  • Multi-mode wideband antenna
    Patent number: 9002262
    Abstract: Methods and systems for extending a bandwidth of a multi-mode wideband antenna of a user device are described. A multi-mode wideband antenna includes a single radio frequency (RF) feed coupled to a first element, and a second element coupled to the first element and a ground plane. The first element is to operate as a feeding structure to a parasitic grounding element that is coupled to the ground plane, but is not conductively connected to the RF feed. The multi-mode wideband antenna is configured to provide multiple resonant modes.

  • Switching multi-mode antenna
    Patent number: 8760360
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of a switching multi-mode antenna of a user device are described. A switching multi-mode antenna is coupled to receive an RF input from one of at least two radio frequency (RF) feeds via a switch. The switching multi-mode antenna includes multiple antenna structures to communicate information in multiple frequency bands. A first antenna structure is configured to transmit first information in one of the frequency bands and a second antenna structure is configured to receive second information in the same one of the frequency bands.

  • Multi-mode wideband antenna
    Patent number: 8754817
    Abstract: Methods and systems for extending a bandwidth of a multi-mode wideband antenna of a user device are described. A multi-mode wideband antenna includes a single radio frequency (RF) input coupled to a first antenna structure to provide a first resonant mode and a second resonant mode and to operate as a feeding structure to an antenna circuit that is not conductively coupled to the first antenna structure. The antenna circuit is configured to provide additional resonant modes of the multi-mode wideband antenna.
