Abstract: A portable computer system, including a display cover, a lower housing, a hinge arrangement configured to mechanically connect the display cover and the lower housing, a processor disposed within the lower housing and a wireless communication device disposed within the display cover. The wireless communication device has an antenna. An Ethernet link at least partially defines a communication link between the processor and the wireless communication device.
Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a transceiver front end and at least two receive antennas. Each receive antenna is operationally connected to a receiver front end of the transceiver front end only via a respective low noise amplifier. Receive diversity is provided by providing operating power only to one of the low noise amplifiers, for example, only to the low noise amplifier of the receive antenna that receives the largest portion of the received RF power.
