Definitions
- This disclosure relates to an antenna module and a communication device equipped with the same, and more specifically, to a technology for reducing the height of the antenna module.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an antenna module in which two substrates with different normal directions are arranged in a substantially L-shape, and which is capable of radiating radio waves in two directions. Furthermore, Patent Document 1 also discloses a dual-band configuration in which two radiating elements of different sizes are arranged in a stack on each substrate, and which is capable of radiating radio waves in two frequency bands.
- Antenna modules such as those described above may be used in mobile communication devices such as mobile phones or smartphones.
- mobile communication devices such as mobile phones or smartphones.
- antenna modules there is a demand for antenna modules to be even smaller and thinner due to the miniaturization of the devices themselves and/or the increased density of internal equipment.
- the board area becomes smaller as the height is reduced.
- a reduction in the board area i.e., the area of the ground electrode, can be a factor in reducing the antenna gain.
- the impact on the gain of the antenna on the low-frequency side, where the radiating element is relatively large in size can be significant.
- the present disclosure has been made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to suppress the decrease in gain of the antenna on the low frequency side in a dual-band type antenna module capable of radiating radio waves in two different directions.
- An antenna module configured to receive a signal from a baseband circuit and radiate radio waves.
- the antenna module includes a dielectric substrate, a first radiating element to a third radiating element, and a first connector.
- the dielectric substrate has a first flat plate portion and a second flat plate portion having different normal directions.
- the first radiating element and the second radiating element are disposed on the first flat plate portion.
- the third radiating element is disposed on the second flat plate portion.
- the antenna module is configured to be capable of transmitting a high-frequency signal to a fourth radiating element disposed externally via the first connector.
- the size of the first radiating element is smaller than the size of the second radiating element.
- the size of the third radiating element is smaller than the size of the fourth radiating element.
- An antenna module configured to receive a signal from a baseband circuit and radiate radio waves.
- the antenna module includes a dielectric substrate, a fifth radiating element, a sixth radiating element, and a first connector.
- the dielectric substrate has a first flat plate portion and a second flat plate portion having different normal directions.
- the fifth radiating element is disposed on the first flat plate portion.
- the sixth radiating element is disposed on the second flat plate portion.
- the antenna module is capable of transmitting a high-frequency signal to a seventh radiating element disposed externally via the first connector.
- the size of the sixth radiating element is smaller than the size of the seventh radiating element.
- the relatively high-frequency radiating element third radiating element
- high-frequency signals are transmitted to the relatively low-frequency radiating element (fourth radiating element) via a connector.
- This configuration makes it possible to dispose the low-frequency radiating element, which is prone to gain reduction due to substrate area constraints, i.e., the relatively large radiating element, outside the dielectric substrate. Therefore, in a dual-band type antenna module capable of radiating radio waves in two different directions, it is possible to suppress the reduction in antenna gain for the low-frequency radiating element due to the size constraints of the dielectric substrate.

- the communication device 10 is, for example, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a tablet, or a personal computer equipped with a communication function.
- An example of the frequency band of radio waves used in the antenna module 100 according to the present embodiment is a millimeter wave band radio wave having a center frequency of, for example, 28 GHz, 39 GHz, or 60 GHz, but radio waves of other frequency bands are also applicable.

- the antenna module 100 includes an RFIC 110, which is an example of a power supply device, and an antenna device 120.
- the communication device 10 upconverts an intermediate frequency (IF) signal transmitted from the BBIC 200 to the antenna module 100 into a high-frequency signal and radiates the high-frequency signal from the antenna device 120, and downconverts the high-frequency signal received by the antenna device 120 and processes the signal in the BBIC 200.
- IF intermediate frequency
- the antenna device 120 includes a flat plate portion 131 on which the radiating elements 121 and 122 are arranged, and a flat plate portion 135 on which the radiating element 125 and the connector 171 are arranged. As described later in FIG. 2, the flat plate portion 131 and the flat plate portion 135 form a dielectric substrate 130.

