  • Patent number: 11050160
    Abstract: An antenna device as described herein includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The second metal layer is spaced apart from the first metal layer. The first metal layer includes an opening through which to transmit RF (Radio Frequency) energy to the second metal layer. The second metal layer is operable to reflect the RF energy received through the opening back to a surface of the first metal layer. The first metal layer is operable to reflect the RF energy (received from the reflection off the second metal layer) in a direction past the second metal layer through a communication medium. The surface area of the first metal layer is sufficiently larger than a surface area of the second metal layer to reflect the RF energy past the second metal layer into the communication medium. This ensures that the antenna device operates in a reflective mode as opposed to a resonant mode, resulting in high gain.
