  • Patent number: 7522119
    Abstract: A multiband antenna with removed coupling includes a radiator formed as a meander line bent zigzag several times and having a gap filling part in at least one area between neighboring meander lines. The gap filling part interconnects the neighboring meander lines. The multiband antenna further includes a ground connected with the radiator and at least one switch element mounted in an area along the longitudinal direction of the radiator and configured to alternately short or open an area of the radiator. Accordingly, two different resonance frequencies can be tuned using the single antenna, and the antenna efficiency can be enhanced by removing the coupling between the resonant frequencies that are tuned through the gap filling.

  • Patent number: 7522106
    Abstract: An antenna having an extended operation frequency bandwidth that includes: a feed, and a plurality of radiators which are connected to the feed to receive current and divided at the feed. Accordingly, the RFID radio signals and the mobile communication radio signals can be transmitted and received via the single antenna because the frequency bandwidth is expanded. Therefore, the efficiency of the antenna can be improved and the mobile communication terminal can be miniaturized. Furthermore, since the antenna obtains the increased gain, the communication quality of the antenna can be enhanced and the power consumption can be reduced.
