Abstract

A dual band antenna with circular polarization is applied in a handheld device and includes a substrate, a radiation metal portion and a feed-in stripline. The substrate has a vacant area and a feed-in point. The feed-in point is disposed near and outside the vacant area. The radiation metal portion is disposed vertically to a surface of the substrate at the edge of the vacant area, and includes a radiation surface and a meandering structure. The radiation surface is disposed at one side of the radiation metal portion and near the substrate. The meandering structure is disposed at another side of the radiation metal portion and far from the substrate. The feed-in stripline is disposed on the substrate. One end of the feed-in stripline is electrically connected to the feed-in point, and the other end of the feed-in stripline is electrically connected to the radiation metal portion.

Claims

1. A dual band antenna with circular polarization comprising:

a substrate having a vacant area and a feed-in point, wherein the feed-in point is disposed outside the vacant area;

a radiation metal portion, disposed vertically to a surface of the substrate at an edge of the vacant area, comprising a radiation surface and a meandering structure, wherein the radiation surface is disposed at one side of the radiation metal portion near the substrate, and the meandering structure is disposed at another side of the radiation metal portion far from the substrate; and

a feed-in stripline disposed on the substrate, wherein one end point of the feed-in stripline is electrically connected to the feed-in point, and the other end point of the feed-in stripline is electrically connected to the radiation metal portion,

wherein, the meandering structure comprises a first line segment, a second line segment, a third line segment, a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment;

the first line segment, the second line segment and the third line segment are mutually parallel;

the first line segment and the second line segment are interconnected with the first connecting segment;

the second line segment and the third line segment are interconnected with the second connecting segment; and

the third line segment is disposed between the first line segment and the second line segment.

2. The dual band antenna with circular polarization of claim 1, wherein the substrate is substantially rectangular and has two first long sides parallel to each other and two first short sides parallel to each other, and the vacant area is a rectangular area located in a corner of the substrate, the rectangular area has two second long sides parallel to each other and two second short sides parallel to each other, and the two first long sides are parallel to the two second long sides, while the two first short sides are parallel to the two second short sides.

3. The dual band antenna with circular polarization of claim 2, wherein the two second long sides of the vacant area is ranged from 30 cm to 50 cm in length, the two second short side thereof is ranged from 8 cm to 15 cm in length, and the effect of dual band operation and the impedance matching at the resonant modes of the dual band antenna with circular polarization can be controlled by adjusting the size of the vacant area.

4. The dual band antenna with circular polarization of claim 1, wherein the substrate is a circuit board and a bottom surface thereof has a ground metal layer, wherein the ground metal layer does not overlap with the vacant area and the feed-in point is disposed on an upper surface of the circuit board opposite to the ground metal layer.

5. The dual band antenna with circular polarization of claim 1, wherein the meandering structure has a slit and is meandered in the shape of a paper clip, the slit is meandered along with the meandering direction of the meandering structure and forms an opening at the edge of the radiation metal portion, thereby separating the first line segment, the second line segment and the third line segment with the slit.

6. The dual band antenna with circular polarization of claim 1, wherein the meandering structure is disposed on the radiation metal portion opposite to a upper edge of the substrate.
