Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a solution for integrating a headset antenna and whip antenna together as a combined antenna for a mobile TV application. In certain embodiments, the invention can be applied to portable devices for both analog TV, FM radio, and digital TV applications and can be applied more generally to any wireless system which spans a broad frequency range, where the antenna gain of two antennas together can exceed the performance of either alone. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a connector module that is configured to connect to both a whip antenna and a headset antenna while providing necessary electrical and signal isolation. The isolation can be accomplished by using a plurality of filters. There are other embodiments as well.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to mobile devices. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide one or more antennas embedded into headsets and/or earphone for mobile devices. In an embodiment, an antenna wire having a length of about 100 mm to 150 mm is implement as a part of a headset or an earphone that has an overall length of at least 90 cm, where the antenna wire is substantially insulated from the audio wire(s). The headset or earphone is connected to a mobile device that receives television signals from the antenna. In a specific embodiment, a mobile device includes a connection circuit that is configured to separate television signals form audio signals. In an exemplary embodiment, various components of the mobile device positioned at predetermine location away from the connection circuit to reduce noise and/or interference.
