TECHNICAL FIELD
Embodiments of the present invention relate to antenna technologies and, in particular embodiments, to a printed circuit board antenna and a terminal.
BACKGROUND
As mobile communications technologies develop, mobile terminals develop increasingly towards a direction of miniaturization, and more and more services are integrated into a mobile terminal. In this way, an antenna in a mobile terminal needs to have a compact size, a sufficient bandwidth, and a capability of working in multiple frequency bands.
Currently, there is a single frequency inverted-F antenna (IFA) that combines a printed circuit board (PCB), and the IFA antenna is a new type of antenna that is developed by combining characteristics of a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) and a monopole antenna. The IFA antenna has advantages of a monopole antenna in a small volume, high efficiency, and a sufficient bandwidth, and also has an advantage of a PIFA antenna in a strong anti-interference capability; therefore, the IFA antenna is suitable for a miniaturized mobile terminal.
However, a current mobile terminal possibly needs to work in multiple frequency bands such as the Bluetooth-wireless local area network (BT-WLAN), the Global Positioning System (GPS), and the high frequency Long Term Evolution (LTE). Therefore, a single frequency IFA antenna that combines the PCB is not suitable for a mobile terminal that works in multiple frequency bands.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
To make objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present invention rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
A printed circuit board antenna and a metal frame antenna that are provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be disposed on a mobile terminal that needs to work in multiple wireless frequency bands, for example, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The multiple wireless frequency bands, for example, are frequency bands such as the BT-WLAN, the GPS, and the TD-LTE, where the BT-WLAN is in a frequency band of 2.4 GHz, the GPS is in a frequency band of 1575.42 MHz, and the TD-LTE is in a frequency band of 2.6 GHz.
FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 1 of a printed circuit board antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment includes: a printed circuit board 11 and a feedpoint 12 that is disposed on the printed circuit board 11, where a copper coating is disposed on the printed circuit board 11.
A split 13 is disposed on the copper coating of the printed circuit board 11, the split 13 is connected to a board edge of the printed circuit board 11, a slot 14 perpendicular to the split 13 is disposed on the copper coating of the printed circuit board 11, the slot 14 is connected to the split 13, and the copper coating at two sides of the split 13 forms, from the split 13 to the slot 14, a first antenna 15 and a second antenna 16; and the feedpoint 12 is configured to, together with the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, form a first resonance loop and a second resonance loop, where resonance frequencies of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop are different.
Specifically, the copper coating is generally laid on places except lines and components on a printed circuit board of a mobile terminal, and the laid copper coating is grounded. A part of the copper coating is removed at a position at which there are no lines and components at one side edge of the printed circuit board 11, so as to dispose the split 13, where the split 13 is generally a rectangle. Similarly, a part of the copper coating is removed from the printed circuit board 11, so as to dispose the slot 14, where the slot 14 is perpendicular to and is connected to the split 13, the slot 14 is generally also a rectangle, and the slot 14 and the split 13 form a structure of a “T” shape. In this way, at one side of the slot 14 that is located at the split 13, two separate segments of the copper coating are formed, and the two segments of the copper coating from the split 13 to the slot 14 are the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16.
A position 17 on the first antenna 15 that is located at one end of the slot 14, and a position 18 on the second antenna 16 that is located at another end of the slot 14 are separately connected to remaining copper coating on the printed circuit board 11, that is, the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are respectively grounded at the position 17 and the position 18 at the two ends of the slot 14. A radio frequency circuit (not shown) configured to receive or generate a radio frequency signal is further disposed on the printed circuit board 11, and the radio frequency circuit is connected to the feedpoint 12, and transmits the radio frequency signal from the first antenna 15 and/or the second antenna 16 through the feedpoint 12, or receives, through the feedpoint 12, a radio frequency signal received by the first antenna 15 and/or the second antenna 16.
Manners in which the feedpoint 12 performs feeding to the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 can be classified into two forms. The first form may specifically be that: the feedpoint 12 is electrically connected to the first antenna 15, performs feeding to the first antenna 15 in a direct feeding manner, and forms the first resonance loop; and the first antenna 15 that accepts the direct feeding is used as an excitation source of the second antenna 16 to perform feeding to the second antenna 16 in a coupled feeding manner, and forms the second resonance loop. The second form may specifically be that: a feeder is disposed at the split 13, the feedpoint 12 is electrically connected to the feeder, and the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop are respectively formed on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 through coupled feeding of the feeder. The following embodiments describe the two feeding manners separately.
