Abstract: A multiband dipole antenna solution suitable for use in various wireless device applications, and methods of tuning and utilizing the same. In one embodiment, the antenna is adapted for use in long term evolution (LTE or LTE-A) radio devices. In one implementation, the antenna comprises (i) two planar directly fed radiating elements operating in a lower frequency band and disposed on two opposing sides of a dielectric structure, and (ii) two electromagnetically coupled radiating elements operating in an upper frequency band also disposed on the opposing sides of the dielectric structure. An additional pair of electromagnetically coupled radiator elements is utilized to achieve wider antenna operating bandwidth.
Abstract: A multiband antenna includes one or more first antennas embedded within a second antenna. The one or more first antennas can include a folded dipole, and the second antenna can include a monopole. The folded dipole and the monopole may operate at different resonant frequencies. Because the folded dipole is embedded in the monopole, rather than being a separate antenna, near-field coupling between the antennas may be reduced, resulting in enhanced radiation patterns by one or both antennas. More complex antenna structures can also be constructed having multiple antennas embedded within one or more antennas.
Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus and a planar antenna thereof are provided. The wireless communication apparatus comprises a connecting port, a printed circuit board, and a planar antenna. The printed circuit board is connected to the connecting port, and the planar antenna is formed on the printed circuit board. The planar antenna comprises a radiation portion, a shorting portion, and a feeding portion. The feeding portion is connected to the radiation portion and the shorting portion, and the radiation portion and the shorting portion are in a bent shape so that the radiation portion, the shorting portion and the feeding portion are distributed in a rectangular region.
Abstract: A microstrip-fed antenna is disclosed having a first dielectric substrate and a second dielectric substrate. The second dielectric substrate is disposed on the first dielectric substrate and the first dielectric substrate has a relative permittivity greater than or equal to the second dielectric substrate. The antenna further includes a microstrip line formed in the second dielectric substrate and a metal layer formed in the second dielectric substrate. The metal layer is positioned between the microstrip line and the first dielectric substrate and includes a slot.
Abstract: A loop antenna includes a parasitic element arranged at a position almost concentric to a loop element and having an opening portion smaller than the half perimeter of the loop element at a position opposite to the feeding point of the loop element.
