Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous effects solved by the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The use of the term "including" in the present invention is an open-ended term that should be interpreted to mean "including, but not limited to"; additionally, the term "coupled" is used herein to include any direct or indirect connection.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a tuning system, which can be applied to an electronic device such as a mobile phone, and the tuning system includes an antenna radiator 31, an antenna matching circuit 21, a feed 01, an impedance tuner 11, an aperture tuner 12, a detection control module 13, and a metal connection portion 41.
The antenna radiator 31 is coupled to the feed 01 via an antenna matching circuit 21, and the antenna matching circuit 21 generally includes an equivalent series device Z (e.g., a capacitor) and an equivalent parallel device Y (e.g., an inductor); the aperture tuner 12 is coupled to the antenna radiator 31, and the antenna radiator 31 is grounded through a metal connection 41, which are related to the prior art and will not be described herein. The following description focuses on the arrangement of the impedance tuner 11 and the detection control module 13:
the impedance tuner 11 is coupled to a feed point of the antenna radiator 31, and the detection control module 13 detects an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) of the antenna radiator, and controls the on/off of the impedance tuner and an impedance tuning adaptation value of the impedance tuner according to a detection result of the RSSI.
As shown in fig. 2, the aperture tuner 12 includes four aperture tuning lines and an aperture tuning controllable switch (see the arrow in the dashed box identifying the aperture tuner 12 in fig. 2) that disconnects or selectively couples at least two of the aperture tuning lines to the antenna radiator. More specifically, the aperture tuning lines include a direct-connection line, or a grounded capacitor, or a grounded inductor, or a grounded serial capacitor and inductor, and the four aperture tuning lines in fig. 2 each include a grounded serial capacitor and inductor, but the capacitance and the inductance of each path are different. In this embodiment, the aperture tuner 12 is used to adjust the resonant frequency of the antenna radiator 31 to match the frequency currently used for mobile phone communication. The addition of different tuning lines (capacitance or inductance) between the switch and the antenna radiator 31 can be used to further adjust the resonant frequency to support different frequency bands.
As shown in fig. 2, the impedance tuner 11 includes three impedance tuning lines and an impedance tuning controllable switch (see an arrow in a dashed box for identifying the impedance tuner 11 in fig. 2) for disconnecting or selectively coupling at least one of the impedance tuning lines to a feed point of the antenna radiator. More specifically, the aperture tuning lines include a direct-connection line, or a grounded capacitor, or a grounded inductor, or a grounded series capacitor and inductor, and the three aperture tuning lines in fig. 1 each include a grounded series capacitor and inductor, but the capacitance and inductance of each path are different. In this embodiment, the impedance tuner 11 is configured to maximally improve Power transmission between the radio frequency front end and the antenna radiator 31, and increase TRP (Total Radiated Power) and TIS (Total isotropic sensitivity) by minimizing mismatch loss between the antenna and the antenna front end. More importantly, impedance tuning also helps compensate for environmental effects, such as the position of a person's hand and head on a smartphone.
The present embodiment also provides an electronic device comprising the tuning system described above.
As shown in fig. 3, this embodiment further provides a tuning method, including:
(1) detecting the RSSI of an antenna radiator, and judging whether the variation amplitude (for example, the deterioration amplitude, specifically, the attenuation amplitude) of the RSSI within a predetermined time t is greater than or equal to a predetermined value S1, if so, entering the step (2a), otherwise, entering the step (2 b); in this embodiment, t is 1S, and S1 is 3 dB.
(2a) Respectively carrying out aperture tuning operation and impedance tuning operation on the antenna radiator through an aperture tuner and an impedance tuner;
(2b) and carrying out aperture tuning on the antenna radiator through an aperture tuner.
From the above, the tuning system or the tuning method described above can work in two modes, the first mode being a pure aperture tuning mode, and the second mode being a combination of aperture tuning and impedance tuning.
The first mode corresponds to performance when the antenna state is FS; the second mode corresponds to performance when the antenna states are BHL, BHR, HL, HR, BHHL, BHHR. Among them, BHL, BHR, HL, HR, BHHL, BHHR are several specific cases where the handset is held by hand or close to the head, and the abbreviated terms in the art are explained as follows:
BHL is Beside Head Left Side, near the Left Head;
BHR — Beside Head Right Side, near the Right Head;
HL — Hand Left, Hand held;
HR — Hand Right;
BHHL ═ Beside Head and Hand Left Side, close to the Head of a person and held by the Left Hand;
BHHR is Beside Head and Hand Side, close to the Head and Hand held in the Right Hand.
When the system is in the first mode, the antenna performance has been tuned to be optimal, and the antenna impedance is close to the matching point. However, when a person holds the electronic device by a hand or the head of the person approaches the electronic device, the impedance of the antenna deviates from the vicinity of the matching point, the farther the deviation is, the more the impedance mismatch is, the larger the reflected power is, and the more the performance of the antenna is deteriorated; therefore, the second mode aims to pull the impedance from a position deviated from the matching point back to the vicinity of the matching point when a person holds the mobile phone or the head of the person approaches the mobile phone electronic device, so as to reduce the reflected power and improve the radiation power.
As shown in fig. 4, the condition of mode switching is a trigger condition of the impedance tuner 11: and when the RSSI deteriorates by more than 3dB in a short time, dividing the impedance tuning operation into different states according to different sections of the change amplitude, and configuring different impedance tuning adaptive values. For example, 3-5dB is the first state, 6-8dB is the second state, and more than 8dB is the third state, and the states are divided into several states, and the adjustment can be made according to the actual situation. Because the performance of the antenna is different when the states of the antenna are BHL, BHR, HL, HR, BHHL and BHHR, the antenna is related to the position of the antenna on the mobile phone, the influence of the head of a person on the upper part of the mobile phone is large, the influence of the hand of a person on the lower part of the mobile phone is large, the influence of the left head of a left hand on the left side of the mobile phone is large, and the influence of the right head of a right hand on the right side of the mobile phone is large. When the system is in these three states, the impedance tuner 11 is turned on and uses different tuning lines (capacitance or inductance) to adapt, the adaptation value is adjusted according to the actual situation, the larger the RSSI change value is, the larger the capacitance value and the smaller the inductance value are needed to adapt.
