1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of installing antennas, and especially to a method of manufacturing a plurality of antennas of different bandwidths and sticking the same on an inner layer of the housing of a notebook.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Following fast development of the wireless communication technique, various wireless communication systems has their respective applicable ranges of frequency. The ranges of frequency of the notable Global Positioning System (GPS) are: L1 band using 1575.42 MHz, L2 band using 1227.60 MHz; the range of frequency of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is: 890˜960 MHz; the range of frequency of Digital Communication System (DCS) is 1710˜1880 MHz; the range of frequency of Personal Communication Service (PCS) is 1850˜1990 MHz; the range of frequency of Integration of Mobile and Fixed Network (IMT-2000 (3G)) is 1920˜2170 MHz; the range of frequency of the Bluetooth is 2440˜2484 MHz (IEEE 802.11b); and the range of frequency of the Ultra Wideband Communication (UWB) is 3.1˜10.6 MHz. (Note: these ranges of frequency may be slightly different in pursuance of different districts).
By the fact that each kind of wireless communication system has its own range of frequency, the equipment of mobile communication must uses matched antennas designed in accordance with their own ranges of frequency.
And following large increasing of ability of notebooks in the present days, the notebooks can be in the built-in type applicable to all the mobile communication equipment; to meet different wireless communication systems, there must be various antennas in order to be provided in the housings of notebooks. Under the requirement of compactness on notebooks, the antennas installed in the notebooks mainly are planar antennas.
The method of installation of an antenna in a conventional notebook is to make a planar antenna from metallic sheets, and then to fix the antenna in the housings of the notebook, for instance in a housing around a display screen, by using fixing means such as using screws.
Such a method of installation must induces increasing of working hour for installation process when an antenna is applied to a plurality of ranges of frequency; and by the fact that the fixing means such as using screws makes a notebook thicker and heavier, it is contrary to the requirement for compactness, thus improvement is wanted.
In view of the defects resided in the method of installation of notebook antennas of the conventional notebooks, the present invention provides a brand new technique of antenna installation that can make easy and fast installation of a plurality of antennas with different ranges of frequency, and can reduce cost and thickness and weight of notebooks.
The method of installation of notebook antennas of the present invention is mainly to design to use a mode of manufacturing labels to make groups of or integrate antennas required by the notebook, thus a label type antenna is made; then the label type antenna is stuck and fixed on an inner layer of the housing of the notebook.
The method of installation of notebook antennas of the present invention can combine signal lines of each antenna into one soft bus line in favor of connecting to one of various kinds of communication equipment.
The method of installation of notebook antennas of the present invention can make an antenna with a monolayer or multiple layers.
The method of installation of notebook antennas of the present invention can further have the antennas left with at least an opening to make spaces for peripheral equipment (such as a camera module, a set of horns etc.) of the notebook.
The present invention will be apparent after reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.
The method of installation of notebook antennas of the present invention includes the following steps:
Referring to
In
In installation by the method of the present invention, it needs only to stick the label type antenna made on their respective correct places to complete the installation, and no fixing means such as using screws is required; this will make antenna installation very easy and fast, and can reduce cost and thickness and weight of notebooks.
And more, the steps of manufacturing a label of the present invention are:
In practical installation, the releasing paper on the label type antenna is torn off and stuck on an inner layer of the housing of the notebook.
In manufacturing the label type antenna of the present invention, the label type antenna can be provided further with at least an opening 21a to leave a space for the peripheral equipment (such as a camera module, a set of horns etc.) of the notebook of the present invention. And each antenna of the label type antenna is connected respectively to a signal line, and all the signal lines of the label type antenna can be combined into one soft bus line in favor of connecting different communication equipment. The label type antenna of the present invention can be a structure with a monolayer or multiple layers.
Referring to
The preferred embodiment is only for illustrating the present invention, and not for giving any limitation to the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in this art that various modifications or changes such as increasing or reducing of the amount of planar antenna or positions allocated for them shall also fall within the scope of the appended claims.
