  • Publication number: 20100085259
    Abstract: The present invention provides a planar antenna, including an inverted F-shaped antenna module having a first resonance unit, a second resonance unit and a linear feed-in unit, and a linear ground unit, wherein the linear ground unit is perpendicularly connected to the first and second resonance units to form a rectangular resonance cavity, the two resonance units have the same signal feed-in end but different widths, thereby resulting in different route lengths for generation of two sets of signals with different frequency responses. Further, by adjusting frequency bands of the two sets of signals with optimal responses to achieve a signal coupling resonance effect, signals with frequencies matching the resonant frequencies achieve high gain and high radiation efficiency and signals with frequencies different from the resonant frequencies are suppressed and cannot be efficiently radiated.
