摘要:
An apparatus for radio frequency testing of a wireless communication device (205) comprising an artificial head (100) and a spacer (203). The artificial head (100) includes a mouth (103) and an ear (105, 107), and the spacer (203) is positioned adjacent to the artificial head (100). The spacer (203) positions an audio output portion of the wireless communication device (205) adjacent to the ear (105, 107) of the artificial head (100), directs an audio input portion of the wireless communication device (205) toward the mouth (103) of the artificial head (100), and separates the audio input portion of the wireless communication device (205) from the mouth (103) of the artificial head (100).
摘要:
A model hand (120, 700) for use in electromagnetic testing comprising a body (210, 710) and at least one digit (220, 780) extending from a side of the body. For one embodiment, the body (210) has an outer semi-cylinder surface (230) with an arcuate shape and an inner semi-cylinder surface (240) following the arcuate shape of the outer semi-cylinder surface. A digit (220) is coupled at a base end (260) coupled to the side (250) of the cylindrical body (210) to permit pivotal motion of the digit relative to the cylindrical body. For another embodiment, the body (710) has a palm-like shape with four static digits (740-770) affixed at one end to the palm-shaped body. In addition to the four static digits (740-770), a dynamic digit (780) extends from the body (710) and couples to the body to permit pivotal motion of the digit relative to the body.

A multimode communication device (10 or 50) having an antenna arrangement (14 or 54) having a first antenna (18) operational in both low bands and high bands, a second antenna (20) operational in high bands, a tuner (26) coupled to the first antenna adapted to adjust matching elements to modify return loss to lower reflected power, a switching mechanism (28) for selecting between the first antenna and the second antenna, and a controller (30) coupled to the switching mechanism and the tuner.
摘要:
Embodiments include antenna tuning systems and methods of tuning an antenna of a wireless device with an antenna, a circuit with at least one tunable component, and a processing system. The processing system determines tuning selection inputs during a communication session. Based on the tuning selection inputs, the processing system determines one or more component values for one or more tunable components. In an embodiment, the component value(s) are determined from a set of pre-defined component values. The tunable component(s) are controlled to have the determined component value(s). The circuit may be an impedance matching circuit that includes at least one tunable reactive component. Alternatively, the circuit may be an antenna tuning circuit that includes at least one variable component. In an embodiment, both an impedance matching circuit and an antenna tuning circuit may be implemented, with each type of circuit having one or more tunable components.

摘要:
A radio frequency anechoic test chamber (100) includes a test stand (118) that includes a relatively small diameter, mechanically robust, telescoping lower vertical support column (202), a large diameter thin walled middle vertical support column (204) that includes a sheet or coating of absorbing material (224) disposed proximate the circumference of the thin walled middle support column, (204) and an upper support member (206). The radio frequency anechoic test chamber provides improved ripple performance that allows more accurate measurements of the gain pattern of radio frequency equipment.

摘要:
A telescoping antenna (102) has a mast element (200) with first and second ends (204, 222), the first end (204) being mounted on a cellular telephone housing (206) and establishing electrical connection with signal processing circuitry (210) within the cellular telephone (208). The telescoping antenna (102) also has a cylindrical radiating element (202) that slidably engages the mast element (200). In a retracted or stowed position first ends (204, 212) of the mast element (200) and the cylindrical radiating element (202) are substantially adjacent, and second ends (222, 216) of the mast element (200) and the cylindrical radiating element (202) are also substantially adjacent. A loading coil (214) has a first end (218) permanently connected to the second end (216) of the cylindrical radiating element (202) and has a second end (220) engageable with the second end (222) of the mast element (200). The loading coil (214) engages the mast element (200) when the antenna (102) is in a stowed position, and is disconnected from the mast element (200) when the antenna (102) is in the deployed position. The antenna (102) provides a substantially constant frequency of operation in both an extended and retracted orientation.

An uncorrelated RF antenna system (100) having uncorrelated antennas (102, 104) disposed in close relationship for use with mobile communication device transmitters and/or receivers (300). A first antenna (102) comprises a first plurality of elongated nanostructures (106) aligned in a first direction (110), and a second antenna (104) spatially disposed from the first antenna (102) comprises a second plurality of elongated nanostructures (108) aligned in a second direction (112) substantially orthogonal to the first direction (110). When a signal is received, an E polarization is created in the first antenna (102) orthogonal to an E polarization created in the second antenna (104).
