技术领域
本申请涉及天线领域,尤其是涉及一种天线单元及电子设备。
背景技术
随着终端技术的更新换代以及迎合市场需要,终端设备的小型化逐渐成为了业界共同的目标,越来越小的终端设备给天线在终端设备中的设置带来了极大的挑战。
以毫米波天线为例,当毫米波天线置于终端设备的背盖下方时,天线的剖面(或可理解为天线的高度)越低,越有利于天线以及终端设备的小型化。然而,减小天线的剖面(或可理解为降低天线的高度)会影响天线的性能(例如天线的带宽)。
现有技术中,为了减轻降低剖面对天线性能的不良影响,可以增大辐射体的尺寸,从而减小天线的Q值,以提升天线的性能(例如天线的带宽)。然而,增大辐射体尺寸增加了天线在终端设备中所占用的空间,因而不利于天线的小型化。
可见,现有技术存在天线的小型化和高性能(例如较高的带宽)难以兼顾的问题。

表1

需要说明的是,以上仅是一种天线的参数选型示例,当本申请实施例的天线单元适用于其它工作频段时,可根据实际应用场景进行参数选型调整,本申请对此不作限定。
在图14中,横坐标表示频率,单位为GHz,纵坐标表示S11幅度值,单位为dB,S11属于S参数中的一种。S11表示反射系数,此参数能够表征天线发射效率的优劣,具体的,S11值越小,表征天线回波损耗越小,天线本身反射回来的能量越小,也就是代表实际上进入天线的能量就越多。需要说明的是,工程上一般以S11值为-6dB作为标准,当天线的S11值小于-6dB时,可以认为该天线可正常工作,或可认为该天线的发射效率较好。在图15中,横坐标表示频率,单位为GHz,纵坐标表示天线的增益,单位为dBi,天线的增益可理解为:天线在某一规定方向上的辐射功率通量密度与参考天线在相同输入功率时最大辐射功率表通量密度的比值,天线的增益能够定量地表征天线把输入功率集中辐射的程度,可用于衡量天线朝一个特定方向收发信号的能力。
在图14中,曲线1为本申请实施例天线单元激励第一馈电点,且天线单元工作于低频段时的S11曲线,曲线2为本申请实施例天线单元激励第二馈电点,且天线单元工作于高频段时的S11曲线。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,由于各辐射体均为轴对称结构,因此,天线单元激励第三馈电点,且天线单元工作于低频段时的S11曲线与曲线1基本一致或者重合,天线单元激励第四馈电点,且天线单元工作于高频段时的S11曲线与曲线2基本一致或者重合。
从图14可以看出,以S11值为-10dB作为标准,本申请实施例天线单元能够覆盖24.25GHz~29.5GHz频段,以及37GHz~43.5GHz频段。
在图15中,曲线1为本申请实施例天线单元工作于低频段时的增益曲线,曲线2为本申请实施例天线单元工作于高频段时的增益曲线。
从图14中可以看出,在低频段24.25GHz~29.5GHz内和高频段37GHz~43.5GHz内,本申请实施例天线单元的增益约为6.7dBi~10.6dBi。
可见,本申请实施例天线单元能够覆盖24.25GHz~29.5GHz以及37GHz~43.5GHz的频段,且在这两个频段内的增益约为6.7dBi~10.6dBi,可见,本申请实施例的天线单元能够适用于多个频段,并且在各频段内均具有较高的带宽。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本申请进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本申请的精神和范围。这样,倘若本申请的这些修改和变型属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本申请也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