Alternatively, a configuration in which a radiating element is arranged individually on each board may be used.
- Radiating elements 121, 122, 125, and 126 are flat patch antennas having a circular, elliptical, or polygonal shape. In this embodiment, each radiating element is described as a microstrip antenna having a substantially square shape.
- the size of the radiating element 121 is smaller than the size of the radiating element 122. Therefore, the frequency band of the radio waves radiated from the radiating element 121 is higher than the frequency band of the radio waves radiated from the radiating element 122. Similarly, the size of the radiating element 125 is smaller than the size of the radiating element 126, and the frequency band of the radio waves radiated from the radiating element 125 is higher than the frequency band of the radio waves radiated from the radiating element 126. Note that in the antenna module 100 of the first embodiment, the frequency band of the radio waves radiated from the radiating element 121 is the same as the frequency band of the radio waves radiated from the radiating element 125.
- the antenna module 100 is a so-called dual-band type antenna module capable of radiating radio waves of two different frequency bands.
- the RFIC 110 includes four power feed circuits 110A to 110D.

- the power feed circuit 110D is a circuit for supplying a high-frequency signal to the radiating element 126 of the dielectric substrate 150. Since the internal configurations of the power feed circuits 110A to 110D are the same, in FIG. 1, the detailed configuration of only the power feed circuit 110A is shown for ease of explanation, and the configurations of the power feed circuits 110B to 110D are omitted.

- the intermediate frequency signal transmitted from the BBIC 200 is amplified by the amplifier circuit 119 and up-converted by the mixer 118.
- the up-converted high frequency signal, the transmission signal is split into four by the signal combiner/distributor 116, passes through the corresponding signal paths, and is fed to the different radiating elements 121.
- the signal combiner/distributor 116 By individually adjusting the phase shift of the phase shifters 115A-115D arranged on each signal path, the directivity of the radio waves output from the radiating element 121 can be adjusted.
- the attenuators 114A-114D adjust the strength of the transmission signal.
- the received signal which is a high-frequency signal received by each radiating element 121, is transmitted to the power supply circuit 110A of the RFIC 110 and is combined in the signal combiner/distributor 116 via four different signal paths.

- a power supply line from the power supply circuit 110D is connected to the connector 171 of the flat plate portion 135.
- a power supply cable 180 for transmitting a high-frequency signal to the radiating element 126 of the dielectric substrate 150 is connected to the connector 171, as described later in FIG. 3. That is, a high-frequency signal is supplied to the radiating element 126 from the power supply circuit 110D via the connector 171.
- the dielectric substrate 150 and the radiating element 126 may be elements external to the antenna module 100, and are configured to be detachable at the connector 171.
- the RFIC 110 is formed, for example, as a one-chip integrated circuit component including the above circuit configuration. Alternatively, it may be formed as an individual integrated circuit component for each power supply circuit. Furthermore, for the devices corresponding to each radiating element (switch, power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, attenuator, phase shifter), it may be formed as a one-chip integrated circuit component for each corresponding radiating element.
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the antenna module 100 according to the first embodiment.
- Fig. 3 is a side see-through view of the antenna module 100 in Fig. 2 as viewed from the positive direction of the X-axis.
- Fig. 4 is a plan view of the antenna module 100 in Fig. 2 as viewed from the positive direction of the Z-axis.
- the dielectric substrate 130 is composed of the flat plate portions 131 and 135 as described above.
- the flat plate portions 131 and 135 constituting the dielectric substrate 130 are, for example, a low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) multi-layer substrate, a multi-layer resin substrate formed by laminating multiple resin layers composed of resins such as epoxy and polyimide, a multi-layer resin substrate formed by laminating multiple resin layers composed of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) having a lower dielectric constant, a multi-layer resin substrate formed by laminating multiple resin layers composed of fluorine-based resin, a multi-layer resin substrate formed by laminating multiple resin layers composed of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) material, or a ceramic multi-layer substrate other than LTCC.

