本申请实施例提供了一种天线设计方案,如图2A所示,在电子设备的主屏部分和副屏部分中分别设计主屏天线、副屏天线,例如主屏天线Ant1-1、副屏天线Ant1-2。其中,主屏天线和副屏天线可以为同频段天线,且电子设备处于折叠态时,主、副屏天线所处的位置会出现重叠,例如部分重叠或完全重叠。这里,重叠可以是指,电子设备处于折叠态时主屏天线在副屏部分这一平面上的投影和副屏天线重叠,或者,电子设备处于折叠态时副屏天线在主屏部分这一平面上的投影和主屏天线重叠。该重叠并不包括投影和天线因交叉(例如垂直)而出现的重叠,而主要是指主、副屏天线的辐射体因平行或在一条直线上而导致的重叠。该主屏天线和该副屏天线可以激励出两种高隔离度的天线模式,如后续内容中会引入的共模天线模式、差模天线模式。例如,主屏天线Ant1-1的极化方向为顶部边框的延伸方向,副屏天线Ant1-2的极化方向为垂直于顶部边框的延伸方向的方向,即主屏天线Ant1-1、副屏天线Ant1-2的极化方向完全正交或者近似正交。这样,该主屏天线和该副屏天线即便同频且重叠,也能获得良好的隔离度,而且辐射方向图互补,尤其利于具有折叠屏的电子设备的MIMO天线设计。而且,不必在物理位置上隔离多个同频段天线,例如主屏天线Ant1-1和副屏天线Ant1-2在物理位置上不必错开设计,也能获得高隔离度的两个或以上的同频天线,充分利用具有折叠屏的电子设备的天线设计空间。
如图2A-图2B所示,电子设备10中可设计有两对或两对以上这样的主屏天线和副屏天线,可覆盖多个频段,可形成多个不同频段的MIMO天线。例如,主屏天线Ant1-1和副屏天线Ant1-2可构成Wi-Fi MIMO天线,主屏天线Ant2-1和副屏天线Ant2-2可构成高频(如3.5GHz)MIMO天线,主屏天线Ant3-1和副屏天线Ant3-2可构成低频(如900MHz)MIMO天线。
本申请实施例提供的天线设计方案可应用于图1A-图1C示例性的具有折叠屏的手机、平板电脑等电子设备。
首先,介绍本申请实施例涉及的共模天线模式、差模天线模式。
1.共模(common mode,CM)线天线模式
如图3A所示,线天线101可包括两段辐射体:辐射体101-A和辐射体101-B,这两段辐射体在同一直线上并且向相反的方向延伸。在辐射体101-A和辐射体101-B的相互靠近的两个端(如端103和端105),可都连接到馈源的正极。馈入这两段辐射体的射频信号的相位差为0°。
如图3A所示,馈电处的电流同向,这种馈电可以称为共模馈电。线天线101上的电流反向分布。这里,电流反向分布是指激励出的主要电流的方向基本上是反向的,例如图3A所示,线天线101左半部分上的主要电流的方向是从右到左,线天线101右半部分上的主要电流的方向是从左到右。图3A所示天线所激励起的天线模式可以称为线天线CM模式,该天线可以称为CM线天线。线天线CM模式可以是两段辐射体分别工作在1/4波长模式产生的。
图3B简化示出了线天线101的辐射模式(radiation pattern),可以看出,线天线CM模式的辐射方向同于线天线101的延伸方向,即极化方向同于线天线101的延伸方向。极化是描述电磁波场强矢量空间指向的一个辐射特性,通常可以电场矢量的空间指向作为电磁波的极化方向,而且可以是指天线的最大辐射方向(主瓣方向)上的电场矢量的空间指向。实际应用中,线天线101的极化方向和线天线101的延伸方向可以不是完全相同的,可以存在些许偏差,例如30°以内的偏差。
2.差模(differential mode,DM)线天线模式
如图4A所示,线天线101的辐射体结构和图3A所示的线天线101的辐射体结构相同。不同的是,在辐射体101-A和辐射体101-B的相互靠近的两个端(如端103和端105),可分别连接到馈源的正极、负极。馈入这两段辐射体的射频信号的相位差为180°。
如图4A所示,馈电处的电流反向,这种馈电可以称为差模馈电。线天线101上的电流同向分布。这里,电流同向分布是指激励出的主要电流的方向基本上是相同的,例如图4A所示,线天线101的主要电流的方向都是从右到左。图4A所示天线所激励起的天线模式可以称为线天线DM模式,该天线可以称为DM线天线。线天线DM模式可以是整个线天线101工作在1/2波长模式产生的。
图4B简化示出了线天线101的辐射模式,可以看出,线天线DM模式的辐射方向垂直于线天线101的延伸方向,即极化方向垂直于线天线101的延伸方向。实际应用中,线天线101的极化方向和线天线101的延伸方向可以不是完全垂直的,可以存在些许偏差,例如30°以内的偏差,形成近似垂直。
