Abstract

A multiband antenna includes a first radio unit closed loop and a second radio unit connected to the first radio unit and symmetrical structure. When the multiband antenna functions, the first radio unit functions as a balanced loop antenna, and the second radio unit functions as a dipole antenna.

Claims

1. A multiband antenna, comprising:

a first radio unit shaped as a closed loop; and

a second radio unit connected to the first radio unit and symmetrically shaped;

wherein the first radio unit functions as a balanced loop antenna and the second radio unit functions as a dipole antenna; and

wherein the second radio unit includes a main portion and a plurality of arm portions connected to the main portion, the arm portions cooperating with the main portion to form a plurality of sub-radio units, and the sub-radio units coupled with each other to regulate the working frequency bandwidth of the multiband antenna.

2. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first radio unit and the second radio unit are both planar sheets and parallel to each other.

3. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first radio unit is a rectangular frame, the working frequency bandwidth of the multiband antenna being regulated by changing the lengths of the sides of the first radio unit.

4. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 3, wherein the main portion includes a longitudinal main section and two longitudinal extending sections that are respectively perpendicularly connected to the ends of the main section and extend parallel to each other towards a same side of the main section.

5. The multiband as claimed in claim 4, wherein the arm portions are connected to the two extending sections.

6. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 5, wherein the arm portions are longitudinal sheets perpendicularly connected to the inner sides of the two extending sections and parallel to the main section.

7. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 6, wherein each arm portion connected to one extending section is aligned with another arm portion connected to another extending section, and each pair of arm portions respectively connected to two extending sections and aligned with each other are equidistant from the main section.

8. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 6, wherein arm portions connected to a same extending section are equidistant.

9. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a connecting unit, which is a planar sheet having one end connected to the middle part of a side of the first radio unit and another end connected to the middle part of the main section.

10. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a feed unit connected to the middle part of another side of the first radio unit parallel to the side of the first radio unit connected to the connecting unit.

11. A multiband antenna, comprising:

a first radio unit, the first radio unit being a planar sheet and a rectangular frame, the working frequency bandwidth of the multiband antenna being regulated by changing the lengths of the sides of the first radio unit; and

a second radio unit, the second radio unit being a planar sheet and including a main portion and a plurality of arm portions connected to the main portion;

wherein the arm portions cooperate with the main portion to form a plurality of sub-radio units, and the sub-radio units are coupled with each other to regulate the working frequency bandwidth of the multiband antenna.

12. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first radio unit and the second radio unit are parallel to each other.

13. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 11, wherein the main portion includes a longitudinal main section and two longitudinal extending sections that are respectively perpendicularly connected to two ends of the main section and extend parallel to each other towards a same side of the main section.

14. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 13, wherein the arm portions are longitudinal sheets perpendicularly connected to the inner sides of the two extending sections and parallel to the main section.

15. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 14, wherein each arm portion connected to one extending section is aligned with another arm portion connected to another extending section, and each pair of arm portions respectively connected to two extending sections and aligned with each other are equidistant from the main section.

16. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 15, wherein arm portions connected to a same extending section are equidistant.

17. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 11, further comprising a connecting unit, which is a planar sheet having one end connected to the middle part of a side of the first radio unit and another end connected to the middle part of the main section.

18. The multiband antenna as claimed in claim 17, further comprising a feed unit connected to the middle part of another side of the first radio unit parallel to the side of the first radio unit connected to the connecting unit.
