A dual-band antenna structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention will now be described.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the dual-band antenna structure, the dual-band antenna structure includes a dielectric plate 1, a metal ground 2, a first antenna branch 3 and a second antenna branch 4. The dielectric plate 1 has a front surface and a back surface, the metal ground 2 and the first antenna branch 3 are arranged on the front surface of the dielectric plate 1, a feeding point 5 is arranged between the metal ground 2 and the first antenna branch 3, and the dual-frequency antenna structure is fed from the feeding point 5. The second antenna is arranged on the back of the dielectric plate 1, the dielectric plate 1 is provided with a metal through hole 10 electrically connected with the first antenna branch 3 and the second antenna branch 4, and the inductance loading effect is carried out through the metal through hole 10. The projections of the first metal branch and the second metal branch on the front surface of the dielectric plate 1 are provided with an overlapping area, the equivalent capacitance values of the first antenna branch 3 and the second antenna branch 4 on the front surface and the back surface of the dielectric plate 1 are adjusted by adjusting the size of the overlapping area, and the positions of resonance frequency points are flexibly adjusted by utilizing the equivalent capacitance loading effect.
More specifically, the single metal stub antenna is referred to as a monopole antenna, which has a quarter-wavelength resonant point frequency and a three-quarter-wavelength resonant point frequency, for example, a quarter-wave resonance at 2.4GHz, a three-quarter-wave resonance point frequency at 7.2GHz, however, when the two frequency points do not match with the two frequency points required by the antenna, if the required frequency points are 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, one antenna branch is added to meet the requirement of the other frequency point in the prior art, the scheme sets an overlapping area on the projections of the first metal branch and the second metal branch on the front surface of the dielectric plate 1, the equivalent capacitance values of the first antenna branch 3 and the second antenna branch 4 on the front side and the back side of the dielectric plate 1 are adjusted by adjusting the size of the overlapping area, and the position of a resonance frequency point is flexibly adjusted by utilizing the equivalent capacitance loading effect, so that the other frequency point also meets the required frequency point value. Antenna branches are not required to be added, and the frequency point of the antenna can be adjusted under the condition that the size of the antenna is not changed.
Alternatively, the dielectric constant of the dielectric sheet 1 is between 2 and 8.
Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment of the dual-band antenna structure, the number of the overlapping areas is three to meet the requirement of frequency point adjustment. The number of overlapping areas may also be one, two, four, etc., and the specific number is not limited herein. When the number of the overlapping areas is three, there are a first overlapping area 11, a second overlapping area 12, and a third overlapping area 13, respectively. Correspondingly, the first antenna branch 3 comprises a first metal segment 31 and a second metal segment 32, and the second antenna branch 4 comprises a third metal segment 41 and a fourth metal segment 42. The first end of the first metal segment 31 is the feeding point 5, the second end of the first metal segment 31 and the first end of the third metal segment 41 have a first overlapping area 11 therebetween, the first end of the second metal segment 32 and the second end of the third metal segment 41 have a second overlapping area 12, and the second end of the second metal segment 32 and the first end of the fourth metal segment 42 have a third overlapping area 13. Thus, the dual-frequency antenna structure has three overlapping areas to meet the resonance requirement. When the length and the position of the overlapping area are changed, the sizes of the two resonance frequency points are also changed correspondingly.
