DETAILED DESCRIPTION



[0008] Technical solutions according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0009] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic device. The electronic device may be a device capable of transmitting a radio-frequency signal such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, etc.

[0010] As illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0011] The electronic device 100 includes a circuit board 10, an antenna apparatus 20, a battery 30, and a housing 40.

[0012] The housing 40 is configured to define an outer contour of the electronic device 100, for accommodating electronic elements and functional components of the electronic device 100 while sealing and protecting the electronic elements and functional components inside the electronic device 100.

[0013] The circuit board 10 is mounted inside the housing 40. The circuit board 10 can serve as a mainboard of the electronic device 100. The circuit board 10 has a ground point disposed thereon to ground the circuit board 10. The circuit board 10 may be integrated with one, two or more of functional components such as a motor, a microphone, a loudspeaker, a receiver, an earphone interface, a universal serial bus interface (USB interface), a camera, a distance sensor, an ambient light sensor, a gyroscope, and a processor.

[0014] The battery 30 is mounted inside the housing 40 and connected to the circuit board 10 to enable the battery 30 to supply power to the electronic device 100. The circuit board 10 may has a power management circuit disposed thereon. The power management circuit is configured to distribute a voltage provided by the battery 30 to the respective electronic elements in the electronic device 100.

[0015] The antenna apparatus 20 is mounted inside the housing 40 and electrically connected to the circuit board 10. The antenna apparatus 20 can be configured to transmit the radio-frequency signal, for implementing a wireless communication function of the electronic device 100.

[0016] As illustrated in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a first schematic structural diagram of an antenna apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0017] The antenna apparatus 20 includes a first radiator 21 and a second radiator 22.

[0018] The first radiator 21 is grounded. The first radiator 21 is made of a metallic material, such as magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy. The first radiator 21 can be configured to transmit the radio-frequency signal.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first radiator 21 is of a symmetrical structure and includes a plurality of end portions. The plurality of end portions may be arranged at positions symmetrically distributed along a periphery of the first radiator 21. For example, when the first radiator 21 is in a cruciform, the first radiator 21 has four end portions; and when the first radiator 21 is in a herringbone shape, the first radiator 21 has three ends.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first radiator 21 and the circuit board 10 can be disposed in parallel, and a distance between the first radiator 21 and the circuit board 10 can be smaller than or equal to 5 mm. By limiting the distance, performance of the antenna apparatus 20 will not be affected by other conductive elements.

[0021] The second radiator 22 is made of a metallic material, such as magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy. The second radiator 22 can also be configured to transmit the radio-frequency signal. The second radiator 22 is formed by connecting metallic strips, for example, by welding or bending the metallic strips.

[0022] A plurality of second radiators 22 may be provided, and the plurality of second radiators 22 is symmetrically distributed along the periphery of the first radiator 21.

[0023] A first gap 25 is defined between the first radiator 21 and the second radiator 22. A width of the first gap 25 can satisfy that the first radiator 21 is electrically connected to the second radiator 22 through an electromagnetic coupling. For example, the width of the first gap 25 may be 0.5 mm, 1 mm, or 1.5 mm, etc.

[0024] In some embodiments, the number of the second radiators 22 is identical to the number of the end portions of the first radiators 21. For example, the first radiator 21 has four end portions, the antenna apparatus 20 has four second radiators 22, and each second radiator 22 is electrically connected to one end portion of the first radiator 21 through the electromagnetic coupling of the first gap 25.

[0025] It can be understood that, the electromagnetic coupling is generated due to mutual inductance between the first radiator 21 and the second radiator 22. Thus, a current change of one radiator affects another radiator through the mutual inductance, an input and output of the radiator closely cooperate and affect one another, and the electromagnetic coupling is generated between the second radiator 22 and the first radiator 21 through interaction, thereby realizing the electrical connection.

[0026] Each second radiator 22 is configured to transmit a radio-frequency signal of a first frequency band, a mode of which is a quarter wavelength. For example, the radio-frequency signal of the first frequency band may be a 5G radio-frequency signal of a N78 frequency band. The N78 frequency band has a frequency ranging from 3.4 GHz to 3.6 GHz. It can be understood that when the plurality of second radiators 22 is provided, each second radiator 22 can transmit the radio-frequency signal of the first frequency band, and thus the plurality of second radiators 22 can transmit a plurality of radio-frequency signals of the first frequency band, thereby enhancing an intensity of the radio-frequency signals of the first frequency band. For example, when four second radiators are provided, 4*4 multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) transmission of the radio-frequency signals of the first frequency band can be formed.