A relationship between a resonance frequency generated by the antenna and the length of the antenna is l=λ/4 and λf=c, where l is the length of the antenna, λ is a wavelength of the resonance frequency generated by the antenna, f is the resonance frequency generated by the antenna, and c is the speed of light. Therefore, the wavelength of the resonance frequency generated by the antenna can be determined according to the resonance frequency generated by the antenna and the speed of light, and then the length of the antenna can be determined according to the wavelength. In this way, the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 can be determined.
According to the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment, the split 13 and the slot 14 are disposed on the copper coating of the printed circuit board, so that the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 can be formed on the printed circuit board, the first resonance loop can be formed on the first antenna 15, and the second resonance loop can be formed on the second antenna 16, where the first resonance loop can generate a first resonance frequency, and the second resonance loop can generate a second resonance frequency, sizes of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are different, and the first resonance frequency generated by the first resonance loop is different from the second resonance frequency generated by the second resonance loop. In this way, a terminal device with the printed circuit board antenna according to this embodiment can work at two different frequencies, for example, the first resonance frequency is located in a BT-WLAN frequency band, and the second resonance frequency is located in a GPS frequency band.
According to the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment, a split and a slot perpendicular to the split are disposed on a copper coating on a printed circuit board, the slot is connected to the split to form a first antenna and a second antenna, and a feedpoint forms two resonance loops with different frequencies on the first antenna and the second antenna, so that the printed circuit board antenna can work in two different frequency bands at the same time.
On the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 1, the feedpoint 12 is located in the slot 14 and is close to one end of the first antenna 15, the feedpoint 12 is electrically connected to the first antenna 15, a position at which the feedpoint 12 is electrically connected to the first antenna 15 is close to the position 17, and the length of the first antenna 15 is different from the length of the second antenna 16. An electrical connection exists between the first antenna 15 and the feedpoint 12. Therefore, the first resonance loop is formed on the first antenna 15 through direct feeding of the feedpoint 12. The first antenna 15 is grounded at the position 17; therefore, a resistance at the position 17 on the first antenna 15 that is located at one end of the slot 14 is the smallest, and a resistance at one end of the split 13 on the first antenna 15 is the largest. An impedance of the radio frequency circuit generally is 50 ohms.
To ensure impedance matching, the position at which the feedpoint 12 is electrically connected to the first antenna 15 should be as close to a position at which the impedance is 50 ohms and on the first antenna 15 as possible, where this position is close to the position 17. It can be known according to the formulas l=λ/4 and λf=c that, a frequency of the first resonance loop formed on the first antenna 15 is c/λl1, where l1 is the length of the first antenna 15. The second antenna 16 is not electrically connected to the feedpoint 12, the first antenna 15 is used as the excitation source (that is, the feedpoint) of the second antenna 16, and the second resonance loop is formed on the second antenna 16 through coupled feeding of the first antenna 15. When an electric field exists on the first antenna 15, one end of the split 13 on the second antenna 16 generates an electric field through a capacitive coupling effect. A shorter distance between the second antenna 16 and the first antenna 15 (that is, a narrower split 13) indicates that the first antenna 16 gets a stronger electric field coupling. In this way, the second resonance loop is generated on the second antenna 16. It can be known according to the formulas l=λ/4 and λf=c that, a frequency of the second resonance loop formed on the second antenna 16 is c/4l2, where l2 is the length of the second antenna 16. The lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 can be adjusted by adjusting sizes by which the slot 14 extends towards two sides of the split 13 and a size of the split 13, so that the resonance frequencies of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop can be adjusted.
FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 2 of a printed circuit board antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, based on FIG. 1, the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment further includes a first inductor 21 and a second inductor 22.
The first inductor 21 is disposed on the first antenna 15 and is electrically connected to the first antenna 15, and the second inductor 22 is disposed on the second antenna 16 and is electrically connected to the second antenna 16.
Specifically, an inductor component has two pins. The first inductor 21 is electrically connected to the first antenna 15, that is, two pins of the first inductor 21 are electrically connected to the first antenna 15. Similarly, the second inductor 22 is electrically connected to the second antenna 16, that is, two pins of the second inductor 22 are electrically connected to the second antenna 16. One inductor is connected to a point of the antenna, and inductive reactance of this inductor can offset all of or a part of capacitive reactance that is presented at the point by the antenna from the point to a free end of the antenna (using the first antenna 15 as an example, adding of the first inductor 21 can offset capacitive reactance that is presented at the first inductor 21 by the antenna from the first inductor 21 to the split 13), so that a current of the antenna from the point to an antenna ground point increases (using the first antenna 15 as an example, adding of the first inductor 21 increases a current of the antenna from the first inductor 21 to the position 17). That is, the effective length of the antenna is increased.
