Abstract

An antenna module includes a wiring part including a first antenna wiring and a second antenna wiring disposed on a substrate; and a magnetic part including a first magnetic part disposed on one surface of the wiring part and a second magnetic part disposed on the other surface of the wiring part, wherein the first magnetic part is disposed on one surface of the wiring part so as to face a portion of the first antenna wiring and a portion or the entirety of the second antenna wiring, and the second magnetic part is disposed on the other surface of the wiring part so as to face the other portion of the first antenna wiring.

Claims (39)

1. An antenna module comprising:

a wiring part comprising a first antenna wiring and a second antenna wiring each disposed on a substrate; and

a magnetic part comprising a first magnetic part disposed on one surface of the wiring part and a second magnetic part disposed on another surface of the wiring part,

wherein the first magnetic part is disposed on one surface of the wiring part to face a portion of the first antenna wiring, and a portion or the entirety, of the second antenna wiring, and

wherein the second magnetic part is disposed on the another surface of the wiring part to face the other portion of the first antenna wiring.

2. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic part is disposed not to overlap with the first magnetic part.

3. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part comprise different materials or have different thicknesses.

4. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the wiring part further comprises an extended wiring, disposed to face the first magnetic part and connected to the first antenna wiring.

5. The antenna module of claim 4 , wherein the first antenna wiring and the extended wiring are disposed in spiral directions, and the spiral direction of the extended wiring is opposite to the spiral direction of the first antenna wiring.

6. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the wiring part further comprises a power receiving wiring disposed to face the first magnetic part.

7. The antenna module of claim 6 , wherein the first antenna wiring is connected to the power receiving wiring, and

the first antenna wiring and the power receiving wiring are disposed in spiral directions, and the spiral direction of the power receiving wiring is opposite to the spiral direction of the first antenna wiring.

8. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the second antenna wiring is disposed within the first antenna wiring.

9. The antenna module of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the second antenna wiring disposed within the first antenna wiring is disposed to be parallel to the first antenna wiring.

10. The antenna module of claim 8 , wherein the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part at least partially overlap with each other at a boundary at which the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are in contact with each other.

11. The antenna module of claim 8 , wherein the wiring part further comprises a power receiving wiring disposed within the second antenna wiring and having one end connected to one end of the first antenna wiring.

12. The antenna module of claim 8 , wherein the second antenna wiring comprises a divided wiring disposed at the innermost portion of the second antenna wiring and disposed to cross the central region of the second antennal wiring.

13. The antenna module of claim 12 , wherein the divided wiring comprises a modified pattern disposed to protrude to one side toward the center of the divided wiring.

14. The antenna module of claim 12 , further comprising a power receiving wiring disposed within the second antenna wiring,

wherein the divided wiring is disposed to cross the power receiving wiring.

15. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the first antenna wiring is disposed within the second antenna wiring.

16. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the wiring part comprises:

a body part, wherein the second antenna wiring is disposed on the body part; and

an extended portion protruding from the body part, wherein a portion of the first antenna wiring is disposed on the extended portion, and

wherein the extended portion has a width narrower than that of the body part.

17. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic part is coupled to the wiring part, wherein a portion of the second magnetic part protrudes externally from the wiring part.

18. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the first antenna wiring comprises a solenoid structure wound around the second magnetic part.

19. The antenna module of claim 18 , wherein the substrate comprises a first substrate and a second substrate, and

the first antenna wiring comprises a first pattern disposed on the first substrate, a second pattern disposed on the second substrate, and interlayer connection conductors disposed to penetrate through the first substrate and the second substrate and connecting the first pattern and the second pattern with each other.

20. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein a boundary at which the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are in contact with each other is disposed to cross a central region of the first antenna wiring.

21. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the first antenna wiring comprises a first pattern disposed on a first surface of the substrate and a second pattern disposed on a second surface of the substrate,

wherein the first magnetic part is disposed on the second surface of the substrate to face the first pattern, and

wherein the second magnetic part is disposed on the first surface of the substrate to face the second pattern.

22. The antenna module of claim 21 , wherein the second magnetic part is in surface contact with the substrate and is coupled to the wiring part.

23. An electronic device, comprising:

an antenna module comprising a wiring part comprising a first antenna wiring and a second antenna wiring disposed on a substrate, and a magnetic part comprising a first magnetic part disposed on one surface of the wiring part and a second magnetic part disposed on another surface of the wiring part; and

a case comprising the antenna module,

wherein the first magnetic part is coupled to one surface of the wiring part to face a portion of the first antenna wiring and the second magnetic part is coupled to the wiring part to face the other portion of the first antenna wiring, and

wherein the second magnetic part is disposed between the wiring part and the case.
