To suppress downward radiation of electromagnetic waves from an antenna unit.

An antenna unit to be used by being installed so as to face a window glass for a building, the antenna unit comprising a plurality of array antennas, wherein each of the plurality of array antennas has a plurality of radiating elements and at least one conductor situated on an interior side relative to the plurality of radiating elements, and where the effective wavelength of the plurality of array antennas at the operation frequency is λ, and an integer of 0 or more is n, the distance from the center of the upper radiating element among the plurality of radiating elements to the upper edge of the conductor in the up-and-down direction is (0.5+n)λ±0.22λ, as seen in a plan view of the antenna unit.

An antenna structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first antenna unit including a first radiator, a first transmission line connected to the first radiator, and a guide pattern disposed around the first transmission line and separated from the first transmission line, a second antenna unit at least partially covered by the guide pattern of the first antenna unit in a plan view, and a dielectric layer interposed between the first antenna unit and the second antenna unit. An antenna structure implementing low-frequency and high-frequency properties with high reliability is provided.

A printed circuit board having an AoX antenna array and a feeding circuit is disclosed. The AoX antenna array has patch antenna disposed on a top layer of the printed circuit board, while the feeding circuit is disposed on the bottom layer. The signal traces that connect the ports of the antenna unit cells to the antenna selection switches are routed so that all are roughly equal in length with a minimal length of parallel sections between signal traces. Thus, the signal traces in the feeding circuit are created so as to minimize phase difference between signal traces and to minimize coupling. Coplanar waveguides, which utilize blind vias are used to further reduce coupling.

An antenna array that utilizes ground guard rings and metamaterial structures is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the antenna array is constructed from a plurality of antenna unit cells, wherein each antenna unit cell is identical. The antenna unit cell comprises a top surface, that contains a patch antenna and a ground guard ring. A reactive impedance surface (RIS) layer is disposed beneath the top surface and contains the metamaterial structures. The metamaterial structures are configured to present an inductance to the patch antennas, thereby allowing the patch antennas to be smaller than would otherwise be possible. In some embodiments, the metamaterial structures comprise hollow square frames. An antenna array constructed using this antenna unit cell has less coupling than conventional antenna arrays, which results in better performance. Furthermore, this new antenna array also requires less space than conventional antenna arrays.
