- the second antenna A2 branch shown in FIG9a induces a high-order harmonic, namely, a parasitic branch current 9 (I9), in the N78 frequency band of the first antenna A1, which is opposite to the current 10 (I10) generated in the N78 frequency band of the first antenna A1 in the folded state. Therefore, the complex LC matching of the second matching circuit M2 can be used to tune the clutter of the parasitic current out of the band.

Due to the principle of inductive current, the closer the passive branch is to the active branch, the stronger the inductive resonant current will be excited (similar to the feeding branch in the current conventional electronic device design that can excite the current of the corresponding passive parasitic branch).
- the branch of the fourth antenna A4 generates more than one self-resonant high-order harmonic near the HB frequency band of the first antenna A1, that is, the reverse parasitic branch current 8 (I8), and the parasitic current 8 on the right half is opposite to the current 2 (I2) in the B40 and B41 frequency bands in the unfolded state.

- the parasitic resonant current at 1.75GHz is opposite to the current 3 (I3) of the third antenna A3 in GPSL1, but in the frequency band of 1.55GHz to 1.65GHz, the phase of the parasitic resonant current of the second antenna A2 is just turned 180°, as shown by the current 7 (I7) in Figure 9b.
- the parasitic resonant current 7 (I7) of the second antenna A2 and the current 3 (I3) of the third antenna A3 in GPSL1 are in the same direction, thereby increasing the antenna radiation aperture efficiency, and improving the efficiency of the GPSL1 antenna after folding by about 1dB, as shown in the folded state efficiency of GPSL1 in Figure 12b.
- the isolation of the first antenna A1, the second antenna A2 and the third antenna A3 in the folded state is shown in Figure 11.

- IFA inverted-F antenna
- L3+L2+L1 is generally a half wavelength of its resonant frequency band; in the N78 frequency band, it is the monopole mode shown by curve 3 in FIG. 5a, which is also determined by the length of L3 shown in FIG. 1, and the length of L3 is generally a quarter wavelength of its resonant frequency band.
- the Smith chart of the first antenna A1 in the unfolded state is shown in FIG. 7a, and its efficiency is shown in FIG. 8a.
- the second antenna A2 operates in the GPS L5 frequency band, which is the IFA mode shown in Figure 5c, and is determined by the length of L5 shown in Figure 1.

- the embodiment of the present application refers to the basic principle of the folding dipole and adopts a new design method for GPSL5, namely the dipole IFA antenna, which can not only improve the efficiency of GPSL5 in the folded state, but also further improve the efficiency of GPSL5 in the unfolded state after the foldable electronic device 10 is unfolded.
- the dipole IFA antenna is actually two IFA antennas, which are placed side by side on both sides of the hinge through a hinge.
- the first matching circuit M1 of the first antenna A1 switches through the first branch and the third branch through a switch.
- This state can be called switch state 1, and the parasitic resonance frequency of the first antenna A1 itself is moved to 1.12 GHz, forming the dipole IFA current shown in FIG. 13a within the GPSL5 band.
- the second antenna A2 generates a current 5 (I5)
- the first antenna A1 generates a current 4 (I4).
- the principle is the same as the current of the branch on the other side of the unfolded conventional dipole shown in FIG.
- the first matching circuit M1 of the first antenna A1 After the foldable electronic device 10 is folded, if the first matching circuit M1 of the first antenna A1 still adopts switch state 1, in principle, the current of the dipole IFA after folding is as shown in FIG. 13b, which is the same as the current of the conventional dipole after folding in FIG. 14b. At this time, the current is opposite, which will only reduce the efficiency of the GPSL5 antenna of the secondary screen. In the embodiment of the present application, another approach is taken.
- the switch of the first matching circuit M1 of the first antenna A1 switches the first branch and the second branch. This state can be called switch state 2.

- the parasitic antenna of the secondary screen near the hinge, i.e., the second antenna A2 is designed to be a relatively low frequency band, such as the GPSL5 band.
- the frequency ratio between the two is 1.9, as shown in FIG15, to reduce the frequency deviation problem of the two corresponding antenna branch bands after folding.
- the frequency band scheme layout of the present application is adopted on the folding screen, not only the MHB band of the first antenna A1 is only within 30MHz to 40MHz, as shown in FIG16a, but also the original frequency deviation of the GPSL5 of the second antenna A2 between unfolding and folding is controlled within 25MHz, as shown in FIG16b.
