Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a multi-band antenna, and particularly to a multi-band antenna which is adapted for configuring in portable electrical devices.
- 2. The Related Art
- There is a growing requirement for multi-band antennas used in wireless communication devices to adapt multi-band operation of wireless communication devices. It is necessary that an antenna adapting to being configured in wireless communication devices is capable of operating in various wireless communication bands such as GSM850 (Global System for Mobile communications), EGSM (Extended Global System for Mobile communications), DCS1800 (Digital Cellular System), PCS1900 (Personal Conferencing Specification), W-CDMA2100 (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), etc.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-band antenna operating in various wireless communication bands.
- According to the invention, the multi-band antenna includes an antenna body defining opposite ends and a feeding conductor connecting to the antenna body. The antenna body has a first radiating branch defining opposite elongated edges, a second radiating branch extending from one end of the first radiating branch and a third radiating branch extending from the other end of the first radiating branch. Wherein the length of the first radiating branch is larger than the length of the second radiating branch and the length of the first radiating branch is also larger than the length of the third radiating branch.
- The feeding conductor is curved to U-shape having a feeding point. The feeding conductor has opposite side arms and a connecting portion. One end of each side arm respectively connects to the second radiating branch and the other end of each side arm respectively connects both ends of the connecting portion. An outer edge of one of the side arms is at the same level with an area where the first radiating branch connects to the second radiating branch. The feeding point is arranged at a corner of the feeding conductor near the outer edge connecting the first radiating branch.
- While the multi-band antenna operates at wireless communication, the multi-band antenna has a low frequency bandwidth and a high frequency harmonic bandwidth. According to the position where the feeding conductor connects to the antenna body, and the position where the feeding point is arranged at the corner of the feeding conductor, the multi-band antenna has a preferred range of the low frequency bandwidth and the high frequency harmonic bandwidth. Therefore, the low frequency bandwidth of the multi-band antenna includes GSM850 and EGSM bands and the high frequency harmonic bandwidth of the multi-band antenna includes DCP1800, PCS1900, W-CDMA2100 and Wi-Fi bands.
- The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows the structure of a preferred embodiment of a multi-band antenna according to the present invention; and -
FIG. 2 illustrates the multi-band antenna configured in a notebook. - Please refer to
FIG. 1 , which shows the structure of a preferred embodiment of amulti-band antenna 100 according to the present invention. Themulti-band antenna 100 is made of metallic substances for example, making from a metal foil, printing on a printed circuit board and etc, having anantenna body 1 and afeeding conductor 2. - The
antenna body 1 defining afirst end 13 and asecond end 14 includes a first radiatingbranch 10 defining opposite elongated edges. A secondradiating branch 11 having thefirst end 13 extends from one end of the firstradiating branch 10. In this case, the width of the firstradiating branch 10 is narrower than the width of the secondradiating branch 11 and the length of the firstradiating branch 10 is longer than the length of the secondradiating branch 11. A thirdradiating branch 12 having thesecond end 14 extends from the other end of the firstradiating branch 10. The third radiatingbranch 12 is perpendicular to the firstradiating branch 10. In this case, the length of the thirdradiating branch 12 is shorter than the length of the firstradiating branch 10 and the width of the thirdradiating branch 12 is wider than the width of the firstradiating branch 10. In this case, both the secondradiating branch 11 and the thirdradiating branch 12 project toward the same direction. - The
feeding conductor 2 connects to theantenna body 1. In this case, thefeeding conductor 2 extends from an edge of the secondradiating branch 11. In this case, thefeeding conductor 2 and the second radiatingbranch 11 project to opposite directions. Thefeeding conductor 2 is curved to form U-shape having afirst side arm 20, asecond side arm 21 opposite to thefirst side arm 20 and a connectingportion 22. The first andsecond side arms second side arms radiating branch 11. The other end of the first andsecond side arms portion 22. - In this case, the outer edge of the
first side arm 20 is at the same level with an area where the firstradiating branch 10 connects to the secondradiating branch 11. Afeeding point 3 is arranged at a corner where thefirst side arm 20 connects to the connectingportion 22. Agrounding portion 4 is arranged around thefeeding conductor 2. In this case, thegrounding portion 4 is arranged to close a corner where thefirst branch 10 connects to thefirst side arm 20 of thefeeding conductor 2. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , themulti-band antenna 100 is folded for fitting in portable electrical devices. In this case, themulti-band antenna 100 is configured in alaptop 200. The firstradiating branch 10, the secondradiating branch 11 and the thirdradiating branch 12 are located on atop 201 of a display of thelaptop 200. An end portion of the third radiatingbranch 12 is located on afront surface 202 of the display of thelaptop 200. Thefeeding conductor 2 and thegrounding portion 4 are located on aback surface 203 of the display of thelaptop 200. In this case, thegrounding portion 1 electronically connects to a ground of thelaptop 200. Otherwise, in a further embodiment, thegrounding portion 4 could be the ground of thelaptop 200. Thelaptop 200 can operate themulti-band antenna 100 through acable 204 connecting to thefeeding point 3 of themulti-band antenna 100 and theground portion 4 for sending and receiving wireless signal. - While the
multi-band antenna 100 operates at wireless communication, themulti-band antenna 100 resonates a low frequency bandwidth and a high frequency harmonic bandwidth. In this case, a length from thefeeding conductor 2 connecting theantenna body 1 to thesecond end 14 of theantenna body 1 is a quarter of the wavelength of the low frequency bandwidth. A length from thefeeding conductor 2 connecting theantenna body 1 to thefirst end 13 of theantenna body 1 is a quarter of the wavelength of the high frequency harmonic bandwidth. - Therefore, according to the position where the
feeding conductor 2 connects to theantenna body 1 and the position where thefeeding point 3 is arranged at the corner of thefeeding conductor 2, themulti-band antenna 100 has a preferred low frequency bandwidth and a high frequency harmonic bandwidth. Because the outer edge of thefeeding conductor 2 is at the same level with the area where the firstradiating branch 10 connecting the secondradiating branch 11 and thefeeding point 3 is arranged at the corner where thefirst side arm 20 connecting to the connectingportion 22, the low frequency bandwidth of themulti-band antenna 100 includes GSM850 and EGSM bands and the high frequency harmonic bandwidth of themulti-band antenna 100 includes DCP1800, PCS1900, W-CDMA2100 and Wi-Fi bands. - Moreover, the U-shape
feeding conductor 2 is designed for balancing horizontal polarization and vertical polarization of themulti-band antenna 100 and enhancing the low frequency bandwidth of themulti-band antenna 100. - Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above; various additions, alterations and the like may be made within the scope of the present invention by a person skilled in the art. For example, respective embodiments may be appropriately combined.
