Abstract:
This invention describes a method for improving antenna isolation in an electronic communication device using grounded RF microwave elements and patterns (structures). According to embodiments of the present invention, the RF microwave element can be implemented as a short-circuited section of a quarter-wavelength long transmission line (such as a stripline), or the RF microwave element can contain a metallic coupler and two thin striplines with different lengths, or the RF microwave element can be implemented using a balun concept.
Abstract:
An antenna arrangement including an antenna occupying at least a first plane; a conductive structure that is isolated from the antenna but is arranged to be parasitically fed by the antenna, the conductive structure having a slot and occupying at least a second plane different to but adjacent the first plane.

Abstract:
An antenna configuration for a mobile communication device. The antenna configuration includes at least a first antenna configured so that the first antenna may be mounted near or between a speaker and a earpiece of a mobile station. In an embodiment of the invention, the first antenna comprises a substantially flat conductor including at least one hole for passing sound from the speaker to the earpiece of the mobile station. The first antenna is configured to receive GPS signals. A second antenna is implemented on the mobile station to transmit and receive cellular transmissions.
