    摘要: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of an electronic device are described. One apparatus includes a first radio frequency (RF) feed, a second RF feed and an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes a ground plane, a first antenna element coupled to the first RF feed, a second antenna element coupled to the second RF feed and coupled to the ground plane at a first grounding point located at a distal end of the second antenna element. The first antenna element operates as a first directly-fed element and the second antenna element operates as a first parasitic ground element when RF signals in a first frequency range are applied to the first RF feed. The second antenna element operates as a second directly-fed element when RF signals in a second frequency range are applied to the second RF feed, the second frequency range being higher than the first frequency range. The first antenna element is grounded by the RF short circuit when the RF signals in the second frequency range are applied to the second RF feed.

    摘要: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a dual-feed antenna of an electronic device are described. A dual-feed antenna includes a first antenna element coupled to a controllable circuit that is coupled a first radio frequency (RF) feed, and a second antenna element coupled to a second RF feed. The controllable circuit is configured to electrically connect the first antenna element to the first RF feed in a first antenna configuration and to electrically connect the first antenna element to ground in a second antenna configuration. During the second antenna configuration, the second antenna element is driven by the second RF feed.

    摘要: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a wideband dual-arm antenna of an electronic device are described. One wideband antenna includes a first feeding arm coupled to a radio frequency (RF) feed and a second feeding arm coupled to the RF feed. At least a portion of the second feeding arm is parallel to the first feeding arm. The wideband dual-arm antenna further includes a third arm coupled to the ground plane. The third arm is a parasitic ground element that forms a coupling to the first feeding arm and the second feeding arm. The parasitic element increases a bandwidth of the wideband antenna.

    摘要: Devices or apparatuses for adjusting a radiation angle of an antenna are described. An electronic device may include a strip, a first leaky-wave antenna (LWA) cell, and a second LWA cell. The first LWA cell can include a tunable component. The first LWA cell can also include a first conductive patch coupled to: a radio frequency (RF) feed on a first edge of the first conductive patch; a ground plane through a first via on a second edge of the first conductive patch; and a tunable component at a first corner between a third edge and a fourth edge of the first conductive patch. The second LWA cell can include a second conductive patch coupled to the ground plane through a second via on a second edge of the second conductive patch and coupled to the tunable component at a first corner between a first edge and a third edge of the second conductive patch.

    摘要: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of an electronic device are described. One apparatus includes an antenna element and three matching circuits coupled to the antenna element. The first RF module is operable to cause the antenna element to radiate or receive electromagnetic energy in a first frequency range. The second RF module is operable to cause the antenna element to radiate or receive electromagnetic energy in a second frequency range and a third frequency range. The impedance matching circuits are operable to match an impedance of the antenna element to an impedance of the first RF module to radiate or receive in the first frequency ranges and to match impedances of the antenna element to impedances of the second RF module to radiate or receive the electromagnetic energy in the second and third frequency ranges.

    摘要: A user device receives a command to transmit information at a transmit power level specified by a wireless carrier. The user device determines whether transmitting the information at the specified transmit power level using a first duty cycle will cause the user device to violate a condition. Responsive to determining that transmitting the information at the specified transmit power level using the first duty cycle will cause the user device to violate the condition, the user device determines a new duty cycle that is lower than the first duty cycle, and transmits the information using the new duty cycle.
