  • Patent number: 7116960
    Abstract: An image-rejecting antenna apparatus includes an antenna unit for receiving or transmitting a wireless signal and an image-reject unit for removing an image component signal having a predetermined frequency from among signals received from the antenna unit. In an image-rejecting antenna apparatus that receives a predetermined signal and provides a processed signal to a RF circuit unit for performing a predetermined function may also include an impedance matching unit for matching an impedance of the antenna unit with an impedance of the RF circuit unit and for providing the signal from which the image component signal has been removed to the RF circuit unit. A noise component of an image frequency that is transmitted to a subsequent circuit can be minimized or removed by including an image-reject unit when designing an antenna and a matching circuit, thereby improving the image-rejecting capabilities of an entire receiver.

  • Publication number: 20060158383
    Abstract: A Ultra WideBand (UWB) substrate type dipole antenna is provided which has a stable radiation pattern. The UWB substrate type dipole antenna includes a dielectric substrate, a first radiator formed on a side of the dielectric substrate, a signal line transmitting an energy from a coaxial cable to the first radiator, and a plurality of second radiators formed at a predetermined distance from the first radiator and the signal line, and respectively having therein a plurality of slits of a predetermined configuration. Because there is no leakage of electric current to an outer part of an external conductor of the coaxial cable, even when the connection of the connector and the coaxial cable to the antenna, distortion of the radiation pattern of the antenna is prevented. As a result, the same radiation pattern and the direction of maximum radiation may be obtained before and after connection with the connector and the coaxial cable.
