  • Patent number: 8698688
    Abstract: An antenna with an improved holed system ground plane comprises a substrate, a radiation conductor member, a grounding member and a system ground plane. The radiation conductor member is arranged on the surface of the substrate. The grounding member is arranged on one edge of the substrate. The radiation conductor member is connected with the grounding member. The system ground plane is connected with one side of the grounding member. The system ground plane has at least one arbitrary-shaped hole. A radiation-enhancing filler is disposed in the arbitrary-shaped hole. The present invention solves the conventional problems that the system ground plane is drilled or cut to accommodate components and IC chips, keep away from wiring routes and avoid protrusions on the appearance, via disposing radiation-enhancing fillers in the arbitrary-shaped holes. Thereby is kept integrality of the system ground plane and promoted omnidirectionality of signal transmission.

  • Patent number: 8643550
    Abstract: A flexible antenna comprises a filmed layer, a flexible radiation conductor and a support member. The flexible radiation conductor has a crooked form and a feeder terminal. The filmed layer covers the upper surface of the flexible radiation conductor. The support member has a through-hole. The lower surface of the flexible radiation conductor is stuck to the upper surface of the support member. The feeder terminal is inserted through the through-hole to protrude from the lower surface of the support member. The flexible radiation conductor and the crooked feeder terminal thereof replace the conventional radiation conductor circuit layer and metallic contact terminal to overcome the problem that the conventional contact terminal damages the radiation conductor layer and protrudes the filmed layer. Further, the present invention integrates FPC and LDS technologies to enable the flexible radiation conductor to be arbitrarily stuck to complicated planes or complicated curved surfaces.
