Subminiature internal antenna
Disclosed herein is a subminiature internal antenna, which exhibits a multi-band characteristic. The internal antenna includes a radiator electrically coupled at one end thereof to a feed element of a communication device and formed in a spiral shape as a whole. The radiator is disposed in such a manner as to extend at the other end thereof outwardly from the spiral shape. According to the present invention, the electromagnetic coupling is achieved in the radiator of the internal antenna and the other end of the radiator is disposed outwardly from the spiral shape so that the radiation interference is reduced to thereby obtain the multi-band characteristic.
1. An internal antenna including a radiator made of an electrically conductive material, wherein the radiator comprises:
a feeding section electrically coupled to a feed element of a communication device;
a first conductor connected to the feeding section, the first conductor having an open-loop shape;
a second conductor connected to the first conductor and disposed at the inside of the first conductor, the second conductor being bent at least one times; and
a third conductor connected to the second conductor and extending outwardly from the first conductor.
2. The internal antenna as defined in claim 1 , wherein the radiator further comprises a ground section electrically coupled to a ground plane of the communication device.
3. The internal antenna as defined in claim 1 , wherein the radiator is formed on a printed circuit board.
4. A wireless communication device having an internal antenna including a radiator made of an electrically conductive material, wherein the radiator comprises:
