A small antenna comprises an antenna conductor, and a dielectric chip formed at surroundings of the antenna conductor by a plurality of resin moldings.

Small antenna and manufacturing method thereof

A line-shaped comprises an antenna element in which a strip-shaped conductor is bent in a width direction of a strip, and a chamfered portion is provided on an outer edge of a bent portion of the strip-shaped conductor.

Line-shaped antenna

Of margins of a resin molding with an antenna element buried therein which lie around the antenna element, a margin on that side of the resin molding where a gate mark remains is made larger than margins on other sides where there is no gate mark. Particularly, when the antenna element has a line antenna portion and a capacitance-adding portion provided at a distal end of the line antenna portion, the resin molding is injection-molded in such a way that a gate mark can be formed on that side where the capacitance-adding portion is located. Those portions of the resin molding where the terminal portions are led out are dented from levels of portions around those portions. This provides a chip antenna which has a simple structure with a high mechanical strength and does not prevent separation or cracking from occurring in the resin molding in which the antenna element is buried and a method of manufacturing the chip antenna.

Chip antenna and method of manufacturing the same

An antenna device includes a dielectric chip fitted to an aperture formed in an exterior casing of a terminal unit and having an outer surface thereof cooperating with an outer surface to form part of an outer surface of the terminal unit, and an antenna conductor embedded into the dielectric chip and disposed at a vertical position sufficiently far from a grounding conductor of a printed circuit board in the exterior casing.

Antenna device

A small antenna comprises a planar antenna element, and a resin molded body integrally molded with the antenna element, and the resin molded body has a thin part and a thick part on both sides of the antenna element, and a gate portion at a resin molding is provided to the thin part.

A compact antenna comprises a core which is a hard linear member having a predetermined shape corresponding to resonance characteristic, a conductor film which covers at least a portion of an outer surface of the core and which has higher electric conductivity than that of the core, and a substrate which closely surrounds and holds the outer surface of the core covered with the connection film. A film thickness of the conductor film is equal to a skin depth and thus, it is possible to inexpensively maintain reliability, and to prevent radiation efficiency from being lowered.

Compact antenna and producing method thereof

A chip antenna is fabricated by forming a conductor plate having main and auxiliary antenna elements with a spacing therebetween which are connected through coupling portions to a frame surrounding the antenna elements, the conductor plate being embedded in or stacked on a dielectric chip and being cut along side faces of the dielectric chip. The main and auxiliary antenna elements have inner end edge portions that are opposed to each other over the entire width of the dielectric chip to provide a constant opposed area, suppressing a variation in antenna performance.