3.共模(common mode,CM)槽天线模式
如图5A所示,槽天线108可包括:槽109,槽109的一侧设有缝隙107,缝隙107可连接槽109至外部自由空间。缝隙107可具体开设在该侧的中间位置。这里,中间位置是指该侧的中点,即缝隙107所处的位置覆盖了该中点。缝隙107处可连接馈源,例如缝隙107两端的辐射体可连接馈源。具体地,缝隙107一端的辐射体连接到馈源的正极,缝隙107的另一端的辐射体连接到馈源的负极。
图5A所示的这种馈电方式会使得馈电处(即缝隙107处)的电场同向,这种馈电可以称为共模馈电。电场在槽109上对称反向分布。这里,电场反向分布是指激励出的主要电场的方向基本上是反向的,例如图5A所示,槽109的左半部分上的主要电场的方向是从上到下,槽109的右半部分上的主要电场的方向是从下到上。图5A所示天线所激励起的天线模式可以称为槽天线CM模式,该天线可以称为CM槽天线。槽天线CM模式可以是缝隙107两侧的槽部分各自工作在1/4波长模式产生的。
图5B简化示出了槽天线108的辐射模式,可以看出,槽天线CM模式的辐射方向同于槽109的延伸方向,即极化方向平行于槽109的延伸方向。实际应用中,槽天线108的极化方向和槽天线108的延伸方向可以不是完全相同的,可以存在些许偏差,例如30°以内的偏差。
4.差模(differential mode,DM)槽天线模式
如图6A所示,槽天线110可包括:槽114,槽114具体可以通过在地板上形成,例如在地板上开槽形成。槽114的中间位置可以连接馈源,例如槽114的中间位置两侧的辐射体可以连接馈源。这里,槽114的中间位置连接馈源,是指馈源的馈线与槽114的一侧(例如金属边框形成的该侧)的连接处覆盖了该侧的中点。具体的,槽114的一侧辐射体的中间位置可连接馈源的正极,槽114的另一侧辐射体的中间位置可连接馈源的负极。这里,馈源的正极/负极连接到辐射体的中间位置是指馈源的正极/负极和辐射体的连接处覆盖了该辐射体的中点。
图6A所示的这种馈电方式会使得馈电处112的电场反向,这种馈电可以称为差模馈电。电场在槽114上对称同向分布。这里,电场同向分布是指激励出的主要电场的方向基本上是相同的,例如图6A所示,槽114的主要电场的方向都是从上到下。图6A所示天线所激励起的天线模式可以称为槽天线DM模式,该天线可以称为DM槽天线。槽天线DM模式可以是整个槽114工作在1/2波长模式产生的。
图6B简化示出了槽天线110的辐射模式,可以看出,槽天线DM模式的辐射方向垂直于槽114的延伸方向,即极化方向垂直于槽114的延伸方向。实际应用中,槽天线110极化方向和槽114的延伸方向可以不是完全垂直的,可以存在些许偏差,例如30°以内的偏差,形成近似垂直。
以上提及的几种天线中,由于共模天线和差模天线的极化方向是正交的,因此二者之间的隔离度很高。这里,正交可以是针对两天线的主瓣方向来说的,即辐射能量最大的方向。实际应用中,共模天线和差模天线的极化方向也可以不是完全正交的,存在些许偏差,例如30°以内的偏差,形成近似正交。
基于上述几种天线模式,下面说明本申请实施例提供的天线设计方案。
图7A示例性示出了主、副屏天线分别为DM线天线、CM线天线的方案。
如图7A所示,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态时,主、副屏天线出现重叠,该重叠可以是全部或部分重叠。主屏天线可包括一段导体21-A以及设置在导体21-A上的馈电点23,馈电点23可连接馈源。主屏上的导体21-A可以是主屏金属边框的一段,也可以是印制在主屏边框内侧的金属条。导体21-A上可呈现出同向分布的电流,激励出了前面图4A-图4B所示的线天线DM模式。该同向分布的电流可以是分布在导体21-A上的主要电流,该电流可以是主屏天线的基模产生的。副屏天线可包括一段导体21-B、设置在导体21-B上的馈电点24以及接地枝节25,馈电点24可连接馈源,接地枝节25可连接地板。副屏上的导体21-B可以是副屏金属边框的一段,也可以是印制在副屏边框内侧的金属条。导体21-B上可呈现对称反向分布的电流,激励出了前面图3A-图3B所示的线天线CM模式。该反向分布的电流可以是分布在导体21-A上的主要电流,该电流可以是主屏天线的基模产生的。
由于主、副屏天线分别为DM线天线、CM线天线,因此,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态场景下,主、副屏天线工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度。
