Patent number: 10461423Abstract: A multi-frequency antenna comprises a substrate disposed on a clearance area of a circuit board, and a first resonance unit and a second resonance unit located on the surface of the substrate or within the substrate. The first resonance unit is connected to a signal feeding terminal of the circuit board and connected to the second resonance unit via a first filtering element.

The first filtering element shows a high impedance towards the signal with the first resonant frequency and a low impedance towards the signal with the second resonant frequency. Thus, an antenna with multiple resonant frequencies can be obtained. The material and manufacturing costs of the multi-frequency antenna can thereby be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Unictron Technologies CorporationInventors: Chih-Shen Chou, Tsung-Shou Yeh, Jer-Yeu Kuo, Hsiang-Cheng Yang

Patent number: 9030358Abstract: A miniature multi-frequency antenna, comprising at least one dielectric substrate, at least one signal electrode and at least one ground electrode. The signal electrode and the ground electrode are disposed on a substrate. The signal electrode contains at least two branches and at least one branch is partially overlapped with the ground electrode.