Therefore, disposing of the first inductor 21 and the second inductor 22 on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 is equivalent to an increase of the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, which decreases the resonance frequencies of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop. In a case in which it is ensured that the resonance frequencies of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop remain unchanged, if the first inductor 21 and the second inductor 22 are respectively disposed on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 need to be shortened, that is, lengths by which the slot 14 extends towards two sides of the split 13 need to be shortened. Further, larger inductances of the first inductor 21 and the second inductor 22 correspondingly indicate narrower bandwidths of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop.
In this way, by disposing the first inductor 21 and the second inductor 22 with appropriate inductances on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 can be shortened under a precondition that the frequencies and the bandwidths of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop are ensured, so that a size of the printed circuit board antenna can be reduced, which facilitates miniaturization of a mobile terminal with the printed circuit board antenna.
Further, one inductor is connected to a point of the antenna, and inductive reactance of this inductor can offset all of or a part of capacitive reactance that is presented at the point by the antenna from the point to the free end of the antenna, so that a current of the antenna from the point to the antenna ground point is increased, and therefore, an effect of offsetting the capacitive reactance on the antenna is the strongest when the inductor is disposed at a position with a maximum current on the antenna. Therefore, the first inductor 21 may be disposed at a position with a maximum current on the first antenna 15, and the second inductor 22 may be disposed at a position with a maximum current on the second antenna 16. In this way, the first inductor 21 and the second inductor 22 have the greatest influence on the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16.
Theoretically, the current is greater at a position closer to the antenna ground point; therefore, the first inductor 21 being closer to the position 17 indicates a greater influence on the length of the first antenna 15, and the second inductor 22 being closer to the position 18 indicates a greater influence on the length of the second antenna 16. In an actual application, the position at which the first inductor 21 is disposed on the first antenna 15 and the position at which the second inductor 22 is disposed on the second antenna 22 can be determined according to a requirement, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
According to the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment, a split and a slot perpendicular to the split are disposed on a copper coating on a printed circuit board, the slot is connected to the split to form a first antenna and a second antenna, and a feedpoint forms two resonance loops with different frequencies on the two antennas, so that the printed circuit board antenna can work in two different frequency bands at the same time, and on this basis, further, by disposing an inductor separately on the two antennas, the lengths of the antennas can be shortened in a case in which resonance frequencies generated by the antennas remain unchanged, so that a size of the printed circuit board antenna can be decreased.
FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 3 of a printed circuit board antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a difference between the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment and the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 1 lies in that a feeder 31 is disposed at the split 13, the feedpoint 12 is disposed at a position on the slot 14 that is close to the split 13, the feedpoint 12 is electrically connected to the feeder 31, and the length of the first antenna 15 is different from the length of the second antenna 16.
Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 perform feeding from the feedpoint 12 in the coupled feeding manner. To perform coupled feeding to the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, the feedpoint 12 needs to connect to a segment of feeder 31, where the feeder 31 is electrically connected to neither the first antenna 15 nor the second antenna 16. After accepting the direct feeding of the feedpoint 12, the feeder 31 separately performs coupled feeding to the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 through the capacitive coupling effect. The first resonance loop and the second resonance loop are respectively formed on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16.
In addition, it can be known according to the formulas l=λ/4 and λf=c that, the frequency of the first resonance loop formed on the first antenna 15 is c/4l1, where l1 is the length of the first antenna 15, and the frequency of the second resonance loop formed on the second antenna 16 is c/4l2, where l2 is the length of the second antenna 16. The lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 can be adjusted by adjusting the sizes by which the slot 14 extends towards two sides of the split 13 and the size of the split 13, so that the resonance frequencies of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop can be adjusted.
According to the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment, a split and a slot perpendicular to the split are disposed on a copper coating on a printed circuit board, the slot is connected to the split to form a first antenna and a second antenna, and a feedpoint forms two resonance loops with different frequencies on the two antennas, so that the printed circuit board antenna can work in two different frequency bands at the same time, and a dual-frequency printed circuit board antenna is provided.
