Description
本發明涉及天線模組及無線存取點,特別是具有一共享輻射體、一第一埠、一第二埠及二個非對稱式共平面帶狀線(Asymmetric coplanar strip,ACS)饋入線的天線模組及包括該天線模組之無線存取點。 The present invention relates to an antenna module and a wireless access point, in particular to an antenna module having a shared radiator, a first port, a second port and two asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS) feed lines An antenna module and a wireless access point including the antenna module.
寬頻需求促使學術界和工業界開發毫米波(mmWave)頻段收發機。為了提升收發機品質,5G毫米波(mmWave 5G)天線設計乃是重要的主題之一。目前5G毫米波傳輸的主要挑戰為高路徑損耗及穿透損耗。為了補償這些損耗,mmWave 5G天線於室外無線基地站須具有高增益特性,而對於室內無線存取點應具有中等增益、較小的實體尺寸以及寬角度覆蓋範圍。因此,正交場型分集式天線逐漸受到重視。 The need for broadband has prompted academia and industry to develop transceivers in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band. In order to improve transceiver quality, 5G millimeter wave (mmWave 5G) antenna design is one of the important topics. At present, the main challenges of 5G mmWave transmission are high path loss and penetration loss. To compensate for these losses, mmWave 5G antennas must have high-gain characteristics for outdoor wireless base stations, and moderate gain, small physical size, and wide-angle coverage for indoor wireless access points. Therefore, orthogonal field-type diversity antennas have been paid more and more attention.
相較於傳統的共平面波導(CPW)天線,非對稱式共平面帶狀線(ACS)饋入天線,由具有單個不對稱接地平面的饋入線組成,可大幅降低面積。 Compared to traditional coplanar waveguide (CPW) antennas, asymmetric coplanar stripline (ACS) feed antennas, consisting of a feed line with a single asymmetric ground plane, can significantly reduce the area.
在習知技藝中已存在以5G毫米波頻率設計非對稱式共平面帶狀線饋入天線,具兩饋入端口以共享輻射 體(Shared Radiator)技術實現,可減少天線的實體尺寸。目前國際上雖已提出了幾種具有共享輻射體結構的天線設計,但是這些設計皆於低頻下工作,且具有相對較大的體積,並通過傳統的饋入方式(如微帶線)技術輸入能量。其中之一的設計還缺乏獨立可控的波束。亦有兩種設計則是在5G毫米波頻段採用共享孔徑(Share aperture)而不是共享輻射體的設計。而在上述已實現的設計中採用傳統的饋入技術與共享孔徑技術,因為其相對地大幅增加天線模組的體積,故相當不適合應用於5G毫米波無線存取點。如何而能克服上述天線模組的體積相對較大的缺陷,是一值得深思問題。 In the prior art, asymmetric coplanar stripline feed antennas have been designed at 5G mmWave frequencies, with two feed ports to share radiation The implementation of Shared Radiator technology can reduce the physical size of the antenna. Although several antenna designs with shared radiator structures have been proposed in the world, these designs all work at low frequencies, have relatively large volumes, and are input through traditional feeding methods (such as microstrip lines) technology. energy. One of the designs also lacked independently steerable beams. There are also two designs that use a shared aperture instead of a shared radiator in the 5G mmWave band. However, the conventional feeding technology and shared aperture technology are used in the above-mentioned designs, which are quite unsuitable for 5G mmWave wireless access points because they greatly increase the volume of the antenna module. How to overcome the relatively large volume defect of the above-mentioned antenna module is a question worth pondering.
職是之故,發明人鑒於習知技術之缺失,乃思及改良發明之意念,終能發明出本案之「天線模組及無線存取點」。 For this reason, in view of the lack of prior art, the inventor thought about the idea of improving the invention, and finally came up with the "antenna module and wireless access point" in this case.

為了改善習知技藝中天線模組體積過大的缺陷,本案引入了非對稱式共平面帶狀線(Asymmetric coplanar strip,ACS)饋入技術,使天線模組達至相對較小的尺寸,同時在相對較小的尺寸下使用共享輻射體技術,藉由整合上述兩技術,發展出本案之天線模組1(參見第一圖與第二圖),其為一雙埠正交場型分集天線模組,該天線模組1具有高增益與正交場型分集特性,可用以補償毫米波的高損耗,提升天線模組覆蓋率,因此該天線模組1於毫米波無線存取點應用中具有優勢。
In order to improve the defect of the large volume of the antenna module in the prior art, an asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS) feeding technology is introduced in this case, so that the antenna module can reach a relatively small size, and at the same time Using the shared radiator technology in a relatively small size, by integrating the above two technologies, the

