  • Publication number: 20070182566
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal has a radio frequency identification (RFID) system to read information from RFID tags at predetermined distances. An RFID transmission antenna to transmit or receive a wireless signal for mobile communication to/from a base station, or transmit wireless signal to the RFID tag, and an RFID reception antenna to receive RFID wireless signal transmitted from the RFID tag. Accordingly, ingress of the RFID transmission carrier leakage to the RFID reception circuit can be prevented. Additionally, a small size antenna such as a chip ceramic antenna is used exclusively for RFID reception, and the RFID reception antenna is also used as a mobile communication antenna. As a result, the mobile communication terminal can be compact-sized, the size of transmission signal can be increased, and dynamic range increases without having to increase the sensitivity of the RFID tag, to extend the communication distance.

    Abstract: A flat-plate MIMO array antenna includes a substrate, a plurality of antenna elements disposed on the substrate, and at least one isolation element interposed between a plurality of antenna elements on the substrate and connected to a ground. Mutual interference between the antenna elements is prevented by the isolation element formed between the antenna elements, thereby preventing the distortion of the radiation pattern. Also, since the isolation element is grounded to the ground surface, the isolation element operates as a parasitic antenna, thereby increasing the output gain.

  • Publication number: 20060256015
    Abstract: A small broadband monopole antenna having a perpendicular ground plane with an electromagnetically coupled feed is provided. The small broadband monopole antenna may be realized as a small antenna having a size of 0.085?0×0.085?0×0.085?0 by positioning a folded strip line under a shorted square disc. A resonance of the shorted square disc may be coupled to a resonance of the square folded strip line so as to form a wide bandwidth of about 36.6% of a central frequency of 2.313 GHz based on a VSWR?2. Also, rectangular slits may be inserted into the perpendicular ground plane to improve a distortion of a radiation pattern that forms on the perpendicular ground plane so as to reduce a backward radiation by 3 dBi or more. The small broadband monopole antenna exhibits a forward radiation pattern similar to that of a general monopole antenna and has a gain of about 2.6 dBi within a bandwidth.