[0027] The plurality of second radiators 22 and the first radiator 21 are configured to jointly transmit a radio-frequency signal of a second frequency band, a mode of which is a five-fourths wavelength. For example, the radio-frequency signal of the second frequency band may be the 5G radio-frequency signal of an N79 frequency band. The N79 frequency band has a frequency ranging from 4.8 GHz to 4.9 GHz.

[0028] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish similar objects, rather than indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features.

[0029] In the antenna apparatus 20 provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the antenna apparatus 20 includes the first radiator 21 and the plurality of second radiators 22; each second radiator 22 is configured to transmit the radio-frequency signal of the first frequency band, and the plurality of second radiators 22 and the first radiator 21 are configured to jointly transmit the radio-frequency signal of the second frequency band. In this way, the plurality of second radiators 22 can be shared, enabling the antenna apparatus 20 to transmit at least two kinds of radio-frequency signals, thereby reducing the number of antennas of the electronic device and reducing the layout space occupied by the antennas of the electronic device.

[0030] In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a second schematic structural diagram of an antenna apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0031] The antenna apparatus 20 further includes a capacitor 23, and the capacitor 23 is grounded.

[0032] The first radiator 21 has a through hole defined thereon, and the capacitor 23 is disposed in the through hole. A second gap 24 is defined between the capacitor 23 and the first radiator 21. The first radiator 21 is electrically connected to the capacitor 23 through an electromagnetic coupling by means of the second gap 24.

[0033] The through hole may be of any shape suitable for an industrial design, such as a circle, a square, or an ellipse. The through hole is disposed at a central position of the first radiator 21.

[0034] A width of the second gap 24 is required to satisfy that the first radiator 21 and the capacitor 23 can electromagnetically couple and thus they can be electrically connected to each other. For example, the width of the second gap 24 may be 0.5 mm, 1 mm, or 1.5 mm, etc.

[0035] Due to a filtering characteristic of the capacitor 23, an isolation degree of each of the second radiators 22 for transmitting the first frequency band can be enhanced. It can be understood that since the plurality of second radiators 22 is at a rather close distance, the plurality of second radiators 22 may affect each other, which may reduce an efficiency of each second radiator 22 in terms of transmitting the radio-frequency signal of first frequency band. However, the capacitor 23 has the filtering effect, and thus the capacitor 23 can enhance the isolation degree between the plurality of second radiators 22, thereby increasing the efficiency of each second radiator 22 in terms of transmitting the radio-frequency signal of the first frequency band.

[0036] In some embodiments, each end portion of the first radiator 21 is equidistant from the through hole defined on the first radiator 21 and electromagnetically coupled to one second radiator 22 by means of the first gap 25. It can be understood that, the through hole is equidistant from each second radiator 22, such that the capacitor 23 can enhance the isolation degree between the plurality of second radiators 22 for transmitting the radio-frequency signals of the first frequency band to the same extent.

[0037] Each second radiator 22 includes a first radiation segment 221, a second radiation segment 225, and a third radiation segment 223, which are sequentially connected. For example, the third radiation segment 223 has a first end connected to the first radiation segment 221 and a second end connected to the second radiation segment 225.

[0038] The plurality of first radiation segments 221 is electrically connected to the plurality of end portions of the first radiator 21 through the electromagnetic coupling by means of the first gap 25. For example, four first radiation segments 221 are provided, the first radiation segment 21 has four end portions, and each first radiation segment 221 is electrically connected to one end portion of the first radiator 21 by means of the first gap 25.

[0039] In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a third schematic structural diagram of an antenna apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0040] The second radiator 22 includes a plurality of third radiator segments 223 sequentially connected to form a first end and a second end. For example, the second radiator 22 includes two third radiator segments 223, and the two third radiator segments 223 are sequentially connected to each other and form the first end and the second end. The first end is connected to the first radiator segment 221, and the second end is connected to the second radiator segment 225, thereby jointly forming the second radiator 22.

[0041] A length of the second radiator 22 may increase or decrease with an increase or decrease in the number of the third radiation segments 223. Furthermore, due to different connection manners of the third radiation segments 223, e.g., a bending connection, a shape of the second radiator 22 may change accordingly, and thus an overall shape of the antenna apparatus 20 may also change.

[0042] The length of the antennas of the same structure may increase as an operation frequency decreases and the wavelength increases. Therefore, the length of the second radiator 22 may be appropriately adjusted based on an applicable resonant frequency.

