The embodiment of the invention provides a transmission line and terminal equipment, wherein when an antenna is arranged in the terminal equipment, the antenna and a signal processing unit of the terminal equipment need to be electrically connected through the transmission line. In contrast, with the transmission line, an effective transmission layout can be performed in a limited space of a terminal device. Terminal devices include, but are not limited to, smart phones, tablets, and portable wearable devices.

Referring to fig. 1-2, the transmission line includes at least one ground conductor 10 and a signal layer 20; a signal transmission line 21 is arranged in the signal layer 20, and the width of the grounding conductor 10 is larger than that of the signal transmission line 21; the transmission line comprises at least two connection areas 11 and at least one bending area 12 clamped between the two connection areas 11 in the signal transmission direction; in the bending region 12, the grounding conductor 10 includes a grounding strip 122 corresponding to the signal transmission line 21 and grounding grids 121 disposed on two sides of the grounding strip in a direction perpendicular to the signal transmission direction, and both the grounding strip 122 and the grounding grids 121 are connected to the grounding conductors 10 of the connection regions 11 at two ends thereof.

In the present embodiment, the transmission line includes two layers of ground conductors 10 and a signal layer 20 sandwiched between the two layers of ground conductors 10, the ground conductors 10 are connected to ground, and the signal layer 20 is used for transmitting radio frequency signals. Specifically, the transmission line includes two connection areas 11 and at least one bending area 12, and the bending area 12 is connected to the two connection areas 11 to connect and combine the connection areas 11 into a whole. In some embodiments, the transmission line may include a plurality of connection regions 11, and any two connection regions 11 are electrically connected through a bending region 12 to form a complete transmission line. Specifically, the signal layer 20 further includes a substrate 22, the signal transmission line 21 is embedded in the substrate 22, and the ground conductor 10 is attached to a surface of the substrate 22. Specifically, the signal propagates along the transmission line in the a3 direction.

Specifically, the signal layer 20 is electrically connected to an antenna of the terminal device and a signal processing unit of the antenna, and the ground conductor 10 serves as a reference ground.

Preferably, in the bending region 12, an orthographic projection of the signal transmission line 21 on the ground conductor 10 is located in the ground strip 122.

Specifically, in the bending region 12, the orthographic projection of the ground patch 122 on the signal layer 20 covers the signal transmission line 21. It will be appreciated that two layers of ground conductors 10 sandwich the signal layer 20, with the signal layer 20 of the inflection regions 12 corresponding to the ground patches 122 of the ground conductors 10. The grounding strip 122 clamps and covers the signal transmission line 21 in the bending region 12, so that the structural continuity of the grounding conductor 10 can be enhanced and the impedance influence on the signal layer 20 can be reduced on the premise of not affecting the flexible characteristic of the grounding grid 121.

Preferably, the grounding network 122 includes a plurality of wires, and the plurality of wires are arranged in a crossing manner to form a grid structure.

Specifically, bending zone 12 is bending zone 12 of transmission line in terminal equipment, and for reducing the fracture that buckles and cause the transmission line, grounding grid 121 that bending zone 12 set up is crossed by a plurality of wires and is set up, forms a plurality of grid structures, reduces the transmission line and buckles the power of dragging to bending zone 12, reduces cracked risk.
