Abstract

An antenna for receiving and transmitting radio signals includes a ground metal plate, a first patch plate, a second patch plate, a first feed-in wire electrically connected to the first patch plate for transmitting radio signals, a second feed-in wire electrically connected to the second patch plate for transmitting radio signals, and an insulation fixing unit for fixing the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate, to ensure that the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate do not electrically contact to each other.

Claims (45)

1. An antenna for receiving and transmitting radio signals, comprising:

a ground metal plate;

a first patch plate;

a second patch plate;

a first feed-in wire, electrically connected to the first patch plate, for transmitting radio signals;

a second feed-in wire, electrically connected to the second patch plate, for transmitting radio signals; and

an insulation fixing unit, for fixing the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate, such that the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate do not come in electrical contact with each other;

wherein a result of projecting the first patch plate on the ground metal plate partially overlaps a result of projecting the second patch plate on the ground metal plate.

2. The antenna of claim 1 , wherein the ground metal plate comprises at least a bend.

3. The antenna of claim 2 , wherein the at least a bend of the ground metal plate is used for focusing a wave beam generated by the antenna within a predefined range.

4. The antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first patch plate or the second patch plate comprises at least a bend.

5. The antenna of claim 4 , wherein the at least a bend of the first patch plate or the second patch plate is used for reducing an area projected onto the ground metal plate by the first patch plate or the second patch plate.

6. The antenna of claim 1 , further comprising a third patch plate, wherein the insulation fixing unit is further used for fixing the third patch plate between the first patch plate and the second patch plate, such that the first patch plate, the second patch plate and the third patch plate do not come in electrical contact with each other.

7. The antenna of claim 1 , wherein wire lengths of the first feed-in wire and the second feed-in wire are related to half wavelengths of the radio signals transmitted.

8. A complex antenna for receiving and transmitting radio signals, comprising a plurality of antennas, each antenna comprising:

a ground metal plate;

a first patch plate;

a second patch plate;

a first feed-in wire, electrically connected to the first patch plate, for transmitting radio signals;

a second feed-in wire, electrically connected to the second patch plate, for transmitting radio signals; and

an insulation fixing unit, for fixing the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate, such that the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate do not come in electrical contact with each other;

wherein a result of projecting the first patch plate on the ground metal plate partially overlaps a result of projecting the second patch plate on the ground metal plate, and the ground metal plate of each of the plurality of antennas is electrically connected to the ground metal plate of another antenna.

9. The complex antenna of claim 8 , wherein the ground metal plate of each of the plurality of antennas comprises at least a bend.

10. The complex antenna of claim 9 , wherein the at least a bend of the ground metal plate of each of the plurality of antennas is for focusing a wave beam generated by each of the plurality of antennas within a predefined range.

11. The complex antenna of claim 8 , wherein the first patch plate or the second patch plate of each of the plurality of antennas comprises at least a bend.

12. The complex antenna of claim 11 , wherein the at least a bend of the first patch plate or the second patch plate of each of the plurality of antennas is used for reducing an area projected onto the ground metal plate by the first patch plate or the second patch plate.

13. The complex antenna of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of antennas further comprises a third patch plate, and the insulation fixing unit is further used for fixing the third patch plate between the first patch plate and the second patch plate, such that the first patch plate, the second patch plate and the third patch plate do not come in electrical contact with each other.

14. The complex antenna of claim 8 , wherein wire lengths of the first feed-in wire and the second feed-in wire of each of the plurality of antennas are related to half wavelengths of the radio signals transmitted.

15. A radio-frequency transceiver system for receiving and transmitting radio signals, comprising:

a complex antenna, comprising a plurality of antennas, each of the plurality of antennas comprising:

a ground metal plate;

a first patch plate;

a second patch plate;

a first feed-in wire, electrically connected to the first patch plate, for transmitting radio signals;

a second feed-in wire, electrically connected to the second patch plate, for transmitting radio signals; and

an insulation fixing unit, for fixing the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate, such that the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate do not come in electrical contact with each other;

wherein a result of projecting the first patch plate on the ground metal plate partially overlaps a result of projecting the second patch plate on the ground metal plate, and the ground metal plate of each of the plurality of antennas is electrically connected to the ground metal plate of another antenna;

a radio-frequency signal processing module; and

a switching circuit, electrically connected between the first feed-in wire, the second feed-in wire of each of the plurality of antennas and the radio-frequency signal processing module, for switching a connection between the radio-frequency signal processing module and the first feed-in wire or the second feed-in wire.

16. The radio-frequency transceiver system of claim 15 , wherein the ground metal plate of each of the plurality of antennas comprises at least a bend.

17. The radio-frequency transceiver system of claim 16 , wherein the at least a bend of the ground metal plate of each of the plurality of antennas is used for focusing a wave beam generated by each of the plurality of antennas within a predefined range.

18. The radio-frequency transceiver system of claim 15 , wherein the first patch plate or the second patch plate of each of the plurality of antennas comprises at least a bend.

19. The radio-frequency transceiver system of claim 18 , wherein the at least a bend of the first patch plate or the second patch plate of each of the plurality of antennas is used for reducing an area projected onto the ground metal plate by the first patch plate or the second patch plate.

20. The radio-frequency transceiver system of claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of antennas further comprises a third patch plate, and the insulation fixing unit is further used for fixing the third patch plate between the first patch plate and the second patch plate, such that the ground metal plate, the first patch plate and the second patch plate do not come in electrical contact with each other.
