ANTENNA AND RF TERMINAL INCORPORATING THE ANTENNA

摘要

A dipole antenna (102) comprises a first section (103) which includes a first input port (107) and a folded configuration (115, 119, 123) and a second section (105) which includes a second input port (109) and a folded configuration (117, 121, 125) and is characterised by a reactive coupling (131, 133) between the first section and the second section. The reactive coupling may conveniently comprise a capacitive coupling formed between a conducting strip portion (131) of the first section and an adjacent conducting strip portion (133) of the second section. The antenna may be formed on a face of an insulating substrate 101.
