Planar Terminal Antenna Layout for Low-Profile Vertical Polarization

The patent transitions from a three-dimensional vertically extended antenna structure to a two-dimensional planar structure. The first and second radiators are arranged on the same plane (x-y plane) rather than extending in the z-direction, achieving vertical polarization through in-plane configuration with inductor components providing the necessary electromagnetic coupling without requiring height space.

The patent changes the electromagnetic parameter configuration by introducing inductor components between the first and second radiators. These inductors modify the current distribution and electromagnetic field characteristics, enabling vertical polarization to be achieved through inductive coupling rather than through vertical physical extension, thus changing the operational parameters to compensate for the reduced dimensional structure.

The inductor components serve as intermediary elements between the first and second radiators. These inductors mediate the electromagnetic interaction, creating the necessary vertical polarization effect through inductive coupling without requiring the radiators to be vertically separated. The inductors act as intermediate structures that enable the polarization capability while maintaining compact volume.

The antenna employs a composite structure combining radiating elements (first and second radiators) with reactive components (inductor components). This composite design integrates different functional elements - the radiators provide the basic radiation pattern while the inductors provide the necessary reactance and coupling to achieve vertical polarization, creating a composite structure that delivers both compact size and polarization capability.
