应用于5G移动终端的磁耦合宽带低剖面贴片天线

    Magnetic-coupling-based Wideband Low-profile Patch Antenna for 5G Mobile Terminals

    • 摘要: 文中设计了一款低剖面宽带磁耦合贴片天线,以缓解大量天线对5G移动终端边框造成的巨大压力。该小型天线可以安装在具有较大可用空间的终端设备后盖上,从而减轻边框的负担。天线采用磁耦合寄生天线加载方式来增强带宽。基于半模贴片天线的前两个工作模式,加载具有背靠背拓扑结构的寄生半模贴片。每个基本模式可以扩展为奇偶对称的两个模式,从而在通带内产生四个谐振且无辐射零点。此外,为实现天线小型化,天线上刻蚀两个槽,馈电附近的圆环型槽用于阻抗匹配。最终设计出一款低剖面宽带贴片天线,其剖面为1.5 mm (0.015λL),尺寸为35.0 mm × 36.3 mm (0.36λL×0.37λL)。继而对天线进行了加工和测试,实验结果表明,该天线的-6 dB阻抗带宽为3.05 GHz~4.27 GHz(33.3%),覆盖了期望的5G频段N77 (3.3 GHz~4.2 GHz),带内总效率大于-1.9 dB(64.6%)。文中定义了一个新的参数——带宽体积比(BVR)来衡量空间利用率,相比已有宽带贴片天线,文中所提天线具有更高的空间利用率。

       

      Abstract: This paper proposes a low-profile wideband magnetic-coupling patch antenna designed to alleviate the considerable pressure caused by the antennas on the 5G mobile terminal metal frame. This small planar antenna can be mounted on the back cover of terminal devices with large available space, thus reducing the stress on the frame. The magnetic-coupling parasitic loading method is employed to enhance bandwidth. Based on the first two modes of the half-mode patch antenna, this paper derives a parasitic half-mode patch with a back-to-back topology. Each fundamental mode can be extended into two modes characterized by even and odd symmetry in their current field distribution. With no radiating nulls, consequently, four resonances are generated within the passband. To achieve miniaturization, two slots are etched around the wider edge, while a ring slot surrounding the feeding probe is utilized for impedance matching. Finally this paper obtains a low-profile wideband patch antenna. The profile of the proposed antenna measures 1.5 mm (0.015 λL), and its dimensions are 35.0 mm×36.3 mm(0.36λL×0.37λL). The antenna has been fabricated and measured, and the results indicated that the -6 dB impedance bandwidth of 3.05 GHz~4.27 GHz (33.3%), effectively covering the desired 5G band N77 (3.3 GHz~4.2 GHz) with the minimum total in-band efficiency is -1.9 dB (64.6%). In this paper, a new parameter, bandwidth volume ratio (BVR), is defined to measure the volume utilization. The proposed antenna has the higher space utilization compared with the existing wideband patch antennas.
