  • Patent number: 7446713
    Abstract: An antenna of a mobile communication terminal has a plate-shaped dielectric; a conductor line formed to the dielectric and having a leading end connected to a transceiving section of the mobile communication terminal and a terminal end extendingly formed into a shape curved from the leading end and located at a middle part of the plate-shaped dielectric; and an assistance radiator electrically connected to the terminal end of the conductor line and mounted to surround the plate-shaped dielectric. According to the antenna, since there is provided the assistance radiator, it is possible to shorten the length of the antenna while maintaining the overall length of the conductor line to be same and to improve the average radiation gain of the antenna.

  • Publication number: 20070146226
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an embedded chip antenna. The embedded chip antenna having a complementary radiator structure includes two radiators that have identical radiation characteristics and are respectively arranged on both sides of a feed point. According to the present invention, the radiator of a chip antenna has a single physical radiator structure, but is electrically formed of a plurality of partial radiators symmetrical with respect to a feed point, and radiation operations in high and low frequency bands are separately performed. Therefore, complementary operational characteristics that counteract external effects are implemented, so that, when part of a human body, such as the hand, affects one partial radiator on one side of the chip antenna, the other partial radiator on the other side thereof independently operates, thereby minimizing performance degradation originating from the outside of the antenna.

  • Publication number: 20070091000
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an impedance transformation-type wide band internal antenna. The wide band antenna includes a radiation part, a short circuit part, a feeding part, and a feeding pin. The radiation part is formed to have a predetermined length and width according to an operating frequency, the radiation part including a plurality of stubs formed in arbitrary shapes according to location of a plurality of slots. The short circuit part causes part of a side surface of the radiation part to be connected to an external ground. The feeding part is extended from the stubs, formed on the side surface of the radiation part to be adjacent to the short circuit part, and is bent multiple times, the feeding part being formed on a bottom surface of the radiation part to have a predetermined length and width. The feeding pin is formed on an end of the feeding part and is fed with current.
