Abstract

A wideband antenna includes a grounding element; a feed-in terminal; a first radiating unit, electrically connected to the feed-in terminal and extending from the feed-in terminal toward a first direction; a second radiating unit, electrically connected to the feed-in terminal, extending from the feed-in terminal toward a second direction, and including a meander-shaped element; and a third radiating unit, electrically connected to the grounding element, extending from the grounding element toward the first radiating unit and the second radiating unit, and having one segment parallel to the meander-shaped element, for coupling the meander-shaped element.

Claims (13)

1. A wideband antenna, comprising:

a grounding element;

a feed-in terminal;

a first radiating unit, electrically connected to the feed-in terminal and extending from the feed-in terminal toward a first direction, for transmitting and receiving wireless signals in a first frequency band;

a second radiating unit, electrically connected to the feed-in terminal, extending from the feed-in terminal toward a second direction, and comprising a meander-shaped element, for transmitting and receiving wireless signals in a second frequency band; and

a third radiating unit, electrically connected to the grounding element at an end of the third radiating unit, extending from the grounding element toward the first radiating unit and the second radiating unit, and having one segment parallel to the meander-shaped element, for coupling the meander-shaped element, so as to transmit and receive wireless signals in a third frequency band;

wherein a length of the third radiating unit from the end connected to the grounding element to the other end is greater than a length of the first radiating unit, and a long segment of the meander-shaped element is parallel to the second direction.

2. The wideband antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

3. The wideband antenna of claim 2 , wherein the third radiating unit has another segment substantially surrounding the first radiating unit and parallel to the first radiating unit.

4. The wideband antenna of claim 1 , wherein the meander-shaped element of the second radiating unit is further parallel to a side of the grounding element, for coupling the grounding element.

5. The wideband antenna of claim 1 , wherein the second radiating unit further comprises an auxiliary radiating unit, electrically connected to the meander-shaped element and extending from the meander-shaped element toward the second direction.

6. The wideband antenna of claim 5 , wherein a horizontal projection result of the auxiliary radiating unit does not overlap the grounding element.

7. The wideband antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first radiating unit comprises a first segment and a second segment, and the feed-in terminal is connected between the first segment and the second segment.