第二圖是顯示一依據本發明構想之較佳實施例的天線模組及其細部結構之示意圖。在第二圖中該天線模組1具有一共享輻射體11、一第一埠12、一第二埠13、一第一ACS饋入線14與一第二ACS饋入線15,其中該共享輻射體11具有一第一邊緣111、一第二邊緣112與具有一第三邊緣1131之一階梯狀結構(stepped/ladder like structure)113;該第一ACS饋入線14具有一第一金屬走線141、一第一垂直波紋結構142、一第一不對稱接地平面143與一第一空隙144;且該第二ACS饋入線15具有一第二金屬走線151、一第二垂直波紋結構152、一第二不對稱接地平面153與一第二空隙154。如同第一圖所示,該天線模組1是設置於一電路板3上,且該電路板3是一基板。
The second figure is a schematic diagram showing an antenna module and its detailed structure according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the second figure, the
如第一圖與第二圖所示,本案提出了運作於5G毫米波(mmWave 5G)的本案之無線存取點2(參見第九圖(A)至(C))的該天線模組1。該天線模組1由一共享輻射體11與兩個非對稱式共平面帶狀線(Asymmetric coplanar strip,ACS)饋入線(14和15)組合而成。該天線模組1設計於厚度為5mil(0.127mm)的超薄PCB基板3上。該超薄基板3本質上具有靈活性,易於整合於運作於mmWave 5G的該存取點2。相較於傳統的CPW饋入技術,藉由ACS饋入技術減少共地面之面積,使天線總面積大幅減少,同時設計兩饋入端(第一埠12與第二埠13)以正交形式激發共
享輻射體11,以獲得更好的角度覆蓋範圍。因此,該天線模組1僅需約44.5mm2的總面積。相對於共享孔徑與共享輻射體,該天線模組1在面積與體積方面皆具優勢。
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present application proposes the
如第二圖所示,該天線模組1設計於PCB電路板3上,該天線模組1包括共享輻射體11,該共享輻射體11可於不改變天線特性的情況下使總面積最小化。共享輻射體11包含階梯狀結構113以提升阻抗頻寬。每個饋入端(第一埠12或第二埠13)皆以ACS饋入線(14或15)饋入,各該ACS饋入線(14或15)則由金屬走線(141或151)和垂直波紋狀結構(142或152)與不對稱接地平面(143或153)組成。各該饋入線(14或15)可藉由調整金屬走線(141或151)與垂直波紋狀結構(142或152)和不對稱接地平面(143或153)之間的間隙(144或154)以獲得50Ω的特性阻抗。然而與常見之CPW饋入天線在端射(End-fire)中產生對稱波束不同,本案之以ACS饋入的該天線模組1由於不對稱的接地平面(143或153)易使波束產生傾斜。為了抵消波束傾斜,本案於共享輻射體11處設計一階梯狀結構113,抵銷波束傾斜且具有提升頻寬之效果。同時對於以ACS饋入線饋入之運作於5G毫米波的該天線模組1,該共享輻射體11需滿足指向性需求及阻抗匹配;然而該天線模組1不需額外的阻抗匹配網路,因此本案所提出之該天線模組1在面積上深具優勢。
As shown in the second figure, the
第三圖是顯示一依據本發明構想之較佳實施例的天線模組之S參數的波形圖。在第三圖中,縱軸是dB量度,橫軸是頻率(GHz)。S12代表從第二埠13轉移到第一
埠12的電力,S21代表從第一埠12轉移到第二埠13的電力,S11是第一埠12的輸入反射係數,S22是第二埠13的輸入反射係數。由於通過第一埠12與第二埠13饋入的兩個ACS饋入線14與15的對稱性,兩個ACS饋入線14與15的S參數相同。亦即S12與S21相同,且S11與S22相同。該天線模組1適用於一25GHz至31GHz的5G毫米波頻段。

In the third graph, the vertical axis is the dB measure and the horizontal axis is the frequency (GHz). S12 represents transfer from the second port 13 to the first
The power of port 12, S21 represents the power transferred from the first port 12 to the second port 13, S11 is the input reflection coefficient of the first port 12, and S22 is the input reflection coefficient of the second port 13. Due to the symmetry of the two
第四圖是顯示一依據本發明構想之較佳實施例的天線模組之阻抗頻寬與基板厚度無關的輸入反射係數相對於頻率的波形圖。如第四圖所示,因為本案所提出之包括兩個正交的ACS饋入線(14或15)之該天線模組1的阻抗頻寬與基板厚度無關;所以,當電路板厚度分別為0.127mm,0.254mm或0.508mm時,天線特性(輸入反射係數)不會因改變電路板(即基板)厚度而有顯著變化。

The impact of the vertical corrugated structure (142 or 152) on the isolation between the two ACS feed lines (14 or 15) is shown in the fifth figure. As shown in the fifth figure, when incorporating the vertical corrugated structure (142 or 152), the isolation increases by almost 4dB.
