Description

一种集成电路和终端设备 技术领域
本申请涉及移动通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种集成电路和终端设备。
背景技术
随着通信技术的发展,通信系统对带宽、时延、传输路径损耗等要求越来越高,封装天线(antenna in package,AIP)应用而生。与现有的贴片天线相比,封装天线具有馈电路径极短、集成度高、体积小、加工精度高等特点,可以使得封装天线获得较佳的电学性能,且易于集成在终端设备中。
例如,在3G或4G系统中,智能手机中通常采用贴片天线。而在5G通信系统中,为了实现波束赋形(beamforming),通常采用封装天线。通过调节天线阵列中每个封装天线(即阵元)的幅相比,可以实现不同方向的波束扫描。
一种可实现双频通信的毫米波天线的封装结构可以如图1所示。在图1所示的封装天线中,高频辐射贴片通过馈电点直接馈电,产生高频频率响应;低频辐射贴片与高频辐射贴片耦合,产生低频频率响应,从而实现双频工作。
在图1所示的封装天线中,低频频率响应需要通过两个辐射贴片的耦合实现。具体实现时,当确定该封装天线工作的高频频段后,高频辐射贴片的尺寸即可确定;此外,根据天线的封装要求,两个辐射贴片的间距的变化范围也有固定要求。那么,在高频辐射贴片的尺寸以及两个辐射贴片的间距的变化范围均固定的情况下,两个辐射贴片的耦合程度即为在一定变化范围内的确定值,进而低频频率响应的频段也只能在相对固定的范围内变化。也就是说,采用图1所示的封装天线,可以使用的低频频段的范围较小,难以满足不同的使用需求。
综上,现有技术中提供的实现双频通信的封装天线中,存在低频频段的范围较小、难以满足使用需求的问题。

第一方面,本申请实施例提供一种应用于终端设备的集成电路,该集成电路包括:承载结构、第一辐射贴片、第二辐射贴片以及射频处理芯片,第一辐射贴片、第二幅射贴片和射频处理芯片分别被放置于承载结构的不同层上,承载结构中设置有第一馈电线以及第二馈电线,射频处理芯片通过第一馈电线向第一辐射贴片馈电,射频处理芯片通过第二馈电线向第二辐射贴片馈电。
其中,该集成电路可以视为AIP集成电路。封装天线集成电路具有馈电路径极短、集成度高、体积小、加工精度高等特点,可以使得封装天线获得较佳的电学性能。且在5G通信系统及未来通信系统中可以广泛应用。该集成电路可作为天线阵列中的一个阵元,也可以作为独立的封装天线使用。
此外,在第一方面提供的集成电路中,射频处理芯片可通过焊锡凸块分别与第一馈电 线和第二馈电线连接。
第一方面提供的集成电路中,第一辐射贴片和第二辐射贴片置于承载结构的不同层上,可分别用于接收/发送不同频段(以下称为第一频段和第二频段)的信号,因而该集成电路可实现双频工作。
此外,第一方面提供的集成电路中,第一辐射贴片和第二辐射贴片分别通过不同的馈电线(即第一馈电线和第二馈电线)馈电,因而第一辐射贴片和第二辐射贴片的耦合度较小,第一辐射贴片对应的第一频段的频率范围和第二辐射贴片对应的第二频段的频率范围可以实现分别可调。比如,可通过调整第一尺寸实现对第一频段的调整,通过调整第二尺寸实现对第二频段的调整;再比如,采用耦合馈电方式时,可通过调整第一辐射贴片和第一馈电线之间的耦合程度实现对第一频段的调整,可通过调整第二辐射贴片和第二馈电线之间的耦合程度实现对第二频段的调整。因此,该集成电路的设计灵活性更高,两个频段的可调谐程度较高,可以满足不同的使用需求。
在一种可能的设计中,第一辐射贴片具有对应第一频段信号的第一尺寸,第二辐射贴片具有对应第二频段信号的第二尺寸。
采用上述方案,可通过调整第一尺寸实现对第一频段的调整,通过调整第二尺寸实现对第二频段的调整。
在一种可能的设计中,射频处理芯片中设有对应第一频段信号的第一射频线路以及对应第二频段信号的第二射频线路,第一馈电线与第一射频线路连接,第二馈电线与第二射频线路连接。
具体地,第一辐射贴片可通过第一馈电线与第一射频线路连接,实现将接收到的第一频段信号传输至第一射频线路进行处理,或者实现将第一射频线路输出的第一频段信号通过第一辐射贴片发送;第二辐射贴片可通过第二馈电线与第二射频线路连接,实现将接收到的第二频段信号传输至第二射频线路进行处理,或者实现将第二射频线路输出的第二频段信号通过第二辐射贴片发送。
在一种可能的设计中,承载结构包括第一承载结构和第二承载结构,第一承载结构用于承载第一辐射贴片,第二承载结构用于承载第二辐射贴片。
此外,该集成电路中的承载结构中还可包括接地层,该接地层上设置有开口,第一馈电线和第二馈电线穿过该开口分别向第一辐射贴片和第二辐射贴片馈电。
进一步地,第一辐射贴片可处于第二辐射贴片和该接地层之间。采用上述方案,接地层可以作为第一辐射贴片的参考地,而第一辐射贴片可以作为第二辐射贴片的参考地。
此外,当第一辐射贴片处于第二辐射贴片和该接地层之间时,第一辐射贴片上可设有开窗,第二馈电线穿过第一辐射贴片上的开窗向第二辐射贴片馈电。
为了进一步提高第一频段和第二频段之间的隔离度,第一方面提供的集成电路中还可包括多个金属柱,多个金属柱中的每个金属柱的一端与接地层相连,另一端与第一辐射贴片相连,多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片形成包围圈,第二馈电线穿过该包围圈。