- the frequency deviation of the matched GPSL5 in the unfolded and folded states can be further reduced to less than 5M, as shown in Figure 16c.

一种实施方式中,所述第一匹配电路M1可以如图4所示,即包括三个并联支路,分别为电容电感串联支路、开关控制的电感支路和开关控制的电容支路,其中,所述第一支路也即电容电感串联支路和所述第二支路也即开关控制的电感支路组成一调谐支路,用于折叠态下对所述第一天线A1进行调谐,所述第一支路也即电容电感串联支路和所述第三支路也即开关控制的电容支路组成另一调谐支路,用于展开态下对所述第一天线A1进行调谐,这样,可以根据可折叠电子设备10的折叠屏11所处的不同状态,来控制支路开关的通断,从而切换不同的调谐支路来保证天线工作效率。
具体地,在所述折叠屏11处于展开状态时,可以控制所述第二支路的第一开关S1处于断开状态,所述第三支路的第二开关S2处于连通状态,使得该状态下对所述第二天线A2的工作频段(如GPSL5频段)来说相当于新增加一个寄生辅助谐振,如图7c所示,可将该谐振拉到比GPSL5还低的频点1.12GHz附近,如图8c所示,对展开态于GPSL5频段的效率可提升1dB~1.5dB。
在所述折叠屏11处于折叠状态时,可以控制所述第二支路的第一开关S1处于连通状态,所述第三支路的第二开关S2处于断开状态,来提升折叠态下所述第二天线A2在GPSL5频段的效率。从图9c所示,副屏幕112上所述第二天线A2的GPSL5在折叠态下的电流和图5c所示展开态的电流方向一致,但是此时所述第一匹配电路M1需要切换成第一开关为连通状态,第二开关为断开状态。所述第一天线A1在所述第二天线A2的工作频段如GPSL5频段等效于开路或者小电容下地,主屏幕111上所述第一天线A1的谐振频率将移到1.27GHz附近,如图10c所示的折叠态GPSL5的史密斯圆图。此时所述第一天线A1的谐振电流的相位在GPSL5频段内转向180°,其电流方向如图9c的电流6(I6)所示,从而在GPSL5频段内,所述第一天线A1的寄生谐振电流6(I6)和所述第二天线A2在GPSL5的电流5(I5)同向,进而增大天线辐射口径效率,对折叠态后所述第二天线A2工作在GPSL5频段的天线效率提升约1.5dB,如图12c所示的GPSL5的折叠态效率。
这样,该实施方式中,通过根据电子设备折叠状态,切换所述第一天线A1上的匹配电路的接入支路,既可提升所述天线结构在展开状态下的天线效率,以及优化天线间隔离度,还可提升所述天线结构在折叠状态下的天线效率。
需说明的是,一种实施方式中,为了仅保证折叠态下的天线效率,所述第一匹配电路M1可以仅包括第一支路和第二支路,在可折叠电子设备10处于展开态下,所述第一天线A1的寄生电流和所述第二天线A2在GPSL5的电流相反,降低了展开态的所述第二天线A2在GPSL5的效率。但是该实施方式下的第二电感相比所述第一匹配电路M1还包括第三支路情况下的电感更小,在可折叠电子设备10的折叠状态下,所述第一天线A1的寄生电流谐振频点移到1.33GHz~1.38GHz,如图17所示。展开态的GPSL5的效率相比原始的无寄生谐振的效率会降低0.5dB,如图18a所示,折叠态的GPSL5效率则与所述第一匹配电路M1还包括第三支路的情况相当,如图18b所示。即改进后的GPSL5折叠态效率也能提升1dB,而且能够省去所述第一匹配电路M1中增设天线开关的成本。
可选地,天线长度L1、天线间隙长度L2与天线长度L3的长度和等于所述第一天线A1的第一工作频段的二分之一波长,所述第一工作频段包括WIFI2.4G频段;
天线长度L5等于所述第二天线A2的工作频段的四分之一波长,所述第二天线A2的工作频段包括GPSL5频段;
