1, 2A and 2B show a first antenna element 10 having a first feed part 12 for connection to a radio frequency circuit 4 and a first feed element separate from the first antenna element 10. An antenna device 6 comprising a load 21 connected to 12 is shown, wherein the load 21 varies between an inductive state mainly at a first frequency and a mainly capacitive state at a second frequency. Has
More specifically, FIG. 1 schematically shows an apparatus 2 suitable for wireless communication using radio frequency (RF) technology. The device 2 in this example is a functional circuit 8 for providing data to and / or receiving data from the RF circuit 4 and an antenna device 6 connected to the RF circuit 4. It includes. Antenna device 6 may be used to transmit an RF signal provided by RF circuit 4 and / or receive an RF signal provided to RF circuit 4.
Device 2 is a portable electronic device, such as a mobile terminal in a network device or cellular communication network, or a mobile cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a gaming device, a music player that allows a device to communicate using RF technology. May be any suitable device, such as a portable device, such as a personal computer.
In the following paragraphs, although RF technology is described with respect to mobile cellular terminals used in cellular communication networks, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to other RF networks, such as local ad-hoc RF networks, infrastructure networks, and the like.
The RF circuit 4 has an output 5 connected to the first feed part 12 of the first antenna element 10. If the RF circuit 4 can transmit, the output 5 is typically connected to a power amplifier in the RF circuit 4.
The first feed part 12 of the first antenna element 10 is connected in series with the load 21. The load 21 comprises a transmission line 7 and in this example comprises a second antenna element 20. The load 21 is a frequency dependent load that changes from a mainly capacitive state to a mainly inductive state as the frequency changes. The second antenna element 20 has a feed section 22 connected to the transmission line 7. In another embodiment, the second antenna 20 may be an open transmission line, for example.
Therefore, the second antenna element 20 is indirectly fed through the first feed part 12 of the first antenna element 10.
The transmission line 7 can be formed from a number of suitable materials or components. For example, the transmission line 7 may be a coaxial cable, a microphone strip, a stripline or even some ceramic component.
The first antenna element 10 and the second antenna element 20 are separate antenna elements separated by a distance d. This distance d is chosen to cause a certain phase delay and shift the impedance of one antenna relative to the impedance of the other antenna. Referring to FIG. 4 schematically illustrating the Smith chart, the combination of transmission line 7 and second antenna element 20 with the first antenna element 10 having a first impedance curve 40 in the Smith chart is a Smith chart. Has a second impedance curve 41 having a position and meaning opposite to the first impedance curve 40. The first impedance curve 40 is in the third quadrant and therefore has a lower frequency portion 40L that is mainly capacitive and also has a higher frequency portion 40H that is in the second quadrant and is thus mainly inductive. The second impedance curve 41 is in the first quadrant and thus has a lower frequency portion 41L that is mainly inductive and also has a higher frequency portion 41H that is in the fourth quadrant and is thus mainly capacitive. At lower frequencies, the mainly inductive characteristic 41L of the load 21 is balanced with the mainly capacitive characteristic 40L of the first antenna 20. At higher frequencies, the mainly capacitive characteristic 41H of the load 21 is balanced with the mainly inductive characteristic 40H of the first antenna 20.
More specifically, FIG. 5A schematically shows a Smith chart 50 1 for a first antenna element 10. This Smith chart shows that the first antenna element has a low band resonant frequency 58 1 and a high band resonant frequency 60 1 . The lower frequency end 54 1 of low band resonance and high band resonance needs to be rotated clockwise within the Smith chart for impedance matching. This can be accomplished using a shunt inductor. The higher frequency stages 56 1 of low band resonance and high band resonance need to be rotated counterclockwise within the Smith chart for impedance matching. This can be accomplished using a shunt capacitor.
The shunt inductor required for the lower frequency stage 54 1 of low band resonance and high band resonance is provided by the combination of transmission line 7 and second antenna element 20, the impedance of which is shown in the Smith chart of FIG. Is shown.
The shunt capacitor required for the lower frequency stage 56 1 of the low band resonance and the high band resonance is provided by the combination of the transmission line 7 and the second antenna element 20, the impedance of which is shown in the Smith chart of FIG. 5B. Is shown.
5b schematically shows a Smith chart 50 2 for the coupling of transmission line 7 and second antenna element 20. The transmission line rotates the impedance of the second antenna element as can be seen in the figure. The Smith chart shows the combination of having a low band resonance frequency (58 2) and the high-band resonance frequency (60 2). The lower frequency stage 54 2 of low band resonance and high band resonance provides the necessary shunt inductance described above. The higher frequency stages 56 2 of low band resonance and high band resonance provide the necessary shunt capacitance described above.
5C schematically shows a Smith chart 50 2 for the combination of the first antenna element 10, the transmission line 7 and the second antenna element 20 when viewed from the feed section 5. It can be seen that the impedance for the low and high bands as a whole is within a fixed voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), represented by the circle 62.
