  • INTEGRATED ACOUSTIC RECEIVER AND ANTENNA APPARATUS AND METHOD OF OPERATION
    Publication number: 20180192176
    Abstract: A combination speaker and antenna device is provided wherein one or more metal components of a speaker apparatus is connected to an antenna circuit on a printed circuit board to operate as an antenna in a mobile device. Additional elements can be added to the combination device to extend the antenna and/or electrical circuitry can be added to dynamically select different additional elements.

  • Diagonally-driven antenna system and method
    Patent number: 9653813
    Abstract: An electronic device (100) includes an antenna system (150) having two antennas (110, 120). A first antenna (110) has a first antenna element (111) positioned near a first corner (191) of a planar, rectangular ground plane (165) and a second antenna element (115) positioned near a second corner of the ground plane that is diagonally across from the first corner. A second antenna (120) has a third antenna element (121) positioned near a third corner (193) of the ground plane that is adjacent to the first corner and a fourth antenna element (125) positioned near a fourth corner (195) of the ground plane that is diagonally across from the third corner. At low-band frequencies, the antenna elements (111, 115) of the first antenna (110) are driven out-of-phase relative to each other. Similarly, at low-band frequencies, the antenna elements (121, 125) of the second antenna (120) are driven out-of-phase relative to each other.

  • Diagonally-driven antenna system and method
    Patent number: 9276321
    Abstract: An electronic device (100) includes an antenna system (150) having two antennas (110, 120). A first antenna (110) has a first antenna element (111) positioned outside a first corner (191) of a planar, rectangular ground plane (165) and a second antenna element (115) positioned outside a second corner of the ground plane that is diagonally across from the first corner. A second antenna (120) has a third antenna element (121) positioned near a third corner (193) of the ground plane that is adjacent to the first corner and a fourth antenna element (125) positioned near a fourth corner (195) of the ground plane that is diagonally across from the third corner.
