An antenna includes a base, a ground layer printed on the base, a first antenna portion, a second antenna portion, and an isolation slot defined in the grounded layer. The isolation slot is arranged between the first antenna portion and the second antenna portion to reduce the interference between the first antenna portion and the second antenna portion.
1. An antenna comprising:
a base;
a ground layer formed on the base;
a first antenna portion comprising:
a first main body;
a first upright portion perpendicular to the ground layer, the first upright portion comprising a first end coupled to one end of the first main body and a second end electrically connected to the ground layer; and
a second upright portion perpendicular to the ground layer, the second upright portion comprising an upper end connected to the first main body, and a lower end electrically connected to the base, a connection point between the first upright portion and the ground layer serving as a first grounded point, and a connection point between the second upright portion and the base serving as a first feeding point;
a second antenna portion arranged between the first upright portion and the second upright portion, the second antenna portion comprising:
a second main body;
a third upright portion perpendicular to the ground layer, the third upright portion comprising a top end connected to one end of the second main body, and a bottom end electrically connected to the base; and
a fourth upright portion perpendicular to the ground layer, the fourth upright portion comprising a topmost end connected to the second main body, and a lowermost end electrically connected to the ground layer, a connection point between the third upright portion and the base serving as a second feeding point, and a connection point between the forth upright portion and the ground layer serving as a second grounded point; and
an isolation slot being formed in the ground layer between the first antenna portion and the second antenna portion.
2. The antenna as described in claim 1 , wherein the base is a rectangular board, and is made of a dielectric material.
3. The antenna as described in claim 2 , wherein the first main body of the first antenna portion is substantially parallel to the base and is spaced a distance from the base, the first main body comprises three metal strips which cooperatively form a substantially U-shaped structure, two opposite metal strips of the first main body extend along a lengthwise direction of the base, and the remaining strip extends along a widthwise direction of the base.
4. The antenna as described in claim 3 , wherein the length of the first antenna portion is equal to a wavelength of wireless signals transmitted or received by the antenna.
5. The antenna as described in claim 1 , wherein the second main body of the second antenna portion is substantially parallel to the base and is spaced a distance from the base, and the second main body is a strip arranged in a zigzag fashion.
6. The antenna as described in claim 5 , wherein the length of the second antenna portion is equal to half of a wavelength of wireless signals transmitted or received by the antenna.
7. The antenna as described in claim 5 , wherein the isolation slot is a straight slot defined in the ground layer, and extends along the widthwise direction of the base.
