Abstract: Dual-band antenna structures and methods of operating the same of an electronic device are described. One apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) feed and a dual-band antenna structure coupled to the RF feed at a feeding point and coupled to a ground plane at a grounding point. The structure includes a first loop antenna and a second loop antenna, both coupled to the feeding point and the grounding point. The first loop antenna radiates electromagnetic energy in a first resonant mode in a first frequency band and the second loop antenna radiates electromagnetic energy in a second resonant mode in a second frequency band and radiates electromagnetic energy in a third resonant mode in the first frequency band. Surface currents create a pair of hot spots of magnetic field.

Abstract: Methods and systems for radiating electromagnetic energy with a patch antenna structure are described. A device may include a radio frequency (RF) feed and an antenna structure coupled to the RF feed. The antenna structure may include a ground plane, first and second conductors, and first and second impedance matching components. The first conductor may include an inner surface defining and at least partially surrounding a slot. The first and second impedance matching components may be coupled between the RF feed and the ground plane.

Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a phase-controlled antenna of an electronic device are described. A phase-controlled antenna includes a radio frequency (RF) feed, an antenna structured coupled to the RF feed and including a ground path coupled to a ground node, and a phase-controlling circuit coupled between the ground path and the ground node. The antenna structure is configured to operate at a resonant frequency in a first state, and the phase-controlling circuit is configured to introduce a phase shift in the antenna structure to change the resonant frequency of the antenna structure to a second resonant frequency in a second state.

Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a multi-feed antenna of an electronic device are described. A multi-feed antenna includes a first antenna element coupled to a first tuner circuit that is coupled a first radio frequency (RF) feed, and a second antenna element coupled to a second tuner circuit that is coupled to a second RF feed. The first tuner circuit is programmable to independently adjust a first impedance of the first antenna element and the second tuner circuit is programmable to independently adjust a second impedance of the second antenna element.
