在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,第二介电柱上设置有第二容置孔,第二容置孔的中心线与预设直线共线。如此设置,可以减小第二介电柱的质量,以实现天线组件的轻量化。

在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,第一工作频段小于第二工作频段。由于,各第二天线枝节向第一容置孔的中部延伸,进而提高了第一天线枝节和第二天线枝节之间的隔离度;因此可以保证天线组件的性能。
在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,第一工作频段的频率与第二工作频段的频率的差值大于等于180MHz。
在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,天线组件还包括导电环,导电环设置在第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列背离所述基板的一侧,导电环与第一天线枝节之间的距离小于等于11mm。导电环内的感应电流方向与第一天线枝节和第二天线枝节的电流方向相同,在远场性能上,导电环可以起到同向的叠加效果,进而提高了第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列的增益。另外,导电环辐射的圆极化电磁波与第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列辐射的圆极化电磁波旋向相同,导电环上的电流与第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列上的电流相位变化相同、且极化相同,使第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列在长方形导电接地层上的圆极化辐射更纯,一定程度上纠正了不对称环境对第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列圆极化的恶化,因此能降低第一天线阵列和第二天线阵列的轴比。
可以理解的是,在导电环设置在第一天线阵列背离基板的一侧(即导电环正对第一天线阵列)的实现方式中,导电环主要提高第一天线阵列的性能,在导电环设置在第二天线阵列背离基板的一侧(即导电环正对第二天线阵列)的实现方式中,导电环主要提高第二天线阵列的性能。

在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,第一天线阵列位于与导电接地层的几何中心上。如此设置,使得天线组件处于对称的环境中,可以提高天线组件的圆极化效果。
在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,第一天线阵列与导电接地层的几何中心间隔的设置。如此设置,天线组件的形状不规则,可以适应不规则的安装空间,以便于适配其他的设备安装空间,即提升了天线组件在非理想环境下的性能;另外,由于各第一天线枝节工作在差模模式,第一天线枝节的辐射能量较强,受不对称换环境的影响较小,仍可以保证天线组件的圆极化效果。
在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,天线组件还包括多个滤波电容,每一第二天线枝节的第二馈电端通过一个滤波电容与一个第一天线枝节的第一馈电端电耦合。如此设置,通过第一馈电端可以分别向第一天线枝节和第二天线枝节馈电,相应的,可以只设置第一馈电设备即可实现第一天线枝节和第二天线枝节的馈电,无需设置第二馈电设备,可以简化系统的结构。
在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,滤波电容的电容值可以为0.1pF-1pF(如0.1pF、0.5pF、1pF等)。
在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,第一天线阵列还包括:第一介电柱,第一介电柱设置在基板上,多个第一天线枝节和多个第二天线枝节均设置在第一介电柱的侧壁上。如此设置,可以提高天线组件的结构紧凑性,进一步减小了天线组件的体积和质量。
在可以包括上述实施例的一些实施例中,天线组件还包括导电板,导电板与基板平行且间隔的设置,第一天线阵列位于导电板和基板之间,导电板和第一天线阵列间隔的设置,导电板在基板上的投影位于多个第一天线枝节在基板上的投影围成的区域内;导电板上设置有多个条缝,每一条缝与一个第一天线枝节对应,第一天线枝节用于向导电板耦合信号。条缝在导电板上延伸,以使得条缝和其周围的导电板构成缝隙天线,各缝隙天线环绕预设直线等圆心角的设置。每一条缝与一个第一天线枝节的位置对应,第一天线枝节用于向导电板耦合信号;也就是说,每一第一天线枝节可以向与其对应的一个缝隙天线耦合信号。
通过上述设置,导电板中的缝隙天线与对应的第一天线枝节可以通过同一第一馈电端进行馈电,相应的,仅通过第一馈电设备即可实现对缝隙天线和第一天线枝节的馈电,无需设置第二馈电设备,简化了系统结构。
第二方面,本申请实施例还提供一种通信设备,包括外壳以及任一实施例中的天线组件,外壳围设成安装腔体,天线组件设置在安装腔体内。

在上述实现方式中,导电接地层101可以将第一天线枝节201发出的信号向远离基板10的方向反射,以使得信号可以集中在远离基板10方向上,以提高远离基板10方向的信号强度。
在一些实施例中,第一天线枝节201在基板10的一侧延伸,第一天线枝节201具有沿着延伸方向相对的两端,其中一端可以作为第一天线枝节201的第一馈电端,第一馈电端用于接收外界的馈电,一端可以作为第一天线枝节201的第一开放端。第一开放端与导电接地层101间隔的设置。也就是说,第一开放端并不直接与导电接地层101直接电连接,示例性的,第一开放端可以不与导电接地层101耦合,或者第一开放端通过电容与导电接地层101耦合。
请参照图1和图2,在上述实现方式中,天线组件还包括第一电容202,第一电容202为多个,每一第一电容202与一个第一天线枝节201的第一馈电端耦合;也就是说,通过第一电容202向对应的第一天线枝节201馈电。第一电容202可以调节第一天线枝节201上的电流分布,以使得第一天线枝节201在第一馈电端和第一开放端之间的电流为同向电流(电流同向分布),并且第一天线枝节201上的电流幅值由第一馈电端向其延伸方向的中部或大致中部逐渐增大,同时还可以使得第一天线枝节201上的电流幅值由第一开放端向其延伸方向的中部或大致中部逐渐增大,进而使得第一天线枝节201工作于差模(differential mode,简称DM)模式。在一个实施例中,通过第一电容202的设置,第一天线枝节201上的电流可以理解为是两端小,中间大的电流分布。在一个实施例中,第一天线枝节201的中部主要进行信号的发射和接收,第一天线枝节201中部的电流幅值较大,可以提高第一天线枝节201及天线组件的增益,进而提高了天线组件性能。
