Antenna device with linear conductor for positioning and coupling
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888227B2) discloses an innovative antenna device designed with a dielectric substrate, a patch antenna featuring a radiating element and ground conductor, and a supporting member. The unique aspect of this antenna device lies in the inclusion of a linear conductor that fixes the relative position between the antenna device and the supporting member in a direction orthogonal to the normal direction of the dielectric substrate. This linear conductor is configured to be electromagnetically coupled with the patch antenna, enhancing the overall functionality and performance of the antenna.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail various configurations and implementations of the antenna device, such as the positioning of the linear conductor parallel to the radiating element, insertion of the linear conductor in concave portions on the supporting member or dielectric substrate, and the use of a low permittivity member to optimize performance. The antenna device is designed to resonate in a frequency band from 20 GHz to 300 GHz, making it suitable for a wide range of communication applications. Additionally, the patent extends to cover a communication device incorporating the antenna device, showcasing its potential for integration into various technological solutions. Overall, the patented antenna device presents a novel approach to antenna design, offering improved performance and versatility for communication systems.
