  • Patent number: 10224644
    Abstract: A series-fed E-shaped patch antenna array has co-polarized parasitic patches to improve aperture efficiency. Each of microstrip parasitic patches is inserted between a plurality of microstrip E-shaped patch antennas. The parasitic patches are co-polarized with the E-shaped patch antennas so that the current flows in the parasitic patches and the E-shaped patch antennas have the same polarity. Additional radiation from the co-polarized microstrip parasitic patches significantly improves gain flatness, gain and aperture efficiency due to offset resonance frequency.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9716316
    Abstract: Substrate embedded horn antenna includes a dielectric, metal patterns, metal vias and a ground plate. The metal patterns are embedded by being stacked in dielectric. Metal patterns are hollow rectangle types or hollow circle types. Metal vias connect layers of metal patterns by being embedded between layers of metal patterns. Ground plate is formed in an upper side of dielectric. Metal patterns form waveguide structure by being stacked in radial shape. Waveguide structure propagates electromagnetic wave by focusing electromagnetic wave. Embedded horn antenna capable of selectively using vertical radiation and horizontal radiation may be implemented using the via and metal pattern in dielectric substrate. Embedded horn antenna may be implemented in small size with high gain. Vertical embedded horn antenna and horizontal embedded horn antenna may be implemented in a substrate. Method of manufacturing embedded horn antenna capable of selectively using vertical radiation and horizontal radiation may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20170141472
    Abstract: Disclosed is a millimeter wave antenna for diagonal radiation. A first metal layer and a second metal layer having a form of microstrip wire are coated on the bottom surface and at least a partial region of the top surface of a dielectric substrate, respectively. When viewed in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the dielectric substrate, the second metal layer is covered by the first metal layer. The microstrip wire of the second metal layer may have a length of more than half of a wavelength of a RF signal. The long-wire antenna has a radiation pattern in upward diagonal direction when a signal to transmit is fed under a condition that the first metal layer is grounded. The form of the second metal layer may be a straight line, Y-shape, ?-shape, or etc. An impedance matching metal layer may be added to the second metal layer.
