  • Patent number: 7705785
    Abstract: An antenna has a plurality of metallic patches and a feed network both being spaced apart from a ground plate at different levels to obtain better radiation pattern and gain effects. Each of the metallic patches has a body with an outer edge from which an inclined wing extends upwardly and outwardly. Furthermore, the metallic patches and the feed network are integrally formed by bending a single piece of metal plate, thus the antenna improves the design flexibility and also simplifies the production process.

The primary conductor, the secondary conductor and the coupling conductors are all connected to the same ground plane, whereby the layout space is reduced, and the multi-antenna module is easy-to-assemble for various electronic devices.

    Abstract: An assembly antenna array comprises a ground plate, a pair of first radiation conductors, a first transmission member, first support rods, a pair of second conductors, a second transmission member, and second support rods. The ground plate has an upper surface and a lower surface. The layout size of the assembly antenna array is reduced via arranging the arrayed first radiation conductors and the arrayed second radiation conductors vertically to each other. The mutual interference between the transmission members is inhibited via respectively arranging the transmission members and the feeding ends of the two pairs of radiation conductors on different surfaces. A feeder cable is connected to an appropriate position of each transmission member to enable each pair of radiation conductors to have a phase difference of 180 degrees, whereby cross-polarization is reduced, and the gain are increased.
