Detailed Description
First, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. And can be modified as needed by those skilled in the art to suit particular applications.
Next, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms of direction or positional relationship indicated by the terms "inside", "outside", and the like are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which are merely for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that a device or a member must have a specific orientation, be configured in a specific orientation, and operate, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
In the related art, a display apparatus includes a display screen for displaying an image and a communication module for communicating with a control device or a server according to various communication protocol types, wherein the communication module transmits or receives electromagnetic waves through an antenna. The antenna is a metal stamping part or a three-dimensional ceramic part, a clearance mounting area is arranged on the PCB, the mounting area is positioned on the outer side of the ground wire of the PCB, and the antenna is mounted in the mounting area in a welding mode. More and more devices require the use of a small-sized PCB, however, a clearance mounting area for mounting an antenna on the PCB limits the size of the PCB, so that the area of the PCB cannot be effectively reduced.
Through repeated thinking and verification, the inventor of the present application finds that if a clearance area is provided inside a ground metal layer of a PCB board, a radiating element is installed inside the clearance area and is slot-coupled with the ground metal layer, and at the same time, the radiating element is electrically connected with a feeder line. Thus, the radiating element, the ground metal layer, and the coupling slot between the radiating element and the ground metal layer define an antenna for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves. Like this, need not set up the installing zone that is used for installing the antenna alone on the PCB board, and then the area of PCB board can not receive the restriction of installing zone for the area of PCB board can effectively reduce, and the height of PCB board can not increase simultaneously, makes the PCB board can be used for ultra-thin type display device.
In view of the above, the present inventors have devised an antenna assembly in which a clearance is provided inside a ground metal layer on one side of a PCB board, a radiation arm unit is mounted in the clearance and the radiation arm unit is slot-coupled to the ground metal layer. The radiation arm unit is electrically connected with the feeder line, and an antenna for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves is defined by the radiation arm unit, the ground metal layer and a coupled gap therebetween. The installation area for installing the antenna is avoided being independently arranged on the PCB, and the limitation of the installation area on the size of the PCB is further eliminated.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an antenna assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the antenna assembly provided in the present embodiment includes a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) 100, a radiation arm unit 120, and a feeder line 130. The surface of the PCB 100 is provided with a ground metal layer 110, and the ground metal layer 110 may be fixed to the substrate of the PCB 100 by soldering, for example. It is noted that the shape of the ground metal layer 110 may be any suitable shape, such as rectangular or circular. In general, copper may be used as a material of the ground metal layer 110. The ground metal layer 110 is provided with a clearance area 111 inside, and the clearance area 111 may be rectangular, specifically, the clearance area 111 is a region inside the ground metal layer 110, and a portion of the ground metal layer 110 in the region is removed. For example, the clearance area 111 may be disposed at a side of the ground metal layer 110, as shown in fig. 1, the clearance area 111 may be disposed at a left side of the ground metal layer 110, the clearance area 111 is provided with an opening and the opening of the clearance area 111 is located at the left side of the ground metal layer 110, so as to facilitate the antenna assembly to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals.
The radiation arm unit 120 is disposed coplanar with the ground metal layer 110, i.e., the radiation arm unit 120 and the ground metal layer 110 are located on the same side of the PCB board. Fig. 1 shows that the radiation arm unit 120 is located inside the clearance area 111, and a gap is provided between the radiation arm unit 120 and the ground metal layer 110, that is, a gap is provided between the radiation arm unit 120 and the edge of the clearance area 111. In a possible implementation manner, the radiation arm unit 120 may also be fixed to the substrate of the PCB board 100 by soldering, and a portion of the radiation arm unit 120 for transmitting a signal is slot-coupled to the ground metal layer 110 adjacent to the portion. The length of the radiation arm unit 120 may be adjusted according to the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave signal, that is, the length of the radiation arm unit 120 may be a quarter of the wavelength, and it is worth mentioning that the length of the radiation arm unit 120 may be slightly shorter than the quarter of the wavelength due to the influence of the substrate of the PCB 100.