The second antenna element 20 and the transmission line 7 are combined to operate as a frequency dependent load 21 for the first antenna element 10 and to act as a matching network by compensating for impedance variations in the first antenna element. The load 21 is a frequency dependent load that converts from a mainly capacitive state (higher frequency stage of the low / high band) to a mainly inductive state (lower frequency stage of the low / high band) as the frequency changes. When the frequency increases beyond the resonant frequency, the load 21 is switched from a mainly inductive state to a mainly capacitive state.
In some embodiments, the necessary phase delay can be achieved using lumped components instead of or in addition to the transmission line 7. In these embodiments, when the transmission line 7 is not needed, the first and second antenna elements are located adjacent to each other.
6 shows a first antenna element 10 having a first feed part 12 for connection to a radio frequency circuit 4 and a first antenna element 10 connected to the first feed element 12. An antenna device 6 is shown comprising a distributed network 21 providing a parallel load to the first antenna element 10 that compensates for the frequency dependent phase of the impedance.
The antenna device 6 has a distributed network load 21 comprising a transmission line 7 connected to the first feed section 12 and also comprising a second antenna element 20 (or an open transmission line). Similar to that shown in FIG. The antenna device further comprises a lumped element 23 connected between the transmission line 7 and the second antenna element 20. An additional lumped element 23 is represented herein as an inductor and is connected between the transmission line 7 and the second antenna element 20 in a shunt configuration. This lumped element 23 can also be replaced by an equivalent shunt transmission line or stub which can be terminated to ground in the form of a short circuit. In addition, other frequency dependent reactive elements may be used instead of the exemplary inductive reactance if desired.
The Smith chart of the first antenna element 10 is shown in FIG. 7A and its corresponding scalar S11 plot is shown in FIG. 7B. The lower frequency resonant band is mainly between m5 and m6 and has a resonant frequency located above m5 and below m6. The higher frequency resonant band is mainly between m7 and m8 and has a resonant frequency located above m7 and below m8.
The Smith chart of the transmission line 7 is shown in FIG. 7C. It is a frequency dependent load that gives a different phase to the complex impedance signal depending on the frequency.
The Smith chart for the combination of the transmission line 7 and the lumped element is shown in FIG. 7D. The lumped element 23 is a reactive impedance that adds a phase shift to the impedance. In this example, the lumped element 23 is an inductor that adds a (nearly) constant + π / 2 phase shift across all frequencies.
The Smith chart for the combination of transmission line 7, shunt inductor 23 and second antenna 20 (or open transmission line) is shown in FIG. 7E. The additional load 20 is frequency dependent. This additional load 20 is primarily capacitive for the low band frequencies m5 and m6. It is mainly inductive for high band frequencies (m7, m8). In the Smith chart, the low band impedance is rotated clockwise and the high band impedance is twisted counterclockwise to produce a load 21 having a complex impedance that is balanced with that of the first antenna element 10.
The Smith chart of the entire antenna device 6 is shown in FIG. 7F. It can be seen that when coupled the resonant frequency of the first antenna element 10 is induced closer to the ideal 50 ohms. Thus, the efficiency of the first antenna element 10 is significantly improved.
2A and 2B show an embodiment of the antenna device 6 described in connection with FIG. 1. 2A is a top front perspective view of the antenna device 6 for a mobile cellular telecommunication terminal and FIG. 2B is a top left perspective view of the same antenna device 6.
The antenna device 6 of FIG. 1 comprises separate and separate first and second antenna elements 10, 20, wherein the first feed part 12 of the first antenna element 10 is a part of the RF circuit 4. The feed section 22 of the second antenna element 20 is powered indirectly by the output 5 and indirectly by the transmission line 7 connected to the first feed section 12 of the first antenna element 10.

The first antenna element 10 is disposed adjacent to the first edge 31 of the ground plane 30 and the second antenna element 20 is disposed adjacent to the second edge 32 of the ground plane 30. .
The spacing H of the second antenna element 20 from the ground plane 30 is small thanks to the antenna arrangement 6. In particular, the series connection of the second antenna element 20 to the feed section 12 of the first antenna element 10 provides a load on the first antenna element 10 and improves its operating characteristics, and thus this improvement. The profile of the second antenna element 20 can be reduced at the expense of.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the first antenna element 10 and the second antenna element 20 are separated by a distance of several tens of millimeters. For example, the length L of the ground plane 30 may exceed 90 millimeters.
Typically, the ILA antenna element 20 has a low height above ground plane, for example less than 4 mm and the monopole antenna element 10 does not require a ground plane, and therefore has a low height for use, eg 8 Mm is required.
A schematic illustration of the return loss S11 of the antenna device 6 of FIGS. 2A and 2B is shown in FIG. 3. The antenna device 6 is a double resonant structure with a wide bandwidth low band covering the US-GSM850 band (824-894 MHz) and the EGSM 900 band (880-960 MHZ). This antenna arrangement 6 also has a higher frequency wider covering at least one of, for example, PCN / DCS1800 (1710-1880 MHZ), US-WCDMA1900 (1850-1990 MHZ), PCS1900 (1850-1990 MHZ).
