Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an antenna, especially to an eight-frequency band antenna for enhancing the frequency response of the low-frequency segment and bandwidth of the high-frequency segment.
  • the current commercially available planar inverted-F antenna is generally formed by printing metal material (such as copper) on printed circuit board (PCB) with two-dimensional printing technology. Alternatively, metal membrane is pressed into three-dimensional multi frequency band antenna.
  • the multi frequency bands signal transmission/reception can be achieved by changing the two-dimensional radiation patterns or the geometric shape of the three-dimensional radiation bodies.
  • the antenna formed on PCB or formed by pressing metal membrane into radiation body need a specific volume to ensure signal transmission/reception quality and prevent signal tuning problem caused by environment.
  • the electronic device needs an internal space for arranging the PIFA structure; this causes impact on light weight and compact requirement of the electronic devices.
  • the radiation body of the antenna can be fabricated on a rectangular ceramic carrier.
  • the carrier 101 of the antenna 10 has a high-frequency radiator 102 and a low-frequency radiator 103 on the surface thereof and the carrier 101 is fixed on the PCB 20.
  • the PCB 20 has a ground metal plane 201, a signal feeding micro strip 202 and a ground wire 203 on two faces thereof, where the signal feeding micro strip 202 connects with the ground wire 203 and the radiator of the carrier 101.

  • the antenna 10 is electrically connected to the PCB 20 and the area of the ground metal plane 201 corresponding to the low-frequency radiator 103 is smaller than the area of the ground metal plane 201 corresponding to the high-frequency radiator 102. Therefore, the low-frequency radiator 103 suffers more to the ground shielding and the frequency response (see label A in Fig. 2 ) is not satisfactory. Moreover, the bandwidth of the high-frequency radiator 102 is not wide enough (only covering 6 bands as shown by label B in Fig. 2 ). As a result, the signal transmission/reception quality is poor and signal transmission/reception bandwidth is limited.
  • the low-frequency segment is corresponding to a smaller area portion of the ground metal face on the PCB when the antenna carrier is fixed to the PCB.