其中,多个金属柱形成的包围圈可以理解为多个金属柱在空间中的投影所形成的包围圈。多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片形成包围圈,一种可能的实现方式是:多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片的中心(或中垂线)形成包围圈。第一馈电线可位于上述多个金属柱形成的包围圈之外。
此外,本申请实施例中对多个金属柱形成的包围圈的形状不做具体限定。例如,该包 围圈可以是正方形、长方形、圆形等。
采用上述方案,多个金属柱形成的包围圈可以视为第一辐射贴片的电位零点区域,将第二馈电线设置在多个金属柱形成的包围圈内,即将第二馈电线设置在第一辐射贴片的电位零点区域。因而,采用上述方案可以将第二辐射贴片的馈电路径与第一辐射贴片的馈电路径隔离,从而提高第一频段信号与第二频段信号之间的隔离度。
此外,当第二馈电线穿过第一辐射贴片上的开窗为第二辐射贴片馈电时,第二馈电线在经过第一辐射贴片的开窗时,第二频段信号也会对第一频段信号造成干扰;通过设置多个金属柱,第一辐射贴片的开窗处于第一辐射贴片的电位零点区域,该开窗处不再辐射第一频段信号,因而采用上述方案可以减小第一频段信号和第二频段信号间的干扰。
在一种可能的设计中,第一馈电线可以包括第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线,第二馈电线可以包括第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线。
相应地,第一辐射贴片上包含分别与第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线对应的两个馈电点,第二辐射贴片上包含分别与第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线对应的两个馈电点。
具体地,对于第一辐射贴片上的两个馈电点的位置以及第二辐射贴片上的两个馈电的位置,可以设定如下:第一辐射贴片上的两个馈电点的极化方向相差90°,第二辐射贴片上的两个馈电点的极化方向相差90°,第一辐射贴片上的任一馈电点与第二辐射贴片上的两个馈电点的极化方向之差分别为90°和180°。
采用上述方案,通过该集成电路可在第一频段产生(水平极化方向和垂直极化方向的)双极化辐射,且在第二频段也产生(水平极化方向和垂直极化方向的)双极化辐射。也就是说,采用上述方案可以使得该集成电路实现双极化。由于双极化天线具有同频段的双通道通信的特点,因而通过双极化天线可以实现双工操作,从而提高通信容量、提高系统灵敏度、增强系统的抗多径效应。
此外,为了进一步提高第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线中传输的第一频段信号之间的隔离度,还可以在第一辐射贴片上设置第一开槽,第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线分别位于第一开槽的两侧。
第一开槽可以在一定程度上隔离第一垂直馈电线中传输的第一频段信号和第一水平馈电线中传输的第一频段信号,从而达到提高两个极化方向上的第一频段信号之间的隔离度的效果。
同样地,为了进一步提高第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线中传输的第二频段信号之间的隔离度,还可以在第二辐射贴片上设置第二开槽,第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线分别位于第二开槽的两侧。
第二开槽可以在一定程度上隔离第二垂直馈电线中传输的第二频段信号和第二水平馈电线中传输的第二频段信号,从而达到提高两个极化方向上的第二频段信号之间的隔离度的效果。
需要说明的是,本申请实施中对第一开槽和第二开槽的形状和尺寸不做具体限定,只要第一开槽可用于隔离第一辐射贴片上的两个馈电点即可,第二开槽可用于隔离第二辐射贴片上的两个馈电点即可。示例性地,第一开槽和第二开槽可均为T型开槽。
在一种可能的设计中,第一辐射贴片和第二辐射贴片相互平行,且第一辐射贴片与第二辐射贴片中心对正。
其中,第一辐射贴片和第二辐射贴片的中心对正可以理解为:第一辐射贴片的中心与 第二辐射贴片的中心的连线与第一辐射贴片近似垂直。当第一辐射贴片和第二辐射贴片平行且中心对正时,距离该集成电路一定距离处的辐射场的相对场强随方向变化的图形是对称的,即该集成电路的方向图是对称的,因而该集成电路可以获得较好的性能。
在一种可能的设计中,第一辐射贴片分为第一部分和第二部分,第一辐射贴片的第一部分和第一辐射贴片的第二部分通过可调谐电容或开关单元连接。
采用上述方案,通过调节可调谐电容的电容值或控制开关单元的通断,来调节第一频段的频率范围。
同样地,第二辐射贴片也分为第一部分和第二部分,第二辐射贴片的第一部分和第二辐射贴片的第二部分通过可调谐电容或开关单元连接。
此外,本申请实施例中对承载结构的具体结构和材料等均不做限定。例如,承载结构可以包括:层叠的介质层;或者,交替层叠的介质层和金属层;或者,交替层叠的介质层和金属球结构;或者,交替层叠的介质层和金属柱结构;或者,交替层叠的塑料球结构和金属层。
