Abstract

An internal antenna providing impedance matching for a wide band is disclosed. The disclosed antenna may include: a substrate; an impedance matching/feeding unit comprising a feeding member, separated from the substrate at a designated distance, configured to receive RF signals, and of a designated length in a first direction, and a ground member, separated from the substrate at a designated distance, separated from the feeding member at a designated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and of a designated length in the first direction; and a radiator extending from the ground member; wherein the impedance matching/feeding unit performs impedance matching by way of coupling between the feeding member and the ground member, and the radiator receives coupling feeding from the feeding member. The disclosed antenna has the advantages of overcoming the narrow band problem of a planar inverted-F antenna, and of allowing more efficient utilization of space in an internal antenna.

Claims

1. An internal antenna providing impedance matching for a wide band, comprising:

a substrate;

a carrier joined on the substrate;

an impedance matching/feeding unit comprising a ground member and a feeding member, the ground member joined to a first surface of one of wall parts of the carrier and electrically connected to a ground, the feeding member joined to a second surface opposite the first side to receive a feed of RF signals; and

a radiator extending from the ground member and joined to the carrier.

2. The internal antenna providing impedance matching for a wide band according to claim 1, wherein the first side has a ground pin joined thereto, the ground pin electrically connected to a ground and formed perpendicularly from the substrate to be connected to the ground member, and the second side has a feeding pin joined thereto, the feeding pin electrically connected to a feeding point and formed perpendicularly from the substrate to be connected to the feeding member.

3. The internal antenna providing impedance matching for a wide band according to claim 1, wherein the carrier is equipped with a flat upper part formed over an upper part of the wall parts, and the radiator extends from the ground member to be formed over the flat upper part.
