Abstract: An antenna for an electronic device comprising of a metal-sheet antenna and an antenna feed connecting the metal-sheet antenna to a radio frequency (RF) printed circuit board (PCB). A screw configured to operate as a ground feed for the metal-sheet antenna and to provide mechanical support in the electronic device wherein the screw is further configured to provide radiation for additional bands for the antenna. The metal-sheet antenna supports a first band, and the screw supports a second band, based on dimensions of a screw boss, and a third band, based on a gap between the screw boss and the metal-sheet antenna.

Abstract: A wireless device with a slot antenna includes one or more heat spreaders, a PCB with vias to allow current to flow through the PCB, various components disposed on the PCB, and a slot antenna compliment. By layering the components, e.g., heat spreaders, PCB, slot antenna compliment, etc. one or more slot antennas are formed from these components as to integrate the slot antennas into the existing structure. The formed slot antenna is a spiraled shape as to reduce the overall footprint of the slot antenna while keeping the required quarter-wavelength total effective length of an open-slot antenna. The formed slot antenna is wide enough to allow the antenna to accommodate a wide bandwidth and may include a plurality of steps to further allow for tuning of the length of the slot antenna. The wireless device can further include a housing enclosing the internal components.

Abstract: Two antennas based on quarter wave elements angled relative to each other and connected to two ground planes that are also angled relative to one another, having a shorting connection to cancel the extra capacitance and the antennas form a structure similar to IFA or PIFA. The two antennas fed from alternate ends and spaced closely together in which the connection of each antenna to ground causes the ground plane connections to be electrically far apart. A method of manufacturing an antenna system comprising antenna feeds which are connected via a spring pin and a ground pin that is formed partially by a screw connection, spring clip, or spring pin. The antenna elements are stamped and printed on a single non-conducting surface and the antenna carrier is connected to a circuit board that contains the active electronics.

Abstract: An antenna element includes an outer conductor and an inner conductor. The outer conductor forms a perimeter of the antenna element. The inner conductor is physically and electrically connected to the outer conductor only at an intermediate connection at an inner portion of the outer conductor. The outer conductor and the inner conductor are arranged to form a slot therebetween. The slot extends around the inner conductor such that each end of the slot is adjacent to the intermediate connection.

Abstract: An integrated metallic component includes a metallic body and an antenna. The metallic body is adapted to at least one of act as a heat exchanger and at least partially enclose electronic components on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB. The antenna includes an antenna element, a short wall, and an antenna feed leg. The antenna element is offset from the metallic body and includes a length extending along a perimeter of the metallic body. The short wall connects the antenna element to the metallic body. The antenna feed leg is offset from the short wall in a direction of the length of the antenna element and adapted to extend from the antenna element to the PCB and to form an electrical connection with an electrical contact for a Radio Frequency (RF) signal trace on the PCB.
