  • Publication number: 20100277378
    Abstract: The antenna includes a power-feeding radiation electrode and a non-power-feeding radiation electrode are provided adjacent to each other with a gap therebetween on the flexible substrate, which also is bendable. The power-feeding radiation electrode is used to perform antenna operation in a basic mode in which resonant operation is performed at a basic frequency and antenna operation in a high-order mode in which resonant operation is performed at a frequency higher than the basic frequency. The power-feeding radiation electrode includes a loop path configured such that the power-feeding radiation electrode first extends in a direction away from a power-feeding end and an open end is bent toward the power-feeding end. The non-power-feeding radiation electrode has one end serving as a ground-side end and the other end serving as an open end.

  • Patent number: 7808435
    Abstract: In an antenna structure in which a base is mounted in a ground region on a circuit board, the base having formed thereon a driven radiating electrode and a parasitic radiating electrode, the parasitic radiating electrode causing multiple resonance at least in a harmonic resonant frequency band of the driven radiating electrode, capacitance loading means for loading a capacitance to a harmonic-mode zero voltage region of the driven radiating electrode is provided. The capacitance loading means is electrically connected to a ground electrode in the ground region on the circuit board via a grounding conduction path and switching means. By switching the switching means ON/OFF, capacitance loading by the capacitance loading means to the harmonic-mode zero voltage region of the driven radiating electrode is switched ON/OFF to switch a base resonant frequency in a base resonant frequency band of the driven radiating electrode.

  • Patent number: 7502638
    Abstract: An antenna device includes a signal-band separating circuit that is interposed between a communication antenna and a ground portion that are disposed on a circuit board. The communication antenna is connected to a communication circuit by a signal line via a signal-band separating circuit. A telecast-receiving antenna is connected to a broadcast circuit by a signal line. The signal-band separating circuit transmits signals in a frequency band for communication between the communication antenna and the communication circuit, and transmits signals in a frequency band for telecasts between the communication antenna and the ground portion. The antenna length (electrical length) of the telecast-receiving antenna is extended by adding the antenna length of the communication antenna in addition to the antenna length of the ground portion, thereby improving the antenna gain during telecast reception.
