Among them, the broadband antenna 1000 can switch to the corresponding target communication frequency band through the self-resonance and mutual coupling of the first antenna unit 102 and the second antenna unit 103. Thus, the full-band communication of the broadband antenna 1000 is achieved.

[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the antenna substrate 101 has opposite first side A and second side B in the length direction.

Thus, the wideband antenna 1000 can achieve frequency switching of multiple target communication frequency bands, thereby improving the convenience and applicability of the wideband antenna and meeting the wideband high-gain requirements.

[0038] Specifically, in the above embodiment of the present utility model, the wideband antenna 1000 can resonate at its own quarter wavelength through the first radiator 11, and extend the radiator size through the quarter impedance transformation of the microstrip asymptote 23 to generate resonance at 0.6 - 0.96 GHz. At the same time, the wideband antenna 1000 can also generate resonance at 1.4 - 2.7 GHz through the self-quarter wavelength resonance and mutual coupling resonance of the first V-shaped cut angle 21, the second V-shaped cut angle 22, the fourth radiator 14, the fifth radiator 14, the sixth radiator 16, the seventh radiator 17, the eighth radiator 18, and the ninth radiator 19. Additionally, the wideband antenna 1000 can generate resonance at 3.3 - 5.0 GHz through the self-quarter wavelength resonance and mutual coupling resonance of the first L-shaped cut angle 31, the second L-shaped cut angle 32, the second radiator 12, and the third radiator 13. Thus, the wideband antenna 1000 can meet the full-frequency band communication requirements.

[0039] In other words, in the above embodiment of the present utility model, through the self-resonance and mutual coupling between the first antenna unit 102 and the second antenna unit 103 integrated on the antenna substrate 101, frequency switching of multiple target communication frequency bands can be achieved, thereby improving the convenience and applicability of the wideband antenna and meeting the wideband high-gain requirements.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, the wideband antenna 1000 further includes: an antenna coaxial cable 106, and the antenna coaxial cable 106 is used to connect the antenna substrate 101 and the N-type connector.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present utility model, the antenna coaxial cable 106 can function to connect the antenna substrate 101 and the N-type connector, ensuring effective signal transmission and anti-interference ability between the antenna substrate 101 and the N-type connector, thereby further improving the accuracy of antenna performance testing.