与承载结构仅由介质层叠置形成的方案相比,采用两种材质(例如金属与介质、金属与塑料)交替叠置形成承载结构,虽然在封装工艺上复杂一些,但是可以为第一方面提供的集成电路带来较好的电学性能。
其中,金属球结构中可以包括多个金属球;金属柱结构中可以包括多个金属柱;塑料球结构中可以包括多个塑料球。
其中,介质层的材料包括但不限于有机树脂、聚四氟乙烯、含有玻纤布的聚四氟乙烯复合材料;金属层的材料包括但不限于铜和锡;金属柱结构的材料包括但不限于铜和锡;金属球结构的材料包括但不限于铜和锡。
第二方面,本申请实施例提供一种终端设备,该终端设备包括第一方面或其任一种可能的设计中提供的集成电路。
在一种可能的设计中,第二方面提供的终端设备中还可以包括:印刷电路板PCB,集成电路中的承载结构通过球栅阵列BGA与该PCB连接。
具体地,该终端设备包括但不限于智能手机、智能手表、平板电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、个人计算机、手持式计算机、个人数字助理。

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供一种集成电路和终端设备,用以解决现有的双频天线存在的低频频段的范围较小、难以满足使用需求的问题。
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。需要说明的是,本申请中所涉及的多个,是指两个或两个以上。另外,需要理解的是,在本申请的描述中,“第一”、“第二”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
参见图2,为本申请实施例提供的一种集成电路。该集成电路可视为应用于终端设备中的封装天线集成电路(即AIP),该集成电路可作为天线阵列中的一个阵元,也可以作为独立的封装天线使用。
其中,该终端设备所采用的制式包括但不限于码分多址接入(code division multiple access,CDMA)、带宽码分多址接入(wide-band code division multiple access,WCDMA)、时分同步码分多址(time division-synchronous code division multiple access,TD-SCDMA)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)、第五代(5th generation,5G)制式。
该集成电路200包括承载结构201、第一辐射贴片202、第二辐射贴片203以及射频处理芯片204。其中,第一辐射贴片202、第二幅射贴片203和射频处理芯片204分别被放置于承载结构201的不同层上。承载结构201中设置有第一馈电线205以及第二馈电线206,射频处理芯片204通过第一馈电线205向第一辐射贴片202馈电,射频处理芯片204通过第二馈电线206向第二辐射贴片203馈电。具体地,在集成电路200中,承载结构201可以包括第一承载结构和第二承载结构,第一承载结构用于承载第一辐射贴片202,第二承载结构用于承载第二辐射贴片203。
集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203置于承载结构201的不同层上,可分别用于接收/发送不同频段(以下称为第一频段和第二频段)的信号,因而该集成电路200作为封装天线使用可实现双频工作。
其中,第一频段和第二频段均可以为5G制式中的毫米波波段。
可选地,在集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202具有对应第一频段信号的第一尺寸,第二辐射贴片203具有对应第二频段信号的第二尺寸。也就是说,第一辐射帖片202可用于接收/发送第一频段的信号,第二辐射贴片203可用于接收/发送第二频段的信号。因而, 集成电路200可以工作在第一频段和第二频段这两个频段,实现双频工作。
此外,由于第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203分别通过不同的馈电线(即第一馈电线205和第二馈电线206)馈电,因而第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203的耦合度较小。实际应用中,可通过调整第一尺寸实现对第一频段的调整,也可以通过调整第二尺寸实现对第二频段的调整,即第一频段和第二频段分别可调,因而集成电路200的设计灵活性较高。在集成电路200中,为了减小两个辐射贴片之间的干扰,通常,位于上层的辐射贴片对应的频段较高,位于下层的辐射贴片对应的频段较低。即,针对图2的示例,第一频段为低频频段,第二频段为高频频段。示例性地,第一频段可以对应28GHz频段,第二频段可以对应39GHz频段。
具体地,集成电路200在实现双频工作时,射频处理芯片204中可设有对应第一频段信号的第一射频线路以及对应第二频段信号的第二射频线路,第一馈电线205与第一射频线路连接,第二馈电线206与第二射频线路连接。
