Antenna device
An antenna device 10 includes at least one dielectric substrate 2 , a conductor plate 3 arranged in the dielectric substrate 2 , at least one slot 4 formed in the conductor plate 3 , at least one stub 5 , and at least one via 6 . The stub 5 is formed on a surface of the dielectric substrate 2 different from a surface where the slot is formed, the stub 5 being formed to cross the slot 4 . The via 6 has one end connected to a periphery of the slot 4 of the conductor plate 3 and another end connected to the stub 5.
1. An antenna device comprising:
at least one dielectric substrate;
a conductor plate arranged in the dielectric substrate;
at least one slot formed in the conductor plate;
at least one stub formed on a surface of the dielectric substrate different from a surface in which the slot is formed, the stub being formed to cross the slot; and
at least one via comprising one end connected to a periphery of the slot of the conductor plate and another end connected to one end of the stub, wherein
a second end, opposite the first end, of the stub is one of an open-end with respect to the conductor plate and a short-end short-circuited to the conductor plate.
2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the stub comprises the open-end stub, and
a length of the stub is shorter than 1/4 of a wavelength corresponding to a frequency for which the antenna device is configured.
3. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the stub comprises the short-end stub comprising a distal end short-circuited to the conductor plate, and
a length of the stub is longer than 1/4 and shorter than 1/2 of a wavelength corresponding to a frequency for which the antenna device is configured.
4. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of stubs are arranged so as to cross the slot.
5. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the slot comprises one end which is open-ended at an end surface of the conductor plate and another end which is short-circuited.
6. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the stub is arranged at a periphery of an open end of the slot.
7. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the stub is arranged at least at a location spaced apart from an open end of the slot by about 2/3, 2/5, or 4/5 of a slot length of the slot.
8. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein:
the conductor plate comprises a first slot to which power is supplied and a second slot to which power is not supplied, each of the first slot and the second slot comprises one end which is open-ended and another end which is short-circuited, and
the open end of the first slot and the open end of the second slot are opposed to each other.
9. The antenna device according to claim 8 , wherein the stub is arranged in another surface of the dielectric substrate to cross the second slot.
10. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein both ends of the slot are short-circuited.