除了线天线CM模式,图7A所示的副屏天线其实还可以激励出另一种天线模式:线天线DM模式。其基于的原理是:在不考虑馈电的情况下,任意形状的导体可具有多个特征模(characteristic mode),通过馈电设计可增强其中某一个或某几个特征模,从而选择出期望特征模。而这里,线天线DM模式和线天线CM模式即副屏天线通过馈电选择出的期望特征模。当主、副屏天线因折叠屏折叠而重叠时,为了避免副屏天线上另外激励出的线天线DM模式干扰主屏天线的槽天线DM模式,可以将副屏天线上另外激励出的线天线DM模式和主屏天线的槽天线DM模式调到不同频段。
图7A中,主屏天线在结构上可以并联电感来接地,这样主屏天线就可以变形为CM线天线,其上主要电流分布为电流反向分布。此时,副屏天线在结构上可以串联电容来短路接地枝节,这样副屏天线就可以变形为DM线天线,其上主要电流分布为电流同向分布。
图7B示例性示出了主、副屏天线分别为DM线天线、CM槽天线的方案。
如图7B所示,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态时,主、副屏天线出现重叠,该重叠可以是全部或部分重叠。主屏天线可包括一段导体21-A以及设置在导体21-A上的馈电点23,馈电点23可连接馈源。主屏上的导体21-A可以是主屏金属边框的一段,也可以是印制在主屏边框内侧的金属条。导体21-A上可呈现出同向分布的电流,例如,激励出了前面图4A-图4B所示的线天线DM模式。副屏天线可包括在导体21-C上形成的槽26,例如在导体21-C上开槽形成,槽26的一侧设有缝隙28,缝隙28可具体开设在该侧的中间位置。这里,中间位置是指该侧的中点,即缝隙28所处位置覆盖了该侧的中点。副屏上的导体21-C可以是副 屏金属边框和副屏PCB地板合围形成的,例如在副屏PCB地板上形成导体21-C中的槽26。即,槽26的一侧边由副屏金属边框构成,另一侧边由副屏PCB地板构成。在槽26设有缝隙28的一侧可设有馈电点27,馈电点27可连接馈源。槽26中可呈现对称反向分布的电场,激励出了前面图5A-图5B所示的槽天线CM模式。该反向分布的电场可以是分布在槽26中的主要电场,该电场可以是副屏天线的基模产生的。
由于主、副屏天线分别为DM线天线、CM槽天线,因此,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态场景下,主、副屏天线工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度。
图7C示例性示出了主、副屏天线分别为CM线天线、DM槽天线的方案。
如图7C所示,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态时,主、副屏天线出现重叠,该重叠可以是全部或部分重叠。主屏天线可包括一段导体21-B、设置在导体21-B上的馈电点24以及接地枝节25,馈电点24可连接馈源,接地枝节25可连接地板。主屏上的导体21-B可以是主屏金属边框的一段,也可以是印制在主屏边框内侧的金属条。导体21-B上可呈现对称反向分布的电流,例如,激励出了前面图3A-图3B所示的线天线CM模式。副屏天线可包括在导体21-D上开槽形成的槽32,例如在导体21-D上开槽形成,槽32的一侧可设有馈电点31,馈电点31可连接馈源。副屏上的导体21-D可以是副屏金属边框和副屏PCB地板合围形成的,例如在副屏PCB地板上形成导体21-D中的槽32。即,槽32的一侧边由副屏金属边框构成,另一侧边由副屏PCB地板构成。槽32中可呈现同向分布的电场,激励出了前面图6A-图6B所示的槽天线DM模式。该同向分布的电场可以是分布在槽32中的主要电场,该电场可以是副屏天线的基模产生的。
由于主、副屏天线分别为CM线天线、DM槽天线,因此,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态场景下,主、副屏天线工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度。
除了线天线CM模式,图7C所示的主屏天线其实还可以激励出另一种天线模式:线天线DM模式,原理在前面已介绍过。当主、副屏天线因折叠屏折叠而重叠时,为了避免主屏天线的线天线DM模式干扰副屏天线的槽天线DM模式,可以将主屏天线上激励出的线天线DM模式和副屏天线的槽天线DM模式调到不同频段。
图7D示例性示出了主、副屏天线分别为CM槽天线、DM槽天线的方案。
