Abstract

An integrated antenna for mobile communications. A short-circuiting metal cylinder is provided in the antenna for arranging other functional modules such that the antenna and related circuits may have better integration. The provided antenna includes a ground with a via-hole; a radiating member arranged on the ground and having a feeding portion for receiving signals via electrical connection through the via-hole; and a short-circuiting member having a space, a first end of which is electrically connected to the ground substantially vertically, and the other end of which is electrically connected to the radiating member. The radiating member further includes a first sub-radiating member, a second sub-radiating member and a third sub-radiating member. The first sub-radiating member is substantially triangular, and the second sub-radiating portion is substantially parallel to the ground. The third sub-radiating member is substantially parallel to the first sub-radiating member.

Claims (19)

1. An integrated mobile communication antenna, comprising:

a ground having a via-hole;

a radiating member located above the ground having a feeding portion to electrically connect to a signal source through the via-hole to receive a signal, and having a housing opening; and

a short-circuiting member having a space and a lower opening on a first end, said short-circuiting member being substantially vertical to the ground and electrically connected to the ground, and a second end of said short-circuiting member being electrically connected to the radiating member, and the second end of the short-circuiting member having an upper opening corresponding to the housing opening of the radiating member with the same size and shape so that a functional module can be fully exposed;

wherein the space houses a functional module which is integrated with the antenna.

2. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 1 , wherein the ground is substantially rectangular.

3. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 1 , wherein the radiating member further includes:

a first sub-radiating member formed substantially in triangular having a top point and a bottom edge opposing the top point, the feeding portion being located on the top point;

a second sub-radiating member substantially in parallel with the ground having a first edge and a second edge that oppose each other, the first edge being electrically connected to the bottom edge; and

a third sub-radiating member substantially in parallel with the first sub-radiating member having a third edge electrically connected to the second edge.

4. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 3 , wherein the first sub-radiating member, the second sub-radiating member and the third sub-radiating member are formed of a metal sheet by bending.

5. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 3 , wherein the first sub-radiating member, the second sub-radiating member and the third sub-radiating member are formed of at least two independent metal sheets.

6. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 3 , wherein the first sub-radiating member and the second sub-radiating member are electrically connected through an arched bending.

7. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 3 , wherein the second sub-radiating member and the third sub-radiating member are electrically connected through an arched bending.

8. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 1 , wherein the short-circuiting member has an upper opening on the second end connecting to the radiating member.

9. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 8 , wherein the radiating member has an opening formed in a size and a shape mating the upper opening for connecting to the short-circuiting member.

10. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 1 , wherein the short-circuiting member is formed in a shape selected from the group consisting of a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle and a polygon.

11. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 1 , wherein the feeding portion further includes a feeding member which runs though the via-hole to receive the signal from the signal source.

12. The integrated mobile communication antenna of claim 1 , wherein the lower opening and the upper opening of the short-circuiting member are the same size and shape.
