    摘要: The present invention discloses an extendable antenna for a portable communication device, made of two radiating wires each shaped as an open loop; a first loop fixed and a second loop movable between two positions: in parallel or alternatively vertically to the first loop; the parallel position suitable for compactly carrying the device in non-active mode, and the vertical combination configured to produce a substantially isotropic radiation pattern, particularly instrumental for satellite communications. According to one embodiment, this device is a satellite served Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) for Search and Rescue (SAR) of people in distress, configured to be wrist worn.

    摘要: A hearing instrument comprises a microphone for reception of sound and conversion of the sound into a first audio signal, a signal processor for processing the first audio signal into a second audio signal compensating a hearing loss of a user of the hearing aid, a speaker connected to an output of the signal processor for converting the second audio signal into an output sound signal and a wireless communication unit connected to the signal processor for wireless communication interconnected with an antenna system for emission and reception of an electromagnetic field. The antenna system comprises a plurality of antenna elements and a switching device. The switching device is configured to connect a first antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements to the wireless communication unit, and at least a second antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements to a ground potential in response to switch control information.
