Abstract

A flat-plate antenna includes a conductive flat-plate, a slit portion formed through the conductive flat-plate with width proportional to frequency band width, a radiating element portion disposed one side of the slit portion, a ground portion disposed other side of the slit portion, and a power supply line having a first conductor connected to the radiating element and a second conductor connected to the ground portion.

Claims (16)

1. A flat-plate antenna comprising:

a conductive flat plate having a slit portion with a width proportional to a frequency band width, a radiating element portion disposed on one side of said slit portion, and a ground portion disposed on the other side of said slit portion, the ground portion having a width sufficiently greater than that of the radiating element portion; and

a power supply line having a first conductor directly connected to said radiating element portion and a second conductor directly connected to said ground portion.

2. The flat-plate antenna according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first conductor is directly connected through solder to said radiating element portion and the second conductor is directly connected through solder to said ground portion.

3. The flat-plate antenna according to claim 1 , wherein:

said power supply line is extended along a surface of said conductive flat plate.

4. The flat-plate antenna according to claim 1 , wherein:

said power supply line is a coaxial cable having an inner conductor and an outer conductor, said inner conductor serves as said first conductor and said outer conductor serves as said second conductor.

5. The flat-plate antenna according to claim 1 , wherein:

said power supply line is a flat cable formed by arranging said first conductor and said second conductor on a same plane.

6. A flat-plate antenna comprising:

a conductive flat plate having a slit portion with a width proportional to a frequency band, a radiating element portion disposed on one side of said slit portion, and a ground portion disposed on the other side of said slit portion;

a power supply line having a first conductor directly connected to said radiating element portion and a second conductor directly connected to said ground portion; and

a covering substrate covering at least said conductive flat plate,

wherein said covering substrate includes a first opening for allowing the first conductor to be solder-coupled directly to said radiating element portion, and wherein said covering substrate includes a second opening for allowing the second conductor to be solder-coupled directly to said ground portion.
