    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a patch antenna having sophisticated beam width characteristics. SOLUTION: As a first example, this antenna is provided with a patch element and a ground plane separated from the patch element by a first dielectric layer. Further, this antenna has a signal feeder separated from the ground plane by a second dielectric layer and the signal feeder is shielded from the patch element by the ground plane. The signal feeder is electromagnetically coupled with the patch element through an aperture placed on the ground plane across this signal feeder and the ground plane functions as a limited plane to the aperture. Further, as another style, the beam width of the antenna is controlled by controlling the position of a reflecting plate at the back of the signal feeder. Thus, the method is effective for various wireless systems in three-sector configuration with controllable wide beam width.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a patch antenna having an impedance converter. SOLUTION: Since the impedance converter connecting one end to a patch element and connecting the other end to a feeder through an earth face is used, impedance matching can be attained without being affected by the physical restriction of the patch element. In one mode, the patch element is formed on the surface of a 1st substrate, the earth face is formed on the surface of a 2nd substrate, the earth face is separated from the patch element by plural substrate layers, the converter is embedded between the substrate layers laminated between the patch element and the earth face, and a conductive via hole connects one end of the converter to a feeding point formed on the patch element. The patch antenna has also a coaxial feeder having an outer conductor connected to the earth face and an inner conductor connected to the other end of the converter and capable of transmitting a signal to/from the patch element through the converter.

    Abstract: A patch antenna (30) is described with enhanced beamwidth characteristics. In a first embodiment, the antenna comprises a patch element (32) and a ground plane (34) separated from the patch element by a first dielectric layer. The antenna further includes a signal feed line (36) separated from the ground plane by a second dielectric layer, the signal feed line being shielded from the patch element by the ground plane. The signal feed line is electromagnetically coupled to the patch element through an aperture (44) in the ground plane lying across the signal feed line, the ground plane functioning as a finite surface relative to the aperture. According to a further aspect of the invention, the beamwidth of the antenna is adjusted by adjusting the position of a reflector behind the signal feed line. Thus, the present invention provides an efficient way to achieve adjustable wide-beamwidth for various wireless systems in a three-sector configuration.
