Publication number: 20080258990Abstract: Antenna systems and methods are disclosed having parasitically-coupled surface-attachable antenna systems that provide significant advantages for portable information handling systems. A secondary antenna is coupled within a chassis for an information handling system, and a primary antenna is attached to an external surface of the chassis for the portable information handling system. The primary antenna element is configured to be parasitically coupled to the secondary antenna. For receive operations, radio frequency (RF) signals are received by the primary antenna element, and signals are parasitically induced on the secondary antenna. For transmit operations, RF signals are transmitted to the secondary antenna element, and signals are parasitically induced on the primary antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2007Publication date: October 23, 2008Inventors: Dennis A.

Patent number: 5420596Abstract: An antenna has a quarter wave resonant strip (10) and first and second parasitically excited strips (12 and 14) resonant at a lower and upper frequency, respectively, of the antenna bandwidth. The strips (10, 12 and 14) have trim tabs (20, 22 and 24) for adjusting the resonant frequency of each strip. The location of a feed (30) is set to provide a desired impedance match for use by a radio (60) such as a pager. A ground plane (40) provides a grounding for the strips (10, 12 and 14) and inhibits undesirable radio frequency interaction between the radio (60) and the strips (10, 12 and 14).Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1993Date of Patent: May 30, 1995Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Dennis Burrell, Kazimierz Siwiak
