Abstract:
A multi-band antenna having a tuned antenna element is disclosed. The multi-band antenna may simultaneously transmit a first radio frequency (RF) and a second RF signal. The antenna may include a driven antenna element to radiate the first RF signal and a parasitic element to radiate the second RF signal. The parasitic element may be coupled to a ground plane through a tuning circuit. The tuning circuit may modify a resonant wavelength of the parasitic element according to the second RF signal.
Abstract:
Techniques for providing multiple antennas in a wireless device using a compact configuration to achieve good isolation and broad bandwidth. In an aspect, first and second monopole elements that may be separately driven are provided on opposite sides of a grounding strip conductively coupled to a common grounding structure. By capacitively coupling the first and second monopole elements to the common grounding structure, the effective resonator size of each monopole antenna is increased, thus achieving better performance for the antenna structure. Illustrative patterns for the common grounding structure and other antenna elements are further disclosed.
Abstract:
A multi-band antenna having an aperture tuner is disclosed. The multi-band antenna may simultaneously transmit a first radio frequency (RF) signal and a second RF signal. The aperture tuner may modify a resonant frequency associated with one or more antenna elements of the multiband antenna in accordance with the first RF signal or the second RF signal. One or more of the antenna elements of the multi-band antenna may be disposed above and/or substantially parallel to other antenna elements. In some exemplary embodiments, an air gap may be formed between one or more antenna elements.
