Surface mount device multiple-band antenna module
View Patent ↗A surface mount device multiple-band antenna module includes a substrate and a carrier. The substrate has a first grounding metal surface and a first micro-strip line on a side thereof. The first grounding metal surface has a second micro-strip line connected thereto. There is a space between the first micro-strip line and the second micro-strip line. The substrate has a second grounding metal surface on the other side thereof. The carrier is made of ceramic material with high dielectric constant, which has a first radiative metal portion, a second radiative metal portion and a third radiative metal portion. The carrier is electrically connected with the substrate. The joint of the first radiative metal portion and the second radiative metal portion is electrically connected to the first micro-strip line. The third radiative metal portion is electrically connected to the second micro-strip line. Thus, the multiple-band antenna module is obtained.