可以理解的是,当天线枝节中的电流分布为:电流同向分布,且中部具有一个电流大点,则可以认为天线枝节工作于差模模式(DM模式)。在一个具体的实施例中,工作于DM模式下的天线枝节上的电流为同向电流,且幅值由馈电端(例如,第一馈电端)向其中部逐渐增大,从其中部向其开放端(例如,第一开放端)逐渐减小;或者说,在一个具体的实施例中,工作于DM模式下的天线枝节上的电流为同向电流,且幅值由第一馈电端向其中部逐渐增大,并由第一开放端向其中部逐渐增大。
本申请实施例中,第一电容202的电容值可以为0.1pF-0.5pF,示例性的,第一电容202的电容值可以为0.1pF、0.25pF、0.5pF等。第一天线枝节201的谐振频率随着第一电容202的电容值增大而逐渐减小,通过使第一电容202的电容值为0.1pF-0.5pF,可以在保证第一天线枝节201工作于DM模式的同时,避免第一电容202的电容值过大导致的第一天线枝节201谐振频率过低。
可以理解的是,第一电容202可以包括集总电容和/或分布电容。集总电容指的是呈容性的元器件,例如电容元件;分布电容(或分布式电容)指的是两个导电件间隔一定间隙而形成的等效电容,相应的,可以在第一馈电端外侧间隔的设置有导电件,合理的设置第一馈电端和导电件之间的距离,可以使得第一馈电端和导电件形成等效电容(第一电容202)。

请参照图3,本申请实施例中,天线组件还可以包括第二电容203,第二电容203为多个,一个第一天线枝节201的第一开放端通过一个第二电容203与导电接地层101电耦合。如此设置,通过第二电容203可以降低与其连接的第一天线枝节201的谐振频率,进而可以减小第一天线枝节201的尺寸(沿延伸方向的长度),以便于实现天线组件的小型化。
在上述实现方式中,第二电容203的电容值可以为0.1pF-0.5pF,示例性的,第二电容203的电容值可以为0.1pF、0.25pF、0.5pF等。可以理解的是,第二电容203的电容值过大,会导致第一天线枝节201的阻抗匹配较为困难,通过使第二电容203的电容值为0.1pF-0.5pF,在保证第一天线枝节201工作在DM模式,并且第二电容203减小第一天线枝节201的尺寸的前提下,降低了第一天线枝节201的阻抗匹配难度。可以理解的是,第二电容203的结构可以与第一电容202的结构大致相同,在此不再赘述。
继续参照图3,在一些实施例中,天线组件还包括电感204,电感204为多个,每一第一电容202的一端与一个第一天线枝节201的第一馈电端电连接,每一第一电容202的另一端与一个电感204一端电连接,即每一第一馈电端对应的第一电容202和电感204串联,外界信号依次通过电感204和第一电容202后馈入到对应的第一馈电端内。通过上述设置,电感204可以降低与其对应的第一天线枝节201的谐振频率,进而可以减小第一天线枝节201的尺寸,以便于实现天线组件的小型化。
继续参照图1和图4,本申请实施例中,天线组件还包括第二馈源以及第二天线阵列30,第二天线阵列30包括多个第二天线枝节301,每一第二天线枝节301所在的平面与基板之间具有第二预设夹角,多个第二天线枝节301中的每一个包括第二馈电端,多个第二馈电端均与第二馈源耦合,第二天线枝节301用于接收第二馈源的信号以在第二工作频段辐射。示例性的,第二预设夹角可以为30°-150°(如30°、90°、150°等)。本申请实施例将以第二预设夹角为90°左右为例进行介绍,也就是说第二天线枝节301所在的平面与基板10大致垂直,可以理解的是,本申请实施例对此并不限制。在一个实施例中,大致垂直可以理解为,第二预设夹角为85°-95°的范围内。
在一些实施例中,各第二天线枝节301的结构和形状可以相同,多个第二天线枝节301可以环绕预设直线L等圆心角的设置,也就是说,多个第二天线枝节301中,任意相邻的两个第二天线枝节301上的同一位置与预设直线L的连线之间的夹角(圆心角)相等。示例性的,第二天线枝节301的数量可以为3-6个,如3个、4个,6个。在第二天线枝节301的数量为3个的实现方式中,各第二天线枝节301相对于预设直线L中心对称设置,并且各第二天线枝节301相对于预设直线L呈120°旋转对称设置;在第二天线枝节301的数量为4个的实现方式(如图4所示),各第二天线枝节301相对于预设直线L中心对称设置,并且各第二天线枝节301相对于预设直线L呈90°旋转对称设置;在第二天线枝节301的数量为6个的实现方式中,各第二天线枝节301相对于预设直线L中心对称设置,并且各第二天线枝节301相对于预设直线L呈60°旋转对称设置。

在上述实现方式中,相邻第二天线枝节301中信号的相位差相等,以使得第二天线阵列30产生圆极化信号,如此设置,使第二天线阵列30可以接收任意极化方向的信号,提高了天线组件的通用性。可以理解的是,可以根据第二天线枝节301的数量,合理的设置相邻第二天线枝节301的馈电信号相位差,以使得沿环绕预设直线L的方向,各第二天线枝节301的馈电信号幅度相等、并且馈电信号依次相差相同的相位差,以产生圆极化信号。示例性的,在第二天线枝节301的数量为3个的实现方式中,沿环绕预设直线L的方向,各第二天线枝节301的馈电信号幅度相等、并且相位依次相差120°。在第二天线枝节301的数量为4个的实现方式中,沿环绕预设直线L的方向,各第二天线枝节301的馈电信号幅度相等、并且相位依次相差90°。在第二天线枝节301的数量为6个的实现方式中,沿环绕预设直线L的方向,各第二天线枝节301的馈电信号幅度相等、并且相位依次相差60°。

在上述实现方式中,第一天线枝节201的工作频段(第一工作频段)和第二天线枝节301的工作段(第二工作频段)的频率不等,以使得第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30激励的谐振频率不等,即第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30覆盖的频段不同,以增大天线组件的覆盖频率,提高了天线组件的带宽。

