Definitions

  • This application relates to the field of antenna technologies, and in particular, to an antenna, an antenna module, and an electronic device.
  • Embodiments of this application provide an antenna and an electronic device.
  • a tapered slot antenna and a folded dipole are integrated into the antenna to share one feed, and the folded dipole forms a resonant tank of the tapered slot antenna, to miniaturize the antenna.
  • an antenna provided in an implementation of this application includes a tapered slot antenna, a folded dipole, and a feeding structure.
  • the tapered slot antenna includes a first metal structure and a second metal structure, a tapered slot is formed between the first metal structure and the second metal structure, an extension direction of the tapered slot is a first direction, and two ends of the tapered slot are a narrow-gap end and a wide-gap end.
  • An extension direction of the folded dipole is a second direction, the second direction intersects with the first direction, the folded dipole includes a main dipole and a parasitic dipole that are disposed opposite to each other, an area between the main dipole and the parasitic dipole forms internal space of the folded dipole, the main dipole is located between the parasitic dipole and the narrow-gap end, the main dipole includes a first stub and a second stub that are alternately arranged in the second direction, the first stub is electrically connected to the first metal structure, and the second stub is electrically connected to the second metal structure, to enable the internal space of the folded dipole to form a resonant tank of the tapered slot antenna.
  • That an extension direction of the folded dipole is a second direction may be understood as that an extension direction of a main radiation part of the folded dipole is the second direction. If the main dipole and the parasitic dipole in the folded dipole each are in a straight strip shape, an extension direction of the main dipole and an extension direction of the parasitic dipole are the second direction, and the two extension directions may be considered as parallel or nearly parallel.
  • the main dipole and the parasitic dipole in the folded dipole may alternatively be configured to be wound at two ends, and a snake-shaped line is disposed between the main dipole and the parasitic dipole. A size may be reduced, and although a winding part is not in the second direction, and an extension direction of the folded dipole as a whole may be considered as the second direction.
  • the feeding structure is electrically connected between the first stub and the second stub, and feeds the folded dipole and the tapered slot antenna at the same time, to excite the tapered slot antenna that is a directional antenna and excite the folded dipole that is an omnidirectional antenna.
  • the folded dipole and the tapered slot antenna are integrated together to share one feed, and perform a dual-antenna function, so that the antenna can be miniaturized.
  • radiation performance of the folded dipole and the tapered slot antenna can be separately implemented, and the two antennas further have a complementary function.
  • the folded dipole is used as a resonant tank of the tapered slot antenna, helping to tune the tapered slot antenna.
  • an operating frequency of the tapered slot antenna is lower than an operating frequency of the folded dipole.
  • a range of the operating frequency of the folded dipole is 6 GHz to 7.125 GHz, and a range of the operating frequency of the tapered slot antenna is 5.1 GHz to 5.9 GHz.
  • the tapered slot antenna and the folded dipole in the antenna provided in this implementation have different operating frequency ranges, and radiate different signals. This improves an application scope of the antenna and highlights an advantage of a miniaturized antenna.
  • the tapered slot may have an axisymmetric structure.
  • the tapered slot is symmetrically distributed by using a central axis as a center.
  • the first metal structure and the second metal structure may also be symmetrically distributed on two sides of the central axis, and an extension direction of the symmetry axis may be understood as the first direction.
  • the tapered slot may alternatively have an asymmetric structure.
  • an extension direction from a central position of the narrow-gap end of the tapered slot to a central position of the wide-gap end of the tapered slot is the first direction.
  • the first direction and the second direction may be orthogonal.
  • an included angle between the first direction and the second direction may be an angle less than 90 degrees.
  • the antenna provided in this application is symmetrically distributed, and a center of symmetry of the antenna may be the central axis of the tapered slot. The antenna in such a symmetric architecture can match better bandwidth.
  • a gap between the first stub and the second stub is directly facing the narrow-gap end of the tapered slot may be understood as that an extension direction of a connection line between a middle position of the gap and a middle position of the narrow-gap end is the first direction.
  • a size of the gap and a size of the narrow-gap end in the second direction are widths, and the width of the gap may be greater than the width of the narrow-gap end.
  • a connection line between an inner wall of the gap and an inner wall of the narrow-gap end is in a smooth transition state, and may be open and extended in a horn shape. In this way, a size changes gradually from the narrow-gap end to the gap, and then to the internal space of the folded dipole. Such a design helps the folded dipole serve as the resonant tank to feed and tune the tapered slot antenna.
  • the first stub and the first metal structure jointly form a first spacing area having a first opening, and the first opening is located at an end that is of the first spacing area and that is away from the tapered slot.
  • the second stub and the second metal structure jointly form a second spacing area having a second opening, and the second opening is located at an end that is of the second spacing area and that is away from the tapered slot.
  • a size of the first spacing area is smaller than a size of the second spacing area, because a size in which the first stub extends in the first direction is greater than a size in which the second stub extends in the first direction. That is, an area of the first stub part is wide. The wide area is reserved for configuring the feeding structure.
  • the first stub includes a first connection part, the first connection part is connected to the first metal structure, the second stub includes a second connection part, the second connection part is connected to the second metal structure, and in the first direction, a size in which the first connection part extends is greater than a size in which the second connection part extends.

