Abstract
Description
Claims (18)
- A planar antenna, characterised in that said antenna comprises a rectangular conductive element formed from two square elements, the square elements being defined within the rectangle by a centrally located return conductor, each said square element being connected at one end to a connector element, and at the other end to said return conductor, wherein the dimensions of the square elements are chosen so as to maximise gain for selected radio frequencies.
- An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the conductive elements are formed on a substrate.
- An antenna according to claim 2, wherein the substrate is a flexible film.
- An antenna according to claim 2 or claim 3, wherein the substrate is transparent.
- An antenna according to claim 1, wherein both square elements are electrically connected to the same connector element, and the return conductor is connected to an electrically separate connector element.
- An antenna according to claim 1, wherein said antenna further includes one or more additional square elements disposed within said square elements, each additional square element being connected to the respective square element at one end and being defined by the return conductor on one side.
- An antenna according to claim 6, wherein the conductive elements are formed on a substrate.
- An antenna according to claim 7, wherein the substrate is a flexible film.
- An antenna according to claim 7 or claim 8, wherein the substrate is transparent.
- An antenna according to claim 6, wherein both square elements are electrically connected to the same connector element, and the return conductor is connected to an electrically separate connector element.
- A method for providing conductive elements on a substrate, characterised in that the method includes the steps of:printing a conductor pattern onto a substrate, using conductive ink; andelectrodepositing further conductive material onto the printed conductor pattern, using the pattern formed from conductive ink as an electrode in an electroplating process.
- A method according to claim 11, wherein the substrate is flexible.
- A method according to claim 11 or claim 12, wherein the substrate is transparent.
- A method according to claim 11, wherein the conductor pattern is screen printed onto said substrate.
- A method according to claim 14, wherein a plurality of conductor patterns are printed onto said substrate, and after electrodeposition a protective film is applied to the conductor pattern.
- A method according to claim 15, wherein after the film is applied the substrate is cut to form a plurality of devices.
- A method according to claim 15 or claim 16, wherein the film is adhesive on both sides.
- A device including conductive elements formed by the method of claim 11.
