DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to antenna technology, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a panel antenna. [Prior Art] Digital communication has become indispensable in the modern era, and the information is transmitted between various locations around the world. In particular, this field of wireless communication has developed rapidly in particular in this mobile telephone communication and or other computer-related wireless devices. Indeed, this is the growth of wireless communications, especially radio frequency (tetra) wireless communications, so that the spectrum used to transmit radio waves becomes more and more crowded. One of the most important points of any radio frequency (RF) system is that the appropriate antenna is designed to transmit and receive the required wireless data, but to be able to additionally meet the specific design needs of the application of interest. There are currently a number of different types of antennas to choose from, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. This RF (10)) antenna designer must try and choose the antenna that is most suitable for the relevant application type: for example, for mobile phone applications, this RF antenna designer typically seeks a compact antenna design with low power properties. In the field of = communication, its size, weight, and portability are important: this demand is generated. There are a number of different antenna geometries, such as standard bipolar or loop antenna configurations. ^ However, in the field of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, it is desirable to have an antenna that has certain properties, such as: small size, low profile: 5 200818606 and light weight. Such an antenna can be used as a transmitter, receiver, or transmitter receiver, and can be easily attached to a package that can be tracked or other mobile device. For this type of application, a microstrip antenna (mic (7) strip antenna) is often the most suitable. Such a microstrip antenna is often referred to as a patch antenna because it consists of a metal plate that covers the ground plate but is separated from the ground plate. In particular, such planar antennas are often fabricated by etching an antenna element pattern into metal traces that are bonded to an insulating substrate that separates the ground plane from the etched antenna elements. Other advantages of such an antenna are that it is easy to manufacture and mechanically strong. In addition, this panel antenna has the ability to be used for polarization diversity. This is in antenna technology. Another concept is: the so-called "electric short antenna, which is $' where the length of the electrical conductor of this antenna is physically short, and the antenna field is shorter than this antenna resonance. The wavelength of the frequency. Again, the edge of such a short line is a reduced size, which is particularly useful in the field of RFID tags or identifier antennas. :,,; and such a normal microstrip patch antenna still needs to be some The size of the signal is transmitted at a characteristic resonant frequency. This is particularly desirable to reduce the size of such an antenna attached to a device for tracking purposes. Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention aims to reduce the planar antenna. According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a dielectric antenna for transmitting a data antenna. The antenna includes a dielectric layer separated from a conductive layer. One of the dielectric layers of 200818606, wherein The conductive layer has a first portion connected to the capacitive element. The capacitive element advantageously makes the planar antenna appear to be electrically longer than the physical. This means that the antenna can be reduced At the same time, the antenna can still be operated at the same frequency. In addition, another advantage of the planar antenna is that the operating frequency of the antenna can be changed in inverse proportion to the value of the capacitive element. Therefore, for the antenna of the given size, The resonant frequency is reduced by increasing the value of the capacitive element. Wherein the capacitive element is preferably a plurality of capacitors. The plurality of capacitors are advantageously equally spaced to produce a more uniform electromagnetic field radiated by the edge of the antenna. 'The first part is preferably the first edge of the rectangular panel antenna. The 'the conductive layer preferably has a second portion connected to the ground plate. The antenna preferably forms the RFID attached to an object. One part of the label is such that the movement of the object can be tracked. According to another aspect of the present invention, a rectangular panel antenna comprising: a grounding plate electrically grounded; a conductive layer having an electrical conductor; a dielectric layer separating the ground plate from the conductive layer; and wherein the conductive layer has: a first edge connected to the ground layer; A second edge of a plurality of capacitors for enhancing edge capacitance. According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rectangular panel antenna comprising: a grounding plate electrically grounded; a conductive layer having an electrical conductor; and a grounding plate a dielectric layer separate from the conductive layer; and wherein the conductive layer 7 200818606 has a first-and second-radiation edge' each having a plurality of capacitors for reluctance of its edge capacitances. 1 shows a plan view of the basic panel antenna, and Figure 2 shows a side view of the antenna. In particular, the panel antenna shown in Figure i has a circular shape, but it should be understood that the panel antenna can also have other shapes, such as square

