Abstract

A solid antenna configured above a substrate includes a short portion, a feeding portion and a radiating portion including four radiators connected one-by-one. A first radiator includes a first upper section on a first plane, a first lower section on a second plane, and a first connection section connecting the first upper section to the first lower section. The second radiator includes a second upper section on the first plane, and a second connection portion connecting the second upper section to the first lower section. The third radiator includes a third upper section and a fourth upper section on the first plane, a second lower section on the second plane, a third connection section connecting the third upper section to the second lower section, and a fourth connection section connecting the second lower section to the fourth upper section. The fourth radiator extends towards the substrate.

Claims (17)

1. A solid antenna configured above a substrate, the solid antenna comprising:

a short portion fixed to the substrate;

a feeding portion fixed to the substrate to feed electromagnetic signals; and

a radiating portion for radiating the electromagnetic signals, the radiating portion comprising:

a first radiator comprising a first upper section on a first plane, a first lower section on a second plane, and a first connection section connecting the first upper section to the first lower section, wherein the second plane is defined between the first plane and the substrate, and the first upper section is electrically connected to and supported by the feeding portion and the short portion;

a second radiator comprising a second upper section on the first plane, and a second connection portion connecting the second upper section to the first lower section;

a third radiator comprising a third upper section and a fourth upper section on the first plane, a second lower section on the second plane, a third connection section, and a fourth connection section, wherein the third connection section connects the third upper section to the second lower section, and the fourth connection section connects the second lower section to the fourth upper section; and

a fourth radiator connecting to the fourth upper section and extending towards the substrate.

2. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second radiator further comprises a first open end, perpendicularly connected to the second upper section, and extending towards the substrate.

3. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first connection section, the second connection section, the third connection section, the fourth connection section, and the first open end are in parallel with each other, and perpendicular to the substrate.

4. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fourth radiator is L-shaped, and comprises a second open end extending towards the first open end.

5. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feeding portion and the short portion are elongated, and parallel to the fourth radiator.

6. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the short portion connects to one end of the first upper section far away from the first lower section, and the feeding portion connects to a middle part of the first upper section.

7. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first upper section is in a rectangular shape, and defines a first slot to tune operating frequency of the solid antenna by adjusting the dimensions of the first slot.

8. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third upper section connects to the second upper section, which collectively form an L shape, and the L shape structure makes the third radiator and the first radiator define a second slot therebetween.

9. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fourth upper section is L-shaped to make the third radiator and the fourth radiator define a third slot therebetween.

10. The solid antenna as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a grounding portion covering the substrate, wherein the short potion electrically connects to the grounding portion.
