The dual-band antenna of wideband

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention provides a kind of flat plane antenna, and particularly a kind of frequency band links to each other and can increase the flat plane antenna of frequency range.

Background note:

In the information life in modern times, everyone wishes to obtain Useful Information whenever and wherever possible easily; And the wireless telecommunications equipment in use must optical fiber, cable just can transmission signal, transmits the splendid approach of information beyond doubt.Along with development of technology, various portable wireless telecommunications equipment (similarly being mobile phone), it is characteristic easily lightly, has also become the important information interchange instrument of modern.

In the wireless telecommunications equipment, be used for launching the reception radio wave to transmit the antenna of exchange radio data signal, be undoubtedly one of most important element.Especially in the portable wireless communication equipment in modern times, not only antenna compact (to cooperate the characteristic of portable wireless communication equipment) is preferably also wanted to operate in double frequency, and frequency range is also wideer.As everyone knows, in order to want to bring into play the characteristic of wireless telecommunications, the radio data signal can be modulated with different frequencies, be allowed the radio data signal after modulating to increase the capacity of radio signals transmission via different frequency band (frequency band) transmission.Similarly be the pan-European mobile telephone system (GSM, Global System for MobileCommunications) of present mobile phone communication standard, it is the frequency band of two wireless transmission of 900 and 1,800 megahertzes (MHz, i.e. MHz) that main frequency is just arranged.In order to want to launch/to receive the radio data signal of double frequency-band, the antenna in the wireless telecommunications equipment is also wanted to operate in double frequency-band naturally.In addition, along with degree (weighing with the bit number that transmits in the unit interval sometimes) increase of data aggregation in the radio data signal, the frequency range of antenna operation time-frequency band (bandwidth) also will increase thereupon.

Please refer to Fig. 1.Fig. 1 is a United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 926, the external view of No. 139 disclosed traditional antennas 10.First flat board 12, a conduction and the two ends that traditional antenna 10 has ground connection flat board 14, a conduction of a conduction and is located at dull and stereotyped 14 tops of ground connection are connected to the connector 18 of dull and stereotyped 14 and first flat board 12 of ground connection, and the signal interface 19 that two contacts are arranged.One end of signal interface 19 is an earth terminal, is electrically connected on ground plane 14; The other end is the signal end, is electrically connected in first flat board 12 at contact 16.The document signal that will be sent or be accepted by antenna 10 by antenna 10 is just by 19 feed-ins of signal interface or feed out antenna 10.Connector 18 is a short circuit pin (short pin), is used for connecting first flat board 12 and ground connection flat board 14.For can be in dual-band operation, first flat board of traditional antenna 10 has two resonance ranges (resonating area) 17A, 17B; A frequency band of respective antenna 10 operation separately.Other are as the disclosed antenna of European patent (european patent) EP 0997974A1, and are also approximate with antenna 10, and first flat board that is provided with two resonance ranges is arranged.

For illustrating further the design principle of traditional antenna 10, please refer to Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of the reflection coefficient (reflection) of traditional antenna 10 with frequency change, and its transverse axis is a frequency; The longitudinal axis is reflection coefficient (absolute value).The reflection coefficient of antenna can be used to weigh the frequency range of antenna operation frequency band; Generally (dB, frequency range decibel) is as the exercisable frequency band of antenna less than-10 decibels with reflection coefficient.As shown in Figure 2, two of antenna 10 resonance portion 17A, 17B (being shown in Fig. 1) just correspond respectively to antenna 10 and are distributed in two frequency band A1 and A2 near frequency f a and the fb; Also therefore traditional antenna 10 can operate in two frequency bands.

The moulding of traditional antenna 10 this flat plane antennas (planar antenna) is flat, quite is fit to be embedded in the portable wireless communication equipment as mobile phone etc., makes it not have outstanding antenna part.Yet traditional antenna 10 has the problem of frequency range deficiency, especially at the higher frequency band of frequency.In general, the frequency range of antenna 10 be increased, the size of corresponding resonance range will be increased.But the size that increases resonance range will increase the total area and the volume of antenna, can't meet the compact requirement of portable wireless communication equipment.With pan-European Mobile Communications system, near the frequency band of its specification requirement 1,800 megahertzes will have the frequency range of 170 megahertzes; But, under requiring, stock size can't reach frequency range like this as the design of traditional antenna 10.

Summary of the invention:

Therefore, main purpose of the present invention is to provide the double-frequency planar antenna of a wideband, to solve the shortcoming of traditional antenna bandwidth deficiency.

Detailed description of the invention:
