DUAL EMBEDDED ANTENNA FOR AN RF DATA COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE

摘要

An RF antenna system is disclosed having at least one meandering antenna lin e with an aggregate structure formed to substantially extend in two dimensions , to effectively form a dipole antenna. The meandering antenna line includes a t least one localized bend for providing a compressed effective antenna length in a compact package. The present antenna can be made as an antenna system having discrete transmit and receive antenna lines, so as to form a dual antenna system. The localized bends on each line electromagnetically couple with the respective bends on the other line, thus increasing electromagnetic coupling efficiency, thereby increasing antenna bandwidth and gain.
