Abstract: A display, such as for a touch-sensitive communication device, can include a transparent cover glass, pixels that emit light through the cover glass, and multiple antennas positioned along respective paths in an inactive area between the pixels. The antennas do not obstruct the light produced by the pixels, and can therefore be composed of opaque materials, such as metallic thin films, without affecting the optical properties of the display. In some examples, several antennas can have the same size and shape but different orientations, so that a radio can switch between or among the antennas to optimize reception. In some examples, the antennas can have different sizes and/or shapes, so that the antennas can send and/or receive radio signals in different frequency ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. In some examples, locating the antennas in the display can allow the device to include a metallic housing.

Abstract: Embodiments of millimeter-wave antenna structures are generally described herein. The antenna structure may include an a radiating-element layer comprising a patterned conductive material, a ground layer comprising conductive material disposed on a dielectric substrate, and a feed-line layer comprising conductive material disposed on a dielectric substrate. In some embodiments, the antenna structure may include an air-gap layer disposed between the radiating-element layer and the ground layer. The air-gap layer may include spacing elements to separate the radiating-element layer and the ground layer by a predetermined distance. In some other embodiments, the radiating-element layer may be disposed on a radiating-element dielectric substrate which may include one or more cavities between the radiating-element layer and the ground layer.

Abstract: Embodiments of wireless antenna array systems to achieve three-dimensional beam coverage are described herein. Disclosed is an integrated multiple phased antenna array on a flexible substrate with one RFIC.