FIG. 4 is simulation curve charts of return losses of the printed circuit board antennas shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. A size between a ground point of the first antenna 15 and a ground point of the second antenna 16 in the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 1 is set to 63 mm, and widths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are set to 5 mm; and a size between a ground point of the first antenna 15 and a ground point of the second antenna 16 in the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 3 is set to 49 mm, and the widths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are set to 5 mm, so that of the printed circuit board antennas shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the first antennas 15 both work in a GPS frequency band, and the second antennas 16 both work in a BT-WLAN frequency band, where a central frequency of the BT-WLAN frequency band is 2400 MHz, and a central frequency of the GPS frequency band is 1575.42 MHz.
In FIG. 4, a curve 41 indicates a curve of the return loss of the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 1, and a curve 42 indicates a curve of the return loss of the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that, a return loss in the curve 41 at a frequency of 1575.42 MHz is less than −10 dB, and a return loss in the curve 42 at the frequency of 1575.42 MHz is also less than −10 dB; and a return loss in the curve 41 at a frequency of 2.4 GHz is about −12 dB, and a return loss in the curve 42 at the frequency of 2.4 GHz is about −9 dB. It can be known according to return loss requirements of BT-WLAN and GPS antennas that, the printed circuit board antennas shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 both can meet a requirement of working in dual frequency bands of the BT-WLAN and the GPS.
FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 4 of a printed circuit board antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, based on FIG. 3, the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment further includes a first inductor 51 and a second inductor 52.
The first inductor 51 is disposed on the first antenna 15 and is electrically connected to the first antenna 15, and the second inductor 52 is disposed on the second antenna 16 and is electrically connected to the second antenna 16.
Specifically, an inductor component has two pins, and to electrically connect the first inductor 51 to the first antenna 15 is to electrically connect two pins of the first inductor 51 to the first antenna 15. Similarly, to electrically connect the second inductor 52 to the second antenna 16 is to electrically connect two pins of the second inductor 52 to the second antenna 16. One inductor is loaded at a point of the antenna, and inductive reactance of this inductor can offset all of or a part of capacitive reactance that is presented at the point by the antenna from the point to a free end of the antenna, so that a current of the antenna from the point to an antenna ground point is increased, that is, the effective length of the antenna is increased.
Therefore, disposing of the first inductor 51 and the second inductor 52 on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 is equivalent to increasing of the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, which decreases the resonance frequencies of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop. In a case in which it is ensured that the resonance frequencies of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop remain unchanged, if the first inductor 51 and the second inductor 52 are respectively disposed on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 need to be shortened, that is, lengths by which the slot 14 extends towards two sides of the split 13 need to be shortened.
However, larger inductances of the first inductor 51 and the second inductor 52 correspondingly indicate narrower bandwidths of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop. In this way, by disposing the first inductor 51 and the second inductor 52 with appropriate inductances on the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 can be shortened under a precondition that the frequencies and the bandwidths of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop are ensured, so that a size of the printed circuit board antenna can be reduced, which facilitates miniaturization of a mobile terminal with the printed circuit board antenna.
Further, one inductor is loaded at a point of the antenna, and inductive reactance of this inductor can offset all of or a part of capacitive reactance that is presented at the point by the antenna from the point to the free end of the antenna, so that a current of the antenna from the point to the antenna ground point is increased, and therefore, an effect of offsetting the capacitive reactance on the antenna is the strongest when the inductor is disposed at a position with a maximum current on the antenna.
Therefore, the first inductor 51 may be disposed at a position with a maximum current on the first antenna 15, and the second inductor 52 may be disposed at a position with a maximum current on the second antenna 16; in this way, the first inductor 51 and the second inductor 52 have the greatest influence on the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16. Theoretically, the current is greater at a position closer to the antenna ground point; therefore, the first inductor 51 being closer to the position 17 indicates a greater influence on the length of the first antenna 15, and the second inductor 52 being closer to the position 18 indicates a greater influence on the length of the second antenna 16.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, in a case in which the resonance frequency of the first resonance loop is in a GPS frequency band, and the resonance frequency of the second resonance loop is in a BT-WLAN frequency band, a size between a ground point of the first antenna 15 and a ground point of the second antenna 16 is 49 mm, and widths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are set to 5 mm.
After the first inductor 51 and the second inductor 52 shown in FIG. 5 are introduced to an antenna of the foregoing size, the first inductor 51 is disposed at the position with the maximum current on the first antenna 15, and the inductance is 3 nH; the second inductor 52 is disposed at the position with the maximum current on the second antenna 16, and the inductance is 3.8 nH. In this case, the size between the ground point of the first antenna 15 and the ground point of the second antenna 16 is 37 mm, and the widths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are set to 5 mm. That is, the resonance frequency of the first resonance loop can be in the GPS frequency band, and the resonance frequency of the second resonance loop can be in the BT-WLAN frequency band. It may be seen that, introduction of the inductor in this embodiment can significantly decrease the size of the antenna.
