Abstract
An antenna assembly includes a patch coupled to a first board, a conductive pattern coupled to a second board, a first connector electrically coupled to the patch, and a second connector to couple the conductive pattern to a circuit of the first board. The patch has a first section adjacent a first surface and a second section adjacent an opposing second surface of the second board, and the first connector electrically couples the first section to the second section of the patch. The assembly may include a plurality of antennas, and portable terminal may use the assembly to communicate in different frequency bands.
Claims18
A portable terminal, comprising:
- a body having a circuit board;
- and
- an antenna assembly coupled to the body and including:
- a first board,
- a first patch portion disposed on a first surface of the first board,
- a second patch portion disposed on a second surface of the first board,
- a first connection member to electrically couple the first patch portion to the second patch portion, and
- a conductor arranged within a predetermined gap from the second patch portion such that a capacitive coupling provided between the conductor and the second patch portion,
- wherein the second patch portion is connected to a ground portion of the circuit board by a ground wire for implementing a composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission line.
A portable terminal, comprising:
- a body;
- a circuit board provided at the body;
- and
- an antenna assembly provided at the body, and the antenna assembly includes:
- a first board,
- a first patch portion at a first surface of the first board,
- a second patch portion at a second surface of the first board,
- a first connection member to electrically couple the first patch portion to the second patch portion,
- a ground wire to connect the second patch portion to a ground portion of the circuit board and implement a composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission line, and
- a conductor that is spaced a predetermined distance from the second patch portion to provide a capacitive coupling between the conductor and the second patch portion.
