  • Publication number: 20140125528
    Abstract: A mobile device includes a dielectric substrate, a metal layer, a metal housing, a nonconductive partition, at least one connection element, and a feeding element. The metal layer is disposed on the dielectric substrate, and includes an upper element and a main element, wherein a slot is formed between the upper element and the main element. The metal housing is substantially a hollow structure, and has a slit, wherein the slit is substantially aligned with the slot of the metal layer. The connection element couples the upper element of the metal layer to the metal housing. The feeding element is coupled to the upper element of the metal layer or coupled to the metal housing. An antenna structure is formed by the feeding element, the upper element of the metal layer, the connection element, and the metal housing.

  • Publication number: 20130057232
    Abstract: A method for reducing current flowing through a load within a particular frequency band includes the steps of configuring an electrical device to receive an alternating current (AC) signal; and configuring a filter to determine the current flowing through a load according to a frequency of the AC signal. An impedance of the filter in a conducting frequency band is lower than an impedance of the filter in a non-conducting frequency band so the filter divides the current of the AC signal within the conducting frequency band so that the load current through the load is reduced.