第一辐射贴片202在接收/发送第一频段的信号时,可通过第一馈电线205与射频处理芯片204的第一射频线路连接,从而将接收到的第一频段的信号传输至射频处理芯片204进行处理,或者将射频处理芯片204输出的第一频段的信号通过第一辐射贴片202发送出去;第二辐射贴片203在接收/发送第二频段的信号时,可通过第二馈电线206与射频处理芯片204的第二射频线路连接,从而将接收到的第二频段的信号传输至射频处理芯片204进行处理,或者将射频处理芯片204输出的第二频段的信号通过第二辐射贴片203发送出去。
其中,射频处理芯片204对第一频段信号和第二频段信号的处理过程类似,下面以第一频段信号的处理过程为例举例说明射频处理芯片204的处理过程。
对于第一频段信号的发送过程,射频处理芯片204在接收到上级芯片(例如中频芯片)传输的中频信号后,通过第一射频线路中的混频器对中频信号进行混频操作;然后通过移相器对混频后的信号进行移相操作,以实现波束赋形;再通过放大器对移相器输出的信号进行放大后,将放大器的输出信号作为最终输出的第一频段的射频信号,通过第一馈电线205将这一射频信号传输至第一辐射贴片202并发送出去。
对于第一频段信号的接收过程,第一辐射贴片202在接收到第一频段信号这一射频信号后,可通过第一馈电线205将射频信号传输至射频处理芯片204中的第一射频线路。第一射频线路中可包含放大器、移相器、混频器。通过放大器对射频信号进行放大;然后通过移相器对放大后的信号进行移相操作;再通过混频器对移相器输出的信号进行混频后,第一射频线路将混频器的输出信号作为最终输出的中频信号,并传输至下级芯片(例如中频芯片)。当然,以上处理过程仅为示例。具体实现时,射频处理芯片204的处理过程还可以包括滤波、模数变换、数模变换等操作。这些操作可参照现有技术中的描述,本申请实施例中不再赘述。
具体实现时,第一馈电线205和第二馈电线206可分别通过焊锡凸块(solder bump)与射频处理芯片204连接,例如,第一馈电线205可通过焊锡凸块与对应第一频段信号的第一射频线路连接,第二馈电线206可通过焊锡凸块与对应第二频段信号的第二射频线路连接。示例性地,第一馈电线205和第二馈电线206与射频处理芯片204连接的示意图可以如图3所示。
其中,第一馈电线205与焊锡凸块的连接处可以称为第一馈电点或第一馈点,第一辐 射贴片202从第一馈电点馈入信号,第二馈电线206与焊锡凸块的连接处可以称为第二馈电点或第二馈点,第二辐射贴片203从第二馈电点馈入信号。
需要说明的是,在图2所示的集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202置于第二辐射贴片203的下方。实际实现时,第一辐射贴片202也可以置于第二辐射贴片203的上方,本申请实施例对第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203的叠置顺序不做具体限定。此外,在图2所示的集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202上可设有开窗,第二馈电线206穿过第一辐射贴片202上的开窗为第二辐射贴片203馈电;实际实现时,第一辐射贴片202上也可不设开窗,第二馈电线206可绕过第一辐射贴片202为第二辐射贴片203馈电,如图4所示。为了示意简便,本申请实施例中均以第二馈电线206穿过第一辐射贴片202上的开窗为第二辐射贴片203馈电这一方式进行示意,对图4所示的馈电方式不再做具体说明。
在图2所示的集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202通过第一馈电线205馈电,第二辐射贴片203通过第二馈电线206馈电。具体地,第一馈电线205可以通过直接馈电的方式为第一辐射贴片202馈电,也可以通过耦合馈电的方式为第一辐射贴片202馈电;采用直接馈电方式时,第一馈电线205直接与第一辐射贴片202连接,如图2所示;采用耦合馈电方式时,第一馈电线205与第一辐射贴片202耦合;同样地,第二馈电线206可以通过直接馈电的方式为第二辐射贴片203馈电,也可以通过耦合馈电的方式为第二辐射贴片203馈电,采用直接馈电方式时,第二馈电线206直接与第二辐射贴片203连接,如图2所示;采用耦合馈电方式时,第二馈电线206与第二辐射贴片203耦合。
需要说明的是,在图2中,集成电路200中的第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203均以直接馈电的方式示意。实际实现时,第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203均可采用两种馈电方式中的任一种进行馈电。示例性地,第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203均采用耦合馈电方式时,集成电路200的结构示意图可以如图5所示。
在图5中,第一馈电线205不直接与第一辐射贴片202连接,第一馈电线205中远离第一馈电点的一端延伸出一个平台,该平台与第一辐射贴片202可形成谐振,从而实现通过第一馈电线205为第一辐射贴片202馈电;同样地,第二馈电线206不直接与第二辐射贴片203连接,第二馈电线206中远离第二馈电点的一端延伸出一个平台,该平台与第二辐射贴片203可形成谐振,从而实现通过第二馈电线206为第二辐射贴片203馈电。
