Printed circuit radio frequency antenna
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A radio frequency antenna for operation at a nominal frequency comprising:
- a first circuit board etched on each side thereof to form a first pair of coaxial congruent conductive loops, each loop having a perimeter much smaller than a wavelength corresponding to the nominal frequency;
a second circuit board etched on each side thereof to form a second pair of coaxial congruent conductive loops congruent with the first pair of conductive loops;
spacer means for maintaining the first and second circuit boards in a fixed spaced apart relationship with the first and second pairs of conductive loops in a coaxial relationship;
circuit connection means for electrically coupling the first and second pairs of conductive loops in a series relationship.

Abstract
A radio frequency antenna comprises a pair of double-sided printed circuit boards that are etched on each side to form conductive loops around the periphery of each board. The circuit boards are spaced apart by standoffs and the loops are electrically coupled in series. An impedance matching network is incorporated on one of the circuit boards.
