DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

[0036] The terms “first” and “second” in embodiments of this application are merely intended for a purpose of description, and shall not be understood as an indication or implication of relative importance or implicit indication of a quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature limited by “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0037] For convenience of carrying or cost saving, a size of a communications device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a base station, especially a terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer is designed to be smaller with smaller internal space for installing an antenna. It has become a trend to design the antenna structure to be a low-profile structure and package the antenna structure in a circuit board. However, because a thickness of the circuit board is relatively small, when the antenna structure is packaged in the circuit board with a relatively small thickness, a profile of the antenna structure needs to be made quite small. However, a smaller profile of the antenna structure indicates a narrower bandwidth. Therefore, how to expand a bandwidth of the antenna structure with a low profile while lowering the profile of the antenna structure becomes an urgent problem to be resolved.

[0038] To resolve the foregoing problem, FIG. 2 is provided, which is a schematic diagram of a structure of a communications device according to some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 2, the communications device includes a housing 1 and a circuit board 2 disposed in the housing 1, and the circuit board 2 is a circuit board with an antenna structure. The communications device includes but is not limited to a terminal or a base station. In some embodiments, the communications device is a terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0039] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a circuit board 2 with an antenna structure according to some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 3, the circuit board 2 with an antenna structure includes a circuit board 21 and at least one antenna structure 22 disposed on the circuit board 21.

[0040] FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are schematic diagrams of a structure of an antenna structure 22 according to some embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the antenna structure 22 includes a signal reference ground 221, a first radiation patch 222, a second radiation patch 223, and at least one feed probe 224. The first radiation patch 222 and the signal reference ground 221 are stacked and spaced apart. The second radiation patch 223 is located on a side that is of the first radiation patch 222 and that is away from the signal reference ground 221, and the second radiation patch 223 and the first radiation patch 222 are stacked and spaced apart. The at least one feed probe 224 is located between the first radiation patch 222 and the signal reference ground 221. As shown in FIG. 5, each feed probe 224 includes a first end 2241 and a second end 2242 that are opposite to each other. The first end 2241 is a signal input end. As shown in FIG. 6, a projection position a of the first end 2241 on a plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located is outside a projection area A of the first radiation patch 222 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located. A projection position b of the second end 2242 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located is inside the projection area A of the first radiation patch 222 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located. As shown in FIG. 4, the second end 2242 is electrically connected to the signal reference ground 221. A part 224a that is of each feed probe 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 is capable of feeding the first radiation patch 222 and the second radiation patch 223 in a coupled feeding manner.

[0041] It should be noted that the part 224a that is of the feed probe 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 is a part that is of a projection area of the feed probe 224 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located and that is within the projection area A of the first radiation patch 222 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located.

[0042] The antenna structure 22 provided in embodiments of this application, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, includes the signal reference ground 221, the first radiation patch 222, the second radiation patch 223, and the at least one feed probe 224. The first radiation patch 222 and the signal reference ground 221 are stacked and spaced apart. The second radiation patch 223 is located on the side that is of the first radiation patch 222 and that is away from the signal reference ground 221, and the second radiation patch 223 and the first radiation patch 222 are stacked and spaced apart. The at least one feed probe 224 is located between the first radiation patch 222 and the signal reference ground 221. As shown in FIG. 5, each feed probe 224 includes the first end 2241 and the second end 2242 that are opposite to each other. The first end 2241 is a signal input end. As shown in FIG. 6, the projection position a of the first end 2241 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located is outside the projection area A of the first radiation patch 222 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located. The projection position b of the second end 2242 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located is inside the projection area A of the first radiation patch 222 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located. As shown in FIG. 4, a part that is of each feed probe 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 is capable of feeding the first radiation patch 222 and the second radiation patch 223 in a coupled feeding manner. When one feed probe 224 performs feeding, the two radiation patches (namely, the first radiation patch 222 and the second radiation patch 223) are passed, generating two resonances. Further, because the second end 2242 of the feed probe is electrically connected to the signal reference ground 221 (as shown in FIG. 4), impedance matching performance between the two resonances can be improved, thereby increasing an impedance bandwidth. In other words, a profile of the antenna structure 22 can be lowered while a same relative bandwidth is met, so that the antenna structure 22 can be packaged in a circuit board in a communications device.

