Definitions

  • the present invention relates to microstrip antennas and, more particularly, to a microstrip antenna which corresponds to a plurality of frequency bands and is also able to select the type of polarized wave.
  • a microstrip antenna 100 illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9 is constructed of a dielectric-made substrate 101, a radiation electrode 102 formed on one main surface of the substrate 101, and a ground electrode 103 formed on the other main surface of the substrate 101. Moreover, a power-feeding through-hole 104 is provided at a position corresponding to the radiation electrode 102 on the substrate 101.
  • a connector 105 used for feeding power to the radiation electrode 102 is inserted into and past the feeding through-hole 104 from the other main surface of the substrate 101. The connector 105 is electrically connected to the radiation electrode 102 by means of solder 106a and is fixed to the substrate 101 by means of solder 106a and 106b.
  • the microstrip antenna 100 constructed as described above receives the circularly polarized wave, and the radiation electrode 102 is accordingly provided with degenerative-mode separating portions 102a, as illustrated in Fig. 8.
  • a microstrip antenna 110 shown in Figs. 10 and 11 is configured of a dielectric-made substrate 111, a radiation electrode 112 formed on one main surface of the substrate 111, and a ground electrode 113 disposed on the other main surface of the substrate 111. Further, a power-feeding through-hole 114 is provided at a position corresponding to the radiation electrode 112 on the substrate 111.
  • a connector 115 used for feeding power to the radiation electrode 112 is inserted into and past the feeding through-hole 114 from the other main surface of the substrate 111.
  • the connector 115 is electrically connected to the radiation electrode 112 by means of solder 116a and is fixed to the substrate 111 by means of solder 116a and 116b.
  • the microstrip antenna 110 configured as described above receives the linearly polarized wave, and unlike the radiation electrode 102 of the microstrip antenna 100, the radiation electrode 112 is accordingly free of regenerating separation portions, as shown in Fig. 10.
  • the two radiation electrodes respectively corresponding to the different frequency bands should be placed with an ample distance therebetween in order to avoid interference between the frequency bands. Additionally, power-feeding means, such as a connector, should be provided for each of the radiation electrodes, thereby hampering the miniaturization of the antenna.
  • a microstrip antenna characterized by: a substrate; a first radiation-electrode formed on one main surface of the substrate; at least one second radiation-electrode formed on the periphery of the first radiation-electrode with a spacing between the first and second radiation-electrodes; a ground electrode formed on the other main surface of the substrate; a power-feeding means formed at a position corresponding to the first radiation-electrode on the substrate; a through-hole formed at a position corresponding to the second radiation-electrode on the substrate; and at least two capacitive-coupling portions for capacitively coupling the first radiation-electrode and the second radiation-electrode.

  • the first radiation-electrode serves as a microstrip antenna which corresponds to one frequency band.
  • the first radiation-electrode is capacitively coupled to the second radiation-electrode so as to form another microstrip line, thereby serving the function of a microstrip antenna which matches another frequency band. Accordingly, a microstrip antenna which corresponds to a plurality of frequency bands can be formed on a single substrate, and only one feeding through-hole is required to feed power, thereby achieving the miniaturization of the antenna.
  • the second radiation-electrode comprises at least one L-shaped radiation electrode to enlarge the effective area of the microstrip antenna, thereby increasing the gain of the antenna.
  • the capacitive-coupling portions are formed in a comb-like shape, a high capacitance can be obtained only with the electrode pattern. This makes it possible to decrease the thickness of the capacitive-coupling portions and also to facilitate the adjustment of the capacitance by means such as trimming.

  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A of Fig. 1.