According to the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment, a split and a slot perpendicular to the split are disposed on a copper coating on a printed circuit board, the slot is connected to the split to form a first antenna and a second antenna, and a feedpoint forms two resonance loops with different frequencies on the two antennas, so that the printed circuit board antenna can work in two different frequency bands at the same time, and on this basis, further, by separately disposing one inductor on the two antennas, the lengths of the antennas can be shortened, so that a size of the printed circuit board antenna can be decreased.
FIG. 6 is a simulation curve chart of a return loss of the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 5. In FIG. 6, a curve 61 is a simulation curve of a return loss when, in the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 5, the size between the ground point of the first antenna 15 and the ground point of the second antenna 16 is 37 mm, the widths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are set to 5 mm, and the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 separately work in the GPS and BT-WLAN frequency bands. It can be obtained by comparing the curve 61 with the curve 42 in FIG. 4 that, the printed circuit board antenna in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 can still work in the BT-WLAN and GPS frequency bands at the same time; and although the return loss is slightly greater than that in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, use requirements can still be met.
In addition, in the embodiments shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, if positions of the split and the slot are adjusted to make the resonance frequencies of the formed first resonance loop and second resonance loop close to each other, it is equivalent to combination of frequency bands of the first resonance loop and the second resonance loop, so as to form a new frequency band with a wider bandwidth. In this way, the printed circuit board antennas in the embodiments shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 can be extended to broadband antennas, which can meet a requirement of high-frequency diversity, and for example, are applicable to an application of a high-frequency band diversity antenna of LTE. Similarly, on this basis, the inductors shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 can also be added to decrease the sizes of the antennas.
It should be noted that, in the foregoing embodiments, the lengths of the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are different, so that the resonance frequencies generated by the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are different. However, the printed circuit board antenna of the present invention is not limited thereto. In the printed circuit board antennas shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the first inductor 21 (51) and the second inductor 22 (52) are respectively added to the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16, and the resonance frequencies generated by the first antenna 15 and the second antenna 16 are decreased.
Therefore, in another embodiment of the present invention, if a first antenna and a second antenna are formed by disposing a slot and a split, and the lengths of the first antenna and the second antenna are made the same; in this case, a first inductor and a second inductor are respectively added to the first antenna and the second antenna, and by adjusting magnitudes of inductances of the first inductor and the second inductor and adjusting positions at which the first inductor and the second inductor are located on the first antenna and the second antenna, resonance frequencies of a first resonance loop and a second resonance loop that are formed on the first antenna and the second antenna can still be made different.
FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 5 of a printed circuit board antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment includes: a printed circuit board 71, and a feedpoint 72 and an inductor 73 that are disposed on the printed circuit board 71, where a copper coating is disposed on the printed circuit board 71.
A split 74 is disposed on the copper coating on the printed circuit board 71, the split 74 is connected to a board edge of the printed circuit board 71, a slot 75 perpendicular to the split 74 is disposed on the copper coating on the printed circuit board 71, the slot 75 is connected to the split 74, and the copper coating at one side of the split 74 forms, from the split 74 to the slot 75, an antenna 76; and a feeder 78 is disposed in the slot 75, the feedpoint 72 is electrically connected to the feeder 78, a resonance loop is formed on the antenna 76 through coupled feeding of the feeder 78, and the inductor 73 is disposed on the antenna 76 and is electrically connected to the antenna 76.
Specifically, a copper coating is generally laid on places except lines and components on a printed circuit board of a mobile terminal, and the laid copper coating is grounded. A part of the copper coating is removed at a position at which there are no lines and components at one side edge of the printed circuit board 71, so as to dispose the split 74, where the split 74 is generally a rectangle. Similarly, a part of the copper coating is removed from the printed circuit board 71, so as to dispose the slot 75, where the slot 75 is perpendicular to and is connected to the split 74, the slot 75 is generally also a rectangle, and the slot 75 and the split 74 form a structure of an “L” shape. In this way, at one side of the slot 75 that is located at the split 74, a segment of copper coating with only one end connected to the printed circuit board is formed, and this segment of the copper coating from the split 74 to one end 77 of the slot 75 is the antenna 76.
