  • Patent number: 11881616
    Abstract: A smart ring includes an antenna chip and a metal ring used as an antenna, and the antenna chip is electrically connected to the metal ring to form an antenna circuit. The metal body of the smart ring is designed as a composition structure of the antenna circuit, that is, the antenna is integrated into the metal ring, the space for accommodating the antennas and the cost for additional physical antennas are saved, and the design flexibility and the competitiveness of the product are improved. Nickel-zinc ferrite is unnecessary, which can reduce the cost. The ring can keep the radiation characteristic of the circular antenna that is not susceptible to the interference from human body. The metal body of the ring is a metal structure, which can fulfill both of strength requirement and texture requirement of the structure, and at the same time has good antenna characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9500675
    Abstract: A probe module, which supports loopback test and is provided between a PCB and a DUT, includes a substrate, a probe base, two probes, two signal path switchers, and a capacitor. The substrate has two first connecting circuits and two second connecting circuits, wherein an end of each first connecting circuit is connected to the PCB. The probe base is provided between the substrate and the DUT with the probes provided thereon, wherein an end of each probe is exposed and electrically connected to one second connecting circuit, while another end thereof is also exposed to contact the DUT. Each signal path switcher is provided on the probe base, and respectively electrically connected to another end of one first and one second connecting circuits. The capacitor is provided on the probe base with two ends electrically connected to the two signal path switchers.
