ANTENNA MODULE AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18539314 titled 'ANTENNA MODULE AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The antenna module described in the patent application includes a dielectric substrate, a ground electrode, a radiating element, a peripheral electrode, and a parasitic element. The radiating element emits radio waves in two polarization directions, while the peripheral electrode is electrically connected to the ground electrode and the parasitic element is positioned away from the radiating element.

  • Dielectric substrate with long and short sides
  • Radiating element facing ground electrode
  • Peripheral electrode along long side, connected to ground electrode
  • Parasitic element along short side, away from radiating element
  • Radiating element emits radio waves in two polarization directions
  • Shortest distance between radiating element and parasitic element greater than distance between radiating element and peripheral electrode

Unanswered Questions

How does the positioning of the parasitic element affect the overall performance of the antenna module?

The positioning of the parasitic element plays a crucial role in shaping the radiation pattern and impedance matching of the antenna. By being placed away from the radiating element, it can help in controlling the directionality and gain of the antenna.

What materials are typically used in the construction of dielectric substrates for antenna modules?

Dielectric substrates for antenna modules are commonly made from materials such as ceramic, FR4, or Rogers materials, which offer good electrical properties and mechanical stability for optimal antenna performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

An antenna module including a dielectric substrate having a long side and a short side, a ground electrode, a radiating element, a peripheral electrode, and a parasitic element. The radiating element is disposed to face the ground electrode. The peripheral electrode is disposed along the long side of the dielectric substrate and is electrically connected to the ground electrode. The parasitic element is disposed along the short side of the dielectric substrate and is disposed away from the radiating element. The radiating element is configured to emit radio waves in two polarization directions along the long side and the short side of the dielectric substrate. The shortest distance between the radiating element and the parasitic element is greater than the shortest distance between the radiating element and the peripheral electrode.