  • the microstrip affects a radiation size of the folded dipole and a radiation size of the tapered slot antenna, and occupies carrier board area. Feeding by using a manner in which the feeding cable is connected to the first connection part does not affect radiation performance of the folded dipole and the tapered slot antenna.
  • the first metal structure includes a first microstrip and a first comb structure
  • the first microstrip includes a first edge facing the tapered slot and a second edge away from the tapered slot
  • the first comb structure is connected to the second edge and extends from the second edge to a direction away from the first edge

  • the second direction is perpendicular to the central axis of the tapered slot.
  • the first metal structure of the tapered slot antenna in the antenna provided in this application is different from a large-area metal structure of a conventional tapered slot antenna.
  • the microstrip and the first comb structure are combined to form a discrete comb hollow-out architecture. This not only ensures the radiation performance of the tapered slot antenna, but also helps improve electromagnetic wave penetration of an antenna body (which refers to the tapered slot antenna). Therefore, the radiation performance of the folded dipole can also be ensured.
  • the second metal structure includes a second microstrip and a second comb structure
  • the second microstrip includes a third edge facing the tapered slot and a fourth edge away from the tapered slot
  • the second comb structure is connected to the fourth edge and extends from the fourth edge to a direction away from the third edge
  • an electrical length of the second comb structure is the quarter wavelength of the operating frequency of the tapered slot antenna.
  • the electrical length of the second comb structure may be understood as, in the second direction, a distance from an end that is of the second comb structure and that is away from the fourth edge to the position of the central axis of the tapered slot.
  • the second direction is perpendicular to the central axis of the tapered slot.
  • the first comb structure and the second comb structure are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the tapered slot. In this implementation, performance of the antenna is optimized by using symmetrical distribution of the first comb structure and the second comb structure.

  • the tapered slot antenna can be excited to operate in a high frequency bandwidth, the high frequency bandwidth includes a maximum operating frequency and a minimum operating frequency, an electrical length of the first comb structure adjacent to the narrow-gap end is a quarter wavelength of the maximum operating frequency of the tapered slot antenna, and an electrical length of the first comb structure adjacent to the wide-gap end is a quarter wavelength of the minimum operating frequency of the tapered slot antenna.
  • the first comb structure with the electrical length of the quarter wavelength has a radiation characteristic similar to that of a monopole. This can improve a gain of the tapered slot antenna.

  • a size of the first microstrip at the wide-gap end is smaller than the half wavelength, and a function of the tapered slot antenna cannot be implemented.
  • the first comb tooth and the second comb tooth are combined with the microstrip to form a basic architecture of the tapered slot antenna, a design in which the distance between the end part that is of the first comb tooth and that is away from the first microstrip and the end part that is of the second comb tooth and that is away from the second microstrip is the half wavelength of the operating frequency of the tapered slot antenna can meet a radiation requirement of the tapered slot antenna.

  • a maximum size of the antenna in the second direction is limited to a size in which the folded dipole extends in the second direction.
  • the tapered slot antenna is disposed within a size range limited by the folded dipole in the second direction. This helps miniaturize the antenna.

  • the tapered slot antenna can be excited to operate in a high frequency bandwidth, the high frequency bandwidth includes a high frequency band and a low frequency band, and when the tapered slot antenna operates in an operating condition of the low frequency band, the parasitic element is configured to enhance a radiated electromagnetic wave of the tapered slot antenna on the low frequency band, or when the tapered slot antenna operates in an operating condition of the high frequency band, the parasitic element configured to reflect a radiated electromagnetic wave of the tapered slot antenna on the high frequency band.
  • the tapered slot antenna provided in this application is a directional antenna having a broadband and a high gain characteristic, and enhances an antenna radiation capability on the high frequency band.
  • the tapered slot antenna may perform coverage on a 5 GHz frequency band, or may perform cascaded backhaul on a Sub-7 GHz frequency band (where the cascaded backhaul mainly means that data or video traffic from one device to another device is transmitted to a next-level gateway in a wireless manner).
  • the parasitic element extends in the second direction in a straight line shape, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
  • the parasitic element is in a symmetric structure by using the central axis of the tapered slot as a center.
  • a vertical projection of the parasitic element at the wide-gap end of the tapered slot antenna is located within a range of the opening end.

  • the high frequency bandwidth includes a maximum operating frequency and a minimum operating frequency
  • an electrical length of the parasitic element is smaller than or equal to a half wavelength of a radiated electromagnetic wave of the tapered slot antenna at the minimum operating frequency, and is greater than a half wavelength of a radiated electromagnetic wave of the tapered slot antenna at the maximum operating frequency.

  • this application is mainly designed based on a low frequency enhancement gain. Therefore, for a length and a spacing of the parasitic element, refer to an operating wavelength corresponding to the tapered slot antenna in a low frequency band range. It may be understood that, under a condition of keeping a same spacing progressive, when a quantity of parasitic elements is set to a plurality, a direction function may be enhanced.
  • the parasitic element In a high frequency band range, because the electrical length of the parasitic element is excessively long, the parasitic element serves as a reflection parasitic element, so that single-beam radiation becomes a multi-beam radiation in a reverse direction. Finally, such characteristic causes the entire tapered slot antenna to present different radiation effects on two sub-bands of a wide frequency band: a high frequency sub-band and a low frequency sub-band. This characteristic well matches a differentiated application requirement of a current Wi-Fi frequency band for different spectra.
