Definitions

  • the invention described herein relates generally to a multi-band antenna for a handheld wireless communications device.
  • the invention relates to a dual-band patch antenna.
  • Patch antennas are common in wireless handheld communication devices due to their low profile structure. Further, patch antennas can be implemented with a virtually unlimited number of shapes, thereby allowing such antennas to conform to most surface profiles. Since modem handheld communication devices are required to operate in multiple frequency bands, multi-band patch antennas have been developed for use in such devices.
  • Wen (US 7,023,387 ) describes a dual-band antenna that comprises a first C-shaped patch antenna structure, and a second C-shaped patch antenna structure coupled to the first patch antenna structure, each patch antenna structure having a respective slot structure.
  • the first patch antenna structure includes a signal feed point
  • the second patch antenna structure includes a ground point that is proximate the signal feed point.
  • PIFA planar inverted-F antennas
  • PIFA antennas have been developed which include multiple resonant sections, each having a respective resonant frequency.
  • broadband technologies such as parasitic elements and/or multi-layer structures, have been used to modify the conventional PIFA antenna for multi-band and broadband applications.
  • the additional resonant branches introduced by these approaches make the operational frequencies of the antennas difficult to tune. Further, the additional branches can introduce significant electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems.
