[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The present invention provides a directional radiating microstrip antenna, comprising a ceramic dielectric board 2, a PCB board 1, and a reflective floor 3. A first wall surface of the PCB board 1 is connected to the top wall of the ceramic dielectric board 2, and a second wall surface of the reflective floor 3 is connected to the bottom wall of the ceramic dielectric board 2. Two first circular radiating patches 12 are provided on the first wall surface of the PCB board 1, and a second circular radiating patch 11 is provided on the second wall surface of the PCB board 1. The second circular radiating patch 11 is coupled and fed with the two first circular radiating patches 12. The two first circular radiating patches 12 and the second circular radiating patches 11 are coupled and fed to stimulate the resonance of the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal. The combination of the ceramic dielectric board 2 and the PCB board 1 effectively reduces the antenna's size, expands the beamwidth, and achieves miniaturization of the microstrip antenna. The reflective floor 3 is provided on the bottom wall of the ceramic dielectric board 2 to reflect the Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz radiation energy generated by the coupled feeding of the two first circular radiating patches and the second circular radiating patch, thereby achieving directional radiation of the antenna.

[0036] Furthermore, a power divider 31 and a feed network are provided on the second wall of the reflective floor 3. The power divider 31 divides the feed network into a first feed branch 32 and a second feed branch 33. A first probe 4 is provided on the first feed branch 32, and a second probe 5 is provided on the second feed branch 33. The first probe 4 and the second probe 5 pass through the ceramic dielectric plate 2 and couple with the two first circular radiating patches 12 for power feeding. Using the power divider 31 and the antenna to share the reflective floor 3 effectively reduces the thickness of the antenna, making the structure more compact, facilitating product miniaturization, and facilitating processing and production. Specifically, the power divider 31 is a one-to-two power divider, which divides the feeding network into a first feeding branch 32 and a second feeding branch 33. The first feeding branch 32 and a first circular radiation patch 12 are connected through the first probe 4, and the second feeding branch 33 and another first circular radiation patch 12 are connected through the second probe 5, thereby stimulating the 2.4GHz-2.5GHz frequency band resonance of WIFI.

[0038] Furthermore, the ceramic dielectric plate 2 is provided with a first through hole 21 for the first probe 4 to pass through and a second through hole 22 for the second probe 5 to pass through. The first through hole 21 and the second through hole 22 are both circular holes with a radius of 0.6 mm.

[0039] Furthermore, the PCB board 1 is a square board with a side length of 30 mm, and the diameter of the second circular radiation patch 11 is 25.3 mm.

[0040] Furthermore, the diameter of the first circular radiation patch 12 is 6 mm.

[0041] Furthermore, a copper layer 34 is provided on the first wall surface of the reflective floor 3. It should be noted that the feed network is provided on the front surface of the reflective floor 3, while the copper layer 34 is formed by copper cladding on the back surface of the reflective floor 3. This layer is used to reflect the resonance of the Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz signal, acting as a reflector and directionalizing the antenna radiation upward.

[0042] Furthermore, the ceramic dielectric plate 2 is a square plate with a side length of 30 mm, and the thickness of the ceramic dielectric plate 2 is 3 mm.

[0043] Furthermore, the reflective floor 3 is a square plate with a side length of 40 mm.

[0044] Furthermore, the dielectric constant εr of the ceramic dielectric plate 2 is 8.34, the loss Loss is 0.00030, and τf is -43.6 (ppm / °C).

As can be seen from the results in the figure, the efficiency of the antenna in the 2.4GHz-2.5GHz frequency band is greater than 75%, which can meet the needs of consumer electronics in the industry.
