FIG. 1A is a top view of an antenna system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1B is a side view of the antenna system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B together. The antenna system 100 may be applicable to a communication device, such as a vehicle or a home security device. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the antenna system 100 at least includes a dielectric substrate 110, a ground plane 120, and a first antenna array 130. Each of the ground plane 120 and the first antenna array 130 may be a respective metal plane.


The dielectric substrate 110 has a first surface E1 and a second surface E2 which are opposite to each other. The first antenna array 130 is disposed on the first surface E1 of the dielectric substrate 110. The ground plane 120 is disposed on the second surface E2 of the dielectric substrate 110. The ground plane 120 may substantially have a rectangular shape or a square shape, but it is not limited thereto. The first antenna array 130 has a first vertical projection on the second surface E2 of the dielectric substrate 110, and the whole first vertical projection is inside the ground plane 120. In some embodiments, the dielectric substrate 110 is a single-layer board made of a Rogers RO4350B material. The dielectric constant of the Rogers RO4350B material may be 3.85, and the loss tangent of the Rogers RO4350B material may be relatively small, such that the antenna system 100 can provide relatively ideal operation characteristics. In alternative embodiments, the dielectric substrate 110 is made of different materials.


The first antenna array 130 includes a first transmission line 135, a first antenna element 140, a second antenna element 150, a third antenna element 160, a fourth antenna element 170, a fifth antenna element 180, and a sixth antenna element 190. The first transmission line 135 may substantially have a straight-line shape. For example, the first transmission line 135 may be a microstrip line. The first transmission line 135 is coupled in parallel to the first antenna element 140, the second antenna element 150, the third antenna element 160, the fourth antenna element 170, the fifth antenna element 180, and the sixth antenna element 190. The first antenna element 140, the second antenna element 150, the third antenna element 160, the fourth antenna element 170, the fifth antenna element 180, and the sixth antenna element 190 are all substantially arranged in a first straight line LL1. Specifically, any adjacent two of the first antenna element 140, the second antenna element 150, the third antenna element 160, the fourth antenna element 170, the fifth antenna element 180, and the sixth antenna element 190 have the same distance D1 therebetween. It should be noted that the term “adjacent” or “close” over the disclosure means that the distance (spacing) between two corresponding elements is smaller than a predetermined distance (e.g., 5 mm or the shorter). The first transmission line 135 has a first feeding point FP1, which may be substantially positioned at the central point of the first transmission line 135. In some embodiments, a positive electrode of a first signal source (not shown) is coupled to the first feeding point FP1, and a negative electrode of the first signal source is coupled to the ground plane 120, so as to excite the first antenna array 130.



FIG. 1C is a top view of the second antenna element 150 according to an embodiment of the invention. In the first antenna array 130, the first antenna element 140, the second antenna element 150, the third antenna element 160, the fourth antenna element 170, the fifth antenna element 180, and the sixth antenna element 190 have the same structures. It should be noted that FIG. 1C is exemplary to illustrate the detailed structure of the second antenna element 150, and the other antenna elements are not illustrated again herein (because they have the same structures). As shown in FIG. 1C, each of the first antenna element 140, the second antenna element 150, the third antenna element 160, the fourth antenna element 170, the fifth antenna element 180, and the sixth antenna element 190 includes a radiation element 152, a connection element 154, and an impedance adjustment element 156.

The impedance adjustment element 156 may substantially have a straight-line shape. The radiation element 152 is coupled through the connection element 154 and the impedance adjustment element 156 to the first transmission line 135.

FIG. 2 is a radiation pattern of the antenna system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. If the antenna system 100 is positioned at the original point, the radiation pattern of FIG. 2 may be measured on the XZ plane. The operation frequency of the antenna system 100 may be substantially equal to 24 GHz. According to the measurement of FIG. 2, the beam width BW of the antenna system 100 may be equal to about 160 degrees, and the gain of the antenna system 100 may be greater than 6 dBi within the beam width BW. It should be noted that if a 1×4 antenna array is used, the antenna gain may be often insufficient, and if a 2×4 antenna array is used, the radiation pattern may generate nulls. With the design of the invention, the antenna system 100 uses the 1×6 antenna array 130 instead, which is the best result based on many experiments, and it has the advantages of both high gain and large beam width.


