Please refer to Fig. 1, is the stereogram of an embodiment in inventive antenna.Described antenna 10 comprises medium substrate 11, is all attached to metal structure 12 on medium substrate 11 and ground unit 22.Described ground unit 22 for sheet metal and on offer by least one plated-through hole 23.In the present embodiment, an adhesion metal structure 12 on the surface of the medium substrate 11 of described antenna 10; Ground unit 22 is all provided with on relative two surfaces of medium substrate 11, also offer by through hole (not shown) at the matter substrate 11 of described plated-through hole 23 correspondence position, by these plated-through holes 23, each ground unit 22 disperseed is electrically connected formation publicly.In other embodiments, relative two surfaces of medium substrate 11 all adhesion metal structures 12 of described antenna 10, are all provided with ground unit 22 on relative two surfaces of medium substrate 11.
Please refer to Fig. 2, shown metal structure 12 comprises an electromagnetic response unit 120, for wrapping up a metal openings ring 121 of described electromagnetic response unit 120 and extending with one end of metal openings ring 121 the feedback point 123 that end is connected.Described electromagnetic response unit 123 comprises a field coupled structure (electric-field-coupled, abbreviation ELC).This kind of design is equivalent to and adds antenna physical length (physical length size does not increase), so just can design the radio-frequency antenna be operated under very low operation frequency in minimum space.Solve the physical constraints of traditional antenna antenna controlled space area when low frequency operation.
See also Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the schematic diagram of the metal structure of antenna and the stereogram of inventive antenna second embodiment.In order to realize impedance matching and the better performance improving antenna 10, antenna 10 can also be revised further; Described metal structure 12 also comprises at least one metal sublayer structure 122, i.e. at least one metal sublayer structure 122 nested in the field coupled structure (electric-field-coupled, abbreviation ELC) of described electromagnetic response unit 123.In the present embodiment, nested four identical metal sublayer structures 122 respectively and being connected as a body (as shown in Figure 3) with field coupled structure in field coupled structure (ELC).In this other modes, described four identical metal sublayer structures 122 can directly adopt field coupled or inductance coupling high mode to be connected with field coupled structure.
The shape of at least two metal sublayer structures in above-mentioned four metal sublayer structures 122 is not identical, and namely described four metal sublayer structures 122 can be completely not identical or not with part.
Various wireless communication apparatus can adopt the antenna 10 or 20 in the present invention, but in order to the impedance matching between antenna 10 or 20 and various wireless communication apparatus or realize multimode operation pattern, described metal sublayer structure 122 can adopt the various metal sublayer structure to electromagnetic response and derived structure thereof.As described in metal sublayer structure 122 can select complementary split ring resonator metal sublayer structure (as shown in Fig. 4 a, 4b), namely as shown in Fig. 4 a, 4b, the shape of two kinds of metal sublayer structures forms complementation.
Metal sublayer structure 122 shown in described Fig. 4 a and 4b forms a pair complementary split ring resonator metal sublayer structure mutually.Because metal sublayer structure 122 is not as shown in fig. 4 a provided with connection end, the metal sublayer structure 122 therefore shown in Fig. 4 a can adopt coupled modes to be arranged in metal structure 12, thus forms described antenna 10 (as shown in Figure 9) of the present invention.In like manner, do not arrange shown in Fig. 4 b by connection end yet, coupled modes also can be adopted to be arranged in metal structure 12.