其中,L1为所述第三天线A3靠近所述第一天线A1的端点到所述第四位置的长度,L2为所述第一天线与所述第三天线之间的间隙长度,L3为所述第一天线A1远离所述第二天线A2的端点到所述第二位置的长度,L5为所述第二天线A2远离所述第一天线A1的端点到所述第三位置的长度。
一种实施方式中,可以设计所述第一天线A1工作在WIFI2.4G频段,所述第二天线A2工作在GPSL5频段,因此可以合理设计所述第一天线A1、所述第二天线A2和所述第三天线A3上的天线长度,以及所述第一天线A1与所述第三天线A3之间的间隙长度。当然所述第一天线A1还可以工作在其他频段。
具体地,如图1所示,所述第三天线A3上的天线长度L1为下地点到靠近所述第一天线A1的端点之间的长度,L2为所述第一天线A1与所述第三天线A3之间的间隙,所述第一天线A1上的天线长度L3为靠近所述第三天线A3的端点到馈电点之间的长度。为使所述第一天线A1能够工作在WIFI2.4G频段,可以设计L1+L2+L3的长度等于所述第一天线A1的谐振频段即WIFI2.4G频段的二分之一波长。
所述第二天线A2上的天线长度L5为远离所述第一天线A1的端点到下地点之间的长度。为使所述第二天线A2能够工作在GPSL5频段,可以设计L5的长度等于所述第二天线A2的谐振频段即GPSL5频段的四分之一波长。
这样,通过合理设计各天线长度,可以确保主屏幕天线能够工作在WIFI2.4G频段,副屏幕天线工作在GPSL5频段,从而能够使主副屏幕的天线频段的频率比为1.9左右,以减少折叠后两个对应天线枝节频段的频偏问题。
可选地,天线长度L3与天线长度L4的长度和等于所述第一天线A1的第二工作频段的四分之一波长,所述第二工作频段包括中高频段(Middle high band,MHB);
天线长度L5等于所述第二天线A2的工作频段的四分之一波长,所述第二天线A2的工作频段包括GPSL5频段;
其中,L3为所述第一天线A1远离所述第二天线A2的端点到所述第二位置的长度,L4为所述第二位置到所述第一位置的长度,L5为所述第二天线A2远离所述第一天线A1的端点到所述第三位置的长度。
一种实施方式中,可以设计所述第一天线A1还可工作在MHB频段,所述第二天线A2工作在GPSL5频段,因此可以合理设计所述第一天线A1和所述第二天线A2上的天线长度。
具体地,如图1所示,所述第一天线A1上的天线长度L3为靠近所述第三天线A3的端点到馈电点之间的长度,所述第一天线A1上的天线长度L4为馈电点到下地点之间的长度。为使所述第一天线A1能够工作在MHB频段,如B1、B3和B39频段,可以设计L3+L4的长度等于所述第一天线A1的谐振频段(如B1、B3和B39频段中的最高频段)的四分之一波长。
所述第二天线A2上的天线长度L5为远离所述第一天线A1的端点到下地点之间的长度。为使所述第二天线A2能够工作在GPSL5频段,可以设计L5的长度等于所述第二天线A2的谐振频段即GPSL5频段的四分之一波长。
这样,通过合理设计各天线长度,可以确保主屏幕天线还能够工作在MHB频段,副屏幕天线工作在GPSL5频段,从而能够使主副屏幕的天线频段的频率比为1.9左右,以减少折叠后两个对应天线枝节频段的频偏问题。
可选地,天线长度L3等于所述第一天线A1的第三工作频段的四分之一波长,所述第三工作频段包括N78频段;
天线长度L5等于所述第二天线A2的工作频段的四分之一波长,所述第二天线A2的工作频段包括GPSL5频段;
其中,L3为所述第一天线A1远离所述第二天线A2的端点到所述第二位置的长度,L5为所述第二天线A2远离所述第一天线A1的端点到所述第三位置的长度。
一种实施方式中,可以设计所述第一天线A1还可工作在N78频段,所述第二天线A2工作在GPSL5频段,因此可以合理设计所述第一天线A1和所述第二天线A2的天线长度。
具体地,如图1所示,所述第一天线A1上的天线长度L3为靠近所述第三天线A3的端点到馈电点之间的长度。为使所述第一天线A1能够工作在N78频段,可以设计L3的长度等于所述第一天线A1的谐振频段即N78频段的四分之一波长。
