Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, generally, an antenna device is provided on an electronic device such as a television, and signals are transmitted or received through the antenna device to realize information transfer with a router, a remote controller, other remote devices, and the like.
Taking a television as an example, with the development of a 5G communication system, a 5G antenna device is applied to a large-screen television, for example, a 5G antenna device with the characteristics of being capable of completing large-data-volume transmission, ultra-large network capacity and the like is arranged on the television to receive or transmit signals, so that information transfer with other devices and the like is realized, and the requirements of people on ultra-high-definition videos, cloud games, VR experience, television remote education and the like are met.
In the conventional art, a large-screen television includes a television body and an antenna device, the antenna device is disposed on a back plate of the television body, and the antenna device is located at a position of the back plate near a bottom corner. Currently, the antenna device is usually an inverted F-shaped antenna (INVERTED F ANTENNA, abbreviated as IFA) or a planar inverted F-shaped antenna (PLANE INVERTED F ANTENNA, abbreviated as PPIFA), and electromagnetic waves are radiated in all directions through the radiator of the IFA/PIFA antenna, so that part of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the antenna device can be radiated to the front of the screen of the television body through the side of the television body, and the purpose of transmitting signals through the position in front of the screen is achieved.
Specifically taking an IFA antenna as an example, the IFA antenna includes a metal floor and a radiator that are disposed opposite to each other along a thickness direction of the television body, where the metal floor is disposed on a back plate of the television body, and generally the back plate of the television body may be directly used as the metal floor of the IFA antenna, and a feeding structure, a grounding short-circuit leg, and a parasitic structure are disposed between the metal floor and the radiator. The feed structure is arranged at one end of the radiator, one end of the feed structure is connected with the radiator, and the other end of the feed structure is electrically connected with the signal emission source in the television body through the feed port on the metal floor, so that the signal emission source feeds signal current into the antenna radiator through the feed port and the feed structure, and the antenna radiator emits the signal current to the receiving end in the form of electromagnetic waves.
The two ends of the grounding short-circuit leg are respectively connected with the radiator and the metal floor, the bottom of the parasitic structure is connected with the metal floor, and a certain gap is reserved between the top of the parasitic structure and the radiator, so that the radiator feeds signal current to the parasitic structure in a gap coupling feeding mode, and the parasitic structure emits the signal current in an electromagnetic wave mode, so that the bandwidth of the IFA antenna is widened.
Based on the above, the conventional antenna device, such as the IFA antenna, is of an open structure, i.e. the radiator and the metal floor are both of an open structure, there is no side shielding portion, and electromagnetic waves excited by the radiator and the parasitic structure are uniformly radiated from a circumference of the IFA antenna, so that the directivity coefficient of the frequency band 2.4Gwifi of the antenna device is higher, and only a portion of the electromagnetic waves radiate from the side of the television to the front of the screen, thereby reducing the forward gain and affecting the performance of the front-screen antenna of the electronic device such as the television. The directivity coefficient of the frequency band of 2.4Gwifi of the traditional antenna device is 7.1dBi, and the forward gain is-2.4 dBi. The forward gain refers to the gain of electromagnetic waves radiated from the antenna to the front of the screen of the large-screen television.

For example, an end of the first portion 231 remote from the second portion 232 is connected to the feeding port 240 such that an end of the first portion 231 is electrically connected to the signal emitting source through the feeding port 240, thereby feeding the signal current through the feeding port 240 onto the feeding structure 230, which in turn feeds the signal current through the feeding structure 230 onto the main radiating arm 220.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the antenna device 200 of the embodiment of the present application may further include a sub-radiating arm 250, and the sub-radiating arm 250 is disposed in the radiating cavity 223.
Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in a specific arrangement, an end of the auxiliary radiating arm 250 facing the metal floor 210 may extend to the metal floor 210, a second gap 226 is formed between an end of the auxiliary radiating arm 250 facing the top wall 222 and the top wall 222, for example, a bottom of the auxiliary radiating arm 250 is fixed on the metal floor 210, and a second gap 226 is formed between a top of the auxiliary radiating arm 250 and the top wall 222, so that a signal current on the top wall 222 may be fed to the auxiliary radiating arm 250 through the second gap 226, so that a signal current is formed on the auxiliary radiating arm 250, and electromagnetic waves are radiated, so that the antenna device 200 excites more resonance points, the bandwidth of the whole antenna device 200 is widened, the antenna device 200 can cover more frequency bands, and the utilization rate of the antenna device 200 is improved.
In addition, when the end of the auxiliary radiating arm 250 facing the metal floor 210 may extend onto the metal floor 210, a second gap 226 is formed between the end of the auxiliary radiating arm 250 facing the top wall 222 and the top wall 222, and the auxiliary radiating arm 250, the second gap 226 and the top wall 222 form a filtering structure, so that the auxiliary radiating arm 250 is coupled to feed the high-frequency signal current, and filters the low-frequency signal current, so that the electromagnetic wave signal in the high frequency band is excited by the auxiliary radiating arm 250. The smaller the distance between the second gaps 226, the larger the projection area of the auxiliary radiating arm 250 onto the top wall 222, and the higher the frequency band of the signal current fed by the auxiliary radiating arm 250.
It is understood that the filtering principle of the filtering structure may directly refer to the conventional antenna technology, and will not be described herein.

Meanwhile, the auxiliary radiating arm 250, the third gap 227 and the metal floor 210 together form a filtering structure, so that the auxiliary radiating arm 250 is coupled to feed in high-frequency signal current, and filters out low-frequency signal current, thereby exciting high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals through the auxiliary radiating arm 250. It will be appreciated that the smaller the distance between the third gaps 227, the larger the projected area of the auxiliary radiating arms 250 onto the metal floor 210, and the higher the frequency band of the signal current to which the auxiliary radiating arms 250 are coupled.

Referring to fig. 21 (e), the antenna device 200 excites a TE20 mode formed by feeding to the first side wall 2211 during radiation, in which mode there are two spaced regions, i.e., region P and region Q, near the first side wall 2211. The current in the region P and the region Q flows in the direction of the metal floor 210, and a current zero occurs in the region P and the region Q, and the TE20 mode fed to the first side wall 2211 forms a resonance point w, that is, the TE20 mode fed to the first side wall 2211 forms a 6.4GHz band.

Example III
The embodiment of the application also provides an electronic device 10, which comprises an electronic device body 100 and at least one antenna device 200. The antenna device 200 may be the antenna device 200 in any of the above embodiments.
The antenna device 200 is fixed on the back plate 110 of the electronic device body 100, so that electromagnetic waves in the main radiation arm 220 and the radiation cavity 223 of the antenna device 200 radiate out through the opening 224 to a greater extent, and then radiate to the front of the screen of the electronic device 10 through the side of the electronic device 10.
Illustratively, the antenna device 200 may be fixed on any side of the back plate 110, so that a path of electromagnetic waves emitted by the antenna device 200 to the front of a screen of the television is shortened, and loss of the antenna device 200 in the radiation path is reduced, thereby improving forward gain of the antenna device 200 and optimizing performance of a front-screen antenna of the television.
Fig. 22 is a schematic view of the antenna device of fig. 1 positioned outside two bases. Referring to fig. 1 and 22, in practical application, the television set body of the television set further includes a plurality of bases 120 disposed at the bottom of the back plate 110 at intervals, and the electronic device 10 is stably fixed on a fixing surface such as a wall surface by the bases 120. For example, two bases 120 may be disposed at intervals at the bottom of the back plate 110 of the television, and for convenience of description, the base 120 located at the left side is used as the first base 121, and the base 120 located at the right side is used as the second base 122.
