Abstract
A planar monopole antenna is provided. The planar monopole antenna comprises a ground plate, a radiating metal plate, and a multi-branch feeding metal plate. The multi-branch feeding metal plate is formed between the ground plate and the radiating metal plate, and has a single feeding point thereon. The radiating metal plate and the multi-branch feeding metal plate together can also be fabricated from a single metal plate by using a line-cutting or stamping technique, or formed on a same dielectric substrate by using a printing or etching technique. Thus, the planar monopole antenna is easy to construct at a low cost.

A planar monopole antenna, comprising:
- a ground plate having a via-hole;
- a radiating metal plate located above said ground plate and having a plurality of connection points;
- and
- a multi-branch feeding metal plate having a feeding point, located between said ground plate and said radiating metal plate, connected to said radiating metal plate through said plurality of connection points, and connected to said ground plate through embedding said feeding point in said via-hole and electrically connected to a signal source;
- wherein said multi-branch feeding metal plate and said radiating metal plate are substantially on a same plane.
A planar monopole antenna, comprising:
- a ground plate having a via-hole;
- a radiating metal plate located above said ground plate and having a plurality of connection points;
- and
- a multi-branch feeding metal plate having a feeding point, located between said ground plate and said radiating metal plate, connected to said radiating metal plate through said plurality of connection points, and connected to said ground plate through embedding said feeding point in said via-hole and electrically connected to a signal source;
- wherein said multi-branch feeding metal plate further comprises:
- a plurality of branch metal arms, each having a first end and a second end, said first end of each branch metal arm being connected to a corresponding connection point of said radiating metal plate;
- a connecting metal arm having two ends, the second ends of two outermost branch metal arms of said plurality of branch metal arms being connected to said two ends of said connecting metal arm, the first and second ends of remaining branch metal arms of said plurality of branch metal arms being connected to said radiating metal plate and said connecting metal arm respectively, and being located separately between said two outermost branch metal arms;
- and
- a feeding metal arm having a first end being embedded into said via-hole and electrically connected to said signal source, and a second end being connected to the center of said connecting metal arm.
