  • Publication number: 20120242555
    Abstract: An antenna module is provided. The antenna module includes a radiator, a feed pin, a ground element, a first parasitic arm, a second parasitic arm and an impedance matching unit. The radiator includes a first section and a second section, wherein an end of the first section is connected to the second section, and the first section is perpendicular to the second section. The feed pin is connected to another end of the first section. The first parasitic arm is parallel to the second section, wherein an end of first parasitic arm is connected to the ground element, and the first parasitic arm couples with the second section of the radiator. The impedance matching unit is connected to the second section and the ground element. The second parasitic arm is partially parallel to the first section, and the second parasitic arm couples with the first section of the radiator, and an end of the second parasitic arm is connected to the ground element.

  • Publication number: 20110043421
    Abstract: An antenna is provided. The antenna includes a radiator, a feed conductor and a ground conductor. The radiator includes a body and a parasitic element. An aperture is formed on the body, and the body encloses the aperture. The parasitic element is connected to the body and extended into the aperture, wherein the parasitic element is connected to the body at a parasitic location. The feed conductor is connected to the body, wherein a signal, fed to the body by the feed conductor, travels on the body, and passes the parasitic location to the parasitic element. The ground conductor is connected to the body.
