Abstract: Switchboxes are especially used in integrated circuits with programmable logic (e.g. FPGAs). They are used to establish configurable signal paths between logic blocks. The present invention is based on the task to present a switchbox with a small number of multiplexers and configuration bits, which can both forward a signal in signal direction and can implement a change of direction. The task is solved by using switchboxes consisting of direction multiplexers and at least one direction change multiplexer. Thus the signal direction can be changed arbitrarily without increasing the size of the direction change multiplexers.

Abstract: An edge enabled void antenna (EEVA) apparatus is provided. The EEVA apparatus includes a conductive plane and a void is created on a geometric perimeter of the conductive plane to form an EEVA. A radio frequency (RF) port is coupled to the void to receive an RF signal. The RF signal excites the conductive plane to induce an electrical current along the geometric perimeter of the conductive plane.

By forming the EEVA on the geometric perimeter of the conductive plane, it may be possible to enable a well-functioning antenna apparatus with a small effective footprint, thus allowing multiple EEVAs to be provided in a space confined wireless device with sufficient isolation for improved RF performance.
