Abstract
An inverted-F antenna is disclosed. Due to the limited space in notebook computers, the invention utilizes the design of an inverted-F antenna to compute the path length of a dual-band or triple-band antenna open end, thereby designing a dual-band inverted-F antenna. The path length from the open end to the signal feed end is exactly ¼ of the wavelength of the waves that the antenna emits. For antennas of different frequencies, the path lengths also vary.

- a feed end, which is connected to a signal source for feeding in two voltage signals;
- a short end, which is connected to a ground for outputting the two voltage signals to the ground;
- and
- two radiation paths corresponding to the two voltage signals, respectively, each of which has an open end and a path length from the feed end to its open ends designed according to the frequency of the associated voltage signal, for radiating the corresponding voltage signal and receiving electromagnetic waves with the corresponding frequency, wherein the two voltage signals being transmitted back to the ground through the short end.
A triple-band inverted-F antenna designed along a radiation boundary of a notebook computer for receiving and transmitting radio signals, which uses as a dual-band antenna, the antenna comprising:
- a feed end, which is connected to a signal source for feeding in three voltage signals;
- a short end, which is connected to a ground for outputting the three voltage signals to the ground;
- and
- three radiation paths corresponding to the three voltage signals, respectively, each of which has an open end and a path length from the feed end to its open ends designed according to the frequency of the associated voltage signal, for radiating the corresponding voltage signal and receiving electromagnetic waves with the corresponding frequency, wherein the three voltage signals being transmitted back to the ground through the short end.
