A monopole antenna (14A) has an ultra wide band and is configured to be capable of receiving/sending at least a frequency modulation signal in an FM band which is a predetermined frequency band of which the reflection coefficient (S11) is less than −6 dB. If the monopole antenna (14A) is an ultra wide band type one, the monopole antenna (14A) can be used for various purposes such as cellular phones, Wi-Fi, TV, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast), or the like. Also ...

A radio is presented in which a short-range antenna, along with a speaker, is contained within a non-conductive speaker bracket. The antenna is a PIFA that is bent and extends through the speaker bracket so that the distance between the free end of the PIFA and various metallic components of the radio including the chassis and speaker is maximized. The structure containing the PIFA is flexible and also contains a contact area where feed/ground contact for the PIFA is made as well as contact for ...

A new type of multihole antenna which is mainly suitable for mobile communications or in general to any other application where the integration of telecom systems or applications in a single antenna is important. The antenna includes a radiating element which at least includes one hole. By means of this configuration, the antenna provides a broadband and multiband performance, and hence it features a similar behaviour through different frequency bands. Also, the antenna features a smaller size ...
