LOW-PROFILE, MULTI-FREQUENCY, MULTI-BAND, CAPACITIVELY LOADED MAGNETIC DIPOLE ANTENNA

摘要

A DESIGN AND PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION FOR MULTI-FREQUENCY, LOW-PROFILE, CAPACITIVELY LOADED MAGNETIC DIPOLE (CLMD) ANTENNA (10) TO BE USED IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS. ONE COMPONENT OF THE CLMD ANTENNA HAVING ONE TO THREE METAL PLATES (12, 14, 16), AND ONE COMPONENT HAVING ONE TO N ELEMTNES. THE RANGE OF FREQUENCIES COVERED TO BE DETERMINED BY THE SHAPE, SIZE, AND NUMBER OF ELEMENTS IN THE PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION OF THE COMPONENTS. THE ANTENNA CONFIGURATION CAN ALSO BE ADAPTED TO EXPAND FREQUENCY BANDS COVERED BY THE ANTENNA OR TO FIT WITHIN SPACE RESTRICTIONS DICTATED BY SPECIFIC ANTENNA APPLICATIONS. THE ANTENNA (317) CAN ALSO INCLUDE INTEGRATED FILTERS (320) TO FURTHER TUNE THE ANTENNA FOR A SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