所述第二天线A2上的天线长度L5为远离所述第一天线A1的端点到下地点之间的长度。为使所述第二天线A2能够工作在GPSL5频段,可以设计L5的长度等于所述第二天线A2的谐振频段即GPSL5频段的四分之一波长。
这样,通过合理设计各天线长度,可以确保主屏幕天线还能够工作在N78频段,副屏幕天线工作在GPSL5频段,从而能够使主副屏幕的天线频段的频率比为1.9左右,以减少折叠后两个对应天线枝节频段的频偏问题。
也就是说,一种实施方式中,通过合理设计各天线长度L1、L2、L3和L4,可以使所述第一天线A1同时工作在N78、WIFI2.4G和MHB频段等中的一个或多个频段。
可选地,天线长度L1等于所述第三天线A3的工作频段的四分之一波长,所述第三天线A3的工作频段包括GPSL1频段;
其中,L1为所述第三天线A3靠近所述第一天线A1的端点到所述第四位置的长度。
一种实施方式中,可以设计所述第三天线A3工作在GPSL1频段,因此可以合理设计所述第三天线A3的天线长度。
具体地,如图1所示,所述第三天线A3上的天线长度L1为靠近所述第一天线A1的端点到下地点之间的长度。为使所述第三天线A3能够工作在GPSL1频段,可以设计L1的长度等于所述第三天线A3的谐振频段即GPSL1频段的四分之一波长。
这样,通过合理设计各天线长度,可以确保所述天线结构能够工作在GPSL1频段,以满足所述电子设备在GPSL1频段的使用需求。
需说明的是,通过对所述第一天线A1、所述第二天线A2和所述第三天线A3的工作频段进行合理规划布局,将靠近铰链一侧的主屏第一天线A1设计成频率比较高的频段,如MHB频段和N78频段,或者加WIFI2.4G/5G频段等,靠近铰链一侧的副屏寄生第二天线A2设计成频率比较低的频段,如GPSL5频段或者低频LB频段,使两者频率比为1.9,如图15所示,来减少折叠后两个对应天线枝节频段的频偏问题。因为在折叠屏上采用上述频段方案布局,所以不仅第一天线A1的MHB频段只频偏30MHz~40MHz以内,如图16a所示,而且将第二天线A2的GPSL5频段在展开态和折叠态之间的原始频偏控制在25MHz以内,如图16b所示。合理的频段方案布局再加上应用偶极IFA天线的匹配和方案设计,匹配后的GPSL5频段在展开态和折叠态后的频偏能更进一步缩小到5M以内,如图16c所示。
也就是说,通过合理设计各天线L1、L2、L3、L4和L5的长度,可以使所述第一天线A1同时工作在N78、WIFI2.4G和MHB频段,使所述第二天线A2工作在GPSL5频段,使所述第三天线A3工作在GPSL1频段,从而不仅能够丰富所述天线结构的工作频段,而且能够极大减少电子设备折叠后两个对应天线枝节频段的频偏问题。
可选地,所述天线结构还包括第二匹配电路M2;
所述第二馈源F2与所述第二天线A2上远离所述第一天线A1的第六位置连接,所述第二匹配电路M2的一端与所述第六位置连接,另一端接地;
所述第二匹配电路M2包括串联的第三电感和第三电容。
一种实施方式中,可在所述第二天线A2上设置馈电点和LC匹配电路,用于降低所述第二天线A2对所述第一天线A1的影响。LC匹配电路中的L表示电感,C表示电容。具体地,如图1所示,所述第二天线A2上远离所述第一天线A1的第六位置连接第二馈源F2和第二匹配电路M2,如图6a所示,所述第二匹配电路M2为第三电感L3和第三电容C3串联的LC串联电路。
可折叠电子设备10在折叠状态下,图9a所示的第二天线A2枝节在第一天线A1的N78频带内感应出了一个高次谐波即寄生枝节电流9(I9),和折叠态下第一天线A1的N78频段产生的电流10(I10)相反,因此可采用第二匹配电路M2的复杂LC匹配将寄生电流的杂波调出带外。通过所述第二匹配电路M2中的LC匹配,在GPSL5频段内等效于电容,在N78频段内等效于大电容或者0欧姆,除了对GPSL5起阻抗匹配作用,在折叠态时可用来将反向左半边的寄生枝节电流9(I9)的谐振频率移到比3.3GHz还低的频率,以减少其寄生电流对第一天线A1在N78频段的影响。综上所述的调试方式,所述第一天线A1的史密斯圆图如图10a所示,其折叠态效率如图12a所示。