继续参照图11,在一些实现方式中,第一天线阵列20位于导电接地层101的几何中心上,也就是说,第一天线阵列20的几何中心线(如预设直线L)与导电接地层101的几何中心重合或者具有较小的距离(如1mm-3mm),以使得第一天线阵列20设置在导电接地层101的中间位置。如此设置,使得天线组件处于对称的环境中,可以提高天线组件的圆极化效果。示例性的,导电接地层101可以呈正方形,相应的,正方形的几何中心为该正方形对角线的交点;导电接地层101也可以呈圆形,相应的,圆形的几何中心为该圆形的圆心。可以理解的是,在导电接地层101为不规则形状的实现方式中,其几何中心位于导电接地层101大致中间的位置,即该几何中心距离导电接地层101边缘的距离大致相等。
图12为导电接地层101呈正方形并且第一天线阵列20位于导电接地层101的几何中心上时,第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30在天顶方向±30°内的增益图(横坐标为频率GHz,纵坐标为增益),图中G1为第一天线阵列20对应的增益曲线,G2为第二天线阵列30对应的增益曲线。图13为第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴比图(横坐标为频率GHz,纵坐标为轴比),其中第一天线阵列20轴向(天顶方向)的轴比曲线为Z2,第二天线阵列30天顶方向的轴比图曲线为Z1,第一天线阵列20天顶方向±30°内的最大轴比曲线为Z4,第二天线阵列30天顶方向±30°内的最大轴比曲线为Z3。由图12和图13可知,在第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30工作在全球卫星导航系统频段时,第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30均具有较高的增益,同时第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30均具有较小的轴比,使得天线组件具有较高的定位精度。
在其他的实现方式中,第一天线阵列20可以与导电接地层101的几何中心间隔的设置(如图1所示),即第一天线阵列20的几何中心线(如预设直线L)与导电接地层101的几何中心具有较大的距离;例如,可以将第一天线阵列20设置在导电接地层101的靠近边缘或者靠近角落的位置。如此设置,天线组件的形状不规则,可以适应不规则的安装空间,以便于适配其他的设备安装空间,即提升了天线组件在非理想环境下的性能;另外,由于各第一天线枝节201工作在差模模式,第一天线枝节201的辐射能量较强,受不对称换环境的影响较小,仍可以保证天线组件的圆极化效果。示例性的,导电接地层101可以呈长方形,相应的,导电接地层101长边的长度可以为250mm-300mm(如250mm、270mm、300mm等),导电接地层101短边的长度可以为100mm-150mm(如100mm、120mm、150mm等),第一天线阵列的几何中心可以位于长方形对角线的交点(中心)的一侧,其中第一介电柱205与靠近其的导电接地层101侧边之间的距离e8、e9可以为10mm-15mm(如10mm、12.5mm、15mm等)。
图14为第一天线阵列20设置在导电接地层101的靠近边缘或者靠近角落的位置时天顶方向±30°内的圆极化增益图,图中G3为第一天线阵列20对应的增益曲线,G4为第二天线阵列30对应的增益曲线。图15为第一天线阵列20设置在导电接地层101的靠近边缘或者靠近角落的位置时天顶方向和天顶方向±30°内的最大轴比图,图中Z5为天顶方向第二天线阵列30的轴比曲线,Z6为天顶方向第一天线阵列20的轴比曲线,Z7为天顶方向±30°内第二天线阵列30的最大轴比曲线,Z8为天顶方向±30°内第一天线阵列20的最大轴比曲线。由图14和图15可知,第一天线阵列20设置在导电接地层101的靠近角落的位置时(非理想环境下),第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30仍具有较高的增益以及较小的轴比,天线组件的定位精度较高。
继续参照图1,本场景中,天线组件还包括导电环40,导电环40可以设置在第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30背离基板10的一侧,导电环40与第一天线阵列20之间间隔的设置,第一天线枝节201用于向导电环40耦合信号。导电环40的几何中心线可以与预设直线L共线设置,导电环40可以呈圆形或者正方形状等形状。
如图16,在使用时,导电环40上的电流方向与第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301的电流方向相同;如图17所示,图中第一行为第二天线阵列30向导电环40耦合信号时导电环40上的电流分布图,图中第二行为第一天线阵列20向导电环40耦合信号时导电环40上的电流分布图,由图17可知,导电环40上产生右旋圆极化信号。在远场性能上,导电环40可以起到同向的叠加效果,进而提高了第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的增益。另外,导电环40辐射的圆极化电磁波与第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30辐射的圆极化电磁波旋向相同,导电环40上的电流与第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30上的电流相位变化相同、且极化相同,使第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30在长方形导电接地层101上的圆极化辐射更纯,一定程度上纠正了不对称环境对第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30圆极化的恶化,因此能降低第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴比。
图18为第一天线阵列20与导电接地层101几何中心间隔设置,第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置,并且设置有导电环40和不设置导电环40的增益对比图(在天顶方向±30°内的最大增益),G5为不设置导电环40时第二天线阵列30的增益曲线,G6为不设置导电环40时第一天线阵列20的增益曲线,G7为设置导电环40时第二天线阵列30的增益曲线,G8为设置导电环40时第一天线阵列20的增益曲线,由图18可知,设置导电环40后第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的增益得到明显提高。
