Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a capacitively loaded antenna, and in particular to a capacitively loaded meander antenna, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to an antenna assembly.
  • a general method for optimising an electrically small antenna for common applications is maximising the product of bandwidth and radiation efficiency for the antenna. Occasionally this can be done by decreasing the reactance of the antenna without decreasing, and preferably by increasing, the radiation efficiency. Decreasing the reactance of a monopole antenna can be done by minimising the inductive loading or maximising the capacitive loading. An added capacitive load will optimally reduce the necessary inductive loading for an electrically small self resonant monopole, will give no added losses, and will increase the total currents on the monopole. Together this means that capacitive loading will increase the above mentioned product of bandwidth and radiation efficiency.
  • Adding a load, capacitive or inductive, at the top is optimum for radiation efficiency, though other mechanical or matching aspects might exclude such top loading.
  • a self resonant electrically small capacitively loaded antenna will still need a minimum amount of inductive loading.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an antenna that optimise the use of an electrically small cubic volume available for the antenna, in particular with respect to radiation efficiency and bandwidth.
  • the invention is also directed to an antenna assembly including a capacitively loaded antenna.
  • An advantage with the present invention is that a simple construction is obtained thus reducing manufacturing costs.
  • the antenna may be assembled of flat parts, which are easy to produce and store.
  • the antenna may be made very robust only by adding one support.

  • a second end 18 of said radiating element 1 is connected to said capacitive load 2.
  • the capacitive load 2 has a first side 7 and a second side 8, where said second side 8 is facing the ground means 3-5 and the first side 7 is facing away from the ground means 3-5.
