  • Patent number: 12142845
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a compact antenna system within a dielectric housing of an electronic device, capable of achieving improved reflection performance. The antenna system includes a ground plane and an antenna PCB. An antenna microstrip feed on a side of the antenna PCB comprises a first part of a radiating antenna element. The antenna PCB is connected to the ground plane by a central conductor of a coaxial cable which forms a ground path. An outer conductor of the coaxial cable carries RF signals to the antenna PCB, allowing the RF signals to freely radiate along a length of the coaxial cable and acting as a second part of the radiating antenna element. The coaxial cable does not interfere with, and can even enhance a radiation pattern of the antenna microstrip feed.