The feed line 130 is electrically connected to the radiating arm unit 120, and an RF trace line may be used as the feed line 130 of the antenna assembly, for example. Fig. 1 shows that the ground metal layer 110 is provided with a channel for passing through the feed line 130 below the clearance area 111, a part of the feed line 130 is located inside the channel and the top end of the feed line 130 is fixed with the bottom end of the radiation arm unit 120, wherein the feed line 130 and the bottom end of the radiation arm unit 120 can be fixed by welding. Preferably, a space is provided between the feeding line 130 and the channel, so as to prevent the ground metal layer 110 from affecting signals transmitted by the feeding line 130. It is easily understood that the feeding line 130 is used to input a radio frequency signal to the radiation arm unit 120, and the radio frequency signal may be primarily radiated by the radiation arm unit 120. A portion of the radiation arm unit 120 for transmitting a signal is slot-coupled with the ground metal layer 110 adjacent to the portion, so that the ground metal layer 110 may also serve as a radiation member, i.e., the ground metal layer 110, the radiation arm unit 120 and the coupling slot therebetween define an antenna for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals.
The present embodiment provides an antenna assembly in which the clearance area 111 is provided inside the ground metal layer 110, the radiation arm unit 120 is provided inside the clearance area 111, and the radiation arm unit 120 is slot-coupled to the ground metal layer 110. The radiation arm unit 120, the ground metal layer 110, and the coupling slot therebetween define an antenna for transceiving electromagnetic waves. Thus, a mounting area for mounting an antenna does not need to be separately provided on the PCB 100 outside the ground metal layer 110, and the size of the PCB 100 is not limited by the mounting area, so that the area of the PCB 100 can be effectively reduced. On the other hand, the antenna assembly provided by the embodiment can reduce the cost compared with the case of separately soldering the antenna on the PCB 100, and at the same time, the height of the PCB is not increased, so that the antenna assembly can be used for an ultra-thin display device.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another antenna assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 is a partial structural schematic diagram of the radiation arm unit in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 2-3, the radiating arm unit 120 includes a main branch 121, a first branch 122 and a second branch 123, wherein a first end 1211 of the main branch, i.e., the bottom end of the main branch 121, is electrically connected to the feeder line 130, and a second end 1212 of the main branch, i.e., the top end of the main branch 121, is electrically connected to the first branch 122. The main leg 121 is electrically connected to a first end of a second leg 123 at a location proximate the first end. For example, the main branch 121, the first branch 122 and the second branch 123 may be manufactured as a single piece through a one-step molding process, and the main branch 121 and the feeder line 130 are electrically connected by means of soldering. The specific widths of the main branch 121, the first branch 122 and the second branch 123 are not limited herein, and those skilled in the art can set the widths of the main branch 121, the first branch 122 and the second branch 123 according to the radiation bandwidth of the radiation arm.
It should be noted that the main branch 121 and the first branch 122 form a high-frequency radiating arm 125 for outputting a high-frequency signal, wherein the frequency of the high-frequency signal is 5-7GHz, which can meet the requirement of WiFi6E in the 6GHz band, and in a possible implementation, the length of the high-frequency radiating arm 125 may be a quarter of the wavelength of the high-frequency signal with the frequency of 6 GHz. The second branch 123 and the portion of the main branch 121 between the first end and the junction with the second branch 123 constitute a low frequency radiating arm 126 for outputting a low frequency signal, wherein the frequency of the low frequency signal is 2.4-2.5GHz, and the length of the low frequency radiating arm 126 may be, for example, one quarter of the wavelength of the low frequency signal with the frequency of 2.45 GHz.
