  • Patent number: 10651548
    Abstract: A substrate type antenna for conducting signal transmitting/receiving using two (2) antennas, each having almost a same resonance frequency band, wherein each of the two (2) antennas applies therein a spiral antenna having an antenna side coupling pattern, which is positioned to face to a power supply point side coupling pattern, and a spiral antenna having a spiral antenna pattern, which is coupled to the antenna side coupling pattern, and wherein those two (2) antennas are positioned in such a manner that extending directions of the facing end portions, being closest to each other in the spiral antenna patterns of those two (2) antennas, are not aligned to each other, but are shifted in different directions.

  • Patent number: 8912965
    Abstract: The simply configured substrate antenna has a plurality of antennas. A loop-like first joint pattern one spot of which is divided is formed in one-side substrate surface of a substrate composed of a dielectric material. Antenna elements that configure a first antenna are respectively connected to both ends of the first joint pattern at the divided position. A loop-like second joint pattern one spot of which is divided is formed in the other-side substrate surface at a position opposite to the first joint pattern. Antenna elements that configure a second antenna are respectively connected to both ends of the second joint pattern at the divided position. The first and second antennas are set to approximately the same or different resonance frequency bands. Feeding and ground points connected to and formed in the first joint pattern are held in common to transmit or receive a transmission/reception signal.

  • Patent number: 8743007
    Abstract: The present invention provides a substrate type antenna capable of realizing high gain enhancement and high band enhancement in a simple configuration. In the substrate type antenna, a loop-like first joint pattern whose one spot is divided, is formed in one substrate surface of a substrate made of a dielectric material. Antennas are respectively connected to both end terminals of the first joint pattern at a position where the first joint pattern is divided. A loop-like second joint pattern formed at a position corresponding to the first joint pattern and whose one spot is divided, is formed in the other substrate surface of the substrate. A loop-like third joint pattern which is substantially concentric with the first joint pattern and which is formed at a position corresponding to the second joint pattern and whose spot is divided, is formed in the one substrate surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 8681069
    Abstract: The present invention provides a substrate type antenna having resonant frequencies different in a simple configuration. At least one loop-like another joint pattern one spot of which is divided is formed at a position opposite to a second joint pattern having common feeding points. Antennas are respectively connected to both end terminals of both of a first joint pattern and another joint pattern referred to above at their divided positions. The antennas connected to the first joint pattern and the antennas connected to another joint pattern referred to above are respectively made different in resonant frequency.

  • Publication number: 20080024241
    Abstract: A high frequency coupler (2) comprising first and second coupler patterns (11, 12) each having an annular shape broken at one location and formed, facing each other, on the front and rear surfaces of a circuit board (10) consisting of a dielectric and being t thick. The terminals (11a, 11b) of the first coupler pattern (11) serve as unbalanced terminals, and the terminals (12a, 12b) of the second coupler pattern (12) serve as unbalanced terminals from which coplanar lines (41, 42) are led out along the rear surface and connected with a balanced antenna (5). Since the first and second coupler patterns (11, 12) are kept in an electrostatic capacity coupling state as well as in a magnetic induction coupling state, the coupler high in transmission efficiency in a broad band can be realized.

    Abstract: In a RF coupler that has high transmission efficiency in a broad range and that uses an RF printed layered circuit board, strong electrostatic coupling is obtained between circuits, and electromagnetic coupling is also used; C-shaped loops (1, 2) that have parts cut out face the surfaces of a dielectric plate having a thickness t; terminals (1a, 1b) connected to the two ends of the loop (1) are used as primary terminals; terminals (2a, 2b) of the loop (2) are used as secondary terminals; and coplanar lines (4) extend from these terminals along the surface of the dielectric plate up to terminals (41, 42). Therefore, the portions where the loops overlap are couplers, the coplanar lines are secondary transmission lines, and a wide variety of antennas not limited to dipoles may be connected to terminals (4a, 4b).
