Abstract

A signal transmission apparatus is provided in the present disclosure, including: a substrate, and a BLUETOOTH antenna and WI-FI antennas which are provided on a same side edge of the substrate. At least two branches of the WI-FI antennas are provided, and the BLUETOOTH antenna and the WI-FI antennas are provided at intervals. According to the present disclosure, the BLUETOOTH antenna and the WI-FI antennas are provided on the same side edge of the substrate, and the BLUETOOTH antenna and the WI-FI antennas are provided at intervals, so that all the antennas of the signal transmission apparatus are provided at an edge of a terminal board, thereby facilitating signal transmission and solving a problem in the prior art that the BLUETOOTH antenna and the WI-FI antennas are respectively provided on two side edges of the substrate, affecting data transmission.

Claims (29)

1. A signal transmission apparatus, comprising:

a substrate; and

a wireless personal area network (WPAN) antenna and wireless local area network (WLAN) antennas which are provided on a same side edge of the substrate;

at least two branches of the WLAN antennas are provided, and the WPAN antenna and the WLAN antennas are provided at intervals;

wherein the WPAN antenna is a magnetic current source WPAN antenna, and the WLAN antennas are current source WLAN antennas;

wherein the WLAN antennas are configured to two branches, which are a first WLAN antenna and a second WLAN antenna, and the WPAN antenna is arranged between the first WLAN antenna and the second WLAN antenna;

wherein the substrate is provided with a circuit ground, a first WLAN antenna RF ground, and a second WLAN antenna RF ground, the WPAN antenna is a microstrip magnetic current source WPAN antenna formed as a radiation slit arranged on the circuit ground, the first WLAN antenna is arranged on the first WLAN antenna RF ground, and the second WLAN antenna is arranged on the second WLAN antenna RF ground.

2. The signal transmission apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
