COMPACT BROADBAND ANTENNA

摘要

Broadband multi-resonant antennas utilize capacitive coupling between multiple conductive plates for compact antenna applications. The number and design of conductive plates may be set to achieve the desired bandwidth. In one exemplary embodiment the antenna may be designed for four resonant frequencies and may include three L shaped legs each including a micro-strip conductive plate and connection pin, with configurations approximately parallel to one another. The center L shaped leg may be a feed patch with a feed pin connected to a transmitter, receiver, or transceiver. The upper L shaped leg may be a dual band main patch and ground pin. The dual band main patch may have two different branches with different lengths and areas to handle three of four desired resonant frequencies. The lower L shaped leg may be a parasitic high band patch and ground pin designed to handle one of the two higher desired resonant frequencies.
