    摘要: Reconfigurable antenna systems with ground tuning pads are provided herein. In certain configurations, an antenna system includes a module substrate including a ground plane and a ground tuning pad configured to receive a ground voltage from the ground plane. The antenna system further includes an antenna element and a tuning conductor that is spaced apart from the antenna element and operable to load the antenna element. Furthermore, a switch is electrically connected between the tuning conductor and the ground tuning pad, and operates to selectively connect the tuning conductor to the ground plane by way of the ground tuning pad to provide tuning to the antenna element.

    摘要: Reconfigurable antenna systems integrated with a metal case are provided herein. In certain embodiments, user equipment (UE) for a cellular network includes a metal case and an antenna system for transmitting and/or receiving wireless signals. The antenna system includes a tuning conductor formed in the metal case, a patch antenna element that is spaced apart from the tuning conductor, and a switch electrically connected in series between the tuning conductor and a ground voltage. The switch electrically connects the tuning conductor to the ground voltage in an on state and electrically disconnects the tuning conductor from the ground voltage in an off state.

    摘要: Reconfigurable antenna systems with ground tuning pads are provided herein. In certain configurations, an antenna system includes an antenna element, a first tuning conductor spaced apart from the antenna element on a first side of the antenna element, a second tuning conductor spaced apart from the antenna element on a second side of the antenna element, a first ground tuning pad configured to receive a ground voltage, and a first switch electrically connected between the first tuning conductor and the first ground tuning pad. The first switch is operable to selectively connect the first tuning conductor to the first ground tuning pad to thereby tune the antenna element.