这样,通过在第二天线A2上设置第二匹配电路M2,可在折叠态下极大减少所述第二天线A2对所述第一天线A1的影响,以此提高所述第一天线A1的效率。
可选地,所述天线结构还包括第三馈源F3和第三匹配电路M3;
所述第三馈源F3与所述第三天线A3上靠近所述第一天线A1的第七位置连接,所述第三匹配电路M3的一端与所述第七位置连接,另一端接地;
所述第三匹配电路M3包括串联的第四电感和第四电容。
一种实施方式中,可在所述第三天线A3上设置馈电点和LC匹配电路,用于解决对口天即所述第三天线A3和所述第一天线A1之间在高频段(High Band,HB)的隔离度问题。具体地,如图1所示,所述第三天线A3上靠近所述第一天线A1的第七位置连接第三馈源F3和第三匹配电路M3,如图6b所示,所述第三匹配电路M3为第四电感L4和第四电容C4串联的LC串联电路。
如图1所示,所述第三天线A3和所述第一天线A1为断缝两边对口天线,因为中间无下地,所以一般隔离度较差。图6b所示的第三匹配电路M3为电感L和电容C的串联谐振下地电路,其在所述第一天线A1的HB频段内等效于0欧姆下地,在GPSL1频段内等效于电容下地,从而不仅可解决所述第三天线A3和所述第一天线A1之间在HB的隔离度问题,如图7d所示,优化后的隔离度最差为-18dB,可满足射频隔离度要求,而且还可以通过调整所述第三匹配电路M3的谐振位置来控制所述第一天线A1在HB频段的效率峰值位置。其中,所述第一天线A1的HB的电流实际为图5a所示的对口同向半波模态。
这样,通过在第三天线A3上设置第三匹配电路M3,可解决所述第三天线A3和所述第一天线A1之间在HB的隔离度问题,还可通过调整所述第三匹配电路M3的谐振位置来提高所述第一天线A1的效率。
可选地,所述天线结构还包括第四匹配电路M4;
所述第四匹配电路M4的一端与所述第四天线A4上靠近所述第二天线A2的第八位置连接,另一端接地;
所述第四匹配电路M4包括并联的第四支路和第五支路,所述第四支路包括串联的第五电感和第五电容,所述第五支路包括第六电感。
一种实施方式中,可在所述第四天线A4上设置LC匹配电路,用于减少所述第四天线A4对所述第一天线A1的效率影响。具体地,如图1所示,所述第四天线A4上靠近所述第二天线A2的第八位置连接第四匹配电路M4,如图6c所示,所述第四匹配电路M4为LC串并联电路,具体为第五电感L5与第五电容C5串联,再与第六电感L6并联。
在可折叠电子设备10处于折叠状态下,如图9a所示,所述第一天线A1在折叠态的电流模态和图5a所示展开的电流模态一致,但是可折叠电子设备10折叠后副屏幕112和主屏幕111的间距十分近,由于感应电流原理,无源枝节越靠近有源枝节,其本身会被激励起很强的感应谐振电流(类似于现在常规电子设备设计中的馈电枝节可以激励起对口无源寄生枝节的电流)。此时所述第四天线A4枝节在所述第一天线A1的HB频段附近产生了超过一个本身谐振的高次谐波,即反向的寄生枝节电流8(I8),其右半边的寄生电流8与展开态的B40和B41频段的电流2(I2)相反。右半边的寄生电流8如果落在B40和B41频带内则会导致所述第一天线A1的效率降低,所以需要使所述第四匹配电路M4匹配在B40和B41频段时等效于0欧姆或者大电容下地,以将右半边的寄生电流8的谐振频率移到比2.7GHz更高的频率,减少其对所述第一天线A1的效率影响。
