Abstract

Provided is a method of improving a bandwidth of an antenna using a transmission line stub to enable long-range communication together with broadband matching. According to the method, it is possible to combine a transmission line stub in series or parallel with a feeding point, which is an antenna signal input/output point of a body serving as an antenna, and apply the transmission line stub to an antenna for wide use.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of adjusting a bandwidth of an antenna using a transmission line stub, the method being a method of adjusting a bandwidth of a body serving as an antenna and comprising:
combining the transmission line stub in series or parallel with a feeding point, which is an antenna signal input/output point of the body, and applying the transmission line stub to the antenna for wide use, wherein the transmission line stub is obtained by connecting a plurality of transmission lines having respective characteristic impedances corresponding to different lengths,
wherein the transmission line stub is obtained by connecting the plurality of transmission lines having the characteristic impedances corresponding to the different lengths in series to increase an impedance bandwidth of the antenna including the body and reduce a quality factor of an antenna impedance or an antenna admittance of the body.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of transmission lines of the transmission line stub connected in series is increased to reduce the quality factor of the antenna impedance or the antenna admittance.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a characteristic impedance is continuously changed by lengthening or shortening a length of the transmission lines of the transmission line stub connected in series to reduce the quality factor of the antenna impedance or the antenna admittance.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmission line stub is a 214 serial transmission line stub combined in series with the feeding point, and
a stub positioned between both ends of the serial transmission line stub has a larger strip width than other stubs positioned at the both ends thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission line stub is an open transmission line stub combined in parallel with the feeding point and includes:
first transmission lines having straight structures symmetrically extending in diametric directions of the body from the feeding point;
second transmission lines having arc structures extending along a circumferential direction of the body from ends of the respective first transmission lines; and
third transmission lines having meander strip structures formed along the circumferential direction at ends of the second transmission lines.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission line stub is a serial stub having one end that is open and having a length which is an odd-number multiple, or a serial stub having one end that is shorted and having a length which is an even-number multiple.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission line stub is a parallel stub having one end that is open and having a length which is an even-number multiple, or a parallel stub having one end that is shorted and having a length which is an odd-number multiple.

8. A method of adjusting a bandwidth of an antenna using a transmission line stub, the method being a method of adjusting a bandwidth of a body serving as an antenna and comprising:
combining the transmission line stub in series or parallel with a feeding point, which is an antenna signal input/output point of the body, and applying the transmission line stub to the antenna for wide use,
wherein the transmission line stub is a serial stub having one end that is open and having a length which is an odd-number multiple, or a serial stub having one end that is shorted and having a length which is an even-number multiple or the transmission line stub is a parallel stub having one end that is open and having a length which is an even-number multiple, or a parallel stub having one end that is shorted and having a length which is an odd-number multiple.
