Multiple-band antenna with patch and slot structures

摘要

A multiple-band antenna having first and second operating frequency bands is provided. The antenna includes a first patch structure associated primarily with the first operating frequency band, a second patch structure electrically coupled to the first patch structure and associated primarily with the second operating frequency band, a first slot structure disposed between a first portion of the first patch structure and the second patch structure and associated primarily with the first operating frequency band, and a second slot structure disposed between a second portion of the first patch structure and the second patch structure and associated primarily with the second operating frequency band. A mounting structure for the multiple-band antenna is also provided. The mounting structure includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to and overlapping the first surface.

1. An antenna assembly comprising:
a rigid dielectric support structure having a smooth mounting surface and at least one mounting pin extending outwardly therefrom; and an electrically conductive layer on the smooth mounting surface defining an antenna and comprising a first patch comprising spaced apart first and second end portions with an adjoining portion therebetween to define a C-shape, and a second patch electrically coupled to said first patch at the adjoining portion to define a first slot between said first end portion of said first patch and said second patch, and a second slot between said second end portion of said first patch and said second patch.
