Antenna structure with distributed strip
| DWPI Title: Antenna structure for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals sets third width of one electrical conductor of the radiating body to be ten times greater than primary width of other electrical conductor of the radiating body |
| Abstract: An antenna comprises electrical conductors arranged to form a radiating element including a folded line configuration and a distributed strip configuration, where the radiating element is in proximity to a ground conductor. The folded line and the distributed strip can be electrically interconnected and substantially coplanar. The ground conductor can be spaced from, and coplanar to, the radiating element, or can alternatively lie in a plane set at an angle to the radiating element. Embodiments of the antenna include conductor patterns formed on a printed wiring board, having a ground plane, spacedly adjacent to and coplanar with the radiating element. Other embodiments of the antenna comprise a ground plane and radiating element on opposed sides of a printed wiring board. Other embodiments of the antenna comprise conductors that can be arranged as free standing "foils". Other embodiments include antennas that are encapsulated into a package containing the antenna. |
| Use: Antenna structure for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals. |
| Advantage: Provides an antenna that can be designed to fit within the small form factors often required of wireless systems. Needless of the use of the coplanar waveguide and microstrip feeds to the antenna. |
| Novelty: A ground includes an electrical conductor laterally separated from the two other electrical conductors (102,106) of the radiating body (120), and which is not directly contacted with these two other electrical conductors. The third width of one electrical conductor of the radiating body is ten times greater than the primary width of the other electrical conductor of the radiating body. |
