Abstract

A dual-band antenna (10) is disposed on a substrate (20), for transceiving electromagnetic signals of different frequencies. The dual-band antenna includes a grounded portion (12), a feeding portion (14), and a radiation body (16). The feeding portion is adjacent to the grounded portion. The radiation body electronically connected to the feeding portion, includes a first radiation portion (160) and a second radiation portion (162). The first radiation portion includes a first free end (160c), a first connecting end (160a) electronically connected to the feeding portion, and a serpentine portion (160b) between the first free end and the first connecting end. The second radiation portion, includes a second connecting end (162a) electronically connected to the first connecting end, and a second free end (162b), wherein the first free end and the second free end face each other and a gap (18) is formed therebetween.

Claims

1. A dual-band antenna disposed on a substrate for transceiving electromagnetic signals of different frequencies, comprising:

a grounded portion;

a feeding portion adjacent to the grounded portion, for feeding signals; and

a radiation body electronically connected to the feeding portion, comprising;

a first radiation portion, comprising a first free end, a first connecting end electronically connected to the feeding portion, and a serpentine portion between the first free end and the first connecting end; and

a second radiation portion, comprising a second connecting end electronically connected to the first connecting end, and a second free end, wherein the first free end and the second free end face each other and a gap is formed therebetween;

wherein the first radiation portion and the second radiation portion collectively define a hole at a center of the radiation body, two opposite circumambient sides of the hole extending straightly while the rest circumambient sides of the hole extending curvilinearly.

2. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 1, wherein a length of the first radiation portion is greater than that of the second radiation portion.

3. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 1, wherein the first radiation portion and the second radiation portion are integrally formed.

4. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 1, wherein the grounded portion comprises a first grounded block and a second grounded block, the first grounded block is disposed on one side of the feeding portion, and the second grounded block is disposed on the other side of the feeding portion.

5. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 1, wherein the radiation body is ring-shaped.

6. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 1, wherein the first free end and the second free end co-define a capacitive load.

7. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 1, wherein the serpentine portion has a selected one of a w-shaped configuration, an s-shaped configuration, and a u-shaped configuration.

8. A dual-band antenna, disposed on a substrate, for transceiving electromagnetic signals of different frequencies, comprising:

a grounded portion;

a feeding portion, disposed beside the grounded portion; and

a radiation body, substantially ring-shaped with a hole being defined at a center thereof, the radiation body defining a gap on one side thereof, and comprising a serpentine portion on an opposite side to the gap, and a connecting end disposed between the gap and the serpentine portion and electronically connected to the feeding portion;

wherein two opposite circumambient sides of the hole extend straightly while the rest circumambient sides of the hole extend curvilinearly.

9. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 8, wherein the grounded portion comprises a first grounded block and a second grounded block, the first grounded block is disposed on one side of the feeding portion, and the second grounded block is disposed on the other side of the feeding portion.

10. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 8, wherein the serpentine portion has a selective one of a w-shaped configuration, an s-shaped configuration, and a u-shaped configuration.

11. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 8, wherein an outside radius and an inside radius of the radiation portion are respectively 10 mm and 6 mm.

12. The dual-band antenna as recited in claim 11, wherein a length of a straight edge co-formed by the serpentine portion and the inside ring to connect two inside arced edges thereof is 5 mm.

13. An antenna assembly comprising:

a substrate; and

an antenna attachably formed on said substrate for transceiving electromagnetic signals of different frequencies, said antenna comprising a feeding portion for feeding signals of said antenna, and a radiation body electrically connectable with said feeding portion for radiating said signals of said antenna, a hole defined at a center of said radiation body and two opposite circumambient sides of said hole extending straightly while the rest circumambient sides of said hole extend curvilinearly, a gap defined in said radiation body beside said hole and configured to end at one of said two opposite straightly extending circumambient sides of said hole.

14. The antenna assembly as recited in claim 13, wherein said radiation body is circular ring-shaped.

15. The antenna assembly as recited in claim 13, wherein a serpentine portion is defined in said radiation body beside said hole and configured to neighbor the other of said two opposite straightly extending circumambient sides of said hole.
