Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A printed antenna comprising: an insulator substrate having opposite surfaces thereon; a grounded conductor layer provided on one surface of said insulator substrate having a window cut out in said conductor layer, said window having a length in a lengthwise direction of the conductor layer; a strip antenna element provided on said one surface of said insulator substrate and disposed within said window; a transmission line provided on the opposite surface of said insulator substrate and arranged perpendicular to and spaced apart in the lengthwise direction from said strip antenna element; and a strip conductor provided as a probe for supplying power from said transmission line to said strip antenna element, said strip conductor being arranged in the lengthwise direction and disposed on said opposite surface of said insulator substrate having a first end spaced apart by a gap in proximity to said transmission line and a second end overlapped with said strip antenna element on said one surface of said insulator substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
163 words
A printed antenna comprising: an insulator substrate having opposite surfaces thereon; a grounded conductor layer provided on one surface of said insulator substrate having a window cut out in said conductor layer, said window having a length in a lengthwise direction of the conductor layer; a strip antenna element provided on said one surface of said insulator substrate and disposed within said window; a transmission line provided on the opposite surface of said insulator substrate and arranged perpendicular to and spaced apart in the lengthwise direction from said strip antenna element; and a strip conductor provided as a probe for supplying power from said transmission line to said strip antenna element, said strip conductor being arranged in the lengthwise direction and disposed on said opposite surface of said insulator substrate having a first end spaced apart by a gap in proximity to said transmission line and a second end overlapped with said strip antenna element on said one surface of said insulator substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A printed antenna according to claim 1, wherein said strip antenna element has first and second ends and extends in the lengthwise direction partially superimposed in parallel with said strip conductor, and the first and second ends of said strip conductor are each disposed closer in distance to said transmission line than the respective first and second ends of said strip antenna element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A printed antenna according to claim 1, wherein said strip conductor is arranged in the same plane as said transmission line with its first end spaced apart by a gap from said transmission line.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
A printed antenna according to claim 1, wherein an insulator layer is interposed between said strip conductor and said transmission line and the first end of said strip conductor is overlapped with but spaced apart from said transmission line by said insulator layer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A printed antenna according to claim 1, further comprising a slot antenna element formed in said grounded conductor layer spaced apart from said window and arranged perpendicular to said transmission line for generating a circularly polarized wave.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A printed antenna according to claim 1, further comprising a reflector plate spaced apart from said strip conductor on said opposite surface of said insulator substrate.
