- the configuration of the antenna 550 is the same as the configuration of the antenna 520, description thereof is omitted.
- the antennas 520 and 550 having the above configuration are used in a state where the distance between the transmitting electrode 506 and the receiving electrode 516 is close to a predetermined distance (for example, about 3 cm). More specifically, when the distance between the transmitting electrode 506 and the receiving electrode 516 becomes a predetermined distance, a predetermined capacitance is generated between the transmitting electrode 506 and the receiving electrode 516, and the input of the antenna 520 is performed.

- the transmission electrode 506 and the reception electrode 516 are electrically coupled, and the reception electrode 516 receives the fluctuation of the electric field radiated by the transmission electrode 506, thereby transmitting a high-frequency signal. Is called.
- the communication system 500 described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that the degree of freedom in design is low. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, a standing wave is generated in the stub 526. This standing wave is generated when a high-frequency signal output from the transmission circuit unit 502 is input to the stub 526 and is repeatedly reflected at both ends of the stub 526.
- the end of the input side of the stub 526 completely matches the node of the standing wave, the input impedance of the stub 526 becomes 0 ⁇ . Therefore, impedance matching between the connector 540 connected to the stub 526 and the stub 526 is lost. As a result, a high frequency signal cannot be input to the stub 526. Therefore, in the antenna 520, as shown in FIG. 19, the end portion on the input side of the stub 526 is slightly shifted from the node of the standing wave. Specifically, the connector 540 is connected to the stub 526 so that the input impedance of the stub 526 matches the output impedance of the connector 540.
- the end of the stub 526 on the input side is provided at a position slightly shorter than the half wavelength of the high-frequency signal from the connection position between the stub 526 and the via-hole conductor 532 as shown in FIG.
- the input impedance of the stub 526 matches the output impedance of the connector 540, and the high frequency signal is input from the connector 540 to the stub 526 with low reflection.
- the input impedance of the stub 526 whose one end is terminated is low at both ends and is high at the center, like the standing wave. Further, the rate of change of the input impedance of the stub 526 whose one end is terminated is large at both ends and small at the center, as in the standing wave. Since the connector 540 is connected to the end portion of the stub 526, if the connection position of the connector 540 with respect to the stub 526 slightly deviates from the original position, the input impedance of the stub 526 greatly deviates from the output impedance of the connector 540.
- the antenna 520 has a problem that the degree of freedom in design is low because the connector 540 needs to be accurately connected to the stub 526. Further, when the connector 540 is changed to an RF cable or the like, for example, when the characteristic impedance is changed from 50 ⁇ to 35 ⁇ , it is necessary to redesign the connection position of the connector 540 with respect to the antenna 520. In actual use, the characteristic impedance of the connector or cable differs depending on the manufactured product. Therefore, after designing the antenna 520 for a specific connector, it is very difficult to change to another connector or cable. The same problem occurs in the antenna 550.

- An antenna includes a ground conductor to which a ground potential is applied, a linear conductor through which a high-frequency signal is transmitted, an insulator layer that insulates between the ground conductor and the linear conductor, Connected between the linear conductor and the ground conductor, and between the point where the linear conductor is connected and the point where the ground conductor is connected, than the line width of the linear conductor A radiation conductor having a wide line width and radiating an electric field.

More specifically, in the antenna 520 of the communication system 500 of Patent Document 1, a standing wave is generated by the stub 526 and an electric field is radiated from the transmitting electrode 506 using the standing wave. In order to generate such a standing wave, the connector 540 needs to be accurately connected to the stub 526 so that the input impedance of the stub 526 matches the output impedance of the connector 540. Therefore, the antenna 520 has a problem that the degree of freedom in design is low.
- the antenna 10a does not radiate an electric field using a standing wave, but constitutes an LC resonance circuit in the antenna 10a so that only a high-frequency signal having the center frequency f of the LC resonance circuit is linear.
- the signal is transmitted through the conductor 24 and the radiation conductor 16.
- the line width W2 of the radiation conductor 16 is made wider than the line width W1 of the line conductor 24, and the area of the radiation conductor 16 is made larger than the area of the line conductor 24.
- the radiation conductor 16 radiates
- the linear conductor 24, the radiation conductor 16, and the ground conductor 26 are connected in series, and an LC resonance circuit is configured between the terminal conductors 18 and 20. Therefore, the center frequency f of the high-frequency signal transmitted through the antenna 10a is determined by the capacitances C1 and C2 and the inductances L1 and L2 of the linear conductor 24 and the radiating conductor 16, as described above.
- the capacitances C1 and C2 and the inductances L1 and L2 can be adjusted by adjusting the shapes (line width, length, etc.) of the linear conductor 24 and the radiation conductor 16. That is, in the antenna 10a, impedance matching can be obtained by adjusting any one of a plurality of design elements.
- the connector 540 needs to be accurately connected to the stub 526 so that the length of the stub 526 becomes a desired length. That is, in the antenna 520, impedance matching must be performed only by the length of the stub 526. As described above, the antenna 10a has a higher degree of design freedom than the antenna 520. Further, by changing the line width and line length of the linear conductor 24 and the presence / absence of a slit portion in the length direction, the capacitance C1 and the inductance L1 are made into a multistage LC resonance circuit, and the radiation frequency is wide. An LC resonance circuit can also be configured.
- the antenna 520 shown in FIG. 18 constitutes a short-end dipole antenna. That is, in the antenna 520, the via-hole conductor 530 extends from the stub 526 to the upper side, and the transmitting electrode 506 that extends in the horizontal direction at the tip of the via-hole conductor 530 is provided. Therefore, the height of the antenna 520 is increased by the amount of the via-hole conductor 530.
- the antenna 10a an electric field is only radiated from the radiation conductor 16 provided in the LC resonance circuit. Therefore, unlike the antenna 520, the antenna 10a does not need to be configured as a short-circuited dipole antenna. As a result, the antenna 10a can be reduced in height.
- the radiation conductor 16 can radiate a stronger electric field, as will be described below. More specifically, when the radiating conductor 16 is close to the ground conductor 26, most of the electric field radiated from the radiating conductor 16 radiates toward the ground conductor 26 (that is, the negative direction side in the z-axis direction). And consumed by the ground conductor 26. Therefore, a strong electric field is not easily radiated from the radiation conductor 16 to the positive direction side in the z-axis direction.
- the distance d2 in the z-axis direction between the radiation conductor 16 and the ground conductor 26 is set larger than the distance d1 in the z-axis direction between the linear conductor 24 and the ground conductor 26.
- the radiation conductor 16 is separated from the ground conductor 26.
- most of the electric field radiated from the radiation conductor 16 is radiated to the positive direction side in the z-axis direction. That is, in the antenna 10a, the radiation conductor 16 can radiate a stronger electric field.
- ground conductor 26 and the linear conductor 24 constitute a microstrip line, thereby matching the characteristic impedance (input impedance and output impedance) of the linear conductor 24 with the characteristic impedance of the radiating conductor 16 and other components. It becomes easy.
- the transmission characteristics of high-frequency signals are unlikely to deteriorate.
- the antennas 520 and 550 when the distance between the transmission electrode 506 and the reception electrode 516 reaches a predetermined distance (for example, 3 cm), the transmission electrode 506 and the reception electrode 516 are spaced apart from each other. A predetermined capacity is generated, and the input impedance of the antenna 520 is designed to match (that is, impedance matching) with the output impedance (for example, 50 ⁇ ) of the transmission circuit unit 502.
- impedance matching with the transmission circuit unit 502 or the reception circuit unit 512 is performed by an LC resonance circuit including the linear conductor 24, the ground conductor 26, and the radiation conductor 16.
- the impedance of the LC resonance circuit does not depend on the capacitance C2. That is, the impedance is substantially determined by the inductance L1 of the linear conductor 24, the inductance L2 of the radiation conductor 16, and the capacitance C2 between the linear conductor 24 and the ground conductor 26.
