Publication number: 20220158339Abstract: An antenna system comprises an antenna structure configured to operate in at least two cellular communication frequency bands. The antenna structure comprising a ground plane and an antenna element. The ground plane comprises a two-dimensional surface of conductive material arranged within a border that has the shape of an irregular, non-periodic contour-curve, wherein a value Q is given by a ratio of a length of the border contour of the ground plane and a diameter of the smallest circle encompassing the ground plane entirely, wherein the value Q is at least 3. The antenna element is arranged substantially perpendicular to the ground plane, and the ground plane has an opening where the antenna element is arranged. The diameter of the smallest circle encompassing the ground plane entirely is less than one-fifth of a longest free operating wavelength of the antenna element.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Jordi SOLER CASTANY, Carles PUENTE BALIARDA

Publication number: 20200395666Abstract: An antenna includes at least two radiating arm structures made of or limited by a conductor, superconductor or semiconductor material. The two arms are coupled through a region on first and second superconducting arms such that the combined structure forms a small antenna with broadband behavior, multiband behavior or a combination thereof. The coupling between the two radiating arms is obtained via the shape and spatial arrangement thereof, in which at least one portion on each arm is placed in close proximity to each other (e.g., at a distance smaller than 1/10 of the longest free-space operating wavelength) to allow electromagnetic fields in one arm to be transferred to the other through close proximity regions. The proximity regions are spaced from the feeding port of the antenna (e.g., greater than 1/40 of the free-space longest operating wavelength) and specifically exclude the feeding port of the antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2020Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventors: Carles PUENTE BALIARDA, Jaume ANGUERA PROS, Jordi SOLER CASTANY, Antonio CONDES MARTINEZ
