Patents by Inventor Annika Yidong Hu

Annika Yidong Hu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6492952
    Abstract: An antenna device includes a first and a second internal antenna element and a common ground plane. The first element has an upper and a lower end portion. The first antenna element is adapted for use with a cellular mobile phone system and the second antenna element is adapted for use with a GPS system. To that end, the second element is elongated and adapted to receive circularly polarized radio signals by operation with linear polarization. This provides for a compact antenna device adapted for use with more than one communication system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6246371
    Abstract: An antenna means (2) for transmitting and receiving RF signals, comprising: a ground plane (11) arranged to be connected to ground of the circuitry of a radio communication device and a conductive radiating structure (20) in the form of a band. The radiating structure has in a first end a feed portion (21) arranged to be coupled to circuitry of a radio communication device. The radiating structure has a second end which is a free end (29). The band has a first (A) and a second (B) surface, and is divided by bent portions into a number of sections Sn along its length. The band is bent or folded so that the first surface (A) of a first section S1 faces the first surface (A) of a second section S2, being adjacent to the first section S1, and the second surface (B) of a section Sm faces the second surface (B) of a consecutive section Sm+1, whereby a compact antenna means which can operate within a wide frequency band is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6222497
    Abstract: An antenna device for a radio communication device, comprises a ground plane (1), connected to a conductive second plate (2) by means of a conductive grounding means (9). Between the ground plane (1) and the second plate (2) a conductive third plate (3) is arranged. The third plate (3) is provided with a feed portion (35), which is to be connected to circuitry of the radio communication device, whereby it is achieved that received/transmitted signals in a first frequency band, are capacitively coupled between the second (2) and third (3) plates.
