Abstract

An indented planar inverted F-type antenna apparatus comprises a metal ground plane having a feeding metal bore formed thereon and a crenellated metal in parallel with the metal ground plane. The crenellated metal further has an open-circuit end and a short-circuit end. The short-circuit end can connect with the metal ground plane through a short-circuit leg. Further, the crenellated metal can include a feeding leg for extending to pass through the feeding metal bore. By providing the crenellated structure of the crenellated metal, the size of the antenna can be reduced and an irregular electric field can be generated between the crenellated metal and the metal ground so that various frequencies of signals can be obtained and also operating frequency band of the antenna can be extended.

Claims

1. An indented planar inverted F-type antenna, comprising:

a metal ground plane, having a feeding metal bore formed thereon; and

a flat metal plate in parallel with the metal ground plane, having thereof an open-circuit end and a short-circuit end, the short-circuit end being electrically connected to the metal ground plane through a short-circuit leg, the flat metal plate further having thereof a feeding leg protruding to pass through the feeding metal bore;

wherein a distance of the flat metal plate measured from the open-circuit end to the short-circuit end is substantially equal to a quarter of a predetermined wavelength, and the open-circuit end has at least one chamfered structure thereof extending inwards.

2. The indented planar inverted F-type antenna of claim 1, wherein said feeding leg is not connected with said metal ground plane.

3. The indented planar inverted F-type antenna of claim 2, wherein said feeding leg is located symmetrically with respect to lateral sides of said flat metal, so that said the antenna is able to produce a symmetrical radiation field.
