The invention relates to an antenna and, in particular, to a dual band and broadband flat dipole antenna, which can increase the operation bandwidth of the antenna for applications in more countries or areas.
The prosperous development of wireless transmission industry has carried out various products and techniques for multi-band transmission, so that many new products have the wireless transmission function so as to meet the consumer's demands.
The antenna, which is used for radiating or receiving the electromagnetic wave, is an important component in the wireless transmission system. The wireless transmission system would not work normally such as radiating or receiving data if it lack of the antenna. Therefore, the antenna is indispensable in the wireless transmission system.
Choosing the suitable antenna not only can be contributive to collocate the appearance of product and to increase transmission characteristics, but also can decrease the production cost. Since the designing method and manufacturing materials are different when designing the antenna for varied application products, and the working frequency band are different in different countries, it is very critical for designing the antenna.
At present, the common specification of frequency band are the IEEE 802.11 and the IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth communication) etc, wherein the Bluetooth communication is worked at frequency band of 2.4 GHz. The 802.11 includes 802.11a and 802.11b standards, which are defined for the frequency band of 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz, respectively.
Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional dual band and dual dipole antenna includes two rectangular radiating metal sheets 11 and 12, and a coaxial line 13. The radiating metal sheets 11 and 12 have corresponding feeding points 111 and 121, and inverted-L splits 112 and 122, respectively. The feeding points 111 and 121 are electrically connected with the coaxial line 13, respectively. The rectangular metal sheets 11 and 12 are divided into a high frequency mode and a low frequency mode by the inverted-L splits 112 and 122, wherein the high frequency mode is from 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz, and the low frequency mode is from 2.4 GHz to 2.484 GHz.
However, there has different usable frequency band in different countries, especially to the IEEE 802.11a standard. The component of the antenna must adapt to the range of different bandwidth, and, for example, the output must be a high frequency band (5.47–5:725 GHz), 1 watt to adapt for all country channels in the Europe.
As mentioned above, the conventional dipole antenna only covers a part of the bandwidth, and the dipole antenna for application products, therefore, is unable to be applied in different countries because the available bandwidth is probably restricted in different countries or areas.
It is therefore a subjective of the invention to increase the operation bandwidth of a dipole antenna to adapt to the requirement for more country areas.
In view of the above, the invention is to provide a dual band and broadband flat dipole antenna, which can increase the working bandwidth and can be simultaneously applied in two different frequency bands.
To achieve the above, a dual band and broadband flat dipole antenna of the invention includes a first radiating body, a second radiating body, and a conductivity element.
The first radiating body has at least two first frequency-radiating parts, at least two second frequency-radiating parts, and a first electrically connecting part. The first frequency-radiating parts of the first radiating body and the second frequency-radiating parts of the first radiating body are extended from a side of the first electrically connecting part. The second frequency-radiating parts of the first radiating body are disposed between the first frequency-radiating parts of the first radiating body.
The second radiating body has at least two first frequency-radiating parts, at least two second frequency-radiating parts, and a second electrically connecting part. Each first frequency-radiating part of the first radiating body and the second radiating body has a first length and a first width, and each second frequency-radiating part of the first radiating body and the second radiating body has a second length and a second width. The first frequency-radiating parts of the second radiating body and the second frequency-radiating parts of the second radiating body are extended from a side of the second electrically connecting part with a direction reversing to an extending direction of the first radiating body. The second frequency-radiating parts of the second radiating body are disposed between the first frequency-radiating parts of the second radiating body.
The conductivity element has a conductivity body and a ground conductor. The conductivity body and the ground conductor are electrically connected with the first electrically connecting part and the second electrically connecting part, respectively.
As mentioned above, the dual band and broadband flat dipole antenna of the invention utilizes the first frequency-radiating parts and the second frequency-radiating parts to achieve the function of dual band and to achieve the function of broadband according to the structure and the configuration of the first radiating body and the second radiating body. Therefore, the usable range of bandwidth of the application products with the antenna of the invention is broadened, so that the application products with the antenna can be used in more countries.

In this embodiment, the conductivity body 331 is electrically connected with the first electrically connecting part 313, and the ground conductor 332 is electrically connected with the second electrically connecting part 323. Alternatively, the conductivity body may be electrically connected with the second electrically connecting part, and the ground conductor may be electrically connected with the first electrically connecting part (not shown). In this embodiment, the conductivity element 33 is a coaxial line. The conductivity body 331 is used as the core conductor of the coaxial line, and the ground conductor 332 is used as the external ground conductor of the coaxial line. Moreover, the connecting ways of the conductivity element 33 with the first radiating body 31 and second radiating body 32 may change based on the shape of the application products. It is the only concerned rule that the conductivity body and the ground conductor are electrically connected with the first electrically connecting part and the second electrically connecting part, respectively.
In this embodiment, the first electrically connecting part 313 further includes a first feeding point 41, and the second electrically connecting part 323 further includes a second feeding point 42.
