Circuit modules and methods of construction thereof that contain composite meta-material dielectric bodies that have high effective values of real permittivity but which minimize reflective losses, through the use of host dielectric (organic or ceramic), materials having relative permittivities substantially less than ceramic dielectric inclusions embedded therein. The composite meta-material bodies permit reductions in physical lengths of electrically conducting elements such as antenna element(s) without adversely impacting radiation efficiency. The meta-material structure may additionally provide frequency band filtering functions that would normally be provided by other components typically found in an RF front-end.

Dual Band Stacked Patch Antenna

One or more of the embodiments of a dual band stacked patch antenna described herein employ an integrated arrangement of a global positioning system (GPS) antenna and a satellite digital audio radio service (SDARS) antenna. The dual band antenna receives right hand circularly polarized GPS signals in a first frequency band, left hand circularly polarized SDARS signals in a second frequency band, and vertical linear polarized SDARS signals in the second band. The dual band antenna includes a ground plane element, an upper radiating element (which is primarily utilized to receive SDARS signals), dielectric material between the ground plane element and the upper radiating element, and a lower radiating element (which is primarily utilized to receive GPS signals) surrounded by the dielectric material. The dual band antenna uses only one conductive signal feed to receive both GPS and SDARS signals.

Multi-band radiating elements with composite right/left-handed meta-material transmission line

Dual-band and multi-band radiating elements are described based on composite right / left-handed (CRLH) meta-material transmission line (TL). These elements can operate as resonators and / or antennas depending on feed-line configuration. The radiating elements are based on the fundamental backward wave supported by a composite right / left-handed (CRLH) meta-material transmission line (TL). Unit-cells of the transmission line comprise conductive patches coupled through vias to a ground plane. The physical size and operational frequencies of the radiating element is determined by the unit cell of the CRLH meta-material. This radiating element is configured for monopolar radiation at a first resonant frequency and patch-like radiation at a second resonant frequency. The first and second resonant frequencies are not constrained to a harmonic relationship.

Microstrip antenna for an identification appliance

An identification appliance, such as a wristband, bracelet, patch, headband, necklace, card, sticker, or other wearable appliance, has an improved patch or microstrip antenna. The microstrip antenna comprises a conductive patch layer, a conductive ground layer and a dielectric layer in between the conductive layers. The microstrip antenna is mounted to or disposed in the identification appliance, where preferably the ground layer is closest to the user and the patch layer is furthest from the user. Electronic circuits may be located in the dielectric layer, on a surface of a conductive layer, or on another part of the identification appliance. Connecting holes through the dielectric layer may allow circuits to be connected to a conductive layer or layers. This improved antenna resolves detuning and communication degradation problems.

In one embodiment, electronic component is a resistor having a value that identifies the antenna properties. A table may be used to correlate resistor values to different types of antennas or sets of antenna properties. Alternatively, the circuit can be embodied in a microchip that provides a response to a challenge sent by the read mechanism. The response encodes the properties of the antenna. The encoding scheme includes values from the challenge. Alternatively, the response is a code that is indexed into a table of antenna properties. In one embodiment, the antenna is connectorized.