图19为第一天线阵列20与导电接地层101几何中心间隔设置,第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置,并且设置有导电环40和不设置导电环40的轴比对比图(天顶方向),Z9为设置有导电环40时第二天线阵列30的轴比图,Z10为设置有导电环40时第一天线阵列20的轴比图,Z11为不设置导电环40时第二天线阵列30的轴比图,Z12为不设置导电环40时第一天线阵列20的轴比图。图20为设置有导电环40和不设置导电环40的轴比对比图(天顶方向±30°内的最大轴比),Z13为设置有导电环40时第二天线阵列30的轴比图,Z14为设置有导电环40时第一天线阵列20的轴比图,Z15为不设置导电环40时第二天线阵列30的轴比图,Z16为不设置导电环40时第一天线阵列20的轴比图。由图19和图20可知,设置导电环40后第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴比得到明显降低。
继续参照图1和图2,在上述实现方式中,第一介电柱205可以在基板10上的投影可以呈正方形,相应的,导电环也可以呈正方形状,导电环40的边长可以不大于50mm(如导电环40的边长为50mm、45mm、20mm等),以保证导电环40上的电流与第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30上的电流方向相同。导电环40与第一天线阵列20之间的距离e2越大,导电环40对第一天线阵列20的轴比优化作用越小,示例性的,导电环40与第一天线枝节201之间的距离e2可以小于等于11mm(如11mm、5mm、3mm等),以使得第一天线阵列20的轴比小于4,进而使得天线组件具有较高的定位精度。其中,导电环40与第一天线枝节201之间的距离e2为导电环40与第一天线枝节201之间的最小距离。相类似的,导电环40与第二天线枝节301之间的最小距离可以小于等于11mm(如11mm、5mm、3mm等),以使得导电环40对第二天线阵列30也具有轴比优化作用。
可以理解的是,导电环40也可以设置在第二天线阵列30背离基板10的一侧(正对第二天线阵列30设置);或者,在第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30背离基板10的一侧均设置有导电环40,本场景对此不作限制。可以理解的是,在导电环40设置在第一天线阵列20背离基板10的一侧(即导电环40正对第一天线阵列20)的实现方式中,导电环40主要提高第一天线阵列20的性能,在导电环40设置在第二天线阵列30背离基板10的一侧(即导电环40正对第二天线阵列30)的实现方式中,导电环40主要提高第二天线阵列30的性能。
本场景中,天线组件还可以包括介质板,介质板与基板10平行且间隔的设置,导电环40设置在介质板上。如此设置,通过介质板可以实现导电环40的支撑和固定。示例性的,导电环40的材质可以包括铜、铝等金属,当然导电环40的材质也可以包括其他的非金属导电材质;在导电环40包括金属的实现方式中,可以通过电镀、沉积等方式形成在介质板上,当然也可以将导电环40贴附在介质板上;在导电环40包括非金属导电材质的实现方式中,可以通过涂布等方式形成在介质板上。
在天线组件设置在远程信息处理器上的实现方式中,远程信息处理器可以包括外壳,外壳围设成安装腔体,基板10、第一天线阵列20、第二天线阵列30均设置在安装腔体内;相应的介质板也可以设置在安装腔体内,并与外壳连接,以实现对介质板的固定。当然,在其他的实现方式中,导电环40可以直接设置在外壳上,此时不需设置介质板,可以减小远程信息处理的体积和质量。
场景二
本场景与场景一的不同之处在于,请参照图21和图22,各第二天线枝节301均设置在第一容置孔206内,各第二天线枝节301所在的平面相交于第一介电柱205的几何中心线。在第一介电柱205的几何中心线与预设直线L重合时,各第二天线枝节301向预设直线L延伸,即各第二天线枝节301向第一容置孔206的中部延伸,可以增大第二天线枝节301与第一介电柱205的侧壁之间的距离,进而增大第一天线枝节201与第二天线枝节301之间的距离,进而提高第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301之间的隔离度。
在一些实现方式中,第二天线阵列30包括设置在第一容置孔206内的多个介电板307,每一第二天线枝节301设置在一个介电板307上。通过介电板307可以实现对各第二天线枝节301的支撑和固定。

在上述实现方式中,每一第二天线枝节301与一个第一天线枝节201对应,相对应的第二天线枝节301和第一天线枝节201中,第二天线枝节301的第二馈电端远离第一天线枝节201设置,也就是说,各第二天线枝节301的第二馈电端均靠近预设直线L设置,如此设置,可以增大第二馈电端与对应的第一天线枝节201之间的距离,以进一步提高第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301之间的隔离度。
可以理解的是,相对应的第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301可以为所在平面垂直、并且相靠近的两个天线枝节。
如图23所示,本场景中,第一天线阵列20的结构可以与场景一中的第一天线阵列20的结构大致相同,第一天线枝节201中各节段的尺寸可以与场景一中不同。示例性的,第一天线枝节201的总长度为50mm-73mm(如50mm、62.7mm、73mm等)。示例性的,第一节段2011的长度d1可以为12mm-17mm(如12mm、15mm、17mm等),第二节段2012和第五节段2015的长度和d2可以为30mm-38mm(如30mm、34.5mm、38mm等),第三节段2013的长度d3可以为15mm-20mm(如15mm、18.5mm、20mm等),第四节段2014的长度d4可以为3mm-8mm(如3mm、4.7mm、8mm等)。
图24为第一天线枝节上的电流分布图,由图24可知,第一电容202可以使第一天线枝节201上的电流为同向电流,并且使第一节段2011的电流幅值小于第二节段2012的电流幅值,同时使得第四节段2014的电流幅值也小于第二节段2012上的电流幅值,即使得第一天线枝节201工作在差模模式。