采用耦合馈电方式时,不仅可以通过调整第一辐射贴片202的第一尺寸来改变第一辐射贴片202和第一馈电线205的耦合程度,进而调整第一频段的频率范围,还可以通过调整第一馈电线205的尺寸和形状等参数(例如调整图5中第一馈电线205中远离第一馈电点一端延伸出的平台的尺寸和形状)来调整第一辐射贴片202和第一馈电线205的耦合程度,进而调整第一频段的频率范围。同样地,采用耦合馈电方式时,可以通过调整第二辐射贴片203的第二尺寸来调整第二频段的频率范围,也可以通过调整第二馈电线206的尺寸和形状等参数(例如调整图5中第二馈电线206中远离第二馈电点一端延伸出的平台的尺寸和形状)来调整第二频段的频率范围。
综合考虑上述两种馈电方式,直接馈电设计简单,实现起来也较为方便;采用耦合馈电方式,可以减少集成电路200中的打孔;此外,采用耦合馈电方式,频段的可调更大,可以提高集成电路200的电学性能。
此外,在集成电路200中,对承载结构201的具体结构和材料等均不做限定。只要承载结构201可以起到承载作用即可。
下面给出本申请实施例中的承载结构的几种具体示例:
示例性地,承载结构201可以由层叠的介质层组成。其中,介质层的材料包括但不限于有机树脂、聚四氟乙烯、含有玻纤布的聚四氟乙烯复合材料。
示例性地,承载结构201还可以由交替层叠的介质层和金属层组成。其中,介质层的材料包括但不限于有机树脂、聚四氟乙烯、含有玻纤布的聚四氟乙烯复合材料;金属层的材料包括但不限于铜、锡等。
示例性地,承载结构201还可以由交替层叠的介质层和金属球结构组成。其中,介质层的材料包括但不限于有机树脂、聚四氟乙烯、含有玻纤布的聚四氟乙烯复合材料;金属球结构的材料包括但不限于铜、锡等。在该示例中,金属球结构可以视为叠置在介质层上的多个金属球,其中,夹在两层介质层之间的多个金属球之间存在空隙。也就是说,在该示例中,承载结构201中存在空隙。
示例性地,承载结构201还可以由交替层叠的介质层和金属柱结构组成。其中,介质层的材料包括但不限于有机树脂、聚四氟乙烯、含有玻纤布的聚四氟乙烯复合材料;金属柱结构的材料包括但不限于铜、锡等。在该示例中,金属柱结构可以视为叠置在介质层上的多个金属柱,其中,夹在两层介质层之间的多个金属柱之间存在空隙。也就是说,在该示例中,承载结构201中存在空隙。
示例性地,承载结构201也可以由交替层叠的塑料球结构和金属层组成。其中,金属层的材料包括但不限于铜、锡等。在该示例中,塑料球结构可以视为叠置在金属层上的多个塑料球,其中,夹在两层金属层之间的多个塑料球之间存在空隙。也就是说,在该示例中,承载结构201中存在空隙。
与承载结构201仅由介质层叠置形成的方案相比,采用两种材质(例如金属与介质、金属与塑料)交替叠置形成承载结构201,虽然在封装工艺上复杂一些,但是可以为集成电路200带来较好的电学性能。
在集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202可以与第二辐射贴片203相互平行,且第一辐射贴片202与第二辐射贴片203中心对正。
在本申请实施例中,第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203的中心对正,即第一辐射贴片202的中心与第二辐射贴片203的中心的连线与第一辐射贴片202近似垂直。当第一辐射贴片202与第二辐射贴片203平行,且第一辐射贴片202与第二辐射贴片203中心对正时,集成电路200的结构示意图可以如图6所示。
当第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203平行且中心对正时,距离集成电路200一定距离处的辐射场的相对场强随方向变化的图形是对称的,即该集成电路200的方向图是对称的,因而该集成电路200可以获得较好的性能。
如前所述,承载结构201可包含用于承载第一辐射贴片201的第一承载结构以及用于承载第二辐射贴片203的第二承载结构。此外,承载结构201中还可包含接地层,该接地层上设置有开口,第一馈电线205和第二馈电线206穿过该开口分别为第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203馈电。其中,接地层可以视为集成电路200的参考地。其中,第一辐射贴片202可以处于第二辐射贴片203和接地层之间。基于这一实现方式,集成电路200的结构示意图可以如图7所示。
在上述实现方式中,接地层可以作为第一辐射贴片202的参考地,而第一辐射贴片202可以作为第二辐射贴片203的参考地。
为了进一步提高第一频段和第二频段之间的隔离度,本申请实施例中的集成电路200还可以包括多个金属柱,多个金属柱中的每个金属柱的一端与接地层相连,另一端与第一辐射贴片202相连,多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片202形成包围圈,第二馈电线206穿过该包围圈。
