An wireless communication device has a housing with an exterior surface that is designed to face a user when the wireless communication device is transmitting a radio frequency signal. The communication device includes an antenna disposed inside the housing for emitting a radio frequency signal. A metal-dielectric structure resonates to reflect the radio frequency signal. The metal-dielectric structure is located between the antenna and the exterior surface at a position wherein he metal-dielectric structure traps and reflects the radio frequency signal thereby reducing a specific absorption rate of the wireless communication device.

Automatic meeting scheduling may be facilitated without the need to open a calendar application to discuss and discover shared available time. A meeting organizer may send a request to one or more potential meeting participants. Based on responses received from the device of the potential meeting participants, the device of the meeting organizer may determine coincidentally available meeting times. The device may automatically select a candidate meeting time from among the coincidentally available meeting times or may rely on the meeting organizer to select a candidate meeting time from among the coincidentally available meeting times. Typical meeting scheduling may then ensue.

A mobile wireless communications device (10) includes a wireless transceiver (18), and a reconfigurable antenna (11) coupled to the wireless transceiver. The reconfigurable antenna has a dielectric substrate (22), with a plurality of electrical conductors on the dielectric substrate laterally adjacent a ground plane (16) and arranged in a series of spaced apart antenna loops (14a, 14b, 14c) with each successive outer antenna loop surrounding an adjacent inner loop, each antenna loop having a pair of endpoints (23a, 23b, 23c, 25a, 25b, 25c). A plurality of switches (22a, 22b, 22c, 24a, 24b, 24c) are associated with respective endpoints of the antenna loops. A processor (20) is adapted to reconfigure the reconfigurable antenna and couple the wireless transceiver thereto via the plurality of switches.The reconfigurability of the reconfigurable antenna (11) provides frequency, pattern, and polarization reconfigurability.

A multiple antenna assembly with high isolation between the antennas is disclosed. The assembly includes a dielectric substrate with a ground plane and first and second antennas thereon. One or more metal-dielectric isolation structures are on the substrate at locations at which an electric current is present that has a current density greater than a predefmed threshold. Each metal-dielectric isolation structure resonates at a given frequency that inhibits mutual signal coupling between the first and second antennas. Various configurations, such as concentric ring patterns, for the metal-dielectric isolation structures are disclosed. A device can be provided to dynamically tune the given frequency of the metal-dielectric isolation structures to correspond to radio frequency signals emitted by the first and second antennas.

摘要:
An antenna assembly for a wireless communication device includes a substrate of dielectric material that has opposing first and second surfaces. A ground plane formed by a layer of electrically conductive material on the first surface. An antenna with a physical length is disposed on the substrate. At least one metal-dielectric structure is disposed on the substrate. The metal-dielectric structures resonate so as to interact with the antenna and thereby alter the effective electrical length of the antenna. That interaction causes the antenna to function as though it had a greater physical length. In one embodiment, that interaction enables an antenna ,that is shorter than one-fourth the wavelength of a radio frequency signal applied thereto, to function as through the physical length of the antenna was one-fourth that wavelength.
