Antenna Apparatus with Induction Heating Function
Antenna Apparatus with Induction Heating Function
According to an embodiment, an antenna apparatus with an induction heating function includes a housing, ground unit, patch unit, patch coupler, power supply unit, and controller. The housing is formed by coupling a base plate and a front cover, defining an internal installation space. The ground unit is fixed to the base plate within this space. A thin, metal conductor patch unit is positioned in front of the ground unit, with multiple patch units optionally included. Each patch unit is coupled to the base plate by a respective patch coupler in an electrically insulated state. The power supply unit includes a communication feeding module for supplying signal current to generate RF signals, and an induction power module to supply current for magnetic field generation in the ground unit.