- the flat plate portion 131 is a flat plate-shaped substrate having substantially rectangular main surfaces 132 and 133 with the Z-axis direction as the normal direction.
- the long side direction of the flat plate portion 131 is the X-axis
- the short side direction is the Y-axis.
- a SiP (System In Package) module 105 and a connector 172 are mounted on the main surface 133 of the flat plate portion 131 in the positive direction of the Z axis.
- the SiP module 105 and the connector 172 are arranged spaced apart from each other in the X axis direction on the main surface 133.
- the SiP module 105 is arranged adjacent to the flat plate portion 135 in the Y axis direction.
- the connector 172 is a connection member used to connect to an external device such as the mounting board 20.
- the connector 172 receives an intermediate frequency signal from the BBIC 200 arranged on the mounting board 20, and transmits the received intermediate frequency signal to the SiP module 105.
- the SiP module 105 has a circuit built in on a substrate, on which an RFIC 110, as well as a power module IC and a power inductor (not shown) are mounted. As shown in FIG. 3, the circuit is molded with resin 107, and is electrically connected to the flat plate portion 131 by connecting members such as solder bumps 160.
- a shielding member 106 configured to block electromagnetic waves is disposed on the outer periphery of the SiP module 105. This shielding member 106 prevents electromagnetic waves generated in the circuitry inside the SiP module 105 from leaking to the outside, thereby suppressing the effects on external devices. The shielding member 106 also prevents electromagnetic noise from entering the circuitry inside the SiP module 105 from the outside.
- the radiating element 121 is disposed on a layer close to the principal surface 132 of the flat plate portion 131 in the negative direction of the Z axis.
- the radiating element 121 may be disposed on an inner layer of the flat plate portion 131 as shown in FIG. 3, or may be exposed on the principal surface 132.

- a radiating element 122 is disposed on a layer between the radiating element 121 and the ground electrode GND1, facing the radiating element 121 and the ground electrode GND1.
- a high-frequency signal is transmitted from the RFIC 110 to the radiating element 121 via the power supply wiring 141.
- the power supply wiring 141 is connected to the radiating element 121 from the solder bump 160 of the SiP module 105, passing through the ground electrode GND1 and the radiating element 122.
- a high-frequency signal is transmitted from the RFIC 110 to the radiating element 122 via the power supply wiring 142.
- the power supply wiring 142 is connected to the radiating element 122 from the solder bump 160 of the SiP module 105, passing through the ground electrode GND1.
- the radiating elements 121 and 122 do not necessarily have to be stacked as shown in FIG. 3, and each of the radiating elements 121 and 122 may be arranged individually.
- the flat portion 135 is a flat substrate having approximately rectangular main surfaces 136, 137 with the Y-axis direction as its normal direction.
- the normal direction of the flat portion 131 is perpendicular to the normal direction of the flat portion 135.
- the long side direction of the flat portion 135 is along the X-axis direction, and the short side direction of the flat portion 135 is along the Z-axis direction.
- the flat portion 135 is connected to the flat portion 131 on the side surface of the flat portion 131 facing in the positive direction of the Y-axis.
- the flat plate portion 131 is disposed on the main surface 137 side of the flat plate portion 135. That is, the dielectric substrate 130 has a substantially L-shape when viewed in a plan view from the X-axis direction.
- the dimension of the flat plate portion 135 in the Y-axis direction is shorter than the dimension of the flat plate portion 131 in the Y-axis direction.
- the connector 172 of the flat plate portion 131 is disposed at a position on the flat plate portion 131 where it does not overlap with the flat plate portion 135 when viewed in a plan view from the Y-axis direction. By disposing the connector 172 at such a position, it is possible to suppress interference with devices mounted on the mounting substrate 20 when the antenna module 100 is connected to the mounting substrate 20.