如图7D所示,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态时,主、副屏天线出现重叠,该重叠可以是全部或部分重叠。主屏天线可包括在导体21-C上形成的槽26,例如在导体21-C上开槽形成,槽26的一侧设有缝隙28,缝隙28可具体开设在该侧的中间位置。这里,中间位置是指该侧的中点,即缝隙28所处位置覆盖了该侧的中点。在槽26设有缝隙28的一侧可设有馈电点27,馈电点27可连接馈源。主屏上的导体21-C可以是主屏金属边框和副屏PCB地板合围形成的,例如在主屏PCB地板上形成导体21-C中的槽26。即,槽26的一侧边由主屏金属边框构成,另一侧边由主屏PCB地板构成。槽26中可呈现对称反向分布的电场,激励出了前面图5A-图5B所示的槽天线CM模式。该反向分布的电场可以是分布在槽26中的主要电场,该电场可以是主屏天线的基模产生的。副屏天线可包括在导体21-D上开槽形成的槽32,例如在导体21-D上开槽形成,槽32的一侧可设有馈电点31,馈电点31可连接馈源。副屏上的导体21-D可以是副屏金属边框和副屏PCB地板合围形成的,例如在副屏PCB地板上形成导体21-D中的槽32。即,槽32的一侧边由副屏金属边框构成,另一侧边由副屏PCB地板构成。槽32中可呈现同向分布的电场,激励出了前面图6A-图6B所示的槽天线DM模式。该同向分布的电场可以是分布在槽32中的主要电场,该电场可以是副屏天线的基模产生的。
由于主、副屏天线分别为CM槽天线、DM槽天线,因此,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折 叠态场景下,主、副屏天线工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度。
以上图7A-图7D所示几种方案中,主屏天线可以设置在主屏上,副屏天线可以设置在副屏上。具体的,导体21-A、导体21-B可以是一段悬浮金属条,可由电子设备的金属边框、金属中框等形成。对于非金属工业设计(industry design,ID)的电子设备来说,导体21-A、导体21-B可以为印制在非金属边框的内表面的一段金属条,或者为使用导电银浆印制在非金属边框的内表面的一段金属条。具体的,槽26、槽32可以是在PCB地板、金属中框等导体上形成的,例如在导体上开槽形成。后面实施例中会详细介绍主、副屏天线在整机中的实现,这里先不赘述。
以上图7A-图7D所示几种方案中,主、副屏天线可以调换位置,例如图7A中的主屏天线可设置在副屏上成为副屏天线,而图7A中的副屏天线可设置在主屏上成为主屏天线。
实施以上图7A-图7D所示的几种方案,在电子设备的折叠屏处于折叠态场景下,重叠的主、副屏天线工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度,而且辐射方向图互补。从而,不必通过物理位置的隔离来获得高隔离度的两个或以上的同频天线,可以充分利用具有折叠屏的电子设备的天线设计空间。
下面将结合几个实施例详细介绍主、副屏天线在整机中的实现。电子设备中,金属边框和PCB地板之间形成的镂空的内部、金属边框上的缝隙的内部填充的材料的介电常数可以为3.0,损耗角可以为0.01。
实施例一
图8A-图8B示例性示出了实施例一提供的天线结构。其中,图8A示出了折叠屏11处于展开态时构成的天线结构,图8B示出了折叠屏11处于折叠态时构成的天线结构。实施例一提供的天线结构包括主屏天线和副屏天线,其中,主、副屏天线可以分别为CM线天线、DM线天线。
如图8A所示,主屏天线可以通过镂空PCB地板和在金属边框上开设缝隙来实现。具体的,可以通过在主屏边框12-1的特定部分(例如底部边框部分)上开设缝隙,如0.9-2.0毫米宽的35-A、35-B这两个缝隙,以及镂空邻接主屏边框12-1的该特定部分的PCB地板,来形成悬浮金属边框41-A。该镂空部分可形成槽31-A,平行于悬浮金属边框41-A,用来隔开悬浮金属边框41-A和主屏的PCB地板,使悬浮金属边框41-A悬浮于地,即构成净空。槽31-A的长度大于悬浮金属边框41-A的长度,即沿着主屏边框12-1的该特定部分的延伸方向,越过35-A、35-B这两个缝隙而形成一个相较于悬浮金属边框41-A来说较长的槽,以使得35-A、35-B这两个缝隙之间的金属边框形成悬浮金属边框,从而形为线天线辐射体。悬浮金属边框41-A可相当于图7A中的导体21-B。并且,可利用未镂空部分32形成连接悬浮金属边框41-A的接地枝节,未镂空部分32可以为图8A示出的条状地板枝节。不限于通过该条状地板枝节,接地枝节也可以通过设在主屏部分的PCB地板上的金属弹片来实现,该金属弹片可连接悬浮金属边框41-A,接地枝节还可以为主屏部分的金属边框延伸出来的连接PCB地板的金属枝节。主屏边框12-1的该特定部分可以称为第一主屏边框部分。
