Abstract
An antenna module and a terminal applying the antenna module are disclosed. The antenna module includes an antenna array configured with a plurality of antenna units and a radio-frequency phase shifting system. The antenna array and the radio-frequency phase shifting system are integrated on a circuit substrate to form an independent module. Further, the antenna unit of the antenna module may adopt a solution of a microstrip patch antenna structure loading a short-circuit pillar to generate multiple resonances, thereby expanding the bandwidth of the antenna unit. After the antenna array is formed, the antenna modules may be further arranged perpendicular to each other to expand and achieve large-angle scanning and polarization diversity functions. The disclosed antenna module has a simplified structure and may be applied to 5G communication. It has the advantages of easy system integration, low-profile miniaturization, wide radiation bandwidth, and large-angle scanning.
