Abstract

A slot antenna for a portable wireless communication device hides the antenna, which is integrated with the portable wireless communication device. The slot antenna has good communication capabilities, and causes no additional electromagnetic interference to the portable wireless communication device. The slot antenna has multi-polarization capabilities, which can provide better communication functionality.

Claims (18)

1. A slot antenna for a portable wireless communication device comprising:

at least one metallic resonating chamber, having at least one first slot on at least one side;

at least one feeding wire, coupled on a side of the metal resonating chamber;

at least one excitation section, placed inside the metal resonating chamber and connected to the at least one feeding wire; and

the portable wireless communication device having at least one second slot on at least one side;

wherein the metal resonant chamber is located in the portable wireless communication device and the at least one first slot is working with the at least one second slot, and wherein an internal surface of the metal resonating chamber is occupied with a material with a high dielectric constant.

2. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one side with the at least one slot is a part of the at least one side of the portable wireless communications device.

3. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 1 wherein the slot antenna receives a communication signal via the feeding wire, and the metal resonating chamber generates a resonance resulting from the communication signal.

4. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the excitation section is no longer than one quarter the wavelength of the communication signal.

5. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one first slot is no longer than one quarter of the wavelength of the communication signal.

6. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the excitation section is made of a metallic material.

7. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the excitation section is part of the feeding wire.

8. The slot antennas as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material with the high dielectric constant is a ceramic material.

9. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one first slot further comprises at least one non-metallic material.

10. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least one non-metallic material is plastic.

11. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the portable wireless communication device is a table computer.

12. The slot antennas as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the portable wireless communication device is a notebook.

13. The slot antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the portable wireless communication device is a PDA.