[0043] The antenna structure 22 in the circuit board 2 with an antenna structure provided in this embodiment of this application is the same as an antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the antenna structure 22. Therefore, the two antenna structures can resolve a same technical problem and achieve a same expected effect.

[0044] The circuit board 2 in the communications device provided in this embodiment of this application is the same as a circuit board with an antenna structure provided in the embodiment of the circuit board 2 with an antenna structure. Therefore, the two circuit boards can resolve a same technical problem and achieve a same expected effect.

[0045] The antenna structure 22 may be fabricated on a surface of the circuit board 21, or may be packaged in the circuit board 21. This is not specifically limited herein.

[0046] In some embodiments, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a circuit board with an antenna structure according to some other embodiments of this application. As shown in FIG. 7, the circuit board 21 includes a first dielectric layer 211, a second dielectric layer 212, and a third dielectric layer 213 that are sequentially stacked. A signal reference ground 221 is a metal layer disposed on a surface that is of the first dielectric layer 211 and that is away from the second dielectric layer 212. At least one feed probe 224 is a metal layer disposed on a surface that is of the first dielectric layer 211 and that faces the second dielectric layer 213, or the at least one feed probe 224 is a metal layer disposed on a surface that is of the second dielectric layer 212 and that faces the first dielectric layer 211. A first radiation patch 222 is a metal layer disposed on a surface that is of the second dielectric layer 212 and that is away from the first dielectric layer 211. A second radiation patch 223 is a metal layer disposed on a surface that is of the third dielectric layer 213 and that is away from the second dielectric layer 212. In this way, the antenna structure 22 is packaged in the circuit board 21 by using the existing dielectric layers in the circuit board 21, and the antenna structure 22 does not need to occupy an external space of the circuit board 21. This facilitates a miniaturized design for a communications device. In addition, because surface precision of the dielectric layer is relatively high, using the dielectric layer as a bearing medium helps improve size precision of each structure in the antenna structure 22.

[0047] In the foregoing embodiment, the first dielectric layer 211, the second dielectric layer 212, and the third dielectric layer 213 are press-fitted by using a thermo compression process.

[0048] In addition to the first dielectric layer 211, the second dielectric layer 212, and the third dielectric layer 213, the circuit board may further include another dielectric layer. This is not specifically limited herein.

[0049] To implement electrical connection between the second end 2242 of the feed probe 224 and the signal reference ground 221, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the at least one feed probe 224 is a metal layer disposed on a surface that is of the first dielectric layer 211 and that faces the second dielectric layer 212, and a metallized via hole 225 is provided at a location of the first dielectric plate layer 211 corresponding to the second end 2242 of each feed probe 224. The metallized via hole 225 penetrates the first dielectric layer 211. The second end 2242 of the feed probe 224 is electrically connected to the signal reference ground 221 through the metallized via hole 225. Providing the metallized via hole 225 on the dielectric layer has relatively high precision, low costs, and is easy to implement.

[0050] To obtain a relatively large antenna bandwidth, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, a length d of the part that is of each feed probe 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 is 0.4 to 0.6 times a wavelength. When the length of the part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 falls within this range, the antenna structure 22 has a relatively large bandwidth and a relatively low profile.

[0051] The part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 is a part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is used to feed the first radiation patch 222. A part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is face-to-face with the second radiation patch 223 is a part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is used to feed the second radiation patch 223. To ensure that a length of the part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is used to feed the first radiation patch 222 is approximately equal to a length of the part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is used to feed the second radiation patch 223, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a projection area of the first radiation patch 222 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located is the first projection area A, and a projection area of the second radiation patch 223 on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located is the second projection area B. The center O of the first projection area A coincides with the center O of the second projection area B. As a result, a distance between an edge of the first projection area A and an edge of the second projection area B is relatively short, and the length of the part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is used to feed the first radiation patch 222 is approximately equal to the length of the part that is of the feed probe 224 and that is used to feed the second radiation patch 223.

