Patent number: 6552686Abstract: A radio antenna including a first shorted patch having a first resonance frequency (GSM1800), a second shorted patch having a second resonance frequency (E-GSM) connected to the first shorted patch for sharing a feed point, and a third shorted patch having a third resonance frequency (GSM1900) located adjacent to the second shorted patch. The second shorted patch has an extended portion surrounding at least two sides of the first shorted patch, leaving a gap therebetween. The third shorted patch serves as a parasitic patch to increase the bandwidth of the second shorted patch. Part of the extended portion of the second shorted patch is extended beyond the top edge of the ground plane to which the patches are grounded.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2001Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jani Ollikainen, Antero Lehtola

Patent number: 6476769Abstract: A radio antenna including a first shorted patch having a first resonance frequency (GSM1800), a second shorted patch connected to the first shorted patch for sharing a first feed point, and a third shorted patch separately having a second feed point. A first switch and a second switch connect between the ground and, respectively, the first and the second feed points. To cause the second and third shorted patches to produce, respectively, a second (E-GSM900) and a third resonance frequency (PCS1900), the first switch is operated in the open position while the second switch is operated in the closed position. To cause the first and third shorted patches to produce, respectively, a third frequency and a fourth resonance frequency (UMTS), the first switch is operated in the closed position while the second switch is operated in the open position.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2001Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventor: Antero Lehtola

Patent number: 6201501Abstract: An antenna configuration for a mobile communication device. The antenna configuration includes at least a first antenna configured so that the first antenna may be mounted near or between a speaker and a earpiece of a mobile station. In an embodiment of the invention, the first antenna comprises a substantially flat conductor including at least one hole for passing sound from the speaker to the earpiece of the mobile station. The first antenna is configured to receive GPS signals. A second antenna is implemented on the mobile station to transmit and receive cellular transmissions.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1999Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones LimitedInventors: Aimo Arkko, Antero Lehtola, Ilkka Pankinaho
