  • Patent number: 10461423
    Abstract: A multi-frequency antenna comprises a substrate disposed on a clearance area of a circuit board, and a first resonance unit and a second resonance unit located on the surface of the substrate or within the substrate. The first resonance unit is connected to a signal feeding terminal of the circuit board and connected to the second resonance unit via a first filtering element. The first resonance unit forms the first resonance frequency of the multi-frequency antenna, and the first resonance unit, the first filtering element, and the second resonance unit all together form the second resonant frequency. The first filtering element shows a high impedance towards the signal with the first resonant frequency and a low impedance towards the signal with the second resonant frequency. Thus, an antenna with multiple resonant frequencies can be obtained. The material and manufacturing costs of the multi-frequency antenna can thereby be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5411563
    Abstract: A method for preparing strengthened ceramic/glass substrates by laminating and sintering multiple layers of ceramic/glass precursory substrates having different thermal expansion coefficients, with the inner layer having higher thermal expansion coefficient and the outer layers having lower thermal expansion coefficient. After the sintered substrates are cooled, a compressive stress will be permanently imparted in the sintered substrates which will be exerted onto the surface layer thereof. Such a compressive stress has the effect of impeding the growth of any defects and thus provides the strengthening effect. The method disclosed in the present invention can be used to strengthen ceramic/glass substrates that contain electronic parts or conductor circuits.
