Abstract

There is provided an antenna implementing a first 0-th order resonant frequency using a first radiator to which power is fed through parallel inductors of helical structures, and implementing a second 0-th order resonant frequency using a second radiator to which power is couple-fed through radiation elements put into the helical structures.

Claims

1. An antenna, comprising:

parallel inductors of helical structures;

a first radiator to which power is fed through the parallel inductors of helical structures, the antenna implementing a first 0-th order resonant frequency using the first radiator; and

a second radiator to which power is couple-fed through radiation elements put into the helical structures, the antenna implementing a second 0-th order resonant frequency using the second radiator;

wherein the second radiator is put into a cylinder of a helical structure of the first radiator.

2. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein if there are two second radiators, the second radiators are respectively put into cylinders of the helical structures placed at both ends of the first radiator.

3. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein coupling amount is adjusted depending on a length or a thickness of a rod-type metallic member put into the helical structure or a panel-type metallic member.

4. The antenna according to claim 3, wherein impedance of the second resonance can be adjusted depending on the adjusted coupling amount.

5. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein inductors are respectively connected to an end of the first and second radiators, and the resonant frequencies are adjusted by changing values of the inductors.

6. The antenna according to claim 1, wherein the resonant frequencies are adjusted using meta material and coupling power feed.
