Dipole antenna structure with impedance matching element
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11962102B2) discloses a novel dipole antenna structure designed for improved performance across multiple frequency bands. The antenna structure includes a sheet of metal forming elements of the dipole antenna, with a first dipole arm tuned to a specific frequency band and a second dipole arm tuned to another frequency band. The second dipole arm is connected directly to the first dipole arm and is co-planar with it at a specific angle. An impedance matching element is coupled to the second dipole arm, formed at a different angle relative to the plane of the first and second dipole arms. Additionally, a cantilevered structure is integrated into the design to extend the arms away from the printed circuit board mounting point, enhancing the antenna's performance.
Furthermore, the patent details the configuration of the metal structure, including a ground connection and a feed connection connected to the impedance matching element. The design ensures efficient resonance at the respective frequency bands, with specific lengths and shapes for the first and second dipole arms. The cantilevered structure comprises an arm support beam and a cantilever beam, connecting to the second dipole arm and extending outward from the edge of the printed circuit board. The innovative design of this dipole antenna structure aims to provide enhanced performance and versatility for applications requiring multi-band frequency support, making it a valuable addition to the field of antenna technology.