- a connector 171 is disposed on the principal surface 137 of the flat plate portion 135 in the negative direction of the Y axis.
- the connector 171 is disposed on the principal surface 137 such that at least a portion of the connector 171 overlaps the SiP 105 when viewed in a plan view from the Y axis direction.
- the connector 171 may be disposed on the principal surface 133 of the flat plate portion 131, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 2.
- the connector 171 transmits a high-frequency signal from the RFIC 110 to the radiating element 126 of the dielectric substrate 150 via the power supply wiring 146.
- the power supply wiring 146 extends from the solder bumps 160 of the SiP module 105 through the main surface 133 of the flat portion 131 and the main surface 137 of the flat portion 135 and is connected to the connector 171.
- the power supply wiring 146 may be arranged to extend through the inner layers of the flat portions 131 and 135.
- a connector 173 provided at the end of a power supply cable 180 for transmitting a high-frequency signal to the radiating element 126 of the dielectric substrate 150 is connected to the connector 171.
- the output terminal from the SiP module 105 extends in the Y-axis direction on the main surface 133, and the input terminal to the connector 171 extends in the Z-axis direction on the main surface 137. In this way, the output direction of the signal from the SiP module 105 and the input direction of the signal to the connector 171 are perpendicular to each other, thereby preventing unnecessary coupling between the SiP module 105 and the connector 171. This makes it possible to suppress a decrease in isolation between the radiating elements in the dielectric substrate 150.
- the connector 171 When viewed in a plan view from the normal direction of the flat plate portion 135, i.e., the Y-axis direction, the connector 171 has a generally rectangular shape with long and short sides.
- the long side of the connector 171 is arranged along the X-axis direction.
- the connector 171 is arranged so that the direction along the short side intersects with the flat plate portion 131.
- This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the height of the antenna module 100, i.e., the dimension in the Z-axis direction, compared to when the long side of the connector 171 is arranged along the Z-axis direction, which is advantageous for reducing the height of the antenna module 100.
- the connector 171 when viewed from a plane in the normal direction (Z-axis direction) of the flat plate portion 131, the connector 171 is arranged adjacent to the SiP module 105 in the short side direction (Y-axis direction) of the flat plate portion 131.
- the long side of the connector 171 is arranged to face the long side of the SiP module 105.
- the radiating element 125 is disposed on a layer close to the main surface 136 of the flat plate portion 135 in the positive direction of the Y axis.
- the radiating element 125 may be disposed inside the flat plate portion 135 as shown in FIG. 3, or may be exposed on the main surface 136.
- a ground electrode GND2 is disposed across the entire surface of the flat plate portion 135 on a layer between the radiating element 125 and the main surface 137. Note that the ground electrode GND1 of the flat plate portion 131 and the ground electrode GND2 of the flat plate portion 135 may not be connected to each other as shown in FIG. 3 as long as they are each connected to the ground electrode of the mounting substrate 20, but the ground electrodes GND1 and GND2 may be directly connected inside the dielectric substrate 130.
- a high-frequency signal is supplied to the radiating element 125 from the RFIC 110 via the power supply wiring 145.
- the power supply wiring 145 extends from the solder bump 160 through the wiring layer between the ground electrode GND1 in the flat plate portion 131 and the main surface 133, and penetrates the ground electrode GND2 in the flat plate portion 135 to be connected to the radiating element 125.
- the dielectric substrate 150 is a substrate separate from the dielectric substrate 130.
- the dielectric substrate 150 has a flat plate shape with substantially rectangular main surfaces 151, 152.
- the dielectric substrate 150 is also formed from, for example, LTCC.
- the radiating element 126 is disposed on a layer close to the main surface 151 of the dielectric substrate 150.
- the radiating element 126 may be disposed on an inner layer of the dielectric substrate 150, or may be disposed so as to be exposed to the main surface 151.
