Abstract: A multiband dipole antenna solution suitable for use in various wireless device applications, and methods of tuning and utilizing the same. In one embodiment, the antenna is adapted for use in long term evolution (LTE or LTE-A) radio devices. In one implementation, the antenna comprises (i) two planar directly fed radiating elements operating in a lower frequency band and disposed on two opposing sides of a dielectric structure, and (ii) two electromagnetically coupled radiating elements operating in an upper frequency band also disposed on the opposing sides of the dielectric structure. An additional pair of electromagnetically coupled radiator elements is utilized to achieve wider antenna operating bandwidth.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for matching the antenna of a radio device. In one embodiment, a capacitive sensor is arranged in the antenna structure and configured to detect the electric changes in the surroundings of the antenna. The mismatch caused by a change is rectified by means of the signal proportional to the sensor capacitance. This capacitance and the frequency range currently in use are input variables of a control unit. The antenna impedance is adjusted by means of a reactive matching circuit, the component values of which can be selected from a relatively wide array of alternatives by way of change-over switches, which are located in the transverse branches of the matching circuit.

Abstract: A multiresonance antenna useful in small-sized radio devices. In one embodiment, radiating element of the antenna comprises, a first and a second radiating arm of nearly equal electric lengths. The tail portions of the arms are located on different sides of the area determined by the outline of the radiator and point to opposite directions away from each other thereby exciting a double resonance in the antenna. The second arm comprises at least one branch extending towards the tail portion of the first arm thereby widening antenna operating band in the frequency range of 900 MHz.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for recovering organic compounds from plant waste water. A saturator (10) is coupled to a feed gas stream (70) and a heated makeup water stream (54) which includes recoverable organic compounds. The saturator provides a saturated feed gas stream (70) which includes feed gas, steam and recovered organic compounds. A pump (30) recycles saturator water (56) and the makeup water stream (50) is added to that recycle stream (54).
