Abstract

An unsymmetrical dipole antenna includes a grounding element, a radiating element, and a feed-in wire. The grounding element includes a first short side metal plane and a first long side metal plane. The radiating element includes a second short side metal plane and a second long side metal plane. The feed-in wire includes a metal wire, coupled to the second short side metal plane for transmitting a feed-in signal; an insulation layer, covering the metal wire; a metal weave, covering the insulation layer, having one terminal coupled to the first short side metal plane of the grounding element, and another terminal coupled to a system ground of the wireless communication device; and a protective layer, covering the metal weave. A size of the grounding element and a size of the radiating element are irrelative.

Claims (25)

1. An unsymmetrical dipole antenna for a wireless communication device, comprising:

a feed terminal;

a ground terminal;

a grounding element, comprising:

a first short side metal plane, directly coupled to the ground terminal and extending from the ground terminal toward a first direction; and

a first long side metal plane, coupled to the first short side metal plane, and extending from a first connection point with the first short side metal plane toward a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction;

a radiating element, comprising:

a second short side metal plane, directly coupled to the feed terminal, separating from the first short side metal plane by a first distance, and extending from the feed terminal toward an opposite direction of the first direction; and

a second long side metal plane, coupled to the second short side metal plane, and extending from a second connection point with the second short side metal plane toward the second direction; and

a feed-in wire, comprising:

a metal wire, coupled to the second short side metal plane of the radiating element via the feed terminal, for transmitting a feed-in signal;

an insulation layer, covering the metal wire;

a metal weave, covering the insulation layer, having one terminal coupled to the first short side metal plane of the grounding element via the ground terminal and another terminal coupled to a system ground of the wireless communication device; and

a protective layer, covering the metal weave;

wherein the grounding element and the radiating element form an unsymmetrical dipole structure;

wherein a length of the first short side metal plane and a length of the second short side metal plane are unequal, and a length of the first long side metal plane and a length of the second long side metal plane are unequal;

wherein a total length of the first short side metal plane and the first long side metal plane and a total length of the second short side metal plane and the second long side metal plane are unequal.

2. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 1 , wherein a total length of the second short side metal plane and the second long side metal plane is substantially equal to a quarter of a wavelength of the feed-in signal.

3. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 1 , wherein the second long side metal plane comprises a plurality of bends, for reducing a projection area of the second long side metal plane corresponding to an expanded plane, and the plurality of bends form at least one geometric shape.

4. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 3 , wherein a geometric shape of the at least one geometric shape substantially conforms to Π.

5. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 3 , wherein a geometric shape of the at least one geometric shape substantially conforms to L.

6. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 3 , wherein a geometric shape of the at least one geometric shape substantially conforms to an arc.

7. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 1 , wherein the radiating element further comprises a third long side metal plane, coupled to the second short side metal plane, and extending toward the second direction.

8. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 1 , wherein the second long side metal plane separates from the first long side metal plane by a second distance greater than the first distance.

9. The unsymmetrical dipole antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first long side metal plane comprises at least one bend, for reducing a projection area of the first long side metal plane corresponding to an expanded plane.
