Abstract: The disclosure concerns an antenna assembly having a substrate with an antenna radiating element and a ground conductor disposed on the substrate, the ground conductor further characterized by a plurality of ground resonators, wherein a length associated with each of the ground resonators increases as the ground resonators are distanced from the antenna radiating element. Additionally, a coaxial cable is routed around the antenna assembly for configuring the coaxial cable as an additional ground resonator associated with the antenna assembly. The resulting antenna provides wide band performance between 700 MHz and 2700 MHz with improved efficiency compared with conventional antennas.

Abstract: An eight-frequency band antenna includes a carrier, a high-frequency segment, a low-frequency segment, a printed circuit board (PCB) and an inductor. The high-frequency segment is arranged on left side of the carrier and the low-frequency segment is arranged on right side of the carrier. The radiator on the bottom face of the carrier electrically connects with the micro strip of the PCB and the ground line of the ground metal when the carrier is fixed to the PCB. Moreover, the low-frequency segment is corresponding to a metal face with smaller area such that the low-frequency segment is at a free space to enhance the frequency response of the low-frequency segment and the bandwidth of the high-frequency segment. The area and the volume of blind hole on the carrier can adjust the effective dielectric constant to adjust the resonant frequency and bandwidth of the antenna.

Abstract: A 5 dBi embedded dual-band WiFi circular polarized 50 mm patch antenna with an SMA(f) connector is described. The antenna features a high efficiency dual-band WiFi 2.4 GHz/5˜6 GHz right hand circular polarization (RHCP). The antennas improve upon the previously developed antennas by simplifying the construction and simplifying the feed, while retaining circular polarization across two widely-separated bands. In order to integrate prior antennas into a system with simple coaxial connections, additional components and devices were required. The antennas simplifies the integration whilst retaining the circular polarization and dual frequency operation. The ratio between the two frequency bands can be adjusted by changing the middle patch and the V-shaped slot size of the top layer. The V-shaped slots improve the axial ratio bandwidth and assist with setting the frequency ration between the two bands.