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the antenna 10b according to the first modification.
- the antenna 10b is different from the antenna 10a in that it has a meandering linear conductor 24 '. Since the other points of the antenna 10b are the same as the antenna 10a, description thereof is omitted.
- the inductance L1 of the linear conductor 24' can be increased. That is, in the antenna 10b, the adjustment range of the inductance L1 can be increased. Thereby, adjustment of the resonance frequency of the antenna 10b, impedance matching with the transmission circuit unit 502 or the reception circuit unit 512, and the like can be easily performed.
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an antenna 10c according to a second modification.
- the antenna 10 c is different from the antenna 10 a in that it further includes a linear conductor 24 a in addition to the linear conductor 24. Since the other points of the antenna 10c are the same as the antenna 10a, description thereof is omitted.
- the linear conductor 24 a is connected in parallel to the linear conductor 24.
- a plurality of linear conductors 24 and 24a connected in parallel may be provided.
- double resonance can be achieved, and for example, a wide band of 4.48 GHz ⁇ 200 MHz can be achieved.
- the line widths of the linear conductors 24 and 24a may be the same or different.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an antenna 10d according to a third modification.
- FIG. 7 is an equivalent circuit diagram of the antenna 10d of FIG.
- the via-hole conductor b1 is provided at a position closer to the center of the radiation conductor 16 than the antenna 10a. Since the other points of the antenna 10d are the same as those of the antenna 10a, description thereof is omitted.
- the radiation conductor 16 and the ground conductor 26 are connected to each other at a position closer to the center of the radiation conductor 16 by the via-hole conductor b1 than the antenna 10a. Therefore, the via-hole conductor b1 is provided at a position farther from the side on the positive direction side in the x-axis direction of the radiation conductor 16 in the antenna 10d than in the antenna 10a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the distal end portion 60 is formed in the radiation conductor 16. As a result, the front end portion 60 of the radiation conductor 16 functions as an open stub, and the gain is improved.
- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an antenna 10e according to a fourth modification.
- FIG. 9 is an equivalent circuit diagram of the antenna 10e of FIG.
- the antenna 10e is different from the antenna 10a in that the connection conductor 22 'has a meander shape.
- the antenna 10e is also different from the antenna 10a in that the end of the connecting conductor 22 ′ on the negative side in the x-axis direction and the ground conductor 26 are connected by a via-hole conductor b30. Since the other points of the antenna 10e are the same as those of the antenna 10a, description thereof is omitted.
- connection conductor 22 ′ has a meander shape, and thus functions as an inductive line. Further, since the via-hole conductor b30 is provided, as shown in FIG. 9, the radiation conductor 16 and the ground conductor 26 are connected by a two-branched line. Thereby, the gain can be controlled.
- the via hole conductor b30 may not be provided.
- FIG. 10 is a perspective view of an antenna 10f according to a fifth modification.
- the antenna 10f is different from the antenna 10a in that it includes a ground conductor 26 'provided with an opening O. Since the other points of the antenna 10f are the same as the antenna 10a, description thereof is omitted.
- the ground conductor 26 ′ has an opening O in which no conductor is provided in a portion overlapping the radiation conductor 16 when viewed in plan from the z-axis direction. Thereby, the radiation conductor 16 does not overlap with the ground conductor 26 'when viewed in plan from the z-axis direction (the normal direction of the radiation conductor 16). Thereby, almost no electric field is consumed by the ground conductor 26 '. Therefore, in the antenna 10f, the radiation conductor 16 can radiate a stronger electric field than the antenna 10a.
- the capacitance C2 generated between them is substantially zero. That is, the capacity of the antenna 10f is reduced. That is, when viewed from the input port, the input impedance of the antenna 10f looks substantially like an inductance, and when viewed from the antenna 10f, the output impedance of the input port looks like 50 ⁇ . By taking this part of impedance matching, the reflection characteristic of the input impedance is deepened, and the reflection characteristic is wideband. Therefore, if the capacity of the antenna 10f is reduced, it is possible to increase the bandwidth of the antenna 10f.
