Along with the rapid development of the internet of things technology, wearable electronic equipment gradually permeates into aspects of daily life of people. Different wearable devices according to the functions thereof can be generally divided into two types, one type is a relatively independent mobile terminal, such as smart glasses, smart watches and the like, and the other type is an expansion of the mobile terminal and is used as a sensor for detecting the physical state of a user, and compared with the former type, the wearable device has higher requirements on the communication capability of an antenna.
In order to guarantee portability, aesthetics and wearing comfort of the wearable device, the wearable device generally has a very small volume and an irregular profile, which undoubtedly limits the design space of the antenna. With the rapid development of wireless communication, the number of WiFi frequency bands is increasing, including multiple frequency bands such as 2.4G/5G/6G, and the bandwidth is also increasing. In order to be compatible with different standards of each country and cover the existing WiFi frequency band, the new generation of WLAN antenna needs to have the characteristics of broadband multi-frequency band. However, the existing antenna design schemes have the problem of larger overall size of the antenna, and are difficult to meet the two requirements of miniaturization and broadband at the same time, so how to set a broadband WLAN antenna on a small-sized wearable device is needed to be solved.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, please refer to fig. 1 to 9, the present invention proposes a dual-band wideband antenna 1000, which comprises a dielectric substrate 1, an antenna floor 2, a monopole antenna 3 and a feeding port 4, wherein the antenna floor 2 is disposed on one side of the dielectric substrate 1, the antenna floor 2 is in an L-shaped structure, a notch is formed at a projection position of the antenna floor 2 relative to the dielectric substrate 1, the monopole antenna 3 is connected to the dielectric substrate 1 and is disposed at the notch position, the monopole antenna 3 comprises a first section 31 and a second section 32, the length of the first section 31 is greater than the length of the second section 32, the feeding port 4 is connected to the monopole antenna 3 and the antenna floor 2, and the feeding port 4 is disposed at a connection position of the first section 31 and the second section 32.
The technical scheme of the invention provides a dual-band broadband antenna 1000, which specifically comprises a dielectric substrate 1, an antenna floor 2, a monopole antenna 3 and a feed port 4. The L-shaped structure and notch design of the antenna floor 2 provides an efficient mounting location for the monopole antenna 3, while the presence of the notch helps to reduce the size of the dual band wideband antenna 1000 while maintaining its performance, the monopole antenna 3 being made up of two sections of different length, which helps to adjust the resonant frequency of the antenna, thus covering a wider operating band. The feeding port 4 is located at the joint of the monopole antenna 3, which is helpful for improving the efficiency of energy transmission, reducing loss, realizing impedance matching without adding lumped elements, and improving the overall working efficiency of the dual-band wideband antenna 1000. The dual-band wideband antenna 1000 in the present solution achieves a wide bandwidth frequency response while maintaining a small size, so as to facilitate antenna installation design of a small-sized wearable device.
In an alternative embodiment, in order to facilitate installation of the monopole antenna 3 and to achieve both installation space and operation bandwidth of the monopole antenna 3, the monopole antenna 3 is disposed in a U-shape and is disposed transversely along the length direction of the antenna floor 2 at a notch position, and the feed port 4 is disposed on a side of the monopole antenna 3 close to the antenna floor 2. Referring to fig. 1, the monopole antenna 3 is provided in a U shape and is placed laterally along the length direction of the antenna floor 2. It helps to optimize the radiation pattern of the antenna, improving its directivity, thereby providing better signal transmission in a specific direction. In addition, the feeding port 4 is disposed on the side of the monopole antenna 3 close to the antenna floor 2, which helps to change the impedance matching of the dual-band wideband antenna 1000, thereby affecting the operating bandwidth of the antenna. By arranging the feed port 4 at the connection position of the first section 31 and the second section 32, the first section 31 and the second section 32 share one feed port 4, and the lengths of the first section 31 and the second section 32 are different, so that the two sections act on different working frequencies, thereby simplifying the installation structure of the dual-band broadband antenna 1000 and expanding the bandwidth of the dual-band broadband antenna 1000. The antenna solution is compact in structure and high in efficiency, and is suitable for application scenes with limited antenna installation space, such as wearable devices such as intelligent glasses and intelligent watches, and portable electronic devices such as intelligent mobile phones and tablet computers.
