Abstract

A folded dipole loop antenna has a matching circuit integrally formed therein. The antenna includes a radiating unit formed in the shape of a loop, and the matching circuit has an extended part projected and extended toward a central area of the radiating unit from an inner side surface of the radiating unit, thereby eliminating the need for a separate space for the matching circuit. The antenna can change a resonant frequency thereof by adjusting input reactance through the matching circuit.

Claims (12)

1. A folded dipole loop antenna, comprising:

a matching circuit integrally formed in the antenna; and

a radiating unit formed in the shape of a loop,

wherein the matching circuit has an extended part projected and extended toward a central area of the radiating unit from an inner side surface of the radiating unit.

2. The antenna of claim 1 , wherein the radiating unit comprises an inner loop and an outer loop, which are formed in the same shape.

3. The antenna of claim 2 , wherein the outer loop at one side thereof is opened to have a first end and a second end,

wherein the first end forms a current supplying point and the second end forms a shorting point.

4. The antenna of claim 3 , wherein the inner loop is bent toward an inner side of the outer loop at an area thereof opposite to the current supplying point and the shorting point and then extended along an inner side surface of the outer loop.

5. The antenna of claim 4 , wherein the extended part comprises a pair of extended lines disposed to face each other toward the central area of the inner loop, and free ends of the extended lines are disposed in a spaced-apart relation to each other.

6. The antenna of claim 5 , wherein the extended lines are formed along an imaginary center line extending lengthwise along the extended lines.

7. The antenna of claim 6 , wherein a tuning part is formed on each of free ends of the extended lines to be enlarged by a specified length in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof.

8. The antenna of claim 6 , wherein a resonant frequency decreases as a length of the tuning part is reduced.