[0043] In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a fourth schematic structural diagram of an antenna apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0044] The second radiator 22 of the antenna apparatus 20 may only include the first radiation segment 221 and the second radiation segment 225, without including the third radiation segment 223 in the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0045] The first radiation segment 221 and the second radiation segment 225 are connected and perpendicular to each other.

[0046] One end of the first radiation segment 221 is electrically connected to the second radiator 22 through the electromagnetic coupling by means of the first gap 25, and the other end of the first radiation segment 221 is directly connected to one end of the second radiation segment 225.

[0047] As illustrated in FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a fifth schematic structural diagram of an antenna apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0048] The antenna apparatus 20 further includes a feed source 23 configured to generate a radio-frequency signal.

[0049] Each second radiator 22 is electrically connected to the feed source 23. Therefore, the feed source 23 can feed the radio-frequency signals to each second radiator 22, and each second radiator 22 can radiate the radio-frequency signals outwards, thereby transmitting the radio-frequency signals of the first frequency band. The he plurality of second radiators 22 and the first radiator 21 can jointly radiate the radio-frequency signals of the second frequency band.

[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a sixth schematic structural diagram of an antenna apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] The antenna apparatus 20 further includes a plurality of tuning circuits 26, and each tuning circuit 26 is grounded. The number of the tuning circuits 26 is identical to the number of the second radiators 22. Each second radiator 22 is connected to one of the tuning circuits 26.

[0052] The tuning circuit 26 is composed of one or more tuning circuit elements which enable the tuning circuit 26 to have a characteristic of impedance adjustment, thereby adjusting an electromagnetic wave frequency radiated by the antenna apparatus 20. For example, the elements of the tuning circuit 26 may be a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a switch, etc.

[0053] As illustrated in FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a seventh schematic structural diagram of an antenna apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0054] The antenna apparatus 20 further includes a plurality of third radiators 26.

[0055] The number of the plurality of third radiators 26 is identical to the number of the plurality of second radiators 22. Each third radiator 26 has one end connected to one second radiator 22, and another end grounded.

[0056] Each of the second radiators 22 and one of the third radiators 26 are configured to jointly transmit a radio-frequency signal of a third frequency band. For example, the radio-frequency signal of the third frequency band may be an N41 frequency band, where the N41 frequency band has a frequency ranging from 2.5 GHz to 2.69 GHz.

[0057] As illustrated in FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of a circuit board of an electronic device according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0058] The antenna apparatus 20 further includes a plurality of first elastic sheets 29 and a plurality of second elastic sheets 27. The plurality of first elastic sheets 29 and the plurality of second elastic sheets 27 are arranged on the circuit board 10.

[0059] The first elastic sheets 29 and the second elastic sheets 27 are made of a metallic material, for example, the magnesium alloy or the aluminum alloy.

[0060] Each first elastic sheet 29 is electrically connected to the ground point on the circuit board 10, and each second elastic sheet 27 is electrically connected to the feed source 23. In addition, each first elastic sheet 29 is connected to the first radiator 21 to ground the first radiator 21. Each second elastic sheet 27 is connected to one of second radiators 22, such that the plurality of second radiators 22 can be electrically connected to the feed source 23.

[0061] In some embodiments, a plurality of third radiators 26 is provided, and each third radiator 26 may also be electrically connected to the ground point on the circuit board 10.

[0062] The first elastic sheet 29 and the second elastic sheet 27 may have any shape suitable for connecting the antenna apparatus 20 and the circuit board 10, for example, a circle, a square, or a triangle.

[0063] Since the first elastic sheet 29 and the second elastic sheet 27 are conductive and elastic, on one hand, the first elastic sheet 29 and the second elastic sheet 27 can have a function of the electrical connection, and on the other hand, the first elastic sheet 29 and the second elastic sheet 27 have a shock absorption function for protecting parts.

[0064] The first elastic sheet 29 and the second elastic sheet 27 can be easily connected to the circuit board 10. For example, the first elastic sheet 29 and the second elastic sheet 27 may be directly welded on the circuit board 10.

[0065] As illustrated in FIG. 10, FIG. 10 is a curve of an S parameter of an antenna apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0066] When the antenna apparatus 20 operates, two resonant frequencies can be generated. For example, one resonant frequency ranges from 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz, and the other resonant frequency ranges from 4.4 GHz to 5 GHz.

[0067] As illustrated in FIG. 11, FIG. 11 is a curve of an isolation degree of an antenna apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