- the ground electrode GND3 is disposed between the radiating element 126 and the main surface 152.
- the ground electrode GND3 does not necessarily have to be disposed inside the dielectric substrate 150.
- a conductive member such as the housing of an equipment disposed inside the communication device 10 may be used as the ground electrode GND3.
- a connector 174 is disposed on the main surface 152 of the dielectric substrate 150.
- the radiating element 126 is connected to the connector 174 by a power feed wiring 147.
- a flexible power feed cable 180 is connected to the connector 174.
- a connector 173 is connected to the other end of the power feed cable 180. As described above, by connecting the connector 173 to the connector 171 disposed on the flat portion 135 of the dielectric substrate 130, the high frequency signal from the RFIC 110 is transmitted to the radiating element 126 via the power feed cable 180 and the power feed wiring 147.
- the normal direction of the main surface 151 which is the radiation surface of the radio waves, can be set to any direction.
- Figure 3 shows an example in which the dielectric substrate 150 is arranged so that the normal direction of the main surface 151 is the positive direction of the Z axis ((A) in Figure 3), and an example in which the dielectric substrate 150 is arranged so that the normal direction of the main surface 151 is the positive direction of the Y axis ((B) in Figure 3).
- the dimension in the thickness direction i.e., the Z-axis direction
- the dimension in the thickness direction may be limited as the device is made thinner.
- the area of the substrate on which the radiating element that radiates radio waves in the lateral direction of the device is arranged, or more specifically, the area of the ground electrode, is limited.
- the antenna gain generally tends to decrease as the area of the ground electrode becomes smaller. Therefore, pursuing a lower profile will actually result in a decrease in antenna characteristics.
- the antenna gain of the radiating element on the low frequency side which is relatively larger in size, is easily affected.
- the antenna module 100 of the first embodiment with regard to the radiating elements that radiate radio waves in the lateral direction, only the radiating element 125 on the high frequency side is arranged on a fixed dielectric substrate 130, and the radiating element 126 on the low frequency side is arranged on a separate dielectric substrate 150.
- the dielectric substrate 130 is provided with a connector 171 for transmitting high frequency signals to the radiating element 126 on the separate dielectric substrate 150.
- the radiating element 126 By configuring in this way, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in arranging the radiating element 126 on the low frequency side within the communication device 10. This allows the radiating element 126 to be arranged in a position within the device where it is easier to secure space, so restrictions on the area of the ground electrode corresponding to the radiating element 126 can be alleviated compared to when the radiating element is configured as a stacked type radiating element on the dielectric substrate 130. Therefore, in a dual-band type antenna module capable of radiating radio waves in two different directions, it is possible to suppress a decrease in antenna gain on the low frequency side.

- the "principal surfaces 132, 133, 136, 137" in the first embodiment correspond to the “first surface” to the "fourth surface” in this disclosure, respectively.
- FIG. 5 is a side perspective view of antenna module 100A according to embodiment 2.
- Antenna module 100A is generally configured such that dielectric substrate 130 of antenna module 100 according to embodiment 1 is replaced with dielectric substrate 130A.
- Other configurations of antenna module 100A are basically the same as those of antenna module 100, and descriptions of overlapping elements will not be repeated. Note that in FIG. 5, some elements common to FIG. 3 have been omitted for ease of explanation.
- the dielectric substrate 130A of the antenna module 100A is composed of a flexible substrate 191 and substrates 192 and 193.
- the flexible substrate 191 is a flat multi-layer substrate made of flexible resin.
- the flexible substrate 191 can be bent so that the normal direction of the main surface changes.
- the flexible substrate 191 is bent from a portion extending in the Y-axis direction and extends in the Z-axis direction, as shown in FIG. 5.
- a ground electrode GND4 is arranged over the entire surface of the inner layer of the flexible substrate 191.