It is easy to understand that the high frequency signal has a relatively long wavelength compared to the low frequency signal, and the generation of the high frequency signal by the radiating arm or the low frequency signal is related to the length of the radiating arm, i.e. the length of the radiating arm is equal to a quarter of the wavelength. That is, the length of the low frequency radiating arm 126 is greater than the length of the high frequency radiating arm 125, and the end of the low frequency radiating arm 126 and the end of the high frequency radiating arm 125 are slot-coupled to the ground metal layer 110 adjacent thereto, respectively. In the antenna assembly provided by this embodiment, the radiating arm includes the main branch 121, the first branch 122, and the second branch 123, when the feeder 130 transmits a radio frequency signal for the radiating arm unit, the radiating arm unit can perform a frequency division function, the high-frequency radiating arm 125 can output a high-frequency signal, and the low-frequency radiating arm 126 can output a low-frequency signal, so as to meet the requirement of the antenna assembly for transceiving a multi-frequency signal. On the other hand, the portion of the main branch 121 between the first end and the junction with the second branch 123 is a portion shared by the high-frequency radiating arm 125 and the low-frequency radiating arm 126, and the total length of the high-frequency radiating arm 125 and the low-frequency radiating arm 126 can be reduced by providing this portion, so as to reduce the area of the clearance area 111, and a person skilled in the art can adjust the length of the low-frequency radiating arm 126 by adjusting the length of the portion shared by the high-frequency radiating arm 125 and the low-frequency radiating arm 126, so as to adjust the frequency of the low-frequency signal generated by the low-frequency radiating arm 126.
Fig. 2 shows that the low frequency radiating arm 126 further comprises a ground branch 124, and the length direction of the ground branch 124 extends in the first direction. Illustratively, the ground branch 124 is formed in a stripe structure having a length direction extending in the first direction, and the ground branch 124 is disposed at a left position of the ground metal layer 110. The top end of the ground branch 124 is fixedly connected to the left side of the ground metal layer 110, a first slit 140 extending in the first direction is provided between the ground branch 124 and the ground metal layer 110, and the ground branch 124 is coupled to the ground metal layer 110. Illustratively, the first slit 140 may be formed at the left side of the ground metal layer 110 through an etching process, thereby forming the ground branch 124 at the left side of the ground metal layer 110. It is easily understood that the first gap 140 between the ground branch 124 and the ground metal layer 110 defines the length of the ground branch 124, and by arranging the ground branch 124 to reduce the area of the clearance area 111 when the low-frequency radiating arm 126 meets the length requirement for generating a low-frequency signal, the size of the PCB board can be further reduced.
The second branch 123 includes a first section 1231 having a length extending along a first direction and a second section 1233 having a length extending along a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, specifically, the first direction is a vertical direction in fig. 2, and the second direction is a horizontal direction in fig. 2, that is, the second branch 123 includes the first section 1231 and the second section 1233 which are perpendicular to each other. The first end 1234 of the second section, i.e., the right end of the second section 1233, is electrically connected to the main leg 121, and the second end 1235 of the second section, i.e., the left end of the second end, is electrically connected to the first end 1232 of the first section, i.e., the bottom end of the first section 1231. Fig. 2 shows that the length direction of the first segment 1231 is the same as the length direction of the ground branch 124, and the first segment 1231 is at least partially opposite to the ground branch 124, i.e., the first segment 1231 may be entirely opposite to the ground branch 124, or the upper portion of the first segment 1231 is opposite to the ground branch 124. The second slot 150 is formed between the first segment 1231 and the ground branch 124, and the first segment 1231 is slot-coupled to the ground branch 124, i.e., the first segment 1231 is slot-coupled to the ground branch 124 through the second slot 150.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, by providing the ground branch 124, the ground branch 124 is slot-coupled to the first section 1231 of the second branch 123, that is, when the feeder 130 inputs the radio frequency signal, the second branch 123 feeds the ground branch 124 by way of coupling, and the length of the ground branch 124 can be reduced while ensuring the length of the low frequency radiating arm 126, so as to avoid that the length of the second branch 123 is too long and occupies a large clearance area 111.
It is worth mentioning that the first slit 140 is 0.5-1.5 times the width of the ground branch 124, and for example, when the width of the ground branch 124 is 2mm, the width of the first slit 140 may be 1-3 mm. The width of the second slit 150 is 0.1-0.5 times the width of the second branch 123. For example, when the width of the second branch 123 is 1mm, the width of the second slit 150 may be 0.1-0.5 mm. Setting the width of the second slot 150 to be 0.1-0.5 times the width of the second branch 123 facilitates the processing of the second slot 150 and ensures the reliability of the slot coupling between the second branch 123 and the ground branch 124. It is worth mentioning that during the assembly of the antenna assembly, a worker may adjust a specific frequency of the low frequency signal by adjusting the overall length of the second branch 123, adjust a degree of resonance between the second branch 123 and the ground branch 124 by adjusting the length of the second slot 150, and specifically, when it is required to adjust the degree of resonance between the second branch 123 and the ground branch 124, may be implemented by adjusting a specific length of the first section 1231 of the second branch 123 or by adjusting a specific length of the ground branch 124.
