Abstract
A millimeter wave mobile phone antenna structure including: a plurality of antenna elements, each antenna element having a port; a plurality of signal acquisition units, each having a mixer and an analog-to-digital converter to produce a digital sampled signal of a sub-carrier signal output by each port; and a baseband signal processor, used for multiplying the digital sampled signal of each sub-carrier signal with a real time channel frequency response related weighting function and sum up the products to obtain a total output value of the antenna structure. The difference between the antenna structure of the present invention and the current millimeter-wave antenna structure of mobile phones is that: the present invention uses antenna elements instead of antenna arrays; and the antenna structure of the present invention provides multi-port output signals, rather than a single output digital, to facilitate the adaptability of received signals combining on the baseband end.
