Antenna module and vehicle comprising same
An antenna module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a main board, a ground area formed in a rectangular shape on at least a portion of a main board, a pair of power feeding units formed at edge portions of the ground area while being spaced apart from each other, and a pair of monopole antennas electrically connected to the power feeding units, respectively, and disposed on the ground area while protruding from the ground area. The monopole antennas may be configured to be asymmetric about the feeding unit.
1. An antenna module comprising:
a main board;
a ground area formed in a rectangular shape on at least a portion of a main board;
a non-ground area formed adjacent to the ground area on the main board;
a pair of power feeding units formed at edge portions of the ground area while being spaced apart from each other; and
a pair of monopole antennas electrically connected to the power feeding units, respectively, the pair of monopole antennas protruding from the ground area and having a bent part of which at least a portion is positioned above the non-ground area, the pair of monopole antennas configured to be asymmetric about the feeding unit.
2. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the power feeding units are formed at both ends of one short side of the rectangular ground area while facing each other.
3. The antenna module of claim 2 , wherein one of the pair of monopole antennas is disposed along a long side of the ground area, and a remaining monopole antenna is disposed along a short side of the ground area.
4. The antenna module of claim 3 , further comprising a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antenna or a Wi-Fi antenna disposed along a long side of the ground area in adjacent to the monopole antenna disposed along the long side of the ground area.
5. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the monopole antennas include multi input and multi output (MIMO) antennas.
6. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the monopole antennas are formed in an inverted triangular shape and bent outward at a predetermined height.
7. The antenna module of claim 6 , further comprising a carrier formed of an insulating material, which is provided on the ground area to support a plurality of monopole antennas.
8. The antenna module of claim 1 , wherein the bent part of the monopole antenna which is formed by bending the monopole antenna at a right angle.
9. The antenna module of claim 6 , wherein a horizontal length of the bent monopole antenna is longer than a vertical length of the bent monopole antenna.
10. A vehicle comprising an antenna module according to claim 1 .
