Abstract:
An antenna (100) comprises a waveguide (120) formed by a first horizontal conductive layer (121) of a multi-layer circuit board (110), a second horizontal conductive layer (122) of the multi-layer circuit board, and vertical sidewalls formed by conductive vias (123, 124) extending between the first conductive layer (121) and the second conductive layer (122). Further, the antenna (100) of comprises a parallel plate resonator (150) at one end of the waveguide (120). The parallel plate resonator (150) is formed in the multilayer circuit board (110), by a first horizontal conductive plate (151) adjacent to the first conductive layer (121) and a second horizontal conductive plate (152) adjacent to the second conductive layer (122). Further, the antenna (100) comprises at least one conductive via (155) extending from one of the first conductive plate (151) and the second conductive plate (152) towards the other of the first conductive plate (151) and the second conductive plate (151).
Abstract:
A balanced planar antenna having at least one mmWave resonant frequency includes a ground plane, first and second antenna elements, an arm that connects the second antenna element to the ground plane, a feed line connected to the first antenna element and for feeding a radio frequency signal to the first antenna element, and a balun that connects the first antenna element to the ground plane. The ground plane, first antenna element, second antenna element, arm, feed line and balun each are disposed on a substrate and are coplanar.
Abstract:
A wireless electronic device includes dual radiating antennas, with each of the dual radiating antennas including a first radiating element and a second radiating element. The wireless electronic device includes power dividers, a respective one of which is associated with a respective one of the dual radiating antennas and is configured to divide the power of a signal into a first portion of the power and a second portion of the power. The first portion of the power is applied to a respective first radiating element and the second portion of the power is applied to the respective second radiating element. The wireless electronic device is configured to resonate at a resonant frequency corresponding to the first radiating element and/or the second radiating element of at least one of the plurality of dual radiating antennas when excited by a signal transmitted by at least one of the plurality of dual radiating antennas.
