  • Patent number: 7978141
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a coupled-fed multi-band loop antenna. The antenna comprises a dielectric substrate, a ground plane located on the dielectric substrate and has a grounding point, a radiating portion which comprise a supporter, a coupling trip and a loop strip, and a matching circuit. The coupling strip and loop strip are both located on the supporter, with the coupling strip surrounded by the loop strip. The length of loop strip is about 0.25 wavelength of the antenna's first resonant mode. The loop strip has a first end paralleling with the coupling loop, a second end and a shorting point near the second end and electrically connected to the grounding point on the ground plane. The matching circuit is on the dielectric substrate. One terminal of the matching circuit is connected to the coupling strip, and the other is connected to a signal source.

  • Patent number: 7768466
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiband folded loop antenna comprising a dielectric substrate, a ground plane, a radiating portion and a matching circuit. The ground plane is located on the dielectric substrate and has a grounding point. The radiating portion comprises a supporter, a loop strip, and a tuning patch. The loop strip has a length about a half-wavelength of the central frequency of the antenna's first resonant mode. The loop strip has a feeding end and a grounding end, with the grounding end electrically connected to the grounding point on the ground plane. The loop strip is folded into a three-dimensional structure and is supported by the supporter. The tuning patch is electrically connected to the loop strip. The matching circuit is located on the dielectric substrate with one terminal electrically connected to the feeding end of the loop strip and another terminal to a signal source.

  • Patent number: 7586456
    Abstract: A broadband antenna includes a dielectric substrate, a radiation conductor and a feeding gap. The radiation conductor is disposed on the dielectric substrate and has a first side and a second side. The first side is adjacent to the second side, and the first side is longer than the second side. The second side has a first feeding point and a second feeding point. The feeding gap has a first end located at the first side and a second end located at the second side. The feeding gap divides the radiation conductor into a first sub-radiation conductor and a second sub-radiation conductor. The first feeding point is located on the first sub-radiation conductor and the second feeding point is located on the second sub-radiation conductor.
