- the first parasitic element 12 is interposed between the radiating element of the first loop antenna 11 and the radiating element of the second loop antenna 13. For this reason, even if the inner peripheral side and / or the outer peripheral side of the radiating element of the first loop antenna 11 are deformed in order to adjust the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna 11, the effect is affected by the second loop antenna. There is no concern over 13 resonance frequencies. Similarly, even if the outer peripheral side of the radiating element of the second loop antenna 13 is deformed in order to adjust the resonance frequency of the second loop antenna 13, the influence reaches the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna 11. There is no concern. Therefore, the integrated antenna 1 has a manufacturing merit that the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna 11 and the resonance frequency of the second loop antenna 13 can be adjusted independently of each other.

- the variation of the current path formed on the first loop antenna is increased by providing the two short-circuit portions.
- the bandwidth of the operating band of the first loop antenna the band that is equal to or lower than the VSRW value and a predetermined threshold.
- the integrated antenna according to the present embodiment is a second parasitic element disposed outside the second annular radiating element, and at least a part of the inner periphery of the integrated antenna is an outer periphery of the second annular radiating element. It is preferable to further include a second parasitic element facing at least a part.
- the second loop antenna can function as an antenna suitable for receiving circularly polarized waves such as GPS by the action of the second parasitic element.
- an integrated antenna that is smaller than the conventional antenna can be realized without deteriorating the characteristics of each loop antenna.
- the integrated antenna manufacturing method includes a step of deforming the first annular radiating element in order to adjust the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna.
- the first parasitic element is interposed between the second annular radiating element and the first annular radiating element. Therefore, even if the step of deforming the first annular radiating element to adjust the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna is performed, the resonance frequency of the second loop antenna hardly fluctuates. Therefore, according to the above configuration, the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna and the resonance frequency of the second loop antenna can be adjusted independently (that is, easily).
- the integrated antenna manufacturing method includes a step of deforming the inner peripheral side of the first annular radiating element in order to adjust the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna.
- the second loop antenna can be used even if the step of changing the shape of the inner peripheral side of the first annular radiating element is performed in order to adjust the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna.
- the resonance frequency of the filter hardly fluctuates. Therefore, according to the above configuration, the resonance frequency of the first loop antenna can be adjusted independently (that is, easily) from the second loop antenna.
- the present invention can be widely applied to integrated antennas that operate in two or more different bands.
- it can be suitably used as an in-vehicle antenna mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile.

Abstract
Description
本実施形態に係る統合アンテナ1の構成について、図1を参照して説明する。図1は、統合アンテナ1の構成を示す平面図である。
次に、発明者らがシミュレーションにより明らかにした統合アンテナ1の特性について、図2~図3を参照して説明する。
上述したように、第1のループアンテナ11は、SDARS帯を動作帯域とし、かつ、この性質は、第2のループアンテナ13と統合してもなお損なわれない。また、第2のループアンテナ13は、GPS帯を動作帯域とし、かつ、この性質は、第1のループアンテナ11と統合してもなお損なわれない。
第1のループアンテナ11における縦電流と横電流との位相差が調整されることなどが考えられる。
統合アンテナ1においては、第1のループアンテナ11の放射素子と第2のループアンテナ13の放射素子との間に第1の無給電素子12が介在している。このため、第1のループアンテナ11の共振周波数を調整するために、第1のループアンテナ11の放射素子の内周側及び/又は外周側を変形しても、その影響が第2のループアンテナ13の共振周波数に及ぶ懸念がない。同様に、第2のループアンテナ13の共振周波数を調整するために、第2のループアンテナ13の放射素子の外周側を変形しても、その影響が第1のループアンテナ11の共振周波数に及ぶ懸念がない。したがって、統合アンテナ1には、第1のループアンテナ11の共振周波数と第2のループアンテナ13の共振周波数とを互いに独立に調整することができるという、製造上のメリットがある。以下、この点について、図7を参照して確認する。
統合アンテナ1は、車載用のアンテナ装置への搭載に好適である。このようなアンテナ装置2について、図9を参照して説明する。図9は、このようなアンテナ装置2の概略構成を示す斜視図である。
上述した実施形態においては、第1の無給電素子12を第1の環状放射素子11aの外側(第2の環状放射素子13との間)に配置する構成を示したが、本発明は、これに限定されない。すなわち、第1の無給電素子12を第1の環状放射素子11aの内側に配置する構成も可能である。
以上のように、本実施形態に係る統合アンテナは、第1の環状放射素子を有する第1のループアンテナと、第2の環状放射素子を有する第2のループアンテナであって、共振周波数が上記第1のループアンテナの共振周波数よりも低い第2のループアンテナと、を備えており、上記第2の環状放射素子は、上記第1の環状放射素子を取り囲むように、上記第1の環状放射素子と同一面上に配置されている、ことを特徴とする。
以上、本発明に係る実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、請求項に示した範囲で種々の変更が可能である。すなわち、請求項に示した範囲で適宜変更した技術的手段を組み合わせて得られる実施形態についても本発明の技術的範囲に含まれる。
