Abstract: The disclosure concerns an antenna system having a clearance zone coupled to an antenna element, the clearance zone being further coupled to a ground plane. The antenna element and ground plane are electrically coupled by a short cable having a short cable routing. The short cable routing includes at least one bend wherein a portion of the short cable is disposed above the clearance zone. The short cable creates a bridging effect which reduces form factor while retaining lower frequency resonance.

Abstract: Disclosure of a novel accelerometer sensor method for detecting and measuring acceleration using paired radio frequency (RF) quartz crystal oscillators (QCO). Quartz crystal oscillators/resonators are known to be sensitive to acceleration or force impact events. Force impact events cause fluctuations in the quartz crystal resonator's natural resonant frequency. Normally this sensitivity to acceleration in QCOs is viewed as a negative property to be mitigated. This innovation exploits it in order to make a solid-state accelerometer with no mechanical parts. The crystalline structure of quartz crystal also has a preferred direction of maximum sensitivity to acceleration. There exists a mathematical relationship which relates these fluctuations in the resonator's natural frequency to the magnitude and direction of the accelerating source. Pairing acceleration sensitive QCO resonators will increase this sensor's sensitivity to acceleration.
