Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multiband planar antenna and / or broadband, more particularly an antenna suitable for networks without mobile or domestic wires.
  • equipment laptops that can be used as a mobile phone when one is away from home and as part of household equipment home network when you get home, namely equipment cellular network / home network compatible.
  • annular slot 1 operating at a frequency f given.
  • This annular slot 1 is supplied by a line microstrip 2.
  • I'm represents the length of microstrip line necessary to make an adaptation to 50 ⁇
  • W s and W m being respectively the width of the slit and the width of the microstrip line.
  • the present invention provides a new multiband and / or broadband planar antenna structure of simple and space-saving design.
  • the subject of the present invention is a planar antenna of the type comprising a first slot dimensioned to operate at a first frequency f1 and supplied by a supply line positioned so that the slot is in a short-circuit plane of the supply line, characterized in that it comprises at least a second slot dimensioned to operate at a second frequency f2, the second slot being supplied by said supply line.
  • the second slot is in a plane power line short circuit.
  • this antenna has N slots, each dimensioned to operate at a frequency f i with i varying from 1 to N, each slot being supplied by said supply line so as to be in a short-circuit plane of the feeder.
  • the two slots are cotangent in one point, the supply line being located either at this point or at the opposite of this point where the two slots are concentric.
  • each slot is chosen so that the slot resonates at said frequency f i .
  • Each slot may be of identical shape or not, symmetrical with respect to a point.
  • each slot is circular or square.
  • the slot may be provided with means allowing the radiation of a circularly polarized wave. These means are constituted, for example, by notches. In this case, depending on the position of the supply line, a wave with right or left circular polarization will be generated.
  • a dual-frequency antenna in accordance with the present invention comprises a first annular slot 10 whose radius R1 is chosen to operate at a first fundamental frequency f1. Therefore, the radius R1 is equal to ⁇ s1 / 2 ⁇ where ⁇ s1 is the wavelength in the slot 10.
