A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888242B2) discloses an innovative antenna design that includes a first metal layer on a first substrate and a second metal layer between the first substrate and a second substrate. The antenna features cavities in both substrates that do not extend through the entirety of the material, allowing for modifications in the antenna's bandwidth by adjusting the positions, sizes, or patterns of these cavities. Additionally, the antenna includes through holes to enable radio frequency signals to pass through the layers.

Furthermore, the patent describes variations of the antenna design, such as symmetric arrangements of cavities on the substrates and specific orientations of the openings of the cavities. The design allows for flexibility in modifying the positions and sizes of the cavities to optimize the antenna's performance. By utilizing air cavities in the substrates and adjusting their configurations, the antenna can be customized to meet specific requirements for different applications, showcasing a versatile and adaptable design for improved wireless communication systems.