请参照图25,第二天线枝节301结构可以包括第六节段3011、第七节段3012、以及第八节段3013,其中第六节段3011、第七节段3012以及第八节段3013依次连接,并且第六节段3011和第八节段3013位于第七节段3012和基板10之间。在一个实施例中,第二天线枝节301还包括第九节段3014,第九节段3014可以由第八节段3013末端连接延伸,并位于第六节段3011和第八节段3013之间。其中,第六节段3011和第八节段3013均与基板10平行,第七节段3012和第九节段3014位于第六节段3011和第八节段3013之间,第六节段3011远离基板10一端与第七节段3012靠近的一端连接,第七节段3012远离第六节段3011一端与第八节段3013远离基板10的一端连接,第八节段3013靠近基板的一端与第九节段3014远离第六节段3011的一端连接;其中第六节段3011靠近基板10的一端可以为第二馈电端。在一个实施例中,第八节段3013可以作为第二天线枝节301的第二开放端。在一个实施例中,第八节段3013靠近基板10的一端与第九节段3014远离第六节段3011的一端连接,相应的,第九节段3014远离第八节段3013的一端可以作为第二开放端,并且第二开放端与基板10上的导电接地层101间隔的设置。在一个实施例中,第二天线枝节301的第二开放端与基板10上的导电接地层101间隔的设置,并通过器件耦合。在一个实施例中,第二天线枝节301的第二开放端与基板10上的导电接地层101间隔的设置并且不通过器件耦合。其中,第七节段3012靠近第六节段3011的一端可以设置有向远离第六节段3011延伸的第十节段3015,第十节段3015可以用于对第二天线枝节301进行检测。
在一些实施例中,第二天线枝节301的总长度为40mm-62mm(如40mm、41.5mm、61.5mm、62mm等)。示例性的,第九节段3014的长度d7可以为1mm-5mm(如1mm、3mm、5mm等),第八节段3013的长度d8可以为19mm-22mm(如19mm、20.5mm、22mm等),第七节段3012和第十节段3015的长度和d6可以为15mm-20mm(如15mm、17.5mm、20mm等)。
在上述实现方式中,第三电容302可以设置在第六节段3011靠近基板10的一端和基板10之间,并且第三电容302可以位于介电板307上,第三电容302的一端与第二馈电端电连接,第三电容302的另一端可以用于连接第二馈电设备。在第二天线阵列30包括第四电容305的实现方式中,第四电容305可以设置在第九节段3014和基板10之间,第四电容305的一端与第二开放端电连接,第四电容305的另一端可以与导电接地层101电连接。
图26为第二天线枝节301上的电流分布图,由图26可知,第三电容302使得第六节段3011上电流幅值小于第七节段3012上的电流幅值,同时第九节段3014上的电流幅值小于第八节段3013上的电流幅值,进而使得第二天线枝节301为差模天线。
图27为第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30工作在全球卫星导航系统频段时的有源S11曲线图,其中第一天线阵列20的第一工作频段低于第二天线阵列30的第二工作频段(例如:第一天线阵列20的第一工作频段可以为1.22GHz,第二天线阵列30的第一工作频段可以为1.58GHz),其中曲线B1为第一天线阵列20对应的有源S11曲线图,曲线B2为第二天线阵列30对应的有源S11曲线图。此时没第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30可以同时分别激励起两个差模谐振模式,由图27中可以看出,此时的天线组件可以覆盖全球卫星导航系统的L1、L2、L5、B2、B1频段。
可以理解的是,在其他的实现方式中,第一天线阵列20的第一工作频段可以高于第二天线阵列30的第二工作频段,本场景对第一天线阵列20的第一工作频段和第二天线阵列30的第二工作频段的大小关系不作限制。
如图28所示,在一些实现方式中,第一天线阵列20可以与导电接地层101的几何中心间隔的设置,例如,可以将,第一天线阵列20设置在导电接地层101的靠近边缘或者靠近角落的位置。如此设置,天线组件的形状不规则,可以适应不规则的安装空间,以便于适配其他的设备安装空间。示例性的,导电接地层101可以呈长方形,导电接地层101长边的长度可以为250mm-300mm(如250mm、270mm、300mm等),导电接地层101短边的长度可以为100mm-150mm(如100mm、120mm、150mm等)。相应的,第一天线阵列20的几何中心线可以位于长方形对角线的交点(几何中心)的一侧,使得第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置,其中第一介电柱205与靠近其的导电接地层101侧边之间的距离e8、e9可以为10mm-15mm(如10mm、12.5mm、15mm等)。
图29为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的增益图,图中G1为第二天线阵列30对应的增益曲线,G2为第一天线阵列20对应的增益曲线。由图29中可以看出,在L1、L2、L5、B2、B1频段内第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30均具有较高的增益,以使得天线组件具有较高的定位精度。
图30为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴向(天顶方向)轴比图,图中Z1为第二天线阵列30对应的轴比图,Z2为第一天线阵列20对应的轴比图。图31为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的天顶方向±30°内的最大轴比图,图中Z4为第二天线阵列30对应的最大轴比图,Z3为第一天线阵列20对应的最大轴比图。由图30和图31可知,在L1、L2、L5、B2、B1频段内第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴比均较小,以保证天线组件的性能。
本场景中,天线组件也可以包括导电环40,导电环40可以设置在第一天线阵列20背离基板10的一侧,以提高天线组件的增益、并降低天线组件的轴比,进而提高天线组件的性能。
本场景中,向第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30馈入信号的馈源可以为同一馈源也可以为不同的馈源,第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30馈电可以与场景一大致相同,在此不再赘述。

