Abstract

A multi-band antenna includes a first radiator resonating at a high frequency bans and a second radiator extended from a first end and toward a second end of the first radiator, and resonating at a low frequency range. An opening slot is formed between the first and the second radiators. A connecting slot and an end slot are formed in the second radiator. The width of the connecting slot is wider than the width of the opening slot. The connecting slot can prevent vectors potential caused by the second radiator from being neutralized. The electromagnetic coupling effect over the opening slot caused by the first radiator and the second radiator can pull down the low frequency range for reducing the size of the second radiator. Therefore, the multi-band antenna has a small size.

Claims

1. An antenna, comprising:

a first radiating portion having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion;

a second radiating portion extending from the first end portion and toward the second end of the first radiating portion;

a gap formed between the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion, which comprises;

an opening slot formed between the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion; and

a connecting slot and an end slot formed in the second radiating portion, a width of the connecting slot being wider than a width of the opening slot.

2. The antenna as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second radiating portion has a first radiating section being of a bent shape and a second radiating section, the first radiating section interconnects the first radiating portion and the second radiating section, the second radiating section is parallel to the first radiating portion, the opening slot is formed between the first radiating portion and the second radiating section, the connecting slot and the end slot is formed in the first radiating section.

3. The antenna as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first radiating portion and the second radiating section are of a rectangle shape.

4. The antenna as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first radiating section comprises

a first L-shaped section having a third end portion connected to the first end portion of the first radiating portion, and a fourth end portion;

a second L-shaped section parallel with the first L-shaped section having a fifth end portion connected to the second radiating section and a sixth end portion; and

a connecting section interconnected to the fourth end portion of the first L-shaped section and the sixth end portion of the second L-shaped section.

5. The antenna as claimed in claim 4, wherein an area of the first L-shaped section adjacent to a first side of the end slot is smaller than an area of the second L-shaped section adjacent to the second side of the end slot opposite to the first side.
