Abstract
A printed circuit board (PCB) adopting an edge antenna which designs an antenna pattern in an edge region of the PCB to generate a beam pattern generated from the antenna pattern not in a vertical direction to an antenna plane but in a lateral direction of the PCB, thereby enabling face-to-face communication between large-area battery packs laterally adjacent to each other, and a battery including battery packs having the PCB.
Claims12
A printed circuit board (PCB) comprising:
- a plurality of layers, including an antenna pattern layer, a feed layer, an insulating layer interposed between the antenna pattern layer and the feed layer, and a ground layer positioned at a side of the feed layer opposite the insulating layer;
- an antenna pattern positioned along at least part of one edge of the antenna pattern layer;
- and
- one or more vias penetrating the insulating layer in a vertical direction and vertically connecting the antenna pattern and the feed layer,
- wherein the antenna pattern is configured to generate a beam pattern in a direction toward an outer side of the edge of the antenna pattern layer.

A PCB comprising:
- a plurality of layers, including an antenna pattern layer, a feed layer, an insulating layer interposed between the antenna pattern layer and the feed layer, and a ground layer positioned at a side of the feed layer opposite the insulating layer;
- an antenna pattern positioned along two adjacent edges of the antenna pattern layer;
- and
- one or more vias penetrating the insulating layer in a vertical direction and vertically connecting the antenna pattern and the feed layer,
- wherein the antenna pattern is configured to generate a beam pattern in a direction toward respective outer sides of the two adjacent edges of the antenna pattern layer.
