Patents by Inventor Zih-Hao Lu

Zih-Hao Lu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7391376
    Abstract: A wireless apparatus capable of controlling radiation patterns and directions of antenna is provided. It comprises an antenna element, a ground plane, an antenna feed-point, and at least one slot or slit formed on the ground plane. The inclusion of such slots or slits in the wireless apparatus improves the radiation directivity of antenna, and greatly enhances the antenna gain on the horizontal plane. It also resolves the problems caused by shift of radiation patterns of antenna and the poor antenna gains for a conventional antenna apparatus. The wireless apparatus of the present invention has the advantages of simple structure and easy fabrication. The invention can be applied to various kinds of antennas, such as monopole antenna, shorted-monopole antenna, dipole antenna, loop antenna, and planar inverted-F antenna, etc.

  • Patent number: 7145511
    Abstract: An apparatus of antenna with heat slug and its fabricating process are provided, in which the antenna with heat slug can be realized with a single sheet or double sheets of metal. A dual-band antenna module with a mask cover is taken as an example to realize the apparatus. Each single sheet of metal can be achieved by simply cutting and bending a metal plate. Thereby, it is a simple and low-cost fabricating process. In the known fabricating process of integrated circuit, the heat slug and the antenna can be combined in a module at the same step. Therefore, integrating the antenna with heat slug in a fabricating process needs not to develop a new process.