The main leg 121 has a length direction extending in a first direction, i.e., a vertical direction in fig. 2, and the first branch 122 has a length direction extending in a second direction, i.e., a horizontal direction in fig. 2, i.e., the first branch 122 is perpendicular to the main leg 121. A third gap 160 is disposed between the first branch 122 and the ground metal layer 110, and the third gap 160 is extended along the second direction, specifically, the inner clearance area 111 of the ground metal layer 110 is rectangular, and the first branch 122 is parallel to the top edge of the clearance area 111 and is disposed between the top edge of the clearance area 111 and the third gap 160. The first branch 122 is slot-coupled to the ground metal layer 110, i.e., the first branch 122 is slot-coupled to the ground metal layer 110 through the third slot 160. It is easily understood that the length of the third slot 160 is the same as that of the first branch 122, and those skilled in the art can adjust the length of the third slot 160 by adjusting the specific lengths of the main branch 121 and the first branch 122, so as to adjust the degree of resonance between the first branch 122 and the ground metal layer 110. By providing the first branch 122 extending in the second direction and providing the third slit 160 between the first branch 122 and the ground metal layer 110, the high-frequency radiating arm 125 can be coupled with the ground metal layer 110.
It is worth mentioning that the width of the third slit 160 is 0.1-0.5 times the width of the first branch 122. For example, when the width of the first branch 122 is 2mm, the width of the third slit 160 may be 0.2-1 mm. By setting the width of the third slot 160 to 0.1 to 0.5 times the width of the first branch 122, it is possible to secure the reliability of coupling between the high-frequency radiating arm 125 and the ground metal layer 110 while facilitating the processing of the third slot 160.
Table 1 provides an alternative parameter for the antenna assembly.

As shown in table 1, the length of the first branch 122 is greater than the length of the second branch 123, while the width of the first branch 122 is greater than the width of the second branch 123. When the feeder line 130 inputs a radio frequency signal to the main branch 121, the first branch 122 and the main branch 121 generate a high frequency signal, and the frequency of the high frequency signal is 5-7 GHz; the part below the main branch 121, the second branch 123 and the third branch generate a low frequency signal having a frequency of 2.4-2.5 GHz. The width of the second slot 150 is 0.3 times the width of the second branch 123, which ensures that the second branch 123 can be reliably slot-coupled to the ground branch 124, and the width of the third slot 160 is 0.1 times the width of the first branch 122, which ensures that the first branch 122 can be reliably slot-coupled to the ground metal layer 110.
The width of the region where the ground metal layer 110 is gap-coupled to the radiation arm unit 120, i.e., the region where the ground metal layer 110 is located above the clearance region 111, is greater than the width of the low-frequency radiation arm 126, and the width of the region where the ground metal layer 110 is gap-coupled to the radiation arm unit 120 is greater than the width of the high-frequency radiation arm 125. The specific width of the slot coupling region between the ground metal layer 110 and the radiation arm unit 120 can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. It is easy to understand that the ground metal layer 110 is coupled to the high frequency radiating arm 125 and the low frequency radiating arm 126, respectively, and when the width of the region where the ground metal layer 110 is coupled to the radiating arm unit 120 is greater than the width of the high frequency radiating arm 125 and the width of the low frequency radiating arm 126, the ground metal layer 110 can function as a bandwidth extension, thereby increasing the versatility of the antenna assembly provided by the present embodiment.
Table 2 shows the test results of the antenna assembly manufactured according to table 1 above.
