    Abstract: Examples of techniques for antenna ground and feed swapping in handheld applications are described. A condition with respect to wireless communication of a handheld apparatus having one or more antennas may be detected in determining whether to operate the handheld apparatus in a first mode or a second mode of wireless communication. In response to a determination to operate the handheld apparatus in the first mode, a first feeding port and one or more first shorting ports may be electrically connected to at least one antenna of the one or more antennas each disposed adjacent a first distal end of the handheld apparatus. Alternatively, in response to a determination to operate the handheld apparatus in the second mode, a second feeding port and one or more second shorting ports may be electrically connected to at least one antenna or another antenna of the one or more antennas.

    Abstract: A tunable antenna module for a mobile device includes an antenna, a frequency-division circuit and one or more impedance-tuning circuits. The frequency-division circuit is coupled to a radiator of the antenna for forming one or more signal paths for one or more of component frequencies of a radio-frequency signal of the antenna. One or more the impedance-tuning circuits are coupled to the frequency-division circuit for tuning an impedance of the antenna at one or more of the component frequencies of the radio-frequency signal.

    Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a first antenna element coupled to RF circuitry via a first feeder, and a second antenna element coupled to the RF circuitry via a second feeder. The first feeder and the second feeder have different shapes. The first antenna element and the second antenna element radiate in different frequency bands and in a direction parallel to a ground plane. The ground plane is disposed on at least one layer in a substrate that includes a plurality of layers parallel to one another. The first antenna element is disposed on first one or more of the layers and the second antenna element is disposed on second one or more of the layers, which are different from the first one or more of the layers. Another antenna assembly includes a first subarray of the first antenna elements and a second subarray of the second antenna elements.

    Abstract: An antenna with swappable and selective radiation direction includes a first arm, a second arm electrically connected to the first arm, a third arm is electrically connected to the first arm, a first impedance tuning circuit coupled to the second arm for connecting the second arm to a ground or a first matching component according to a control signal, and a second impedance tuning circuit coupled to the third arm for connecting the third arm to the ground or a second matching component according to the control signal. By tuning impedance of the antenna, the antenna operates in a first mode corresponding to a first radiation direction or a second mode corresponding to a second radiation direction.