另外,从图9b所示,主屏幕111第三天线A3的GPSL1在折叠态下的电流和图5b所示展开态的电流方向一致,而副屏幕112寄生的电流模态通过所述第四匹配电路M4匹配在GPSL1等效于小电容,将其寄生谐振频率拉到1.75GHz附近,如图10b所示的折叠态GPSL1的史密斯圆图。1.75GHz处的寄生谐振电流和所述第三天线A3在GPSL1的电流3(I3)相反,但是在1.55GHz~1.65GHz频段内,所述第二天线A2的寄生谐振电流的相位刚好转向180°,如图9b的电流7(I7)所示,此时所述第二天线A2的寄生谐振电流7(I7)和所述第三天线A3在GPSL1的电流3(I3)同向,进而可增大天线辐射口径效率,对折叠态后的GPSL1天线效率可提升1dB左右,如图12b所示的GPSL1的折叠态效率。所述第一天线A1、所述第二天线A2和所述第三天线A3在折叠态的隔离度如图11所示。
这样,通过在第四天线A4上设置第四匹配电路M4,不仅可在折叠态下极大减少所述第四天线A4对所述第一天线A1的影响,以此提高所述第一天线A1的效率,还可提高所述第三天线A3的GPSL1的效率。
本申请实施例中,通过各天线上的匹配电路,不仅解决对口天线第一天线A1和第三天线A3之间的隔离度问题,而且巧妙解决了主副屏之间展开和折叠状态下的第一天线A1、第二天线A2和第三天线A3间的互耦影响问题,保证了折叠和展开状态下的三个天线效率,使每个天线都处于性能最好状态。
下面以所述第一天线A1工作在N78、WIFI2.4G和MHB频段(即B3、B39、B1、B40、WIFI2.4G和B41频段),所述第二天线A2工作在GPSL5频段,所述第三天线A3工作在GPSL1频段为例,结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例作更进一步说明:
如图1所示,所述天线结构具有天线长度L1、L2、L3、L4、L5、L6、L7和L8,各天线长度根据各天线的工作频段进行合理设计。
可折叠电子设备10在展开状态下,所述第一天线A1在B1、B3和B39频段为图5a中曲线1所示的倒F天线(Inverted-F Antenna,IFA)模态,该模态下产生电流1(I1),由图1所示的L3+L4两者共同长度所决定,L3+L4的长度一般为其谐振频段的四分之一波长;在B40、B41以及WIFI2.4G频段则处于图5a中曲线2所示的同向半波模态,由图1所示的L3+L2+L1的共同长度所决定,L3+L2+L1的长度一般为其谐振频段的二分之一波长;在N78频段是图5a中曲线3所示的单极子模态,也由图1所示的L3的长度所决定,L3的长度一般为其谐振频段的四分之一波长。所述第一天线A1在展开态的史密斯圆图如图7a所示,其效率如图8a所示。
所述第二天线A2工作在GPSL5频段,为图5c所示的IFA模态,由图1所示的L5长度所决定,L5的长度一般为其谐振频段的四分之一波长。所述第二天线A2在展开态的史密斯圆图如图7c所示,其效率如图8c所示。
所述第三天线A3工作在GPSL1频段,为图5b所示的IFA模态,由图1所示的L1长度所决定,L1的长度一般为其谐振频段的四分之一波长。所述第三天线A3在展开态的史密斯圆图如图7b所示,其效率如图8b所示。
目前大多数折叠屏天线方案,在电子设备屏幕折叠后,通过调谐副屏的LC匹配,将LC匹配上的寄生枝节变成同向电流来提升效率,类似于本申请实施例中的GPSL1的副寄生枝节,然后这种方案一旦屏幕展开,基本无提升效果。然而,本申请实施例参考折叠偶极子的基础原理,对GPSL5采用了一种新的设计方式,即偶极IFA天线,不仅可以在折叠态中,提升GPSL5折叠态的效率,而且在可折叠电子设备10展开后也能进一步提升GPSL5展开态的效率。偶极IFA天线,其实就是两个IFA天线,通过铰链,并排放置在铰链的两侧。可折叠电子设备10在展开后,第一天线A1的第一匹配电路M1通过开关切通第一支路和第三支路,此状态可称为开关状态1,将所述第一天线A1本身的寄生谐振频点移到1.12GHz,在GPSL5带内形成图13a所示偶极IFA电流,如图5c所示,所述第二天线A2产生电流5(I5),所述第一天线A1产生电流4(I4),其原理和图14a所示展开的常规偶极子的另一侧地枝节的电流一样,形成同向电流提升效率。可折叠电子设备10在折叠后,所述第一天线A1的第一匹配电路M1如果还采用开关状态1,从原理上来说偶极IFA在折叠后的电流为图13b所示,和图14b的常规偶极子在折叠后的电流一样,此时电流相反,只会降低副屏的GPSL5天线的效率。本申请实施例中另避蹊径,通过所述第一天线A1的第一匹配电路M1的开关切通第一支路和第二支路,此状态可称为开关状态2,将所述第一天线A1本身的寄生谐振频点移到1.27GHz附近,使得f0(1.27GHz)和f1(GPSL5的谐振频点1.176GHz)的频率差Δf能够使GPSL5带内的电流相位ΔΦ反向180°,形成如图13c所示折叠态下的偶极IFA天线的同向电流分布。此设计的优点是保证了GPSL5在两个屏幕夹角的极差环境下仍能达到把GPSL5设计到主屏天线的性能。其中Δf与ΔΦ的关系如下公式所示:
Δφ=Δβ×L
Δφ=Δβ×L
此外本申请实施例对于所述第一天线A1、所述第三天线A3以及所述第二天线A2的频段合理规划布局,靠近铰链一侧的主屏上第一天线A1设计成频率比较高的频段,如MHB和N78频段,或者加WIFI2.4G/5G频段等,靠近铰链一侧的副屏寄生天线即第二天线A2设计成频率比较低的频段,如GPSL5频段,两者频率比为1.9,如图15所示,来减少折叠后两个对应天线枝节频段的频偏问题。因为在折叠屏上采用本申请的频段方案布局,所以不仅所述第一天线A1的MHB频段只频偏30MHz~40MHz以内,如图16a所示,而且把所述第二天线A2的GPSL5展开和折叠之间的原始频偏控制在25MHz以内,如图16b所示。合理的频段方案布局再加上应用偶极IFA的匹配和方案设计,匹配后的GPSL5在展开态和折叠态的频偏能更进一步缩小到5M以内,如图16c所示。
在本申请实施例中,可折叠电子设备包括折叠屏和天线结构,该天线结构包括:第一天线、第二天线、第一馈源、第二馈源和第一匹配电路;其中,所述第一天线设置在所述折叠屏的主屏幕的边框,所述第二天线设置在所述折叠屏的副屏幕的边框,所述第一天线与所述第二天线均与铰接件连接,所述铰接件设置在所述主屏幕与所述副屏幕之间;所述第一天线上靠近所述第二天线的第一位置接地;所述第一馈源与所述第一天线上远离所述第二天线的第二位置连接,所述第一匹配电路的一端与所述第二位置连接,另一端接地;所述第二馈源与所述第二天线连接,所述第二天线上靠近所述第一天线的第三位置接地;所述第一天线与所述第二天线工作在不同频段,所述第一匹配电路包括两个调谐支路,其中一个调谐支路用于调谐所述第一天线的谐振频段为第一频段,使得在所述折叠屏处于展开状态下时所述第一天线产生的寄生电流与所述第二天线产生的电流同向,另一个调谐支路用于调谐所述第一天线的谐振频段为第二频段,使得在所述折叠屏处于折叠状态下时所述第一天线产生的寄生电流与所述第二天线产生的电流同向,所述第一频段低于所述第二天线的工作频段,所述第二频段高于所述第二天线的工作频段。这样,通过在可折叠电子设备主屏幕的天线上布设包括两个调谐支路第一匹配电路,不仅能够在电子设备展开时,通过一调谐支路调谐第一天线的谐振频段使得第一天线与第二天线产生同向电流,提升展开态下的天线效率,还能够在电子设备折叠时,通过另一调谐支路调谐第一天线的谐振频段,以改变第一天线在第二天线的工作频段内产生的寄生谐振电流的相位,使其与第二天线产生的电流同向,进而增大天线辐射口径效率,提升折叠态下的天线效率。
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。
上面结合附图对本申请的实施例进行了描述,但是本申请并不局限于上述的具体实施方式,上述的具体实施方式仅仅是示意性的,而不是限制性的,本领域的普通技术人员在本申请的启示下,在不脱离本申请宗旨和权利要求所保护的范围情况下,还可做出很多形式,均属于本申请的保护之内。
