Compact antenna system with a diversity order of 2
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a very compact antenna system with a diversity order of 2. An antenna system with a diversity order of 2 integrated on an electronic card comprising a first radiating element of F-inverted type with a first extremity connected to a ground plane, a second extremity free and a conductive power supply part, a second radiating element of F-inverted type with a first extremity connected to a ground plane, a second extremity free and a conductive power supply part, characterized in that the free extremities of the first and second radiating elements are opposite one another and are separated by a projecting element of the ground plane. Application in electronic cards for multi-standard communication devices.
1. An antenna system with a diversity order of 2 integrated on an electronic card comprising on a substrate with a ground plane, said substrate comprising an area without the ground plane, the antenna system comprising:
a first radiating element of F-inverted type with a first extremity connected to said ground plane, a second extremity free and a conductive power supply part,
a second radiating element of F-inverted type with a first extremity connected to said ground plane, a second extremity free and a conductive power supply part, and
an element projecting upward from the substrate and extending from said ground plane into said are without the ground plane, said projecting element separating said first and second radiating elements;
wherein the free extremities of the first and second radiating elements are oriented to point toward one another in said area without the ground plane.
2. The antenna system according to claim 1 , further comprising a first slot in the projecting element of the ground plane.
3. The antenna system according to claim 2 , wherein said first slot has a length of λg/4 where λg is the wavelength in the line at the operating frequency.
4. The antenna system according to claim 1 , further comprising a second slot and a third slot in the ground plane on each side of the first slot.