A position 77 at which the antenna 76 is located and that is at one end of the slot 75 is connected to a remaining copper coating on the printed circuit board 71, that is, the position 77 on the antenna 76 at one end of the slot 75 is grounded. A radio frequency circuit (not shown) configured to receive or generate a radio frequency signal is further disposed on the printed circuit board 71, and the radio frequency circuit is connected to the feedpoint 72, and transmits the radio frequency signal from the antenna 76 by using the feedpoint 72, or receives, by using the feedpoint 72, a radio frequency signal received by the antenna 76. The feeder 78 is located in the split 74, the feeder 78 is not electrically connected to the antenna 76. After accepting direct feeding of the feedpoint 72, the feeder 78 performs coupled feeding to the antenna 76 through a capacitive coupling effect, and forms a resonance loop on the antenna 76. The inductor 73 has two pins, and to electrically connect the inductor 73 to the antenna 76 is to electrically connect the two pins of the inductor 73 to the antenna 76.
As shown in FIG. 7, the feedpoint 72 is connected to a segment of feeder 78, and performs feeding to the antenna 76 in a coupled feeding manner. The feedpoint 72 can further perform feeding to the antenna 76 in a direct feeding manner, where the direct feeding manner is similar to a manner in which the feedpoint 12 performs feeding to the first antenna 15 in FIG. 1, which will not be described in detail herein again.
In this embodiment, disposing of the inductor 73 on the antenna 76 is equivalent to an increase of the length of the antenna 76, which decreases a resonance frequency of the resonance loop formed on the antenna 76. In a case in which it is ensured that the resonance frequency of the resonance loop formed on the antenna 76 remains unchanged, if the inductor 73 is disposed on the antenna 76, the length of the antenna 76 needs to be shortened, that is, a length by which the slot 14 extends towards one side of the split 13 needs to be shortened. However, a larger inductance of the inductor 73 correspondingly indicates a narrower bandwidth of the resonance loop formed on the antenna 76. By disposing the inductor 73 with an appropriate inductance on the antenna 76, the length of the antenna 76 can be shortened under a precondition that the frequency and the bandwidth of the resonance loop formed on the antenna 76 are ensured, so that a size of the printed circuit board antenna can be decreased, which facilitates miniaturization of a mobile terminal that uses the printed circuit board antenna.
Further, one inductor is loaded at a point of the antenna, and inductive reactance of this inductor can offset all of or a part of capacitive reactance that is presented at the point by the antenna from the point to the free end of the antenna, so that a current of the antenna from the point to the antenna ground point is increased, and therefore, an effect of offsetting the capacitive reactance on the antenna is the strongest when the inductor is disposed at a position with a maximum current on the antenna. Therefore, the inductor 73 may be disposed at a position with a maximum current on the antenna 76; in this way, the inductor 73 has the greatest influence on the length of the antenna 76. Theoretically, the current is greater at a position closer to the antenna ground point; therefore, the inductor 73 being closer to the position 77 indicates a greater influence on the length of the antenna 76.
When the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 7 works in a BT-WLAN frequency band, if the inductor 73 is not added, a size of the antenna 76 is 4 mm×23 mm; and after the inductor 73 with an inductance of 4.1 nH is added to the position with the maximum current on the antenna 76, the antenna is still enabled to work in the BT-WLAN frequency band, and the size of the antenna 76 can be decreased to 4 mm×16 mm. It may be seen that, introduction of the inductor in this embodiment can significantly decrease the size of the antenna.
FIG. 8 is a simulation curve chart of a return loss of the printed circuit board antenna shown in FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 8, a curve 81 is a curve of a return loss of the printed circuit board antenna to which an inductor 73 is not added, a curve 82 is a curve of a return loss of the printed circuit board antenna to which the inductor 73 shown in FIG. 7 is added, and the antennas both work in a BT-WLAN frequency band; and a size of the antenna 76 to which the inductor 73 is not added is 4 mm×23 mm, and a size of the antenna 76 to which the inductor 73 with an inductance of 4.1 nH is added is 4 mm×16 mm. It can be obtained by comparing the curve 81 with the curve 82 that, the printed circuit board antenna to which the inductor 73 is added can still work in the BT-WLAN frequency band; and although the return loss is slightly greater than that of the printed circuit board antenna to which the inductor is not added, use requirements can still be met.
According to the printed circuit board antenna in this embodiment, one inductor is added to an IFA antenna, so that the length of a feeder can be shortened, so that a size of the printed circuit board antenna can be decreased.