可以理解的是,第一电容202可以设置在第一介电柱205上,并且,第一电容202可以设置在第一馈电端和基板10之间,以提高天线组件的结构紧凑性。
图34示出了第一天线枝节201上的电流分布图,图中表示电流的箭头密度与电流幅值大小正相关,由图34可知,第一电容202可以调节第一天线枝节201上的电流分布,以使得第一天线枝节201上的电流为同向电流,并且第一节段2011和导电片207上的电流幅值较小,第二节段2012上的电流幅值较大,进而使第一天线枝节201工作在DM模式。
继续参照图33,在天线组件包括第二天线阵列30的实现方式中,多个第二天线枝节301设置在第一介电柱205的侧壁上,也就是说,第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301均设置在第一介电柱205的侧壁上,如此设置,可以提高天线组件的结构紧凑性,进一步减小了天线组件的体积和质量。
第二天线枝节301的数量可以与第一天线枝节201的数量相同,并且每一第二天线枝节301与一个第一天线枝节201对应。在第一介电柱205呈长方体状的实现方式中,每一第二天线枝节301设置在一个侧面上。
天线组件还包括多个滤波电容306,每一第二天线枝节301的第二馈电端通过一个滤波电容306与第一天线枝节201的馈电端电耦合,即第二天线枝节301通过第一馈电端馈电。示例性的,在第一天线枝节201包括第一节段2011的实现方式中,第二天线枝节301的第二馈电端可以通过对应的滤波电容306与第一节段2011连接。
在一些实现方式中,第二天线枝节301可以包括依次连接第六节段3011、以及第七节段3012,第六节段3011和第七节段3012可以设置在第二节段2012和基板10之间,并且,第七节段3012位于第六节段3011和基板10之间,第六节段3011沿平行于基板10的方向延伸,第七节段3012沿平行与预设直线L的方向延伸,第六节段3011靠近第一节段2011的一端可以为第二天线枝节301的第二馈电端,第二馈电端通过第一滤波电容306与第一节段2011连接,第六节段3011远离第一节段2011的一端与第七节段3012背离基板10一端连接。在一些实施例中,第二天线枝节301还可以包括第八节段3013,第八节段3013与第七节段3012的末端连接,第八节段3013位于第七节段3012和基板10之间,并沿平行于基板10方向向第一节段2011延伸。在一些实施例中,第七节段3012的末端可以为第二天线枝节301的第二开放端。在第二天线枝节301包括第八节段3013的实现方式中,第八节段3013可以为第二天线枝节301的第二开放端。通过上述设置,第二天线枝节301向内弯折设置,可以在保证第二天线枝节301具有一定长度的同时,减小第二天线枝节301占用的空间,以减小第一介电柱205的体积,进而便于实现天线组件的小型化。
在上述实现方式中,第二天线枝节301的总长度为45mm-55mm(如45mm、48mm、55mm等)。
示例性的,第六节段3011的长度d5可以为30mm-40mm(如30mm、34.4mm、40mm等),第七节段3012的长度d6可以为5mm-10mm(如5mm、8mm、10mm等),第八节段3013的长度d8可以为4mm-10mm(如4mm、6mm、10mm等)。
本场景中,滤波电容306的电容值可以为0.1pF-1pF(如0.1pF、0.5pF、1pF等),通过滤波电容306可以对信号进行过滤,进而在通过第一馈电端向第一天线枝节201馈电时,进入第二天线枝节301内的电流减少,在通过第一馈电端向第二天线枝节301馈电时,滤波电容306可以将绝大部分电流输送至第二天线枝节301。也就是说,通过第一馈电端可以分别向第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301馈电,相应的,可以只设置第一馈电设备即可实现第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301的馈电,无需设置第二馈电设备,即向第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30馈入信号的馈源为同一馈源,可以简化系统的结构。
图35示出了第二天线枝节301上的电流分布图,图中表示电流的箭头密度与电流幅值大小正相关,由图35可知,通过第一馈电端向第二天线枝节301馈电时,第一电容202可以调节第二天线枝节301上的电流分布,以使得第二天线枝节301上电流为同向电流,并且向靠近第七节段3012的方向第六节段3011上的电流幅值逐渐增大,第八节段3013和第七节段3012向靠近第六节段3011的方向上电流幅值逐渐增大,进而使第二天线枝节301工作在DM模式。
图36为第一天线阵列20工作在全球卫星导航系统频段时的有源S11曲线图,其中第一天线枝节201的第一工作频段可以小于第二天线枝节301的第二工作频段,此时第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30可以分别激励起两个差模谐振模式,由图36中可以看出,此时的天线组件可以覆盖全球卫星导航系统的L1、L5、B2、B1频段。
继续参照图32,本场景中,第一天线阵列20可以与导电接地层101的几何中心间隔的设置,也就是说,第一天线阵列20设置在导电接地层101的靠近边缘或者靠近角落的位置。如此设置,天线组件的形状不规则,可以适应不规则的安装空间,以便于适配其他的设备安装空间。示例性的,导电接地层101可以呈长方形,导电接地层101长边的长度可以为250mm-300mm(如250mm、270mm、300mm等),导电接地层101短边的长度可以为100mm-150mm(如100mm、120mm、150mm等)。相应的,第一天线阵列20的几何中心可以位于长方形对角线的交点(中心)的一侧,使得第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置,其中第一介电柱205与靠近其的导电接地层101侧边之间的距离e8、e9可以为10mm-15mm(如10mm、12.5mm、15mm等)。
图37为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20的增益图(天顶方向±30°内最大增益),由图中可以看出,在L1、L5、B2、B1频段内第一天线阵列20具有较高的增益,以使得天线组件具有较高的定位精度。图38为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴向(天顶方向)轴比图,图中Z1为第一天线阵列20对应的轴比曲线,Z2为第二天线阵列30对应的轴比曲线。图39为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的天顶方向±30°内的最大轴比图,图中Z3为第一天线阵列20对应的最大轴比曲线,Z4为第二天线阵列30对应的最大轴比曲线。由图37-图39可知,在L1、L5、B2、B1频段内第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴比均较小,以保证天线组件的性能。
