Eight-frequency-band antenna
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an eight-band antenna, and more particularly, to an eight-band antenna with improved low frequency response and increased high frequency bandwidth.
Background
A conventional dual-band Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) is manufactured by directly printing a metal copper material on a printed circuit board (pcb) by a two-dimensional pcb (printed circuit board) technique to form a Planar multi-band Antenna, or by stamping a metal sheet to form a three-dimensional multi-band Antenna.
The antenna can achieve the multi-band transceiving effect by changing the two-dimensional radiator pattern of the printed circuit board or changing the geometric shape of the three-dimensional radiator punched by the metal sheet. However, in order to satisfy the quality of signal transmission and reception and avoid frequency tuning misalignment caused by the influence of the surrounding environment, the radiator of the antenna formed on the printed circuit board or the antenna formed by stamping the metal sheet must have a specific volume, and in order to install the PIFA antenna structure having a specific volume, an appropriate space must be reserved inside the electronic device for installing the PIFA antenna structure, which is contrary to the requirement of the electronic device for a slim and compact design.
Under the continuous advancement of technology, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a radiator of an antenna is fabricated on a square carrier made of ceramic material, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, a surface of a carrier 101 of the antenna 10 has a radiator of a high frequency band 102 and a low frequency band 103 for transmitting and receiving signals, and the carrier 101 is fixedly connected to the printed circuit board 20, and two surfaces of the printed circuit board 20 respectively have a grounding metal surface 201, a signal feeding microstrip line 202 and a grounding line 203. The signal feed-in microstrip line 202 and the ground line 203 are electrically connected to the radiator of the carrier 101. Since the high band 102 is located at the right side of the carrier 101 and the low band 103 is located at the left side of the carrier 101, after the antenna 10 is electrically and fixedly connected to the printed circuit board 20, the area of the ground metal surface 201 of the printed circuit board 20 corresponding to the low band 103 is larger than the area of the ground metal surface 201 corresponding to the high band 102, so that the low band 102 is more affected by the ground shield, the frequency response of the low band 103 is deteriorated during communication (as indicated by symbol a in fig. 2), and the bandwidth of the high band 102 is also not wide enough (limited to 6 bands, as indicated by symbol B in fig. 2), so that the quality of transmitting and receiving signals of the whole antenna is reduced, and the bandwidth of transmitting and receiving signals is limited.
