Abstract

A broadband antenna for wireless signal transmission of an electronic device comprises a base board, a radiating element, a grounding element, a shorting element, and a feeding point. The radiating element, the grounding element, and the shorting element are disposed on the base board. The radiating element comprises a first slot and a second slot. The second slot is connected to the first slot substantially. The first slot and the second slot are used to adjust the operating band of the broadband antenna. The grounding element is used to ground the broadband antenna. The shorting element is used to connect the radiating element and the grounding element. The feeding point is disposed between an edge of the base board and the shorting element, and the horizontal extended range of the first slot does not exceed the position of the feeding point.

Claims (23)

1. A broadband antenna comprising:

a base board;

a radiating element disposed on the base board; the radiating element comprises a first slot and a second slot, the second slot being connected to the first slot substantially, wherein the first slot and the second slot are used for adjusting the operating frequency band of the broadband antenna;

a grounding element disposed on the base board and used for grounding the broadband antenna;

a shorting element disposed on the base board and used for connecting the radiating element and the grounding element;

a third slot disposed between the radiating element, the grounding element, and the shorting element, wherein the third slot does not connect to the first slot and the second slot; and

a feeding point used for feeding an electric signal, wherein the feeding point is disposed on the third slot and between one edge of the base board and the shorting element, and a horizontal extended range of the first slot does not exceed the position of the feeding point.

2. The broadband antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second slot is disposed at the center of the first slot substantially.

3. The broadband antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the length from the feeding point to the edge of the base board is shorter than the length from the feeding point to the shorting element.

4. The broadband antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the broadband antenna is a plane structure.

5. The broadband antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radiating element, the grounding element, and the shorting element are printed on the base board or produced as a separate piece of electrically conductive material and attached to the base board.

6. An electronic device having a broadband antenna and capable of wireless transmissions comprising:

a wireless signal module; and a broadband antenna electrically connected to the wireless signal module, the broadband antenna comprising:

a base board;

a radiating element disposed on the base board; the radiating element comprises a first slot and a second slot, the second slot being connected to the first slot substantially, wherein the first slot and the second slot are used for adjusting the operation frequency band of the broadband antenna;

a grounding element disposed on the base board and used for grounding the broadband antenna;

a shorting element disposed on the base board and used for connecting the radiating element and the grounding element;

a third slot disposed between the radiating element, the grounding element, and the shorting element, wherein the third slot does not connect to the first slot and the second slot; and

a feeding point used for feeding an electric signal, wherein the feeding point is disposed on the third slot and between an edge of the base board and the shorting element, and a horizontal extended range of the first slot does not exceed the position of the feeding point.

7. The electronic device having a broadband antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second slot is disposed substantially at the center of the first slot.

8. The electronic device having a broadband antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the length from the feeding point to the edge of the base board is shorter than the length from the feeding point to the shorting element.

9. The electronic device having a broadband antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the broadband antenna is a plane structure.

10. The electronic device having a broadband antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the radiating element, the grounding element, and the shorting element are printed on the base board or produced as a separate piece of electrically conductive material and attached to the base board.