场景四
请参照图40和图41,本场景中的第一天线阵列20与场景二中的第一天线阵列20结构可以大致相同,不同之处在于,第一天线枝节201的总长度为50mm-80mm(如50mm、54.7mm、74.7mm、80mm等),示例性的,第一节段2011的长度d1可以为15mm-20mm(如15mm、17mm、20mm等),第二节段2012和第五节段2015的长度和d2可以为30mm-40mm(如30mm、34.5mm、40mm等),第三节段2013的长度d3可以为15mm-20mm(如15mm、18.5mm、20mm等),第四节段2014的长度d4可以为1mm-10mm(如1mm、4.7mm、10mm等)。
第一节段2011背离第二节段2012的一端可以为第一天线枝节201的第一馈电端,第一电容202与第一馈电端电连接,通过第一电容202向第一馈电端馈电。图42示出了第一天线枝节201上的电流分布图,图中表示电流的箭头密度与电流幅值大小正相关,由图42可知,第一电容202可以调节第一天线枝节201上的电流分布,以使得第一天线枝节201上的电流为同向电流,并且第一节段2011和第四节段2014上的电流幅值小于第二节段2012上的电流幅值,进而使第一天线枝节工作在DM模式。
请参照图40和图43,本场景中,天线组件还包括导电板308,导电板308与基板10平行且间隔的设置,第一天线阵列20设置在导电板308和基板10之间,导电板308在基板10上的投影位于多个第一天线枝节201在基板10上的投影围成的区域内。示例性的,导电板308可以呈正方向、圆形等形状,导电板308的材质可以包括铜、铝等金属。导电板308与第一天线阵列20之间间隔的设置,示例性的,导电板308与第一天线阵列20之间的距离e3(如图41所示)可以为1mm-5mm(如1mm、2.5mm、5mm等)。
导电板308上设置有多个条缝309,各条缝309贯穿导电板308,每一条缝309与一个第一天线枝节201对应,也就是说,各条缝309环绕预设直线L等圆心角的设置。条缝309在导电板308上延伸,以使得条缝309和其周围的导电板308构成缝隙天线,各缝隙天线环绕预设直线L等圆心角的设置。每一条缝309与一个第一天线枝节201的位置对应,示例性的,每一条缝309与一个第一天线枝节201靠近,以使得第一天线枝节201可以向导电板308耦合信号;也就是说,每一第一天线枝节201可以向与其对应的一个缝隙天线耦合信号,以使得各缝隙天线产生圆极化信号,即导电板308产生圆极化信号。
通过上述设置,导电板308中的缝隙天线与对应的第一天线枝节201可以通过同一第一馈电端进行馈电,相应的,仅通过第一馈电设备即可实现对缝隙天线和第一天线枝节201的馈电,无需设置第二馈电设备,即向第一天线阵列20和缝隙天线馈入信号的馈源为同一馈源,简化了系统结构。
继续参照图43,在上述实现方式中,条缝309可以包括由靠近预设直线L向外依次连接的第一缝体3091、第二缝体3092以及第三缝体3093,第一缝体3091和第三缝体3093与对应的第一介电柱205侧壁垂直设置,第二缝体3092位于第一缝体3091和第三缝体3093之间,并且第二缝体3092与对应的第一介电柱205侧壁平行设置,第三缝体3093的末端与导电板308外部连通。示例性的,条缝309的宽度e4可以为0.5mm-1.5mm(如0.5mm、1mm、1.5mm等),第一缝体3091的长度e5可以为3mm-8mm(如3mm、5mm、8mm等),第二缝体3092的长度e6可以为 9mm-13mm(如9mm、11mm、13mm等),第三缝体3093的长度e7可以为25mm-35mm(如25mm、29.5mm、35mm等)。
通过上述设置,条缝309在导电板308上弯折延伸,可以在保证条缝309具有足够长度的同时,减小条缝309所占用的空间。
上述实现方式中,可以通过电镀、沉积等方式形成导电板308,并且在形成导电板308的同时形成为与导电板308上的条缝309。当然,也可以在形成导电板308之后通过蚀刻的方式去除部分材料,以形成条缝309。
本场景中,第一天线阵列20的第一工作频段可以低于各缝隙天线的工作频率,图44示出了第一天线枝节201向导电板308上耦合信号时,各缝隙天线上的电流分布图,图中表示电流的箭头密度与电流幅值大小正相关,由图44可知,条缝309由内到外电流幅值逐渐减小,进而使各缝隙天线工作在共模模式(common mode,简称CM模式)。由图42和图44可知,第一天线阵列20和各缝隙天线的极化方向相同,与第一天线阵列20和各缝隙天线的极化方向不同相比,第一天线阵列20和各缝隙天线的极化方向相同使得天线组件具有更高的增益和更低的轴比,进而提高了天线组件的性能。
可以理解的是,共模天线中,天线枝节中的电流分布为:电流方向相同,由馈电端向接地端电流幅值逐渐减小。
图45为第一天线阵列20工作在全球卫星导航系统频段时的有源S11曲线图,其中第一天线枝节201的第一工作频段小于各缝隙天线的工作频率,在各工作频率下,第一天线阵列20可以激励起差模谐振,与此同时各缝隙天线激励起共模谐振,由图中可以看出,此时的天线组件可以覆盖全球卫星导航系统的L1、L5、L2、B2、B1频段。
继续参照图40,本场景中,导电接地层101可以呈长方形,导电接地层101长边的长度可以为250mm-300mm(如250mm、271mm、300mm等),导电接地层101短边的长度可以为100mm-150mm(如100mm、120mm、150mm等)。相应的,第一天线阵列20可以与长方形对角线的交点(几何中心)间隔的设置,使得第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置,其中第一介电柱205与靠近其的导电接地层101侧边之间的距离e8、e9可以为10mm-15mm(如10mm、12.5mm、15mm等)。
图46为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20和各缝隙天线的增益图(天顶方向±30°内),图中G1为第一天线阵列20的增益曲线,G2为缝隙天线的增益曲线,由图中可以看出,在L1、L5、L2、B2、B1频段内第一天线阵列20和各缝隙天线均具有较高的增益,以使得天线组件具有较高的定位精度。
图47为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20的轴向(天顶方向)轴比图,图48为第一天线阵列20靠近长方形的导电接地层101一个顶点设置时第一天线阵列20在天顶方向±30°内的最大轴比图,由图47和图48可知,在L1、L5、L2、B2、B1频段内第一天线阵列20的轴比较小,使得天线组件具有较高的性能。
场景五
请参照图49,本场景中,第二天线阵列30包括第二介电柱303,第二介电柱303设置在基板10上,第二介电柱303与基板10连接;第二介电柱303的几何中心线可以与预设直线L共线设置,多个第二天线枝节301设置在第二介电柱303的侧壁上。示例性的,第二介电柱303可以呈长方体状,第二介电柱303在基板10上的投影可以呈正方形,相应的,第二介电柱303的侧壁包括4个侧面,每一侧面与正方形的一个边对应,第二天线枝节301可以为四个,每一第二天线枝节301设置在一个侧面上。

如图49所示,第一横向枝节3017和第二横向枝节3018可以均向馈电枝节3016弯折,以在保证第一横向枝节3017和第二横向枝节3018具有足够长度的同时,减小第二天线枝节301占用的空间,以减小天线组件的体积。
第二介电柱303上设置有第二容置孔304,第二容置孔304的中心线与预设直线L共线,第一天线阵列20设置在第二容置孔304内,如此设置,可以降低天线组件的体积,以便于实现天线组件的小型化。其中,第一天线阵列20可以包括第一介电柱205,第一介电柱205设置在第二容置孔304内,第一介电柱205的几何中心线与预设直线L共线,多个第一天线枝节201设置在第一介电柱205的侧壁上。通过上述设置,第一介电柱205设置在第二容置孔304内,可以减小避免第一天线阵列20占用空间,进而减小天线组件的体积。另外,第一介电柱205的中心线与预设直线L共线,使得第一介电柱205的侧壁和第二介电柱303的侧壁之间的距离处处相等,以使得各第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301之间的距离相等。
在上述实现方式中,第一介电柱205上设置有第一容置孔206,第一容置孔206的中心线与预设直线L共线,通过设置第一容置孔206,可以减小第一介电柱205的质量,进而减小了天线组件的质量。可以理解的是,未被第一天线枝节201覆盖的第一介电柱205侧壁可以镂空设置,可以进一步减小天线组件的质量。
本场景中,第一介电柱205可以呈长方体状,并且第一介电柱205在基板10上的投影呈正方形,相应的,第一介电柱205的侧壁具有四个侧面,每一侧面与正方形的一个边对应,每一第一天线枝节201设置在一个从侧面上。第一介电柱205的每一侧面与一个第二介电柱303的一侧面对应,以使得每一第一天线枝节201与一个第二天线枝节301对应。
在上述实现方式中,第一天线枝节201可以包括第一节段2011、第二节段2012以及第三节段2013,第一节段2011和第三节段2013均与预设直线L平行设置,第二节段2012位于第一节段2011和第三节段2013之间,第二节段2012与预设直线L垂直设置,其中第一节段2011靠近基板10的一端可以为第一天线枝节201的第一馈电端,第一电容202与第一馈电端连接;第一节段2011远离基板10的一端与第二节段2012的一端连接,第二节段2012远离第一节段2011的一端与第三节段2013远离基板10一端连接,第三节段2013靠近基板10的一端与导电接地层101间隔的设置,并且第三节段2013靠近基板10的一端为第一天线枝节201的第一开放端。
本场景中,第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301的工作频率不等,示例性的,第一天线枝节201的第一工作频段可以高于第二天线枝节301的第二工作频段,当然,第一天线枝节201的第一工作频段也可以低于第二天线枝节301的第二工作频段。
本场景中,天线组件还可以包括导电环40,导电环40可以设置在第一天线阵列20背离基板10的一侧,导电环40与第一天线阵列20之间间隔的设置,第一天线枝节201用于向导电环40耦合信号。在使用时,导电环40内的感应电流方向与第一天线枝节201和第二天线枝节301的电流方向相同,在远场性能上起到同向的叠加效果,进而提高了第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的增益。另外,导电环40辐射的圆极化电磁波与第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30辐射的圆极化电磁波旋向相同(例如均为右旋圆极化电磁波),导电环40上的电流与第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30上的电流相位变化相同、且极化相同,使第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30在长方形导电接地层101上的圆极化辐射更纯,一定程度上纠正了不对称环境(预设直线L位于导电接地层101中心一侧)对第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30圆极化的恶化,因此能降低第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30的轴比。
在其他的实现方式中,导电环40也可以设置在第二天线阵列30背离基板10的一侧;或者,在第一天线阵列20和第二天线阵列30背离基板10的一侧均设置有导电环40,本场景对此不作限制。可以理解的是,在导电环40设置在第一天线阵列20背离基板10的一侧(即导电环40正对第一天线阵列20)的实现方式中,导电环40主要提高第一天线阵列20的性能,在导电环40设置在第二天线阵列30背离基板10的一侧(即导电环40正对第二天线阵列30)的实现方式中,导电环40主要提高第二天线阵列30的性能。
本申请的各个实施例中,第一天线阵列20可以位于导电接地层101的几何中心上,即第一天线阵列20位于导电接地层101的中部,以便于应用在对称环境中。或者,第一天线阵列20与导电接地层101的几何中心间隔的设置,即第一天线阵列20位于导电接地层101边缘或者角落,以便于应用在非对称环境中;由于第一天线阵列20工作在差模模式下,其对非对称环境友好,仍然可以实现较好的圆极化,进而保证天线组件具有较好的性能。
