Abstract

An antenna for a vehicle is provided which includes a first printed circuit board coupled to an upper part of the base, in which at least one ground feeding point is formed and a second printed circuit board coupled to the first printed circuit board in a vertical direction on the upper part of the first printed circuit board. A monopole antenna is coupled to a first side of the second printed circuit board and a first pattern radiates a coupled signal by being coupled to the ground feeding point electrically on the first side of the second printed circuit board.

Claims (15)

1. An antenna for a vehicle comprising:

a base in which an attaching surface attached to the vehicle is formed;

a first printed circuit board coupled to an upper part of the base, in which at least one ground feeding point is formed;

a second printed circuit board coupled to the first printed circuit board in a vertical direction on the upper part of the first printed circuit board; and

a monopole antenna coupled to a first side of the second printed circuit board,

wherein a first pattern radiates a coupled signal by being coupled to the ground feeding point electrically on the first side of the second printed circuit board, and

wherein a third pattern connected to a signal feeding unit is formed on a second side of the second printed circuit board.

2. The antenna for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a pair of a second patterns connected to a ground feeding unit are formed on the second side of the second printed circuit board, wherein the ground feeding unit is connected respectively to a pair of ground feeding points formed in the first printed circuit board.

3. The antenna for the vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the second pattern and the third pattern are connected respectively.

4. The antenna for the vehicle of claim 3 , wherein the second pattern and the third pattern are formed as a meander type, and as a λ/4 pattern.

5. The antenna for the vehicle of claim 2 , wherein one of the second patterns and the third pattern operate as a radiator in a specific frequency and another second pattern operates for frequency tuning.

6. The antenna for the vehicle of claim 5 , wherein the first pattern includes:

a first ground feeding unit connected to the ground feeding point in which a coupling effect is generated, when one of the second patterns and the third pattern operate as a radiator; and

a pattern unit connected to the first ground feeding unit and radiates a coupled signal generated from the first ground feeding unit.

7. The antenna for the vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the pattern unit is formed as a meander type and formed as a λ/2 pattern.
