Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a switching antenna for automotive Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) communication. The switching antenna includes a substrate section, a radiating section having a plurality of radiators formed on the substrate section so as to be spaced apart from each other to provide a pattern signal, and a selective signaling section formed on the substrate section to selectively connect the radiating section to cause a radiation pattern of the radiating section to be one of directional and omnidirectional.
Claims17
A switching antenna for automotive Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) communication, the switching antenna comprising:
- a substrate section;
- a radiating section having a plurality of radiators disposed on the substrate section so as to be spaced apart from each other to provide a pattern signal;
- and
- a selective signaling section disposed on the substrate section to selectively connect the radiating section to cause a radiation pattern of the radiating section to be directional or omnidirectional,
- wherein on a plan view of the substrate section, the radiating section comprises:
- a first radiator connected to a lower portion of the selective signaling section;
- second radiators disposed on opposing sides of the selective signaling section to selectively connected to the opposing sides of the selective signaling section;
- and
- a third radiator selectively connected to an upper portion of the selective signaling section, surrounding the second radiators, and spaced apart from the first and second radiators, and
- wherein on the plan view, the lower portion and the upper portion of the selective signaling section are arranged in a first direction, and the opposing sides of the selective signaling section are arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction.
