Abstract: A method (600) and an RF circuit (100, 400, 500) for a wireless communication device that mitigates near electric fields generated by the wireless communication device. At least one resonant structure (108, 408, 408?) can be configured to resonate at or near at least one operating frequency of an antenna (102) of the wireless communication device. The antenna can be a component of the RF circuit. The resonant structure can be electromagnetically coupled to the antenna to mitigate the near electric fields at the operating frequency in order to comply with an applicable hearing aid compatibility (HAC) specification.

Abstract: A continuous housing (100) and integral antenna (102) and method (300) of forming a housing (100) and integral antenna (102), including: forming (305) an extrusion housing with a side opening defining a pocket configured to receive electrical components; removing (310) material of the extrusion housing in proximity to a wall portion of the extrusion housing; and forming (315) a desired antenna construction integral to the extrusion housing. Advantageously, the continuous housing (100) can form a wireless communication device, which is particularly adapted for mass production. This arrangement is adapted to allow a customer to design the look and feel of an electronic device.

Abstract: A system for production of an electromagnetic (EM) field having EM emissions mitigated at one or more predetermined locations within a Hearing Aid Compliant (HAC) measurement plane is provided. The EM field mitigation system includes a ground plane, an antenna element, and a parasitic resonator element. The antenna element is coupled to the ground plane and resonates within at least one predetermined frequency band for transmitting and receiving the radio frequency (RF) signals modulated at one or more frequencies within the at least one predetermined first frequency band.

Abstract: A peripheral electronic device (106) can be equipped with a coupler, which in one embodiment is a mechanical coupler (136). A radio-frequency interface (108) allows a radio-frequency transceiver (110) of one electronic device to take advantage of one or more antennas (1101,1102,1103,1104) disposed within the peripheral electronic device (106). For example, the radio-frequency interface (108) can increase the matrix channel order by making the at least some additional MIMO antennas available for usage by the radio-frequency transceiver (110). The mechanical coupler can be configured to allow a camera or display of an inserted device to add image data functionality as well.