图8A还示出了主屏天线的馈电方式。悬浮金属边框41-A上可以设置有馈电点33-A,以连接馈电线34-A至馈源。馈电点33-A可以邻近接地点而设,以激励出线天线CM模式。接地点即接地枝节(未镂空部分)与悬浮金属边框41-A的连接处。接地点可以设置在悬浮金属边框41-A的中间,也可以设置在悬浮金属边框41-A上邻近中间的位置处。接地点设置在悬浮金属边框41-A的中间可以是指接地点设置在悬浮金属边框41-A的中点,即接地枝节与悬 浮金属边框41-A的连接处覆盖了该中点。该邻近可以是指接地点到中间位置的距离不远于工作波长的1/8。不限于邻近接地点而设,馈电点33-A也可以邻近悬浮金属边框41-A的开放端而设。这里,馈电点33-A邻近接地点可以是指,馈电点33-A到该接地点的距离大于0且小于工作波长的1/8。馈电点33-A邻近悬浮金属边框41-A的开放端可以是指,馈电点33-A到该开放端的距离不远于工作波长的1/8,甚至可以等于0。该工作波长是指主屏天线的线天线CM模式的工作波长,后面内容会介绍工作波长的计算方式,这里先不展开。
应可理解,悬浮金属边框41-A的中点可以认为是悬浮金属边框41-A的长度的中点,这里的长度可以认为是电长度。电长度可以是指,物理长度(即机械长度或几何长度)乘以电或电磁信号在媒介中的传输时间与这一信号在自由空间中通过跟媒介物理长度一样的距离时所需的时间的比来表示,电长度可以满足以下公式:
Figure PCTCN2021142660-appb-000001
其中,L为物理长度,a为电或电磁信号在媒介中的传输时间,b为在自由空间中的中传输时间;
或者,电长度也可以是指物理长度(即机械长度或几何长度)与所传输电磁波的波长之比,电长度可以满足以下公式:
Figure PCTCN2021142660-appb-000002
其中,L为物理长度,λ为电磁波的波长。
同样的,如图8A所示,副屏天线也可以通过镂空PCB地板和在金属边框上开设缝隙来实现。具体的,可以通过在副屏边框12-3的特定部分(例如底部边框部分)上开设缝隙,如36-A、36-B这两个缝隙,以及镂空邻接副屏边框12-3的该特定部分的PCB地板,来形成悬浮金属边框41-B。该镂空部分可形成槽31-B,平行于悬浮金属边框41-B,用来隔开悬浮金属边框41-B和副屏的PCB地板,使悬浮金属边框41-B悬浮于地,即构成净空。槽31-B的长度大于悬浮金属边框41-B的长度,即沿着邻接副屏边框12-3的该特定部分的延伸方向,越过36-A、36-B这两个缝隙而形成一个相较于悬浮金属边框41-B来说较长的槽,以使得36-A、36-B这两个缝隙之间的金属边框形成悬浮金属边框,从而形为线天线辐射体。悬浮金属边框41-B可相当于图7A中的导体21-A。和主屏天线不同的是,副屏天线中的悬浮金属边框41-B并不设有接地枝节,不存在如主屏天线中的未镂空部分32那样的结构。副屏边框12-1的该特定部分可以称为第一副屏边框部分。
图8A还示出了副屏天线的馈电方式。悬浮金属边框41-B上可设置有馈电点33-B,以连接馈电线34-B至馈源。馈电点33-B可以邻近悬浮金属边框41-B的中间位置而设,可称为中间偏馈,以激励出线天线DM模式。馈电点33-B设置在悬浮金属边框41-B的中间位置可以是指馈电点33-B设置在悬浮金属边框41-B的中点,即馈电线34-B与悬浮金属边框41-B的连接处覆盖了该中点。不限于邻近该中间位置而设,馈电点33-B也可以邻接悬浮金属边框41-B的开放端而设。这里,邻近可以是指,馈电点33-B到悬浮金属边框41-B的中间位置的距离小于工作波长的1/16,或馈电点33-B到悬浮金属边框41-B的开放端的距离小于工作波长的1/16,该邻近也可包括该距离等于0的情况。该工作波长是指副屏天线的线天线DM模式的工作波长。
图8A中的主屏天线和副屏天线可以是工作在同频段的天线。主屏天线上的电流分布可以参考图3A,即在悬浮金属边框41-A上呈对称反向分布。副屏天线上的电流分布可以参考图4A,即在悬浮金属边框41-B上呈同向分布。另外,主、副屏天线还可以激励起地板产生图8C所示的电流分布。主屏天线的辐射方向可参考图3B,即沿着悬浮金属边框41-A的方向辐射。副屏天线的辐射方向可参考图4B,即垂直于悬浮金属边框41-B的方向辐射。
