Abstract

A wideband antenna includes a grounding unit electrically connected to a ground, a feed-in source for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals, a first radiating body including a first radiating unit extending along a first direction, a second radiating unit extending along a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a conducting unit extending along a third direction, and a second radiating body including a short-circuit unit electrically connected to the grounding unit, a third radiating unit including a branch to generate a coupling connection effect with the conducting unit via a first distance, wherein an average perpendicular distance between the second radiating body and the grounding unit is smaller than an average perpendicular distance between the first radiating body and the grounding unit.

Claims (50)

a grounding unit electrically connected to a ground;

a feed-in source for transmitting and receiving radio frequency signals;

a first radiating body comprising:

a first radiating unit extending along a first direction;

a second radiating unit extending along a second direction opposite to the first direction; and

a conducting unit extending along a third direction, and comprising one end electrically connected between the first radiating unit and the second radiating unit and another end electrically connected to the feed-in source; and

a second radiating body comprising:

a short-circuit unit electrically connected to the grounding unit;

a third radiating unit electrically connected to the short-circuit unit, and comprising a branch extending along the third direction to generate a coupling connection effect with the conducting unit via a first distance;

wherein the first direction is approximately perpendicular to the third direction, and a distance between a side of the second radiating body facing the grounding unit and the grounding unit is smaller than a distance between a side of the first radiating unit facing the grounding unit and the grounding unit, such that a combination of the first radiating body and the grounding unit externally surrounds the second radiating body.

2. The wideband antenna of claim 1 , wherein the second radiating unit is demonstrated as a staircase-shape or a slope-shape.

3. The wideband antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first distance is less than 5 micrometers.

4. The wideband antenna of claim 1 , wherein the second radiating unit comprises a slot.
