Abstract: An antenna module having a side-edge balance-to-unbalance (BALUN). The antenna module may include a flexible substrate with one or more layers that may be configured to receive one first and second conductive patterns, the substrate may have opposed first and second ends which may define a longitudinal length and/or opposed side edges situated between the first and second ends. The first conductive pattern may form an antenna loop situated adjacent to the first end of the flexible substrate and be suitable for transmitting or receiving signals at one or more frequencies. The second conductive pattern may form at least part of the BALUN and may include one or more of a center portion, side portions which may extend from the center portion at opposite sides of the center portion, and electrically neutral slots situated between a corresponding side portion and the center portion.

Abstract: Radiated elements are embedded in in a touch panel that includes a plurality of layers including at least one conductive layer and at least one silver layer. The plurality of layers are configured a stack up configuration. The touch panel also includes a border region around the perimeter of each of the at least one conductive layer and the at least one silver layer.

Abstract: A dual-band antenna includes a first antenna element having a generally “J” shaped element, and a second antenna element having a generally “h” shaped element. The first antenna element and the second antenna element share a common feed point and each antenna element is oriented substantially perpendicular to the other. The first antenna element and the second antenna element, in one implementation, are adapted to efficiently operate the dual-band antenna at approximately 1575 MHz and approximately 850 MHz, respectively.