图8B示例性示出了折叠屏11处于折叠态时主屏天线和副屏天线的位置关系。在折叠屏11处于折叠态时,主屏天线所处的位置和副屏天线所处的位置出现重叠。例如,主屏天线所处的位置为形成悬浮金属边框41-A的主屏边框部分(即第一主屏边框部分)所处的位置,副屏天线所处的位置为形成悬浮金属边框41-B的副屏边框部分(即第一副屏边框部分)所处的位置。该重叠并不影响主屏天线、副屏天线的性能,因为主、副屏天线分别为辐射方向正交的CM线天线、DM线天线,即使工作在相同频段(例如B1频段、B3频段、B7频段、N77频段,或者例如3.6GHz-4.1GHz,等等)也能够具有良好的隔离度。这样,就可以在主、副屏的重叠区域得到两个同频段天线,且方向图互补。
实施例一提供的折叠屏天线可以进一步变形为图9A-图9B所示,即,主屏天线可以从CM线天线变形为倒F天线(inverted F antenna,IFA),工作在1/4波长模式。图9C示出了主屏IFA线天线和副屏DM线天线各自激励起的电流分布,主屏IFA线天线激励起的地板电流的分布符合CM线天线的地板电流的分布,这使得主屏IFA线天线的辐射方向基本同于CM线天线的辐射方向,正交于副屏DM线天线的辐射方向。仿真实验表明,主屏IFA线天线和副屏DM线天线方向图的最大辐射方向是正交的,因此,这两个天线即使工作在相同频段,在折叠屏11处于折叠态时也能获得高隔离度。图9A-图9B的天线在折叠态下的简化结构可如图9D所示。例如,主屏天线可以为工作在N77频段(例如,3.6GHz-4.1GHz)的天线,工作模式为1/4波长模式,副屏天线也可以为工作在N77频段的天线,工作模式为1/2波长模式。从图9E可以看出,主屏N77天线和副屏N77天线之间可以获得良好的隔离度。
为了覆盖更多频段,在和副屏DM线天线重叠的位置可以设计多个主屏天线,例如设计多个主屏IFA天线,可以包括和副屏DM线天线工作在相同频段的IFA天线,也可以包括和副屏DM线天线工作在不同频段的IFA天线。例如,如图9F所示,主屏上可以设置两个IFA天线,一个可以为N77频段天线,另一个可以为中高频(mid-highband,MHB)天线。从图9G-图9H可以看出,屏折叠屏处于折叠态下,图9F所示天线中的各个天线的互相影响较小,辐射效率和系统效率仍然较高。
在主屏天线从CM线天线变形为倒F天线的情况下,副屏天线还可以为DM槽天线,也可以在主、副屏天线重叠时仍获得高隔离度。DM槽天线在整机中的具体实现可以参考后续图10A-图10B实施例、图12A-图12B实施例中的DM槽天线。

如图10A所示,实施例二中的主屏天线和图8A中示出的主屏天线相同,可以通过镂空PCB地板和在金属边框上开设缝隙来实现,具体可以参考图8A的相关描述,这里不再赘述。
如图10A所示,副屏天线可以通过镂空PCB地板来实现。具体的,可以镂空邻接副屏金 属边框12-3的特定部分(例如底部边框部分)的PCB地板,通过镂空后的副屏部分的PCB地板和副屏金属边框12-3的该特定部分合围来形成槽52-B。槽52-B两端封闭(可称为封闭端),槽52-B的一侧为副屏金属边框12-3,另一侧为副屏部分的PCB地板。槽52-B即图7C中的槽32。图10A还示出了副屏天线的馈电方式。槽52-B的金属边框那一侧(如金属边框51-B)上可设置有馈电点53-B,以连接馈电线54-B至馈源,而且槽52-B的设置馈电点的该侧不开设缝隙。馈电点53-B可以邻近金属边框51-B的中间位置而设,以激励出槽天线DM模式。不限于邻近该中间位置而设,馈电点53-B也可以邻近槽52-B的封闭端而设。这里,邻近可以是指,馈电点53-B到该中间位置或该封闭端的距离小于工作波长的1/16,该邻近也可包括该距离等于0的情况。
这里,馈电点53-B设置在悬浮金属边框51-B的中间位置(该距离等于0的情况)可以是指馈电点53-B设置在悬浮金属边框51-B的中点,即馈电线54-B与悬浮金属边框51-B的连接处覆盖了该中点。
图10A中的主屏天线和副屏天线可以是工作在同频段的天线。主屏天线上的电流分布可以参考图3A,即在悬浮金属边框51-A上呈对称反向分布。副屏天线上的电场分布可以参考图6A,即在槽52-B中呈同向分布。主屏天线的辐射方向可参考图3B,即沿着悬浮金属边框41-A的方向辐射。副屏天线的辐射方向可参考图6B,即垂直于槽52-B的方向辐射。
图10B示例性示出了折叠屏11处于折叠态时主屏天线和副屏天线的位置关系。在折叠屏11处于折叠态时,主屏天线所处的位置和副屏天线所处的位置出现重叠。该重叠并不影响主屏天线、副屏天线的性能,因为主、副屏天线分别为辐射方向正交的CM线天线、DM槽天线,即使工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度。这样,就可以在主、副屏的重叠区域得到两个同频段天线,且方向图互补。