[0052] To increase transmitting and receiving capacities of the antenna structure 22, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the at least one feed probe 224 includes two feed probes 224. A projection area, on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located, of a part 224a that is of one of the two feed probes 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 is a third projection area C1. The third projection area C1 is perpendicular to a first axis l.sub.1 that passes through the center O of the first projection area A and that is on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located, and the third projection area C1 is axially symmetrical with respect to the first axis l.sub.1. A projection area, on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located, of a part 224a that is of the other one of the two feed probes 224 and that is face-to-face with the first radiation patch 222 is a fourth projection area C2. The fourth projection area C2 is perpendicular to a second axis 12 that passes through the center O of the first projection area A and that is on the plane on which the signal reference ground 221 is located, and the fourth projection area C2 is axially symmetrical with respect to the second axis l.sub.2. The first axis l.sub.1 is perpendicular to the second axis l.sub.2. In this way, dual polarization of the antenna structure 22 may be implemented by using the two feed probes 224, so that the antenna structure 22 can simultaneously transmit or receive two signals, thereby increasing transmitting and receiving capacities of the antenna structure 22, ensuring relatively high isolation between two polarization directions, and avoiding cross interference.

[0053] Optionally, both the first radiation patch 222 and the second radiation patch 223 are in the shape of a square. In this way, when the antenna structures 22 form an array, cross interference between two adjacent antenna structures 22 is relatively weak.

[0054] To verify practicability of the dual-polarized antenna structure shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the following operations are performed: Only a port 1 (namely, a first end of one feed probe 224) in FIG. 5 is excited; for an obtained input return loss curve, refer to S11 in FIG. 8; for electric field distribution on the first radiation patch 222 at a frequency of 29 GHz, refer to FIG. 10; for electric field distribution on the second radiation patch 223 at a frequency of 25 GHz, refer to FIG. 9. Only a port 2 (namely, a first end of the other feed probe 224) in FIG. 5 is excited; for an obtained input return loss curve, refer to S22 in FIG. 8; for obtained isolation between the port 1 and the port 2, refer to S12 in FIG. 8. It can be learned from FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10 that, when feeding is performed through any one of the feed probes 224, the two radiation patches (that is, the first radiation patch 222 and the second radiation patch 223) can both generate two resonances. In addition, when a return relative bandwidth is 25%, isolation between the port 1 and the port 2 is below—15 dB. In other words, the bandwidth is relatively large and the isolation is relatively good. Therefore, the dual-polarized antenna structure can be used.

[0055] To obtain a relatively large antenna gain, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, at least one antenna structure 22 on a circuit board includes a plurality of antenna structures 22, and an array of the plurality of antenna structures 22 is disposed on the circuit board. In this way, a relatively large antenna gain can be obtained by using the array of the antenna structures 22.

[0056] To verify practicability of the antenna structure array shown in FIG. 11 in which a distance between two adjacent antenna structures 22 is shown as 5 mm, the following operations are performed: Only a port 1 in FIG. 11 is excited; for an obtained input return loss curve, refer to S11 in FIG. 12; for obtained isolation between the port 1 and a port 2, refer to S12 in FIG. 12; for obtained isolation between the port 1 and a port 3, refer to S13 in FIG. 12. It can be learned from FIG. 12 that, in an array including the antenna structures 22, a return relative bandwidth greater than 25% i, isolation of adjacent co-polarized ports (that is, S13) is below—15 dB; isolation of heteropolar ports (that is, S12) is below—15 dB. In other words, the bandwidth is relatively large and the isolation is relatively good. Therefore, the array including the antenna structures can be used.
