Abstract

In a micro-strip antenna comprising a radiating conductor and a grounding conductor which are installed on either side of a dielectric, a plate-form conductor is attached to the radiating conductor at a position which is roughly at point where an extension line extended from a line, that connects the center of gravity of the radiating conductor and a feeding point, intersects an edge of the radiating conductor. The plate-form conductor is attached also at a position which is rotated 90 degrees about the center of gravity from the above-described position. In addition, a portion of the plate-form conductor is set to project from the edge of the radiating conductor. In this way, the center frequency of the micro-strip antenna can easily be corrected during the manufacturing process of the micro-strip antenna.

Claims

1. A micro-strip antenna in which a radiating conductor and a grounding conductor are provided on either side of a dielectric, wherein a plate-form conductor is attached to said radiating conductor approximately at a position where an extension line, that is extended from a line which connects a center of gravity of said radiating conductor and a feeding point, intersects an edge of said radiating conductor, and a portion of said plate-form conductor projects outwardly from said edge of said radiating conductor.

2. A micro-strip antenna according to claim 1, wherein said plate-form conductor is a one-sided conductor in which one surface facing said radiating conductor is an insulator and another surface facing away from said radiating conductor is a conductor.

3. A micro-strip antenna according to claim 1, wherein said plate-form conductor is a two-sided conductor in which both sides are conductors.

4. A micro-strip antenna in which a radiating conductor and a grounding conductor are provided on either side of a dielectric, wherein a plate-form conductor is attached to said radiating conductor approximately at a point where a line which perpendicularly crosses an extension line that connects a center of gravity of said radiating conductor and a feed point intersects an edge of said radiating conductor, and a portion of said plate-form conductor projects outwardly from said edge of said radiating conductor.

5. A micro-strip antenna according to claim 4, wherein said plate-form conductor is a one-sided conductor in which one surface facing said radiating conductor is an insulator and another surface facing away from said radiating conductor is a conductor.

6. A micro-strip antenna according to claim 4, wherein said plate-form conductor is a two-sided conductor which both sides are conductors.
