Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an asymmetric antenna structure. An example antenna device generally includes a first antenna element, a second antenna element, and a flexible coupling element asymmetrically positioned between surfaces of the first and second antenna elements and electrically coupling the first antenna element to the second antenna element.
Claims15
An antenna device, comprising:
- a first antenna element;
- a second antenna element;
- and
- a flexible coupling element asymmetrically positioned between surfaces of the first and second antenna elements and electrically coupling the first antenna element to the second antenna element.
1 more element
A method of fabricating an antenna device, comprising:
- forming at least one flexible coupling layer disposed above a substrate layer;
- forming a conductive layer disposed above the at least one flexible coupling layer;
- cutting a first cavity in at least the conductive layer to define a first antenna element region on one side of the first cavity and a second antenna element region on another side of the first cavity;
- and
- cutting a second cavity in at least the substrate layer between the first antenna element region and the second antenna element region, such that the first cavity and second cavity have different depths and the at least one flexible coupling layer is asymmetrically positioned between surfaces of the first and second antenna element regions.
