INTERNAL ANTENNA FOR HANDSET AND DESIGN METHOD THEREOF
Technical Field The present invention relates to an internal antenna for a handset, and
more particularly, to an internal antenna for a handset and a design method
thereof in which an inductive and/or capacitive element (Hereinafter, referred to
as "L/C element") is attached to a slot line of an internal antenna, or the
attached L/C element is moved along the slot line, or the L/C element having a
predetermined inductance/capacitance is attached and detached, thereby easily
matching a resonant frequency.
Background Art
In recent years, as a portable handset, such as a portable phone, a
portable digital assistance (PDA) and a wireless notebook computer, is being
popularized, a consumer's demand for a terminal having various functions and
designs is being increased. Accordingly, the portable wireless terminal is
being not only gradually miniaturized, light-weighted and simplified, but also its
importance of design is being more highlighted together with a function diversity. In order to satisfy the consumer's demand, the design of the antenna
1 RECORD COPY - TRANSLATION RO/KR 31.03.2005
essential to a handset body is of importance to the wireless handset.
The antenna is installed at one side of the handset body to function as a
media when a wireless signal is transmitted and received between the wireless
handset and an external wireless station. Therefore, the antenna is advanced
and used in various types such as a fix type, a retractable type, a mount type, a
rotary type, and a snap-in type so as to enhance a performance.
In particular, as the importance of the design is highlighted together with
the function diversity, a built-in antenna (Hereinafter, referred to as "internal
antenna"), which is wholly installed inside of the handset body without
protruding outside of the handset body, has been developed for the wireless
handset.
The internal antenna is installed inside of the handset body and
electrically connected on a main board to perform its proper function.
Compared with a conventional protrusive or external antenna, it is difficult to
design and manufacture the internal antenna.
Specifically, since the antenna body is wholly installed inside of the
handset body, it is very difficult to constantly maintain a frequency characteristic
in assembly and a frequency characteristic in a complete product whose the
handset body is entirely made airtight. Accordingly, there is a drawback in that the matching of the resonant RO/KR 31.03.2005
frequency deteriorates a productivity of the internal antenna.
Disclosure of Invention
Technical Problem Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an internal antenna for
a handset and a design method thereof that substantially obviate one or more of
the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
An object of the present invention is to provide an internal antenna for a
handset and a design method thereof in which a resonant frequency can be
easily matched.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an internal antenna
for a handset and a design method thereof in which the internal antenna having
a desired frequency characteristic can be easily designed and manufactured,
thereby stably maintaining a performance of the internal antenna while
enhancing productivity.
Technical Solution
To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the
purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described, there is
provided an internal antenna for a handset, characterized in that at least one RO/KR 31.03.2005
inductive (L) and/or capacitive (C) element (L/C element) is attached to a slot

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be
described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view illustrating an internal antenna for a handset and a
design method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1 , the internal antenna 100 includes a flat-shaped
antenna body 110 having a predetermined meander line formed by a slot 120.
In a general manner, the internal antenna 100 adjusts a length and a
width of the meander line of the antenna body 110 by using the slot 120, to
adjust a resonant frequency. For a minute adjustment, an inductive and/or
capacitive element (Hereinafter, referred to as "L/C element") 130 is attached
along the slot 120.
Specifically, the inventive internal antenna 100 includes the L/C element
130 for selecting an inductance (L) and/or a capacitance (C), to obtain a desired
frequency characteristic without a pattern limitation of the slot 120 and the
antenna body 110. Further, the L/C element 130 can be moved and adjusted along the slot RO/KR 31 .03.2005
120 to easily match the resonant frequency of the antenna.
Hereinafter, the inventive internal antenna for the handset and the
design method thereof are in detail described through modified examples below.
(1 ) Characteristic measurement when the L/C element is moved along
the slot.
FIG. 2 is a view illustrating measurement positions of the L/C element,
at which the frequency characteristic of the internal antenna is measured.
