Abstract

A film antenna whose antenna characteristics are unaffected by chassis is provided. A recessed groove portion 26 is formed in a ground portion 13 which is attached to a chassis 18 . A first radiating element portion 14 is formed from a wall 26 a on one side of the groove portion 26 to a wall 26 b on the other side. A capacitive coupling piece portion 27 which is capacitively coupled via a specified gap g to the first radiating element portion 14 is formed on the wall 26 b on the other side to thereby allow antenna characteristics to be unaffected by the chassis 18.

Claims (46)

1. A film antenna, comprising:

a radiating element portion for constituting a monopole antenna;

a ground portion for being formed to cover a part or whole of said radiating element portion and attached to a chassis; and

a capacitive coupling piece portion integrally formed in said ground portion to be capacitively coupled via a specified gap to said radiating element portion, said capacitive coupling piece portion extending from said ground portion towards said radiating element portion.

2. The film antenna according to claim 1 , wherein, on both sides of said ground portion, there are formed a boss hole which engages a boss formed in said chassis, and an attachment hole for screw-fastening to said chassis.

3. A film antenna comprising:

a radiating element portion for constituting a monopole antenna;

a ground portion for being formed to cover a part or whole of said radiating element portion and attached to a chassis; and

a capacitive coupling piece portion for being formed in said ground portion to be capacitively coupled to said radiating element portion,

wherein:

a recessed groove portion is formed in said ground portion;

a first radiating element portion is formed from a wall on one side of said groove portion to a wall on the other side;

a capacitive coupling piece portion which is capacitively coupled via a specified gap to said first radiating element portion is formed on said wall on the other side;

a reversed-L-shaped second radiating element portion which is shorter than said first radiating element portion is formed on the groove portion side of a base portion of said first radiating element portion;

a power feed portion is formed in a base portion of said second radiating element portion; and

a ground connection piece is formed in said groove portion of said ground portion opposite said power feed portion.

4. A film antenna comprising:

a radiating element portion for constituting a monopole antenna;

a ground portion for being formed to cover a part or whole of said radiating element portion and attached to a chassis; and

a capacitive coupling piece portion for being formed in said ground portion to be capacitively coupled to said radiating element portion,

wherein:

on both sides of said ground portion, there are formed a boss hole which engages a boss formed in said chassis, and an attachment hole for screw-fastening to said chassis,

a recessed groove portion is formed in said ground portion;

a first radiating element portion is formed from a wall on one side of said groove portion to a wall on the other side;

a capacitive coupling piece portion which is capacitively coupled via a specified gap to said first radiating element portion is formed on said wall on the other side;

a reversed-L-shaped second radiating element portion which is shorter than said first radiating element portion is formed on the groove portion side of a base portion of said first radiating element portion;

a power feed portion is formed in a base portion of said second radiating element portion; and

a ground connection piece is formed in said groove portion of said ground portion opposite said power feed portion.

5. The film antenna according to claim 3 , wherein:

a loop groove is formed in a rearward groove portion between said power feed portion and said ground connection piece; and

a second loop radiating element portion is formed around said loop groove.

6. The film antenna according to claim 4 , wherein:

a loop groove is formed in a rearward groove portion between said power feed portion and said ground connection piece; and

a second loop radiating element portion is formed around said loop groove.

7. The film antenna according to claim 1 , wherein

said radiating element portion and said ground portion are formed by laminating both sides of a conductor plate with films of polyimide resin, or the like, followed by the die-cutting of the laminated conductor plate with a press.

8. The film antenna according to claim 2 , wherein

said radiating element portion and said ground portion are formed by laminating both sides of a conductor plate with films of polyimide resin, or the like, followed by the die-cutting of the laminated conductor plate with a press.

9. The film antenna according to claim 3 , wherein said radiating element portion and said ground portion are formed by laminating both sides of a conductor plate with films of polyimide resin, or the like, followed by the die-cutting of the laminated conductor plate with a press.

10. The film antenna according to claim 4 , wherein said radiating element portion and said ground portion are formed by laminating both sides of a conductor plate with films of polyimide resin, or the like, followed by the die-cutting of the laminated conductor plate with a press.

11. The film antenna according to claim 5 , wherein said radiating element portion and said ground portion are formed by laminating both sides of a conductor plate with films of polyimide resin, or the like, followed by the die-cutting of the laminated conductor plate with a press.

12. The film antenna according to claim 6 , wherein said radiating element portion and said ground portion are formed by laminating both sides of a conductor plate with films of polyimide resin, or the like, followed by the die-cutting of the laminated conductor plate with a press.

13. The film antenna according to claim 1 , wherein:

a recessed groove portion is formed in said ground portion, and

said capacitive coupling piece portion is formed above said recessed groove portion.

14. The film antenna according to claim 13 , wherein the capacitive coupling piece portion extends away from said ground portion in a direction towards said radiating element portion.
