Patent ID: 8106833

Claim:
A miniature antenna, which is connected to at least one signal feeding line and at least one ground plane and is used for transmitting and receiving signals, comprising: at least one dielectric element made of a dielectric material, wherein the dielectric element has a first surface and a second surface opposite to said first surface; at least one electrically conductive first electrode layer, wherein the first electrode layer is fabricated on said first surface of said dielectric element, each said first electrode layer has a first terminal electrode which is fabricated on a lateral side of said dielectric element, and said first electrode layer is connected to said signal feeding line and said ground plane through said first terminal electrode; at least one electrically conductive second electrode layer, wherein the second electrode layer is fabricated on said second surface of said dielectric element, each said second electrode layer has a second terminal electrode which is fabricated on a lateral side of said dielectric element, and said second electrode layer is connected to said ground plane through said second terminal electrode, wherein each said first electrode layer partially overlaps said second electrode layer.
