The present invention discloses a miniature
broadband microstrip antenna mainly for solving the problem in the prior art that the
microstrip antenna is large is size and narrow in bandwidth. The antenna comprises a
radiation array (1), an upper-layer
dielectric substrate (2), a
metal grounding plate (3), a lower-layer
dielectric substrate (4), a
microstrip feeder line (5) and a
feed point (6). The
radiation array is located on the upper surface of the upper-layer
dielectric substrate and is connected with the
metal grounding plate via a
metal via hole (21) on the upper-layer
dielectric substrate, the metal grounding plate is located between the two
layers of dielectric substrates, the sizes of the
radiation array, the dielectric substrates and the metal grounding plate are same, and the microstrip
feeder line is located on the lower surface of the lower-layer
dielectric substrate and is connected with the
feed point. A rectangular slit (31) is etched on the metal grounding plate, by the rectangular slit, the electromagnetic energy is coupled to the radiation array from the microstrip
feeder line, at the same time, a plurality of work
modes are generated. The miniature
broadband microstrip antenna of the present invention has the characteristic of being good in
miniaturization, bandwidth and pattern characteristics, and can be used for the
wireless communication and
radar systems.
