Title: Antenna clip and electronic device comprising same

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to an antenna clip and an electronic device including the same. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Rapid development of communication technologies has been followed by development of electronic devices providing communication services in various bands, such as long term evolution (LTE), global positioning system (GPS), near field communication (NFC), or wireless LNA (WLAN). 
     Such an electronic device is equipped with an antenna capable of transmitting/receiving radio signals. Antennas may be classified into external antennas and embedded antennas according to antenna disposition. The embedded antennas have recently been highly preferred due to requirements regarding durability and exterior design. 
     In addition, electronic devices are increasingly made slim, and displays have come to occupy the majority of the front surface of electronic devices. In line with such a trend, various studies have been conducted to highly integrate internal components while maintaining the radiation performance of antennas. 
     DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION 
     Technical Problem 
     Electronic devices, the performance and function of which have become diversified, may accordingly have various electronic components embedded therein. Since the space of each electronic device is limited, electronic components may be disposed more and more tightly and thus may affect the performance of each other during operating processes. For example, the smaller the distance between an antenna and a display, the larger influence the display may have on the radiation performance of the antenna. 
     An antenna clip and an electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure may reduce the degree of absorption, into a display, of a radiation signal delivered from a main antenna to an external radiator. 
     Solution to Problem 
     An electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include: a front housing including a display on the front surface thereof; a rear housing located on the rear surface of the front housing; and an antenna clip coupled to the rear housing. The antenna clip may include: a coupling body coupled to one end of the rear housing; a first contact portion extending from the coupling body and electrically connected to an external radiator; and a second contact portion electrically connected to a circuit board disposed between the front housing and the rear housing. 
     An antenna clip according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include: a coupling body coupled to one end of a rear housing of an electronic device; a first contact portion extending from the coupling body and electrically connected to an external radiator; a second contact portion electrically connected to a circuit board disposed between the front housing of the electronic device and the rear housing; and a third contact portion disposed at a portion of the coupling body and electrically connected to the rear housing. 
     Advantageous Effects of Invention 
     According to exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, the flange of the external radiator and the circuit board on which the main antenna is disposed may be spaced apart from each other to the largest extent in the thickness direction of the electronic device, thereby minimizing absorption of radiation signals from the antenna into the display.

     Referring to  FIG. 3 , an electronic device  300  (e.g., the electronic device  100  of  FIG. 1 ) may include a lateral bezel structure  310 , a first support member  311  (e.g., a bracket), a front plate  320 , a display  330  (e.g., the display  101 ), a printed circuit board (PCB)  340 , a battery  350 , a second support member  360  (e.g., a rear case), an antenna  370 , and a rear plate  380 . In various embodiments, the electronic device  300  may omit at least one (e.g., the first support member  311  or the second support member  360 ) of the above components or may further include another component, Some components of the electronic device  300  may be the same as or similar to those of the electronic device  100  shown in  FIG. 1  or  FIG. 2 , thus, descriptions thereof are omitted below. 
     The first support member  311  is disposed inside the electronic device  300  and may be connected to, or integrated with, the lateral bezel structure  310 , The first support member  311  may be formed of, for example, a metallic material and/or a non-metal (e.g., polymer) material. The first support member  311  may be combined with the display  330  at one side thereof and also combined with the PCB  340  at the other side thereof.

     The battery  350  is a device for supplying power to at least one component of the electronic device  300 , and may include, for example, a non-rechargeable primary battery, a rechargeable secondary battery, or a fuel cell. At least a part of the battery  350  may be disposed on substantially the same plane as the PCB  340 . The battery  350  may be integrally disposed within the electronic device  300 , and may be detachably disposed from the electronic device  300 . 
     The antenna  370  may be disposed between the rear plate  380  and the battery  350 . The antenna  370  may include, for example, a near field communication (NFC) antenna, a wireless charging antenna, and/or a magnetic secure transmission (MST) antenna.

An antenna structure may be formed by a part or combination of the lateral bezel structure  310  and/or the first support member  311 . 
       FIGS. 4A and 4B  are views mainly illustrating locations of an external radiator  430  and an antenna clip  500  of an electronic device  400  according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     In detail,  FIG. 4A  is a view mainly illustrating locations of an external radiator  430 , a flange  431 , and a display  411  of the electronic device  400  according to the embodiment of the disclosure, and  FIG. 4B  is a view mainly illustrating locations of a rear housing  420 , and a sub-antenna  421  and an antenna clip  500  disposed in the rear housing  420 . 
       FIG. 4A  may illustrate a portion of an upper end or a lower end of the electronic device  400  according to the embodiment, and may illustrate portions, at which an antenna-related module and the external radiator  430  connected thereto are mainly located. 
