摘要:
A small volume antenna (100) has the form of a polygonal (e.g., square) board with multiple antenna elements (104, 110) located at vertices (114, 116) (e.g., opposite vertices). The antenna elements (104, 110) include two segments (118, 120, 124, 126) that meet at corners (122, 128) that are located at the vertices (114, 116). Peripheral portions (134, 136, 138, 140) of a ground plane (132) that underlie the segments (118, 120, 124, 126) of the antenna elements are deleted, and slots (154, 162) that have two joined segments (156, 158, 164, 166) that parallel the segments (118, 120, 124, 126) of the antenna elements (104, 110) are formed in the antenna elements. The antenna elements (104, 110) are selectively loaded by switched impedance (e.g., capacitance) networks (172, 176, 178, 180, 182, 186, 190, 192). The antenna (100) is able to support operation in at least two broad operating bands.

摘要:
To address the above-mentioned need an antenna (100) is provided having a conductive-strip radiating element (102) supported above a substrate (206) via three legs (201-203). The point where the substrate contacts the three legs form two antenna ports and a ground utilized for feeding the RF signal, tuning the antenna, and grounding. More particularly, a first leg (201) of the radiating element is used solely as a tuning port, while a second leg (202) is grounded, and a third leg (203) is utilized solely as a feed port. The tuning port is substantially maximally distal to the feed port on the substrate. Reactive loads are provided at the tuning port to effectively tune the central operating frequency of the antenna.

Antenna systems (200, 1300, 1500, 1900, 2000, 2400) comprise a dielectric resonator antenna (210) in the shape of a parallelepiped with right angle corners. The thickness (T) of the dielectric resonator antenna (210) is chosen to be less than the length and height. The antenna systems (200, 1300, 1500, 1900, 2000, 2400) provide have broad band response that is attributed to two or more resonant modes that have center frequencies that are closely spaced in frequency relative to their bandwidths. Additional pass bands can be obtained by placing a conductive strip (1302) along an edge of the dielectric resonator 210. The passband associated with the conductive strip (1302) can be lowered in frequency by capacitively loading the conductive strip (1302). An additional passband can also be obtained by coupling a metal ribbon (2012) to a feed in microstrip (206, 2002) and to the dielectric resonator antenna (210).

In one arrangement, the radiator element (105) can be split into a plurality of radiator branches (120, 125) in at least one of the first portion (110) and the second portion (115) of the radiator element (105).