Further, referring to fig. 3, the third metal segment 41 is L-shaped, so that the dual-band antenna structure is a monopole antenna. One end of the third metal segment 41 overlaps the first metal segment 31, and the other end of the third metal segment 41 overlaps the second metal segment 32.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a current distribution diagram of the dual-band antenna structure in the above embodiment when feeding at 5.8 GHz. The direction of the arrow is the direction of the current. It can be seen that the current at the red circle is inversely cancelled, where the current is minimal, where the overlap region is provided, i.e. the capacitive loading effect is quite pronounced, so the overlap region is provided at this point in fig. 3 to enhance the tuning effect.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the dual-band antenna structure, the widths of the first antenna branch 3 and the second antenna branch 4 are both 0.5 mm. When the third metal segment 41 is L-shaped, the length of the segment where the third metal segment 41 overlaps the first metal segment 31 is 4mm, and the length of the segment where the third metal segment 41 overlaps the second metal segment 32 is 10 mm. The length of the first overlap region 11 is 1mm, the length of the second overlap region 12 is 3mm, and the length of the third overlap region 13 is 3 mm. The length of the first metal segment 31 is 4mm, the length of the second metal segment 32 is 10mm, and the length of the fourth metal segment 42 is 10mm, so that when one frequency point of the dual-band antenna structure in this embodiment is 2.4GHz, the other frequency point can be adjusted to 5.8GHz by the arrangement of the overlapping region. Therefore, the frequency point of the antenna is adjusted under the action of capacitance loading, no metal branch is required to be additionally arranged, and the required double frequency point can be realized by ensuring that the volume of the antenna is unchanged. More specifically, when two frequency points of the dual-frequency antenna structure are 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz respectively, the wifi frequency band is satisfied.
Of course, the first antenna branch 3 and the second antenna branch 4 may have other widths and lengths, and the sizes of the first antenna branch 3 and the second antenna branch 4 may be set according to a desired frequency point, and the sizes are not limited herein.
Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment of the dual-band antenna structure, the metal via 10 is disposed in the first overlapping area 11. The first overlapping area 11, the second overlapping area 12 and the third overlapping area 13 are located at a greater distance from the feeding point 5, and the metal via 10 is disposed in the first overlapping area 11, so that the second overlapping area 12 and the third overlapping area 13 form a capacitive load.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a graph illustrating simulation curves of the reflection coefficient of S11 of the dual-band antenna structure and the conventional monopole antenna in fig. 3. Specifically, the dielectric plate 1 in fig. 3 has a dielectric constant of 6 and the specific dimensions are as follows: the width of the first antenna stub 3 and the width of the second antenna stub 4 are both 0.5 mm. The third metal segment 41 is L-shaped, the length of the segment where the third metal segment 41 overlaps the first metal segment 31 is 4mm, and the length of the segment where the third metal segment 41 overlaps the second metal segment 32 is 10 mm. The length of the first overlap region 11 is 1mm, the length of the second overlap region 12 is 3mm, and the length of the third overlap region 13 is 3 mm. The length of the first metal segment 31 is 4mm, the length of the second metal segment 32 is 10mm, and the length of the fourth metal segment 42 is 10 mm. The common monopole antenna is arranged on one side of the dielectric plate 1, the dielectric constant of the dielectric plate 1 is also 6, the widths of the vertical section and the horizontal section of the common monopole antenna are both 0.5mm, the length of the vertical section is 7mm, and the length of the horizontal section is 24 mm. In fig. 5, the abscissa is the resonant frequency, the ordinate is the S11 reflection coefficient, and the dotted line is the S11 simulation curve in the present embodiment, which is implemented as the S11 simulation curve of the ordinary monopole antenna. As can be seen from the S11 simulation curve in the embodiment in fig. 5, the dual-band antenna structure in the embodiment has two frequency points 1 and 2 in the figure, which are 2.6GHz and 5.8GHz, respectively, and meets the requirement of dual-band wifi frequency point. As can be seen from the S11 curve of the conventional monopole antenna in fig. 5, the antenna has two frequency points of 3 and 4, which are 2.5GHz and 7.6GHz, respectively, i.e., a quarter-wavelength mode resonance point frequency and a three-quarter-wavelength mode resonance point frequency.
The invention also provides an antenna system, which comprises the dual-band antenna structure in any embodiment.
The antenna system of the above embodiment adopts the dual-frequency antenna structure in any of the above embodiments, the dual-frequency antenna structure sets an overlap region in the projections of the first metal branch and the second metal branch on the front surface of the dielectric plate 1, the equivalent capacitance values of the first antenna branch 3 and the second antenna branch 4 on the front surface and the back surface of the dielectric plate 1 are adjusted by adjusting the size of the overlap region, and the positions of the resonant frequency points are flexibly adjusted by using the equivalent capacitance loading effect, so that the other frequency point also meets the required frequency point value. Antenna branches are not required to be added, and the frequency point of the antenna can be adjusted under the condition that the size of the antenna is not changed.