- the dielectric substrate 130A has a flat portion 131A extending in the Y-axis direction, a flat portion 135A extending in the Z-axis direction, and a connection portion 195 that connects the flat portion 131A and the flat portion 135A.
- the connection portion 195 corresponds to the bending region of the flexible substrate 191.
- the flat plate portion 131A further includes a substrate 193 arranged on the main surface in the negative direction of the Z axis in a region extending in the Y axis direction of the flexible substrate 191.
- the substrate 193 is formed of, for example, LTCC or resin, similar to the dielectric substrate 130 of the antenna module 100 of the first embodiment.
- the radiating elements 121 and 122 are arranged on the substrate 193. Note that the substrate 193 is not a required component in the flat plate portion 131A, and the radiating elements 121 and 122 may be arranged directly on the flexible substrate 191.
- flexible substrate 191 and substrate 193 are formed from a material with a low dielectric constant. If the dielectric constant of substrate 193 is reduced, the stray capacitance of conductive members such as the power supply wiring and connection terminals in substrate 193 will be reduced, and the coupling of signals between adjacent conductive members will be weakened. This can improve the isolation characteristics between SiP module 105 and connector 172.
- the flat plate portion 135A further includes a substrate 192 arranged on the main surface in the positive direction of the Y axis in a region extending in the Z axis direction of the flexible substrate 191.
- the substrate 192 is also formed of, for example, LTCC or resin.
- the substrate 192 has a radiating element 125 arranged thereon.
- the substrate 192 is formed of a material having a higher dielectric constant than the flexible substrate 191 and the substrate 193.
- the size of the radiating element 125 can be reduced, and therefore the area of the flexible substrate 191, i.e., the dimension in the Z axis direction, can be reduced compared to the case where a material with a low dielectric constant is used. This is therefore advantageous for reducing the height of the antenna module 100A.
- the SiP module 105 is disposed on the main surface of the flexible substrate 191 in the positive direction of the Z axis in the flat plate portion 131A. High-frequency signals are supplied from the SiP module 105 to each radiating element.
- a connector 171 for connecting a power supply cable 180 is arranged on the main surface of the flexible substrate 191 in the negative Y-axis direction of the flat plate portion 135A.
- a high-frequency signal is transmitted from the SiP module 105 to the radiating element 126 arranged on the separate dielectric substrate 150 via the power supply cable 180.
- the size of the radiating element 125 can be reduced. This allows the antenna module 100A to have a low profile. Furthermore, by arranging the radiating element 126 on the low frequency side on a separate dielectric substrate 150 and supplying a high frequency signal using the power supply cable 180, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the antenna gain on the low frequency side.
- the flat plate portion 135 from a material with a high dielectric constant, it is possible to reduce the size of the radiating element 125 and reduce the height of the antenna module 100.
- the "flat portion 131A” and “flat portion 135A” in the second embodiment correspond to the “first flat portion” and “second flat portion” in this disclosure, respectively.
- the "flexible substrate 191" and “substrate 192" in the second embodiment correspond to the “first member” and “second member” in this disclosure, respectively.
- the “substrate 192" in the second embodiment corresponds to the "first member” in this disclosure.
- the modified antenna module 100B has a configuration in which the dielectric substrate on which the radiating element is arranged is formed of a flexible substrate.
- Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the modified antenna module 100B.
- Figure 7 is a side view of the antenna module 100B in Figure 6 as seen from the X-axis direction.
- Figure 8 is a side view of the antenna module in Figure 6 as seen from the Y-axis direction.
- the dielectric substrate 130B in the antenna module 100B includes flat plate portions 131B and 135B and a connection portion 195B.
- the flat portion 135B is connected to a connecting portion 195B bent from the flat portion 131B, and is arranged so that its inner surface (the surface in the negative direction of the Y-axis) faces the side surface of the mounting substrate 20.
- the flat portion 135B is configured with a plurality of notches 197 formed in a dielectric substrate having a substantially rectangular shape, and the connecting portion 195B is connected to the notches 197.
