The more. It should be noted that in engineering, the S11 value of -6dB is generally used as a standard. When the S11 value of an antenna is less than -6dB, it can be considered that the antenna can work normally, or the antenna's radiation efficiency can be considered to be good.
- the abscissa represents the frequency, in GHz
- the ordinate represents the gain of the antenna, in dBi.
- the gain of the antenna can be understood as: the radiated power flux density of the antenna in a certain specified direction is the same as that of the reference antenna.
- the gain of the antenna can quantitatively represent the degree to which the antenna radiates the input power in a concentrated manner, and can be used to measure the ability of the antenna to send and receive signals in a specific direction.
- curve 1 is the S11 curve when the antenna unit according to the embodiment of the present application excites the first feed point and the antenna unit works in the low frequency band.
- Curve 2 is the S11 curve when the antenna unit according to the embodiment of the present application excites the second feed point, and S11 curve when the antenna unit works in the high frequency band.
- each radiator since each radiator has an axially symmetric structure, the antenna unit excites the third feed point, and the S11 curve when the antenna unit operates in the low frequency band is basically consistent with Curve 1 or Coincidence, the antenna unit excites the fourth feed point, and the S11 curve when the antenna unit works in the high frequency band is basically consistent or coincident with curve 2.
- the antenna unit of the embodiment of the present application can cover the frequency band of 24.25GHz to 29.5GHz and the frequency band of 37GHz to 43.5GHz.
- curve 1 is the gain curve of the antenna unit of the embodiment of the present application when it operates in the low frequency band
- curve 2 is the gain curve of the antenna unit of the embodiment of the present application when it operates in the high frequency band.
- the gain of the antenna unit according to the embodiment of the present application is approximately 6.7dBi ⁇ 10.6dBi.
- the antenna unit of the embodiment of the present application can cover the frequency bands of 24.25GHz ⁇ 29.5GHz and 37GHz ⁇ 43.5GHz, and the gain in these two frequency bands is about 6.7dBi ⁇ 10.6dBi. It can be seen that the antenna unit of the embodiment of the present application can It is suitable for multiple frequency bands and has high bandwidth in each frequency band.
