- An antenna, comprising:a main radiation body, comprising a base side, a lateral side, a first inclined side and a second inclined side;a signal feed-in end, coupled to the main radiation body;a connection section, coupled to the main radiation body;a ground section, coupled to the connection section; andan impedance matching adjustment section, coupled to the ground section;wherein an included angle between the first inclined side and the lateral side is obtuse, an included angle between the first inclined side and the second inclined side is obtuse, and an included angle between the second inclined side and the base side is acute.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein the main radiation body is an asymmetric sector in shape and a length of the main radiation body is related to an operating frequency of the antenna.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein an included angle between the signal feed-in end and the connection section is a right angle.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein an include angle between the lateral side and the base side is a right angle.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein a size of the impedance matching adjustment section is related to an impedance matching of the antenna.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein the impedance matching adjustment section is rectangular.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein one end of the ground section is coupled to the main radiation body, and the other end of the ground section is coupled to the connection section.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein the signal feed-in end, the main radiation body, the connection section, the ground section and the impedance matching adjustment section is on the same plane.
- The antenna of claim 1, wherein a recess is formed between the main radiation body, the connection section, the ground section and the impedance matching adjustment section.
- The antenna of claim 2, wherein a width of the main radiation body is related to a bandwidth of the antenna.
- The antenna of claim 4, wherein the base side is parallel to a horizontal plane.
- The antenna of claim 9, wherein the recess overlaps the ground section and the connection section in a vertical direction.
- The antenna of claim 9, wherein a size of the recess is related to an impedance matching of the antenna.
- The antenna of claim 11, wherein the base side overlaps a bottom of the connection section in a horizontal direction.
- The antenna of claim 12, wherein the recess extends toward a horizontal direction and contacts the signal feed-in end in the vertical direction.