     The external radiator  430  may be a main metal frame surrounding an outermost side of the electronic device  400 . The external radiator  430  may include a flange  431  protruding to the inside of the electronic device  400 , and may receive a radiation signal from the electronic device  400  (e,g., a processor) through the flange  431 . According to an embodiment, the external radiator  430  may include a unit conductive part disposed through a pair of at least partially spaced nonconductive parts of a conductive side member (e.g., a side bezel structure) of the electronic device  400 . The conductive part may be disposed to be viewed from the outside as a portion of the side member. In recent years, because the area of the electronic device  400 , which is occupied by a display  411  on a front surface thereof, has gradually become wider to occupy most of the front surface, a gap between an outermost metal frame  430  and the display  411  may become very narrow as illustrated in  FIG. 4A . Accordingly, an overlapping portion may be disposed between the flange  431  of the metal frame  430  and the display  411 . 
     A radiation signal that has to be delivered to the external radiator  430  may fail to be delivered to an overlapping portion of the flange  431  and the display  411  and may be absorbed by the display  411 , and thus the radiation performance of the antenna may be influenced. Accordingly, it is best to dispose the display  411  and the flange  431  such that they do not overlap each other, but because the display  411  occupies most of the front surface of the electronic device, it may be difficult to secure a wide gap such that the metal frame  430  and the display  411  do not overlap each other. 
     According to various embodiments of the disclosure, the gap between the flange  431  and the display  411 , when the display is viewed from the top, that is, in the thickness of the electronic device  400 , is to be secured by maximizing the gap. Detailed items will be described with reference to the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 5 . 
       FIG. 4B  may illustrate a rear housing  420  of the electronic device  400  according to an embodiment of the disclosure, and a sub-antenna  421  disposed in the rear housing  420 . 
     The sub-antenna  421  disposed in the rear housing  420  may include at least one conductive pattern disposed in the rear housing  420  in a laser direct structuring (LDS) scheme. 
     The sub-antenna  421  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be electrically connected to a main antenna and/or a wireless communication circuit and an external radiator  430  disposed in the circuit board  440  (see  FIG. 5 ) in the electronic device  400  through the antenna clip  500 . The sub-antenna  421  may adjust the frequency of a radiation signal generated by the main antenna. For example, the differences of communication frequencies used in nations may be adjusted and solved through the sub-antenna  421 . 
       FIG. 5  is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of  FIG. 4A . 
     The electronic device  400  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include a front housing  410 , a rear housing  420 , and an antenna clip  500 . 
     The front housing  410  according to an embodiment may form an overall frame in the interior of the electronic device  400 , and may include the display  411  on the front surface of the electronic device  400 . The front housing  410  may be manufactured through injection-molding based on a plastic material, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     The rear housing  420  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be disposed on a rear surface of the front housing  410 . Various electronic components, including the circuit board  440 , may be disposed between the front housing  410  and the rear housing  420 . For example, the circuit board  440 , in which the main antenna and/or the wireless communication circuit of the disclosure are embedded, may be disposed. The rear housing  420  may function to protect the electronic components in the interior of the electronic device  400  such that the electronic components are not directly exposed. The above-mentioned sub-antenna  421  (see  FIG. 4B ) may be engraved in the rear housing  420 , and may be electrically connected to the antenna clip  500 . In another embodiment, the sub-antenna  421  may be disposed in various structures (e.g., an antenna carrier) disposed at proper sites of the interior of the electronic device instead of in the rear housing. 
     The antenna clip  500  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include a coupling body  510  (see  FIG. 6A ) that is to be coupled to the rear housing  420 , a first contact portion  520  that is to be electrically connected to the external radiator  430 , a second contact portion  530  that is to be electrically connected to the main antenna disposed in the circuit board  440 , and a third contact portion  540  that is to be electrically connected to the sub-antenna of the rear housing  420 . The detailed shape of the antenna clip  500  will be discussed with reference to  FIGS. 6 to 8  together. 
     The antenna clip  500  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may electrically connect the main antenna, the sub-antenna, and the external radiator  430  through the first to third contact portions  520  to  540  while the antenna clip  500  is disposed at a height that is the same as or similar to the height of the rear housing  420  with reference to the illustrated state of  FIG. 5 . Through this, the height of the circuit board  440 , in which the flange  431  of the external radiator  430 , the main antenna, and/or the wireless communication circuit is disposed, may be made to maximally high, and the interval from the display  411  may be maximized so that the radiation signal may be prevented from being absorbed by the display  411 . 
     Although it is necessary to increase the height of the circuit board  440  up to a height that is similar to the height of the flange  431  in order to maximize the interval between the circuit board  440  and the display  411 , it may be difficult to increase the height of the circuit board  440  up to the same height as the flange  431  in consideration of the operation height of the second contact portion  530  and the thickness of the rear housing  420  that fixes the third contact portion  540 . 
     Accordingly, even though the height of the circuit board  440  cannot be increased up to the same height as the flange  431 , an area in which the flange  431 , in which the radiation of the external radiator  430  is started, and the circuit board  440  overlap each other in the z-axis direction is not present, such that the flange  431  is coupled to the circuit board  440  when the external radiator  43  is radiated, whereby the radiation efficiency of the external radiator  430  may be prevented from being decreased. 