Referring to fig. 1, the antenna device 200 may be fixed to any one of the left, right and upper sides of the back plate 110. As shown in fig. 22, in some examples, the antenna device 200 may also be fixed on the bottom edge of the back plate 110 where the base 120 is provided, and the position of the antenna device 200 is not limited in particular according to the embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 22, the antenna device 200 is exemplarily disposed at the bottom side of the back plate 110, and the antenna device 200 may be disposed at any position between the left side of the back plate 110 and the first chassis 121, that is, the distance m3 between the antenna device 200 and the left side of the back plate 110 may be any value.
The distance between the antenna device 200 and the left side of the back plate 110 refers to the distance between the left side and the side of the antenna device 200 facing the left side.
Fig. 23 is a graph showing the radiation effect of the antenna in fig. 22 when the antenna device is located at a different position. Referring to fig. 23, taking m3 as 12mm, 32mm, and 52mm as an example, the radiation performance of the antenna device 200 is studied, and when the curve q2 in fig. 23 represents the sum of three S11 parameter curves of the antenna device 200 in the case where m3 is 12mm, 32mm, and 52mm, it can be seen that the three S11 parameter curves substantially overlap. In addition, simulation experiments show that when m3 is 12mm, 32mm, and 52mm, the directivity coefficients of the antenna device 200 are 4.93dBi, 4.92dBi, and 4.74dBi, and the forward gains are 1.3dB, 1.4dB, and 1.7dB, respectively.
As can be seen, when the antenna device 200 is disposed at an arbitrary position between the left side of the back plate 110 and the first chassis 121, the antenna S11 parameter, the directivity coefficient, and the forward gain are relatively stable and do not change with the position change.
Fig. 24 is a schematic view of the antenna device of fig. 1 positioned between two bases. Referring to fig. 24, the antenna device 200 may be disposed at an arbitrary position between the first chassis 121 and the second chassis 122, that is, when the antenna device 200 is disposed between the first chassis 121 and the second chassis 122, the distance m4 between the antenna device 200 and the first chassis 121 may be an arbitrary value.
The distance between the antenna device 200 and the first base 121 refers to a distance between a side of the antenna device 200 facing the first base 121 and the first base 121.
Taking m4 as 0mm、5mm、25mm、45mm、65mm、85mm、105mm、125mm、145mm、185mm、225mm、265mm、305mm、345mm、385mm、425mm、465mm、505mm、545mm、585mm and 625mm as an example, the radiation performance of the antenna device 200 was studied. As shown by simulation experiments, when m4 is 0mm、5mm、25mm、45mm、65mm、85mm、105mm、125mm、145mm、185mm、225mm、265mm、305mm、345mm、385mm、425mm、465mm、505mm、545mm、585mm mm and m4 is 625mm, the directivity coefficients of the antenna device 200 are 5.97dBi、4.47dBi、4.96dBi、5.05dBi、5.2dBi、5.02dBi、4.89dBi、4.65dBi、4.45dBi、4.47dBi、4.57dBi、4.54dBi、4.46dBi、4.53dBi、4.52dBi、4.52dBi、4.51dBi、4.49dBi、4.82dBi、4.93dBi dBi and 4.92dBi, and the forward gains are 1dB、1.9dB、1.6dB、1.45dB、1.28dB、1.14dB、1.16dB、1.32dB、1.36dB、1.16dB、1.23dB、1.3dB、1.14dB、1.14dB、1.41dB、1.15dB、1.2dB、1.24dB、1.11dB、1.39dB dB and 1.67dB, respectively.
As can be seen from this, when the antenna device 200 is disposed at an arbitrary position between the first base 121 and the second base 122, the antenna directivity coefficient and the forward gain are relatively stable and do not change with the position change. Therefore, in the antenna design, the antenna device 200 can be arranged at a proper position on the back of the television according to the specific practical situation of the project.
