  • Patent number: 6992634
    Abstract: A patch antenna for a first frequency is disposed on a first face of a dielectric substrate, and has a first size. A coil antenna for a second frequency is disposed on the first face of the dielectric substrate so as to surround the patch antenna, and has a second size which is larger than the first size. A ground member is disposed on a second face of the dielectric substrate, and has a third size which is larger than the first size and smaller than the second size.

  • Patent number: 6930647
    Abstract: At least one of the following requirements is satisfied. A position of a curvature center of an arcuate portion in at least one of waveguide plates is selected between a connecting member and a feeder, in accordance with a desired horizontal beam radiation characteristic. A curvature radius of the arcuate portion in at least one of the waveguide plates is selected in accordance with a desired vertical beam radiation characteristic. A slanted angle of a peripheral face of the arcuate portion, which connects a top face and a bottom face of each waveguide plate, in at least one of the waveguide plates is selected in accordance with a desired vertical beam radiation characteristic.

  • Patent number: 6861992
    Abstract: In an antenna for communicating an electromagnetic wave, a first converger converges the electromagnetic wave. A second converger faces the first converger and includes a conductor plate having a through hole, into which a magnetic flux of the converged electromagnetic wave is converged. The through hole is formed at a center portion of the conductor plate so as to have a size which is sufficiently smaller than a wavelength of the electromagnetic wave. The conductor plate is formed with a cutout extending from a part of the through hole to an outer periphery of the conductor plate. A converter faces the through hole of the conductor plate to convert the converged magnetic flux into voltage.
