Abstract: An antenna comprises a ground pattern, and a planar element that is fed and equipped with a cut-out portion provided from the farthest edge portion formed from the feed position toward the ground pattern side, and the ground pattern and the planar element are juxtaposed with each other. The cut-out portion enables to further miniaturize the antenna and secure current paths to obtain radiation in a low-frequency range. Since the ground pattern and the planar element are juxtaposed with each other, the mount volume of the antenna can be reduced, and the antenna characteristic, particularly the impedance characteristic, can be easily controlled, and the bandwidth can be widened.

Abstract: An antenna of this invention has a ground pattern and a planar element having a cut-out portion from an edge portion farthest from a feed position toward the ground pattern side, and the ground pattern and the planar element are juxtaposed with each other. By providing the cut-out portion, the miniaturization can be realized and current paths to obtain radiation in the low frequency range can be secured. In addition, because the planar element and the ground element are juxtaposed with each other, the volume necessary for the implementation is reduced, and it becomes easy to control the antenna characteristic, particularly, the impedance characteristic, thereby the broad bandwidth can be achieved.

Abstract: An antenna of this invention comprises an antenna element to which power is fed at a feed point; and a ground pattern that is juxtaposed with the antenna element and in which a tapered shape is formed with respect to the feed point of the antenna element. By providing the tapered shape for the ground pattern, it is possible to appropriately adjust the coupling degree with the antenna element, thereby it is possible to widen the bandwidth. Moreover, since the ground pattern and the antenna element are juxtaposed with each other, miniaturization can be achieved. When the antenna element is integrally formed in a dielectric substrate, further miniaturization can be achieved. Furthermore, when a cut-out portion is formed in the antenna element, the characteristic of the antenna in the low frequency range is improved.

Abstract: An antenna according to this invention comprises a ground pattern; and a planar element that has a feed point and whose edge portion opposite to the ground pattern has a trimmed portion that makes a distance with the ground pattern vary and is composed of at least either one of a curved line and line segments which are connected while their inclinations are changed stepwise, and the ground pattern is juxtaposed with the planar element without fully surrounding the edge portion of the planar element. Since it is possible to appropriately adjust the coupling degree between the ground pattern and the planar element by juxtaposing the ground pattern with the planar element and providing the aforementioned trimmed portion, the wide bandwidth is achieved. In addition, by disposing the ground pattern and the planar element in the aforementioned positional relationship, the entire antenna can also be miniaturized.

Abstract: This invention relates to a dual band antenna having a novel shape, which enables miniaturization and bandwidth widening. The antenna includes a dielectric substrate for an antenna including a layer of a planar element having a side edge portion constituted by either one of a curved line and line segments which are connected to each other while their inclinations are changed stepwise, and a substrate on which the dielectric substrate is placed and a ground pattern having a tapered shape with respect to the dielectric substrate is formed. The dielectric substrate and the ground pattern are juxtaposed, and a distance between the ground pattern and the side edge portion is continuously increased to become saturated as a point on the side edge portion moves away from a straight line passing through a feed position of the planar element. A resonant element is connected to the planar element at an end point of the planar element on the straight line passing through the feed position.

Abstract: On an antenna forming face (9) in a rectangular shape which a dielectric base (7A) has, a linear element (11A) is provided adjacently only peripheries (9a, 9b, 9c, and 9d) of the antenna forming face (9). From the linear element (11A), a linear conductor (25) for matching impedance branches. Since the linear element is adjacent to only the peripheries (9a, 9b, 9c, and 9d) of the antenna forming face (9), portions of the linear element (11A) do not become adjacent to each other. Accordingly, mutual interference which easily occurs when the portions of the linear element (11A) are adjacent to each other does not occur, so that decrease of radiation efficiency of the dielectric antenna (1A) and hindrance to widening a band thereof can be eliminated as much as possible.

The open stub 15 is provided to enable resonance at each of frequencies to be used while the lengths of the antenna elements 13 and 14 are shorter than ordinary lengths determined according to the wavelengths of the frequency to be used.

Abstract: In a diversity antenna apparatus, chip antennas are used as antenna elements, and the chip antennas are disposed in association with a ground pattern with certain gaps from the ground pattern. The chip antennas are disposed so as to surround the ground pattern formed on a substrate, and the ground pattern is shared among the chip antennas. Furthermore, hybrid patterns are included in the substrate, and the hybrid patterns also share the ground pattern with the chip antennas to achieve compact design. Alternatively, a transmitting chip antenna and a ground pattern associated with the transmitting chip antenna together form a vertically polarized antenna, and the transmitting chip antenna and the ground pattern associated with the transmitting chip antenna are separated from receiving chip antennas and a ground pattern associated with the receiving chip antennas.
