Title:
SMALL ANTENNA UNIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/038354
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A small antenna unit in which directivity gain does not deteriorate even if an antenna element and a mounting component are arranged in close proximity to a metal surface. When an antenna element (101) is arranged in close proximity to a metal housing (102) substantially in parallel therewith, a high resistance film (104) is formed, by vapor deposition, on the surface of the metal housing (102) opposing the antenna element (101) in order to increase the surface resistance of the metal housing (102). When an antenna current i101 flows through the antenna element (101), a negative-phase current i102 flows through the high resistance film (104) on the surface of the opposing metal housing (102), but the negative-phase current i102 is dependent on the resistance of the high resistance film (104) and thereby the current component is suppressed to have a relatively small value. Since the apparent antenna current i101 has a large value, directivity gain G101 of the antenna element (101) is increased, thereby enhancing antenna performance.