Indeed, the panel antenna according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a rectangular shaped portion. 1 and 2 show a planar antenna having: a ground plane component 100 at the bottom: a dielectric I 14 位于 on the ground plane; and a conductive layer 110 on the dielectric layer. In practice this flat panel antenna is typically printed on a circuit board and has a radiation pattern in any direction on the ground plane in the hemispherical region. The thickness of the dielectric layer 140 determines the distance separating the conductive layer n〇 from the ground plane component ι and this affects the bandwidth of the planar antenna. Generally, the thicker the dielectric layer, the larger the bandwidth. The size of the panel antenna can be reduced, but shortening the length of the conductive layer (i.e., the physical size of the panel) can affect its performance. Therefore, the resonant frequency of the 2-antenna operation increases as the antenna size decreases. It should also be understood that there is an inverse relationship between the physical size of the antenna and the resonant frequency of the antenna. That is, if the size of the plate is reduced, its resonance frequency will increase, and vice versa. When designing such a panel antenna for a certain resonant frequency, the performance is often degraded as the size of the panel decreases, but for the 8 200818606 RFID application, it is desirable to minimize the panel antenna. Dimensions while still achieving the proper performance. Figure 3 shows an expanded view of the geometry of a planar antenna in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the short planar antenna is a rectangular flat panel antenna having a ground plate 3A, a separate dielectric substrate 34A, and a top printed layer 310. This top layer 310 includes the conductor arrangement of the antenna 320 °. Figure 3 shows that one of the edges 35 of the top layer 3 10 has such vias that can be electrically connected to the ground plane 300. For example, the metal vias may be disposed in each of the holes formed in the dielectric layer, and one edge 350 of the top conductive layer 310 is connected to the ground plate 3〇〇 to effectively the antenna. The edge is shorted to ground. The top layer 3 10 is also shown to additionally include: a plurality of capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 located along opposite edges 360 of the top layer. These capacitors increase the edge capacitance of the panel antenna. The plurality of capacitors c 1 to C 6 shown in FIG. 3 are connected in parallel with each other. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, each of these capacitors C1 through C6 is coupled to the plate by grounding one of the plates and connecting the other plate to the conductive layer 310. The plates of the capacitor can be grounded by connecting the plate to an associated via, the via being mounted via an associated via 395 in the dielectric layer (e.g., with reference to Figures 9 and 13), and connected To the ground plate 300. According to the embodiment of Fig. 3, the capacitors c1 to C6 are located on the same side of the plate as the RF feed point 370. These capacitors are equally spaced along the edge of the feed point 370 of the flat surface. More than one capacitor is provided on each side of this feed point 9 200818606 such that current is evenly distributed along the edge 360 of the flat antenna. This advantageously allows for a uniform electromagnetic field distribution for the antenna. Dielectric layer 340 has a thickness of K6 mm and has an RF feed point that is positioned using impedance matching. Figures 6 through 9 show an embodiment in which one of the edges of the conductive layer 3 is shorted to the ground plane (as shown in the embodiment of Figure 3), while Figures 1A through 13 show an alternative embodiment, wherein The two opposite edges have connected capacitors (ie, no edge ground). In particular, Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the embodiment of the planar antenna of Figure 3 having an edge short circuit. Figure 6 defines various dimensions, such as the length L and width W of the conductive layer 31, and the thickness h of the dielectric layer 34A. Figure 7 shows a side view of the embodiment of the antenna shown in Figure 3, and particularly showing that one side is shorted to ground, and on the other side these edge fields produce an edge capacitance responsible for the radiation field. Figure 7 also illustrates the distribution of the electromagnetic field under this panel antenna. The edge capacitance can be artificially increased by adding a concentrated capacitor to this ungrounded edge, thereby increasing this end effect extension, thereby making it possible to reduce the physical size of the panel antenna. Fig. 8 shows the transmission line mode of the shortened rectangular panel antenna having an edge short circuit. L〇 is the length of the flat antenna, z 焱士士