其中,多个金属柱中的每个金属柱的一端与接地层相连、另一端与第一辐射贴片202相连,即每个金属柱均置于第一辐射贴片202和接地层之间的空间中。那么,多个金属柱形成的包围圈可以理解为多个金属柱在空间中的投影所形成的包围圈。也就是说,多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片202形成包围圈并不代表真实的包含关系(即并不代表第一辐射贴片202置于多个金属柱中间),而是表示空间投影上的包含关系(即表示第一辐射贴片202置于多个金属柱在空间中的投影所形成的包围圈中)。
在一种可能的实现方式中,多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片202形成的包围圈可以理解为多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片202的中心(或中垂线)形成的包围圈。也就是说,第一辐射贴片202可全部或部分置于多个金属柱在空间中的投影所形成的包围圈中。在本申请可选的实施例中,所述多个金属柱的投影可以穿过所述第一辐射贴片202,多个金属柱围绕第一辐射贴片202形成包围圈可以被理解为所述多个金属柱围绕所述第一辐射贴片202的一部分形成包围圈。
可选地,第一馈电线205位于上述多个金属柱形成的包围圈之外。
在上述实现方式中,多个金属柱主要有如下三种作用:
1、多个金属柱形成的包围圈可以视为第一辐射贴片202的电位零点区域,将第二馈电线206设置在多个金属柱形成的包围圈内,即将第二馈电线206设置在第一辐射贴片202的电位零点区域。因而,采用上述实现方式可以将第二辐射贴片203的馈电路径与第一辐射贴片202的馈电路径隔离,从而提高第一频段信号与第二频段信号之间的隔离度。
2、当第二馈电线206穿过第一辐射贴片202上的开窗为第二辐射贴片203馈电时,第二馈电线206在经过第一辐射贴片202的开窗时,第二频段信号也会对第一频段信号造成干扰;通过设置多个金属柱,第一辐射贴片202的开窗处于第一辐射贴片202的电位零点区域,该开窗处不再辐射第一频段信号,因而采用上述方案可以减小第一频段信号和第二频段信号间的干扰。
3、如前所述,本申请实施例中,接地层可以作为第一辐射贴片202的参考地,而第一辐射贴片202可以作为第二辐射贴片203的参考地。通过调整接地层的形状尺寸等参数可以改变第一频段信号的波束宽度。而在设置多个金属柱后,通过调整多个金属柱所形成的包围圈的形状和周长等参数,可以改变第二频段信号的波束宽度。
当集成电路200中包含多个第一金属柱时,集成电路200的俯视图可以如图8所示。图8中,多个金属柱形成方形包围圈,第二馈电线206位于该方形包围圈内。
需要说明的是,图8中为了示意第一辐射贴片202、第二辐射贴片203、第一馈电线205以及第二馈电线206之间的位置关系,采用了透视方式进行示意。实际实现时,集成电路200的俯视图中可能仅能看到第二辐射贴片203以及承载结构201。此外,同样需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中给出的集成电路200的透视图中,为了避免混淆,均未示出射频处理芯片204。
同样需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对多个金属柱形成的包围圈的形状不做具体限定。例如,该包围圈可以是正方形、长方形、圆形等。图8中仅以方形作为一个具体示例, 实际实现时,该包围圈的形状不限于方形。
通过以上描述可以知道,采用集成电路200可以实现双频通信,且两个频段之间的隔离度较高。进一步地,为了提高系统容量,还可以将集成电路200设计成双极化天线。即,第一辐射贴片202可同时接收/发送两个极化方向上的第一频段信号,第二辐射贴片203也可以同时接收/发送两个极化方向上的第二频段信号。
具体实现时,第一馈电线205可以包括第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线,以使得集成电路200在第一频段产生双极化辐射;第二馈电线206可以包括第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线,以使得集成电路200在第二频段产生双极化辐射。也就是说,第一馈电线205可以在第一频段产生垂直极化辐射与水平极化辐射,第二馈电线206也可以在第二频段产生垂直极化辐射和水平极化辐射。
在通过上述方式实现双极化时,第一辐射贴片202上可包含分别与第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线对应的两个馈电点,第二辐射贴片203上也可包含分别与第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线对应的两个馈电点。其中,对应一个频段两个不同极化方向上的馈电点可以满足圆极化特点,即在以第一辐射贴片202为中心(或者以第二辐射贴片203为中心)的、极化方向从0~360°变化的电磁场中,第一辐射贴片202上的两个馈电点的极化方向相差90°,第二辐射贴片203上的两个馈电点的极化方向相差90°,且第一辐射贴片202上的任一馈电点与第二辐射贴片203上的两个馈电点的极化方向之差分别为90°和180°。
