Abstract
An antenna apparatus includes a substrate and an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes a metal trace and a terminal. The metal trace has a modified Polya curve shape that is confined in a polygonal shape. The terminal is coupled to the metal trace.
Claims20
An antenna apparatus comprises:
- a substrate;
- and
- an antenna structure supported by the substrate, wherein the antenna structure includes:
- a metal trace having a modified Polya curve shape that is confined in a polygonalshape;
- and
- a terminal coupled to the metal trace.
3 more elements
An antenna apparatus comprises:
- a substrate having a plurality of layers;
- an antenna structure that includes:
- a first metal trace having a first modified Polya curve shape that is confined in a first polygonal shape, wherein the first metal trace is on a first layer of the plurality of layers;
- a first terminal coupled to the first metal trace;
- a second metal trace having a second modified Polya curve shape that is confined in a second polygonal shape, wherein the second metal trace is on a second layer of the plurality of layers;
- and
- a second terminal coupled to the second metal trace.
4 more elements
An antenna apparatus comprises:
- a metal trace having a modified Polya curve shape that is confined in a triangular shape, wherein a length-to-area ratio of the metal trace is approximately in a range of 4-to-1 to 7-to-1;
- and
- a terminal coupled to the metal trace.
