Abstract

An antenna apparatus that includes a first antenna having a first feed point, a second antenna having a second feed point, and a first non-feed element grounded at a first ground point disposed at a first predetermined distance from the first feed point and the second feed point.

Claims (44)

1. An antenna apparatus comprising:

an approximately rectangular board;

a first antenna disposed in proximity a first edge of the board and having a first feed point;

a second antenna disposed in proximity to a second edge of the board, which is opposite to the first edge of the board and having a second feed point; and

a non-feed element grounded at a ground point disposed in proximity to the second feed point, the non-feed element including

a first portion including a first end connected to the ground point and extending in parallel along a third edge of the board; and

a second portion having a length substantially similar to the first portion and extending in parallel with the first portion, the second portion including a first end connected to a second end of the first portion and a second end located closer to the second feed point than the first feed point.

2. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the first feed point is located in proximity to a fourth edge of the board and the second feed point is located in proximity to the third edge of the board.

3. The antenna apparatus of claim 2 , wherein

the third edge of the board opposes the fourth edge of the board.

4. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the length of the first and second portions of the non-feed element is approximately 55 mm.

5. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the ground point is located approximately 27 mm from a center of the non-feed element.

6. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the ground point is located approximately 37 mm from a center of the non-feed element.

7. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second non-feed element grounded at a second ground point disposed in proximity to the first second feed point.

8. The antenna apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the second non-feed element comprises:

a first portion including a first end connected to the second ground point and extending in parallel along a fourth edge of the board; and

a second portion having a length substantially similar to the first portion and extending in parallel with the first portion, the second portion including a first end connected to a second end of the first portion and a second end located closer to the first feed point than the second feed point.

9. An antenna apparatus comprising:

an approximately rectangular board;

a first antenna disposed in proximity a first edge of the board and having a first feed point;

a second antenna disposed in proximity to a second edge of the board, which is opposite to the first edge of the board and having a second feed point; and

a non-feed element grounded at a ground point disposed in proximity to the first feed point, the non-feed element including

a first portion including a first end connected to the ground point and extending in parallel along a third edge of the board; and

a second portion having a length substantially similar to the first portion and extending in parallel with the first portion, the second portion including a first end connected to a second end of the first portion and a second end located closer to the first feed point than the second feed point.

10. The antenna apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the first feed point is located in proximity to the third edge of the board and the second feed point is located in proximity to a fourth edge of the board.

11. The antenna apparatus of claim 10 , wherein

the third edge of the board opposes the fourth edge of the board.

12. The antenna apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the length of the first and second portions of the non-feed element is approximately 55 mm.

13. The antenna apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the ground point is located approximately 27 mm from a center of the non-feed element.

14. The antenna apparatus of claim 9 , wherein

the ground point is located approximately 37 mm from a center of the non-feed element.

15. The antenna apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

a second non-feed element grounded at a second ground point disposed in proximity to the second feed point.

16. The antenna apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the second non-feed element comprises:

a first portion including a first end connected to the second ground point and extending in parallel along a fourth edge of the board; and

a second portion having a length substantially similar to the first portion and extending in parallel with the first portion, the second portion including a first end connected to a second end of the first portion and a second end located closer to the second feed point than the first feed point.
