LOW COST PATCH ANTENNA UTILIZED IN WIRELESS LAN APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention is a low cost patch antenna utilized in one or more wireless LAN applications that include a patch plate that uses double-sided 30 mil FR4 PCB with ½ oz. copper with a cross-shaped slot disposed on the patch plate and a feeding point and a grounding PCB with a top surface. The RF feeding cable has an outer conductor and an inner conductor that is a 50 ohm 086 RF coaxial cable that is used to feed the low cost patch antenna, a plurality of patch supports that include a plurality of plastic cylinders which are used to support the patch plate and a plastic radome to protect the low cost patch antenna. The low cost patch antennas and patch plates can also be assembled in a plurality of different configurations for different Access Points and MIMO applications.