示例性地,以图8所示的集成电路200为例,若第一馈电线205包括第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线、第二馈电线206包括第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线,则该集成电路200的俯视图可以如图9所示。图9中,为了示意第一辐射贴片202上的两个馈电点和第二辐射贴片203上的两个馈电点的位置,以建立坐标系的方式进行示意:若以第二辐射贴片203的中心(或第一辐射贴片202的中心)为原点,以沿着第一辐射贴片202的水平方向为横轴、以沿着第二辐射贴片203的垂直方向为纵轴建立该俯视图所在平面的坐标系,则第一水平馈电线、第一垂直馈电线、第二水平馈电线和第二垂直馈电线分别位于该坐标系的-x轴、-y轴、+x轴和+y轴上。
从图9可以看出,若第二馈电线206包括第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线,且集成电路200中还包含多个金属柱,则第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线可以均位于多个金属柱形成的包围圈内。这样的话,第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线均位于第一辐射贴片202的电位零点区域,不仅可以分别提高两个极化方向上的第二频段信号与第一频段信号之间的隔离度,还可以在一定程度上提高水平极化方向上的第二频段信号和垂直极化方向上的第二频段信号之间的隔离度。
与第一馈电线205、第二馈电线206与射频处理芯片204的连接方式类似,第一馈电线205包括第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线、第二馈电线206包括第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线时,第一垂直馈电线、第一水平馈电线、第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线可分别通过四个焊锡凸块(solder bump)与射频处理芯片204的内部电路(例如第一射频线路和第二射频线路)连接。其中,第一垂直馈电线与焊锡凸块的连接处可以称为第一垂直馈电点或第一垂直馈点,第一水平馈电线与焊锡凸块的连接处可以称为第一水平馈电点或第一水平馈点,第二垂直馈电线与焊锡凸块的连接处可以称为第二垂直馈电点或第二垂 直馈点,第二水平馈电线与焊锡凸块的连接处可以称为第二水平馈电点或第二水平馈点。
由于双极化天线具有同频段的双通道通信的特点,因而通过双极化天线可以实现双工操作,从而提高通信容量、提高系统灵敏度、增强系统的抗多径效应。
此外,为了进一步提高第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线中传输的第一频段信号之间的隔离度,还可以在第一辐射贴片202上设置第一开槽,第一垂直馈电线和第一水平馈电线分别位于第一开槽的两侧。
本申请实施例中,对第一开槽的形状和尺寸均不做具体限定,只要第一开槽可用于隔离第一辐射贴片上的两个馈电点即可。示例性地,第一开槽可以为T型开槽。第一开槽的垂直部分可以与第一垂直极化馈电点和所述第一水平极化馈电点的连线垂直。
第一开槽可以在一定程度上隔离第一垂直馈电线中传输的第一频段信号和第一水平馈电线中传输的第一频段信号,从而达到提高两个极化方向上的第一频段信号之间的隔离度的效果。因而,为了达到不同程度的隔离效果,第一开槽的宽度长度等均可以进行相应调节。
在第一辐射贴片202上设置的T型第一开槽后,第一辐射贴片202的结构可以如图10所示。以图9所示的集成电路200为例,在第一辐射贴片202上设置第一T型开槽后,图9中的集成电路200可以如图11所示。
同样地,为了进一步提高两个极化方向上的第二频段信号之间的隔离度,可以在第二辐射贴片上设置第二开槽,第二垂直馈电线和第二水平馈电线分别位于第二开槽的两侧。第二开槽的实现方式可以参考第一开槽的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
综上,在本申请实施例提供的集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203置于承载结构201的不同层上,可分别用于接收/发送不同频段(即第一频段和第二频段)的信号,因而该集成电路200可实现双频工作。
此外,集成电路200中,第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203分别通过不同的馈电线(即第一馈电线205和第二馈电线206)馈电,因而第一辐射贴片202和第二辐射贴片203的耦合度较小,第一辐射贴片202对应的第一频段的频率范围和第二辐射贴片203对应的第二频段的频率范围可以实现分别可调。比如,可通过调整第一尺寸实现对第一频段的调整,通过调整第二尺寸实现对第二频段的调整;再比如,采用耦合馈电方式时,可通过调整第一辐射贴片202和第一馈电线205之间的耦合程度实现对第一频段的调整,可通过调整第二辐射贴片203和第二馈电线206之间的耦合程度实现对第二频段的调整。因此,集成电路200的设计灵活性更高,两个频段的可调谐程度较高,可以满足不同的使用需求。
