摘要: A wrist-worn electronic device comprises a bezel, an antenna, and an aperture tuning network. The bezel is formed at least partially from electrically conductive material and positioned along a side wall of a housing of the device. The antenna includes a first aperture and a second aperture which are formed by various portions of the bezel. The antenna is configured to operate in one of two operating modes including a dual band mode in which the first aperture receives a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) wireless signal at a first frequency band and the second aperture receives a second GNSS wireless signal at a second frequency band, and a single band mode in which the first aperture and the second aperture each receive the first GNSS wireless signal. The aperture tuning network has an adjustable configuration wherein adjustment of the adjustable configuration changes the operating mode of the antenna.

摘要: A dual-band antenna assembly for use with an electronic device comprises a substrate and first, second, third, and fourth antenna filar elements. The substrate includes a side wall forming a cylindrical shape. The first, second, third, and fourth antenna filar elements are positioned diagonally on the side wall and equally separated from one another. Each antenna filar element includes a first arm configured to receive wireless signals in a first frequency band and a second arm electrically connected to the first arm, positioned adjacent to the first arm, and configured to receive wireless signals in a second frequency band. The first arm has a length that is greater than a length of the second arm and has a portion which wraps around the second end of the second arm thereby capacitively coupling the portion of the first arm with the second arm.

摘要: A wrist-worn electronic device comprises a housing, a bezel, a location determining element, a communication element, and four antennas. The housing includes a bottom wall contacting a wearer's wrist and a side wall coupled to the bottom wall. The bezel is formed at least partially from electrically conductive material and positioned along an upper edge of the side wall. Two antennas receive a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) location signals at a first frequency and a second frequency that are used by the location determining element, each antenna including a radiating element formed by a portion of the circumference of the bezel. Two antennas transmit or receive communication protocol wireless signals at a third frequency and a fourth frequency output by or communicated to the communication element, each antenna including a radiating element formed by a portion of the circumference of the bezel.

摘要: An electronic device comprises a housing, a frame, a location determining element, and a first antenna. The housing includes an internal cavity, a lower wall configured to contact a wearer's wrist, and a first side wall coupled to the lower wall. The first side wall includes an inner surface. The frame has a second side wall which includes an outer surface. The frame is positioned within the housing such that the internal cavity is formed partly by the lower wall and the second side wall. The location determining element is configured to determine a current geolocation of the electronic device based on a location signal. The first antenna is configured to receive the location signal. The first antenna is positioned between the inner surface of the first side wall and the outer surface of the second side wall and extends along a first portion of the perimeter of the frame.

摘要: A wrist-worn electronic device configured to transmit and receive wireless signals in two frequency bands comprises a bezel loop antenna, first and second signal processing elements, a diplexer, and a tuning element. The bezel loop antenna has a first impedance and is configured to wirelessly receive first and second electronic signals simultaneously. The first and second signal processing elements process the first electronic signal having a frequency in a first frequency band and the second electronic signal having a frequency in a second frequency band. The diplexer is configured to receive the first and second electronic signals and output the first electronic signal to the first signal processing element and the second electronic signal to the second signal processing element. The tuning element has a second impedance causing the bezel loop antenna to wirelessly receive electronic signals in the first frequency band and electronic signals in the second frequency band.

摘要: A wrist-worn electronic device comprises a housing, a printed circuit board, a location determining element, a first electrically conductive element, a second electrically conductive element, and a first loop antenna. The housing includes a side wall formed at least in part from an electrically conductive material and including an isolation portion formed from non-conductive material extending from an upper edge of the side wall to a lower edge of the side wall. The printed circuit board retains a first and second signal terminals. The location determining element receives a first electronic signal from the first signal terminal. The first loop antenna is formed by the first electrically conductive element, the second electrically conductive element, a first portion of a perimeter of the side wall, and a first circumferential portion of the printed circuit board.
