US 6,480,156 B2 · Inverted-F dipole antenna

Abstract

An inverted-F dipole antenna (1) for an electronic device includes a conductive antenna body (12), an antenna base (11), a connector (14) providing an electrical interface to an RF circuitry, and a cable (13) connecting the antenna body to the connector. The antenna body includes a first and second arms (121), (122) and a U-shaped portion (123) connecting the first and second arms. The antenna base includes an insulative board (111) and a metal sheet (112) attached to one surface of the board. The U-shaped portion of the antenna body is attached to a second surface of the board opposite to the metal sheet. The first arm serves as a radiation device.
