Abstract: A reconfigurable antenna system is described which combines active and passive components used to impedance match, alter the frequency response, and change the radiation pattern of an antenna. Re-use of components such as switches and tunable capacitors make the circuit topologies more space and cost effective, while reducing complexity of the control signaling required. Antenna structures with single and multiple feed and/or ground connections are described and active circuit topologies are shown for these configurations. A processor and algorithm can reside with the antenna circuitry, or the algorithm to control antenna optimization can be implemented in a processor in the host device.

Abstract: An antenna methodology where a set of antennas are formed that take the shape of a mobile wireless device and can be integrated into the outer housing of the mobile device. Tuning points are integrated into the design to provide the capability to compensate for hand effects and loading while the mobile device and antenna are touched by the user. The body then becomes a part of the antenna and acts as an anchor for the poles within the matching circuit. These antennas are actively tuned based on detection criteria while dynamically tracking system performance. The structure is based on a loaded loop coupled to an isolated magnetic dipole (IMD) element. The loop is actively tuned according to design rules residing in a processor in the mobile device.

Abstract: An active antenna and associated circuit topology is adapted to provide active impedance matching and band switching of the antenna using a shared tunable component. Using a shared tunable component, such as a tunable capacitor or other tunable component, the antenna provides a low cost and effective active antenna solution. In certain embodiments, one or more passive components can be further utilized to design band switching of the antenna from a first frequency to a second desired frequency.

Abstract: An active antenna system and algorithm is described that provides for dynamic tuning and optimization of antenna system parameters for a MIMO system where correlation and isolation between antennas in the system are dynamically altered to provide for greater throughput. As one or multiple antennas are loaded or de-tuned due to environmental changes, corrections to correlation and/or isolation are made by selecting the optimal antenna radiation pattern and by adjusting electrical length and/or reactive loading of transmission lines connecting the antennas. Multiple Isolated Magnetic Dipole (IMD) antennas are co-located and connected with a feed network that can include switches that adjust phase length for transmission lines connecting the antennas. Filtering is integrated into the feed network to improve rejection of unwanted frequencies. Filtering can also be implemented on the antenna structure.
