Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes a plurality of receiver paths that are ranked based on a preset manner to obtain a ranking order of each of the plurality of receiver paths; a plurality of antennas; and a switch disposed between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths, wherein the switch is configured to change a connection relationship between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths based on a signal strength of the plurality of antennas and the ranking order of the plurality of the receiver paths.
Claims18
An antenna structure comprising:
- a plurality of receiver paths that are ranked based on a preset manner to obtain a ranking order of each of the plurality of receiver paths;
- a plurality of antennas;
- and
- a switch disposed between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths, wherein the switch is configured to change a connection relationship between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths based on a signal strength of the plurality of antennas and the ranking order of the plurality of the receiver paths;
- wherein the plurality of antennas are coupled with the plurality of receiver paths by the switch based on a preset connection relationship in a default state, and
- wherein the preset connection relationship is obtained according to a connection relationship between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths in historical data.
A method of receiving a signal by an electronic device including an antenna structure that includes a plurality of receiver paths, a plurality of antennas, and a switch disposed between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths, the method comprising:
- determining a signal strength of at least one of the plurality of antennas with respect to a signal currently associated with the at least one of the plurality of antennas;
- changing a connection relationship between the at least one of the plurality of antennas and the plurality of the receiver paths through the switch, wherein after being changed, the signal strength of the at least one of the plurality of antennas is positively correlated with ranking orders of the coupled receiver paths, wherein the plurality of receiver paths are ranked based on a preset manner to obtain a ranking order of each of the plurality of receiver paths;
- and
- receiving the signal based on a changed connection relationship between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of the receiver paths.
An electronic device comprising:
- an antenna structure comprising:
- a plurality of receiver paths that are ranked based on a preset manner to obtain a ranking order of each of the plurality of receiver paths;
- a plurality of antennas;
- and
- a switch disposed between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths, wherein the switch is configured to change a connection relationship between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths based on a signal strength of the plurality of antennas and the ranking order of the plurality of the receiver paths;
- wherein the plurality of antennas are coupled with the plurality of receiver paths by the switch based on a preset connection relationship in a default state, and
- wherein the preset connection relationship is obtained according to a connection relationship between the plurality of antennas and the plurality of receiver paths in historical data.
