摘要:
A multi-frequency internal antenna apparatus (10) for a clamshell type electronic device includes a flexible circuit (20) that electrically couples circuitry between the main housing (12) and flip housing (14). A conductive element (36) is disposed on the main housing (12) and tuned to be electrically resonant above the operating frequencies of the electronic device. The conductive element (36) is disposed in proximity to the flip housing (14) in the open position and is electrically coupled at a high impedance point to the flexible circuit (20) and subsequently to the circuitry in the flip housing. When the movable flip housing is in the open position and being held by a user, the circuitry in the movable flip housing forms a secondary conductive element providing dipole characteristics that tunes the combined conductive elements to the operating frequencies of the electronic device.

A communication device 10 and a corresponding method are arranged for changing the radiation pattern of an antenna 14, where the radiation pattern of the antenna 14 is set to a half-space pattern if the communication device 10 is in close proximity to an object. A reflector 18 is activated to produce the half space radiation pattern. The reflector 18 is deactivated to produce the full space pattern. A switching device 26 determines the state of the reflector 18. A sensing and control device 23 controls the state of the switching device 26.
摘要:
A Parasitic Element (202) for use in combination with a Planer Inverted “F” Antenna (PIFA) (100) that creates an additional band of efficient operation for the combined antenna structure (200). The parasitic element (202) is able to be made to conform to surfaces (704) that are near the PIFA, such as of a case (704) of a cellular telephone (706). The parasitic element (202) is positioned so as to radiantly couple with the PIFA (100) in order to create the additional band of efficient operation. A parasitic element (202) is used with a dual band PIFA that operates in two RF bands, such as in the region near 800 MHz and 1.9 GHz, and adds a third band such as in the region near 1.575 GHz to support reception of Global Positioning System signals. This parasitic element (202) can conform to a case (704) of the cellular telephone (706).

A antenna apparatus for an electronic device having a clam-shell movable housing includes an antenna element that serves as the mechanical spring for a hinge assembly of the clam-shell housing as well as an antenna element resonant at an operating frequency of the electronic device. The antenna element is electrically coupling to a receiver of the electronic device and is also mechanically pre-loaded to the hinge assembly to mechanically rotate a movable portion of the clamshell housing away from a main housing portion.

A coupled slot probe antenna for use with antenna structures in mobile communication devices, such as cellular telephones and other wireless communication devices. The coupled slot probe antenna includes at least one first conductive element, and a second conductive element coupled between the first conductive element and the printed circuit board (PCB) ground plane of the mobile communication device. The first and second conductive elements define a tunable coupled slot area and the coupled slot probe antenna is coupled to the PCB ground plane in such a way that the coupled slot area is near a low-impedance point of the antenna structure, wherein coupling therebetween improves the bandwidth and the efficiency of the antenna structure. The coupled slot area can be tuned by changing the size of the coupled slot area and by changing the position of the coupled slot area relative to the low-impedance point of the antenna structure.

A conductive cross member (216) coupled the closed ends together, and a feed point (218) is located on the cross member.
摘要:
A method for facilitating a mobile station to perform a fast handoff in a wireless communication system allows a handoff procedure to be anticipated (by the mobile station, its serving base station, or both) based on historical information regarding prior successful handoff procedures. In operation, the serving base station monitors (510) current mobile station parameters and compares them with historical data. If the parameters indicate a high probability target base station (515), the serving base station requests allocation (525) of air interface resources at the high probability target base station prior to the mobile station reporting reception of signal from the high probability target base station. This facilitates fast handoff from the serving base station to the high probability target base station.
