Abstract

A slot antenna device including a substrate, a metal layer and a feeding element is provided. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The metal layer is disposed on the first surface, and includes a slot extending along a first direction. The feeding element is disposed on the second surface, and extended along a second direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. A length of the slot is a sum of each quarter wavelength of at least three frequency bands, so that the slot antenna device is operated at the at least three frequency bands. A projection of the feeding element on the first surface crosses the slot, so that the slot is divided into a first section and a second section, where a length of the first section is equal to a length of the second section.

Claims (19)

1. A slot antenna device, adapted to be operated at an at least three frequency bands, comprising:

a substrate, having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a metal layer, disposed on the first surface, and comprises a slot extending along a first direction; and

a feeding element, disposed on the second surface, and extended along a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction,

wherein a slot length of the slot is a sum of each quarter wavelength of at least three frequency bands, and a projection of the feeding element on the first surface crosses the slot, so that the slot is divided into a first section and a second section, wherein a slot length of the first section is equal to a slot length of the second section.

2. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first section comprises an open end of the slot, and the second section comprises a closed end of the slot.

3. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first section of the slot is in a linear shape.

4. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second section of the slot is in a curved shape.

5. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second section of the slot comprises a first end, a second end, a first corner and a second corner, and the first end and the first corner are both located at a straight line on the first direction, the first corner and the second corner are both located at a straight line on the second direction.

6. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second section of the slot further comprises a third corner, and the second corner and the third corner are both located at a straight line on the first direction.

7. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second section of the slot further comprises a fourth corner, and the third corner and the fourth corner are both located at a straight line on the second direction.

8. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feeding element is a metal microstrip, and a resistance value of the feeding element is 50 ohm.

9. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feeding element is in a linear shape.

10. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feeding element has a first line section extending along the first direction and a second line section extending along the second direction, and a projection of the second line section on the first surface crosses the slot.

11. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a flexible substrate, and the substrate is bended along a first reference line on the first direction or bended along a second reference line on the second direction.

12. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first reference line is located at a midline position of a projection of the slot on the second direction.

13. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the second reference line is located in the first section of the slot, and does not cross the feeding element.

14. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot antenna device is used for receiving a charging microwave of the at least three frequency bands, and the at least three frequency bands comprises 915 MHz, 2.45 GHz and 5.25 GHz.

15. The slot antenna device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the substrate is 0.4 mm.
