Abstract

An internal printed antenna is revealed. The internal printed antenna includes a dielectric substrate, a ground plane, a metal loop radiating portion, and a microstrip feed line. The metal loop radiating portion includes a plurality of bends and a gap area is formed between adjacent bends. Two short circuit parts are arranged at the gap area.

Claims

1. An internal printed antenna comprising:

an dielectric substrate having a first surface and a second surface corresponding to the first surface;

a ground plane arranged at the first surface for signal ground;

a metal loop radiating portion that is on the first surface and is connected to an edge at one side of the ground surface;

the metal loop radiating portion having a plurality of bends and a gap area is formed between adjacent bends;

the gap area is disposed with at least one short circuit parts; and

a microstrip feed line that is corresponding to the metal loop radiating portion and is disposed on the second surface;

one end of the microstrip feed line is a signal feeding end of the antenna while the other end thereof is a coupling end having a rectangular main body and two extending parts connected to the rectangular main body;

the rectangular main body includes a vertical first slot having an opening at one end, a horizontal slot connected to the first slot, and a vertical second slot having one end connected to the horizontal slot;

the two extending parts are respectively connected to left and right sides of the rectangular main body while the extending part connected to the right side of the rectangular main body is a rectangular first extending part and the extending part connected to the left side of the rectangular main body is a L-shaped second extending part.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal loop radiating portion is used to generate full wavelength at 820 MHz.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the internal printed antenna further includes a connector that passes through the ground plane and the dielectric substrate;

4. The device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the connector is a 50 ohm SMA (SubMiniature version A) connector.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein impedance of the microstrip feed line is 50 ohm.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dielectric substrate is made from FR4 epoxy fiberglass.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal loop radiating portion is formed on the first surface by printing or etching.

8. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first extending part and the second extending part are extending from the right side and the left side of the rectangular main body symmetrically.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein thickness of the dielectric substrate is 0.8 mm.