实施例三

图11A还示出了主屏天线的馈电方式。槽62-A的金属边框那一侧上可设置有馈电点63-A,以连接馈电线64-A至馈源。馈电点63-A可以邻近缝隙67而设,以激励出线天线CM模式。不限于邻近该缝隙67,馈电点63-A也可以邻近槽62-A的封闭端而设。这里,馈电点63-A邻近缝隙67可以是指,馈电点63-A到缝隙67的距离大于0且小于工作波长的1/8。馈电点63-A邻近槽62-A的封闭端可以是指,馈电点63-A到该封闭端的距离小于工作波长的1/8,该邻近也可以包括该距离等于0的情况。该工作波长是指主屏天线的槽天线CM模式的工作波长,后面内容会介绍工作波长的计算方式,这里先不展开。
这里,馈电点63-A到缝隙67的距离可以是指馈电点63-A到缝隙67的中点的距离,也可以是指馈电点63-A到缝隙67的两端的距离。
如图11A所示,实施例三中的副屏天线和图8A中示出的副屏天线相同,可以通过镂空PCB地板和在金属边框上开设缝隙来实现,具体可以参考图8A中的副屏天线的相关说明,这里不再赘述。
图11A中的主屏天线和副屏天线可以是工作在同频段的天线。主屏天线上的电场分布可以参考图7B,即在槽62-A上呈对称反向分布。副屏天线上的电流分布可以参考图7B,即在悬浮金属边框61-B上呈同向分布。主屏天线的辐射方向可参考图5B,即沿着槽62-A的方向辐射。副屏天线的辐射方向可参考图4B,即垂直于悬浮金属边框61-B的方向辐射。
图11B示例性示出了折叠屏11处于折叠态时主屏天线和副屏天线的位置关系。在折叠屏11处于折叠态时,主屏天线所处的位置和副屏天线所处的位置出现重叠。该重叠并不影响主屏天线、副屏天线的性能,因为主、副屏天线分别为辐射方向正交的CM槽天线、DM线天线,即使工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度。这样,就可以在主、副屏的重叠区域得到两个同频段天线,且方向图互补。
实施例四

如图12A所示,实施例四中的副屏天线和图10A中示出的副屏天线相同,可以通过镂空PCB地板和在金属边框上开设缝隙来实现,具体可以参考图10A中的副屏DM槽天线的相关说明,这里不再赘述。
图12A中的主屏天线和副屏天线可以是工作在同频段的天线。主屏天线上的电场分布可以参考图7D,即在槽72-A上呈对称反向分布。副屏天线上的电流分布可以参考图7D,即在槽72-A上呈同向分布。主屏天线的辐射方向可参考图5B,即沿着槽72-A的方向辐射。副屏天线的辐射方向可参考图6B,即垂直于槽72-A的方向辐射。
图12B示例性示出了折叠屏11处于折叠态时主屏天线和副屏天线的位置关系。在折叠屏11处于折叠态时,主屏天线所处的位置和副屏天线所处的位置出现重叠。该重叠并不影响主屏天线、副屏天线的性能,因为主、副屏天线分别为辐射方向正交的CM槽天线、DM槽天线,即使工作在相同频段也能够具有良好的隔离度。这样,就可以在主、副屏的重叠区域得到两个同频段天线,且方向图互补。
以上实施例提供的折叠屏天线,设置在折叠态下的折叠屏重叠位置处,可以实现性能良好的同频天线,进而可以提高折叠屏天线设计的主副屏空间利用率,天线数量可以拓展到更多,尤其利于MIMO天线设计。
图13A-图13B示出了本申请实施例提供的天线结构的馈电位置。
如图13A所示,DM线天线的馈电位置可以邻近辐射体的中间位置而设。不限于邻近该中间位置而设,馈电位置也可以邻接辐射体的开放端而设。邻近可以是指馈电点到辐射体的中间位置或开放端的距离小于第一距离值,例如第一距离值工作波长的1/16,即该距离大于0且小于工作波长的1/16,该邻近可以包括该距离等于0的情况。这里,该工作波长是指线天线DM模式的工作波长。DM槽天线的馈电位置相对于槽体的位置关系,可以参考图13A设置,槽体可视为槽天线的辐射体,馈电位置可以邻近槽体的中间位置而设,也可以邻近槽体的封闭端而设。槽体可以如前述实施例所述,是通过镂空PCB地板,由金属边框和PCB地板合围而形成的。
如图13B所示,CM线天线的馈电位置可以邻近辐射体的接地点(接地枝节和辐射体的连接点)而设。不限于邻近该接地点而设,馈电位置也可以邻接辐射体的开放端而设。这里,馈电点邻近接地点可以是指,馈电点到该接地点的距离小于第二距离值,例如第二距离值为工作波长的1/8,即该距离大于0且小于工作波长的1/8。馈电点邻近该开放端可以是指,馈电点到该开放端的距离不远于工作波长的1/8,该邻近可以包括该距离等于0的情况。该工作波长是指线天线CM模式的工作波长。CM槽天线的馈电位置相对于槽体的位置关系,可以参考图13B设置,槽体可视为槽天线的辐射体,馈电位置可以邻近槽体一侧的开缝而设,也可以邻近槽体的封闭端而设。