TABLE 2
As shown in table 2, the antenna assembly manufactured according to the scheme provided in this example has an antenna efficiency of more than 50% when transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic structural diagram of another antenna component. As shown in fig. 4, it differs from fig. 2 in that: the ground metal layer 110 is provided therein with an isolation groove 112 and two clearance areas 111 symmetrically disposed at both sides of the isolation groove 112. Illustratively, the isolation groove 112 and the two clearance areas 111 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. For example, the isolation trench 112 is disposed in the middle of the ground metal layer 110, wherein one clearance area 111 is disposed on the left side of the ground metal layer 110, and the other clearance area 111 is disposed on the right side of the ground metal layer 110.
One radiation arm unit 120 is disposed inside each of the two clearance areas 111, and each radiation arm unit 120 is electrically connected to one feeder line 130. Illustratively, the two radiation arm units 120 are symmetrical with respect to the vertical center line of the isolation trench 112, and when the isolation trench 112 is located at the center of the ground metal layer 110, the two radiation arm units 120 are also symmetrical with respect to the vertical center line of the ground metal layer 110.
In one possible implementation, the two radiation arm units 120 may respectively include a main branch 121, a first branch 122 and a second branch 123, that is, the two radiation arm units 120 may generate a low frequency signal and a high frequency signal. That is, the two radiation arm units 120 define two almost identical antennas with the ground metal layer 110, respectively, for example, a left-side dashed box in the drawing illustrates the first antenna 170 located on the left side of the isolation slot 112, and a right-side dashed box in the drawing illustrates the second antenna 180 located on the right side of the isolation slot 112.
In fig. 4, the isolation trench 112 is shown as a long stripe structure, one end of which penetrates through the upper side of the ground metal layer 110, i.e. the top end of the isolation trench 112 is located at the top edge of the ground metal layer 110; the other end of the isolation slot 112 exceeds the feeding point where the radiation arm unit 120 is connected to the feeding line 130 along the length direction of the isolation slot 112. Illustratively, the feeding point of the radiation arm unit 120 connected to the feeding line 130 is located at the bottom end of the radiation arm unit 120, and when the bottom end of the isolation slot 112 exceeds the bottom end of the radiation arm unit 120, the isolation effect of the isolation slot 112 on the two radiation arm units 120 can be ensured.
In another possible implementation manner, the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180 may also be disposed at an interval in the vertical direction, and for example, the first antenna 170 may be disposed below the second antenna 180, and in order to ensure an isolation effect between the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180, the other end of the isolation slot 112 exceeds a feeding point of the first antenna 170, where the radiation arm unit 120 is connected to the feeder 130.
In the antenna assembly provided by the present embodiment, two clearance areas 111 are disposed in the ground metal layer 110, and one radiation arm unit 120 is disposed in each clearance area 111, so that the distance for the antenna assembly to transmit electromagnetic wave signals can be increased by increasing the number of the radiation arm units 120, thereby improving the quality of the electromagnetic wave signal transmission. In addition, the two radiation arm units 120 and the ground metal layer 110 respectively define two antennas, namely, the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180, and the ground metal layer 110 is provided with the isolation slot 112 between the two radiation arm units 120, so that the isolation between the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180 can be increased, and the mutual interference between the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180 can be reduced.
Further, the width of the isolation groove 112 is greater than 3 mm. When the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180 both generate high frequency signals, the isolation between the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180 may be about-17 dB by the width of the isolation groove 112 being greater than 3mm, and when the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180 both generate low frequency signals, the isolation between the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180 may be about-30 dB by the width of the isolation groove 112 being greater than 3 mm.
Fig. 5 is a S parameter diagram of the antenna assembly in fig. 4, wherein L1 represents the S11 parameter of the first antenna 170, i.e., the return loss, L2 represents the S11 parameter of the second antenna 180, and L3 represents the S21 parameter of the isolation between the first antenna 170 and the second antenna 180.
As shown in FIG. 5, the S11 parameters for both antennas in the antenna assembly are around-10 to-15 dB at frequencies of 2.4GHz and 5.1GHz and around-10 to-20 dB at a frequency of 7 GHz. The S21 parameter between the two antennas is about-17 dB at a frequency of 2.4 GHz; the isolation between the two antennas is around-30 dB at frequencies of 5.1GHz and 7.2 GHz.
