Abstract:
An antenna intended for portable radio devices, which comprises a radiating slot in the ground plane of the radio device. This slot (220) is a functional main part of the antenna. It is located so that a relatively narrow strip of the ground plane remains between it and an edge of the ground plane (210). At the end of this ground strip (212), beside the open end of the slot, there is connected an elongated auxiliary element (230), which elevates slightly from the ground plane and is then directed toward the closed end of the slot. The auxiliary element increases the electric length of the slot so that the basic resonance frequency of the slot occurs in the range of the lower operating band of the antenna intended as a dualband antenna. The slot (220) thus functions as a radiator in the lower operating band. The antenna is fed from a point (FP) that is advantageous with regard to the matching, near the closed end of the slot. In addition, the auxiliary element (230) is dimensioned so that when the antenna is fed by the frequencies of the upper operating band, oscillation of its own is excited in the auxiliary element, in which case it functions as a radiator in the upper operating band. By means of the invention, also the lower operating band of a dualband antenna can be implemented by a structure that takes a relatively small amount of space, the antenna can be located advantageously with regard to SAR, and the matching of the antenna does not require separate matching components.
Abstract:
In the mechanical supporting of the resonator coil it is known to use around the resonator coil an injection moulded plastic U-shaped binder ring, with the loops of the coil running through the arms in the binder ring. The resonator wire can also be wound around a plastic body. The methods of the prior art considerably weaken the Q value of the resonator. According to the invention it is possible to achieve good supporting, without a weakening of the Q value, in such a way that the resonator coil (1) is supported from at least one point by a supporting leg (6) of metal, which one end is fastened to the wire of the resonator coil (1) and the other end is fastened to an insulation piece (8) having low losses, which in turn is fastened to the installation plate.
Abstract:
An antenna component suited for small-sized radio devices for forming a dielectric antenna. A small auxiliary circuit board (210) is used for the matching of the antenna, the matching being based on a conductor pattern on it. A substrate chip (220), on the surface of which the radiator is, and the auxiliary board are fastened to each other, whereby the radiator is electrically connected to said conductor pattern. The radiator, its substrate and the auxiliary board form a unitary, solid antenna component (200), which is mounted on the circuit board (PWB) of the radio device. The antenna with its feed and matching circuits can be designed and tested as a whole of its own, in which case the reproducibility is good. In the design of the circuit board of the radio device, the antenna needs to be taken into account only by reserving a space for the antenna component on the circuit board.
Abstract:
The invention relates to frame structures, particularly to mobile stations and other small-sized portable devices operating at high frequencies. The frame structure according to the invention is formed by extrusion, whereby the fixing means required for fastening components are formed into it during the extrusion. Such fixing means are preferably pin-like projections which can be compressed to a rivet fixing the component. Such fixing means can also be strip-like fixing edges which are bent over the component edges. With such fixing means it is possible to form at the same time both a mechanical fixing and a good electrical contact between the component and the frame structure. During the extrusion it is also possible to fasten to the frame structure parts made of other materials, such as fixing means of other types or other components, such as antennas.
Abstract:
When the bandwidth of a duplex filter having a certain bandwidth, intended for a radio telephone, is increased by affecting the coupling between the resonator circuits, the stop band of the filter is at the same time deteriorated. According to the invention, the stop band attenuation can be improved by coupling a surface-wave filter, coupled as a notch circuit, in parallel with one of the resonator circuits of the duplex filter.
Abstract:
An antenna component (200) with a dielectric substrate and two radiating antenna elements. The elements are located on the upper surface of the substrate and there is a narrow slot (260) between them. The antenna feed conductor (241) is connected to the first antenna element (220), which is connected also to the ground by a short-circuit conductor (261). The second antenna element (230) is parasitic; it is galvanically connected only to the ground. The component is preferably manufactured by a semiconductor technique by growing a metal layer e.g. on a quartz substrate and removing a part of it so that the antenna elements remain. In this case the component further comprises supporting material (212) of the substrate chip. The antenna component is very small-sized because of the high dielectricity of the substrate to be used and mostly because the slot between the antenna elements is narrow. The efficiency of an antenna made by the component is high.
Abstract:
An antenna component (201) with a dielectric substrate and two radiating antenna elements (220; 230) on the surface of the substrate. Each of them covers one of the opposite heads and part of the upper surface of the chip. In the middle of the upper surface between the elements, there remains a narrow slot (260). The lower edge of one of the antenna elements (222) is galvanically coupled to the antenna feed conductor (240) on the circuit board, and at another point to the ground plane (GND), while the lower edge of the opposite antenna element (232), or the parasitic element, is calvanically coupled only to the ground plane. The parasitic element (230) gets its feed through the electromagnetic coupling over said slot, and both elements resonate equally strongly at the operating frequency. The component is preferably manufactured by a semiconductor technique by growing a metal layer on the surface e.g. of quartz substrate and removing a part of it so that the elements remain. The antenna component is very small-sized because of the high dielectricity of the substrate to be used and because the slot between the antenna elements is narrow. The losses of the substrate are relatively low due to the simple field image in the substrate.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an internal monopole antenna of especially a flat a radio device, which monopole antenna has an arrangement for improving its characteristics. The antenna comprises a planar monopole radiator (310) and an auxiliary element (320), which is located at the point of the planar element as viewed in the direction of its normal. The auxiliary element can be a mere conductor strip or a ceramic plate partly coated with a conductor. The conductor of the auxiliary element is connected to the ground at a point (SP), which is relatively close to the feed point (FP) of the planar element. The planar element (310) can be shaped to form two operating bands for the antenna. The auxiliary element can be used to increase the bandwidth of the internal monopole antenna and/or to improve the omnidirectional radiation of the antenna.
Abstract:
A method for fastening a speaker to a speaker chamber, and a speaker chamber with a speaker. The speaker (530) is placed in a speaker frame (513) belonging to the frame part (511, 513) of a speaker chamber. Laser welding is used in the fastening. Therefore, the speaker is implemented with plastic jacket (532) absorbing the energy of a laser beam, and the frame part is of plastic material, which is permeated by the laser beam without hardly any energy loss. The laser beam is directed at the junction (JNC) between said plastic jacket and the frame part. In this case, the material of the plastic jacket (532) heats up at the junction, and some thermal energy also transfers over the junction to the frame part (513). The melting temperatures of these two plastic materials are close to each other, and therefore, when a suitable power level is used, the materials melt on both sides of the junction and become mixed with each other. The joint is created by moving a laser beam of a certain width along the junction (JNC). The speaker will be fastened tightly to the frame part of the speaker chamber without causing mechanical stress on the speaker and the nearby components. No intermediate material to be placed between the speaker and the frame part is needed.
