Abstract

A multi-band antenna includes a grounding element located on a first planar, a connecting element, a first radiating portion, and a second radiating portion. The connecting element is substantially of L-shape configuration and located on the first planar. The first radiating portion, with a free end, extends from connecting element. The second radiating portion, with a free end, extends from the connecting element and is separated from the first radiating element. The free end of the first radiating portion and the free end of the second radiating portion extend in the same direction.

Claims

1. A multi-band antenna, comprising:

a grounding element, located on a first plane;

a connecting element, being substantially of L-shape configuration and located on the first plane;

an L-shape first radiating portion, with a free end and perpendicularly extending from connecting element, said first radiating portion comprising a vertical first radiating arm orthogonal connected to the connecting element and a horizontal second radiating arm extending from the end of the first radiating arm; and

an L-shape second radiating portion, with a free end and perpendicularly extending from the connecting element and separated from the first radiating element, said second radiating portion comprising a third radiating arm upwardly extending from the connecting element in a direction perpendicular to the connecting element and a fourth radiating arm extending from the third radiating arm in a direction perpendicular to the third radiating arm;

said free end of the first radiating portion and the free end of the second radiating portion extending in the same direction.

2. The multi-band antenna as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second radiating arm is parallel to the fourth radiating arm, said first radiating arm is parallel to the third radiating arm.

3. A multi-band antenna comprising:

a grounding element;

a connecting element unitarily extending from the grounding element with therebetween a slot extending along a lengthwise direction;

a first L-shape radiating portion unitarily extending from a first position of a longitudinal side edge of the connecting element which extends along the lengthwise direction;

a second L-shape radiating portion unitarily extending from a second position of said longitudinal side edge spaced from the first position in said lengthwise direction;

wherein

said second radiating portion is essentially disposed in a space defined between the first radiating portion and the longitudinal side edge.

4. The multi-band antenna as claimed in claim 3, wherein said first radiating portion and said second radiating portion direct to a same direction.

5. The multi-band antenna as claimed in claim 3, wherein said first radiating portion and said second radiating portion are located in a first plane while said grounding element is located in a second plane different from said first plane.

6. The multi-band antenna as claimed in claim 3, wherein the slot is open to an exterior in said same direction.

7. The multi-band antenna as claimed in claim 3, further including a feeder cable having an inner conductor mechanically and electrically connected to the connecting element and an outer conductor mechanically and electrically connected to the grounding element.

8. The multi-band antenna as claimed in claim 3, wherein said longitudinal side edge is spaced from the slot.

9. A multi-band antenna comprising:

a grounding element defining a lengthwise direction;

a connecting element unitarily extending from the grounding element with therebetween a slot extending along said lengthwise direction;

a first radiating portion unitarily extending from a first position of a longitudinal section of the connecting element which extends along said lengthwise direction;

a second radiating portion unitarily extending from a second position of the longitudinal section of the connecting element different from the first position in the lengthwise direction;

wherein

said first radiating portion and the second radiating portion are located in a first plane which is different from a second plane in which said grounding element is located.

10. The multi-band antenna as claimed in claim 9, wherein said connecting element is located in the same plane with the grounding element.
