Antenna device
View Patent ↗An antenna device includes an antenna surface provided with an antenna conductor, a ground surface opposed to the antenna surface and provided with a ground conductor, and a stub in which a plurality of transmission lines having different line widths are connected to each other in series. The stub is located in approximately the same plane as the antenna surface or between the antenna surface and the ground surface.
1. An antenna device comprising:
an antenna surface provided with an antenna conductor;
a ground surface opposed to the antenna surface and provided with a ground conductor; and
a stub in which a plurality of transmission lines having different line widths are connected to each other in series, wherein:
the stub is located at a same plane as the antenna surface or between the antenna surface and the ground surface;
the stub is located within an area defined by an outer periphery of the antenna conductor in plan view from an antenna surface side of the antenna device; and
a line width of a first transmission line of the plurality of transmission lines that is closest to a power supply point disposed in the stub is smaller than a line width of a second transmission line of the plurality of transmission lines that is connected to the first transmission line in series.
2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of transmission lines have a same line length.
3. The antenna device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a substrate made of a dielectric, wherein:
the substrate is configured by a first substrate and a second substrate which is a layer located above the first substrate;
the ground conductor is provided on a back surface of the first substrate;
the antenna conductor is provided on a front surface of the second substrate; and
the stub is provided between a front surface of the first substrate and a back surface of the second substrate.
4. The antenna device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a substrate made of a dielectric, wherein:
the antenna conductor and the stub are provided on one surface of the substrate.
5. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the stub has at least one bending portion for arranging portions of a same transmission line or different transmission lines so as to be parallel with each other in the plurality of transmission lines that are connected to each other in series.
6. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the antenna conductor has a plurality of antenna conductors capable of operating in different frequency bands provided on the antenna surface so as to be distant from each other; and
the stub has a plurality of sub-stubs that are impedance-matched corresponding to the plurality of antenna conductors respectively.
