  • Publication number: 20140028503
    Abstract: A multiband antenna for an electronic device includes a resonance radiation body, a grounding end, and a spread spectrum portion. The resonance radiation body receives a first electromagnetic wave signal at a first frequency (known as fundamental frequency). The grounding end and the electronic device are connected. The spread spectrum portion is disposed between the resonance radiation body and the grounding end. The spread spectrum portion includes first and second shunting bodies to form a loop bypass between the resonance radiation body and the grounding end and thereby decrease and increase the first frequency by a specific frequency value so as to define a bandwidth equal to two times the specific frequency value. Hence, the electronic device receives a second electromagnetic wave signal at any frequency within the bandwidth. Since the spread spectrum portion defines the bandwidth, the electronic device can receive the first and second electromagnetic wave signals.

  • Publication number: 20140015499
    Abstract: A voltage resolution adjustment system and method increase voltage resolution of an output voltage of a processor from a first voltage resolution to a second voltage resolution. The system includes a processing module, a voltage-dividing module, and an amplifying unit. The processing module generates a first voltage of a first voltage resolution. The voltage-dividing module increases the first voltage of the first voltage resolution to a second voltage of a second voltage resolution. The amplifying unit increases the second voltage to a third voltage (i.e., the output voltage). After comparing the third voltage and the first voltage and detecting a voltage difference therebetween, the processing module generates a control signal for changing a voltage partitioning ratio of the voltage-dividing module to render the third voltage and the first voltage equal, wherein the third voltage is of the second voltage resolution.
