Publication number: 20200395666Abstract: An antenna includes at least two radiating arm structures made of or limited by a conductor, superconductor or semiconductor material. The two arms are coupled through a region on first and second superconducting arms such that the combined structure forms a small antenna with broadband behavior, multiband behavior or a combination thereof. The coupling between the two radiating arms is obtained via the shape and spatial arrangement thereof, in which at least one portion on each arm is placed in close proximity to each other (e.g., at a distance smaller than 1/10 of the longest free-space operating wavelength) to allow electromagnetic fields in one arm to be transferred to the other through close proximity regions. The proximity regions are spaced from the feeding port of the antenna (e.g., greater than 1/40 of the free-space longest operating wavelength) and specifically exclude the feeding port of the antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2020Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventors: Carles PUENTE BALIARDA, Jaume ANGUERA PROS, Jordi SOLER CASTANY, Antonio CONDES MARTINEZ

Patent number: 8994604Abstract: The present invention consists of an antenna comprising at least two radiating structures, said radiating structures taking the form of two arms, said arms being made of or limited by a conductor, superconductor or semiconductor material, said two arms being coupled to each other through a region on first and second superconducting arms such that the combined structure of the coupled two-arms forms a small antenna with a broadband behavior, a multiband behavior or a combination of both effects. According to the present invention, the coupling between the two radiating arms is obtained by means of the shape and spatial arrangement of said two arms, in which at least one portion on each arm is placed in close proximity to each other (for instance, at a distance smaller than a tenth of the longest free-space operating wavelength) to allow electromagnetic fields in one arm being transferred to the other through said specific close proximity regions.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2007Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Fractus, S.A.Inventors: Carles Puente Baliarda, Jaume Anguera Pros, Jordi Soler Castany, Antonio Condes Martinez