此外,本申请实施例中,还可以通过在第二辐射贴片203上设置可调谐电容或开关来对第二频段进行调谐(即调节第二频段的频率范围):将第二辐射贴片203分割为两个部分(以下称为第一部分和第二部分),第一部分通过可调谐电容或开关与第二部分连接,通过调整可调谐电容的容值或开关的通断状态可以对第二频段进行调谐。
由于采用本申请实施例提供的集成电路200,第一频段和第二频段的耦合度较小,因而在通过上述方式对第二频段进行调谐时,对第一频段的影响较小。
示例性,如图12所示,第二辐射贴片203分割为两个部分,第一部分通过四个可调谐电容与第二部分连接,通过调整这四个可调谐电容的电容值可以对第二频段进行调谐。
同样地,可通过在第一辐射贴片202上设置可调谐电容或开关来对第一频段进行调谐,具体方式与上述对第二频段进行调谐的方式类似,此处不再赘述。
此外,在图2所示的集成电路200中还可以被固定于印刷电路板(printed circuit board,PCB)上,其中,承载结构201通过球栅阵列(ball grid array,BGA)与PCB连接。
基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例还提供一种装载有封装天线集成电路的电子装置。参见图13,该封电子装置包括:上层辐射贴片1、下层辐射贴片2、下层辐射贴片开窗3、金属化连接孔4、焊锡凸块(solder bump)5、焊球(solder ball)(也可以称为BGA球)6、参考地7、低频垂直极化馈电点8、低频水平极化馈电点9、高频水平极化馈电点10、高频垂直极化馈电点11、射频处理芯片13以及印制电路板(printed circuit board,PCB)14。
其中,上层辐射贴片1具有对应高频频段(例如39GHz频段)的第一尺寸,下层辐射贴片2具有对应低频频段(例如28GHz频段)的第二尺寸。上层辐射贴片1通过穿过下层辐射贴片开窗3的高频水平极化馈电点10和高频垂直极化馈电点11直接馈电,下层辐射贴片2通过低频垂直极化馈电点8和低频水平极化馈电点9直接馈电。金属化连接孔4的一端与参考地连接,另一端与下层辐射贴片2连接,且多个金属化连接孔4围绕上层辐射贴片1的中心形成方形包围圈,高频水平极化馈电点10和高频垂直极化馈电点11均位于该包围圈内。低频垂直极化馈电点8、低频水平极化馈电点9、高频水平极化馈电点10和高频垂直极化馈电点11分别通过四个焊锡凸块5与射频处理芯片13连接,参考地7通过焊球6与PCB板连接。
图13所示的电子装置还包括设置在下层辐射贴片2上的T型开槽12,低频垂直极化馈电点8和低频水平极化馈电点9分别位于T型开槽12的两侧,T型开槽12可用于提高低频垂直极化馈电点8中传输的低频频段和低频水平极化馈电点9中传输的低频频段信号之间的隔离度。
需要说明的是,图13所示的电子装置中对于承载上层辐射贴片1和下层辐射贴片2的承载结构均不做具体限定,在图13中未示出该承载结构。

需要说明的是,图13所示的电子装置中除BGA球和PCB之外的部分可视为上述集成电路200的一个具体示例,图13所示的电子装置中未详尽描述的实现方式及其技术效果可参见集成电路200中的相关描述。
下面给出图13所示的电子装置的一些仿真结果。
参见图14,为图13所示的电子装置的回波损耗的仿真结果,其中横坐标代表频率,单位为GHz;纵坐标代表回波损耗值,单位为dB。从图14可以看出,图13所示的电子装置在高频频段(39GHz频段)的最低频率点(m3)和最高频率点(m4)的回波损耗均在-10dB左右;在低频频段(28GHz频段)的最低频率点(m1)和最高频率点(m2)的回波损耗也在-10dB左右,因而无论在高频频段还是低频频段,信号损失均较低,该电子装置很好地覆盖了高频频段和低频频段这两个频段。
参见图15,为图13所示的电子装置的高频频段和低频频段之间的隔离度的仿真结果,其中横坐标代表频率,单位为GHz;纵坐标代表隔离度,单位为dB。其中,包含m1和m2的曲线代表高频垂直极化方向与低频水平极化方向之间的隔离度,包含m3和m4的曲线代表高频水平极化方向和低频垂直极化方向的隔离度。从图15中的两条曲线可以看出,高频信号和低频信号之间的隔离度均优于-20dB,两个频段间的隔离度较高,两个频段间的相互影响较小。参见图16,为图13所示的电子装置中两个极化方向上的信号的隔离度的仿真结果,其中横坐标代表频率,单位为GHz;纵坐标代表隔离度,单位为dB。其中,低频频段的最低频率点为m1,低频频段的最高频率点为m2;高频频段的最低频率点为m3,高频频段的最高频率点为m4。从图16可以看出,在低频频段,两个极化方向上的低频信号的隔离度均优于-20dB;在高频频段,两个极化方向上的高频信号的隔离度较高均优于-40dB。无论在高频频段还是在低频频段,两个极化方向上的信号的隔离度均较高。
参见图17,为图13所示的电子装置的高频增益和低频增益的仿真结果,其中横坐标代表频率,单位为GHz;纵坐标代表增益,单位为dB。从图17可以看出,两个极化方向上的高频增益较为理想,且方向图未发生明显偏移;两个极化方向上的低频增益也较为理想,方向图也未发生明显偏移。因此,采用图13所示的电子装置可以获得较为理想的低频增益和高频增益。