The length L0 of the half-wavelength rectangular panel antenna can be calculated by the following formula: 10 200818606 2V?e A 0 Equation (1) where L0 is the length of the plate with a meter 矣A scale, and £r is the relative of the substrate. The electrical constant is also the wavelength in free space expressed in meters, and ΔL is the terminal effect extension expressed in meters. This shortened 1 / 4 oil storm. Half of the long-length flat-panel antenna is only half-wavelength antenna length. 〇 This terminal effect is delayed by 彡曰 _ _ A. This panel antenna is electrically longer than it actually is. Because of this effect, the physical length of this panel antenna is still shorter than the ^ wavelength. However, at the operating frequency (i.e., the resonant frequency), its electrical length is exactly 1/4 wavelength. This terminal effect extension is directly related to the capacitance at the capacitive edge 35〇 and can be represented by the following function: Equation (2) △ L = arctan(C6>Zn) β where C is the plate edge capacitance expressed in Faraday, ω is the operating frequency expressed as tha/s, and Ζ〇 is the characteristic impedance of the slab in ohms. By artificially increasing the capacitance in a lumped element capacitor (ci to C6), Equation 2 suggests that this end effect extension will become larger, thus reducing the physical length of the plate. This effect is shown in Figures 14a and 14b, which shows the plate (i.e., plan view) from the top. This solid line represents the physical length of the planar antenna (i.e., as made), and the dashed line represents the electrical length of the flat panel 200818606 antenna. Figure 14a shows that the size of the panel antenna is reduced without adding any capacitance, while Figure 14b shows that the physical size (length) of the panel can be further reduced by adding capacitance to the edge 360. That is, by adding capacitance to the circuit, the physical length (size) of the antenna can be dramatically reduced while still maintaining its electrical length of 1/4 wavelength. Or, in another

This is connected to the slot of the feed point 3 7 0 ' and the λ ^ ^ α has a first set of capacitors 13 急 and its opposite edge has a second set of capacitors 1 3 丨〇. Figures 10 through 13 show an alternate embodiment in which the two opposite edges have connected electrical switches. $ is a perspective view of the w 1G_ flat panel antenna in which the conductive layer 310 is not grounded. Rather, the conductive layer 31 has a length W, both of which have a plurality of connected electrons. This is not shown in Figure 10, but is shown in Figure 13, where, therefore, the two edges of the plate have capacitive edges, and this [Fig. 11 towel] shows the electromagnetic field radiated by the two edges. The distribution of this electromagnetic field gradually decreases toward the center of the plate. Figure i" shows the equivalent transmission line diagram for this embodiment, and both edges are capacitive edges. It should be understood that this can be extended to various flat panel geometries including but not limited to this shortened 1/ 4-wavelength panel antennas There are a number of different applications and fields of use for the planar antenna geometry described herein. Some of these applications and areas of use include: - in any RF point-to-point connection system, 12 200818606 _In any RF point-to-multipoint connection system, - any RFID tag, whether it is a passive or active tag, - any RF transmitter, receiver and / or transmitter receiver - any with this Sensor application for radio frequency link relay data. The panel antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention is designed in two stages. In the first stage, an electromagnetic simulation software such as Sonnet I·, Microware Studi, etc. is used. The desired frequency response of the analog antenna is shown by the frequency response desired by the antenna of the relevant analog set. In particular, 'Figure 4 shows the resonant frequency generated at approximately 435 MHz. The value of the capacitor C1 i C6 can be used to reduce the resonant frequency of the antenna. = 5 is a further representation of the same simulation of the small panel antenna according to the preferred embodiment 'but Figure 4 shows the frequency response. Figure 5 shows the impedance map. The second phase involves the fabrication of an antenna prototype that can be constructed, for example, using the usual RF_4 PCB material. The antenna is then calibrated and its good design criteria are: the smaller the plate component, the more capacitance the antenna needs to The desired resonant frequency operates. For an improvement in performance, consider an example where a panel antenna with a specified 1/4 wavelength reduction has a resonant frequency of @2 GHz. In contrast, this same size flat panel antenna, but With a concentrated capacitor introduced at its edge, 彳 operates at a greatly reduced resonant frequency, which is reduced by a factor of about 5 in the case shown in the diagram of Figure 4. Specific and b, Figure 4 shows no concentration The frequency response of the planar antenna of the capacitor has a resonant frequency of 40 435 MHz. 13 200818606 It should be understood that although Figure 3 is relatively flat; The Jiabei palladium case is provided with a substantially rectangular shape of a ten-plate antenna, and other shapes are also possible.
