  • Patent number: 10924845
    Abstract: A microphone includes an outer casing, a carrier disposed in the outer casing, and a sound receiving module connected to the carrier. The carrier has a through hole opposite to the sound receiving module. An airtight unit includes a shock absorber and an airtight member cooperating with the outer casing and the carrier to define an airtight back chamber configured to generate a pneumatic wave when a mechanical vibration wave is transmitted to the outer casing. A damping material closes the through hole and is configured to change the phase of the pneumatic wave when the latter passes therethrough such that the pneumatic wave and the mechanical vibration wave can offset each other when they are transmitted to the sound receiving module.

  • Publication number: 20170018835
    Abstract: An antenna control circuit and a corresponding antenna control method are provided. The antenna control circuit includes an antenna and a diode. An anode of the diode is coupled to the antenna. A cathode of the diode is grounded. The anode receives a negative voltage when the antenna receives an alternating current (AC) voltage signal. The antenna control circuit and the antenna control method can increase antenna bandwidth by switching the diode. In addition, the antenna control circuit and the antenna control method can provide better radiation efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9048536
    Abstract: A mobile communication device and an impedance matching method thereof are provided. The mobile communication device includes an antenna, a power amplifier, a tunable matching circuit, a power detection circuit and a controller. The tunable matching circuit determines an output impedance encountered by a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by the power amplifier to the antenna when the RF signal enters the tunable matching circuit. The power detection circuit detects a forward power of the RF signal entering the antenna and a reflected power of the antenna. The controller tunes the tunable matching circuit according to a frequency range currently used by the mobile communication device, the forward power and the reflected power to steer the output impedance toward a corresponding load-pull impedance that the power amplifier has in the frequency range.