By arranging the antenna device 200 on the back plate 110 of the electronic device body 100, the electromagnetic waves radiated by the antenna device 200 radiate to the front of the screen of the electronic device 10 through the opening 224 of the antenna device 200, and electromagnetic waves radiated to other areas are effectively reduced due to the blocking of the annular side wall 221 of the antenna device 200, so that the forward gain of the frequency band 2.4Gwifi and other frequency bands of the antenna device 200 is improved, and the directivity coefficients of the frequency band 2.4Gwifi and other frequency bands of the antenna device 200 are reduced.
In addition, by setting the antenna device 200 to be a cavity structure with the side wall having the opening 224, a plurality of resonance points can be excited in the feeding process, so that the bandwidth of the antenna device 200 is widened, more frequency bands can be covered, the antenna performance of the antenna device 200 is improved, and the display performance and functional requirements of the electronic device 10 are optimized.
Referring to fig. 1, in practice, the back plate 110 of the electronic device 10 may be a metal back plate, which may be configured as the metal floor 210 of the antenna apparatus 200. For example, when the electronic device 10 is a television, the back plate 110 of the television may be used as the metal floor 210 of the antenna apparatus 200. When the antenna device 200 is assembled on the back of the television, the main radiating arm 220, the feed structure 230 and the auxiliary radiating arm 250 may be directly fixed on the back of the television, so that the structures of the antenna device 200 and the electronic device 10, for example, the television are simplified, the manufacturing cost of the electronic device 10 is reduced, the assembly efficiency of the electronic device 10 is improved, and the weight of the electronic device 10 is reduced.
In addition, in some applications, the exterior of the back plate 110 of the electronic device 10 is further provided with a metal frame, such as a metal plate, and the antenna device 200 is disposed between the back plate 110 and the metal frame. Wherein, the outer part of the back plate 110 refers to the side of the back plate 110 facing away from the screen. For example, the exterior of the back plate 110 of the television may in some applications be provided with a metal frame, such as a metal plate, between which the antenna device 200 is located.
Because of the structural specificity of the antenna device 200 according to the embodiment of the present application, that is, the antenna device 200 according to the embodiment of the present application has a cavity structure with the opening 224 on the side wall, that is, other areas except for the opening 224 are closed structures, electromagnetic waves of the antenna device 200 are mainly radiated to the front of the screen through the opening 224 on the side wall, and the distribution of signal currents of the antenna device 200 is concentrated, so that the antenna performance of the antenna device 200 is not degraded due to the arrangement of the metal frame.
Fig. 25 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 25, the number of the antenna devices 200 in the embodiment of the application is at least two, and at least two antenna devices 200 are respectively disposed on two adjacent sides of the back plate 110.
First, taking two antenna devices 200 as an example, referring to fig. 25, one antenna device 200 is provided on each of the bottom and left sides of the back plate 110. Wherein, the horizontal distance m5 between the two antenna devices 200 is at least 18mm, and the vertical distance m6 between the two antenna devices 200 is at least 27mm, so as to further improve the isolation between the two antenna devices 200 and ensure that the two antenna devices do not interfere with each other.
It should be noted that, the numerical values and the numerical ranges related to the embodiments of the present application are approximate values, and may have a certain range of errors under the influence of the manufacturing process, and those errors may be considered to be negligible by those skilled in the art.
Illustratively, the horizontal distance m5 between the two antenna devices 200 may be a suitable value of 18mm, 20mm, 25mm, or 30mm, and the vertical distance m6 between the two antenna devices 200 may be a suitable value of 27mm, 30mm, 35mm, or 40 mm.
Taking 18mm for m5 and 27mm for m6 as an example, experimental studies on radiation performance were performed on the two antenna devices 200 in the electronic apparatus 10 of fig. 25. Referring to fig. 25, for convenience of description, the antenna device 200 located at the bottom side of the back plate 110 is referred to as a first antenna device 201, and the antenna device 200 located at the left side of the back plate 110 is referred to as a second antenna device 202.

