Abstract:
Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of an electronic device with an integrated power button-antenna structure are described. One apparatus includes a substrate, a first conductive trace disposed on the substrate, a second conductive trace disposed on the substrate and a switch mechanism including a non-conductive portion and a conductive portion. The switch mechanism electrically connects the first conductive trace and the second conductive trace to produce a first signal when the switch mechanism is activated. The second conductive trace forms an antenna element to radiate or receive electromagnetic energy.
Abstract:
A multiband antenna for mobile devices that includes both energized and parasitically-coupled resonant elements. An energized element is fed radio frequency energy and resonates at a first frequency. A first parasitic element, arranged on a same surface as the energized element, is parasitically coupled to the energized element and resonates with at least a second frequency. A second parasitic element, arranged on a surface opposite the energized element resonates at a third frequency.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for determining whether any one of three or more proximity test conditions is met using measurements from a plurality of proximity electrodes located relative to an antenna of a user device and reducing a transmit power level to be used by the antenna when any one of the three or more proximity test conditions is met. A user device obtains measurements from the proximity electrodes, checks the three or more proximity test conditions, and instructs a transmit power manager to reduce a transmit power level to transmit data when any one of the three or more proximity test conditions is met.
