Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-band antenna structure, and more particularly, to a multi-band antenna structure that is directly integrated into electrical circuits on a circuit board to save manufacturing cost and ensure stable receiving or transmitting of signals.
  • the currently available multi-band antennas are manufactured by stamping a metal sheet into a desired shape and bending each shaped metal sheet into an antenna; and multiple shaped and bent antennas are then electrically connected to a single piece of circuit board to form a dual-polarized array multi-band antenna structure.
  • the printing technique is used to print a pattern on a copper film of a circuit board for forming an antenna, and the exposure and development technique is used to produce the pattern of the antenna.
  • multiple pieces of circuit boards having the antenna patterns formed thereon are stacked to form a dual-polarized array multi-band antenna structure.
  • the multi-band antenna structure so formed can be used in different bands to receive or transmit signals.
  • Either the stamp formed or the printed conventional multi-band antenna structure is assembled from multiple pieces of antennas to have a relatively large volume and size and requires an increased manufacturing cost.
  • it is difficult to manufacture and install the conventional multi-band antenna structures because the multiple pieces of antennas have signal feed-in points that are not located on the same plane or at the same position.
  • the conventional multi-band antenna structures will disadvantageously produce multiple noises when receiving multiple bands of signals.
  • the conventional multi-band antenna structures with the three-dimensional configuration tend to vibrate in use, which has an adverse influence on the signal transmission or receiving.
  • the packaging can be performed via injection molding or epoxy potting.
  • the multi-band antenna structure is packaged, it could not be reworked. Therefore, it is a target of persons skilled in the art to improve the conventional multi-band antenna structures.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art multi-band antenna structures by providing a multi-band antenna structure that can be manufactured at reduced cost and can receive multiple bands of signals with reduced noise.
  • the multi-band antenna structure provided according to the present invention includes a substrate.
  • the substrate has a first wiring area located on one side surface thereof.
  • the first wiring area has a first metal trace, a second metal trace and a connecting portion formed thereon.
  • the first and the second metal trace are respectively in an elongated spiral pattern; and the connecting portion is electrically connected at two opposite ends to the first and the second metal trace.
  • the multi-band antenna structure of the present invention improves the problems in the conventional multi-band antenna structures. Since the multi-band structure of the present invention can be integrated into electrical circuits on a circuit board to be manufactured along with the electrical circuits at the same time, it can be produced at increased yield and reduced manufacturing cost.

  • the first and the second metal trace 12, 13 respectively have a trace width of 0.5 mm and a trace spacing of 0.3 mm.