In addition, the curve u1 is the isolation between the two antenna devices 200, and it can be seen that the isolation is 27dB or more, and the isolation is good.
Fig. 27 is a simulated far field pattern of the first antenna arrangement of fig. 25, and fig. 28 is a simulated far field pattern of the second antenna arrangement of fig. 25. Referring to fig. 27 and 28, it is known through simulation experiments that the maximum directions of the first antenna device 201 and the second antenna device 202 in the radiation process are on a horizontal plane (such as the x-y plane in fig. 27 and 28), and far field patterns of the two are complementary, which can be used as wifi MIMO layout. In addition, the simulation experiment shows that the directivity coefficient of the first antenna device 201 is 4.7dBi, the directivity coefficient of the second antenna device 202 is 5.4dBi, and the directivity coefficient is better than that of the conventional antenna device.
In the embodiment of the application, at least one antenna device 200 is respectively arranged on two adjacent side edges of the back plate 110, so that the two antenna devices 200 can form wifi MIMO layout, thereby enhancing the radiation intensity of the antenna device 200 on the electronic equipment 10, and widening the coverage frequency band of the antenna device 200 on the electronic equipment 10, thereby improving the signal transmission performance of the electronic equipment 10.
In addition, since each antenna device 200 has a cavity structure with an opening 224 at one side, isolation between the antenna devices 200 is improved, and signal interference between the antenna devices 200 is avoided. Meanwhile, far field patterns of the two antenna devices 200 located on the adjacent two sides are complementary, so that continuity of coverage frequency bands of the formed wifi MIMO antenna is ensured.
The above example is to provide one antenna device 200 on each of the adjacent two sides of the back plate 110.
In some examples, at least two antenna devices 200 may be disposed on at least one of the two adjacent sides of the back plate 110 at intervals.

Referring to fig. 29, for example, in addition to fig. 25, one antenna device is further provided at a distance from the first antenna device at the bottom side of the back plate 110. For convenience of description, the antenna device 200 on the first antenna device 201 side is referred to as a third antenna device 203.
Illustratively, the first antenna device 201 and the third antenna device 203 may be disposed at left and right sides of the first chassis 121, respectively.
Fig. 30 is an antenna radiation effect diagram of the three antenna devices of fig. 29. Referring to fig. 30, q4 is a generic term for S11 parameter curves of three antenna devices 200, and it can be seen that the S11 parameter curves of the three antenna devices 200 substantially overlap. The curve u2 is a curve of the isolation between the first antenna device 201 and the second antenna device 202, and it can be seen that the isolation between the first antenna device 201 and the second antenna device 202 is 28dB or more, the isolation is good, the curve u3 is a curve of the isolation between the first antenna device 201 and the third antenna device 203, the curve u4 is a curve of the isolation between the second antenna device 202 and the third antenna device 203, and it can be seen that the isolation between the first antenna device 201 and the third antenna device 203 and the isolation between the second antenna device 202 and the third antenna device 203 are 39dB or more.
In practical applications, the above three-antenna system may be used as a2×wifi+bt system, for example, the first antenna device 201 and the second antenna device 202 with complementary far-field patterns may be used as wifi antennas to optimize signal transmission performance with the router, and the third antenna device 203 may be used as a bluetooth antenna to optimize signal transmission performance with the remote controller.
In addition, due to the structural characteristics of each antenna device 200, the isolation between two adjacent antenna devices 200 is ensured, and it is ensured that mutual interference between each antenna device 200 does not occur.
According to the embodiment of the application, the plurality of antenna devices 200 are arranged at intervals on one side edge of the back plate 110, so that the radiation intensity of the antenna devices 200 on the electronic equipment 10 is further enhanced while the space of the back plate 110 of the electronic equipment 10 is reasonably utilized, and meanwhile, the coverage frequency range of the antenna devices 200 on the electronic equipment 10 is widened, thereby optimizing the performance of the electronic equipment 10.