- a protruding portion 196 is formed that protrudes from the boundary portion where the connecting portion 195B and the flat portion 135B are connected along the flat portion 135B in a direction toward the flat portion 131B (i.e., in the negative direction of the Z-axis).
- radiating elements 121 are arranged along the Y-axis direction on the surface of flat plate portion 131B.
- radiating element 122 is arranged on the inner layer of flat plate portion 131B corresponding to radiating element 121.
- a high-frequency signal is supplied to radiating element 121 from SiP module 105 via power supply wiring 141.
- a high-frequency signal is supplied to radiating element 122 from SiP module 105 via power supply wiring 142.
- Two protrusions 196 are formed on the flat plate portion 135B of the antenna module 100B.
- Two radiating elements 125 are arranged on each of the protrusions 196.
- Each radiating element 125 on the flat plate portion 135B is arranged so that at least a portion of it overlaps with the protrusion 196.
- a high-frequency signal is supplied to the radiating element 125 from the SiP module 105 via the power supply wiring 145.
- a high-frequency signal is supplied to the radiating element 126 arranged on the external dielectric substrate 150 as described in FIG. 3 via the power supply wiring 146 and connectors 171 and 173.
- the power supply wiring 145, 146 and the ground electrode GND run from the flat plate portion 131B through the connection portion 195B to the flat plate portion 135B.
- Connector 171 is disposed on the principal surface of flat plate portion 135B in the negative direction of the Y axis. When viewed in a plan view from the normal direction of flat plate portion 131B and the X-axis direction perpendicular to the normal direction of flat plate portion 135B, connector 171 is disposed in a position that partially overlaps with the bending region of connection portion 195B. By disposing connector 171 in such a position, it is possible to effectively utilize the dead space between flat plate portion 131B and flat plate portion 135B created by connection portion 195B, which can contribute to miniaturization of the device.
- connector 171 when viewed in a plan view from the normal direction (Y-axis direction) of flat plate portion 135B, connector 171 is positioned at a position where at least a portion of it overlaps with radiating element 125.
- the shortest distance L2 from the center of radiating element 125 to the end of flat plate portion 135B in the polarization direction (Z-axis direction) of radiating element 125 is shorter than the length L1 of one side of the approximately square radiating element 125 (L1>L2), the size of the ground electrode GND is insufficient for radiating element 125, which may cause a decrease in antenna gain.
- the grounding function is strengthened, and the decrease in antenna gain can be suppressed.
- flat plate portions 131B, 135B" in the modified example correspond to the "first flat plate portion” and the “second flat plate portion” in this disclosure, respectively.
- FIG. 9 is a side perspective view of an antenna module 100C according to embodiment 3.
- the radiating element 121 and the power supply wiring 141 on the high frequency side of the flat plate portion 131 in the antenna module 100 shown in FIG. 3 have been removed.
- the rest of the configuration in FIG. 9 is the same as in FIG. 3, so the description of the elements that overlap with FIG. 3 will not be repeated.
- the radiating element 126 on the low frequency side corresponding to the radiating element 125 arranged on the flat plate portion 135 is arranged on an independent dielectric substrate 150, and a high frequency signal is supplied via the connector 171 of the flat plate portion 135. Therefore, the radiating element 126 can be arranged in a position within the device where space is more easily secured, and the restrictions on the area of the ground electrode corresponding to the radiating element 126 can be relaxed compared to when the radiating element is configured as a stacked type radiating element on the flat plate portion 135. Therefore, in an antenna module capable of radiating radio waves in two different directions, it is possible to suppress a decrease in antenna gain on the low frequency side.
- FIG. 9 an example is shown in which only the low-frequency radiating element 122 is arranged on the flat plate portion 131, but instead, the low-frequency radiating element 122 may be removed and only the high-frequency radiating element 121 may be arranged.