图14A-图14G示出了本申请实施例提供的天线结构实施为几种典型频段的天线时的尺寸设计。
如图14A所示,主、副屏天线都可以为N77频段天线,二者辐射体长度可以约为13毫米,但不限定为该长度,主副屏N77天线也可以通过调谐开关来调整天线辐射长度。图14A所示天线结构的主副屏天线的隔离度可参考9E所示。
如图14B所示,主屏天线的辐射体的一半长度可以约为24毫米,馈电点到开放端的长度可以约为6毫米,即主屏天线可以改变尺寸而工作在中高频MHB频段和B1/B3频段,但不限定为该长度,主屏天线也可以通过调谐开关来调整天线辐射长度。图14C示出了图14B的主屏天线在MHB频段和B1/B3频段产生谐振。
如图14D所示,主屏天线的辐射体的一半长度可以约为18毫米,馈电点到开放端的长度可以为6毫米,即主屏天线可以改变尺寸而工作在中高频MHB频段和B7频段,但不限定为该长度,主屏天线也可以通过调谐开关来调整天线辐射长度。图14E示出了图14D的主屏天线在MHB频段和B7频段产生谐振。
如图14F所示,主屏天线的辐射体的一半长度可以约为11毫米,馈电点到开放端的长度可以为4毫米,即主屏天线可以改变尺寸而工作在中高频MHB频段和N77频段,但不限定为该长度,主屏天线也可以通过调谐开关来调整天线辐射长度。图14G示出了图14F的主屏天线在MHB频段和N77频段产生谐振。
不限于图14A-图14G所示的几种典型频段,本申请实施例提供的主副屏天线还可工作在其他频段。本申请中,天线的某种波长模式(如二分之一波长模式等)中的工作波长可以是指该天线辐射的信号的波长。例如,悬浮金属天线的二分之一波长模式可产生1.575GHz频段的谐振,其中二分之一波长模式中的工作波长是指天线辐射1.575GHz频段的信号的波长。应理解的是,辐射信号在空气中的波长可以如下计算:波长=光速/频率,其中频率为辐射信号的频率。辐射信号在介质中的波长可以如下计算:
Figure PCTCN2021142660-appb-000003
其中,ε为该介质的相对介电常数,频率为辐射信号的频率。以上实施例中的缝隙、槽中可以填充绝缘介质。
以上实施例中提及的工作波长的1/16、工作波长的1/8,其中“工作波长”可以是指谐振 频率的中心频率对应的波长。例如,假设B1上行频段(谐振频率为1920MHz至1980MHz)的中心频率为1955MHz,那工作波长可以为利用1955MHz这个频率计算出来的波长。不限于中心频率,“工作波长”也可以是指谐振频率的非中心频率对应的波长。
以上实施例中提及的“邻近”采用了工作波长的1/16、工作波长的1/8作为临界值来约束,但这两个值也仅用于示例,馈电点或接地枝节邻近某个位置(如近辐射体的中间位置或开放端)是指馈电点或接地枝节与该位置之间的距离不超过特定距离值,以此来约束“邻近”这一位置关系,以上实施例中的示例可作为一种实现方式。
以上实施例中提及的开放端、封闭端,例如是相对地而言的,封闭端接地,开放端不接地,或者例如是相对于其他导电体而言的,封闭端电连接其他导电体,开放端不电连接其他导电体。
另外,本申请以上内容中提及的中间或中间位置等这类关于位置、距离的限定,均是针对当前工艺水平而言的,而不是数学意义上绝对严格的定义。举例说明,导体的中间位置指的是导体的中点,实际应用中是指其他部件(例如馈线、接地枝节)与该导体的连接处覆盖了中点。槽的中间位置或槽的一侧的中间位置指的是槽的一侧边的中点,实际应用中是指其他部件(例如馈线)与该侧边的连接处覆盖了中点。槽的一侧的中间位置设置有缝隙在实际应用中是指该缝隙在该侧所处位置覆盖了该侧的中点。
本申请以上内容中提及的馈电点可以是指馈线与导体的连接区域(又可称为连接处)中的任一点,例如中心点。点(如馈电点、连接点、接地点)到缝隙或者缝隙到点的距离可以是指点到该缝隙的中点的距离,也可以是指点到该缝隙的两端的距离。
本申请以上内容中提及的电流同向/反向分布,应理解为在同一侧的导体上主要电流的方向为同向/反向的。例如,在呈环状的导体上激励同向分布电流(例如,电流路径也是环状的)时,应可理解,环状导体中两侧的导体上(例如围绕一缝隙的导体,在该缝隙两侧的导体上)激励的主要电流虽然从方向上看为反向的,其仍然属于本申请中对于同向分布电流的定义。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
