带负电荷,则带负电荷的所述第二辐射枝节221会在其附近的所述第一参考地111上感应出正电荷。此时,所述第二辐射枝节221在所述第一槽缝S1内激励出的第二电场E2的方向为从所述第一参考地111指向所述第二辐射枝节221(如图21(b)和图21(c)所示的方向)。
由于所述寄生枝节241的第二辐射体L2靠近所述第二辐射枝节221,在所述第二辐射枝节221周围激励出的磁场的磁感线同时环绕所述第二辐射枝节221和所述第二辐射体L2。由于所述第二辐射枝节221和所述第二辐射体L2共用相同的磁场,根据楞次定律,在所述第二辐射体L2上产生的感应电流的方向与在所述第二辐射枝节221上产生的激励电流的方向相同。也就是说,所述第二辐射枝节221与所述第二辐射体L2通过磁场耦合,在所述第二辐射体L2上感应出同方向的电流。
由于所述第二参考地121靠近所述第二辐射体L2,且在两者之间存在所述第二槽缝S2,因此,所述第二辐射体L2上的感应电流在所述第二辐射体L2附近的第二参考地121上会感应出电动势。如此,在所述第二辐射体L2与所述第二参考地121之间的第二槽缝S2内会形成第四电场E4。
其中,在同一时刻,例如上述的第一时刻t1,若所述第二辐射枝节221的表面带负电荷,相应地,所述第二辐射体L2的表面也带负电荷,带负电荷的所述第二辐射体L2会在其附近的所述第二参考地121上感应出正电荷。此时,在所述第二槽缝S2内形成的所述第四电场E4的方向为从所述第二参考地121指向所述第二辐射体L2(如图21(b)和图21(d)所示的方向)。
由于所述线天线24被所述第二天线22通过磁场耦合激励,根据图20所示的线天线24被激励时所产生的电流和电场分布原理,在所述第一辐射体L1和所述第二辐射体L3上产生的感应电流方向相同,在所述第一辐射体L1和所述第二参考地121之间形成的感应电场的方向,与在所述第二辐射体L2和所述第二参考地121之间形成的感应电场的方向相反,因此,在上述第一时刻t1时,如图21(d)和图21(e)所示,所述第一辐射体L1在其与所述第二参考地121之间的第二槽缝S2内感应出的第五电场E5的方向为从所述第一辐射体L1指向所述第二参考地121。
另外,如图21(a)和图21(b)所示,在同一时刻,例如上述的第一时刻t1,由于所述第二辐射枝节221表面带负电荷,所述第二辐射枝节221在所述中间缝隙G0内激励出的第一电场E1的方向为从所述寄生枝节241的第二辐射体L2指向所述第二辐射枝节221;由于所述第二辐射体L2表面带负电荷,所述第二辐射体L2在所述中间缝隙G0内感应出的第六电场E6的方向为从所述第二辐射枝节221指向所述第二辐射体L2。
如此,在所述中间缝隙G0内,由所述第二辐射枝节221激励产生的所述第一电场E1与由所述第二辐射体L2感应产生的第六电场E6的方向相反,所述第一电场E1部分或全部被所述第六电场E6抵消,所述第二辐射枝节221通过所述中间缝隙G0以及所述寄生枝节241耦合到所述第一天线21的第一辐射枝节211上的电场被削减或被消除。
如图21(e)所示,所述第一辐射体L1在所述中间缝隙G0内感应出的电场与所述第一电场E1的方向相同,且所述第一辐射体L1靠近所述第一辐射枝节211,因此,所述第一电场E1未被抵消的剩余部分以及由所述第一辐射体L1在所述中间缝隙G0内感应出的电场共同耦合到所述第一辐射枝节211上,其中,耦合到所述第一辐射枝节211上的第七电场E7如图21(a)所示。如此,在所述第一辐射枝节211上会感应出电流,在所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第一参考地111之间的第一槽缝S1内会形成第三电场E3。
根据上述分析可知,在所述第一时刻t1,如图21(c)和图21(e)所示,所述第一辐射枝节211在其与所述第一参考地111之间的第一槽缝S1内感应出的第三电场E3的方向为从所述第一参考地111指向所述第一辐射枝节211。
根据上述分析还可知,在同一时刻,例如所述第一时刻t1,如图21(c)-图21(e)所示,所述第二辐射体L2在所述第二槽缝S2内感应出的第四电场E4的方向,与所述第二辐射枝节221在所述第一槽缝S1内感应出的第二电场E2的方向以及所述第一辐射枝节211在所述第一槽缝S1内感应出的第三电场E3的方向均相同;所述第一辐射体L1在所述第二槽缝S2内感应出的第五电场E5的方向与所述第二辐射枝节221在所述第一槽缝S1内感应出的第二电场E2的方向以及所述第一辐射枝节211在所述第一槽缝S1内感应出的第三电场E3的方向均相反。在折叠状态下,由于所述第一辐射枝节211与所述第一辐射体L1重叠,所述第一槽缝S1与所述第二槽缝S2相对,因此,所述第三电场E3部分或全部会被所述第五电场E5抵消,从而能够削减或消除从所述第二辐射枝节221耦合到所述第一辐射枝节211上的能量。
本领域的技术人员可以理解的是,所述第一天线21激励时的电场抵消原理与所述第二天线22激励时的电场抵消原理相同,具体技术细节请参阅上文对激励所述第二天线22的相关介绍,在此不进行重复赘述。
综上所述可知,本申请第三实施方式提供的所述天线系统203能够达到抑制所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线上的辐射能量通过所述第二主体上的第二参考地121耦合到所述另一个天线上的目的,从而能够有效地提高所述第一天线21与所述第二天线22之间在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时的隔离度。