In an alternative embodiment, in order to adjust the coupling strength between the monopole antenna 3 and the antenna floor 2, the antenna floor 2 is adjacent to one end of the monopole antenna 3 in the length direction, and a protrusion 21 is formed to extend in the width direction of the antenna floor 2, and the protrusion 21 is coupled to the monopole antenna 3. Referring to fig. 1, the protrusion structure 21 extends in the width direction of the antenna floor 2 and is coupled with the monopole antenna 3. The protruding structure 21 can enhance the electromagnetic performance of the antenna, and the distance between the protruding structure 21 and the right end of the monopole antenna 3 can be changed by adjusting the size of the protruding structure 21, so that the coupling strength between the antenna floor 2 and the right end of the monopole antenna 3 is adjusted, and the transmission and the reception of electromagnetic wave signals are improved. In addition, in order to further adjust the coupling strength between the antenna floor 2 and the monopole antenna 3, the dual-band wideband antenna 1000 further includes a coupling metal sheet 5, where the coupling metal sheet 5 is disposed on a side of the dielectric substrate 1 facing away from the antenna floor 2, and the coupling metal sheet 5 corresponds to a projection position of the monopole antenna 3 on the dielectric substrate 1. Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the coupling metal sheet 5 is located at the other side of the dielectric substrate 1, corresponding to the projection position of the monopole antenna 3 on the dielectric substrate 1, and is close to the end of the antenna floor 2 facing away from the protrusion structure 21. By adjusting the distance between the coupling metal sheet 5 and the antenna floor 2, the coupling strength between the antenna floor 2 and the left end of the monopole antenna 3 can be adjusted, and the transmission and the reception of electromagnetic wave signals can be improved. Specifically, the distance between the coupling metal sheet 5 and the antenna floor 2 can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the dielectric substrate 1 or by changing the distance between the coupling metal sheet 5 and the antenna floor 2 in the length direction. In summary, the provision of the coupling metal sheet 5 helps to improve the radiation efficiency of the dual band wideband antenna 1000, enhancing the transmission of signals through interaction with the monopole antenna 3. The performance of the dual-band broadband antenna 1000 is improved while maintaining the compactness and the aesthetic property of the dual-band broadband antenna 1000. The coupling metal sheet 5 and the protruding structure 21 arranged on the antenna floor 2 can jointly play a role in adjusting the coupling strength of the monopole antenna 3 and the antenna floor 2, and the resonance frequencies of a plurality of radiation modes can be close to each other through the proper coupling strength, so that a broadband effect is realized.
In an alternative embodiment, to adapt the dual-band wideband antenna 1000 to different installation situations, the dielectric substrate 1 may be a rectangular structure with a regular shape, or the dielectric substrate 1 may be a trapezoid, and the edge of the antenna floor 2 is flush with the outer edge of the dielectric substrate 1. These different shape designs can accommodate different installation environments and space requirements. A regular rectangular dielectric substrate 1 may help simplify the manufacturing process, while a trapezoid dielectric substrate 1 may provide more design flexibility to accommodate specific installation space or aesthetic requirements. The edges of the antenna floor 2 are flush with the outer edges of the dielectric substrate 1, which helps to maintain a clean appearance of the antenna, while also possibly helping to improve the performance of the antenna, since the alignment of the edges may help to reduce reflection and scattering of signals.
In an alternative embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the dual-band wideband antenna 1000, the antenna floors 2 include two antenna floors 2, each antenna floor 2 is disposed on opposite sides of the dielectric substrate 1, each antenna floor 2 is formed with a plurality of short-circuit vias 22, and the short-circuit vias 22 of the two antenna floors 2 correspond to each other. Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the antenna floor 2 is divided into two pieces respectively disposed on opposite sides of the dielectric substrate 1. Which helps to improve the symmetry and balance of the antenna and thus optimize the radiation pattern and performance of the dual band wideband antenna 1000. In addition, the short-circuit via hole 22 can make the antenna floors 2 on two sides fully connected to reduce the generation of interference modes, and meanwhile, the antenna floors 2 on two sides increase the area for disposing other electronic elements, so that the wearable device can realize more complex functions. The design and installation of the high-performance antenna are convenient to realize in a limited space.
In an alternative embodiment, to achieve fine tuning of the dual band wideband antenna 1000, the monopole antenna 3 has an arcuate meander structure. The electrical length of the antenna can be changed by arranging the bending structure, so that the resonant frequency of the antenna can be adjusted. The method for fine tuning the antenna performance is realized by adopting the adjustment of the physical structure, so that the method can adapt to different working frequency bands. The dual-band wideband antenna 1000 is facilitated to achieve a wide bandwidth frequency response while maintaining a small physical size.
The structural principles of the two embodiments in the present solution are specifically described below.