     Further, the second contact portion  530  of the antenna clip  500 , which receives a radiation signal from the main antenna, may contact an upper surface (with reference to the z-axis direction) of the circuit board  440  with reference to the illustrated state of  FIG. 5 , and the first contact portion  520  that delivers a radiation signal from the antenna clip  500  to the external radiator  430  may contact an upper surface (the z-axis direction) of the flange  431  such that the display  411  and the flange  431  may be maximally spaced apart from each other with respect to the z-axis direction. 
       FIGS. 6A and 6B  are views illustrating an antenna clip  500  according to an embodiment, at various angles. 
       FIG. 6A  is a perspective view of the antenna clip  500  according to the embodiment of the disclosure, and  FIG. 6B  is a side view of the antenna clip  500  according to the embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 6A and 6B , the antenna clip  500  according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include a coupling body  510  that is to be coupled to the rear housing  420  (see  FIG. 5 ), a first contact portion  520  that is to be electrically connected to the external radiator  430  (see  FIG. 5 ), a second contact portion  530  that is to be electrically connected to the main antenna disposed in the circuit board  440  (see  FIG. 5 ), and a third contact portion  540  that is to be electrically connected to the sub-antenna  421  (see  FIG. 4B ) of the rear housing. 
     The coupling body  510  according to the embodiment of the disclosure may include a base plate  511 , a first plate  513 , and a second plate  515 . The base plate  511  may have a substantially rectangular shape, and may extend from the corners  511   a  and  511   b  of a short side thereof to form a first plate  513  and a second plate  515 . 
     In a description of the antenna clip  500  according to various embodiments of the disclosure, the left side of the base plate  511  will be referred to as a first direction, the tight side of the base plate  511  will be referred to as a second direction, and the upper side of the base plate  551  will be referred to as one side direction, and the lower side of the base plate  511  will be referred to as an opposite side with reference to the illustrated state of  FIG. 6A  or  FIG. 6B . 
     To help the understanding of the disclosure, terms, such as the first direction, the second direction, the one side direction, and the opposite side direction, are used, but they are relative terms, and if one direction is changed, the remaining directions may be also changed in correspondence to the change. 
     The first plate  513  according to the embodiment of the disclosure may extend from the first direction corner  511 .a of the base plate  511  and be bent upwards, and the second plate  515  may extend from the first plate  513  and be bent to face the base plate  511 . The bending angles of the first plate  513  and the second plate  515  are preferably 90 degrees, but may be changed if necessary. 
     The length of the first plate  513  according to the embodiment of the disclosure may be formed to correspond to the thickness of the rear housing, to which the antenna clip  500  is to be coupled. The second plate  515  may be disposed to face the base plate  511 , but both the plates do not need to be disposed in parallel to each other, and the interval between the second plate  515  and the base plate  511  may be made to become gradually narrower as it extends from the first plate  513 . If the antenna clip  500  is mounted on the rear housing in a state in which the interval between the second plate  515  and the base plate  511  is narrow, it grips the rear housing like a nipper by an elastic fore generated while the first plate  515  and the second plate  515  are deformed, whereby the antenna clip  500  may be coupled to the rear housing. 
     The base plate  511  or the second plate  515  according to the embodiment of the disclosure may have a coupling hole  517  that passes through the base plate  511  or the second plate  515 . If a coupling boss is disposed in the rear housing to correspond to the location of the coupling hole  517 , the coupling hole  517  and the coupling boss are coupled to each other whereby the antenna clip  500  may be coupled to the rear housing more firmly when the antenna clip  500  is coupled to the rear housing. 
     The first contact portion  520  according to the embodiment of the disclosure may extend from the second direction corner  511   b  of the base plate  511  and be bent in an opposite direction a plurality of times. The first contact portion  520  may be deformed in a direction or an opposite direction to provide an elastic force. For example, the first contact portion  520  may be made to be maintained while contacts points of the first contact portion  520  and the flange  431  (see  FIG. 5 ) are not separated from each other, by applying an elastic force to a contact surface of the first contact portion  520  with the flange  431  (see  FIG. 5 ). Through this, the antenna clip  500  and the external radiator  430  (see  FIG. 5 ) may be electrically connected to each other. 
     The second contact portion  520  according to the embodiment of the disclosure may be disposed at a predetermined location between the second direction corner  511   b  of the base plate  511  and the first contact portion  520 . For example, the second contact portion  520  may be disposed at a location obtained by bending the second contact portion  520  once from the second direction corner  511   b  of the base plate  511  with reference to  FIG. 6B , and may be disposed at location obtained by bending the second contact portion  520  twice. That is, the second contact portion  530  may be disposed at a predetermined location between the second direction corner  511   b  of the base plate  511  and the first contact portion  520  to electrically connect the antenna clip  500  and the main antenna of the circuit board according to an arrangement situation of the circuit board disposed in the interior of the electronic device. 
     The third contact portion  540  according to the embodiment of the disclosure may be disposed on a surface of the base plate  511  or the second plate  515 , which contacts the rear housing. For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 6A  or  FIG. 6B , the third contact portion  540  may be disposed in the second plate  515 . Through this, the antenna clip  500  may be electrically connected to the sub-antenna of the rear housing.
