Abstract
The planar multi-directional antenna mainly contains a flat casing and a double-layered circuit board housed inside the casing. The circuit board's two major sides are patterned in a symmetrical manner and traces are routed and extended along the circumference of the circuit board for producing multi-directional reception field pattern. A raised metallic plate is configured in the center on a first major side for avoiding the coupling effect from current converging in the center and for overcoming the dielectric loss by using air. A ferrite core is configured at the feeding terminal of the antenna as a means of impedance conversion. A SMD inductor and a SMD capacitor are provided on the other major side for increasing the antenna's capability of receiving signals of larger wavelength.
Claims3
A planar multi-directional antenna, comprising a casing and a circuit board housed inside said casing, wherein
- a metallic plate is provided in the center on a first major side of said circuit board;
- traces on both major sides of said circuit board are routed from said metallic plate and extended along the circumference of said circuit board;
- a ferrite core is provided at a feeding terminal to said antenna for impedance conversion;
- and
- at least a SMD inductor and a SMD capacitor is provided on the other major side of said circuit board for receiving signals of larger wavelength so that said antenna is able to receive signals of lower VHF frequencies.
