Multi-band antenna with patch and slot structures
First Claim
1. A multiple-band antenna comprising:
- a first patch structure comprising spaced apart first and second end portions;
a second patch structure electrically coupled to the first patch structure between the first and second end portions thereof;
a first triangularly-shaped slot structure disposed between the first end portion of the first patch structure and the second patch structure; and
a second triangularly-shaped slot structure disposed between the second end portion of the first patch structure and the second patch structure.

Abstract
A multiple-band antenna having first and second operating frequency bands is provided. The antenna includes a first patch structure associated primarily with the first operating frequency band, a second patch structure electrically coupled to the first patch structure and associated primarily with the second operating frequency band, a first slot structure disposed between a first portion of the first patch structure and the second patch structure and associated primarily with the first operating frequency band, and a second slot structure disposed between a second portion of the first patch structure and the second patch structure and associated primarily with the second operating frequency band. A mounting structure for the multiple-band antenna is also provided. The mounting structure includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to and overlapping the first surface. The first and second patch structures are mounted to the first surface, and a feeding point and ground point, respectively connected to the first and second patch structures, are mounted to the second surface.
