摘要:
A frequency-tunable capacitively-loaded magnetic dipole antenna includes a transformer loop having a balanced feed interface, and a capacitively-loaded magnetic dipole radiator with a tunable effective electrical length. In one embodiment, the capacitively-loaded magnetic dipole radiator includes a tunable electric field bridge. For example, the capacitively-loaded magnetic dipole radiator may comprise a quasi loop with a tunable electric field bridge interposed between the quasi loop first and second ends. The electric field bridge may be an element such as a ferroelectric (FE) tunable capacitor or a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) capacitor, to name a couple of examples. In certain embodiments, the capacitively-loaded magnetic dipole radiator includes a quasi loop with a loop perimeter. The effective electrical length of the radiator is changed by adjusting the perimeter using an element such as a MEMS switch, or a semiconductor switch.

A wireless communications device reconfigurable radiation desensitivity bracket, and associated reconfigurable radiation desensitivity method are provided. The method includes: generating a radiated wave at a first frequency; in response to generating the radiated wave at the first frequency, creating a maximum current per units square (I/units2) through a minimal area of an electrical circuit groundplane; generating a radiated wave at a second frequency; in response to generating the radiated wave at the second frequency, maintaining the maximum I/units2 through the minimal area of the groundplane. Alternately stated, the method controls the distribution of current flow through a groundplane, responsive to radiated emissions, as the wireless device changes operating frequency or communication band. More specifically, the method maintains the maximum I/units2 through the minimal area of the groundplane by coupling the groundplane to a bracket having a selectable effective electrical length.

An antenna system comprises a receive diversity antenna system and a configurable antenna arrangement. Incoming signals are received through the receive diversity antenna system and outgoing signals are transmitted through the configurable antenna arrangement. A controller generates control signals to adjust the configurable antenna arrangement to change the transmission performance characteristics of the configurable antenna arrangement. The configurable antenna arrangement may be a smart antenna, a plurality of antennas, or a configurable antenna where transmission characteristics change in response to control signals.

An antenna with a loop portion that arches away from the body of the mobile wireless communication device. The loop portion is connected to the mobile wireless communication device at one end and detachably connected or grounded to the mobile wireless communication device at the other end. An antenna that arches away from the body of a phone, but connects at both ends to the body of the phone has improved performance over an internal antenna, and yet retains the advantages of an internal antenna. Further, if the antenna is detachably connected to the phone at one end, then either better performance can be achieved if the antenna can be moved further away from the body of the phone, or the antenna can be used as a latch to attach the phone to slender objects.

A wiring connector is provided with counterpoise shielding. The connector comprises a shell and at least one pair of contacts, supported in the shell, for passing a signal and corresponding counterpoise. Each contact has an input interface, where it mates to either a wire bundle or a circuit board, and a mating connector interface, where it mates with another connector. The connector also comprises a radiation shield comprising ferrite particles embedded in a dielectric, overlying the contact pair. In one aspect, the shell includes a housing and a dielectric interposed between the contacts and the housing. Then, the radiation shield is embedded in the dielectric. In another aspect, the radiation shield is part of the housing.

An apparatus, system and method optimize antenna performance using tunable parasitic elements by changing antenna characteristics based on signal quality parameters of electromagnetic signals exchanged through the antenna. The tunable parasitic elements are responsive to control signals to modify current flowing through a counterpoise of the antenna. Based on signal quality parameters received from a communication system, transmission characteristics are optimized by increasing the transmission gain in the direction of the receiving base station. Signal quality parameters measured at the antenna are used to change reception characteristics by minimizing reception gain in the direction of a jamming transmitter.

A differential antenna structure configured to connect to an electronic circuit having differential inputs and output. The antenna structure includes differential feeding points which are connected to the electronic circuit differential inputs/outputs through capacitors thus eliminating the need for baluns. The antenna structure is also configured to connect to multiple differential inputs/outputs thus eliminating the need for a separate antenna for each differential input/output included on an electronic circuit chip set. The antenna structure can include feeding arms which act as differential feeding points. The antenna can also include tongues for adjusting the capacitive part of the antenna to allow for 1 to n frequencies. The antenna can comprise multiple antenna elements in various arrangements and configurations.

Wireless communication device tuning an antenna matching circuit responsive to a receive signal quality indicator and, optionally, responsive to a failed access probe is provided. Systems and methods are provided that increase the antenna efficiency in either the transmit frequency or the receive frequency in an idle or access state as needed, based on fading conditions, non-ideal antenna efficiency balance, mobile station forward versus reverse link usage and system forward versus reverse link usage. The antenna efficiency may be changed incrementally or may be optimized completely for the transmit frequency or the receive frequency. The re-balancing is accomplished by tuning the antenna matching circuit. One way to tune the antenna matching circuit is to apply a voltage to a ferro-electric capacitor in the matching circuit, thereby changing the capacitance of the ferro-electric capacitor, thereby changing the impedance of the matching circuit.
