Abstract

An antenna assembly includes a base member, an antenna device having an antenna member disposed on one surface of the base member, a ground member disposed on the opposite surface of the base member, and a conductive coupling member coupled between the antenna member and the ground member. The antenna device may include an additional antenna member coupled to the conductive coupling member and symmetric to the antenna member. An additional antenna device may be attached to the base member and parallel to or perpendicular to the antenna device for facilitating the antenna device.

Claims

1. An antenna assembly comprising:

a base member including a first orifice formed therein, and including a first surface and an opposite second surface, and

a first antenna device including a first antenna member provided on said first surface of said base member, a first ground member provided on said second surface of said base member, and a first conductive coupling member received in said first orifice of said base member and coupled between said first antenna member and said first ground member.

2. The antenna assembly according to claim 1, wherein said first antenna member of said first antenna device includes a peripheral portion and a first end coupled to said first conductive coupling member.

3. The antenna assembly according to claim 2, wherein said first antenna member of said first antenna device includes a second end arranged within said peripheral portion of said first antenna member.

4. The antenna assembly according to claim 1, wherein said first antenna device further includes a second antenna member coupled to said first conductive coupling member.

5. The antenna assembly according to claim 4, wherein said second antenna member of said first antenna device includes a peripheral portion and a first end coupled to said first conductive coupling member.

6. The antenna assembly according to claim 5, wherein said second antenna member of said first antenna device is symmetric to said first antenna member and includes a second end arranged within said peripheral portion of said second antenna member.

7. The antenna assembly according to claim 1 further comprising a second antenna device including a second antenna member provided on said first surface of said base member, a second ground member provided on said second surface of said base member, and a second conductive coupling member received in said base member and coupled between said second antenna member and said second ground member.

8. The antenna assembly according to claim 7, wherein said second antenna member of said second antenna device includes a peripheral portion and a first end coupled to said second conductive coupling member.

9. The antenna assembly according to claim 8, wherein said second antenna member of said second antenna device includes a second end arranged within said peripheral portion of said second antenna member.

10. The antenna assembly according to claim 7, wherein said second antenna device is parallel to said first antenna device and further includes a third antenna member coupled to said second conductive coupling member.

11. The antenna assembly according to claim 10, wherein said third antenna member of said second antenna device includes a peripheral portion and a first end coupled to said second conductive coupling member.

12. The antenna assembly according to claim 7 further comprising a third ground member provided on said second surface of said base member and coupled to second ground member of said second antenna device.

13. The antenna assembly according to claim 7, wherein said second antenna device is perpendicular to said first antenna device, and further includes a third antenna member coupled to said second conductive coupling member.

14. The antenna assembly according to claim 13, wherein said third antenna member of said second antenna device is symmetric to said second antenna member, and includes a peripheral portion and a first end coupled to said second conductive coupling member, and includes a second end arranged within said peripheral portion of said third antenna member.
