First Claim
Patent Images
1. A surface mount antenna, comprising:
- a substrate comprising at least one of a dielectric material and a magnetic material, said substrate having a substantially rectangular prism shape and including a first major surface and a second major surface;
a ground electrode disposed on said first major surface of said substrate;
a radiation electrode having a strip shape disposed at least on said second major surface of said substrate and resonating at a single resonant frequency;
a feeding electrode disposed on at least one surface of said substrate; and
said radiation electrode including an open end portion and a plurality of grounded end portions, said open end portion being arranged close to said feeding electrode with a gap therebetween on said substrate, and said plurality of grounded end portions being connected to said ground electrode on different portions of the substrate, respectively.