In some embodiments, the element sizes of the antenna system 100 are described as follows. The length L1 of the radiation element 152 may be from 0.15 to 0.25 wavelength of the operation frequency of the antenna system 100, and may be preferably 0.21 wavelength.

The length L2 of the connection element 154 may be from 1.8 mm to 2.2 mm, and may be preferably 2 mm. The width W2 of the connection element 154 may be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm, and may be preferably 0.4 mm. The length L3 of the impedance adjustment element 156 may be substantially equal to 0.25 wavelength (λ/4) of the operation frequency of the antenna system 100. The width W3 of the impedance adjustment element 156 may be greater than the width W2 of the connection element 154. For example, the aforementioned width W3 may be 1.5 to 2 times the aforementioned width W2, but it is not limited thereto. The distance D1 between any two adjacent antenna elements of the first antenna array 130 may be from 2.2 mm to 4.2 mm, and may be preferably 3.2 mm. The above ranges of element sizes are calculated and obtained according to many experiment results, and they help to optimize the beam width and impedance matching of the antenna system 100.

For example, the first dielectric layer 311 and the fifth dielectric layer 315 may both be made of the Rogers R04350B material. The second dielectric layer 312, the third dielectric layer 313, and the fourth dielectric layer 314 may all be made of the FR4 material. In addition, the first metal layer 321, the second metal layer 322, the third metal layer 323, the fourth metal layer 324, the fifth metal layer 325, and the sixth metal layer 326 may be coupled to each other by one or more conductive via elements. When the dielectric substrate 310 is applied to the antenna system 100 of FIG. 1, the aforementioned first antenna array 130 may be formed by the first metal layer 321, and the aforementioned ground plane 120 may be formed by the sixth metal layer 326. With respect to element sizes, the total thickness H2 of the second dielectric layer 312, the third dielectric layer 313, and the fourth dielectric layer 314 may be about 2 to 3 times (e.g., 2.6 times) the thickness H1 of the first dielectric layer 311, and may also be 2 to 3 times (e.g., 2.6 times) the thickness H3 of the fifth dielectric layer 315. For example, the aforementioned thickness H1/H3 may be about 10 mil, and the aforementioned thickness H2 may be about 26 mil. According to the practical measurement, if the dielectric substrate 310 of FIG. 3 is used, the beam width and the gain therein relative to the antenna system 100 will be significantly improved.

The first antenna array 130 and the second antenna array 430 may be mirror-symmetrical. For example, the first antenna array 130 and the second antenna array 430 may be line-symmetrical with respect to their central line LS2. In some embodiments, one of the first antenna array 130 and the second antenna array 430 is coupled to a transmitter (TX), and the other of the first antenna array 130 and the second antenna array 430 is coupled to a receiver (RX).

In some embodiments, the distance D2 between the first antenna array 130 and the second antenna array 430 (or the distance D2 between the first transmission line 135 and the second transmission line 435) is longer than 3 wavelengths of the operation frequency of the antenna system 400, so as to increase the isolation between the first antenna array 130 and the second antenna array 430. Other features of the antenna system 400 of FIG. 4 are similar to those of the antenna system 100 of FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B.

This isolation can meet the requirements of practical applications of general antenna systems. For example, the practical applications include antenna systems used in the fields of military technology (including obstacle detection and through-wall detection but not limited thereto), car radar detection, car communication, live-motion detection, or life-signal detection (including the detection of heartbeat, breath rate, blood oxygen, and blood pressure but not limited thereto).

An antenna designer can fine-tune these settings or values according to different requirements, so as to satisfy the design requests. For example, the antenna array may be designed to operate at other millimeter-wave frequencies (e.g., 38 GHz, 60 GHz, 77 GHz, or 94 GHz, but not limited thereto) referring to the design rules or settings of the invention.
