Summary of the invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

Identification label is assigned to the Anneta module being made of array antenna sometimes, identifier is such as manufactured and factory checks mark Note and for identification installation site of component and the telltale mark in direction etc..

In array antenna device disclosed in patent document 1, telltale mark is formed in the back side of antenna substrate.Due to Telltale mark is confirmed from the surface side of antenna substrate, therefore situations such as array antenna device is installed on after mother substrate etc. Under, it is difficult to confirm that the identifications such as the telltale mark mark.Therefore, following problems are generated: when to confirm identification label, really for this The working hour recognized increases.

On the other hand, in the case where that will identify that label is formed in the surface side of antenna substrate, although identification label is really Recognize working hour reduction, but antenna performance is impacted sometimes.Thus, in order not to be impacted to antenna performance in antenna The surface side configuration identification label of substrate, there is also the region for being used to form identification label is arranged in be formed with paster antenna The method of the outer region in region, but in this case, the size of Anneta module can enlargement.In addition, by Anneta module In the case where millimeter wave band short applied to wavelength etc., need strongly to inhibit the transmission loss and Anneta module in Anneta module Transmission loss between external circuit.From the viewpoint of inhibiting the transmission loss in the millimeter wave band, in antenna substrate The formation of surface side, which has the outer region in the region of paster antenna that identification label forming region is in addition arranged, leads to enlargement, this It is undesirable.

The present invention was completed to solve the above problem, has its purpose is to provide one kind and is inhibiting antenna performance Deterioration while be easy visuognosis identification label small-sized Anneta module and communication device.

The solution to the problem

To achieve the goals above, Anneta module involved in one embodiment of the present invention includes dielectric base plate；It is multiple Paster antenna, the multiple paster antenna are set to the first main surface side of the dielectric base plate；High frequency circuit components, installation In the dielectric base plate and first interarea opposite facing second main surface side, it is electrically connected with the multiple paster antenna； And identification label, in the case where overlooking first interarea, the identification label is configured at antenna configuration region, the antenna Configuring area be first main surface side of the dielectric base plate, except the dielectric base plate the multiple patch is not configured Region other than the outer region of chip antenna, wherein in the case where overlooking first interarea, identification label with not with The antenna configuration region is configured in the mode of the respectively arranged feeding point overlapping of the multiple paster antenna.

Accordingly, the formation that identification label is configured at dielectric base plate has the surface side of paster antenna, therefore marks with identification The case where being configured at the back side of dielectric base plate is compared, and visuognosis identification label is become easy.Therefore, it can easily chase after Track batch information etc..In addition, configuring paster antenna and high frequency circuit components in such a way that dielectric base plate to be clipped in the middle, identify Label is not configured at the high each feeding point of signal sensitivity nearby and is in addition arranged without the outer region in antenna configuration region For be arranged identification label region, therefore, can not make the antenna performance of Anneta module realize with deteriorate area savingization with Miniaturization.Further, it is possible to shorten the high-frequency transmission line between paster antenna and high frequency circuit components, therefore especially in such as milli Transmission loss can be reduced in the big frequency band of the such transmission loss of metric wave band.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, in the vertical view, the identification label is not be overlapped with the multiple paster antenna.

Accordingly, even if identification label is configured at antenna configuration region, the antenna of Anneta module can also be further suppressed The deterioration of characteristic.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the multiple paster antenna is configured to rectangular, and the multiple paster antenna includes: in institute First paster antenna and the second paster antenna adjacent in the row direction when stating vertical view；And adjacent on the line direction Three paster antennas and the 4th paster antenna, wherein in the vertical view, first paster antenna and the third paster antenna Adjacent in a column direction, the column direction is the direction intersected with the line direction, in the vertical view, second patch day Line and the 4th paster antenna are adjacent in the column direction, and the identification label is configured at first paster antenna and institute It states between the 4th paster antenna and between second paster antenna and the third paster antenna.

Accordingly, even if identification label is configured at antenna configuration region, the antenna of Anneta module can also be further suppressed The deterioration of characteristic, and identify that the freedom degree of the shape of label improves.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the multiple paster antenna is configured to rectangular, and the multiple paster antenna is included in described First paster antenna and the second paster antenna adjacent in the row direction when vertical view, in the vertical view, first patch day The feeding point of line is biased to column direction relative to the central point of first paster antenna, and the column direction is and the row side To the direction of intersection, in the vertical view, the feeding point of second paster antenna is relative to second paster antenna Central point be biased to the column direction, the identification label be configured at first paster antenna and second paster antenna it Between.

Accordingly, the polarization direction of Anneta module is column direction, in above-mentioned vertical view, the first paster antenna and the second patch day Between line region is not due to Chong Die with plane of polarization and antenna sensitivity is low.Therefore, match even if identification label is configured at antenna Region is set, the deterioration of the antenna performance of Anneta module also can be effectively inhibited.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the multiple paster antenna is configured to rectangular, and the multiple paster antenna is included in described First paster antenna and the second paster antenna adjacent in the row direction when vertical view, in the vertical view, first patch day The feeding point of line is biased to the line direction relative to the central point of first paster antenna, described in the vertical view The feeding point of second paster antenna is biased to the line direction, the identification relative to the central point of second paster antenna Label is configured between first paster antenna and second paster antenna.

Accordingly, even if identification label is configured at antenna configuration region, the antenna of Anneta module can also be further suppressed The deterioration of characteristic.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the region between first paster antenna and second paster antenna includes than described Second paster antenna is closer to the first area of first paster antenna and than first paster antenna closer to described The second area of second paster antenna, identification label be configured at it is in the first area and the second area, away from institute State the feeding point of the first paster antenna region short at a distance from the center of gravity of the feeding point of second paster antenna.

Accordingly, identification label is configured at antenna spirit in the region being clipped in the middle by the first paster antenna and the second paster antenna The lower region of sensitivity.Therefore, even if identification label is configured at antenna configuration region, Anneta module also can effectively be inhibited The deterioration of antenna performance.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the identification label is formed by metal material.

The identification label being made of metal material is easy to due to electric conductivity height when closely configuring with paster antenna The field distribution formed by paster antenna is impacted.But be made of metal material identification label can by with patch The identical process of the formation process of chip antenna is formed, and identification label is not Chong Die with paster antenna, therefore can simplify antenna Inhibit the deterioration of antenna performance while the manufacturing process of module.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the multiple paster antenna includes: first patch adjacent in the row direction in the vertical view Chip antenna and the second paster antenna；And the adjacent third paster antenna and the 4th paster antenna on the line direction, wherein In the vertical view, first paster antenna and the third paster antenna are adjacent in a column direction, the column direction be with The direction that the line direction intersects, in the vertical view, second paster antenna and the 4th paster antenna are in the column Adjacent on direction, identification label is configured in the vertical view comprising by the feed of first paster antenna Point, the feeding point of second paster antenna, the third paster antenna the feeding point and the 4th patch The center of gravity of the flat shape of the feeding point connection of antenna.

Accordingly, since identification label is configured to the above-mentioned center of gravity low comprising antenna sensitivity, even if the identification mark Remember larger so that Chong Die with paster antenna, the antenna performance of Anneta module can not also be made to realize area savingization and small with deteriorating Type.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the identification label is formed by dielectric substance.

The identification being made of dielectric substance is marked since electric conductivity is low, is closely configured even if with paster antenna It is difficult to impact the field distribution formed by paster antenna.Therefore, larger so that Chong Die with paster antenna in identification label In the case where, by using dielectric substance to identification label, the deterioration of antenna performance can be further suppressed.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be to be also equipped with shielding line, the shielding line is set to first main surface side, also, described When vertical view, the shielding line is set between the multiple paster antenna and sets along the orientation of the multiple paster antenna Set, in the vertical view, identification label not with the shielding line overlap.

Accordingly, since identification label is not contacted with shielding line, even being configured with shielding line between paster antenna Structure the antenna performance of Anneta module can not be made to deteriorate ground real also while improving the isolation between paster antenna Existing area savingization and miniaturization.

Alternatively, it is also possible to be, the multiple paster antenna includes first patch adjacent in the row direction in the vertical view Chip antenna and the second paster antenna, center of the feeding point of first paster antenna relative to first paster antenna Point is biased to the line direction, and the feeding point of second paster antenna is inclined relative to the central point of second paster antenna To the line direction, the identification label is configured between first paster antenna and second paster antenna, and is configured Between region and second paster antenna and the shielding line between first paster antenna and the shielding line Region in, the center of gravity of the feeding point of the feeding point away from first paster antenna and second paster antenna The short region of distance.

Accordingly, identification label is configured at antenna spirit in the region being clipped in the middle by the first paster antenna and the second paster antenna The lower region of sensitivity.Therefore, the deterioration of the antenna performance of Anneta module can effectively be inhibited.

In addition, communication device involved in one embodiment of the present invention has: any of the above-described Anneta module；With And BBIC (baseband I C), wherein the high frequency circuit components are the signal processing for carrying out transmission system and the signal for receiving system The RFIC of at least one party in processing carries out the signal inputted from the BBIC in the signal processing of the transmission system The multiple paster antenna is output to after up-conversion, it, will be from the multiple patch day in the signal processing of the reception system The high-frequency signal of line input is output to the BBIC after carrying out down coversion.