图22(a)示出了在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态且所述第二天线22激励时,图19所示的天线系统203包含的两个同频天线与第一主体11上的第一参考地111之间的第一槽缝S1内形成的电场分布仿真图。对比图14(d)和图22(a)可知,所述第二天线22上产生的电场被所述寄生结构24产生的感应电场抵消掉较大部分的能量之后,再耦合到所述第一天线21上的能量基本很少了。
图22(b)示出了所述天线系统203包含的两个同频天线在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时的S参数曲线示意图。从图22(b)中可看出,所述天线系统203的两个同频天线在工作频段0.8GHZ-0.9GHz的隔离度为-20dB以下,隔离度较高。
在所述第三实施方式的另一种实现形式中,如图23-图24所示,寄生结构24’为槽天线,所述槽天线工作在半波长模式。
具体地,所述槽天线的寄生枝节241’包括位于所述寄生枝节241’的中部两侧的第一辐射体L1’和第二辐射体L2’,所述第一辐射体L1’与所述第二辐射体L2’通过第五缝隙G5间隔开,所述第一辐射体L1’远离所述第五缝隙G5或所述第二辐射体L2’的一端接地,所述第二辐射体L2’远离所述第五缝隙G5或所述第一辐射体L1’的一端接地。
所述第一辐射体L1'和所述第二辐射体L2'的长度可以为所述寄生结构24的谐振频率对应的波长的四分之一,即所述两个同频天线的工作波长的四分之一。在实际应用中,可通过调节所述第一辐射体L1’的接地点和所述第五缝隙G5的位置来调节所述第一辐射体L1'的长度;可通过调节所述第五缝隙G5和所述第二辐射体L2'的接地点的位置来调节所述第二辐射体L2'的长度。反过来,也可以通过调节所述第一辐射体L1'和所述第二辐射体L2'的长度来调节所述半波长模式的谐振的频率范围。
其中,当所述槽天线24’作为有源天线来使用时,其工作模式与中国专利申请CN112751159A中所介绍的槽天线的共模(common mode,CM)槽天线模式相同,具体工作原理可参阅中国专利申请CN112751159A中对槽天线的CM槽天线模式的具体介绍,在此不 进行赘述。在本申请中,所述槽天线24’作为无源的寄生结构来使用,其与所述两个同频天线中被激励的天线进行磁场耦合馈电,工作原理与所述槽天线24’作为有源天线来使用时的工作原理相似。请参阅图25,当所述槽天线24’与所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线耦合馈电形成半波长模式的谐振时,在所述第一辐射体L1'和所述第二辐射体L2'上产生的感应电流的方向相同;在所述第一辐射体L1'与所述第二参考地121之间的第二槽缝S2内产生的感应电场,与在所述第二辐射体L2'与所述第二参考地121之间的第二槽缝S2内产生的感应电场方向相反。
在本申请中,所述天线系统203采用所述槽天线24’作为所述寄生结构的工作原理,与所采用所述线天线24作为所述寄生结构的工作原理相同,两者对所述两个同频天线中产生的感应电场均能达到相似的抵消效果,具体技术细节请参阅上文的介绍,再此不进行重复赘述。
在本申请中,所述第一槽缝S1、第二槽缝S2、第一缝隙G1、第二缝隙G2、第三缝隙G3、第四缝隙G4、第五缝隙G5中的任意一个或多个可采用非导体介质填充,例如,可采用聚碳酸酯(Polycarbonate,PC)填充。在实际应用中,所述第一槽缝114、第二槽缝S2、第一缝隙G1、第二缝隙G2、第三缝隙G3、第四缝隙G4、和第五缝隙G5的宽度可以根据实际情况设定,本申请的实施方式对此不做限制。
综上所述,本申请提供的所述天线系统203通过将两个同频天线设置在可折叠的电子设备100的同一侧,并在两个同频天线之间串联去耦结构23,从而利用所述去耦结构23来隔断所述两个同频天线之间经过所述第一缝隙的耦合路径,可以有效地解决所述两个同频天线在所述电子设备100处于展开状态时具有较差隔离度的问题。所述天线系统203还通过在所述电子设备100的另一侧增加1/2波长的天线结构,即寄生结构24,在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时,通过所述寄生结构24与所述两个同频天线耦合形成半波长模式的谐振,其中,在所述寄生结构24的寄生枝节241的中部两侧与所述寄生结构24附近的第二参考地121之间形成的感应电场的方向相反,通过所述感应电场可以抵消从所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线耦合到另一个天线上的电场,从而抑制所述两个同频天线中的任意一个天线上的辐射能量通过所述第二主体上的第二参考地121耦合到所述另一个天线上,进而提高所述第一天线21和所述第二天线22之间的隔离度,可以有效地解决所述两个同频天线在所述电子设备100处于折叠状态时具有较差隔离度的问题。如此,所述天线系统203的两个同频天线在所述电子设备100处于展开态或折叠态时均具有较高的隔离度以及较理想的天线性能,从而使包含所述天线系统203的电子设备100具有较佳的无线通信功能。
应说明的是,在本申请中,天线的某种波长模式(如二分之一波长模式、四分之一波长模式等)中的波长可以是指该天线辐射的信号的波长。例如,天线的二分之一波长模式可产生2.4GHz频段的谐振,其中,二分之一波长模式中的波长是指天线辐射2.4GHz频段的信号的波长。应理解的是,辐射信号在空气中的波长可以如下计算:波长=光速/频率,其中,频率为辐射信号的频率。辐射信号在介质中的波长可以如下计算:波长=(光速/√ε)/频率,其中,ε为该介质的相对介电常数,频率为辐射信号的频率。
以上,仅为本申请的部分实施方式,本申请的保护范围不局限于此,任何熟知本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。