FIGS. 3 to 7 are views illustrating standing wave ratios (SWR) respectively
measured by moving the L/C element along the measurement positions of FIG.
In an experiment method, the standing wave ratios of the internal
antenna were measured with the inductive element having an inductance (L) of
1 nH and the L/C element attached at five points along the slot as shown in FIG.
2. FIGS. 3 to 7 illustrate the standing wave ratios of the internal antenna
where the L/C element is positioned at a measurement point 1 , a measurement
point 2, a measurement point 3, a measurement point 4 and a measurement
point 5.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the L/C element can be changed in position,
thereby easily adjusting the resonant frequency and not only easily adjusting a RO/KR 31 .03.2005
bandwidth at each resonant frequency, but also adjusting the number of the
resonant frequency.
(2) Characteristic measurement when the inductance and/or the
capacitance are/is varied at the same position of the slot.
FIG. 8 is a view illustrating the measurement position of the L/C
element, at which the frequency characteristic of the internal antenna is
measured depending on the variation of the inductance and/or the capacitance.
FIGS. 9 to 16 are views illustrating standing wave ratios respectively measured
by varying the inductance and/or the capacitance at the measurement position
of FIG. 8.
In an experiment method, the standing wave ratios of the internal
antenna were measured in case where the L/C element is not attached at the
measurement point 1 of FIG. 8 and in case where the L/C element having
different inductance (L) and/or capacitance (C) is attached at the measurement
point 1 of FIG. 8.
FIGS. 9 to 12 illustrate the standing wave ratios of the internal antenna
where the L/C element is not attached and in case where the inductive element
having an inductance (L) of 1nH, 10nH or 22nH is attached. Further, FIGS. 13 to 16 illustrate the standing wave ratios of the internal RO/KR 31.03.2005
antenna where the L/C element is not attached and in case where the
capacitive element having an capacitance (C) of 0.5pF, 2pF or 4pF is attached.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 and 13 to 16, the inductance and the
capacitance are varied, thereby easily adjusting the resonant frequency at a
frequency of 1 GHz and not only easily adjusting the bandwidth at each resonant
frequency, but also adjusting the number of the resonant frequency.
(3) Characteristic measurement when a plurality of L/C elements are
attached to the slot. FIG. 17 is a view illustrating measurement positions of the plurality of
L/C elements, at which a frequency characteristic of an internal antenna is
measured depending on the variation of the inductance and/or the capacitance.
FIGS. 18 to 20 are views illustrating standing wave ratios respectively
measured by varying the inductance and/or the capacitance at the
measurement position of FIG. 17.
In an experiment method, the standing wave ratios were measured with
two L/C elements attached to the slot of FIG. 17 and with the inductance (L) of
1 nH or 22nH set at the measurement point 1 and the capacitance (C) of 1 pF set
at the measurement point 2. In FIG. 18, the standing wave ratio of the internal antenna was RO/KR 31 .03.2005
measured with the L/C element attached only at the measurement point 1. In
FIG. 19, the standing wave ratio of the internal antenna was measured with the
L/C element having the inductance (L) of 1 nH at the measurement point 1 and
the capacitance (C) of 1 pF at the measurement point 2. In FIG. 20, the
standing wave ratio of the internal antenna was measured with the L/C element
having the inductance (L) of 22nH at the measurement point 1 and the
capacitance (C) of 1 pF at the measurement point 2.
As shown in FIGS. 18 to 20, the plurality of L/C elements are attached
and their inductance and capacitance are varied, thereby easily adjusting the
resonant frequency and not only easily adjusting the bandwidth at each
resonant frequency, but also adjusting the number of the resonant frequency at
a predetermined bandwidth.
Industrial Applicability As described above, the internal antenna for the handset and the
design method thereof according to the present invention facilitate the matching
of the resonant frequency, thereby not only facilitating the design and the
manufacture of the internal antenna having the desired frequency characteristic,
but also stably maintaining the performance of the internal antenna while
enhancing productivity. RO/KR 31.03.2005
